SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS The Intelligencer continues, to-day, its dis- cussion of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty with the Unton. The Union is devoted, for the most part, to Mr. Andrew Jackson Donelson, quoting that gentleman’s opinion of Mr. ore, pub- lished few years since, and concluding from them that if Mr. F. is not a very bad man, Mr. D. certainly must be; or he would not so berate, misrepresent, and abuse a man of ability and character as he does Mr. Fill- more. The Unton also quotes Mr. Donelson on foreign immigration, showing that while the editor of the Union he wasa very intenso opponent of Native Americanism. The same journal, reviewing the debate of yesterday, on the Iiinois contested election case, evi- dently leans to the policy of throwing out Senator Trumbull. ——q0>q3“enw WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. The Committee on Territories. —In making up this committee, Speaker Banks ‘spread himself” to the work of fixing it so that by no possible chance could it be possible that it would fail to go any length in the way of se- curing the triumph of abolitionism in Kansas. He has placed upon it five of the staunchest “‘eullud bredren’’ now holding seats in the House. Gentlemen who live, move, and have their political being wholly in the intensity of their devotion to the anti-slavery cause. So emphatically bas he intensified its abolition- ism in his effoit to carry out in connection with it the programme for his administration of the Speakership laid down in the caucus resolutions of Mr. Giddings, on which he was elected, as that the House have concluded, evidently, that it will entrust it with about as little of the legislative business in connec- tion with Kansas as possible This fact was made plain in their refusal not long since to refer to it Kansas business, which under other circumstances would have been committed to its charge without question. Mr. Grow, of Pennsylvania, the successor and counterpart (on slavery questions) of Mr, Wilmot, is itechairman. This young gentle- man, who was, before coming to Congress, a lawyer of fair ialking abilities, has already served four years in the House. He is one of the best debaters on the Republican side of the chamber, so far as gift of speech is con- cerned. He has not, however, taken marked rank as a legislative statesman or parliamen- tary attorney. A short time since, in his evi- dent over-eagerness to take the lead on his side inthe Kangas embrogizo, he reported a bill to repeal the (to the Republicans) obnox- ious laws of the Kaneas Legislature. Now, as the whole ease of his friends with reference to Kaneas hinges on their ability to induce the House to decide that the legislation he pro- poses to repeal was null and void ad initio, he made # sad blunder in thus giving its perfect legality, as it stands on the statute book, the endorsement of his terrible committee. He thtts admitted away his whole case. If it were nit for the fact that his four years’ ox- perience in the hall would otherwise have made a better legislative attorney of him, we should fancy that he might live and learn. But this example teaches that he will hardly make, in time, a much more effective parliamentarian than at present. He came inte Congress a Democrat with head slightly sore. Subsequently. the sore has spread all over, until he has come to merge any and everything in the intensity of his love for the negro, which he has christened devotion to the interests of the white man. Whatever Mr. Giddings thinks, Mr. Grow thinks; and, of course, when the former takes snuff, the latter sneezes. Speaker Banks has placed the terrible Mr. Giddings number twoon this committee, thus doubling its head, politically. We expect that the venerable Joshua was a prime mover inthe move of Mr. Grow in reporting the bill to which we refer above; because though nearly a quar- terof @ century a member, be scarcely equals, as an effective legislative attorney, more than one gentleman who has barely served two yearsinthe hall. His forte is talking of ne- groes, slave drivers, whips, lashes, brands, the cause of freedom—and al! that sort of thing He is a good spouter ; insomuch as while en- dowed with quite as much tongue as any other gentleman in the hall, he practices rigidly on the doctrine that a politieal ‘‘ whop- per’’ unflinchingly stuSk to in the face of proof of its want of foundation sufficient to make any other gentleman admit its incorrectness, is worth twenty ordinary irrefragible facts any day: vids his memorable discussion with Mr: Cobb, of Georgia, and others, at the be- ginning of the present session, over the record of the Democratic party’s action when Mr. C. himself was first chosen Speaker. Effective, beyond question, in making Abolition capital far off from Washington where those who read his efforts in the House do not see the replies by which he is confuted, be is of less Practical force in Copgress tham any other gentleman aspiring to be a party leader, because he takes ultra views upon every subject he ap- proaches indebate. In the last twelve years, by-the-by do not recollect to have heard him open his lips on any thing in the ball that failed to be connected, directly or indi- rectly, with the slavery question. We need seareely say that there can be nothing sug- gested in the way of abolitionizing Kan- sas, in passing which the anti-slaveryites may not feel assured that he will go the whole length of his tether. Mr. Purvianee, of Pennsylvania, is anew member, a lawyer of fine oratorical abilities, and evident Parliamentary tact. He was elected as a Know Nothing, but turns out tobe a Republican party man for all practical pur- pote ; though, we presume he still claims to belong to that wing of the Know Nothings of his State who really expect to act with Mr. Seward and his forces in the approaching na. tional election. The Republicans are antiei- pating that he will turn out eventually to be one of their leaders