The additional details which we give to-day of thi bloody affair will no doubt attract the reader ttention. .Such a cold, daring, savage resistance of the laws of the land is well circulated (aa it has done)' to produce the highest degree of public indicnaiion throughout the Country. Especially is it calculated to arouse :he feelings of the people of ihe slaveholdinfr Slates. It could not be other- e. The North, we mean the patriotic and law lhidin citizens of that . section or the oountry, must know, must feel, that there is a point be yond whieWorbearance will cease to be a virtue If they do not know and fuel this, it is high time they had begun to reflect upon it , From the lawless baud who infest many sections of the North we cannot expect, and tnerewre ao no look for, any tiling like reflection. Bui every community should provide itself with the means at kMriinir under subordination aft such. If this " r s u not done, the consequences will fall f upon al like. When the la" is violated by the wicked siid disorderly, it should be promptly vindicated. This is the only way by which oar free mstitu lions can be preserved. liberty without the regu lation of law is not wonh having. It an evil the worst of evils. We lock upon the Uoed thinty conduct of those engaged in the Christiana not with ferling? of horror and indignation. ii well calculated to bring the politicians at the North to their senses, and induce them (if any thing can) to pause and survey the precipice tfe brink of which, they have assisted to bnng dus great and glorious Country I In the face o this outrage so inhuman aud daring will they Whig or Democrat, longer attempt to make polit ical capital out of the exciting topic which has so long kept the Country in turmoil ! VY ill not Van Buren, Rantoul, Chase, beward, Sumner, and ethers, who have influence with their respective parties, lake warning from this dreadful affair ? Will they continue to encourage, by the propaga tion of their infamous d ictrines, violations ofthe law, and the shedding ot the blood of their fellow citizens If they do, they will deserve sUll more the execrations of the whole Country ! Much depends upon the manner iu which this outrage is met by the civil authorities of Pennsyl vania and ihe Executive of the United States. So far both have done their duty nobly. It will be seei that many of the rioters have been arrested and arc now in prison to be tried for treason or murder- If the violated law is vindicated with becoming firmness in this instance, it must neces sarily have a salutary effect throughout the North. The offenee is Treason, and we hope that the par ties concerned may be tried for that. It will give, if any of them are convicted and punished, of which, if the facts be correctly stated, there can be but little doubt, a moral effect to the action of lbs General Government which will be fell ia all parts of the Country. We hare full confidence in the Administration. Its action in this instance was prompt, firm and pa tnotic. No man eonld show a more determined resolution to execute the laws than Mr. Fillmore . He is entitled to the gratitude of the whole Union. - We believe that to the last moment of his Administration lie will provo himself to be the OF DUTY j BE0ADi.sS OfttiSSOIlAI. C05SE- QCE9CES.

V-..-"----- Volume XII.v - .. .THE CUBAN, EXPEDITION. v v ;! Many of the secession -presses have labored and are now laboring hard to make snmo capital out of the position assumed by the Administration in reference to .the recent disastrous expedition against Cuba. It has been charged with hostility to human freedom, and with ft voting the despot ism of Spain. Afew considerations only are ne cessary to put to rest snch unfounded charges against the patriotic men at the bead of our, Gov ernment. v It ia well known that Lope and his chief adherents, commenced the crusade for Cuban independence with the avowal that the people of the Island were anxious to throw, off the Spanish yoke and were ready to move towards the accom plishment ot this object so soon as they could ob tain aid from citizens of the Uuited States. There had been no demonstration by the people of Cuba to give assurance of the truth of such an avowal on the part of Lopez. On' the. contrary, in the first and last expedition,. these very .people who were 1 pronounced as groaning , under , the most cruel oppression, and ready at a word to spring to arms to regain their rights, were the first to rise np against iheir professed friends and deli verers,so soon as they had landed. : Whether they ore dis satisfied or not with their Government, it has been demonstrated that they are unwilling to receive foreign aid to throw off that Government. Now, what was the position assumed by tho AduMais- tration which has called down upan it the wrath of these agitators, who, at the very time they are eager fo give Republican Institutions to a foreigu people, are exerting themselves to the utmost to pull down their own free Government the bright est example of Republicanism on earth ? It was this. The President ofthe Uuited States had sworn to execute the laws, and "to the best of Lb ability to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution." It was his duty then to see that the laws be executed, at all hazards. The Con stitution itself declares