Perea tenapern min eae NEW YORK HERALD. ——_= —— New Verk, Wednesday, January 10, 1544. =e eee Curious and Impo:tan¢from the Far West— Mormon Movement tu the West similar to the Fourlerite Movement tn the East. We publish to-day several documents and pa- pers, detailing the more recent movements of the Mormons in the capital of the new empire in the West, called Nauvoo, or th city of beauty and blessedness. These papers contain full accounts of the singular movements of this most singular peo- ple. It appears that the Mormons, under the gui- dance of Presideat Joe Smith, are constantly en- gaged in a species of border warfare with the peo- ple of Missouri, and whilst waging this war in all sorts of ways, the Prophet himself is very busy en- lightening the world, by conducting a correspon dence with the seekers of the trnth in other quar- ters—thus carrying like Mahomet the sword in one han, and his written revelation in the other. If we correctly understand the provisions made bythe Gity of Nauvoo, it would seem that, in order to protect the Prophet hereafter from trou- blesome attempts at kidnapping, or arrest by the Missouri authorities, they have created a tribunal, and have already in a state of efficient organization a large military force, by which they mean to carry their own views into operation, and resist uggres- sion and annoyance, from whatever quarter they | may be presented, And it is thus quite possible, that, in case turther attempts be made by the Mis- | sonri authorities to arrest Smith, some physical collision may take place, and according to all ap- pearances, they are still intent upon his arrest. So much for the external relations of this new empire which has arisen in the West. As respects their | interaal condition and their prosperity, it would | w. seem that the Mormons are waxing stronger | every day, and spreadiag in ail directions, | notwithstanding all the opposition which | they have met, and in spite of all the charges urged against them of superstition, im- morality, ignorance and folly. One of the most curtous developments on these points, is contained | in the correspondence which we give between the | Prophet and James Arlington Bennet, of Long | Island. This singular ecrrespondence is now, we believe, published for the first time in this part of the country, and is particularly interesting and vu- luable at the present moment, in showing how the- elogical controversy is conducted in the far west, | whilst Drs. Wainwright and Potts are enlightening us in so edifying a manner on the same subject here in the east This Mormon movement is very remarkable in another point of view. The Prophet and his fol- lowers seem to have a good deal in common with the great Fourierite movement in this part of the country ; yet there are some antagonistic princi- ples also, although the general purpose of both may be thesame. Both movements aim at the attain- ment of comfort—harmony—wealth—happiness here, and as much blessedness hereafier as they Can expect to enjoy. The principles on which the Mormon social organization has been eflected, are in some respects similar, and in other Tespects dis- similar to hose of Fourier, as expounded, illustra ted and defined by Brisbane and Greeley and their philosophic associates. The Mormons have esta- blished a capital city, which they call Nauvoo, and where their great temple is at present in éourse of erection—where their Sanhedrim have been organ ized, and which is to he the great centre of the new empire now extending itself over the world Bat in their social habits and customs they appear to retain more of the present state of society than the principles of Charles Fourier would warrant. The beautifnl ‘sensuous harmonies” and the grand “‘concentrated unity of elemental dis cord,” do not appear to be studied by the Mormon- ites. In short they have more good sense, though less philosophy than the Fourierites. One remark- able feature, however, common to both, is the manner in which they are endeavoring to subdue | to ‘heir purposes the influence of the politicians. Recently, Joe Smith announced that they had made noselection of a Presidential candidate, and meant to hold themselves in reserve until they ascertained which was most friendly to their cause; thereby clearly giving out the idea that they intended to hold the balance of power in Illinois and the States where they had converts and disciples. The Fon- rierites have been pursuing precisely the same. policy, only they have now gone so faras to declare their preference for Mr. Clay. On the whole, both of these movements—the one in the western and the other in the eastern section of the Union, begin to excite much attention in | the philosophical, religious and moral world. And they are eminently deserving of observation and study. They are new and remarkable develop- ments of human nature, under new circumstances, and with none of those checks or hindrances by which the despotic governments of the old world have cramped and fettered the movements of | mind, We believe that we have done much al- | ready to present, with clearness and fidelity, the views, principles and progress of these extraordinary movements, and we shall continue thus to exhibit | them as they come forth before the country and | the world. Post Orrice Rerorm.