in the Hall; while Mr. Fillmore’s men seem to have given up all idea that he will affiliate with them upon any question of importance to their future. Mr. Richardson, of Illinois, the Democratic nominee for Speaker, now No. 4 on this com- mittee, was its chairman in the last Congress. He managed its business then with great-sué- ees and credit to himself, being thoroughly competent to the discharge of all his duties in that connection. He is so well known over the whole country as to render an extended analysis of him as a public man unnecessary Mr. Houston, of Alabama, chairman of the Ways and Means for the last four years, fol- lows Mr Richardson on this committee. He has had great experionce in Congress, and his former position on the committee is evi- dence of his competency to the discharge of any committee business with which he may be charged. As in the case of Mr. Richard- fon, all the country knows that he 18 2 strict Democrat of the strictest order in “the party.’’ Mr. Granger, isa new member from Now York. Late a Seward Whig, he is now a Republican, pretty much after the fashion of Mr. Giddings, we hear. He wag formerly a merchant, and comes to Washington with the representation of being a capital stumper. He has not yet essayed to participate in debate inthe Hall; so we cannot say how far his ability as a stump speaker at home will avail him in debate here with the gentlemen of great experience and talents with whom he guust contend, if assuming to be more on the floor than an ever ready voting Republican. He is said to have been remarkably successful in the conduct of his private business 3 which leads us to believe that he will prove very terviceable in transacting the details of busi- ness in the committee room on all occasions wherein the slavery question may not be in- volved. Mr. Zollicoffer, of Tennessee, is now serving bis second term in Congress. He was lately a Whig. Now, however, he belongs to that wing of the Know Nothing party that seems to make the task of smashing the Democrats the chief end of its political efforts. He is a gentleman of fine abilities, both oratorical and asa businessman. We know no abler parti- san debater on the opposition side of the chamber. As a matter of course he will be found ranged against the schemes of the Abo- litionists in connection with Kansas; though we have no idea that he will side with the Democrats wherever he ean possibly feel at liberty to refrain from so doing. Mr. Morrill, of Vermont, a new member, comes to Washington with the reputation of being one of the first lawyers in his State. Politically, he is an ultra Republican, having been a very ardent Free Soiler with Whig pre- dilections, not long since. He has not yet ad- dressed the House. So wo know nothing what ever of thestyleof hisoratory. Asa business man he cannot fail to takea high stand; ashe has been successful in the conduct of general business at home. Mr. Perry, of Maine, is a gentleman of very uncertain politics. At the last Presidentinl election, he was an ultra Democrat. Subse- quently he ‘flew off the handle’ on the Maine liquor law and slavery questions; being, at this time, as intense in his abolitionism, wo hear, as Mr. Giddings himself. He is a law- yer by profession, and was, not very long since, the conductor of a newspaper. We presume that he will aspire to be a debater; with what success, time must determine. Dabbling in Diplomacy.—Really, the Chev- slier Webb ‘takes the shine elean off” the Chevalier Wykoff, whilom renowned as afunny secret diplomatic agent of England on the Continent. That distinguished operator in af- fairs of love, dancing and diplomacy turns out to be a mere circumstance to the Chevalier Webb; if the latter's letter in Monday’s Intelligencer isto be credited. Palmerston only promised him (Wykoff) a certain pecunia- ry reward for his diplomatic services, and then hustled him off fora mountebank Cheva- ljer a’ industrie, on coming to comprehend the charlatanism of his diplomatic pretensions. The Chevalier Webb, luckier wight, ts re- warded for his volunteer efforts on behalf of England’s cause asagainst the United States— according to his own story—with the privilege of hob-nobbing it with my Lord Clarendon, and with letters from that august man ad- dressed to him as ‘‘My dear—Chevalier— General—Webby—good fellow—or what not. He is evidently #s pleased with his privileges growing out of the use he tells the world that Clarendon made of him against his country, as Mr. Turvydrop would have been with a familiar nod from the “ finest gentleman in all England.’’ Clarendon is just now his weak- ness, beyond all question. Diplomacy, all know, has long been hia besetting sin. For ever since the Senate refased to trust his Tur- vey-dropish brain with the management of this country’s affairs in Vienna, he haz been, according to his own published letters, play- ing the diplomatist abroad on all occasions in which he could pick up a customer soft enough to take his pretensions at his own estimate of their value. As Clarendon is evidently his weakness just now, so he is, in turn, irresisti- ble evidence of Clarendon’s weakness. No American with an ounce of brain and a knowledge of the public history of his ooun- try for the last quarter of a century, will fail to appreciate the fact, that if what the Cheva- lier Webb writes all about Clary and himself, with his intimations of his own vast impor- tance in English Governmental circles, be true, then Clary isao ‘‘soft’’ and “green’’ that the key to his extraordinary conduct through- eut the enlistment-question negotiation, need be sought for no further. The Chevalier Webb is, emphatically, himself that key. So far as the points of his bombastic, egotistical and exceedingly funny statement are concerned, we need only call to mind the fact that each one of his pleas in justification of Clarendon’s conduct is palpably contradicted by the pyg- lished history of the negotiation. Thus, while he insists, without adducing even the