Defea1 on HarrIsoa's servlity BIN.

We record with great pleasure that the bin
introduced BY Mr.. Harrison, nominal Republi-
ean--the first bill Of the sessiOn-entitled ITO
prevent the setting on foot Of military expedi-
tions in Ohio against the territories or people
Of any Of these United States, has been defeat
cd in the Senate by indefinite postpOnemsnt,
yeas Is, nays Is, as follows:
Ysas-Messrs BreOk, Brewer BOnar, Cox,
Collins, Cuppy Garfield, Glass, Laskey, Morse
Monroe, Parish, Potts, Potwin, Smith, Spraguer
Stanley, WslkeF-ls.
Nays-Messrs. Eason, Ferguson, Foster
Harrison, Holmes, Jones, Key, Mccall, Moore,
Newman, Orr, PeTrill, Ready, sehleich, White,
-l5.
Four nominal Republicans, Messrs, Harrison
of Madison, Jones Of Delaware, Moore Of Butt
ler, and Ready of Tusearawas, voted with the
Democrats They are the same Senators who
tried to ssave of the election of United Ststes
Senator, and then gave "aid and comfort" to the
LOcOfoeOs by refusing to vote for the Republi>
can caucus nominee. Fortunately they do not
hold the balance of power in joint convention
nor in the Senate. The postponed bill was no
doubt conooeted and thrust into the Senate the
first DAY Of the session as disturbing element,
with the hope of delaying and Influencing the
Senatorial election. Thanks to the Republican
majority for so promptly, decidedly, and salts
fhciorily dispOsing of both questions.
Mr.. Harrison's bill was warmly advocated by
its author, and by Mr.. Jones' and others, and
opposed by Messrs. Cox, Brewer, CupPy, Gar
field, Monroe, Parish, and Stanley. The Dem
Ocrats took little or no part in the debate, being
content to let the Republicans differ, and vote
with the nominals for the humiliation of Ohio.
Pending the discussion, Mr.. Brewer, of Coz
lumbiana, moved preamble to the bill, referring
to the John Brown raid and declaring that the
people of this State do condemn all such acts,
&c; and Mr.. Stanley moved a substitute for
the entire bill, proposing to alter the 9th and
9Th sections of the Riot act, and extend the
same protection to citizens Of other States that
the act does to the citizens of Ohio, authorizing
the Governor and other State officers to act in
the premises; but neither prevailed, and the bill
was very properly killed dead by indefinite
POStpOnement
Such law as proposed is entirely uncaIlsd
for and direct insult to the people of Ohio, and
glad are We to be assured that it would have
been killed outright by the Republicans of the
House, had the Harrison abortion retained Vi
tslity enough to reach the Speakers desk of the
popular branch.

New Ysrll Hard-sheIls IN Council.

The National Democrats of New York, elect
ed by Congressional Districts to the Charleston
Convention, held State Convention at Syra-
cuse on the 9Th, and appointed Fernando Wood,
John A. Greene, Jr., Gideon J. Tucker, and
Joshua BabcOck, Delegates at large to the Ma
tiOnal Convention; and VIM. c. Beardsley,
James 7. sOutter, John Haggerty, and Ben.
Chamberlain, AlternatsS. The speeches were
Southern enough for the South, sustained the
protection of slave property in the TerTitOrirs,
and declared the delegates, Congressional and
al large, to be untainted by Free SOilism and
Wilmot ProvisOism. Mayor Wood was chosen
Chairman of the Hard delegation.
The Buffalo Courier, Democrat, calls the
Syracuse Convention wooden Heads" and
says Fsnando's convention adjourned to meet
on board his private steamer, which is to eon~
vey him and his eOnfreres on pleasure eIcur-
sion to Charleston in April next"
There will be a nice broil under Southern
sun when New York Hards meet sOftS in the
scramble for seats.

why not Vote for Hint

The Buffalo Courier and Northern Demo-
cratic papers generally, are labOring might and
main to make their readers believe Speaker
Pennington is not and never was Republican
that he is a conservative old Wing, just the kind
of politicians Democracy now loves to consort
with and hug to its bosom. Admitted, and
the question arises, why did not Northern
Democrats vote for PenningtOnl They went
over in body to the Southern Wing and Know
Nothing, Mr.. Smith, of North Carolina, and
voted FOR an anti-democratic candidate formally
nominated and presented by the South American
party organization. Smith agreed with the
NOrthsrn Democrats on the slavery issues
Pennington with the Republicans. Therefore
the vote for the former and against the latter

WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE.
WAmINeroN. d. @. Feb. 6, 1860

