MASON loved, and the Senate resumed the consideration of the bill to provide fur the more cffectual execution of the third clause of the second section of the fourth article of the Constitution of the United States.

And after (ome rt marks by Mhun aud (Davis, the motion to strike out was agreed to.

CHASE moved to strike out the second section iliia si 11 irfl i 11 I mi ss to confine the onrru- i tions the bill to the SUU'H, aiul not extend it to 1 the Territories. He supported the proposition at 1 leugih. The Constitution provided only for restoration of the slave when he escaped from one State into another. Hi' argued that the slave es- raping into a free Territory was free, and there 1 lieiug no constitutional requirement lor his rendi- I tion, he was entitled to the freedom which accruod to him when he stood upon the soil ol the free. Messrs.

I NDKKWOOD, BKRKIKS, BALDWIN, and DAVTON, controverted the positions assumed by Mr. Chase, and opposed the amendment. ('MASK replied to each; maintaining that the I principles involved in his amendment werecorrert. Lf-L-said he felt but little interest in the i bill one way or the other, localise he was satisfied i that no bill passed by Congress would prove elli- curious, lie thought that the only way to effect a proper execution of the Constitution was by a hangc in the temper, feelings, and legislation of i the people of the North. By way of illustrating what was the public seutinient at present in (lie not ihern States, lie alluded to the proceedings of a cotiveu- i tion now in session at Caronovia, in the State of New York.

The convention was presided over by a black man, and there was a mixture of white and black composing the vice presidents and other officers. Among- the proceedings was the I adoption of a resolution requesting the fugitive i slaves present (thirty in number) to take seats together in such position that they could be seen by the delegates He read from the address the fuf- lowing to the slaves of the South, adopted by the convention, in which, be said, the slaves were called upon to commit uic crimes 01 murucr, arson, una fobliery, to secure their escape; Including our children, we number here anil in Canada 20,000 souls. The population in the free States are, with few exceptions, the fugitive slaves' friends. We are poor. We can do little more for your deliverance than pray to God for it.

We will furnish you with pocket compasses, and in the dark nights you can run away. We cannot furnish i you with weapons some of us are not inclined to carry if you can get them take them, and Is fore you go bai with bondage use them. If you are obliged to take life, the slaveholders would not hesitate to kill you rather than not take you hai into bondage. Numerous as the escapes from slavery arc, they would he still more so were it not for the master's protection of the rights of properly. You even hesitate to take the slowest ol your master's horses, but we say take the fastest.

Pack up provisions und clotties, and either gel the key, or force the lock, and get his money and start." lie said that while such proceedings were permitted in the Slate of Now York, not only by the laws of the State, but also received the sympathy of the people of that State, there could be little hope that uny law passed by Congress could prove elleetual. lie despaired of the perpetuity of any t'niun, when the public leclirig in one section could permit, sanction, or sympathize ith sui proceedings as these. HODGE. ol Iowa, as a rcprcsi ntaiivc of a 1 northern Slate, lend to the Senator a law of Iowa in i respect to negroes and inulaticxs, to show that the I 1 alleged Idling of sympathy for fugitive slaves did I not prevail in that Stale at least, lie rcpudiaUd, so far us his Stale as coin eruial, the sentiments of the convention at Cuxenovia. He thought it would be as just to condemn tin State ol Florida lor the 1 Lopez expedition agaiust Cuba, as to condemn the Stale ol New Yoik for the proceed tugs ol the luualies at Cazeuuvia.

Mr. Mcl.ANK ottered an amendment: For the purpose of enabling the Joint Committee on l'rinting to audit and settle witli the public pi inter, and to pay the amount actually expended by him, with per centum additional for the profits of the work, Mr. TOOMBS rxisrd a question of order.

The resolution, he said, was directly against the law. The CHAIRMAN asked whether lie was not correct stating that the terms of executing the publie printing arc fixed by law? Mr. TOOMBS replied in the allirmatlvc, and said that the amendment was, in cfleet, to override a public law. Mr. McLANE remarked that it was entirely competent for the House to appropriate a sum over and above the amount for the full performance ol the contract, which will still be executed.

The amendment did not interfere with the contract. It takes it for granted that the contract will be performed. It was for the. surplus of public printing, over and above the contract. The CHAIRMAN ruled the amendment to be out of order.

