Equally Astonished.

In his New Haven reply, Pres, Buchan.
al thus expressed himself:
Slavery existed at that period, and still
exists, in Kansas, under the Constitution
of the United States. This point has
teen at last settled by the highest tribunal
known to our laws. LIow Il could ecer
hare been seriously doubted, is a mystery"
Henry Clay,who in bis day was thought
to have some political knowledge and men,
tai acumen, thus expressed an astonish-
ment which he felt on the 22d of July,
1850:
Il am aware that there are gentlemen
who maintain that, in uirtue oftte Consti-
tuition, the right to carry slaves south Of
that line (36 500 already exists, and that,
Of course, those who maintain that opin-
ion want no other security for the trans
po,tation of their slaves south Of that line
than the Constitution. FIhad not heard
that opinion aro,rcd, I should haze regard
ed 1t as one Of the most erhaordin0ry as.
sHmptions, and the most indetcnsiLle posi-.
tim that uds erer taken by man"
So it will be seen that these two emf.
ncnt statesmen encountered each a great
mystery in the examination of the same
subject. Mr.. Buchanan thought it mys-
tcry how any one could have doubted that
the Constitution carries slavery with it.
Mr. Clay, on the other hand, regarded that
doctrine as the most extraordinary assump-
tiOn he had ever heard, and the most in
defensiblc position ever taken by man.

GEORGETOWN CORRESPONDENCE

GsoRaETows, Feb. 90, 1857.
An ugly fracas occurred On Saturday night
in public house on market space, which re
suited in two of the parties being badly if not
fatally injured. 1t seems that two young men
named Hilleary and Walker were in the be =
fore mentioned house eating oysters when
another Individual, by the nane Of Grouse
came in and challenged Walker to fight Wal.
ker at first declined, but fpding that there
was no getting off prepared himself for The
worst Grouse Immediately drew knife and
made at him, when Walker, seeing hi danger
drew pistol and fired two shots at Grouse
one taking effect in the nose and the other in
the side. The firing Of the pistol drew into
the house large number Ct Crouse's friends
who bad accompanied him to the house, when
Walker fed, leaving Hi;Ieary behind Grouse
then assaulted HiIleary with the knife, in
hicting upon him several frightful wounds
While Hilleary was being thus assaulted. and
being down on the floor, Mr. Rufae, the keeper
Of the house, fearing he would be killed, seized
sword and rushed to his assistance, and in
making flourish for the purpose of releasing
HllleaTy he inflicted a wound On the back of
Grouse which it is thought will prove fatal.
At the time Of closing this letter the election

question, "Will Mr. - (the Know Nothing

following reply was received, Extremely
doubtful" The inquirer not feeling at ali
satisfied with this reply determined to press
the spirits little closer, and propounded
again the same question, "Will Mr.. - be

not at all probable We presume the spirits

since
fire occurred on Sunday morning about
o'clock in 3 frame stable situated on the north
eide Of West street, belonging to Mr. j Thos.
Davis The stable was entirely consumed,
but 6ne horse, carriage, harness &c which
were in il at the time were all saved. There
seems to be no doubt but it was the work Of
an incendiary. SPECTATOR.
