 DEATHS OF DIsrINGuIsHED MgcHANIcs-A number of persons distinguished for the material aid they have afforded to the rapid progress of the world have died within few weeks past 4hs funemi of tseorge steers of New York, the great American shipwright, who has said little, but done much toward improvement in Naval and Marine construction, was attended last Sabbath by a very large concourse, including the shipwrights in body and also the Masons, of which Order he was mem ber N.-J. Wyeth, of Boston, immortalized by his practical Improvements ip cutting and securing ice for Summer use, is another whose recent death may be alluded to in this connection. Paul Stillman, who for many years has had charge of the manufac- ture of steam guages and engine-indicators at the Novelty Iron Works of New York, and under whose these latter instruments have risen to such per- lection that the English cannot be named in con- parison, died on the llth of September. Jas Brem- mar, the English engineer, who got the steamer Great Britain afioat with such success in Dundrum Bay, and John Ross the venerable arctic navigator whose name figured by the side of vessels and ice bergs in our earliest geography lessons, are among the names of those lately deceased, brought by the late arrivals. .-Ersning Poa.

FEW days more, md Pennsglvania will speak through the ballot box. telling b the world whether she, the State that adopted Franklin. whose inter ests iE the rights of free labor l the advancement of science and the improvement of machinery, are greater than any other member of the Union, loves liberty or no. No one doubts mot even the Ad- ministrationists-but that her heart and her voice all for freedom and that with fair play, she will echo the voice of her distant sisters, who have nobIy led of in the battle. We tremble for her in this struggle we see her beset with domestic trai tors, hordes of hungry Southern politicians and reckless, lying slave extensionists backed by the Administrations money and power and though every sign of the day speaks of the certainty of her Republican vote we still tremble for her. Let her voice sound for Freedom and the field is ours.
 Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois will soon swell the glad pecan, rising like an exhalation heavenwards going up with shout-Iberty, Liberty, Fremont and victory! Fearful, o fearful, thou Keystone State, is thy responsibility to-day! Our advance guard have penetrated the enemys ranks They have spiked the guns of the Malako. To their aid to their aid!

FOR PRESIDENT, JOHN c. FREMONT. FOR VICE PRESIDENT, WILLIAM l.. DAYTON.

Tx our absence from the office. during the carly part of last week, several small errors in figures were overlooked, and we have also to acknowledge mistake in certain statements regarding the repre- sentation of slaves.
 The true idea of the article commencing with the number of Representatives sent to Con- gress from each State, was to show the return of property qualification in the South.
 The first glance upon that clause of the Corstitu- tion making five negroes equal to three white men, leads one to suppose that i've negroes represent ed by three votes-which is not in reality the case Now we are ever ready to make acknowledgement and yield all points upon conviction our only idea being to set before the people the plain facts, and then leave them to judge.for themselves. We there fore give the result of farther reflections on the above clause, viz
 That in consideration of 90, 900 giving one repre- sentative the blacks at the North count in the Congressional census than the blacks at the South This docs not however, alter the case of property If 15O 600 negroes worth s90 0000, it follows
 matter of course, that s90 600 worth of property, makes one representative-an therefore the matter of mans s moving to the Sonth, and investing his property in slaves and thereby making his property bear weight in representation, still holds good.
 The answer to this, that the removal of 90 GOO emgrants in any State, would entitle that State to another representative is answered by the entire mpossibility of such an event taking place. Where as slavery being chattels personal, can be concen- trated by capital and in sufficient numbers to effect the representation of the district.
 
 olina claimed that the labor of slave was as pro- ductive and valuable as that of freeman in Mas sachusetts and that ought to be counted against tine other. The North replied, :" Are the slaves to be admitted as citizens then why not the equal ity of citizens Are they to be admitted as prop. erty? then why not as other property, to be admit ted into computation?" North Carolina retorted that "the South would never confederate, unless their negroes could be countei and it was there fore agreed to by the North that in representation five negroes should be equal to three freemen. And thus property was entitled to cast its vote. This matter of representaonis is twaddle the part of the South What if the negroes do count less al the South than at the North, in making out the number of inhabitants which shall elect Congress man-are they any the less property and do moi many dollars worth of brutes, in the parlance o Southern language, cast a large weight into the scale of Congressional elections Certainly it does and in the broad matter of property qualification il makes no difference whether these brutes are but the portion of man, as at the South or in equal pro A Al.

