Remarks of Dantol Webster, In the Senate of u»»y.August la* *«4s. and the upper pan communicate with | " Now I propose Sir to stato as briefly as I can the ground* upon which I proceeded— hintoricfvl npd constitutional, un 1 will endcayor tA vw «s few words as possible, so that I may relief® the Senate from hearing me at the earliest possible moment. In the first place to review the matter historically.This Constitution founded in 1787 and tho Government nader it, organised in 1789 do recognise the existence of Slavery in certain States then belonging to the Union; and a particular description of slavery—a peculiar system by which the person who is called a slave is trunsferablo as a chattel from band to hand. I speak of this as a fact, and I will say further that although slavery as a system of servitude attached to the earth exists in various countries of Europe. I am not at tho present moment aware of any place on the globe in whioh this property of *uun, D9 a human being, as a slavo, IrunufcrrjiHj; us p, chattel exists, cxcept in America. pressure of tho . od at tho timo the I have Haiti that I •ball consent to no extension of the area of Slavery upon this continent nor to any increase of slave representation in the other house of Congress. We of the North, have already gone in this respect far boyond all tliat any southern man could have cxpected or did expect at the time of the adoption of the Constitution. We have done that which if those who framed the Constitution had foreseen, thsy never would have agree! to slave representation. We have yielded thus far, and we have now in tho House of Representatives twenty persons voting upon this very qu&qtioq, ftp a upon ajl other questions who aro there only in virtue of tlio representation of Slaves. I rest, then, sir, on the»Q propositions. 1st. That when this Constitution was'adopted nobody looked for any new acquisition of territory to he formed into  SDtntes, 2J. 'That the principles of tho Constitution prohibited and were intended to prohibit and should lie construed to prohibit all interference of tho general Government, with Slavery as it existed and as it stijl exists in the States. 4nCJ then,looking to the operation of these U#w acquisitions which have in this groat degree had tho efl'eut of strengthening that interest in the South by the addition of these tive States, I feel that there is nothing injust in saying as I said the other day that ( have made up my mind for one that under no cirouinstaneos will I consent to the fdrther oxtension of the area of Slavery in the Unb teCl States, or to tho further increase of Slave Representation in the llouso of RopreseujtatiVOft.sol and regiateroc tube in which thi not to exceed in I inch, and tho cot to bo leaa than - ■DM«U VI tube must be grndu of inches upwards cury in the tubes placed into the . tube' will remain i». _ ,ri ,.«u position the brick work, and whore it wojM bp cany ol aocess at all times. The action orthis insrrriment would be as follows: When the air was heated in the vessel it would expand anc) force the mercury through tho longest lee of the tubo in a vertical direction—the number inches it had risen above its former Jftvel we'd denote the expansive force of the air in the vessel in pounds. To make this more clear, suppose the morcury had risen in the longer log of tlie tube the distance of fifteen incttef above its level where it stood at the time the instrument was placed in the air shaft, the mercury would have descended an equal distance id the shorter leg of the tube, tnus making a difference of thirty inches. Then as two inches of mercury weigh very nearly one pound, it may be stated that this thirty inches difference between the level of the mercury in the two tubes, indicates an expansive force of fiftoon pounds on each square inch of internal surface in the air vessel. We see that the rite of the mercury in the longest leg of the tube was only fifteen inches, hence we may conclude that when the merenry rises one inch in the longer leg of the tube, that it denotes an increase of pressure of one pound.— If the morcury was raised to fifteen inches as we have supposed, it would denote a pressure in the air vessel equal to two atmospheres. If such a pressure was denoted in practice, it would show that the air ascewjing the air shaft hod expanded into twice its original volume. The rate of expansion would be increased in direct proportion with the pressure. The variations of the pressure of the atmosphere from that registered on the instrument) would requiro to be added and deducted accord ing to and from tho prosxure denoted bj ♦he expansion in lhe air vessel.- ffV*. ftTAVB, (Uto of the UnlTemlty of jL/Dubllm, and the London Ho*piUl»,) r»- *p«ctfallr tendon bU proffe»*(on*l service* to «&• Inkfttttenttof Plttaton and rtelnlty.

