Senate. The biti to suppress the slave trade in the District of Columbia was taken up. Toe question being oh the concurrence in Mr. Pearce's amendment, Mr. Cluy hoped the amendments would be reject ed, as they would defeat the bill in one House ur the oilier. The original bill would be passed, and next session a second bill to prevent abduction of slaves, and to enable the corporation to continue or remove free negroes, would be offered. Mr. Ilule approved tho amendments, as did Mr. Ew ing. M r Bell commented on the principles avowed by tile abolitionists. Mr. Mason said the evidence now before us was that this subject was to be agitated by the North and carried to extremes. Mr. Underwood did not believe, he said, that the series of measures would bring peace. Mr. Prutt advocated ail tho amendments. Mr. Cluy replied and resisted them.

Y Express, This fact is significant as showing the true state of the popular feeling in the Northern Stntes on the sub ject of the surrender of fugitive slaves. It ia gener ally known to our reuders thut this man Chaplin is the individual who recently attempted to ubduct the slaves of Messrs. Toombs <L Stephens, from Washington City, and that he is now confined in tlie District juil, awaiting iiis trial fur that outrage upon the laws of tho country, it is known thnt he lms the sympathy of an inlluentinl party throughout the North, and that he is countenanced by s everul hon orable Senators in Congress; but the above fact goes to show how deep laid in the Northern mind is the prin ciple ol hostility to the institutions uf the South, and liow utterly futile it is, ut thU day, to attempt to re st'ain that sentiment by legislative enactment, espe cially by such a hill as that with which the South has recently been mocked. '""We would ask those editors who tell us that the South has achieved all bIic had a right to auk, and who instance the fugitive Slave Bill as one of the great concessions made by the North, what do they expect fr rathe operation of that bill in u communi ty such as Western New York, where Slave stealing is heroism, and where the negro abductor i-honored by a presentation of plate from the Women. The Fugitive Slave Bill is u mockery and an insult to tlie people of the Soutli, and those Southern editors who are glorifying over its enactment chiefly by iouthern votes, and pointing to it as a concession from the North, which ought to compensate our people for nil we huve surrendered, must have a very poor estimate of the perceptive faculties of their reuderp. These gentlemen know that the bill, such ns it is, hus been passed rather by uortuern forbearance than northern support, and they know too, thut while a portion of the presses of the North openly declare that their people will nut permit it'to be carried into effect, others are »lready calling for its repeal. Un der such circumstances—with the masses of the peo ple, women, children, and all, in clamorous host- tility to the measure—of what value cun it be to the South 1 If any have doubts as to the Bentiinent of the Northern majority on this subject, let them refer to the proceedings of the Senate on Friday last, when tlie Slave Trade Bill—the first direct blow at the institution of Sluvery—was passed. For the information of those who have not seen it, wo give the hill as it passed the Senate, and as it hns since passed the House, (as we Icara by telegraph) by a vote of 120 to 47. The bill is as follows : Jlc it enacted, Ifc., That from and after the duy of next, it siull not be lawful to bring in- to the District ol' Columbia any slave whatever, for the purpose el'being sold, orfor the purpose of being placed in depot, to he subsequently transferred to any other S'uto or place, to be sold as merchandize. And if any slave should be brought into the said district by its owner, or by the authority or consent of its owner, contrary to the provisions of this uct, such slave shall there upon ueuome liberated und free. Sec. 2. And be it farther enacted, Thnt it shall and may be lawful, for euch oithe Corporations of the cities of Washington and Georgetown, from time to time, and as olteu us may be necessary, to abate break up, aud abolish any depot or place of confine ment of slaves, brought uto the said District as mer chandise, contrary to tlie provisions of this act, by such appropriate means as may appear to either of llie sum Corporations espedient and proper. And the same power is herein vested in the levy court of Washington county, if jny attempt shull be made within its jurisdiction^ tymt, to establish a depot or Place of confinement forslavcs brought iuto the said District as merchandize Lr sulc contrary to this uct. To this bill Air Pearce offered an amendment, making it a penitential-) offence to entice or per simile a slave to run away, ireni his master, mid conferring upon the loctl authorities of tlie District power to regulate the incoming, of free negroes. The fate of these amendments, which were lost by a vote of 32 to 19, should, we think, satisfy any one of tlie disposition of the Northern majority in the Senate, in regard to tlie protection of tho South in hersluve property. Not only Congress lias tuken it upon itself to legislate against the institution ol slavery in the District of Columbia, but by refusing to allow the authorities of the District to puss luws to regulate the tree ntgroes,which now compose one third of the whole population, it liw.4 manifested a determ nation to give the Capital ol' tilt Union up to the blacks.