We understand there was fracas al the Sus-
pension Bridge on Saturday morning, growing
out Of the difficulties connected with the con-
struction of the Bridge. Clubs and stones were
freely used, and one or two guns One man had
his head broken in, and was carried away. We
did not hear whether his case was considered
hopeless. A porsion of the bridge was torn uP'
so as TO prevent crossing. On the American
side the population was much excited, and we
should not be surprised If further difficulties and
more serious, should occur, before matters are
settled. On this side there are strong threats
of tearing down the whole structure.-Bgfaio

gin the world each with two Representative

But il is not necessary 10 carry this invesii
CATION further into the history of particular
States. All illustrate, in the same way. th.
great fact stated of the paralyzing influence Of
slavery over the progress of population, and,
consequently, Of wealth and power. In a
parallel drawn between all the free States. ON
the one part, and all the slave States, on the
other part il will be found that the total States
area of the United States (tha. is, actually or
ganized as, and included within the limits of the
several states) is about 100000 square miles,
Of which the free States possess about l7O. 900.
and The slave States about 730 900; and that. II
We examine the free white population of the
United States, We shall find that about one
third Of it is in the slave States, and two-tbirds
in the free States That is, tEo-thirds of all
the organized State territory now in the Union,
belongs to one-third Of the white people of the
States, and is already secured, by every solemn
sanction Of law and constitution, 10 the purpo-
ses Of slavery-or, at all events, the purposes
OF the people of the slave States. Why should
more States, and more territory, be desired for
the imaginary benefits of AN institution which
actually puts a check upon population, substi-
tuting few slaves for an unknown multitude
Of freemenl
Let us take one more view, illustrating the
contrasted effects upon population of freedom
and slavery. The most densely peopled Of the
slave States is Maryland, which has popsla.
ton of fifty to the square mile; the most dense
ly peopled Of the free States is Massachusetts.
which has ninety-four and half To the SQUARE
mile, and may, certainly, aspire hereafter to
equal England, which has two hundred and
eighty inhabitants to the square mile. IL Vir-
ginia were peopled like Massachusetts, land
why might she not have been, but for 'sthe in
stitutionG'') she would now be able TO exhibit
the grand spectacle of a population amounting
10 6,62O.OO0! And if the whole organized ter
riiory of the States (rejecting all other terrific
ry,) were peopled in the same way, we should
be able 10 set down the people of the United
States at upwards Of lis, 0OO, 900. Taking the
ratio of England as the maximum for a free,
and that Of Maryland as the maximum for a
slave State, we should have for the present q nj
ted States, in the one case, population of no
less than 336, 900 ,OOO-in the other only &C, 900,
900. The difference. 276, 0OO, OOO-or more cor
rectly, twO-thirds of that difference, Is4, OOO,-
may be taken as the loss Of population, by pre-,
vention, which the republic may have. in future
times, TO charge to the depressing influence OF
slavery. In free States, it would seem. an6 will
go many times as far in sustaining population
as in slaveholding States--North American.

Asn u,peslc Frustrated

We lean that about forty negroes had made
arrangements TO leave their masters IN Woodiord
county, in this State, on Saturday night last,
but the plot was discovered just IN time to de-
feat its execution. The negroes all had free
passes. According TO the plan of operations,
each was TO steal a horse and cross the river be-
fore day. They were betrayed by negro TO
whom the plot was disclosed, and who was re-
euested 10 join in il. The negroes stated that
two or three white men who had been in the
neighborhood some days, furnished them free
passes. These men got an intimaton of the
discovery of the plot, and made their escape

Importnnt Decision.

A highly interesting and important decision
was delivered by the Hon. John Mclean, one Of
the Judges of the Supreme Court of the United
States, yesterday afternoon, in the case of the
United States VS.. John Rodgers & Lowell
These persons were arrested a few days since,
and brought before the mayor on a charge of
counterfeitng silver half dollars, quarters, &c,
and were held to bail. in default OF which they
were committed 10 the county Jail. Since that
time a writ was issued upon application Ct the
u. ). Deputy Marshall by Judge Mclean,
against said defendants, aud, as before stated,
they were brought before his Honor, yesterday.
The fact appearing that a criminal prOsec ution
is now pending before tie court Of Common
Pleas, against the defendants for the same Of
fence, and their commitment hy the mayor also
being produced, Judge Mclean discharged the
prisoners. In giving his decision, his Honor
stated, in substance, that the Supreme Court OF
the United States had decided tn ST the States had
jurisdiction, concurrent with the Federal courts
over such crimes as that with which the prison.
oners were charged. Ii was an offence both
against the sovereignty Of the State and Federal
| Government, and both had power 10 punish. -

tanned an opinion adverse 20 the jurisdiction OF
the States, strictly and legally speaking then
the proceedings in one court were not tar up
on those Of the other. But il would be repug.
nant 10 the spirit of our institutions 10 punish
man twice for the same offence, and, inssmuct
as the State authorities had taken cognzance o.
the present case, he declined TO take it on; o.
their hands. This was the first case that haG
arisen since the organization Of the Suprem,
Court of the United States, and the interference,
of the Federal Court might produce an unpleas
ant conflict of jurisdiction. He also stated that
il an offender had been punished by the Stat
Court, for CONTRIBUTING, he should not permi
him to be proceeded against for the same offence
| in a court over which he presided.
The decision of his Honor was clear and able
and we have only glanced at some Of its mos
| important features. AS II treats Of highly in
teresting legal question. we trust II will be pub
/ lished in fuIl.-CiR. Com

the letters and papers forwarded 10y our special
correspondents, we are in the receipt of several
items OF interesting intelligence.
The eMette, noticed in our express despatch,
forwarded pei the America, appears TO have sub
sided. AT present ell appears TO be quiet, and the
rebel camps, as certain portions of the Southern
press acetiously called them, have broken up, the
insurgents returning home until more favorable
times.
M. DOheny is still at large. The coDstabula-

whereabouts, not few continuing TO assert that he
is "suTe and certain" within the precincts OF Dub

Smith u Brien, Mr.. Meagher, &c.
The latest intelligence from the counties OF kil-
kenny, Waterford, and TipPerary, is satisfactory,
as regards the absence of rebellion. A special
messenger, whom We have sent 20 those districts,
writes as TO say, that TiPpeTary is tranquil Al
Carrickon-SuiT, the seat centre of the late out
break, there is at present not the least manifesto
ton OF further disturbance. The "camps'' which
were formed have been broken up, and every man
has departed for his own home, with the exception
of desperate few who are still wandering about the
Cameregh mountains, in the county ofWaterford.
Cur reporters add, that although all is quiet, for
the present, 1t is their opinion thai the distur-
Dances which took place last week will be renew.
