We arc not familiar with the details of the
bill which has bsen reported for this purpose
Butwe think the principle and policy both good
The State Of New York prohibits the trans
portstion Of freight on her railroads ffom the
lakes, unless an extra charge IL paid, equal to
her canal tolls. This subjects Northwestern
produce to an imposition that cannot be JUST
fed. Let the lake country, therefore, secure an
outlet by the ST. Lawrence, which this bill offers
Ships can be laden in the lake ports Of Ohio
Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, and Wisconsin, and
pass with their cargoes of wheat, corn, and pork
direct to Liverpool through the Canadian canals
and by the St Lawrenco--and can return will,
their cargoes of foreign goods direct without
coming round by the New York public works
to pay them extra tolls.

sion was sustained upon appeal 70 the House.

BRANCH MINIS AT NEW AND SAN rRAscIsco
Mr.. BRIGGS then moved that the House 20
into Committee Of the Whole on the special or
der, which was the establishing branch mints at
New York and San Francisco.
Mr.. CARTIER in the Chair.
Mr.. BRIGGS stated that the bill passed the
Senate in May last, AFTER long and earnest de-
bate. Il had been referred to the Committee on
Commerce, who had reported the same to the
House. This was no new question. II had been
agitated for many years previous to the discovery
OF gold in California; il necessary then it Is ne
cessary now The receipts of gold and silver
bullion at New York, reached thirty millions OF
dollars during the year ending September 30th,
1850 The mint for the same time, had coined
little else than double eagles, which created the
scarcity Of small coins As much time was re-
quired TO coin small pieces large. Twenty
seven million had been coined within the last
year, and twentythree millions OF had been in
double eagles. Had equal proportions Of the
several denominations been coined, but fifteen
millions could have been disposed Of at Philadel-
phia As il is there are FIVE millions remaining UNI
coined. Mr. B. estimated that fifty millions OF
bullion would be received this year, on account of
the working Of gold bearing quartz rocks. He
urged the necessity of establishing mint IN n
city where wo-thirds ofthe revenue was received,
and which was destined to be the centre ofthe com
merce Of the civilized world. Mr.. b. resisted the
project Of the Secretary Of the Treasury, in re-
spect to this subject, and closed by asking the
friends of the bill to oppose all amendments there
to, because calculated to prevent s ultimate pas
sage ut the present session.
Mr.. CHANDLER proposed to amend the bill
by striking out all after the enactng clause, and
inserting a substitute providing for u branch mint
in California and an Assayer's Office in New
York.
On motion Of Nh. BRooxs, the committee rose
and the Chairman reported progress.
On motion of Nix. BRIoGs, il was voted tina,
discussion should cease on the above bill on Fri
day, at IAN.
The House then adjourned.

From the Arkansas Bsnasr we extract the
following Communication relative to the with
drswal Of this gentleman from the post he has
filed 80 well, and 40 devotsdiy.
From the tone Of many other papers in that
State, we feel convinced that his constituency
are not willing to lose bis services, and hope he
may be prevailed on to remain in Congress at
least for another term.
The Southern delegation has boastsd of no
one moro fearless and faithful in unfolding the
great cause Of Southern rights, and branding
recreants and traitors, than RoBERr W. JoHN-
SON. Wsca i'll spare from the public coun-
sells such man at such time:
~The fact of the Hon. r. w. Johnson de-
clining reelection to Congress, is extremely
regretted by the people in Randolph, Green and
Poinsett counties, particularly at crisis like
this, when his services are 30 much needed by
the whole State, in the councils of our nation !;
when the North. by Legislative enactnents,
palpably in violation of the compact that binds
these States together, is trying to crush the in
stituti0ns of the South, regardless Of every
pledge of political faith. Among these the
odious and degrading compromise act, passed
by the last Congress, which entirely excludes
the South with her property, from the newly
acquired territ0ries-acquired by the treasures
Of the South and the blood Of many noble
Southerncr, willingly poured out on every hard
fought BATTLEFIELD in. Mexico. What becomes
Of our equal rights, intended to have been se-
cured by this solemn compact Does not the
South now stand degraded and fearful? This
compromise act has stamped on its face condem-
nation deep and damning to the degeneratcd
sons of the South
How long is the South to forbear? Must she
give up her all, and submit5to every thing the
North may think proper to impose upon her, and
to go into scrvtude and change condition with
the very slave, or will she rise from her slumbers
like giant in his wrath, and shake this federal
bondage from her like dew-drops from lions
mane," and compel the North to respect her
rights in the Union or ont of it! Without equal
ity we cannot live together MS one great political
family--our bonds must be dissolved We know
our rights and dare maintain them at all hazards
and to the last extremity. Thus, and thus only,
peace will be brought about, and if there ever
was time when true patriotism, talent, energy,
zeal, and courage, was really needed in the coun-
ellis of the nation it is now. This is trying
time the whole South cannot be too much alive
must BIO done, and that speedily, If the bonds Of
this Union are to be preserved.
Col. Johnson is a well-tried veteran, as true
to the South and her institutions as the needle
to the pole, and is alike capable, faithful and hon
est It is hoped that he may yet be prevailed
upon to become candidate for reelection