—John Jones, of the ‘ Ma- disonian,” announces that a plan of Post Office re- form is soon to be introduced into Congress, and givessome description of its principal features. I! will be quite an ultra reform, it would appear Amongst other changes, it is proposed to abolish the privileges now enjoyed by newspapers, ot hav- ing subscriptions transmitted free, under the frank of apostmaster, and alsoto subject their exchan- Bes to postage. We are perfeetly willing that this should be done, provided the postage be reduced to a low uniform rate, and that on the principal routes news- papers be conveyed in packages at no higher cost of transportation than ordinary merchandise. As to cutting off the free exchanges, that is very little matter indeed. It would only subject a paper here to the additional expense of a few dollars a week. Certainly we should never allow this consideration to operate for a moment against a great, compre- hensive and thorough reform. Let us have the postage reduced, aud the department reformed at onee Mixe Wats makes his triainphant entrée into the city to-day. The respectable body of citizens known as the ** Spartan Band,” are to meet himon horseback and in carriages, at the landing opposite Blackwell's Island, and with the military compa- nies who are to join them, will escort him thence tothe Park. It will be another edition in little of Napoleon’s return from the Isle of Elba. Important Lectvxe at tHe Lyceum.—We un- derstand that the Rev. Orville Dewey will deliver to-night (Wednesday) at the Tabernacle, Broad. way, a lecture upon the subject of American M rails and Manners. We hear, further, that this lec- ture consist of a defence of this country from abusive slanders of particularly a the wil th an letter writers, and Sydaey Smith’s at and honor of Pennsylvania There is no doubt a great deal may be said upon less doubt, that Mr. Dewey, who isa man of eminent talent, will do justice to it; but we fancy that the best lecture up- on that part of the subject will be for the state of Pennsylvania to pay the Rev. Sydney Smith, and all the claimants upon it. That would Stop their mouths at once. Mosiricevr Di nrope sinat Rev tacks upon the credit this sabject, and we have « NATION understand that Jacob Little, Esq., of the house of Jacob Little & | Co. in Wall street, has given $5,000 to the New York Institation for the Blind Governor or Massacnusetrs.—George N.

Svow Sronm.—The storm of the season began vesterday morning at 94 o'clock Apainistration or Justicn—Tue Covet or Sxs- sions—Tirg Case or Moses Y. Bractt AND OTHERS. —Yesterday the case of Moses Y. Beach for sen- tence, was again called up, and again postponed | till Friday. During the last six months, this cuse has been postponed from time to time by the Court, under the plea that a civil suit existed, and they could not proceed to judgment until that should be disposed of. This cause being removed, the reason assigned now is the time required by the Court to read some affidavits in miligation, On this matter, we find several notices in the evening papers, from which it would appear that a very curious interest pervades the community— much more than we take or care about the whole affair. The following is from the Evening Post:— Gexenat Sessions—This Day—Before the Recorder and Aldermen Purdy and Vandervoort. ‘The Court having announced that they would proceed to-day to pass sentence upon Moses Y. Beach, at an early hour the Court room was crowded with anxious specti- tors. At!2 o'clock, the Court assembled. ‘The Recorder stated that affidavits in mitigation of punishment, having been putin this morning, and they having had but litte time to examine them, they had determined to defer pas- sing sentence until Friday next. The following is from the American:— Guxrnat Srssions.—There was a large attendance of the curious this morning, anxious to hear the judgment of the Court in the case o! the People vs. Moses Y. Beach, for libel. At the opening of the Court the defendant ap- peared with his counsel, The Recorder stated that the Court had received quite a voluminous collection of aftidavits in mitigation of pun- ishment, and, therefore, would postpone the sentence of Mr Beach until Friday’ morning. 7 ately dispersed, and the Court pro h the ordmary business, The following is from the Commercial Adver- tiser:— Goxeuat Sessions—Tos Day.—This being the day fix. ed upon for passing sentence on Moses Y. Beach, for a Jon the wife of James G. Bennett, the Court was crowded with curious expectants, and many conjectures ere expressed in whispers, as to the severity, or other- vise, of the sentence abuut to be passed. Mr Beach him- self, “the observed of all obser .” sitting just without the space allotted to the bar, waited in seeming uncencern the pleasure of the Recorder. After enduring for some time the suspense which his situation was calculated to excite, he was relieved by the Recorder stating that in consequence of the voluminous affidavits offered in miti- gation of the offence, the Court would require time to read them, and would defer sentence until Friday morning next. Mr Beach, over whose countenance passed a sick- ly smile, rose and with his friends left the Court. Immediately after these proceedings, the Court | went to work on the cases of other prisoners, and dispatched them with a promptitude and decision quite creditable to their high character and stern equity, as follows:— Srrciat Skssions—~Before Recorder Tallmadge, and Alderman Purdy and Vandervoort. Charles Rollins, was tried for stealing from the brij Robert Hammond, a piece of sail duck, worth $8, Found guilty and sent to the city prison for one week. Lalay etve Cady, for stealing a coat worth $9, from H. Boyd.