A Democratic Free-SoiLer.

Mr. Cleveland, formerly the Democratic Gov
ernor of Connecticut, and now member of Con-
gress frorn the same State, delivered speech in
the House of Representatives on Thursday last,
which must have proved any thing but agreeable
to his Southern Democratic allies This speech
has not yet appeared in print, but its drift may be
understood from the following remarks of the Re-
public
Governor Cleveland, of Connecticut delivered speech
yesterday in the House of Repre- sentaves Jim Committee
of the Whole, in reply to his colleague, Mr.. Ingersol-
He presented the Freeso view ofthe Democratic con-
nexion, and rated his young friend who had just return
ed from Europe for msrepresentng the position OF him
selfand Mr. Rantoul and the Northern Democracy. Mr.
Preston King, and the gentlemen who controlled the
ton of the Democratic caucus looked on and listened
and laughed with the utmost compiacency, while Govern
Cleveland demonstrated that the COMPROMISE was al
together Wing measure, for which Mr. Clay, MIR. Web
ster Mr. Fillmore and General Scott alone respon
sbe and with which the Democracy proper had nothing
to do.
We think that it has neverhappened to listen to
speech quite SO and annered this of Govern
Cleveland HE personalities in the last degree
unjustifabe and ungenteranly His language was OF
that which wounds and Tritates without the re-
possibility of answering auy good purpose 1t was
addressed to the people of the South if by person
commissioned alraign the vices OF men fallen from
grace and who are inevitably destined to considerably
place in the world than reserved for Govern
Cleveland and the Freesoers 1t assumed that slave
holders generally only fit for regions not to be
to "ears polite and that Mr. Fillmore, and men who
have regard to their constitutional obligations on the sub
iect of slavery miserable "doughaces' who do VIC
lence their feeling and the sentiment OF their sec
ton
The tone and temper of Governor Clevelands speech
were arrogant, bitter, and uncompromising.
Governor Cleveland is one Of the men who
voted down Major Folks resolution, approving the
Compromise in the Democratic Congressional
caucus. and will take his seat in the National
Democratic Convention, along side of the South
ern Rights Democracy, of Georgia and Virginia.

California and the Compromise.

The Democratic State Convention of Califor

respect to the slavery djustment. The Washing

claimed the Compromise Democratic measure

Democracy alone can be relied on to preserve It,
When the Virginia Democracy failed to endorse

MURDERS AND oUTRAGEs ON THE STRAITS OF
MAGELLAN.-Seizure Of VesseIs.-We stated
some time since that the convicts at the CHILEAN
colony, at Port Bulness, on the Straits of Magel-
Ian, had mutinied and commenced general mas
sacre and piage. Itappears that the Governor,
Munoz Camera, and priest and several others
escaped with their lives, but were compelled by
want and hunger to return, when the governor
was seized and fire built toburn him to- death He
begged, however, to be shot rather than endure
such horrible DEATH which was granted; but af-
ter shooting him his body was burned, while the
murderers danced and sung the national hymn
around the fire. The American barque Florida
was also seized by them, and her owner, Mr..
Shaw, of New Orleans, shot on the spot; her
captain being spared in order that he might navi-
gate the vessel. The Eliza Cornish, British
vessel was pillaged of$10 10000, and Captain Tai
bolt, the mate, and the owners son, massacred
About twenty other persons were murdered: but
subsequently, the mutineers, in attempting to es-
cape in one of the vessels were captured by two
British war steamers. The United States fri
gate Raritan. on hearing of the massacre, imme-
diately sailed from Calalo for Talcahuano where
she was at the latest accounts.

Commodore Stockton.