Letter from Kansas,

The letter fom our correspondent at Lawrence. Kansas, published in the The Traveller of Saturday. stated that Mir. Buffum had been murdered by tho Mssourians in the vicinity of that town. The per son killed was Mr. David Buffum, son of Mir. Ei- ward Buffum of Salem. The Salem Register pub fishes letter received by the father under date of Lawrence, Sept r, from which we make the follow ing extract: -
 "It becomes my painful duty to inform you of the death of your David, which took place this morning at o'clock. The circumstances are, that yesterday morning, at o'clock, company of Dor der Rufians were passing his house, when some or l9 of them broke from the ranks pursued him in his corn-fed, and shot him, the ball taking effect fin the lower part of his bowels. After being shot, he made out to get in sight of my house and beckoa to my son, who, with one of my neighbors, went to him, and found him mortally wounded. He was taken to my house, and medical aid sent for, but all to purpose. He departed this life this morning, twenty-four hours after receiving his wound.
 !" He requested me, half an hour before his de- cease, to write to you, and say to you he felt willing to go for the cause of Freedom in Kansas. He re- 1 taned his sensss to the last moment requested me to act for him in regard to his business sell what could and send George home. I shall bury him to- morrow at o'clock, in the Lawrence Cemetery. and George shall be cared for by me and mine, until hear from you.
 "God only knows what is to Do the final result in Kansas. Could the people, of the North look in upon us in Kansas, and see how Democracy is ad- ministered to us, they would think it time to leave the United States, and claim protection from mos narchical government. "-Bosten 7,urtiier, S.7s 29

nld Opinions.

In Prince Georges County, Va, in June II1A, 1t was voted in a general meeting of the citizens, "That the African slave trade is injurious to the Colony, because it obstructs the population of 1t by freemcn prevents manufacturers and other use- full people from settling and occasions annual in- crease in the balance of trade against the Colony
 A similar meeting was held in Fairfax County. at which George Washington presided, when 1t was resolved That it is the opinion of the meeting, that during present difficulties and distresses no slaves ought to be imported into any of the British Colonies and in this connection. we take the op- portunity of declaring our most earnest wish to sec an entire stop put to such 6 wicked and unnatural trade"
 In the Constitution of Delaware. it says "Nc person hereafter imported from Africa, ought to be held in slavery, under aLy pretence whatever, and no Indian, negro or mulatto slave, ought to De brought into this State for sale. frrm any ars of the world '
 In l774, the Continental Congress unanimously resolved. i've for ourselves and the inhabitants of the several Colonies whom represent, firmly agree and associate under the sacred ties of virtue honor and love of country, that we will neither inn tssst or purchase any slaves.' &c. &c.
 In l775. the same Congress voted denial ''T That the Divine Author of existence intended part of the human race to hold an absolute property h. and unbounded power over others"
 In 177s, the Declaration of Independence was so worie as to show grand inconsistency in the com tinuing of slavery.
 The Congress of l7s7, with the exception Of . \ -.4x nance providing that slavery should be forever ex- cludcd from all territory northwest of the river Ohio. Delaware. Maryland, Virginia and Georgia willingly acceded to this though it sprung from no ground of compromise.

 Iwould like to know if Mir. Bishop paid the ex. pense of the three extra cars he sent the length of the road the other day, to carry the Democracy down to Bridgeport, to see the pole raised. The cars were roaring by here, without passenger in- side, and would like to ask who pays for the coa and the wear and tear of the road. if Mir Bishop n- tends to use' up the receipts of the road in such bankrupt expeditions I think the Stockholders had best at once look after their interests.
