Senatorial District composed of the Counties OF
Tiogs, Elk, Potter, Mexican and Clesrfied,l re-
ported the bill to repeal certain sections OF the
anti-Kidnapping laws, with recommendation
that it be negatived.
Mr. MUHLENBERG of b Jerks moved that the Sen
ate proceed to the consideration of the bill upon
which motion the Yeas and Nays were demand
nd and the bill laid on the table by vote of Yeas
16, Nays II.
Tn the House of Representatives similar effort
il being made, the Committee on the judiciary
having reported, as committed, the Act read IN
Mace by Gen BRISpLE of Lycoming. This will
give YOU some idea of the simultaneous effort to
push these bills through the Legislature although
am sanguine the bill Of which the following is
copy can never pass both Houses

The Capitol a! MONDAY. The DAILY american
published at this place during the Session, and
said TO be the organ OF Gov Johnston, evlnces It's
delight at the quietness which characterized the
whole proceedings, by chronicng this as the tnird
or fourth case which has occurred under the Ea'
gitiye Slave Law, and the fugitive delivered
without creating the slightest disturbance
THESE facts" says the American, " are hlgnly IL
lstratiye of the law abiding character OF our peo'
ple and shows their devotion to the Constitution
and laws of the Union predomnates over every
other feeling" His Excellency will have to re-
pudiste the popular idea OF the new Daily being
his organ, else the public will be disposed to
doubt his consistency
Mr.. KILLINGER of Lebanon called up the Joint
Resolutions introduced by MIR. Dobbns relative to
the Tariff. Considerable tiutter was made by the
unterrihed on this very important subject, involv-
ing alike their fealty to party and an otTbetrayed
constituency An effort was made to choke the
subject off, bat this was met by PeremPtory call
of the Yeas and Nays for the consideration of the
Resolves. The vote on this call stood as follows:
