GOVERNOR FORD AND SLAVERY.

There is nothing Eshy in the reference to
Slavery in the Message of Governor Ford, OF
Ohio. After avowing the deepest attachment
to the Union of the States, and asserting for each
State the power of exclusive legislation over its
own internal concerns, he proceeds
"While all the rights of the slaveholding States
recognised by the Constitution, should be rigidly and
in good faith maintained, it is equally the right
and the desire of the free States to be exempted
from all the evils and burdens which that insttu-
tion imposes
consequently, the General Government should
be clear from all responsibility for the existence
or maintenance of Slavery, or any traffic therein
The subject of the extension of Slavery into the
new Territories is one Of interest. and has for.
some time past agitated the whole country. The
interests Of the free States yea, the general in
terests of the whole nation--that higher motive,
the love of liberty, and the yet holer claims Of
humanity and justice, all demand that these Ter
ritories, whether they remain as such, or be adj
mtted as States into the Union, shall forever re-
main uncontaminated with the blight Of slavery
That Congress has the power to prohibit slavery
from being introduced into the Territories of the
United States where il does not now exist, there
can be no rational doubt. | would therefore re-
commend the passage of resolutions, pressing up
on our delegation in Congress the propriety and
necessity of passing an ordinance forever exclud-
ing slavery from every foot of territory owned by
the United States before any portion thereof
shall be organized and admitted as State.
{" would also invite your attention to the sub
ject of the slave trade in the District of Colum-
bia. That there should even be tolerated at, or
near, the Capital of this boasted free Republic,
system of traffic in human flesh and blood sys-
tenn so revolving that it cannot be permitted
within the borders of the slave States them
-,-cS - ~ - ,5tiiEaa upon oGS C-t1-.%ss'
escutcheon, and ought forthwith TO be wiped out.
would therefore recommend the passage of reso-
lutions requesting our delegation TO use their ex-
ertions and influence to have the slave trade in
the District Of Columbia Immediately abolished

of these disasters have occurred on the Mississip-
pi, Missouri, and Illinois rivers, and on the Ohio
below the Falls | notice but four or FIVE as oc-
curing between our city and Pttsburg. Twenty
Of the number in the first table were burnt at St
Louis. This 1t will be seen, is nearly ne.fourth
Of the whole number. The st Louis writer thinks
that IL every loss connected with Western steam
boat navigation could be known, including collis-
IONS collapsing Of boilers and fues damaging
of cargoes, &c, IL would swell the amount to the
enormous sum of 5000 900 900 or more and that
the accidents TO fiat and keel boats, and other
species of water craft, might be set down at
$500, 600 more.
These estimates I regard as exaggerated; but
still IL is evident that great losses are sustained
to Western Commerce by the dangers of naviga-
tion-many Of them, latter making all suitable
allowances for the carelessness of pilots and en-
gineersl unavoidable, as long as the distractions
which exist are not removed The improvement
Of our Western River Navigation demands the
attention Of our Government; and if the present
Congress and Cabinet do anything efficiently for
u.s. they will deserve, for this at least the thanks
of the Western people. If left to individual or
State enterprise nothing will be done, as past ex-
perience has shown. The right and expediency
Of our Government taking the charge Of improve
ments on our lakes and rivers is really true Dem
ocratic doctrine, however the would-be exclusive
Democracy Of the present day may disown it, or
try to evade it.
The HEALTH OF TIRE CITY
is good usual at this season, with the excep-
ton of the Small Pox, which has been unusually
prevalent for some months The Trustees Of the
Township have had from forty TO sixty patients
constantly under their care with this disease, for
three months past. Owing to the difficulty of
young men and strangers who are suffering with
it getting boarding. though well able to pay their
expenses, the Board of Health are about erecting
commodious hospital for their reception The
hoard report the iotsL expenditures ds-;ng sAe

June s. ls49, TO January 5, 1850, to have been

TUESDAY, JANUARY %, 1850.
SENATE


Mr.. Clay brought forward to-day plan for
compromising the Slave Question, embodied in
eight resolutions
The first proposes 10 admit California az a
State, with suitable boundaries, without any
attempt to interfere with her prohibition Of sa-
very.
The second, to provide Territorial Govern
ments for the Territories not incluGsd in the
boundaries Of such State, without imposing on
them any restriction in relation to slavery.
The third and fourth, propose to secure the
boundaries of New Mexico. and ut the same time
satisfy the claim of Texas by assuming her in
debtedness
The fifth affrms that it is inexpedient to abol-
ish slavery in the District Of Columbia. unless
with the consent of the people of Maryland, and
Of the people Of the District, and upon just COM
pensation.
The sixth afirms that Congress ought to abOl-
ish the slave trade in the District-the trade in
slaves imported into IT,
The seventh adirms the duty of Congress to
provide more effectual legislation for the recap
ture of fugitive slaves
The eighth denies the power Of Congress TO
prohibit the transportation of slaves from one
State to another, or the Interstate slave trade
Mr. Clay accompanied the presentation of the
resolutions with explanations, comments, aud
short speech on the necessity Of Cancellation. An
irregular debate then sprung up, in which Messrs.
Foote, Rusk, Mason, Davis Of Mississippi, King,
and Downs, took part, all dissenting strongly
from MIR Clay's position
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES..
The House was engaged in a further consider
alton of the subject of Mileage, and subsequent
ly of the joint resolution for the purchase Of the
manuscript Of WashingtOn's Farewell Address.
