United States we have practised the reverse

ana intelligence OF the people In Great Britain, the
population, including that of Ireland and Of the Br
lish seas, according to the census of 1851, was
twenty -seven millions, while the number of land
holders was but about thirty thousand. According
to our last census, in 1850 the free white population
oi the states and Territories about nineteen
millions while the number OF landholders, the own
ers OF iarps was one million four hundred and forty
eight thousand; add to this the number of free
holders, and the aggregate will be increased to
two million three hundred and seventy nine thou
sand. Let this bill bc passed and the number will
be further increased and at the same time the
OF the country strengthened Love of country and
land has universal association; 1t existed III the
nrlntlve state OF society. New acquisitions
enable the possessors to discharge fully the
duties OF life; contributing to the support Of the
Government in time Of peace, and nerving his arm
III the hour OF battle.
The gentleman further continued his argument,
and said, towards the conclusion of his remarks,
that the American Government is the great pio
neer in the cause of freedom Her republican
| principles and unexampled success have elevated
the nation as beacon light to every continent and
star OF hope to every people. AT the close of the
Revolution our population was three millions;
have now twenty three millions. There were at
that time only thirteen States; now there are thir
ty-one States, with territory enough for fifty more.
All that is now wanting to develop great
| sources, and fulfil our destiny, is population com
lnensurate with the fertility of the soil and the ex
tent of our territory.

"a crisis Is approaching that must, if it cannot
be arrested soon decide whether order and good
government shall be preserved, or anarchy and
confusion cnaue can most religiousy aver
have no wish that is incompatible with the dig
nifty, happiness and true interest Of the people OF
this country. My ardent desire is, and my aim
has been, as far as depended upon the Executive
Department, TO comply strictly with all our en-
gagements, foreign and domestic; but to keep the
United States free from political connex ions with
every other country, to see them independent
OF all and under the influence of none. In a word
want an american character, that the powers of
: Europe may be convinced we act for ourselves,
and not for others. This, in my Judgment is the
only way to be respected abroad and happy at
home; and not, by becoming the partisans OF Great
Britain or France, create dissensions disturb the
public tranquility, and destroy, perhaps forever,
the cement which binds the Union"

DESTRUCTIVE TORNADO.

A most destructive tornado passed over
a portion Of Wayne, Island Creek and Sa-
lem townships, in this county, on Thurs
day last, the LIST Of July. II was about
eighty rods wide in its course, tearing
down and uprooting nearly all the trees,
fences, &C., laying in its way. II passed
over the farm Of Mr.. James Porter, in Sa-
lem township. taking portion Of the roof
Of his dwelling house, blowing his stable
down to the loft, and destroying twenty OF
thirty fruit trees in his orchard. 1t passed
thence to Benjamin Rex's farm, in Island
Creek township, tearing the roof off his
barn and blowing down many Of his fruit
trees From thence it proceeded in the
direction Of the Two Ridge Meeting House,
tearing down timber. fences, &c., until il
crossed Long Run, when it abated in a
measure. II was the severest and most de.
structive tornado that has visited that sec
ton within the recollection Of the oldest in.
habitants. The loss to the farmers along
the tract Of country through which it swept
must be very heavy, as we have under.
stood that the crops, and especially the
wheat, have been seriously injured.

ARRIVAL OF THE ASIA.

New YORK, July Is.
The steamer Asia bringing Liverpool

ENGLAND.-A dreadful riot occurred at
Stockport on Wednesday night, between
the Protestants and Roman Catholics
Sixty persons were carried wounded to the
hospital, and one person was killed. Sew
eral houses were torn down, the Catholic
chapel was sacked, the organ and altar
furniture being burned. Nothing was left
standing but the bare walls Of the chapel.
The military were called out, and finally
succeeded in restoring peace. The town
is now occupied by the cavalry, it being
reported that Catholic mob from Man
chester and other towns intended to retail
late. The riot grew out Of ill-fseling en-
gendered by the Queens recent proclama.

FRANcE.-An extra Morning Chronicle
announces that during Thursday night IA
persons were arrested in detached house
in Rue Refine Blanche, Paris, and these
arrests were followed up by many more.
The affair at first was enveloped in mys.
terry, but it has since transpfed that these
conspirators were engaged in the construc-
ton of an Internal machine with which to
kill Louis Napoleon. The machine con-
tanned fourteen barrels, capable Of con-
tanning each about twenty bullets, and their
firing in wrong direction was matter
of impossibility.

GREAT FIRE AT MONTREAL.

The Montreal Herald of Saturday con-
tains several columns Of the particulars
of the confagration which occurred in
that city on the 9th and 9th inst. After
narrsting with much minuteness the pro-
gress of the fre-whioh broke out in
house on the east side of St. Lawrence
street. near the felds-ths Herald re-
marks:
As to the victims, they deserve the ut.
most compassion. The majority belong
to the laboring classes. The suferings Of
some of them, especially of the children,
must have been intense. Anxious to take
care Of their property, they resolutely sat
upon their goods, though without the slight
est shelter, with the sun beating directly
upon them, in many cases with little to
eat, and perhaps oftener in great straits to
procure water. Fortunately the night was
so fine as to make moonlight bivouac
by no means serious hardship.
We have heard of several cases of coup
de soleil caused by exhausting labor in
the heat; but of no fatal case. There
were also some births in the fields on this
memorable occasion. We have not yet
made up The lists which we are about to
print below, but at a rough calculation we
suppose there may have been fourteen
hundred houses burnt, which, at seven in
habitants to each house, would give near
ly 10000 without houses; the probability
is, however, judging from the census re-.
turns, that as many as $4,000 must have
bivouacked in the open air. We cannot
refrain from bearing testimony to the
cheerfulness with which the poor people
bore their misfortunes. The writer walk
ed some miles through heaps of furniture
piled on each side Of the street, between
midnight and four o'clock in the morning,
and conversing with many Of the people,
he found nothing like complaint or de-
spondency.
