Il Suggestion.-The Director of the Uni
ted States Mint suggests a return to smaller
gold pices. which of late years have been
almost wholly superseded by the double
eagles. or $40 pieces, paid out to depositors.
is seelns to think that this will tend TO
force the more general circulation Of gold
into common currency,sto to take the place
u small bank notes. He points. to tile
fact that England, France, and Germany
employ very little gold above the denomi
nation Of our half eagles, or IS pieces
Most Of their circulation is below ihis piece
in value.

Spontaneous Combustion.-Benson Blake,
Esq, informed us yesterday, says the Vicks-
burg Wing of the 26Lh, that fire bursted
out of the centre of a pile Of cotton seed
that lay by the side of his Clubhouse, on
his plantation on tho Yazoo river, few
days since. Tie cotton seed had been ex-
posed to the weather all winter, and lie had
commenced hauling it away, when the fire
broke out of the centre of the pile. After
it was extingushed, on examination it was
found charred to considerable depth, and
bore the appearance Of having been smoth-
cred in for sometime. Mr.. Blake assures
us there can be no doubt of the fire origi-
mating from the heat of the seed. No
doubt this is the cause of many gins bur-
ming down, and wo would advise all who
have piles of cotton seed lying about their
gins TO haul it out forthwith.

Think seriously Of It, Mark first the wrong
then the way in which this unparalled atrocity-
the outrage upon Sumnei-hds been applouded
aud rewarded in all thcSouth its author ieasted,
letel and made the recipient Of lavish favours and
c0ngratulutory addresses Southern women meet
wives for such men, applaud the decd, Governors
Of States applaud it.. Then turn to the North and
mark how with the exception Of three men--Wil.
son, Wade and Foster--every Senator every Rep
reseu,atiyc, has covered before these Lullies The
President-thc moanest ruflian Of them all--has
uttered no word Of sympathy, has not even gone
through the iormahty Of an inquiry as to the health
Of tho wounded man, and that q Senator. The
two Houses have exhibited on this occasion a spec
taclc of cowardice, brutality and meanness which
must make the blood Of every man at the North
tingle in his veins. Not one manly word has
escaI ed Seward or llale they have been as dumb
as the South could have demanded | think Mr..
Seward especially deserves the condemnation of
every Northern man: but that were little to what
he must feel in his own heart for having let slip
one OF the most glorious opportunities to speak
that ever offered itself to any man any occasion!
An opportunity to speak words'that would have
made the wide world ring again2 Oh Godl which
Of US, dumb and private men, unable to spcal,
iitly, if once allowed, but has prayed for such a
chance as Seward threw away!
Webb, also, had an opportunity TO speak brave
trron--wth plain, blunt speech fit for a man 20
use, stripping bare all the Iaseness Of him and
his pecrs-but he lorebore. Advised of what
was expected of him, he tamcly bowed his head
to the yoke and wrote long cireumspeet letter,
allnding to this fellow only in the most distant
manner, and q fit reward Cor his servility sits
silent under the rebuke Of his appreciation. Ap.
proved by Brooks. Approved by the SOUTH What
unspeakable degradation.
But waste words, In this fearful crisis one
hope is left us, the hope that the people of the
North will see the jeopardy in which they stand,
and will look Disunion calmly in the face. Let
those Of us who feel this wrong throw away these
miserable party divisions. and, lifting up our ewes
to that Heaven where Liberty, the daughter of
God, stands forever by her Fathers throne, strike
in her name, and but one blow.

The Senate ard House of Representatives Of
Pennsylvania, therefore, cannot but deprecate any
departure from the humane and enlightened poll
cy, pursued not only by the illustrous Congress,
but by their successors without exception. They
are persuaded that to open the fertile regions OF
the west to q seryile race would tend to increase
their numbers beyond all past example would
oren q new and steady market for the lawless ven
ders Of human flesh, and would render all schemes
for obliteraing this most foul blot upon the Amer
lean character useless and unavailing.
Under these convictions and in the full persua-
sion that upon this topic, there is but one opinion
in Pennsylvania.
Resolved by the Senate and House OF Repre-
sentatives of the Commonwealth of pennsylvania.
That the Senators of this State in the Congress OF
the United States be, and they hereby instruc-
ted to vote against the admission Of any territory
as State into the Union, unless such territory
shall stpulate and agree that "the further intro
duction OF slavery or involuntary serytude except
for the punishment of crimes whereof the party
shall have been duly convicted, shall 9e prohibited;
and that all children born within the said territory
after its admission into the Union State, shall
be free, but may be held to service until the age
of twenty-five years"
Resolved, That the Governor be, and is hereby
requested to cause a copy Of the foregoing pream
BILE and resolution to be transmitted to each OF the
Senators and Representatives. of this State in the
Congress of the United States.

KENTUCKY VIEW or SoUTu CARomYA.-The edi-
tor of the Louisville JourHal, George d. Prentice
writes thus in an article concerning the late out
rage in the Senate Chamber at Washington;
There were twice as many traitors in South
Carolina in the days Of the Revolution as in any
other State, in proportion to population, and we
think that her soil as general rule, grows worse
men now than it did then
"The shameful imbecility Of South Carolina
from slavery during the Revolution, and its more
shameful assumptions for slavery since, to say
nothing of its hordes of Tories during the Revou-
ton and ever since is clearly seen in the history
Of our country that it is surprising ANYBODY out Of
South Carolina should pronounce it libelous, or be
so shameless as to attack Sumner (by way Of ma
king a sneaking justification of Brooks for fling
ing the hard fact in the teeth Of the clustering
bullies who truly represent in Congress that pest
lent State, which, with absurd insolence and vani-
ity, claims to be the Smte-par ercelleace the Com
monwealth of the continent.
"The honors ascribed to South Clrolinans for
bravery in the Revolution by Webster, and the
common consent of mankind belonged not to the
Shareholders, but to the poor white trash so de-
