competent to pronounce upon a pastor, the
final sentence of acquittal or condemnation!‘
After much discussion, the above, in sub-
stance, passed unanimously, and the General
Association paused in their business proceed-
ings, and rendered solemn thanksgiving to God,
for this happy unanimity in a matter which, in
its progi'ess, had caused so much anxiety and
distress.
It will be seen that the General Association’
granted all that was asked by the Fairfield
\Vest, and more. The Fair-field \Vest asked
for no vindicat.iou of their conduct in this inat-
-ter; though their conduct had been complain-
ed of. and repeatedly denounced in “ 1'/LC In-
dependent” as irregular and revolutionary.
The General Association, without being mov-
ed thereto by any member of the Fair-field
West, (save to sustain the propriety of such a
-course after the committee of thirteen had re-
vcoinmended it,) adopted unan2'nzousl_7/ a decla-
ration of principle, completely vindicating the
action ofthe Fairfield\Vest. as right and order-
ly ; and put their declaration on record as the
principle to be observed in similar circumstan-
ces in all future time. I
A more fitting and effectual rebuke to the
-impertinent cruciities and errors of The Inde-
pendent, no member of Fairfiold \Vest. could
possibly desire. \Ve shall look with some iii-
terest to see what the editors of that paper
will say to this unczn'i-nzous decision of the Gen-
eral Association of Connecticut.

Adjournlnent of the Legislature.
This event took place on Saturday morning
last. Our report ofits proceedings are brought
up to that time. The business accomplished
by its nearly eight "weeks arduous setting is
coinpaiatively of little importance, much less,
perhaps thah the $3ll,(l00 which it is said to
have ‘cost the State. That amount applied to
"the State debt, would have abundantly coiii-
pensated for all the blessings which are likely
to flow from the protracted labors of this now
defunct body. The amount of unfinished busi-
ness which goes over for the next Assembly is
very great. At this we may take some coni-
fort, as we are spared the evil that might have
been done, and are encouraged to believe that
the next Assembly will be somewhat differently
constituted, in which case we shall perhaps
have a more wholesome state of things. No
U. S. Senator has been appointed. \Ve have.
therefore, saved ourselves from being saddled
for the next six years with a Cleveland, a
Toucy, or a Catlin; and the \Vhigs will see
to the election ofa man cfthe right sort at the
To the freesoilers may the
credit,be given, of preventing the adoption of
many merely party measures, and of saving
the State Iher'§by from the folly and evil which
it was at. first thought their votes might con-
tribute. On the whole, we may i'ej0ice that
things are not worse.

. 'l‘cr1'lble Disaster.
The steamer Griffeth, Capt. Roby, left Buf-
falo on the morning of the 16:11 inst. for San
dusky and Toledo with more than 200 passen-
gers, the greater portion being emigrants, when
a‘bout'tweuty miles of Cleveland, she took ‘fire,
and the ‘flames spread with such rapidity and
fury as to defy every effort to extinguish tliem.
The unfortunate vessel was ‘burned to the
watei"s edge.
T ie mat-e, after it was found impossible to
the,'.vessel, threw himself into the lake
and swam ashore. ‘He proceeded immediately
to Cleveland. He says ‘that only -thirty of the
multitude on board escaped, and that two hun-
dred lives were iost._
Among the lost are Capt. R... wife, and
>daughter.' A later report says that more than
‘250 had either been burnt to death or found :1
"Wtllel'_Y grave.
A still later dispatch to the Tribune da-
ted the 18th. puts the whole number on board
as follows :—steerage 256. cabin 45. crew 25—
total 326. The niiinbei' known to be saved is
about 40. 150 of the dead bodies had been
collected on the beach near this terrible scene
on the date ofthis dispatch.

"It is stated on the authority of :1 private let-
ter, that on the night; of May 12th. the city of
Point Petre, Guadaloupe, was fired by the ne-
groes, it being a signal for insurrection before
agreed on by them. However, they did not
succeed in entering the city, having been de-
terred by the prompt. measures taken by the
citizens—but‘the overseers’ houses were burnt
to the ground, and the smoking ruins and des-
titute families presented a scene difficult to de-
scribe. The city has been fired four different
times since. and eighteen houses burnt... The
Governor has put the city in a state of seige.

at Boston on the 11th’ inst. and adjourned on
Saturday the 15th. The whole number
present amounted to about 30,000. The next,
annual session of the Order is to beheld in
Toronto, Canada West, on the third Tuesday
in June, 1851. A large amount of important;
business was transacted, and in a manner that
appeared to give general satisfaction. The