“ Guilty—enitentiary four months. Elizabeth Brooks and Hannah Williams, two colored females, for stealing two frocks, a quilt, and a shaw! from the premises oi James Wilmvt. Guilty—Penitentiary three months each. Agnes Hughes, for stealing three frocks, a pair of boots ont umbrella, {rom Robert Anderson, worth $5. Guilty— City Prison fonrteen days. Abraham Grittin, colored man, for stealing a half chest of tea, worth $14, from Grinnell, Minturn & Co. Guilty, but remanded James Sherwood, a lad, for stealing some canvass from on boarda brig Gnilty—Penitentiary two months. John Moore, a colored man for stealing a tub from 55th street, and four fowls from Thomas Cornett. Guilty— Penitentiary three months Isaac Thompson, colored, for stealing a blanket from William J. Frost." Guilty—Penitentiary three months, George Rierson, for stealing some rigging from Daniel Jackson. Guilty—-City Prison ten days. Delia Thompson, a colored woman, for stealing a coat from Hamilton King. Guilty—Penitentiary three mouths, Peter Alexis, for stealing the skirts of John Pro’s coat. Guilty—Penitentiary two months. These persons, men and women, were poor devils, and could not afford to have affidavits put in by way of mitigation, or pay counsel feee to cavil on points of law, and thereby procure post- ponements. Of course the punishment follows the offence—like the report the flash of the percussion lock—or the thunder the lightning. Moses Y. Beach is altogether a different personage. He is set down in the “Book of Wealth,” published by himself, to be worth $150000—he is the proprietor of several capitul banks, ex- cellently adapted for shaving the poor out of a quarter or half per cent on their hard earn- ings every Saturday. The Ulster Bank—the Jacksonville Bank—the Malone Bank—the Plain- field Bank—are the names of banks in which he has been concerned, one of which, ihe Jackson- ville, broke one day and left its remains upon the community. Of course these features make all the difference in the world—and so they ought. On Friday another great effort is to be made with what success time will tell.; Wars anp Rumors or War.—The holy war which has broken out between the Episcopalians and the Puritans, with Doctor Wainwright at the | head of the first, and Doctor Potts at the head of the second force, is creating a great sation in this excitable community. On this subject we have received the following articles already :— Another War about Nothing POTTS AND KETTLES Tue Rev. Mas. Peter Bustix to Rev. J. G, Bernerr Rav. axp Dean Sin : 1 am informed from an authentic source, that you stated upon a late occasion that there could not, in these latter days, be “a lady without a bustle.” and | now call upon you for an acknowledgment or denial of that fact.

Tue Pomeroy Exrness Ropsexy.—The mysteri- ous robbery of the trunk under the charge of Mr. Copp, seems to be thickening onevery side. But of all accounts we have seen, the most perplexing and contradictory are those published in the news- papers as coming from Buffalo, Rochester and the Western part of this State. We have already pub- lished an account of the arrest of Mr. Rust, the , Proprietor of the Syracuse House, and also of Mr. | Banks—their transportation from Syracuse to Buf- falo in the dead of night, and their discharge on account of no evidence appetring aguinst them. Yet it seems very strange that in the Courier and several other papers, statements have been made and particulars given not only implicating Mr. Rust, but persons of the most respectable char- acter in this city—we allude to the Messrs. Howard of Howards’ Hotel. At the very first moment when we heard of these statements we | discredited them altogether, and every new de- | velopment, and every new fact confirms, more and | more, that first impression of unbelief. Indeed it would appear from the statements of the Courier | and other papers, that these rumors and reportshave | sprung from a common source, for they bear an | identity, and there isa common mystery respeet- | ing the origin and circulation of them, which pro- bubly Mr. Rust and the Messrs. Howard will en- | deavor to dispel, and discover the true authors in a few days. We have heard a great many particulars about this business, and the mnovements of these gentle- men, but we cannot communicate it at present. But it is expected that Mr. Rust hismseif will soon be here, as in a letter received last evening, and addressed to a daughter, who is at a boarding school in this city, he states that he intended to be here in a few days, and mentions that he was ar- rested without a shadow of reason or law. In | some quarters it is stated that all this affair about Mr. Rust, originated in an attempt ata hoax ; but that 1s indeed a very criminal sort of way to create humor or fun, and if so will, it is to be hoped, be properly punished. Other rumors bring into the drama a female named Leggett, who is represent- ed as the most extraordinary character in her line in this country. She has, it seems, been often em- ployed by forgers in this and other States to coun- terfeit the signatures of