An amendment wa3 adopted, appropriating lor one hundred sets of the Congressional Globe and Appendix, and appropriating 15,500 for a hundred sets of the Register of Debates; to be deposited in the Congress Library, for the use ol members. The account to be kept by the Librarian, as of other books taken out, and one set ol each is lo be deposited ith each of the States and Territories. Other amendments were acted upon.

The Fugitive Slave lilll. My reference to the ougressional reports in another column, it will he seen that the Kugi live Slave hill was yesterday ordered by the Senate to he engrossed fur a third readiiic. This is tantamount to its final passage hy that body.

We congratulate the country upon this aus pieions risnlt. Tlie measure, if sanctioned hy the House of Representatives, which we will not permit ourselves to doubt, cannot fail to ercise a benign and wholesome influence on a section of tin- I'nioii which has long had just ground of complaint on account of the diilicul tics hieh its citizens have frequently had to encounter in the recovery ofthcirfugitive slaves. The enactment into a law of the hi 11 which yesterday received the lavorahle action of the Senate will remove these difficulties, secure and protect the people of the South in the enjoyment itf' riirlit r-i ill liwl t.i tliMn iiV lln? tuiiiui to pursue and recover tlieir fugitive slaves, and thus remove not only a source of constant irritation to that section of the but a grievance, under which it has for many years labored. The measure, we are sure, will be regarded as satisfactory by our Southern brethren. The Voice of (he South." In an article under this head, the Southern I'rcss tells ol the number ot proceedings public meetings at the South it has published, and states that "the liitclliircnrer, the Union, and the Republic, have not contained, in the same period, one-fifth part of tiiese authentic demon strations of the people's will." Answering lor ourselves, we have to say, that we do not consider we should have been consulting the true interests of the South, by contributing, in any degree, to increase the agitation and excitement which have unhappily prevailed to some extent in some porlionsol' that sedtion of the I'nion.

And further, we do not at all believe the proceedings of these meetings to have been "authentic demonstra lions of the people's will," so far as they lend countenance whatever to ilUtniiim, in the i vent of the adoption ol the measures now Irefore Congress. tell the I'rem it labors under a great misapprehension with regard to the feelings and sentiments of the real jteuple of the slavehuiding States, l.ei but a single direct, paljMibic, unmistakable movement be made, on the pari ol a single Slate, towards or disunion on account of tlic adoption by Congress of these measures, and there will be an uprising ot' the people of the South that ill strike the prime movers of the undertaking with dismay. Then will the I'rcss learn what arc "authentic demonstrations of ihe jrcople's ill." hi out urination ol tins opinion, the patriotic, conservative press of the South bruits us daily proofs, a few of which we may cite on the present occasion. The New Orleans Bee, shaking for Louisiana, 'We aicijuite certain that amongst the five-nudfurty Southern Sena tars anil Iteprtseniuiivca who i in uiirnp the of the establishment ol print at Washington, to defend the intrrests and lucidalc the opioiona of the; South, there arc not ten wine would give the slightest sanction to llie doctrine of disuuion, or who would hesitate to re pudiste and denounce it wherever and under whatsoever it might Lie broached. If this impression Lie correct, it followa th it the Southern I'reti grossly traduces the sentiments and cvni iclions of its patrons, as it does those of an overwhelming majority of the South, when it rrprodueea, with thai virtual approval which aili nee artiele ol whu il is drta ult to any whether the opinions are moat abhorrent or proposterous; most worthy of indignation or ridicule.

Such ia the language employed by a writer in the Smtlhrrn I'rmt at Washington city, who deaecratea the illustrious nameof Joua by atlathing it to iiia article. In the preceding portion of hia diaoiganizing rominunication, he addresses bimaeir to the men of the North, and them with the. accession of Georgia, if California lie admitted with her conatitutioa and present and then follow the acntencej quoted atiove. lie to en tertain the opinion that there ia no doubt that Georgia will arerde from tlie Union if (California lie admitted; at leaat he would induce to think he ao lielievea.