The declaration in favor of protective Tariff
and eulosy Cd ancient Federalism by Democratic
candidate for the Presidency, have overwhelmed
our Democratic contemporaries with unutterable
amazement. The Enquirer can hardly be induced
to believe that Senator Stockton has really made
such speech as is attributed to him. 1t hopes that
there is some mistake about the matter, but upon
the supposition that it is all too true, 1t surmses
that coalition has been formed between Mr..
Webster and Commodore Stockton The South
Side Democrat repudiates the idea of a coalition
as inconsistent with the lofty eharacter OF the gal
liant Commodore, and proceeds to explain the per-
picking phenomenon after the following phiosophi-
cal fashion:
at is our solemn conviction, that the "Paladin
of the Seas" was incontinently .'tight >" when he
played the fool beautifully. The Legislature
of New Jersey rejected the Maine law, and the
God like festive occasions, usually an
example of deep indulgence. The Commodore
was doubtless betrayed into excess by the force
/ of the great 'Expounders example, No sane
and sober man could have uttered such nonsense
as is contained in Stocktons' Trenton speech"

General Assembly of Virginia.
THURSDAY, April 1, 1852.

SENATE.
The bill in relation to bail in certain cases, came
up the unfinished business.
The Committee of Courts of Justice reported
a substitute for the House bill, and the question
was to strike out all of the substitute except the
first section.
Mr.. SHEFFEY offered an amendment to the sub
stitute, which would cause the discharge of de-
tendant now held in custody under existing laws.
Carried.
The bill was further amended on motion of Mr..
BRENT, who then Withdrew the amedment first
offered to the substitute.
Other amendments were adopted, and the bill
passed.
On motion of MIR. THOMAS, the Senate resolved
itself into Committee of the Whoe-Mr. MASON
in the Chair-and resumed the consideration OF
the bill concerning Commissioners of the Reve-
nue..
Mr.. SHcKELFoRD moved to strike from the bill
the following clause:
1.-THE head of each family shall be entitled to
hold, exempt from taxation, neat cattle, hogs and
sheep of the aggregate value of one hundred dol
lars, or, in lieu thereof, equal amount OF any
personal property not otherwise exempted from
taXation."
Mr.. SHAcKELFoRD sustained his amendment.
Mr.. STUART offered the following amendment
to the amendments:
Strike out, as above, and insert, s'the Commits
sioners of the Revenue shall not assess the prop
erty of any head of family whose whole person
al property, in the estimation of the Commission
ers, isnot worth more than $50"
Mr.. STUART addressed the committee in favor
Of his amendment.
Mr. AMBLER exhorted members to make this
proposition test question.
MIR. STovALL was i'll favor of making no altera-
| tions in the bill. Mr.. ST. who is Chairman of the
Finance Committee, produced statistics to show
that the constituents of the gentleman who had
spoken against this bill were exempted to grea-
ter degree than his own constituents, and there
was no foundation for the complaints which had
| been made.
Mr.. STUART would vote against stiking out
But, if the clause stricken out, he desired his
| amendment inserted.
The proposition to strike out was lost-ayes II,

On motion of Mr.. FLoURNoY, tho following
preamble and resolutions We're adopted:
Whereas, connection with the tide-water of
Virginia and the Ohio river at Louisville, Ky, is
of importance to the Commonwealth, and where
as the cheapest, shortest, and most practicable
route is to be desired to effect this great and ipor
tant object, and whereas railroad is now in pro-
gress of construction from Louisville to Cumber-
land Gap Turnpike, therefore
Resolved, That the Committee on Roads, &c.

! ginia and Tennessee Railroad Company to con-
struct a branch of the said road from Abingdon to

cable route, passing through the counties of Rus

the State to the said work be three-ffths.
By Mr.. STEvENs-That a special Committee
be appointed to enquire into the expediency of

General Assembly is now in the habit of incorpo-
rating by special enactments.
| By Mr.. TALIAFERRo-Tha the Committee of
Courts enquire into the expediency ofreportng a
bill to prohibit the execution of the sentence of
death in public.
| THE MILITIA.
The discussion on this bill was renewed; and
after much time spent therein, the House struck
out the clause providing for Communication on
Militia men, on the ground that it was in accor-
dance with the Constitution, which only allows
one captation tax A proposition was offered to
give one half Of the one moiety of the captatior
| tax, prescribed by the Constitution military
fund; also another proposition to appropriate an
nually the sum of $500 direct from the Treasu-
ry-all of which were severally voted down. Be-