different individuals, and succeeds, it is said, to a very remarkable extent. It is very probable that all the affair about Mr. Rust was originated by the real culprits, in the hope of giving a false scent and covering their own mis- | deeds. Another story was im circulation last evening | that the Mayor and police authorities had been in | secret session, examining some persons. The fact simply was, that the younger Mr. Howard, on his | return from the West, had been requested to call | at the Mayor’s office, and was privately examined relative to the trunk ; but nothing implicating him- self or any one, was elicited. At present the whole affair is in greater mystery than ever. Copp is now with his family in Troy, and has given up the express business altogether. Some suppose the trunk was taken long before the boat reached the city. In relation to the arrest and discharge of Mr Rust, we annex the following statements, which are conclusive as to his inno- cence :— To tHe Pvatic.—We, the undersigned, citizens ol Syracuse and Auburn, having received information tend ing to involve Mr. Philo N. Rust, of said village of Syra cuse, in participating, either directly or indirectly, in the late robbery of the ‘Trunk of R. Pomeroy & Co., do here- hy certify, that we this day proceeded to Rochester, (where we ascertained the rumor upon this subject had originated) for the purpose of investigating the whole mat- ter, with the sole and entire view, on our part, of forming the best judgment in our power with regard to the guilt nocence of Mr. Rust, from such an examination at on our arrival at Rochester, we proceeded to as- o'far is it was possible to do under the ind from such examination, the under ned (being all of the citizens of Syracuse and Auburn, si who went to Rochester for this purpose) have no hesita tion in expressing our decided opinion, that the suspi cions against Mr. Rust are destitute of any foundation whatever, and that the rumors upon this subject had their origin in an attempt. which we understand was par tially successful, to impose upon the credulity of certain weak-minded individuuls, who, under the expectation of ing the lara remand which i recovery af the salen property, waslly Tel ae Tet or the which had been artfully set for them. We therefore take great pleasure in assuring the public of oxrentire confidence, not only in the innocence ol Mr Rust in this case, but our unwavering conviction, de rived from a jong, and intimate acquaintance with him that he is incapable of either committing or being acces sory to acrimina} or dishonorable act. |".

Rust having been arrest ed upon suspicion of being, in some way implicated in the Jate robbery of Pomeroy & Co , appeared before the Police Justice of this city to answer the complaint. The District Attorney stated that the first intimation he had received {the issuing of the warrant was after the cars arrived in which Mr. Rust came, that he had since examined the matter, and if he had been consulted prior to issuing the warrant he should not have advised it, and declined enter ng upon any examination. He also stated, in substance it was due Mr. Rust to say, there were no facts within his, knowledge to juatify the issuing the warrant. ‘The counsel for Mr. Rust insisted upon an examination and the production of the affidavits or other evidence upon which the warrant issued ; that it might be seen upon what evidence so gross a charge rested. ‘The District Attorney replied that there were no affidat i and as no one was willing to appear as com| plainant or prosecutor, the Justice decided that he coul do nothing more, and discharged Mr. Rust. The undersigned, citizens of Rochester, deem it due to the occasion and to the individual, to make this statement and to express not only their confidence in the entire ab- sence of any well founded sus) hut their great regret, to use no harsher term, that any re- spectable individual should be taken from his residence and transported through the country upon so grave a charge, not only without evidence of guilt, but without evidence justifyiag suspicion of offence.

Dated Rocuester, January 6, 1844, On this subject the “ American” of yesterday thus remarks:— A reputable citizen, for aught that is known to the con trary, has been arrested as a robber, without any affidavit, and, so far as appears, upon the mere caprice, suspicion or reveny ome individual unnamed! and biished thronghont the country, with all sorts of details, as a robber, a gambler, and the keeper of a house of resort for all sorts of unprincipled men. The Courier of this morning has a long account of the supposed misdeeds in this matter, of Rust, and of the bad company he ha bitnally entertains, andthe Journal of Commerce also presents like facts as connected with this robbery. These could not, one would think, all be invented ; and yet, if accurate. or in part accurate, these would or should have been known and put forth in evidence when Rust reached Rochester under arrest. But not a partic’ of accusation was made. Either, then, as we said at the beginning, a most cruel wrong has been done to Mr. Rust by the arrest—or, through a corrupt connivance, the evi dence upon which this arrest was made, has been with- held, and the party been discharged. ‘This must be eluci dated, As the matter now stands, Mr Rust mustfte deem ‘ed an innocent and much injured man.