When it was adopted the state of the country was this ; Slavery existed iu the Southern /states; there was a very large extent of Torritory-trthe whole northwestern territC r", which it was understood was destined to be tormed into States ; and it was then determined that no Slavery should exist in this territory. 1 gather now as a matter of inference from the kistory of the time and tho history of the debates that the prevailing Motives with the North for agreeing to this recognition of the existence of Slavery in the Southern States and giving a representation to those States formed founded in part upon their slaves, rested on the supposition that no acquisition of territory would be made to form new States on the Southern frontier of this country either by cession or conquest. No one looked to any acquisition of new territory on the Southern or Southwestern frontier. ENGINEERING AND SURVEYING.

ON VENTILATION. The reason why air "stoppings" and partition* are blown down, is, that the force of an explosion nevor acta on tins two - opposite sided of the stoppings ana partitions at the mune time. The force would be counteracted if it did so! When an explosion takes place, its force is divided and reflected by every surface it strikes against, whereby it is sometimes rendered vory fpable before it proceeds fur from the point lyber.e the explosion first originated. When it is of sufficient foreo to reach the sluft, tlio force is carried h#re by the principal entrance, and escape air-ways, and the two forcos which are divided in those air-ways never reach the shaft at the same instant Thaforqes cannot aot on the opposite •ido of the .stoppings'' which sbvt off the of those air-ways, heuc# the ftoppmgs partitions are blown down ail'J soiye of iifotm which resist the forcc in one are blown down in an opposite direction by the otlior. The reaction of the gases takes place when the force Is toward* the point of explosion. This often throw* down a* many as wb*n the forxw is  ly towards the point of explosion. But ifwe protect our partitioning walls against the forces from the explosion, we have no AOed'to fear the force of reaction. length of the partitioning wall ougl\t to tyo limited to fonr or five feet, iu order to hnv« jut little surface exposed as possible. The width might do at ono brick or four and a half inches thick.— This could be strengthened by timber in tho side of the wall next the principal shaft if it is thought necessary . Tho desired area of the chambcr could be obtained by shaping it ftfter an oblong square or by widening it on the back part, which wojila forjuj the figure of a trapezoid. This chamber or si/ shaft sjicli it wo'd jurnj after it was finished and partitioned off from the principal shaft) should be used exclusively for air, bccause it is objectio$aJlDlo to have pumps working in an air shaft, as is often the case, for the nir is cooled by coming into contact with thtD pumps, and the numerous drops of water, which leak from the joints of the pumps,fall down the jgroaVi ly impedes the asceuding current of air. If' any springs of water aro flowing from the fissures of tho rock composing the wall sidos of tho air shaft, they should bo boxed in by closing up thoso f shures, or thoy may lie conveyed into the principal shaft where the drainage pumps ought to be stationed. W1 ten a deep cool niino is in working order a«d the used as a ventilating power, and we wisUto know whether the furnace is working to tho best effect, or that we may see clearly tho causes why tho best or desired effect is not produced, we must have recourse to scientific instruments, the ohiof of which are the barometer, theriuometor, and anemometer, for a knowledge of the principals on whicji these instruments aro foundod, can refer to any work on Physics. The barometer is a siinplo instrument which indicates the pressure of tho atmosphere by the rise and fall of mcrcury in a glass tube. The variations of tho ipercury aro read off from a 'seal* to which the mercury tube ,is firmly fixed. When tho mcrcury in the tube lowers it is a sign that the pressure of the atmosphere is diminished, and when the mercury ris»s in tl)0 tube it dinotes an increaso of pressure. No danger attends an increase of atmosphoric pressure, but when the prcssuTO is decreased it indicates danger in all "fiery" coal mines, because the g*s is gptyirated in larger quantities. Tho gas in the "goaf," old works, and wherever it is collected, expands. When a part of it is forced into tho air-ways, it way thuB bp led to the workm?n,or to tho .furnace when it would cause an expfqpion.— The variations of the pressure of the atmosphere ought to be carefully watched by the officers in charge of a "fiery" coal mine.' The thermometer is an instrument used to denote the beat of bodies it as in contact with. DR. H. WENTZEL, Gmti Phtsioiav.

