It is known that Virginia ceded to the United States all her Territory north west of the Ohio river, and that her lihendii v was compensated by prohibit* iug Slavery therein, to which net of in justice, the South was induced to sub mit, by the agreement that fugitive slaves should be delivered up, on de mand, and that this territory should not be divided into more titan five states. How well the North has observed the first of these stipulations, is manifest in the immense annual losses sustained by Southern citizens, from thcficeingnf their slaves into the free slates, and the utter fruiticsswss of all attempts to re? rapture them by their owners. North ern men deem it an honor,to aid includ ing ail search-instituted for the purpose of discovering and capturing the fugi tives. Northern Legislatures esteem it their duty to their respective Common wealths, to enact laws rendering it high ly penal in any State Officer, to aid in arresting any person claimed as aruna* way slave, within their limits. How well she has observed the second stipu lation, is seen in the reservation of the Territory of Minesota for another free State, after five had already been admit ted. The Louisiana Territory was noxl ion would have been allowed more tb: one for the same population. Ninetecn- nvcniicths of these persons were ad venturers from every part of the world, intending lo make no permanent stay in that territory, or to become citizens thereof.

With out these are affected we are power less for good. Submission affords and offers no remedy. Secession, although an inherent right of the Slate, should not be resorted to until all hope of cable adjustment is extinguished—when all would see and leel, and would re cognise the justice and necessity of the adoption of that extreme remedy.

The Philadelphia Ledger, a few days ago, published the following: A Windfall for Somebody.—We a day or two since came into possession of what purported to be an extract of a very singular will, which it is said has lately been proved ct Liverpool, Eng land. The testator, a Col. Daniels, it seems, was formerly a sojourner, for the summer months, at New Haven, Connecticut. In his will is the follow ing clause; “And now, having no other relatives or friends who need my bequest,! give to a certain bookseller in New Haven, Connecticut, in the United States of America, all my shares in the Banks of Liverpool, England, and Dumfries, Scotland, amounting, as will appear by the certificates iu my possession and by the bank books, to four hundred thou sand and sixty-two pounds currency.

Mr. Young commenced life as editor of a newspaper at Norwich, Connecticut; was afterwards a bookseller at New Haven, Connecticut; and there, be tween the years 1833 and 1839, he be came acquainted with the above named Col.