Soitlli Carolina. According to the press in South Carolina, there is a very excited condition ot tin; public mind in that excitement nearly akin both in its nature and intensity to that which prevailed there during the nullification fury of 1M31 and '32. The toasts oifercd and applauded there during the festivities of the late national anniversary startle us by their vehement animosity against the North, and hostility toward the Union. Can they truly indicate the feeling generally existing there? Does it in the respects mentioned so exceed the indignation at the action and opinions of the North which prevails elsewhere in the South? If so, that feeling cannot Ik? altogether a feeling of patriotism. There is ahout it too much of the fierceness of an old and reawakened hate.

And then the desire for action which these toasts indicate is too eager to have been all born of the present occasion. They savor of purposes and plans formed before the present crisis of excitement upon the slavery now promptly and ardently avowed in consequence of the hope of (heir the present crisis inspires. Can the leaders in South Carolina have been preparing for that State action which some of her politicians have recommended? Do they intend to involve the entire South, however unwise und unnecessary the act may in a dismemberment of the Confederacy, by the part which they shall make her lake, in reliance that the generous sympathy and affection of the rest of the slave-holding States will impel them to support aud join her? Such wilfulness on the part of the political leaders in South a determination to control events in which the rest of the South is as much interested as they, according to their own plans and views, argues an arrogance which ought not to be tolerated, aud an uukiudncss, if not contempt, toward the rest of the South which ought not to he encouraged. In reference to an event of sucii terrible consc(unices as the dissolution of an Union which Washington, aud the of his time, labored hard lo create -as the overthrow of a rrpublican Govern I. of prosperity, ami power, and glory, as to have become the political marvel of the event of durh mighty importance, not to only, hut to our children, autl our children's children, to remote generations, and to mankind nl large, the politicians of a single they the most passionate and reckless of not to be suffered to control the action of all.

How to mukc the Producer pay the Duty. Tim radical error of the ad valorem system, as it now stands, is. that it fixes only the jiro portion of tin Government, leaving the quantity to In- fixed hy others; thus making it the interest of all who deal with us to undervalue their goods, for the purpose of defrauding the treasury, and thus throwing on the consumer the payment of the duty. The Government must be supported, and, whatever is not paid hy the foreigner, must he jiaid hy ourselves. Had prirtt heen determined at the same time hat were fixed, the quantity to lie received by lite Government would have been an uniform one, and all the grievances to hieh we have ealled attention would have been prevented.

It would then have been easy to grail nate the proportions so as to meet the demands of the Government, raising the rate of duly if if I' nr nrir more were raised than was required. The English manufacturer himself fixed the priee of vires in our markrl. was willing lo place there one hundred iNHjnds fur the ynn of out of wliirh he paid the duly, he ther high low. He placed hollow ware there ai a discount of (illy jier joying himself the low duties of I81I-82, the high uf 181.1 to or the medium of suppose the to hare lieen then fixed, and nee what would then have heen the effort on competition. The paid by the foreigner would haw lieen $1 and it would lie payable on every one hundred irnpirted, whatever the price at whieh the foreigner might nee fit to invoice The Government wouhl not have found itnelf leagued with him for the dentrnetion of that eompetitiun whieh ran alone destroy monojsdy and establish freedom of trade.

It would, in effect, liavc.said to him, Von have fixed the priee at whieh yon are willing to nupply your gissls, and we have fixed the proportion of that priee which mtixt pmf into our treasury. We ill not increase that proportion for the purpone of aiding our own to drive you out of our market, hut, on the other hand, we will not reduce if to enable you to ruin hiin. Ruin him if you ran. Our policy is non-interference. We believe that freedom of trade ami reduction uf ill be promoted by competition.

and we are not favorable to the idea that we should aid yuu in the destruction of onr enterprising citizens who to establish here ij. The market of IH perusl at which the preterit tariff became a those at hich Kngland was tiling to supply ns with cloth ami iron, and out of those prices she herself paid the duty; and to permit her to than she then paid was to transfer to our own shoulders the burden which we then decreed she should make the consumer pay hat was intended to he paid, and was then paid, hy the prodneer. llad those priees lieen established, the (iovernment would have plaeed itself in a position of non-interference between the foreign and ottr ow citizens. By not es tablishing them it has made itself the ally of foreigners in a most destructive warfare on our own people, and in a war against morals, hy offering a bounty on perjury and fraud. By now I 1 correcting the error then committed, we shall accomplish four great objects first, that of rid ding ourselves of a system of fraud second, that of enabling the government to determine for itself the quantity that shall he paid; third, that of replacing the payment on the shoulders of the foreigner, to whom it properly belongs; and, lastly, and most important, the government will cease to lend its aid to that foreigner in his elTurls to erush our own for the purpose ol maintaining a the direct effect ol which is to compel us to give for his commodity far more cotton or tobacco than we should have to give were competition once fairly established.