Laeoe, Odd Mlows' Building. The anemometer is an i#etrujn«nt used fc, indicate the veloeity of the air in the air shaft or air-ways. It expresses the velocity of the current of air in feet per second. The quantity of air in circulation may be obtained by multiplying tho volocity in feet per second by the sectional area in fopt of the air-way at tho point Where the instrument is tried, and the result will be the number of cubic feet per second ; this multiplied by sixty give* the amount of air in circulation per minute. Tho velocity could very simply bo obtained by firing a small quantity of powder in a drift or air-way uf n uniformity of area and noting th« time tho siqoke traveled through a given space. The manner in whioh tho force of .p current of air is obtained is by a class tube three or four inches in diameter, bent to the form of U. On tho upper ond of one of its legs it fitted a cap of the same diameter as the tube, and which turns in a horizontal position when the tube is in a vertical one. Water is then poured into the tube which naturally levels itself in each leg of the tube. When the oap is turned in a position to receive the current of air, the forcc of tho curront acta upon the Bur/aqo of the water, which is depressed in the leg of the tube on which' the cap is set, and clovatcd an equal distance in tho opposite leg, thus forming a difference of level in the two legs of tho tube. A paitvf the tube in which the water rises is graduated in inches and parts of inches. Reference to this shows tho ujjSproQqe of lovels in tho two legs of the tubei, 'foe pressure upon a square inch of surface may bo found by multiplying tho difference between the levels in the legs of the telji in in$h«s by one nqiuire inch of surface. Then again by .0358 (which is the weight of a cubic inoh of wator in decimals of a pound) which will give the amount of pressure on each square inch of surfuco. This multiplied . by 144 answers tho pressure on a square foot of surfoco. * Within ninety miles of the city, they were overtaken l.y a detachment of dragoons esuorting a Government official to the Goncral in command.

But our friends of the South say you of all our rights.

Is this true? How deprive them ? Of what deprive them f Why they say of the privilege of oarrrying their slaves as slaves into the new territories. Well sir, what is the amount of that? They say that in this way we deprive them of the opportunity of going into this acquired territory with their property. MASON, METEBT fc CO. Seranton, May 18, 18A5. NEW BAKERY & CONFECTIONARY CHAS.

I must say before 1 close that the difficulties will not be so great in tho working of those deep veins, or the lttflux of water will not be in such large quantities, as is generally predioted, because it cannot be interred, that if large quantities of water are met with in some of the deeper slopes working at present, the quantity jfiy be increased in proportion to the depth of tiie veins. Tho water pumped from slopes .may in most cases be traced to surface springs and runners from thojuir&tce and those springs are met with in most ail ooal fields, but are generally stopped out from tho shafts by catf iron segments, or two or three courses of masonry, round the shaft and jointed and plastered behind w ith hydraulic cement (the for Du of deep coal shafts aro all circular or at l#ast thoy ought to be).

It exists, only by local law—and wherever that local law does not oxtond, property in persons doe* not exist. Well sir, what is now the demand on the part of our Southern friends? They wiy we will carry our local laws with us wherever we go. We insist to go our own looal law." This demand I for one resist and shall resist. It goes ppon the idea that there is an inequality antees persons updpr thitf lyoal |pw and folding property by authority of that law can go in,to new ternary ana there establish thjit law to tho exclusion of the genenri law! The question now is whether it is not,competent to Congress in the exorcise pf a fair and just disorsWiqn oonsi4pring that thoie have been five slave-h'uldiug states added to this Union out of foreign acquisitions, to prevent their further Increase.