pretence of en attempt to prove it, that Clarendon made a formal offer of arbitration to this Govern- ment, Clarendon himself admits that he only incidentally and casually mentioned the sub- ject in conversation with Mr. Buchanan, and intimates that the formal offer was made through Mr, Crampton. And it further turns out, that Mr. Crampton accidentally overlooked the instructions to make it (or the documents themselves are untruthful) until afew days ago. We never in our life saw a fellow get his foot #0 deeply into it as our Mr. Turvydrop does in this matter. All who desire to enjoy a hearty laugh are referred to the explanation made by General Cass, on Monday, in the Senato, wherein they will see that the unlucky Cheva- lier’s statements with reference to that gentle- man are wholly made up of imaginary facts. There is an United States statute imposing heavy punishment on an American citizen who takes the liberty of interfering with the negotiations of his Government with foreign Powers; and but for the fact that the Cheva- lier, by his own showing, places himself be- | Prove fore the world in an attitude so ridiculous as to prove at a glance that he is perfectly harm- less when essaying to indulge in his favorite pastime, it seems to us that it would be clearly the Government’s duty to cause his prompt punishment under that law. The Marine Hospital Question.—Congress have caused marirfe hospitals to be built in all quarters of the country. The construc- tion of quite a number of them has been or- dered only by *‘ log rolling,’’ after the fashion in which river and harbor bills are worked through the House. Gentlemen ambitious of doing something for bunkum, manage to in- duce the enactment of appropriations for ma- rine hospitals in their respective districts, by giving glowing descriptions of their wants in that connection. It not unfrequently turns out that, after large amounts of public money have been spent to erect the necessary build- ings, and heavy salaries have been paid for superintendents, physicians, stewards, nurses, and laborers, to keep the hospitals in opera- tion, the number of patients treated in them is actually so small as that Government would save money by boarding all of them at the highest price hotels within one hundred miles of the hospitals in question, and paying for the services of physicians and nurses the highest prices charged anywhere. In more or lesa of these marine hospitals it actually costs ten times as much to take care of the sick sailor, as in those wherein there are a suffi- cient number of patients really to justify their establishment and maintenance. The Secretary of the Treasury has asked Congress to permit him to clese such of them as are evidently a mere tax on the treasury without being a corresponding benefit to the marine or waterman-public; providing, of course, amply for the real necessities of suf- fering sailors in such districts of country when so doing. The wisdom of his reeom- mendation is not to be doubted. But Bunkum sternly says—No. Bunkum is stronger than the Secretary, by long odds. If it cost the Treasury ten times as much to take care of sick sailors in some of these hospitals as it would cost to board them at the Astor or St. Nicholas, and to pay the first physicians in Mew York to attend them, Bunkum would probably hold on to every hospital of the sort now in operation; and Bunkum will surely put in operation an unlimited additional num- ber of them. At many points they are great blessings, because @ sufficient number of pa- tients are found in them to make their main- tenance wise and philanthropic. At other points where they are now kept open by law, they are little more than sheer pretences for the useless waste of public money. That’s clear. Important Debate.—The English. papers received by the America give reports of the debate in the House of Commons on the 15th ult , on Mr. Roebuck’s motion for the produc- tion of the correspondence between Great Britain and the United States on the Enlist- ment question, with the instructions to Mr. Crampton. Lord Palmerston’s reply was sin- gularly evasive, and it appears that he in- tended to divert the charges by impeaching the personal character of the witnesses, by whom his unsuspecting envoy here was led astray! He said: “« During the course of the transactions, of- fers were repeatedly made to her Majesty’s officers in the United States by persons whose sole object was to entrap them into something which might afterwards be construed into a violation of the municipal law of the States. A conspiracy was got up for the purpose of en- trapping and misleading them, and inducing them to do that which might afterwards be fastened upon them as s violation of the na- tional laws.’’ It is worse than idle for the British minis- try te essay to shield themselves under the conspiracy plea, and by attempting to im- peach the character of the witnesses for the prosecution, who are men of quite as much standing as those who were employed as the agents of Britain throughout the enlistment affair. There stands Mr. Crampton’s letters and instructions, a description of proof (in all respects ample to justify all that this Govern- ment has done in the premises,) perfectly un- answerable. By the by, the trick of sending a large body of troops to Canada is merely a repetition of the trick of sending a large fleet to the West Indies. As that latter was designed to frigh- ten this Government from demanding Mr. | Crampton’s recall, so the former is intended evidently to prevent the President from insist- ing on his recall or sending him home. We feel assured that it will fail as signally as did the fleet dodge. it is understood in London, thatMr Cramp- ton intended making an elaborate defence of his conduct, in answer to Mr. Marcy’s des- patch of the twenty-eighth of December, and that on receiving it Lord Clarendon would attempt a defence, after which the point of recall would be definitely closed either by England or by this country.