Drar Six :-— [have arrived at this place, and have ascertained that the examination will not take place until to- morrow. A strange feeling has possessed the Islanders in behalf of the “Herald,” in consequence of the remarks made in your columns in regard to the individuals who endeavored to palm on you the pretended confessions of Polly Bodine, which are totally false, being fabricated for the purpose of extorting money from the New York press. She has this day denied to her counsel, R. N. Morrison, Esq., of New York, that she has ever made such a confession as that published. She declares that the report of her setting fire to the premises in Sprin, street for Waite is false in every particular, and that she never gave utterance to any thing of the kind—that the whole is a fabrication, and was got up for some pecuniary purpose by some inha- bitants of this vicinity.” She has only beeu en- ciente by him once, the result of whieh was the still-born infant. Any future reputed con- fessions that may be published by the same paper that made public the false story on Monday should not be believed, as her counsel has advised her to keep still, and answerno questions or have any conversation with any one. After returning from the jail l was invited to visit the most extra~ ordinary sight ever known during the history of this island. It was no more or lessthan astill-born calf, on the farm of Capt. John M. Post. It had the head of a bull dog, the right ear that of a dog, and the left that of a hog—the neck to the centre bone of the breast was that of a human being—the tore legs were natural to a calf—the hind quarters resembled those ofa hog,with a pig’s tail, and with all the other peculiarities. It was an hermaphro- dite. The cow that gave it birth was five years old, and Grey has produced bona fide, legiti- mate calves, ¢ leave the cause that produced this extraordinary non-descript to be discovered by those whose profession leads them into the neces- sary examinations. We learn that it will soon be exhibited to the curious at Barnum’s American Museum. ‘The examination commences to-morrow, and [ shall, xs usual, keep you informed of every par- ticular up to the Jast moment. Musical and ‘I heatrical. It appears from all accounts that the genius of Ole Bull, having first captivated the people of the north, and ‘‘ won golden opinions from all sorts of men” there, is pursuing the same process in the south, On Friday, the 5th of January, he gave a concert before a distinguished and crowded audito- ty at Charleston, from whom his ethereal strains elicited unbounded admiration. We cannot, how- ever, better describe the impression which he pro- duced than by quoting the following graphic critique from one of the papers published in that city :— Ole Bull appeared last evening at the new theatre to a numerous and enraptured audience. Itis difficult to con- vey the impression which his wonderful execution pro: duced en us, He appeared not merely as the accomplish- | ed artist, acquainted with the resources of his art, the in- tricacies of harmony and the powers of his instrument, but truly as the inspired musician—as one who felt in the | recesses of his mind all that was capable of embodiment | in music. It waa to us the poetry of sound, put into ac- | tion. The performances of finished artistical skill are al- most of every day occurrence, but it is rarely thut the in- | stinct of genius adds expression to the elaboration of art, and when the combination presents itself, as in the case of Ole Bull, the mind realizes all that the imagination can picture to itself of the luxury of sound. Itis to be regret- ted that this gifted artist c annot prolong his stay among us until all classes of our citizens who appreciate the beauties of instrumental harmony, have heard the strains that belong to it in its most inspired mood and character. Tue Herren Arnovp—the German Quartetto, are now at Savannah, Geo., giving concerts at the Theatre, with unbounded success. They created an extraordinary musical excitement during their stay at Charleston, and drew together 2000 persons —the largest musical concourse ever known in that city—at their Musical Soirée for the benefit of the Temperance Soctety. On the same evening Ma- dame Cinti DamoreauandMons. Artot,gave a grand Concert, at which ahey. also volunteered in several pieces, and met with most glorious reception. hen are we to have these distinguished per- formers among us ? .

He will be sustained by the whole troupe, and more especially by ‘ranklin, whose unprecedent@l double somerseta, snaking two evolutions in the air without touching, at hi benefit, created so extraordinary a sensation.