The Boston Journal of the 9th gives the
latest advises from that city in the following
bulletin. 1t will be seen that the coalition is
not dead yet, but are determined to try another
q experiment" The Journal is an outsider
a Wing print. Gov. boutwell,, according to
its authority, is taking hand in this truck and
dicker" business in the House.
WHAT WILL THEY DO NEXT The House Of
Representatives having postponed the election of
Senator to Congress for six years from the fourth
of March next, for a fortnight, it remains to be
en- what further movement will be made by
the friends of Mr.. Sumner to promote the election
of that gentleman. On Saturday the communica-
ton Of Governor Boutwell, to the House Of Re-
personalities, notifying that body that vacancy
now existed in the Office of Senator TO Congress,
which vacancy had been temporarily supplied by
the apr ointment Of Mr.. Winthrop, was taken from
the table, and sent to the Seuae in order that the
Senate might receive official notification of the in
teresting fact'
this hint, and proceed forthwith to the election,
on their part, of United States Senator, to su-
persede Mr.. Winthrop for the few remaining
weeks of the session Of the present Congress, and
elevate some sold line Democrat to that office,
and thus show' their willingness and alacrity in
carrying INTO eneCt the pHOfc terms OF the treaty.
Who will be selected TO receive the empty and UNI
profitable honor is not generally known--it is be-
lieyed, however, that more than one individual Of
the Democratic party has already refused the prof
fered boon.
The House, Of course, would confirm the Election
of the Senate, unless there should be some "m-
practicable" Feee-soiIers, who would obstinately
and ill-naturedy resist the attempt to bestow any
more favors upon the ungrateful Democrats until
they receive something in return. II the plan
should succeed, and stern, un1inching Demo-
crat shall be elected to the Senate by the action of
both branches of the legislature, the question then
arises, would this manGuvre accomplish the OBJ
ject Would the hearts Of the twenty five thir-
ty Democrats, who now stubbornly refuse to vote
for Mr.. Sumner, be 10 melted with this signal man.
Hesitation of honesty and generosity on the part
Of the Free-soil members, that they would repent
Of their misdongs, forego their opposition to the
favorite champion Of the doctrines Of freesoil and
join in elevating CHARLES SUMNER to the United
States Senate for six years :
The experiment would be bold one, and
somewhat Desperate perhaps. The FrsesoiIers,
however, would NOT lose much by the attempt, and
we should not be greatly surprised at any course
they in their wisdom may adopt, in order to carry
their darling measure. which seems to override,
not only all principle Of action, but all pride of
appearances.

a fire broke out at half past five o'clock this
morning, in the extensive glass blowing estab
lishmcnt Of Messrs. Sweeney u Bell. Before
the flames could be subdued the entire building
was consumed including the cutting, grinding
and packing rooms. The total loss is estimated
al 100000, on which, unfortunately, there was
no insurance. Before the fire had done burning
contract was made by the proprietors for re-
building-and they hold themselves in readi-
ness to fill the spring orders. The blowing de-
partment was uninjured, and it is still in full
operation.

This, it must be understood, is for the vacancy
occasioncd by the resignation of MIR. Webster,
and which is now filled by Mr.. Winthrop, by
appointment of the Governor The term will
expire on the 4th Of March next.
The House, it is supposed, will concur with
the Senate in elccting Mr.. Rantoul, the Free

so may induce the Democrats Of the House
who have, so far stood ont against "thc bargain,