that, "this Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof, and all treaties made or which shall be made under the autliority of the United States, shall be tie suprem" law of the land." All treaties, then, made by the United States with foreign powers, however weak or humble, are a part of the supreme law of the land made so by the Constitution. Is it not the plain duty ol the President to have all such treaties executed ? Could he shrink from such duty without a viola lion of his oath? Can he elect to execute one treaty, and evade or override another 1 Can he enforce the fulfilment of treaties with Russia and England, because they are powerful, and disregard or violate those with Spain and Portugal, because they are weak? Are such the political ethics of the denouocers of the Administration ? Well, we have a treaty with Spain. The &rst article stipulates that "there shall be firm and in violable peace and friendship between his Catholic majesty of pain, his successor, and subjects, and the United Stales and thetr citizens, without ex ception OF PERSONS AND PLACES- Thh, as We have before stated, is a part of the supreme law of the land which the President was bound to exe cute, or violate his oath, his duty to the nation, and the plighted faith of this Government to Spain Could he remain iilent and inactive, (however strong his love of liberty) and suffer armed expe ditions :o be fitted out on ihe soil of the United States, against Spain or her possessions, without subjecting himself to the charge of an abandon ment of duty, if not to impeachment! Would not these ''sympathisers" have been the first to denounce him as imbecile, treacherous, and per-1 jured ? ! It is insisted, however, that the Administration went beyond its duty, and the requirements of our treaty obligations, in sending our Naval Steam Ships to ciuise around Cuba, to intercept the pas sage of any of our citizens ibither who had hos-: tile designs against the Government of Cuba. But; mark the words of the treaty : "There shall be firm and inviolable peace, dec., tcxthoul exception of persons and places It is the duty then of our Government to enforce this Treaty wherever her citizens were found sailing in American bottoms with hostile purposes against Spain or her Colo nies. If this were not so, how easily could this treaty or any other be evaded, or rendered null ! But it appears to us that this whole complaint is met by the provisions of the Act of Congress, passed 1818, entitled "An act in addition to the Act for the punishment of certain crimes against the United States." The 6th section of that Act is in the following words: "6. That if any person shall within the territo ry or jurisdiction ofthe United Slates begin or set on foot, or provide or prepare the means fur, any military expedition or cnterprize to be carried on from whence against the territory or. dominions of any foreign Prince or btate or any Colony, d, trict or people with whom the United States are at peace, every person so onenaing snail do aeeinr ed cuiky ot a high misdemeanor, and shall be fined not exceeding three thousand dollars, and be imprisoned not more than one year J' The 8th Section gives the President the power to call out the land and naval forces ofthe United States to carry into effect the provisions of the law. . The duty of ihe Administration under this law and our treaty with Spain was clear, and it marched up to the performance of that duty without feart favor or affection. It could not expect -the ap proval of such men as are anxious to tear down tneir own uovernment, nor uoea u. tear ineir ue ounciation and calumnies. It will, we trust, con tinue fearlessly to stand by and execute the laws. and carry out the Constitution, whether the blow necessary to accomplish this should fall on the heads of Abolitionists or Disnnionists, who sym patbize with an expedition for the plunder of our neighbors! k But these "sympathizers" are .indeed a consis tent set! They denounce with great bitterness (and justly too) the Abolitionist at the Noith for even tatting and writing sgainst our Southern Institutions, but still they are' ready lo carry on an armed crusade -to spread the desolating effect of fire and the sword over Caba, because they do not exactly fancy the Government nnder which its People live and with which they appear perfectly well satisfied I They rail out against. the English for sending" Thompson and others into the free tatea to Kscture against slavery, but. their own money, and Vjhivalry," and even their lives, are readily hazard d to orertnrrf, by force, and at the sacrifice of mv :h innocent blood the Institutions of Spain ! Jo eed these are consistent timesrfthis "Sympathizing party, who are ready to carry on a crusade for inman liberty, any where, and every where, U a consistent party 1 By the same pro ceas of reasoning; with which they justify interfeiv ence in the affairs of Cuba; will '--'the ''Abolitionist, seek to justifyjlw efforts to deluge the South fn blood, and overturn her Institutions il ' Let them look to it.: iJt the presses at the South, who are denouncing tf4 Administration for a manly, and fearless exeeuifon of the laws -and trealy obiiga tions, look to it, for before they know it their own artillery v(il be turned against them, wi h a force too terribtt to resist !