— This bill is a Northern measure, for which it will be seen, the only votes from the South ern States were Messrs. Benton, Clay, Under wood und tlie two Delaware Senators, none of whom may lie accounted very Southern in their affinities.— A. it is comprised iu the grand compromise scheme, of course it must he safiiaotory to tue Soutli, ami ull who presume to express their dissent from it will be denounced us dis unionists and traitors by those edi. tors among us who cluim ull the patriotism, and who prove their devotion tutho Union by yielding their support to such uiousuies us are hostile to the inter, eels and institutions of the South, thus inviting and encouraging the aggressions of our enemies, which me daily estranging tlie feelings of our people aud weakening the bonds of our political Union. But tlie measure of injustice and wrong is nearly full, and the day is at hind,when the demagogues and hacks of purty will be no longer permitted to mislead and deceive the people, who moved by a just indigna tion, will hold both their enemies und their betrayers to a fearful account. .

[Correspondence of the Baltimore Sun.] Washington, Sept. i5th. The week which has passed has been full of events in legislation. The fugitive 'slave bill has actually passed, and will, as 1 hope, tend to quiet one source of slavery agitation, it is gratifying to notice that the ancient and law-abiding commonwealth of Mas- sachuscits gave one-third of the whole number of Northern whig votes, which were given iu the House for that measure of justice and peace. It is true, the number was small iu tlie aggregate, but it wus a select party. They numbered only three, but weigh more than they count They consisted of Mr. Eliot of Boston, Mr. Taylor of Ohio, and Mr. McGrugbey of Indiana. Many thanks to the twenty-eight Northern Demo crats who saved tlie h’ll. The bill for the suppres sion of the slave-trade in tlie District of Coluiiitiia is the lust of the series of measures terming tlie compromise and it passed the Senate by a vote of thirty-two to nin- teen. It passed in its original from and without the amendments which Air. l’eurce proposed, and which are so important to tlie wel fare of tilis district, ll was well ascertained that no measure would pass by which tlie ubducyun of slaves from this district, und enticing them or aiding them to elope, could he adequately punished. it was also ascertained that no measure for pre venting the ingress of free people of color into tlie District, or tor recovering or bringing under control of law llint population, could be passed. In regard to the former matter, it was urged that the present law is stringent enough ; and, us to the latter, it wus contended that the constitution allowed of no dis tinction between colors. So, this city and District is to be the refuge of all the free blacks that may be driven out of other States, and ull tlie free States will ultimately expel them. It is determined to make this a model city. 'Pile friends of a high tariff’ measure linil very near ly carried their point yesterday. The measures can not ultimately fail in the House, if the vote ou.Mr. Vinton's proposition is a fair test, and, os to the Senate, I begin to doubt whether they will resist it. The measure was no part of the compromise, as re ported by the committee of thirteen, hut it appears that the friends of that system ot measures are now more disposed to yield something to the manufac turing interest ot the North, and especially of Pennsylvania, whose delegation gave so decided a support to the compromise. Air. Vinton’s proposi tion is ail ingenious one and will give high protec tion to the pig metal interest. The ad valorem rate ol tlie present tariff would be very high, if not pro hibitory, ii levied oil tlie valuation of 1845, '46. The proposition cannot, however, he of any benefit to tlie cotton manufacturer, should it prevail. It cunnot keep out foreign fabrics which come in com- petition with coarse cotton domestic goods, for no such goods are now imported. The depression com plained of is in thut brunch of manufacture, and it arises irom over production aud the high price of the raw material. There are, however, many classes ol fabric's to which Air. Vinton’s scheme would afford high protection. But the pig iron business is the °°J e ct h* view. Friends of a modification of the taritt are here, and others are expected from the dif terent portions of the Northern and Eastern States who will exert much influence in Congress in beimli' ot the ineusure.