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb s, 1850.
DEAR LEADER: The Overbsaring insOlenoe Of
slavery on the one hand, and the noble dignity
of freedom on the other, was never in my pres,
snce more pOintedly exhibited than at the
meeting between Senator Mason and Joshua
R, Giddings when the latter appeared before
the Senate Committee for the purpose of being
examined in reference to the Harper's Ferry
affair.
At the hour appointed, Mr.. Gidding', Dr..
Howe, of Boston, and R. Plumb, of oberlin,
repaired TO the Committee Room, where they
were soon joined by Senator COllamer, of Yer
mont
The New England Senator and Mr.. Giddings
had greeted each other most cordially aud were
engaged in pleasant conversation until Senator
Mason came sweeping down the passage with
Domposity Of manner that would have done
credit to the greatest dignitary Of any Eastern
despotism, indicating in every step thathe was
conscious of being not only "lord of the
lash" over his black bOndsmsn, but also over
all other men who might presume to have a
manhood Of their own.
Before him stood Joshua R. Giddings, a self
made mana man of and for the People-one
who had in that very Capitol served an enlight
ened, industrious, and freedOm-loVing cOnstit-
uency for more than twenty years, more years
of public service by half than the Virginia
Senator could boast. Under such circumstances,
in this Republican land, it was to be expected
that q recognition, though formal, should have
proceeded from the Chairman of the Committee,
but such was not the fact; not word or 9
motion more than would have been extended to
field hand upon his Virginia plantation, was
directed to the distinguished parsonage who was
before him.
1t was scene for the pencil of an artist
Freedom and Slavery stood face to face in the
persons Of two Representative men-the au.
thor of the Fugitive Slave Bill and the Old
War Horse of Freedom!
Never did the manly form of the noble Gid
dings appear to better advantage than as be-
held him then and there. His eye beamed
kindly yet firmly upon the Slaveocrat that stood
before him. He seemed by his look to com
prehend the man and the system that had
robbed him of his manners, and though wish
ing to be courteous, yet would not consent tC
yield one particle of the manly Independence
of true Republican sovereign ct the behest o.
this champion of the slave power.
They proceeded at length to business, but nc
recognition passed between the two dIstin
guished men who form the subject of this COM
munication. Q.

Adjourned session.

Mr.. RUKENBRoD, member of the House from
COlumbiana. writes to the Salem Republican
under date of the 4th, as follows. We trust his
conclusion in regard to an adjourned session
may prove correct. The measure is as unneees-
sary as it is impOlitic. Mr.. R. writes
On Thursday night, a caucus, according to
Appointment, was held IN the Hall of the House,
to consil Ter the question of adjourned session.
The matter was warmly discussed on both sides,
and if we were to Judge from the result, (Which,
although was rather indefinite and unsatisfae-
tory,) we should say there will be no adjourned
session. Notwithstanding many members claim
to see the importance Of it. themselves, yet
they consider they are instructed to 60 against
it, by their constituents, and go against it they
will, 'sink or swim, survive or perish" There
fore, unless the Democrats vote for it, it cannot
carry; and the Democrats IDiH 10 no such a thing,
for fear if a session be held next winter, the
Republicans will district the State, in which, of
course, they can see no advantage to themselves.

neIerntea for Chicnrn.

The call for the election of Delegates to the
National Republican Convention from Ohio is
now out. We entreat the Republicans of each
District to see well to the choice of their Dele
gates. A more important Convention has never
assembled in our country. Let the Republicans
new be prudent, and also frm-conciliatoTy in
minor matters, but very loyal to their great dis
tinctiVe Prineiples-and they may carry the
nominees of Chicago, and rescue our govern
ment from the clutches of the Slave Power
Let good men everywhere be elected as Dele,
gates-tried men-men of experience and dis
cernment-men who will consider the advance
ment Of Republican principles Of paramount
moment to the advancement of any individual
and whose good sense will not throw away
such States as Ohio, and New York, and New
England, for doubtful chances in Missouri and
Maryland. Let the people look well 10 the
choice of their DelegateS.-PainssUIls ls Press.
The above is fitly spoken. The Republicans
in this District, in this County, in this City,
should see to it that the primary meetings are
well attended, and that delegates are appointed
to the County and District Conventions who
will correctly and faithfully represent their
wishes in the appointment of delegates to both
the State and National Conventions. To carry
through the campaign right it ia important to
begin right. To neglect the primary meetings,
is resigning the Republican organization into
the hands of few, perchance artful and intrlgu
ing wirs-Workers, who have taxes to grind"
which the people would rather should remain
dull Turn out then to the primary meetings
in all the Townships and Wards, and give
full expression of your wishes by electing men
you know will carry them out in the selection
of delegates.

Amerlcnn sIaHer Captured.

Early in December the British war steamer

York, Capt. Morgan, on the coast of Africa,
with 1923 slaves on board, bound to Cuba
Disregarding her nationality. right Of search
&c, the steamer put prize crew on board,
aud took the Orion to st. Helena. On the pas.
sage l25 of the slaves died. At st. Helena
the SLAYER was surrendered to the U. s.
steamer Mystic, to be sent to port in the Uni
ted States for trial. The slaves were landed,
and would remain under the care of the U. s
Consul, until advised by the Commodore on the
station what further disposition to make Of
them.

trial in our Dred Scott Courts, will merely be
arraigned and set at liberty to pursue the traffic

punishment of slave dealing on the coast of

along the shores of the Chesapeake and prac