Wasuieton, Jan 8, 1844. James G. Bennerr, Esa. Dear Sir— John C. Spencer’s appointment to the United arranged to States Judiciary was sent in to the Senate this day, as I-have already notified you that it would be. Should he be confirmed—as seems probable—his place will then become vacant, and not before Therefore, as there is no reason to suppose the Pre- sident wishes to get rid of Mr, Spencer in any | other manner, there will of course be no one ap- | pointed to succeed him as Secretary of the Trea- | sury until his confirmation by the Senate. There | is a delay, to act upon the appointments of Messrs. | Porter and Henshaw, and therefore there may be { delay in acting upon the appointment of Mr. Spen- | cer. Consequently, I do not think the President is | in any pressing haste to fix upon a new Secreta: of the Treasury. There are a thousand rumors afloat, but sensible people will not give heed to them. 3 " Of one thing you may be pretty certain, relative | to the action of the Senate, not only in the matter | of appointments, but also in all matters of legisla- | tion—and not only to the action of the Senate, but to the action of the House, also—I mean to say, all the important measures agitated and acted upon by this Congress will be with reference to the next Presidency—they will be so many shotted guns ee! for Presidential candidates, not pro pub- a A very important debate, and one which will be read with great interest, sprung up to-day in the Senate, upon the instructions to Mr. Everett on the Oregon boundary treaty. Two or three points are worthy of notice on this subject—the kindly and | courteous bearing of the whig Senators towards | the President—a somewhat different bearing on the part of some of the western democratic Sena- , tors, indicating a pretty strong want of confidence | in hin—a deep belligerent feeling towards England | on the part of these same western democratie Sen- ators, which latter also exhibit a hot spirit of deter- mination to possess the Oregon Territory, nolens volens, negociation or no negociation, treaty or no treaty, war or no war. | The West is a young giant already—even now al- most big enough to whip its eastern parent—destin- ed in a few short years to control the whole United States, even without the accession of the Oregon | Territory; but with the Oregon—with a steam com- munication to the mouth. of the Columbia river— } and with a comparatively short and easy commu- nication to the East Indies from thence. What will the West be then? I know not what it will be, | but I know it will shortly control the United | States. : | No wonder western men feel deeply on this sub- | ject. Every word spoken to-day by Messrs Allen | and Benton was like the liquid lava from the mouth of an overflowing voleano. They exhibit about as much respect and courtesy for old England asa lo- comotive would to a bull upon a rail road track. “Get out of the way, or be run over,all the same to us,go ahead!” They would go to war withEngland, and take it out in a rough and tumble fight, just as readily and rampantly as David Crockett would | have done with a bear. Messrs. Archer, Critten- den, Berrien, Morehead, Rives and others, tried to soothe and calmt hem down; but it was like patting | the back ofa bull dogwhen his blood is hot—he must | fight first—and be soothed afterwards. I verily believe if Sir Robert Peel, or Lord Palmerston had come within arm’s length of Mr. Allen to-day, there would have been a second edition of Jonah ; and the whale, grease or no grease. | Tam told that there 1s a battle-of-New-Orleans | 8th-of-January supper down at the Apollo this eve- ning, but it ts said to be.a small affair. I can’t find any democratic member who knows any thing about it. There has, I believe, been some mis- management about it. It was first determined to make it a ball; but was indiscreetly changed into a supper. And as soon as the ladies were excluded. or rather bartered for wine, (if they have any), all interest died.

Peritions—Mr. Wricur presented a petition from Samuel Thompson, eeINew, York, for pay- ment of a certain per centage due him in the mat- ter of the custom house. Also, a petition from certain hardware merchants of New York, for re- duction of duties on iron.

