HOW 1T WAS DONE.

The Washington correspondent Of
the Baltimore Clipper thus explains the
manner in which the grants of land for
our Railroads was defeated in the house
Of Representatives;
Ii seems that the northwestern free
trade men agreed TO sink so much OF
their flee.trade doctrine as TO vote
with the protective tariff men TO alter
the tariff of 1916 as indicated in the
propositions recently made TO the house
if the latter would vote with the for.
mer 10 donate the public lands for in
ternal improvements. Under this agree
ment, the Mobile and Chicago Railroad
bill passed, appropriating 5000 section:
of public land in aid of that road.
After this was done, the high tariff
proposition was brought forward, but
the northwestern free.trade men viola.
ted their agreemen nj, and voted agains,
the tarilfiiies. This incensed the latter
TO such degree that they voted down
the Missouri Railroad bills of Mr.. Bow
lin, and refused TO TO lei the money &c
TO build a National Armory at Forl
Massac, in Illinois. Mr.. McClernand
undertook, yesterday, to enlighten the
tarif1'ites upon this point, but he go
laughed a, for his pains, and was voted
down in the bargain.
AT this juncture commenced The dis
graceful scenes of last evening, which
lasted for four hours. To-day the de-
bate and anger between the Two par,
ties keep peace with each other in in
tensity. The hope is, that both will
subside in time to let the appropriation
bills 90 through safely. think the
tariffiies did very wrong in making
any such bargain as that indicated
above, but the anli.larillites did more
wrong in refusing TO comply with the
agreement The best way is for lht
friends of home industry to send tariff
men TO the next Congress, and there
will be no need of any bargains what
ever TO carry out lolnt measure.

who would grace the halls of the Ma
tional Legislature with credit to them.
selves, and usefulness to the country
They all have their Just claims upon The
whig party. First, we may name Henry
s. Geyer, of ST. Louis, known every
where TO his profession, as a lawyer Of
deep learning and commanding abilities
but still better known TO the people
of his own State, for more than quar-
ter ofa century, by reason of his un.
swerving and giant services in behalf Of
the success and triumph Of the Wing
cause.
Edward Bates too, Of the same local
ity, is well known TO the people of
Missouri, Of which he has been a con.
slant resident for more than thirty
years, and known extensively all over
the American union; as speaker of
shining qualities his name is every
where familiar. But like others, he
has been under the ban Of political
seclusion, and indeed, was scarcely
known beyond the limits of his own
State, until by the good providence Of
God he was called from his long re-.
lirement to take part in the delibera
tions of the great Chicago Convention.
1t was there he distinguished himself,
upon the breaking up Of the Conven.
ton, in speech that captivated all
hearts and established his reputation as
an orator Of peculiar power and ability.
But am perhaps trespassing too far
upon your space and hence close this
article, by commencing our whig party,
now somewhat discordant and distrac.
ted amid the elemental war of political
excitement. 10 the wholesome counsels
Of moderation, concord and union.

WASHINGTON, Sept. %.

| have seen the President, who keeps
himself well trimmed, well dressed, and
more in embonpoint than formerly, with
a pleasant smile for everybody. He
is early at his room, and accessible TO
all. By his regular training, he is ena.
bled TO dispatch business with facility
to himself, and satisfaction to others
He is very easily seen, and though ap-
parently a man of cautious and pru'
dent habits, is still destitute of all off.
cial mystery and circumIoculion. He
seems to be winning golden opinions,
not only by his public acts, but by his
personal intercourse with people who

This Oriental gentleman is tall and thin

hooked nose, long thin mouslache,
and a small, slit eye, but very keen.--
He wears fez, or red Moorish cap,
with a rich black tasscl, and a military
coat of the European fashion, with rich
gold epauelles. In the outline he
greatly resembles the French General
Cavaignac. His manner is grave, but
marked with ease and courtesy.
Mr.. Webster is, as usual, hard at

A CLEAN WHIG.
FUGITIVE SLAVE LAW.

The Fugtive slave BILLS now in
operation, and its first effects have been
TO produce considerable alarm among
the colored population in this State,
near the borders Of the slave States
From Pittsburgh one hundred and fifty
colored men, principally escaped slaves,
have taken their departure for Canada.
They all went well armed; under lea
ders and prepared TO fight if their pas.
sage was disputed. The law is terri.
bly, berated in the Pittsburgh papers,
and some of them advise the Legislature
to make it penal offence to be en-
gagged in the re-capture Of slaves. OF
course such an act would have no force
agains, a law Of Congress. The return
Of fugitive slaves is constitutional OBJ
legation upon the free states, and though
they may enact that the officers of the
State shall not lend their assistance 10
such recovery, ye, they cannot legally
interfere with those whom The United
States government appoint to that duty,
The new law will probably meet with
much opposition from the enemies of
slavery. The first reclamation under
il took place in New York on Friday.
The Deputy Marshal there arrested a
young negro, named James Hamlet.
telling him he was charged with theft.
The negro resisted, and made signals
TO some other colored persons who
were at work in the vicinity, and who
came up with the evident purpose to
rescue the prisoner; but they were de.
TERED by the production Of revolver
by the Deputy Marshall who took the
prisoner into coach TO the office of
the U. S. Commissioner. In the course
oft day he was brought before Mr..
Gardner, and his surrender was claimed
under The act of Congress passed Sept.
18th, 1850. The Commissioner re.
quired the production of evidence of
the ownership of the negro. Thos. J.
Clark deposed that he knew him, knew
his name TO be James Hamlet, and that
he was owned by Mrs. Mary Brown
of Baltimore, from whose service he es.
capped in the Fall of 1888. The witness
produced certificate copy of the will
of the late John G. Brown, who had be.
queathed the negro to the present
owner. This testimony was corrobo.
ted by the rvidence of j. A. Brown, son
Of the claimant, and the Commissioner
signed the warrant for the delivery OF
the negro TO the owner. In about an
hour after the decision was given, the
negro was puI into a carriage and Ia
ken TO a vessel which was TO sail on
Friday night for Baltimore. The pro.
ceeding was summary, in accordance
with the terms ofthe law, and the ne,
gro was not entitled to the benefit o.

And that our feelings in the selfsnme channel
Fresh from thy heart, and mnglng into one.

Then may you ask, and then repeat, by me to
