THE vExED QUESTION "-Certain
pro slavery presses at the North have ex~
ulted that the vcxed question of slavery
has been put to rest in Congress, by the
adoption of Mr. Pinckncy's resolutions
Itturns out to be rather short rest. On
the presentation Of another petition from
Massachusetts, the question being whether
''all petitions on the abolition subject past,
present and to come, Were to be referred
to the Select Commute" the Speaker was
of the opinion that only the petitions the
contents ofwhich wereknown to the House
at the time ofthe adoption of the reyolu-
ions were REFERRED" So discussion is
awake snd goes on again Aye, and it
will go on Tyrants may rage, but if
they think to chain or stifle discussion, in
high places or in low places, or in any
place, on a subject ofthe most vital impo1-
lance to this Republic, they imagine a
vain thing.

- Rev. A. Angler is about removing
from Orwell to Waterbury, and wishes his
correspondents to direct accordingly.

Mrs Peake Of Randolph, who was to
have been executed on Friday last, died in
jail at Chelsea, on the 18th ult One re-
port says she died Of ulcers in the throat -
another says that she procured opium from
the doctor, in small quantities from time
to time, to relieve pain, but kept the whole
rnti! she had obtained sufficient quantity
for execution. In our view Of things,
q l00, administering opium privately,
would be far less Objectionable, than the
present one, hanging by the neck publicly.

HE AMERICAN BIBLE SOCIETY,"
1t appears from the following preamble
and resolutions, taken from the New York
Observer, that the Board Of Managers of
this Society, have finally decided the i'm
portant question which has excited So
much interest for some months past.
"By the constitution of the American
Bible Society, its managers are restricted
In circulating the Holy Scriptures to such
copies as are without note or comment"
and In the English language to the "ver-
sion in common use" The design of
these restrictions clearly seems to have
been, so to simplify and mark out the dr.
ties Of the society, that all the religious
denominations Of which it is composed,

~ The latest arrivals from Eurore

annual message was satisfactory to France
Little doubt is left that the stipulated in
demnity will be paid without delay. The
following is from Paris correspondent
Of the New Y ork Commercial Advertiser:
Il pass to more important matter
You will wish to know how the Presi-
dents Message was received here. IAN
swer that it has been well received, very
well indeed. And now tell you fact,
which well know to het7ue, but of which
the Pubic here have not been informed
that the King and ministers, at cabinet
meeting he'd on Monday, (the 4th instant
after much debate, came to the conclusion
to communicate to the Government of the
! United States, through the Court ofSt.
James, There beng no other way at pres

nation tgiren to the message, and that they
are really to pay the money as soon as the

ec1ohs 1t is to be paid. So you see this
difficult affair has ended, unless as we
sometimes fear, the President, By his sub
Sequent message, upon the arrival of Mr.
Ba1ton's dispatches, should renew all the
difficulties, have only to add that the
King has shown himself, in this last stage
of the business, as he has done in every
preceding one, the firm friend ofthe Uni

ministers to settle it as promptly as posi-

THE SLANG kip.

In the good old times when Derrick
Vandeburgh, Dutch burgher, arriv.
ed from Holland, and landed with his
sturdy family at the Apokeepsing,
bis together with one or two friendly
families, were the sole residents and
owners Ofthe new pOpulous town then
wild wood, save few acres which
gradually cleared, and some small
spots of low land or swales where the
provender was obtained for the cattle
to preserve them during the long and
inclement winter. Derrick, by trsdi.
tion, was the very picture Of The genl
US of his nation, he was short and
thick, with a short neck, and large
round head, covered from view, ill
sleeping, with his hat, in the band ot
which was twisted the stem Of one
pipe, while in his mouth rested the
tube Of another, which after due per
Torrance, was exchanged for The first
and assumed its place 10 the said hat
band until called for. The pipe thai
was filled and lighted before Derrick
was dressed (for this was the first
thing after rising) was not laid aside
but for The meals, for the remainder o.
the day. II was the common prac'
tice OF many families to procure q
couch, which was used to call the meu
to meals, but in Derick's this had been
a useless appendage for at least three
centuries, and although they retained
one which had descended as a0 heir
loom 10 the family, yet it was elevated
on a pole some twenty feet high be-
fore the door, in which little twit
,ering wren had reared her annual
progeny for several years.
The place where Derrick was al
work could never be mistaken, for
whether il was ln clearing or 10 forest
there rose above the grass, or the tree:

which ever Aoated like peatly clOut

IS all that we have room for, it conialus
the conclusion Of the Attorney General on
the question submitted for his consIdera

''NO law has yet been passed by Con

thority 10 form O state Government. For
the reasons above stated, lam, therefore,
ofopinion that the inhabitants Of that Ter

cannot acquire, otherwise than by 40 act
Of Congress, the right to form such GOV

But | am not prepared to say that all
the proceedings on this SUBJECT, on the
part of the citizens Of Arkansas, will bs
illegal. They undoubtedly possess the
ordinary privileges and immunilies Of
citizens Of the United States. Among
these is the right Of the people "peacea

ment for the redress Of grievances. Ia
the exercise Of this right, the Inhabitants
OF Arkansas may peareabIy meet togeih
er 10 primary assemblies, for the purpose
Of petitinniBg Congress TO abrOgaIe tie

them into the Uni0n as an independent
State, The particular form which they
may give to their petition cannot be ma
terial SO long as they coB6ne themselves
to the mere right Of petIIiohIDg, and cOu
duct all their proceedings in PeaceabIe

Arkansas think proper 10 accompany

Ii is, however, very obvious that al

From ;he rapid increase ia business on

presumed that when the Sandy and Beav
or canal shall have been finished, the
tolls on the Ohio canal will at least a
mount to 100000 per aDnum; and from
the foregoing facts and statements il is to
be inferred, that two thirds of that trade
