Tho fSsolution was further ably discussed By
Mr.. Perkins, who claimed that Congress had the
right TO legisate tho subject Of Slavagy In $he
Territories, TO abolish Slavery in the District Of
Columbia and relieve itself of the burden. He
was followed by Mr.. Babbitt, in opposition, when,
on motion of Mr.. Nuting, the resolution was
unanimously adopted.
The second resolution was adopted without dis
cusson.
The third resolution drew out two parties, who
manfully contended for their positions. Messrs.
North, Day, Ames, Bradley, Bigelow, Fletcher,
Nutting and Lane, of Anoka, advocated the pas
sage of the resolution, oontending that the Fugi-
tive Slave Law was unconstitutional, and that
Congress had no right to legislate on the subject
of Slavery, either in the States or the Terrific.
ries. 1t was opposed by Mcssrs. Marshall, Bris-
toll, and Murdoch, of st. Paul, who commended
that Congress had right to certain extent
that Congress had legislated on the subject in the
time Of George Washington, and had right te
do so again. For the purpose Of reconciling the
feelings of the Convention, Mr.. Marshall submit
ted substitute.
The substitute failing to calm the angry waves
Mr.. Bristol, of st. Paul, offered another which
was accepted, but upon which arose another dis
cussion. Mr.. Ames, of the Republican, finall.
introduced the following substitute, which wa
adopted
Resolved, That tho Fugitive Slave Act OF 1851
is unconstitutional in its character, oppressive ant
unjust in its operations, and dangerous to the do
nestle tranquility and ought therefore to be re
pealed. .;.r ....-.-
After the introduction of resolution by MIR
Amvs, and the appointment of a Committee t.
nominate ofisers in the fall, the Convention nd
ourned to meet in the evening, to listen to speech
es from Mr.. Hanson, Bristol and others.

THE CZARS DEATH CONFIRMED. q
A Dispatch dated New York, March 18th, states
that dispatches from Europe have been received,
confirming the death Of the Car. The same
dispatches, announce That many villages about
Eupatoria are in Aames-that immense prepare
tions a-e making for an assault on Scbastopol--
that Spain is disposed to settle difficulties with
the U. s., and that Russia proposes to cede her
possessions in North America to the U. 5. Tor
thirty millions of dollars.
cxF The Minnesotian, as is its usual custom
when driven in corner, now turns and makes q
new issue. 1t states that we deny sc that the two
elective branches of the Legislative Assembly had
any right to memorabilia Congress upon certain
matter, without asking permission Of the Govern
or.'' We deny no such thing. We stated that it
could not be a legitimate memorial without the
signature of the Governor, and if it could, then
bills could be laws without the signature of the
Governor. The people have Il right to memorial
ize Congress, but it is not strictly a memorial
without passing in legitimate way. 1t is useless
for US to handy words with the Minnesotan On
matter which is SO sclf-evidcnt. .s s.. 81.
CALIFONNIA.-GREAT FINANCIAL PANIC.
\ late arrival from California states that five
banks had suspended payment at San Francisco.
They are, Messrs. Page Bacon, Adams & Co.,
Wells, Fargo & Co., Robinson & Co., and Wright's
Miners Deposits. The excitement was intense.
Adams & Co. closed all their branches without
paying dollar except in San Froncisco, where on
the ODD they stood a run of 100000.
1t was thought that Page, Bacon Co., and
Adams & Co., would resume in few days.
Heavy failures had taken place. No election of
U. S. Senator. Convention adjourned sine die.
We add the following items =
The news from Kerr River is of an exciting
character. The miners are said to average from
ten to twenty dollars per day.
Steamers for San Pedro, the nearest point Of
Decentralization for miners, were going crowded
with passengers.
On the 18th, the st. Charles Hotel and TIillman's
Hotel in San Francisco were destroyed by fire
Loss $4,000.

New HAMPSHIRE ELEcrroN.-The Daily Amer
lean published at Manchester, N. Il. says:
We are almost able to-day to give the vote of
almost the entire state. Only few towns are
absent from our list of gubernatorial votes, and
our list of representatives is very full. So far
there are 24S members elected to the Legislature.
OF these but 81 are Administration while the 9TH
er lS9 are Americans with very few exceptions.
Later returns render it not improbable that we
have carried every Senatorial district even num-
Der IL.
We have no returns from the Congressional
districts but it is certain that Pike is elected in
No. by nearly $50 majority Tappan in No. 2,
BY more than 500 majority; and Cragn in No.
BY nearly 5000 majority. Ia
The Councillors are without doubt all elected
BY the people.
We stated yesterday that Metcalf's majority
must reach at least 200. It is not so large, be-
ing about 5000. aa
Lyford's vote is much larger than Metcalfs ow-
ing to the fact that his name was upon the whig
and freesoil tickets. ~ PEI 80

The Bounty Land Grant-Its amount Exaggerated.
From the Washington Cor. of the Baltimore Sun, March
The land bounty bill turns out to be mere
bagatelle--a trifing grant of twenty four millions
of acres instead of two hundred millions, rs had
been estimated. The warrants, being assignable,
will command about seventy five dollars for
hundred and sixty acres.
The spectators, who arc the real bcnefciarics
of the bill, will engross them at that price, and
sell them at small discount from the government
price. The old soldiers will receive under the
bill the sum of twelve millions of dollars--less
the twelve per cent paid to agents, attorneys, &c,
would have been much better, in financial point
of view, for Congress to pay the old soldiers and
agents, in cash, out of the treasury.