The Democracy of this city. known as the
“ Hunkers,” on Monday night gave a compli-
mentary dinner to Senator Dickinson of this
State. at Tammany Hall, which must have
been highly gratifying to the honorable gentle-
man. It furnished concl_usive evidence to him
that public appreciation of his services in the
cause of slavery propagandism had crossed
“ Mason 65 Dixon's Line,” and was gradually
making its way Northward. Perhaps it has
not reached its northern limit, and he may yet.
receive from Boston Merchants, and Andover
Professors and Ex-Professors of Theology,
letters of thanks for his national and statesman
like course upon the exciting question of Sla-
very. It is to be hoped that he will no longer
bewail his unhappy fate at not having been
born in Virginia—a state which he has cer-
tainly for the last five years faithfully repre-
sented byvote and speech in the Senate.—-
Charles O’Conner, Esq. presided at the eve-
ning’s ‘entertainment, and delivered himself of
a speech that would have been well received
in any part of“ the nation of South Carolina.”
How happens it that an lrislinian who is at
home the vociferous champion of equal rights
and equal laws, the sworn enemy from his
cradle of tyranny and oppression, the getter up of
monster meetings to einiincipate his own coon-
try from the domination of another and more
powerful nation, and after an exile from that
country because he has dared to strike a blow
for freedom—how happens it that heis here the
apologist, the defender, nay the strenuous ad-
vocate of a system which trainples upon all
human right and gives over millions of human
beings to perpetual and hopeless bondage, It
can hardly be explained upon any other hypotli-
sis than that the Irishman has a natural and
innate antipathy to the negro. I believe he has.
Old Tammany never rang with louder yells
than when the Irish in 1846 screamed out
their indignation and rage at the infamous
proposition of soiiie'arz'stocrr1l-ic VVliigs of giv-
ing to all men equal political rights; and when
the question was in that year put to the voters
of this State——“ Shall a man be denied the
right of suliiage mainly because he has a black
skin ’.l” they responded with an unanimous aye.
Now this same Counsellor O'Conneris the son
of one of the (so called) Irish rebels of ’98, and
yet he hesitates not to publicly endorse the
political coui'se of a Senator who has not made
a speech or given a vote for freedom; who has
openly disregarded and set at defiaitce his con-
stituents; and during the five years of his sena-
torial term, has worked with all t.lie earnestness
and zgal of the Senators from South Carolina.
Alabama. and Mississippi, to extend, uphold,
and strengthen slavery.
But this dinner to Senator Dickirison—whnt
does it mean ? lt. means that the Democracy
of New York intend to stand by their old
friends and :illies,tlie slaveliolders——that hence-
fortli there shall be no divided allegiance. 'l‘lie
rank and file of the democracy, inarshalled
under the banner of " Union.” are once again
to stand shoulder to shoulder with the slave
lcutler of Virginia, the cotton planter of South
Carolina, and the sugar grower of Louisiana,
and battle manfully for “ liberty and equality,”
*‘ equal rights and equal laws." Tlii-~.ie has
been some insubordination in the ranks for it
few years past, but the officers are excellent
tactitiaiis, and feel confident that the troops
will all be got into a good state ofdiscipliiie be-
fore the next Presidential election. It is cer-
tain that “ frersoilism” and every other ism
that: endangers their success will be rooted out.
All who embraze the “ pesttileut heresy” that
this government. was formed to secure the bles-
sings of liberty, and not to extend the curse of
slavery, will be branded as rebels and traitors,
and meet with summary execution. There
will be no “ benefit of clergy" for them.
\Vhile the democracy are thus openly aban-
doning all opposition to slavery or its further
extension. what are the wliigs doing ? They
are divided among themselves, proposing Com-
promises. balancing and weighing plans for the
settlementof the voxel question, recalling the
people of the north to their constitutional du-
ties—-and all this time the supplies for the gov-
ernment are not. voted, California is unadmit-
ted, the slave pen still stands in \Viishington
filled with human chattles; our rivers and bar-
bors are unimproved ; and our manufacturers
and mechanics are suffering from a ruinous
competition with foreign labor and capital.
Now suppose the VVhigs had all united upon
the President’s plan, instead oftrying to settle
all the exciting questions growing out of slavery
by souie grand scheme of compromise. They
would have gone to work at once to admit Cal-
ifornia. Two-tliirds of the lower House and
a ma,iorit_y of the Senate are in favor of her
admission, andif it had been passed by itself
with the same zeal and pert:inacity as the coin-
promise bill hasbeen, she would have been be-
fore this_enro!»led among the states ofthe Union.
There would then have been -‘a clear field for
legislative action upon the other important
subjects before Congress—the tariff, the im-
provement of harbors and rivers, land limita-
tion, &c., (to. But, aside from this, the Presi-
dent's plan, even in regard to the territories of
New Mexico and Utah, if rightly ‘considered,
seems to me preferable to the provisions of
the Compromise bill for their oi'gaiii3:iitioii. If
let alone, they will soon organize themselves
into Suites, and, from the character of the in-
habitants and the soil, almost to a certaiiit , ex-
clude slavery. As they are, the slave-holder ‘
dare not go there with his property. There
is a rude sort of a government. and justice is
administered under it according to the Mexican
laws in force at the time the territories were
conquered. Slavery cannot exist there. But
ifa territorial government. is organized. judges
appointed, and the constitution and laws ofthe
U. S. extended over these territories. then
precisely this question arises : \Vlictlicr in the
absence of any prohibition, a slave would not be
property which a man might legally held there‘?
That has been the claim of almost every south-
ern man; and the question would be decided
finally by a court in which a majority ofthe
members are slave holders. So fsras slavery
is concerned. it seems to me thatthe chances
of its introduction into these territories will
be increased by the compromise bill.
But I must stop here. YANKEI-1.

