a speech At Tamnany Hall on the 4th in

marked:
II come, fellow-citizens, from free State
like your own: I never owned or expected
to own a slave. But other men, better than
l am, and as good as any who are around
me, have conseientiously held slaves. 1t is
in vain to attack the motives of n whole

Slavery. That Slavery and Catholicism

The decree banishiug or interdictipg the return
of Messrs. Barron Al Forbes to Topic in virtue
of the petition TO that effect by residents of that
place has not vet been revoked. 1t is alleged that
the Governor of that State and the people OF Topic
proceeded from malicious motives IN this affair,
and without any foundation whatever for going so
far which may be the case, and strong measures
are being taken by this house TO bring the parties
who have accused the same to punishment, aud
the latter will of course make as strong an effort
TO Justify themselves. The Government has inter
feIed in respect to judicial proceeding touching
a part of this business, which is looked upon as
detpotic, namely: one of the signers of the pc
titiOn for Punishment came here, and legal pro-
ceedings instituted against him by the princi-
pal of the house, for defamation in signing that
document, but the President ordered the Judge to
suspend all proceedings against the accused stating
that il was q case for the Government TO decide,
and the Judge accordingly withheld himself from
il. This interference on the part of the Executive
with the judiciary power is held to be oppressive
and beyond precedent.

TERRIBLE AFFRAY IN THE SIXTH
WARD.
A MAN SHOT-SUPPOSED TO BE FATALLY
INJCRED-ARREST.

INJURED-ARkEST.
An aay occurred LAST evening ct No. al Elm stree<,
between Guido Fassula and Antonio Mondell ltai-
ians, who roomed together at that place, which re-
suited in the latter being shot in such fearful manner
that his life is despaired Of. From what could be as
certaineJ it would that the parties had qusrreeA
about their domestic affairs, aud resolved to separate
each taking ore half of the furniture in their apart
ments, which they had purchased together Before
separating however for the night, the alteration was
renewed, at which time beth had revovers IN their
possession, and by some means Mondel was shot
through the stomach-the ball lodging in his back
secord discharge of the pistol hurled ball through
the Accommodating him horribly. lie fell to the floor
Immediately, the blood flowing profusey from his
wounds and in a few moments he was almost nsen-
sible.
Can't Bowling of the Sixth Ward was soon on the
spot and conveyed the injured man to the New-fork
Hospital. Policeman Judge of the same District ar
rested Fsssua, who stands charged with shooting
his room mate. lie was taken to the lookup and de-
tanned for the night The prisoner says that the ps-
tol when fired off was in Mondels hands, and that
he, I1 in attempting TO discharge it, fired the con-
tents of two barrels into his own body by accident.
Whether this is so, remains to I've proved. From what
could be gathered from Mondell, il would appear that
the pistol was the hands of the prisoner at the ns
of its discharge.
Mondel was in such critical state late last night,
that Coroner Connery sent for to take his dying
declaration 1t is hardly possible for him to survive
DYING DEPOSITION.
Coroner Connery, on being notified of the affair, m-
medatey proceeded to the Hospital to take the dying
deposition of the wounded Captain Downing Of
the Sixth Ward with two or three of his officers wa
present with the prisoner. Through an interpreted
Monde made the following deposition;

FROM BUENOS AYRES.

BY the arrival at this port yesterday of the bark
j. T. Hodge, we are put in possession of adyices from
Buenos Ayres to March !. We are indebtedto Messrs
w. W. DeForest & Co. for files TO that date.
The news is not important, politically or commercial
". Tie British Packet says the aspect OF public
affairs still remains lowering. The dangers from the
Pampa Indians and the difficulties with the Argentine
Confederation seriously affect all interests, the disas
rous consequences being increased by the Jealouses
and chickering's constantly going on among the citizens
Of BuenOs Ayres.
The difficulties with the Argentine Confederation,
arising out Of the invasion Of the Territory OF Santa
Fe. have been aggravated by warlike proclamation
ron the Buenos Ayrean General Urquiza
Troops have been sent to punish Indian depreations
on the southern end western frontiers.
The following retrospect oi business, &c, for the
uonth Of February, is condensed from The British
Packet OF March !:
"Considering the state Of political excitement in
which we have been throughout the whole month, the
wcnder is that have anything deserving the name
Of commerce or business to think or talk about.