"Km 10 number of alien passengers who arrived in New York durinur the vear f-U't. is reported at of which or little more than half, were from Ireland. To useei tain about the amount of capital brought to tlie United States by tllia vast army of immigrants, we refer to the statement of moneys received on account of minora becoming orphans by the deaths of their parents, on the voyage or soon after their arrival. Eleven heads of families are there reported to have died, leaving twenty-live children, and a total of 03 in money to be divided among them. This money, which is in addition to other little effects and property, in many cases of considerable value, if equally divided among the whole tliirty-ix persons interested, yiclda $10 05 to each.

Estimating the whole emigration from this, the total money capital brought to New York by tlie emigrants is 15. Large as this amount may at first seem, a little further examination proves it to be materially under-rated. "The mortality, in the statement referred to, is greater among the poorer portion of the emigrants, the Irish, than is their excess in uuinlier over others. Seven of the eleven families were Irish, and numbered in all twenty-six persons, among whom only $007 08 of the money is to be divided $'22 to the remaining four families, consisting of ten persous, would have the remaining $1,824 85, or 18'2 1H to each. The proportion of immigrants during the year is a little less than eleven Irish to ten from all other countries, and the money cnpital of eleven Irish at 96 each, and ten of oilier nations at IS each? yield an average of 02 all round, or a total capital for the year of This, too, is a small estimate, lor, practically, the deaths are the most numerous among' the poorer classes, and it is, almost without exception, only those which would be reported to the commissioners of emigration.

The exact proportion of Irish to others is, moreover, as is to 1,080, the calculation of which would also considerably increase the sum total arrived at. 'Figures will not lie' we were told by the copybooks, in our school-lxiy days, ami, if the rule still holds good, our remarks have established the fact that immigration, even of the poorest class, is a source of gnat profit to the country. And yet we have alluded only to the importation of tangible ruth capital. A field of nearly equal extent would be embraced in an estimate of the personal property and 'household gods' which accompany the emigrant in his journey from fatherlaixi, while I the value of his labor, and of his knowledge and i experience, are beyond the ieach of calculation. We may safely suy thai thirty millions of dollars I in hard cash, and twenty millions more in properI milliuns in the direct increase in the available capital of the country, by way of NewYork alone, as the result uf immigration in 184M.

i The lass uf immigrants is also rapidly improving; the more wealthy are now seeking our shores. How much greater profit and advantage, then, may be expected front tlie immigration of future years!" All who have had opportunities for observation will verify Ihe statement of the Suu that the class of emigrants now arriving is much in toils pecuniary ability, to its predecessors. This is peculiarly the case in reference to the emigrants from Ireland, because the taxation under the sysi tent has become so great as to make it necessary for those who possess a little property to remove from the country in order lo retain it. Those who possessed no means, and Itarely earned enough for their subsistence from day to oay. would always Doen iomi 10 remain, but for tin; fart that large amounts have every year lieeii remitted by friends who have preceded them, for the ptirjxtsp of reuniting families which their own emigration had severed.

The same is true of the other countries from which emigration proceeds. It is no uncommon thing io find young men from Germa ny toiling and saving, to enable them to amass the means for paying the passage money of a future wife; and instanced are known where the case is reversed, and llm damsel imports her espoused hushand. The German, industrious and economical, sisin saves enough to enable him to indulge his innate to lie the proprietor of land. This propensity is much less marked the na lives of Ireland, ami a eonsispience hns lieen that they have histensl, to a greater degree, in the cities of the seaboard Rnd along the lines of great works of internal injprovcmcol, which give employment to that labor which can Is-ex without the ownership of a of capital, not even to the amount of a pick or a spade. The increased pecuniary ability of the recent emigrants takes a larger of them to the West to become landholders.