Monday evening of last week, after having been
closed for nine weeks. We could hardly re-
alize that such vast and superb improvements
could have been made in so short a time. The

three thousand people, who occupied every

heretol'ore received from his numerous friends
and acquaintances during the past 25 years,
would say to them and the public generally,

to conduct the mercantile business on the one
price s_1/s(cni., and that a very low price, it must
be done for ready pay.

This niagiiiliceiit establislinicnt, which contains the most
extensive and attractive collection of
Natural and Ax-tificxal Curiosities
to be found on the continent, li:is lately received many very
important additions -to its beliire almost iiewildcriug variety
of agreeable and instructive objects. Besides which, the
manager takes pleasure ‘in inforining his patrons that, actu-
ated by a desire to merit :1 continuance of the patronage
that has been bestowed upon this Museuni for the past
nine 3/curs, he has expended
FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS
in enlarging and cmbellishing it, as well as rendering it in
man wars the most attractive ‘)I(ll'L‘ o avnu.s-eincut in the

city, Having now taken in the whole of the Cliemicax
bank lJUll(lll‘l‘__’, next door, and thrown the vast sites of both
edifices into one Grand Structure, finished in the most tasty
ttl‘,
S 3 T Witlioiit Regard to Cost,
lie flatters himself that his establishment under its new
arrangement will meet with
Universal Approbation.
He has added to his new building a
Magnificent Lecture Room,
the floor of which is two stories lower down than the old
one, aiid l'll.to-d up in the most gorgcmis style, with iron
trellis-work fronts to each l.lL’.l.'-—Cl'ln)S0l.lVt:lVCli cushions to
each seat—vvhito and gold adornmciits. &c.—presenting an
elegant saloon that will comfortably hold
THREE THOUSAND PEOPLE,
where all those who disapprove ‘of the dissipations, de-
buuclieries, profanity, vulgarity. and other abominations,
which cliaracterize our modern theatres, may visit without
fear of hearing or seeing anything that might shock the
most susceptible moral sensibility.
'|N BARNUM'S LECTURE ROOM
not a word is uttered olfeiisive to morals or religion—-not a
tliouglit is brcatlied calculated to bring a blush upon the
check of niodcst_v—not an expression employed that may
not be explained to the car of youth without occasioning an
impure idca~—1iot an allusion ventured upon that has not
first been chastened with a due and fixed regard for sobri-
ety, integrity, and the other virtues of an honorable life.
The entertaiimients which take place in this Saloon every
Afternoon and Evening, will consist of highly moral and
instructive domestic dramas, written expressly for Mr.
Barnurifs Establislinients, and so constructed as to please
and edify, while they possess a powerful .rcfonnzztor;I/ ten-
dency. Tlie moral domestic drama of
“ The Drunkard, or the Fallen Reclaimed,”
which was represented over a liundrcrl times at Barnnm’s
Pliiladclpuia lvluseum. and conceded to be one ofthe most.
powerful auxiliaries that the tcmpei-".ince cause has ever
received in this country, and to which was awarded the ap-
probation and countenance oftlie great body of clcrgzymcn,
the religious coinniimity ‘it large, and all of the first fami-
lies in that city, will be among the first produced at the re-
opcning of this cstablislmiciit-.