Numerous other petitions were presented, of lo- cal interest, relative to the Wabash Canal, Erie Harbor, &c. : Resonurions Susmrrrep. Mr. Semrrx submit- lies over:— ted the following, whic! Resolved, That the President of the United States be requested to give notice to the British Government that it isthe desire of the Government of the Untted States to annul and abrogate the provisions of the third article of the convention concluded between the Government of | the United States of America and_his Britannic Majesty the King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ire- { land on'the 20th Oct., 1818, and indefinitely continued | between the same parties, signed at London the 6th Aug., | 1927. Mr. AxLEN submitted the following, which lies | over!— Resolved, That the President be requested to inform the Senate, if it be in his power to do so, whether any of | | y of the Indians resident withm | the territorial limits of the United States, are in the re. | i | ceipt, periodically or occasionally, of any msi pay or present, iu money or in other things, from the Brilish Go. vernment; and ifso, that he be requested to state the par- ticnlars; also, whether the Government of the United States has had any correspondence with the British Go- vernment in relation to that matter; and, in that event, | that he be requested to lay before the Senate a copy ol | such correspondenc Spencer’s Aprorntment.—Lere Mr. John Tyler, Jr. presented certain messages from the President, in writing. Instructions to Mr. Evererr.—The_ regular course of business here brought up Mr. Allen’s re- solution, calling upon the President for a copy of ; letter of instruction and correspondence, relative | to the Oregon boundary question. | Mr. Auten said he rose to correct a mistake he had made the other day relative to the person who had made the statement alluded to in a British re- port. It was not made by the present prime minis- ter of England, Sir Robert Peel, but by Lord Pal- merston. Mr. Allen proceeded to read from a cor- rected British report a declaration made on the | 21st March, 1843, by one who then stood at the | head of foreign affairs, and now at the head of | a powerful party (Palmerston.) It is the declara- | tion of one who is of as great importance as any | man in England, with the exception of the Prime | Minister. (The extract which Mr. Allen read | was published in the Herald at the time.] | Mr. Aucen then proceeded to read_another part ; of the discussion. Peel’s answer to Palmerston’s, relative to the action of this goverament—it comes | from the throne, and is equine a speech from the | Giusert herself. (Mr. Allen reads again, which the Herald has also pastater J In resuming, Mr. Allen said:—We have it then from this high au- | thority, that the President must veto any bill passed | by Congress, hecause,forsooth,there are to be nego- ciations on this question, and peace must be pre- served. It is proper we should know the state and progress of these negociations so deeply aflecting the titles to. our own territory. These questions are of too high moment to be transacted behind the back of the people. They affect the sove- reignty of the States. Ashburton’s treaty total failed. He came to negociate all questions of dil. ficulty between the two countries—to establish a broad and permanent peace. But this treaty con- tains within itself more causes of war than itpro- fessed to settle. The Prime Minister himself said tn his place that there was a difference of construc: | tion, on important parts of the treaty by the two governments. New negociations are, therefore, | vecessary, and we are threatened with u war if we | don’tcomply with certain terms, and surrender a part of our territory. They say ‘it is impossible that the President should not veto a bill to take pos- | session of the Oregon Territory.” So here we | have it. The President has already given away | 3,400,000 acres of our territory, and now we must give to England another pra slice, | his } } | or have a. declaration of war. | is no} party question. The President is not now ubject to party influence, and 1, therefore, more freely. And I tell Sir Robert Peel, | that he will never see the day [with great empha- | sis) that a treaty will be ratified by this body which shall surrender one square inch of the Oregon T'er- ritory. We lostpart of the State of Maine by the | word ‘Negociation.” Great Britain claimed a part of Maine, and we negociated because she ‘laimed, and Jost the Territory because we nego- siated. And now she claims a part of Oregon— ind because she claims it, the President has con- sented to negociate—and the conseqnence, as be- ore, of his negociation, willbe the loss of more ter- ‘itory. No—let us tell Great Britain that this is not 1 question f/ r negociation at all. She might claim half the United States, but would that be a reason why we should negociate upon such arrogant pre- tensions? T tell you [emphatically] the West will never surrender this territory. Mr. Arcuer, (in veryfeeble health), here rose | and stated that he had that official inform communi Honorable Senator from Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relat [Correspondence of the Herald.) ty form him that there pend! tion This governinent wished to hold ne | There is no negociati | given as the mere bas | carried on—that is all— |‘ cizing.” I have yet twelve close page | whigs appear to oppose it. | free and full privilege of the ‘floor of the | Madison, whenever 8! te, which might bably satisfy the ee m Ohio CAllen’} And as the xe could officially, from the President himself, in- were no negociatigns at present with Great Britain upon the Oregon ques- ocla- ons upon the question in England, but it had been usfer them to Washington. If, said Mr. Archer, 1 understand the honorable Senator from Ohio, {Allen}, he wishes to obstruct ali negociations on this question. But has not England been in part posses- sion of this territory for tuirty years? And now up- on the eve of commencing an