Arrest of Alleged Mail Robbers at Cum- berland.—We learn from the Baltimore Sun that at the instance of Col. James L. Maguire, the efficient United States special mail agent, twomen named George Newell alias Anne- ville, and Lloyd Dowden, were arrested at Cumberland, Md., on the 26th ult., by the Deputy Marshal for that town, on the charge of committing depredations on the mails pass- ing through the Cumberland post office. By the way, woe have been asked repeat- edly, if this special agent, Col. Maguire, is Lieut. James Maguire, of this city. He is not. Col. James L. Maguire, the special agent of the Post Office Department, is a na- tive citizen of Maryland, or of this District, and is one of the best officers in the service. Lieut. James Maguire, of this city, has never beon employed as a regular agent of the De- partment; but on one or two occasions has been sent to California, as route agent, in charge of the mails. Hence the mistake in confounding these two gentlemen. He is not now connected in any way with the Post Of fice Department. Senator Rusk.—The action of the Senate, yesterday, in so promptly passing the bill of Senator Rusk, appropriating $80,000, for the fortifieation of Galveston harbor, shows con- clusively the great weight of that gentleman in the national councils. The passage of such a bill through either House of Congress on the day in which it was introduced, is an occur- rence before unheard-of in the legislation of the Government, if we are not greatly mista- ken. We cannot doubt that it will shortly pass the House of Representatives, also. President’s Receptions.—The President will give a public reception at the Executive Mansion on Friday evening of this week as usual, but from that time, until further no- tice, the receptions will be on alternate Fri- days, instead of every Friday as heretofore. The Report.—It was understood about the House hall this morning, that ex-Governor Reeder it himself the writer and author of the report of the majority of the clections eommittee in his case made to-day. Resignation of an Army Officer.—The re- signation of Second Lieut. William K. Lear, third artillery, has been accepted by the President, to take effect April 1, 1856.

In the Senate, yesterday, after wo went to press, the debate upon the Illinois contested election case, was continued by Messrs. But- ler, Toucey, Seward and Crittenden; in favor of Mr Trumbull’s right tothe seat, and by Mr. Pugh against it. They then adjourned without taking the final question. In the House, the question was put on the third reading of the deficiency bill; and it was not ordered—yeas 53, nays 110. Mr. Greenwood moved to reconsider that vote. On this motion a debate sprung up on the clause of the said bill authorising the Secre- tary of the Treasury to close marine hospi- tals, and provide otherwise for those entitled to be taken care of in them wherever it may be advieable so to do, in which Messrs. Letch- er, Millson, H.

SOUTHWORTH’S NEW BOOK, INDIA, just RETTES and for sale at SHILLINGTON’S Bookstore. «< ‘India; the Pearl of Pearl River,’ it ah inall, is the best work Mrs. Southworth bas | written. Itis one great merit in her fictions that they faithfully delineste life and manners, without entering on vexed social, religious, or political issues, In ‘India,’ the reader wil! find a vivid delineation of the Southwest. Bat this is not all; the charaeters are boldly drawn, the in- cidents natural, and the action of the rapid and absorbing. The two heroines are finely con- trasted. The hero is a noble creation, strong of will, earnest in purpose, firm for the right, and pares to the end ia whatever he believes to justice and truth We cannot recall, in any late work, a character so —, dofty, ed 20 faithful to reality. The heroic spfrit in whieh he goes west, abandoning the luxuries he had been accustomed to, and down in his rade log hut, determined to conquer fortune with his owa good right hand, is, indeed, the true type of a self-relying American. No fiction of Mrs South- worth’s bears such s of careful finish. It ht on those se: accounts to have a popu- larity unrivalled by any of her former works, mplte Sf, the immense circulation they have at- tal . Allor any of Mrs Southworth’s other works can be had at SHILLINGTON’S Booksell’ng and Stationery establishment, Odeon building, Penn nyeneh, Cornet bit Meee. —_—_-_ INFANT SCHOOL. — 4 RAWLINGS TAKES- MSS wiof! her and hed opened an INFANT 1 BECO t sy her residence on between 7th and 8th streets, Ne. 23, for which she solicits their Pele, Moons without board. ished or unfurnished, to let, furnish: ere cone . ——e———!:!:2qe"———....
