Mn. CurrENDEN's IlEsoLUToSs.-I important
Acsion Of The Seaats.-In the Senate, on We'd
uesday last, the resolutions Of Mr Crittenden,
of Kentucky, for compromising the slavery
territorial question by the adoption Of the
line of 36 90 were amended in an important
particular, by making them apply not only to
territory now held but also that which may
be hereafter acquired This was done by
vote Of 20 10 2f-the Affirmative volcs being
all anti-republicun, with the exception Of Mr..
Baker. of Oregon. Subsequently! however,
the resolutions offered by Mr.. Clark, republic
can Of New Hampshire, were adopted as
substitute for Mr. Crittenden's resolutions by
vote Of Is to %. These resolutions take the
ground that no amendments Of the constitu-
ton are needed, or concessions to particular
interests and repel the idea Of constructing a
new confcdcracy, and declare for strenuous
efforts to preserve the public property, enforce
the laws. &c. The whole Is votes for these
resolutions were from the republican side, Mr.
Baker being included therein, though he had
lust voted for the slave line proposition. On
the other hand, Mr.. Latham, Of California,
who voted against the slave liae amendment,
was now with the yeas on Mr.. Clark sresolu-
tions. There were not voting on these last,
several Southern Senators, TO wit lyerson, Of
Georgia, Slidell, Of Louisiana, Wigfall and
HemphiH Of Texas, and Mason, Of Virginia.
Mr.. Douglas, Of Illinois, did not vote On Mr..
Clark's resolutions either. The above result
would seem TO settle the fate of Mr. Critten-
den's compromise measure.

From the London Times, Feb. 90
Fall of lhe Crystal Palace

During all Thursday the wind blew over tn
hills at Norwood with extraordinary fierceness
full against the front of the Palace facing TO-
wards London. That it was more violent here
than in other suburban districts, is evidenced
by the broken branches of trees, the pangs
and even garden walls blown down in the neigh
borhood. But although the pressure of the gale
upon the whole surface of the Palace must have
amounted in the aggregate to several thousand
tons, not the smallest perceptibe effect was
produced and not single pane of glass wa,
broken. All stood well till about half past sew
en- o'clock on Thursday night, when, during
one OF the fearful gusts which then swept ovel
the hill, some men in the carpenters room heard
little crashing of glass and iron, and immed
ately ran out to the terrace garden.
In another minute, with an appalling crash
the huge tower fell over among the trees, anc
lay smashed into millions Of fragments on tn,
ground. In the course OF two or three minute,
more, the rest of the wing went, by 80 or Al
feet at a time, till total length of about III
yards strewed the ground, mere mass of spin
tiers of glass, wood and iron Anything more
complete than the destruction it would be diff
cult to imagine. The appearance of the ruiz
rather suggests that the building has been bro,
Zen into small pieces, than that it has beer
merely blown down. A tremendous explosion
could not pfoDaDly nave shattered the place
more effectually. The wood work is all in small
pieces, the cast iron columns are broken up like
glass, and the rods twisted and torn in every
shape. Fortunately, there was nothing in this
wing but the empty pens used in the late poul
try show, and number of garden seeds al
these, of course, are more or less destroyed
The cost of rebuilding the north wing. it i.
stated, would not amount to more than &c ,0OC
but ms lately it was never used for anything
but the poultry shows, which can just as vel
be held in the south wing

It is said that the President has We toed the
act recently passed by the Congress to suppress
the African Slave Trade. The grounds Of the
veto are not as yet known, but IL is certainly
unfortunate that there should be a difference
between Congress aud the Executive ON such a
subject. Slavery is the immediate cause Of the
existence Of the Confederacy. That that differ
ence should arise concerning it in its counsels,
il very much to be dcpIored
That Congress expected no such thing is ev-
ident from the fact that it removed the i june
tiou Of secresy and published the act to the
world, This not is modification of the laws
Of the United States upon the subject, which
were adopted with all the other laws of the
United States, by the Congress of the Confed-
crate States. The laws Of the United States
make the importation Of African slaves piracy
This act Furnishes it as high mi-demeanor
10 veto the latter is to keep in force the former.
Can this be the object Of the veto?
IL IS exactly a month since the Provisional
Government to the so-called Confederate States
got into operation They have been steaming
away at full speed ever since; have already
adopted Constitution, elected Prosdent,aud
passed batch OF the practical laws necessary
to keep the wheels Of Government going But
with the first wide variation from the Constitu-
ton which they repudiated at Washington TO
Ie-adopt at Montgomery, the Comfcdelacy runs
aground.
President Davis has vetoed the act recently
passed by the Provisional Congress TO suppress
the African slave trade, and which define it a
mlsdemeanor instead of piracy; under which
definition, as being an adopted law of the Uni
tea States, Mir Davis veto leaves it. Nothing
could so conspicuously show the utter folly o.
attempting to make Slavery the basis and foun
cation stone OF a nations existence. The at
tempt to nahonaiize local institution has beer
the cause OF all our troubles but here is an A.
Tempt TO create nation for the very sake of ,
IocaI ihslltuuon and upon the very first &C
which concerns it the Legislature and the Eve

This bill has finally passed both Houses Of
the Legislature aud is likely TO become law.
We have hitherto said little of this bill. Our
senior At Madison, has frequently in his letters
expressed his condemnation of the bill rs a
measure that was likely to defeat its own OBJ
Iec' through an over-anxiety to shield a certain
class OF men from the consequences of their own
deliberate action. The bill seems to be consid-
cred unconstitutional in more ways than one,
and, it strikes us, must be 50 decided by the
courts
We have always felt strong sympathy for
those who have been induced to mortgage their
farms in aid of Railroads. We know that viii lie
few were induced to do this by the hope and
expectation of large gains, by far the greater
number Of the mortgagors were moved more by
a generous public spirit, than any other feeling.
1 hey could see the advantage ofthese improve
ments to the State at large, in opening up its
resources, bringing the products of distant in
! land regions 10 a market, and thus inducing
Immigration and stimulating the growth of the
State IN wealth, population and prosperity. All
THE was shown up to them in vivid colors, and
a worthy State pride was thus made an active
agent in inducing men to mortgage their farms
and lend their credit in aid of Railroad enter
prises.
| Under such circumstances it has always
seemed to us that the State should do some
thing to relieve the Farm Mortgagors, but not
TO ruin the innocent holders of these mortga-
ges who have paid their money out on the
strength Of them. The State has been bene-
fitted, and the State should now come to the as
distance Of those who have furnished the means
| Tor these improvements. There is no reason
! why the innocent holders of these securities
should he made to suffer all the loss any more
than the farmers who gave the mortgages II
there is no other means OF aiding the mortga-
gors than at the expense of the Innocent hold
ers we think the State should let the matter
alone. The mortgagors can compromise with
tile holders and thus divide tie loss between
them, much more just and humane plan than
compelling enc party to lose it all by extra iu-
dic.al legislation.
At the present writing the Governor has not
signed The bill, and thore is Il rumor that he
is going TO vetoit. We hope for the honor and
credit of he State that he will do so.