It wfll be rabered, that under the late Census, our 8tate wilHJe entitled, after the 4fth of March next, to but eight members ofthe Houso of Repre sentatives, and consequently, to but ten electoral votes for President. It becomes important, thea, to know whether it will not be necessary to remodel the Electoral Districts of the State befte the next Pre sidential election, which takes place in November 1853 If this be so, then it is time the people knew what course the Governor of the State intends to pursue in reference to calling the Legislature together for a called session will be indispensable, if the opinion which is entertained be correct, that we shall, by vir trie of the late Census and the act of Congress pas sed 23rd of A? ay, 1850, fixing the number of mem ber?, of the House of Representatives, be eutitled to bat ten votes iu the uext Electoral College. This is an important inquiry, for the presidential vote of the Sute, at the next election, may depend on it If we art entitled to but ten votes, and the election takes puce under the electoral law cow in force, our voice in the choice of President in 1852 will not be heard. 1 ke select ion of eleven Electors will render the pro ceeding void, and of course our vote will be rejected. No doubt, the people, who are deeply concerned in tlis matter, would be pleased to learn what His Ex cellency, Governor Rkid, thinks of it. If his opinion is, that a session ofthe Legislature will have' to be cilled, then it concerns them to know rchen he intends to convene that body t Millie do it this winter, or wi.lbe postp -neit till after the first of January, 1852; or is it lii8 purpose to await the election of members of the Legislature in August, 1852, and call tbera to gether ! In addition to this, many arc desirous of know ing, (if the Governor has concluded to wait until after January nest,) what his purpose is in so doing t I . there any object beyond the mere legitimate business of remodeling the Electoral Districts! These considerations and inquiries are submitted with no unkind feeling towards H ie Excellency, but that they may receive the attention of those whose business it is to direct such matters, and guard against all detriment to the State for the want of prompt action. Befo-e concluding however, we would ask, (if it bo correct that wc shall be entitled to but ten electoral votes in the next Presidential e'ection,) why was this tfnatter neglected by the Democratic Legis lature last winter 1 The apportionment act was pas sed May 2'5rdTl830 ; were i s provisions uiiown or overlooked by tie Democratic majority ofthe Legis lature ? Is it possible that an extra session of that body has become necessary on account of their neg lect ? But it is not our purpose to anticipate. The subject is an important one. We shall recur to it a gain.but not, perhaps, until we have heardthe views of others on the point presented. Will 'the Orgrau" favor us with its views? THE DIRGE OF DISUNION The flag that has n unted so gaily tor montus in MissiseiiPi struck, and the career of Recession has a been cut short by the fiat of the sovereign people. Gen. Quitman, after rough experience cf the popu lar will, has abandoned his canvats in despair 1 The cause of the Union cannot in Mississippi, nor in any other State, if fairly submitted to the people, fail to be supreme; for ldye of it and fidelity to it can neither be shakeo by the rhetoric ot demagogues, nor the dia tribes of disunion scribblers. We take the following " surrender at discretion" from the 'Mississippian (secession.) It tells the tory : ' - The scattering returns of the election, which took place on Monday and Tuesday last, for members to the Contention to assemble in November, to take ac tion with reference to the Compromise schemes of the last Congress, indicate the d -cision of the people ui favor of acquiescence. Without stopping to explain, or to inquire into the causes which have led to this result, it is sufficient to our present purpose to an nounce it. Although there were many extraneous subjects introduced into the c.invass to influenee votes and to divert attention irom me reai questions at issue yet it is idle to cavu or murmur at the decision If our present opinions, as tome result oi ine election are realized, we shall regard acquiescence in the so called Plan of Adjustment, as the settled policy, of the State- The Sovereignty the People is the great funda mental principle of the Uemocratic creed, to which we adhere. Ah good citizens should bow to the maiestv of their w 91, as fairly expressed at the ballot box. In the first number of tins-paper which was issued af tor it passed from the hands of its late conductors, in closing an article on the subject of the convention, wa held this language : 'Let tire whole subject, ail the testimony, tho more the better, go before the people. We pledge to abide by thet decision." This pledge we are prepared, in good faith, to redeem. Consid ering tho question definitely settled as to the course which saould De Observed in relation to past wrongs we shall beneetorward loolE to the future. Sayaksah,' September 15.

