He read the resolutions of the Legislature of his State, protesting against any interference of Congress with slavery or the slave trade in the District, or any attempt to exclude slave-holders from any of the Territories; but also ex- pressing an invincible affection for the Union under all circumstances. Mr. Badger dwelt with all the unction and emphasis of the most loyal and sub-1 missivp vassal on this la fit resolution.

Such sentiments as these, although uttered in a Senate, and by day-light, would better become the kitchen of a Russian noble, and would be no honor to that. He said that nothing would justify resistance to the Federal Government which woald not justify resistance to the Stale government of North Carolina and that a dissolution of the Union would be perfectly ruinousto that State. So far then, as one Southern senator is concerned, the North has notice that she may violate the Constitution at will she may usurp any 'Official statement of the Polls of Election, for the County of Edgecombe, compared at the Court House in Tarboio, on Saturday, the 3rd of August, 1850.

The construction placed in this speech on the resolutions of North Carolina is utterly unwarrantable. If it were correct, nothing could be so silly and laughable, as for that Legislature to resolve at all; It would have no faculty that could enable lit to resolvebut only to beg and to Even if it were true if -it were possi- at 9 Stalft cxlats in this wide Union, or the world no true bouinern State would court her co-operation, or submit to an association with her.

He was about twenty years of age, and was said to be a very amiable young man. i Q3Ve regret to learn from the Raleigh papers that during the march of the procession in, that city, in honor of the memory of General Taylor, an accident happened to Major Wm. J. Clark, who acted as one, of the Assistant Marshals. His horse became unmanageable, reared with him and fell back, Major rlark faI1" ing partially untler him.

He suffered severe pain but his injuries are not considered mortal. His escape from death is said to have been truly Providential. ib. (pThe Granville Whig published at Oxford, N. is to be discontinued.

The Editor says that he commenced practising law last January, and fearing lest he might have to go through the usual ten years of starvation allotted to young lawyers, he started the Whig for the purpose of keeping soul and body together, as well as to pass away time.

The extraordinary storm which visited this part of the country on the 17lh and i 8tli inst. was terribly destructive at the North. The papers from Norfolk, Washington City.

The National Intelligencer quotes a letter from an offi great mortality, taking into consideration I utter tlestitution of many, the want of prairie knowledge, The amount of rascality on the road is almost beyond belief; there is hardly a crime that has not been perpetrated, from murder down.

Tchitanfep'C A letter from New Orleans states that our Government has made a Treaty with Mexico to secure the ight of transit by railroad across the Isthmus of Tehauntcpec, aereeablv to the principles laid down on that subiect bv President Taylor in his annual message. The success of this negotiation cannot fail to be gratif) ing to commercial men, and indeed to all who look to the retention of our possessions on the Pacific. As an auxiliary measure to the great canal by way of Nicaragua, it must go further towards binding together the Atlantic and Pacific States than anything which can be devised, except indeed that magnificent enterprise itself, which is now taken under the joint protection of Great Britain and the United States, and will before long be under the protection of all maritime States in the world. Sugar.

The Baton Rouge Advocate says: In this section, the sugar mill is rapidly taking the place of the cotton-gin the unoccupied lands are coming into cultivation and even the worn-put and abandoned cotton fields are found well adapted to the raising of this crop. We are informed that there are now being erected, in this immedite vicinity, no less Oin fifteen sugar mills at, probably, an average cost of $510,000 each. This will bring into cultivation not less than 5,000 acres of land, throwing into market hogsheads of sugar, which will find its natural transit through Baton Rouge, contributing to her prosperity, and proving that she possesses the most substantial element of a great city--a rich bact country. A Bloody Affair and Distressing Accident A correspondent of the Ohio Slate Journal, writing from "Quaker Bottom," Lawrence county, Ohio, date of itf 6far most dteadful affair between several run- away slaves and white, persons, and also of a distressing accident: The first news that crossed "my; path' after arriving at home on Tuesday morning last, was a detailed account of a most hor-rible conflict betwixt six negro slaves who had escaped. from their masters on the opposite side of the Ohio river some eight or ten days previous, and eight or ten white citizens of this county.

It appears that the negroes were bewildered -and. called on Isaiah Crawford, who lives in this (Lawrence) county, and about eight miles from the Ohio nvcr requesting Mr. Crawford to show the road they should pursue, that they wished to travel North. Mr. Crawford gave directions accordingly.

The negroes started on the road as directed, and on reaching Morrison's bridge, but a short distance from Crawford's, were met by several while men, who supposed them to he fugitives, and attempted to capture them, or ordered them to surrender. The negroes were well -armed and they fixed upon the whites, instantly wounding several badly; they then fell upon the remainder with cudgels and beat several until supposed them dead, after which they pursued their journey a short distancethen turned back, rccrossed the bridge and were making their way towards Crawford's, who on hearing the report of guns and yclis of men had started with two of his sons to ascertain what the matter was. The negroes on meeting fell; upon them with cudgels, wounding each of them sevcrcly.lt is thought by the phy- sicians that the old gentleman's wounds arc mortal. Several others were taken up for dead, one of which received a bullet in the laying the skull bare several inches in Iercth The negroes made their escape into the wilderness. It is said that several companies men numbering 70 in all, are in pursuit of the negroes.

One of the fugitives belonged to Mr. Stewart, who lives on the banks of the Oh io river near Guvandotte. During Mr. Stewart's absence from home on the Gth instant in pursuit of his negro, two of his small sons were into the river by a negro servant; they waded out some distance from the shore upon a small shoal, bar or reef, which made quai tcring down stream. On the approach of a violent storm the boys fled for shore, the negro outrunningthe little boys, they made a direct course for shore, and were swamp ed in deep water instantly, as the lower Condition of ihe BlacJcs in Canada A correspondent of the NewaTk Daily Advertiser, a moderate anti-slavery paper, writing from Detroit, Michigan, under date of May 25lh, say's: "The debates on the slavery question being dull, I took a drive over into Cana da, to sec what really is the condition of the slaves delivered there by the "underground railway." We found a new purchase, where houses for the occupancy of some thirty families arc preparing.

There is a colony of one thousand in and above Maiden, eighteen miles down the river, and a large one in the interior. There are so few facilities for a livelihood, that their condition is often worse than that of our own free blacks, and but for the contributions of the friends of the enterprise, would be worse. It is. said that many would be glad to return to their masters." This is written by an Abolitionist, who is likely to give us as favorable an account as possible of these stolen fruits of his rascally tribe. iFortffltr.