important negociation to settle the question finally—when the minister (Packen- ham) is about to set his foot upon our shores, if he has not already done so, is he to be told that we will have no dis- cussion upon the question at all? that we have taken the question into our own hands, and definitively settled it by resolving vi et armis to.possess the whole territory? I tell the Senator that I will not go into these questions. It is rash—impolitic—imprusent—wrong to ask for these in- structions at this stage of the proceedings, and I will have nothiug to do with it. It is not dignified for a grave body like this to go into these matters in this way, on the very point of time when negociutions are to begin. It may be alight matter for a western member, a representative of the overflowing chivalry af the great western country, to involve the nation ina war which would cause money to be expended all along its frontier, while the Atlantic States would be swept with the hesom of war. But f 0 into these questions—I will have nothing to do w with calling for these instructions. I have informed you otticiallythat there are no negociations yet begur, but that they are about tecommence. And to obstruct them now would be a just cause of war. Mr, Auvsn suid. the declarations which he referred to were "made by those gentlemen for the purpose of extort- ing negociaiions from us. But I don’t Yaileve there will be ga war very soon for refusing to negociate. Eng- Jand’s object in megecinne is, to bear off a portion of our territory. ‘e object. Then comes a homil: about peace. We are to be frightened like chil dren. “Yield or fight.” Does England ever settle a juarrel ? Does she not always kee eee pps ? Giode one—and open enothve? and bear off sommatven. a age at each negotiation for the settlement of her q Ashburton professed to have full powers to settle all dif culties—but it turned out that his powers were limited. Are we to be treated like children ? The Ashburton treaty was heralded to the world as settling a broad and sure peace, and yet, within the year, we are told by their own ministers that there is another ditliculty to be set- tled, which may be just cause of war, unless some wise Daniel comes from the East to arrange and negociate it. ‘The proper mode of settling this question is [significantly] tp ail it wittvobr people--end wien you. get men encugh then it will be easily settled, We are not to be told by the British minister that the President has taken a step which must prevent this body from acting at all on this question. I am for maintaining, unparcelled out, (with great em- hasix) every inch of territory belonging to this country. Then Mr. Allen alluded to another question whichG reat Britain would never settle, except at the mouth of the cannon—it was a necessary and inevitable cause of war— a rupture there must be with Great Britain—no crime on | either side—but the natural course of things would bring iton [Mr. A. was not understood to say what this was, but left it to be inferred.) Mr. A said he would not super- cede Executive action, but he desired that it might not commit the whole country. The Senate a right to actinthis treaty. 1 don’t believe the President would do aught to compromise the interests of this country—nor any other American, ef any kind of politics—but he may be'mistaken, as he was in the other treaty, I have been led to these remarks by the threats of the English Min- ister. Mr. Monrneap followed with some remarks upon the pegesation about to be entered into by Mr. Packcnham. It becomes us soto legislate upon this question as not to prejudice the discussions about to be commenced. There is no necessity to adopt this resolution. Why pass it ? pending. The instructions were on which negociations should be 1 learn from my friend (Archer.) I concur with him that it is impowsible that any President could carry on negociations which could by any possi- bility relinquish any of the rights or honor of this coun- try. Nor will 1 by any vote of mine pass censure, or even an insinuation against the motives of the President. Let the President proceed to negeciate, and if we think proper let us legislate; but let us not by our legislation asscensure upon the constitutional proceedings of the Executive. Iam not so sensitive as the gentleman from Ohio (Allen,] relative to what these English gentlemen have said. ‘The Government of a country is surely not to be held responsible for what individuals may choose to say. It is entitled to no consideration. Let the Senate pause—and let it leave the matter with the President,with perfect confidence that he will maintain the honor and dignity of the country. 5 rr ‘Benvor hereollowed with remarks upon the con- stitutional right of the Senate to ‘‘ advise” with the Presi dent. Referred to the old journal—Washington’s exam- ple, &c., said the Senate is under moral duress—he was for giving his advice beforehand—and, at all events, for know- ing what is going on. The great question is, whether this shall be a legislative or an executive question. Srvenat Sxnatons—That is the question. Mr. Berrien said—It is proposed to ask us for informa- tion to enable us to legislate. We haveno apn to ask it. He answered Mr. Burton about the early history of the Government. The debate was pursued at great length by Mesers. Ber- rien, Benton, Allen, Wandbury, Archer, den, Rives and Buchanan. Some considerable sharp- shooting occurred between Burton and Archer, in which the latter accused the former of “ democratizing,” and the former retorted by accusing the latter with “ aristocra- of notes, but it is too late to go over withthem. On taking the vote apon the resolution, it was lost 31 to 14—not@ political vote. | Many of the Senators voted against the resolution in thie | Legislative session, who will vote in favor of jt when it again comes up, as it Will in Executive Session.

When cited to appear and defend himself, he was contu- macious, and refused to answer; he stood before that Court and would make no defence.
