Of the State College at that place, as will be seen
from the annexed paragraph, taken from the Tel

A WORTHY TRIBUrg-When it was known
on Tuesday morning that Mr. Clingman was in

committee TO wait on him, with their respects
and compliments, and solicit a visit to them al

Goodman, Chalmers and Melton, Immediately
discharged their duty. but Mr.. Clingman, al
though highly grati6ed Mt this compliment, was
compelled to decline the invitation, owing to biz

We find the following statement in the Phil
adeIphiA Ledger, after its appearance in one or
two other papers We can hardly believe the
law has passed both houses of the Ohio legisla-
ture, bat it may have passed the lower house.
If it has been adopted or shall be, the compro-
misers are committed for the second time. and it
viii be somewhat amusing to see how they will
perform. When Vermont null6ed, the Editor
Of the Union said If anolhsr State did SO, the
Union was gone What will the Virginia legis-
lature do We shall have to appoint COM
mittse Of the regular Southern ultras to hold the

Oalo FUGITIvE SLAVE AcT.--The Ohio le-
gislature, on the 22d of February, passed san
act securing the benefit of habeas corpus" "
which comes quite up to the Vermont act. u
makes It the duty Of the Attorney-General OF
the State, and the prosecuting attornies of the
counties
To protect and defend all persons arrested as
fugitive slaves, and to make immediate applica-
ton to specified courts and judges for the writ
of habeas corpus; such courts or judges to grant
the writ, and upon its return, to grant trial by
jury on all questions of fact at issue between
the parties, provided either party make appca-
ton for such trial If the verdict of the jury
thus called shall be in favor of the person
claimed as fugitive slave, he shall forthwith
be restored to his liberty; and if the claimant
shall again claim ownership in the slave, within
the State, he shall be deemed guilty of felony,
and, on conviction thereof, shall be imprisoned
in the penitentiary for not more than five, nor
less than two years.
Since writing the above, the Ohio papers come
to us with intelligence of the passage by the
lower house Of the legislature of the following
RESOLUTIONS RELATIVE TO THE FUGITIVE SLAVE
Resolped, BIZ the General Assembly of The
STATE Of Ohio, That our Senators in Congress
be instructed, and our Representatives re-
uuested, to use all honorable means to obtain
an immediate repeal, modification or amendment
of the act of Congress, usually styled the Fugi-
tive slave law, approved September l8, 1850.
Resolred, That the Governor Of the State OF
Ohio, be requested to forward each of our Sena-
tors and Representatives in Congress, copy Of
the above resolution.
The vote stood, 40 for, and 20 against the
adoption Of the resolution.
And teegrnphic despatch has been received
of the election of BENZ. F. WADE, to the United
States Senate. He is from Ashtabula county
the greatest free soil county Of the State, and
although we have no certain knowledge of hi
politics, except that he is said to be Wing, we
have little doubt that he is a free soler, since
it took the free soil vote in addition to the Wing
to elect him.

From JAMAIcA-DIGGING FOR PIRArEs TREA-

ston Cam) Morning Journal to the 2Sth ult.,
have been received. The cholera still pre-
vailing in many parts of the island; and in some
districts had broken out a second time with in
creased malignity
The following account of a search for the pi-
rates treasure is quite interesting the CaId-
wells landing speculation
In December last, an American schooner came
to Georgetown, Grand Cayamanas, and the cap
tain reported that the vessel was from New Or
leans with dispatches TO commercial house in
Kingston, and being short of water, he had called
in to get a supply. The schooner remained in
Georgetown six days, and then removed to an in
let, used shelter for vessels in bad weather.
Persons resident in Georgetown gave information
to the authorities there to the effect, that the
schooner had on board arms, ammunition, &c,
and that they strongly suspected the to be
buccaneers. The captain was thereupon ques-
toned to the correctness Of the report, but he
said he had only half dozen pistols on board and
the same number Of guns and swords such ex-
PLANTATION being deemed satisfactory, no search
was made.
The vessel remained in the cove until Christmas
about which time the captain communicated a Sc
cret to two persons, at the time swearing them not
to dyulge it. He said that he had come for the
purpose of digging up money at n certain place in
the island, to the amount of $500 900 in doub-
looms and other coins, that the captain was one Of
"Gibbs" (the notorious pirate chief men, that he
(he captain) and four others had some time ago
deposited this money at the spot alluded to, that
three Of his companions were dead, but that the
other This frend) was coming to meet him, and
that he had already taken his passage in another
vessel. He then inquired for a number Of large
trees which were standing at a particular place,
but he was told that hurricane had destroyed
them.
The circumstances being brought under the cog
nlzance of the magistrate, they had meeting TO
enquire into the affair. The next day after they
had met, the vessel departed, the captain saying
he going to seek for his friend, but that he
would soon be back and that IL on his return
they would not allow him to dig, they would force
them. The day following about 400 men and boys
went to dig with hoes, spades &c, but without
success. However, two men at Georgetown, who
were in possession of the "secret," but had not
assisted on the morning Of the 4th of February
went to work to see if they could discoves any
trace of the hidden treasure.
After they had dug for some time, they dscov-
cred three large stones, two lying edgeways and
the other on the top, marked, in large letters

Pecuniarv Patriotism.

The following extract from the Boston cor
respondence of the New York Express, will
show how the brethren of those two commercial
emporiums are falling out by the way" 1t
will be seen that the Bostonians are not par
ticularly pleased that the New York Unionists
should divest the Southern sheep of the greater
portion of their golden fleece, but demand their
share from the interested parties in New York, =
whom they charge with producing this result
as is no doubt the case.
When patriotism becomes mere calculation
of cupidity, and profit and loss are made the
levers by which to move the merchant princes to
make demonstrations which produce no prnc-
teal results, and the South is asked to accept
these shells for banquet, the state of "na-
tionality" at the North looks very squally. Hear
