If we examine paiticiilar States, w hal find the cotitra.t even more nneqnul than in the Aggregate.

She has live elect, oral vote, or one for 03,191 fien whitu in habitant. It will be observed, from these figures, that three white men in Soii'b Car olina have ua muuh influence in the votes npon this floor m teeen whito men in New Hampshire. And thi", sir, is the tquvlthj of the State," so much talked of on the other side of the House. Perhaps, sir, the institution of ulavery is o elevating in its elTects on human char acter, that three men in South Carolina are equal to seven in New Hampshire. The country hIiouIJ consider the subject in this liqht, before they pass any hasty judgement. It certainly has some very str'king ex amples. .

Throe Free-Stato men were killed, and there were three wagon loads of killed and wounded among the I'ro-Slave- rv men. It was a desperate fight between 3D or 40 Free-Stato men against 300 Mis. soiiiians.

Vrrmonl at Home. A New York correspondent of tho Rot. ton Christian Advocate describes t visit to Mr. Fremont at his residence in 0th street, from which we extract: In a quiet, simply-furnished apartment, upon the rear of the first floor, I found mine hosi. 1 was not prepared to meet such a mnn. None of the published prints of him which I have seen did him justice. Yet 1 knew 1 held Col. John C. Fremont by the hand. Iliad expected to see a stout built, full featured, dark, sharp-eyed man, with the nir of a "rough-and-tumblo" life fresh up on bim. I was linking for an eye that should pierce me through and make mo feel anywhere but at home. In short, 1 was all prepared to keep cool and wear an outward show of enso. is ill mark: I meta man ruther below the medium size as far as mere bulk is concerned, with a mild, modest expression of countenance ; a deep, meaning eye, but beaming with intellectual light; a brow nobly formed, though half hidden by tho dark, curling hair which parts in the centre and floa s awnyon either side; a bold, acquiline nose, ! with those fineiy curved nostrils which mark tho fearless, firm-souled man; lips rather thin, and net at all hidden by the graceful moustache ; ft prominent chin for diameter, though in perfect keeping with the rest of the leuturua. 1 never saw a masculitio face with so much boldness of outline, And less of the animal. There is hardly an animal feature discernable. It is man true, pure ntid noble. His feel ings speak out plainly in his face, especial ly in his eyes and lips; and the Various thadesof his countenance bstray at once the mnn who is not used to concealment or prevarication. . ' I had not spoken to him a full minute, before I felt as perfectly at home as though I had bceii with a member of my own fam ily. His salutation was Trunk and manly, freo from study, und bore upon its tone a grniul welcome. In conversation, ho is free, easy and pleasing; with language just fitted to con vey his thoughts ; a spirit of mild good-im-tire predominant, with just fire enough in them to show that they could bum ruther warmly were the stroke given, As we talk on wo find him possessing a wondrous fund of sound, practical sense ; keen and penetrating; reading motives easily, and deducting his conclusions wilh more than ordinnry accuracy. lie presents ono of those peculiar moral conformations which seek good in everything; ever rendv to grasp good advice ; seeking council from those qualified lo give it; never noting on a preconceived plan when he is shown a belter ! hut no moro to be turned from w hat he knows is right, than his own Reeky Mountains can be turned into the Pacific." From the American Organ. ..The Contest In Ohlo.li The Washington Vnlon. We aro watching the Soitth-gullor of the Washington Union, and now publish from that print, for future reference, the follow ing extract of an article under the above head, which appeared in its issue of yes terday, viz: "The October election is of vast import anee, not only as influencing the character of the next Congress, but also in view of ilia influence which it will have upon the Presidential eleetion. Until recently we have entertained little or no hops of curry ing Ohio, but since the Democracy have entered the fight with such spirit and de termination, we have very strong hopes; indeed, we think it certain that if the tide rolls on until November, nt the pace it has now, the State beyond nil question will go for Buchanan by a large majority," In the above extract it will be seen that the Washington Union "has strong hopes" of Ohio,and indeed "thinks it certain if the tide ro'ls on, Ac., &a, that State will be yond all question go for Buchanan by a large majority.'' That press "thinks" no such thing it has no such calculations, and after the elections are over it will tteear it never draamed of carrying Ohio, just as it declared in regard to Maine! In an article in the same issue, (yester. r'ay,) under the head ''A word at lojmssing eve.ntt," that press makes a calculation, wholly omitting Ohio, and claims the fol lowing free States at certain, but, of which, "Old S'piatler Sovereign" not get more than one, if even th'il one 1 The Union says : "The ct unt which we make for Novem her, therefore, ii that liuchanan will cei tainly get New Jersey . 8 Pennsylvania 27 Indiana . 13 Illinois - 11 California . . 4 "Making in all 03 votes certain in the non-slaveholdinjtSiatet, and 120 fc'outherr earnest zeal that we feel nstur-'d we liaic a probability of gaining some of 'hem.

The report of (he Congressional Committee on onr Lake commerce ha shewn In manner trtt'y surprising (o all, the Astonishing vatua nnd growth of our Lake commerce. In 1841 the gross amount of tho lake trade was $05,000,200. In 1640 il had increased to 8123,000,000. In 184", According to the estimate of Col. Abert, of the Topograph ical Kngineer, the value of thecemmrrce f the lakes wai 8108,000,000. In 151 it amounted to more than (300,000,000 ; and in the four years from that time till '55, it had doubled, amounting in the latter year, at it did, to 8008'3 10,:i20. The total exports and import of the lakes with for eign countries, in liSH, were 81,210,020, 040 ; tlmt of the ocean was 8275,100,816, leaving a balance of 041 millions in fa vor of the Lakes. The value of the ex porta was Lake, 8008,810,329; Ocean 8174,934,703, or 433 millions in favor of the lakes. The value of Lake commerce in 1851 was over three hundred millions, and il Increased threo hundred million in four years, while for the same period the increase of our foreign commerce wat only about sixty-eight million. IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO. l 0 have news from Mexico to tho 22d Aug. The Mexican government were keeping a keen eye upon the 1 ehuautepee expedi tionists, suspecting them of lillihusteiing designs. - -The country was at quiet as usual, ex cept in the Northern Stntes, where the In diana were committing fearful ravages, and Vidaurri had issued a pronunciainento de claring tho povince uuder his control "free and independent of the despotic powers of Mexico. Under the pretence cf clutsthv ing the savages, Viduarrihas in fact com menced another revolution against the gen eral government, designing, if successful, to rfTect a dissolution of the Union, with the view of selling up an independent State, or possibly annexation to the United Slates. Tho movement was popular, nt Monterey, but along the frontier the greatest alarm prevailed. VALOAnLB Relics. Tho New Bedford Standard is informed that Mr. James Hall, of Boston, a untive of Duxbury, while ex cavating for relics nenr the supposed resi dence of Miles Standish, In that town, in the early part of last week, was fortunate enough to discover the ceMar of the old Pil grim soldier's house. In the cellar ho found a gun barrel some fifty-two. inches in length nnd olhoi valuable relics, The house wns burned down over two hundred years ago, nnd the accumulations of earth over what was probably tho top of the cel lar, hove been about two feet in depth. During the past few years, ninny pcr.-ons have searched for the cellar, traces of which had been lost, but were not successful. The reason was that they did not carry their excavation to a siillicient depth.
