OUTRAGE AT DAYTON OH1o.-Fro,

= H x
OUTRAGE AT DAYTON ONO. From our
late exchange papers we learn the partic-
ulafs OF an outrage at Dayton which result
ted in the shedding of human blood! The
circumstances which led to the riot, were
these: On the 23d ult., Elk Senator Thorn
as Morris was at Dayton, and attempted
to deliver a lecture in the Court House,
on the abolition of slavery. A portion
OF the citizens assembled at the Court
House and prevented him from speaking.
The abolitionists quietly withdrew, and
the next day notice was given at several
churches, that Mr.. Morris would lecture
on Monday evening a! the house of DR..
Hobart Jewett, in Dayton. The lecture
was delivered accordingly, despite the op-.
position of mob which tried to prevent
it but was deferred from its. purpose by
the police. After the meeting had broken
up, the mob, after breaking in the win
dows of Dr.. JeWet,'s house, proceeded
to a negro hut in the suburbs in pursuit
OF a white woman of bad repute. Inquiry
was made for her. but the negroes inform
ed the mob that she was not there. The
white creatures then demanded to know
if there were any Abolitionists in the
house. Whereupon general fight ensued
between four negroes and two women,
and their assailants. One of the negroes
had Bowie knife, with which he killed
one Of the ruffians named M'Cleary, on
the spot; and four or five others were
more or less dangerously wounded. Some,
and perhaps all Of the blacks, have since
been arrested and lodged in jail. Such,
briefly, are the facts of this lamentable
occurrence as they have come to our
kno Wedge.
Sincerely as we regret the fatal termi-
nation of this unfortunate atfray, yet we
cannot condemn the conduct of the unof-
tending blacks in standing upon the defen-
sive. MISREPRESENTATION is the first law
of nature:" and it is not only the privi-
lege, but the right and the duty of every
man to defend himself. And if those who
feloniously invade this, are repealed with
loss. there are none to blame but them
selves. When individuals transcend the
laws, and are unfortunate in its transgress-
ion, they have no right to appeal to its
authority for protection or redress. We
hope this awful calamity will prove a salu.
tary warning to others TO pay more respect
to the laws, and thus avoid violent and
unimely exit into a fearful Eternity!

UNITED STATES SENATE.
The Vice President presented docu-
nsnt from the Secretary of War in re-
fprence TO the troops upon the Western
tOnlier. and one from the Secretary Of
he Navy in reference to the Navy con-
rscts for the present year.
Pre- EMpTIoN BILL.
The discussion upon this bill was con-
dnued until late hour.
Mr. Webster gave his views upon
several important points, which were
slqned to with intense interest by the
ihl Senate. They were briefly as FOL
lows:
That the proposition to Distribute the
proceeds arising from the sales of Pub
liz Lands was one based upon wise and
IPpper principles. AS measure of JUS
ice to the States, the distribution prin-
laple was a good one. AS question Of
nance, too, he had looked to it and
logsht it should be adopted. If three
eiour millions were drawn from the
hasury in consequence of the princi-
pa Of Distribution, still he would have
jtadop:ed as a measure Of right, and the
ladciency met by tax upon customs.
At present, he proposed to meet the
ls6ciency by tax upon wines and silks.
Ind other articles used in the rate OF
| nety.nine hundredths of the aflluent
laembers of society. An ad valorem tax
Flhin the principles Of the compromise
'oald be made upon articles OF luxury
Ehch should Of right pay revenue duty.
The great question presented to the pub
lie was whether there should be Dls,ri-
luton and tax upon articles of luxury,
II no Distribution and silks and wines
s admitted free from duty.
Mr. Webster had no hesitation to de-
Fare himself in favor Of the former. Mr.
webster spoke generally in reference to
]eeelpts from customs, and commended
Dat the Custom House Revenue should
l0rd the means for supporting the
ssernment. They had done so without
seelpts from lands, aud would do so
shenever there was a proper revenue
Y imposed. When the customs were
mall as they were in the year immedi-
sey succeeding the war, they were re-
sd upon. Mr. Webster said he re-
@mbered to have been called npon by
resident Madison, during the last year
" his administration. Among the quss-
soas discussed privately was that of the
public domain. Mr. Webster was told by
a@ President that there would be time
asae history of the Government when
jT%e receipts of land would yield the
treasury million and half of dollars
"a million at least.-Since then You
l WI remember that the lands have yield
H. 100000 almost, and the loves
lions. 49,
Mr Webster spoke also of the Pre-
apaon system. He had favored the
y. mner Bills which had passed Congress
~ was hardly willing to vote agains
Sfre-emption Bill if its abuses coule
elected. But the whole land system
!. % come before the next Congress

LATE AND INTERESTING.

By the arrival at Philadelphia, Of the
ship Nontezuma, Captain Coop, from
Manila, we have advices from Macao, TO
the middle of August. We have been
favored with the perusal of several.letters,
and learn generally, that an English mis-
sionary, who was bathing in the river,
was taken by the Chinese and conveyed
to Canton, where he was threatened with
decapitation, A demand had been made
upon the Government for his release in
five days-but this was declined An
attack was then made upon Chinese
fort in the neighborhood Macao, when
60 or 70 were killed. The forts at the
Bocca Tigris had 200 cannons mounted,
and the English had not thought it pru-
dent to attack them. Indeed, the impress
sion generally seemed TO be, that the
British force was inadequate to the OBJ
iect i'll v;ew--that the war was likely to
prove very protractcd and that conse-
quen,ly foreign trade would be interrupts
ed for long time. The Chinese exhib-
tied no disposition to yield. The expe-
dition thus far, had not in the view OF
many intelligent observers, been charac.
terised by much ability.