From tit Philadelphia Bulletin of Frida f. THE TERRIBLE RIOT at CHRISTI A A DEATH OP A1R.GQRSUCHAND & IN. In addition to what is already known iff this affair, which occurred yesterday, we learn tl at the scene ot the murderous riot was in the yieitity of Christiana, in Lancaster County, near the bonders of Chester, The persons killed were M& E ward Gorsuch, an old gentleman who resided at lit 19 miles from Baltimore, Maryland; and ,: &i t' son Dickinson; a young man. ' The father w shot dead by one of the fuzili re slaves of who ti he was the owner. The son was inortallywpunfMi ed in the bloody affray, and survived but atehoWVl time. The slave who shot bis master wai him self wounded in the left arm. . He U described, in a despatch, to Police Marshal Keyser, Ithif mor ning, as a tall, slim mulatto fellow,' with fulljgound face and good looking " v ; Til i A despatch to one ofthe telegraphic wwtera this forenoon says that the" sfteriff of Lancasfe county was wounded ; also another young man. The Philadelphia officer shot at so often without being hit was named Henry Kline, who wntes to Recorder Lee that the number f negroes who made the attack was from fifty to one hundred. Although in the midst ofthe fight, he escaped be. ing injured. The rioters who perpetrated this foul murder scattered in every direction; The-two fugitive slaves, it is reported, have not been heard of since the occurrence. It is believed they will make for Canada by some ofthe northern routes. The po lice of Philadelphia are closely watching the ar rival and departure of every line. P. S. Since the above was written, we learn by Mr. J. H. Hann, conductor ofthe Pennsylva nia rail road, who arrived by the one o'clock line this afternoon, that the affray happened about two and a halt miles from Christiana, in Salisbury t wnship, Lancaster County, at a place called Gap Hills, where there is a settlement of free ne groes and runaway slaves. When Mr. Gorsuch and the party with him came up he informed Finkney (this was the name of the fugitive slave) that he had been after him several limes before and without get ting him ; that he was determined to have him this time, and had come to Uke him or die in the attempt. The slave then immediately fired on him, when he fe 1 and expired, having it is said seven balls in him. When his son the father fall, he drew his revolver and bred on the slave. The latter had started to escape, and was running. Three balls mi mm, penetrating the hip, and passing oul front. At this moment a large party of nesroes, con cealed in the cornfields, rushed out at mm, giving! him no cl.ance lo discharge any more barrd. : They shot him in the side, a whole load entering.; hen rushing on lim,wiih their muskets andciubs mdcii ing it they b.itiered his arm lo a jelly, break! several pUces They also shockin&ly beat liiro on the hrad. He was yet alive when the traiu passed if day, but not expected to survive long. the corpse i.fthe elder Mr. Gorsuch waj taken up to Colombia last night, in the cars, by Mr. Hann, for the purpose of being conveyed m Bal tiinore via York, Pennsylvania. The friends and officers who accorapanfcd Mr. Gorsuch and his son were completely overwhel med. Two of ihe number are missinir. anl sup posed to be murdered. Ihe w hue people of the neighbortoocfof the scene refused to assist the officers, and coiid afford no facilities for the pursuit ofthe murdejers, who escaped. They refused even to furnisi a wagon and horses. No arrests were m ide. , The assailing party viS headed by an old ne gro preacher. When he saw. the fallen bodies oi Mr. Crorsueh and son, he rushed with lis arms extended, eay ing, "forbear men, forbear, i You'll all be hung! They are dead!" lhere is no great exctiemen.t in the viinity of the scene ef the murder. No one has takn any interest in the horrid occurrence. j There is some sympathy for the dead,! but the citizens seemed afraid lo express it. Thiy have apprehensions lor the salety f their lives inu pro perty at the nanus ol the black rioters aid their white a be tors. I We must add that Mr. Gorsuch the el(r was not only brutally murdered, but robbed j by the blacks, after he was dead, of $t00 in monfy. From the Philadelphia Bulletin, of Friday afternoon.