TIE NEIY MORMON STATE.

On the 18th Of January District Convention was
held at Covo in Beaver County, Utah, to take into
consideration the pIopriety of General Convention
some time during the Spring to form constitution
and plan of State Government for the Territory. Del
egates were present from several counties, OF
them having come one hundred and fifty miles. No
roof in the place large enough to shelter the
crowd and they met in grove near by. Col. W. III.
Dame presided.
The Hon. G.. A. Smith spoke strongly in favor Of
the proposed Convention. lie alluded to the immense
change which had been effected the condition of the
country since its colonization and said that Judge W.
W. Drummond estimated the population of the terri.
tory at lOc COO Nowhere else there to be found
a population who understood so well the principles of
self government, who made better laws, who were
so united in carrying them into execution. They glo
RED in the extent and power Of their country and they
admired an would sustain to the last its Constitution,
which was formedby the inspiration of God. Cres of
"Long live the Constitution
The Hon. Jesse n. Smith of Parowan City conceded
in the remarks of Mr. Smith, The estimate of popula-
ton he thought nearly correct. Their election returns
did not make very imposing appearance, but he
attributed this to the fact that their political arena
was always quiet and undisturbed by the squabbles
which agitate parties in other States.
Judge Lee, of Washington County, as one of the
pioneers of civilization in the Southern portion OF the
Territory, was deeply sensible of their present position
Many cases were continually arising from their inter-
course with the Savages which required the speedy
and effective ann of a State Government. They had
earned the right to make their own laws and choose
their own rulers.
sIessrs Philip r. Smith, 7. Lewis of Iron, w.
Bateman Of Cedar, C. w. DOton of Harmony j.
Hatch Of Santa Clara, Carlos Shirts of Hanarah,
James McGuflee of Parowan, Hon. J. c. Haight OF
Cedar and several citizens Of Beaver County adj
dressed the meeting to the same purpose. Resolutions
were passed approving the action of the Legislature in
passing acts preparatory to calling Constitutional
Convention, and delegates were appointed for the
Counties of Iron, Beaver and Washington to the Con
situtonal Convention
The following resolution will give some idea of the
estimation in which Federal officers held in Utah
ResoIred That We people, appreciate the inconven-
fences arising the appointment OF Federal officers by the
epere Government who generally have interest IN the
country and whose only is the fact Of their
haviIr performed some degrading political service party
ckery in other country and whose only anxiety to NIL

FROM KANSAS.

Extract of letter from physician now in Kan
sas to his mother and sister in this city:
owe need health and strength to battle with cir
cumstances that sickness and the Pro Slavery men Of
Missouri and that traitor to Humanity, Justice, and
Liberty, Frank Pierce, have placed US in; but for.
tunaely the hearts of those who come and are CON-
ing have within them the spirit of 76. And while the
men are wiling and ready to sacrifice their live:
rather than submit to the tyranny imposed upon them
by band of outlaws, and sanctioned by their accom-
plce, the women are not idle. Practcing at the
target and running bullets amusements in which
they delight and in the dark hour Of trial, Like the
women Of the Revolution, they will not be found
wanting.
81 saw a man yesterday who saw the Surveyor
General who says the Land Sale will take place in
June next, and preempoLs are included in that sale
He is a Pro-Savery map a son Of the late John L.
Calhoun The sale is probably fastened to subserye
the ends of spectators, ard WILL if done, cause the
loss Of three fourths Of the settlers claims. The
horrible Winter and Sickness with loss of crops, have
rendered them uDprepared to pay for their claims 80
soon God only knows what the future will bring
forth On that day every cent will be drawn
from Kansas to pay for land and hundreds of dollars
ost by the hardy settlers in improvements, which will
pass off into the hands of spectators, who will be a.