If the 'Americans have lost 'caste anhe Crystal Palace, (hey 1 secured triumphs on the waters of England gland, and wnue me result is calculated for the moment to abash us, if will realize the fine aphorism which Bulwer puts in the mouth of Richelieu 'There's no such word as fail." ' ' " Already, an English builder has thrown out a challenge to produce in ten weeks a yacht which shall compete with the star spaneied America; but the challenge has been prudently declined, from a belief, doubtless, that another victory, with the experience which our builders now possess of wnai me America, constructed on; a new and in genious principle, can do, would be a matter of considerable uncertainty. f A naufical. writer, who addresses a morning contemporary, is inclined to attribute the success of the strange craft Irom the Western World, as much to her peculiar rigging and sails as to her general form. Iu ill this we see the improvement brought out by competition. It sets the mind fo work to ac countlor giving results. It establishes a principle; and aa in the breeding of animals, so in the build ing of yachts, an enlarged experience produces t he, most complete and perfect thing of its kind which ingeou ty and capital can attain. . When Cnarlejjiagne saw the sail of the north mea iu the Mediterranean, be covered his face wwn nis hands and wept, in a prescience of the future. When Queen Victoria, yesterday week, witnessed the triumph of an American sail in the Channel that washed her marine residence, she did what Charlemagne ought to hsjve dotre she took note of the excellence which had achieved a victory, ucitly telling ber sunjecls to profit by rivalry, and keep their proud place in the advance of nations. Civilization, as we have often said, has biib erto been geographical. The merchant followed trade: and, where the merehant opened his counting-house, religion, and science, and morals set up their altars. The United Statt-s of America sow occupy that place on the globe which pre sents commercial advantages unknowu to all an cient and contemporary nations. The territories of ihe transatlantic republic ex pand into worlds; and she reposes between ihe two oceans, one wahiug Asia, the oilier Europe. Her fields teem with plenty; her mines are inex haustible; while her rivers obviate canals, and tempt trade and manufactures inio activity thous ands of miles from the Atlantic and Pacific. Notliing was wanted to the local enthronement of ci vilization but aptitude in the inhabitants; and the history of tor past week gives ample testimony to its abundant existence. In a pracrical science we admitted no rivalry for more than a century; in trade, we despised coiupetiHo; and, since the haughty Hollander swept the Thames, we claimed, indisputably, the sovereignly of the seas. For some time, however, the i aoke -6 0,1 ve tee.i quietly encroa hingonour maritime privilege not pushing ns from the ele ment whereon our pride hung out the cross ot St. George, but gradually creeping into an incipient equality. lhey did this, not though accident or fa rer. but by the rigid a pplication of the great principles of commerce and science. 1 hey nave, compared with ourselves, been equally enterprising they have been more skilful; and, while we pay wil ling homage to genius, in whomsoever manifes ted, it is a mortiucation that in our own waters. an American yacht won the priir from the yachts of all nations, and that an American steamer ac complished the quickest passage ever made across the Atlantic. The Yankees are no longer to be ridiculed, much less despised. The uew world is bursting into greatness walking past the old worlJ; as the America did the' yachts at Cowes, "hand over hand." She dipped the star spangled banner to the royally of Great Britain, for superior! y is ever courteous: and this gracelui act ludicatea the d rectioo in which our inevitable competition should proceed. America, in her own phrase, is going a head," and will assuredly pass us, unless we accelerate our speed. U'verpool d imes. Philadelphia. Sent. 15.
