INTELLIGENCE BY THE FAILS. Galviensis and the Senate. Custopy of THe SERGEANT-AT-ARMS, ‘Waruneron, April 17, 1848. The object of my two examinations before the committees of the Senate, was, ostensibly, to exonerate, first the Senate, and afterwards, Mr. Buchanan. It has been seem thaton Monday, March 27, there was sufficient evidence before the Senate for both those purposes. Whatever excuse there might have been, at first, for insti- tuting the investigatioa, that excuse hid been wholly swept away by my voluntary testimony. But Mr. Polk and his friends were not yet sati: fied. From themoment Mr Buchanan’s exonera- tion was rendered complete, the affair assumed the complexion of a criminal proceeding against me. B«filed in pursuit of the Secretary of State, the whole Presidential pack, “‘mongrel, whelp, and hound,” united in an effort to hunt down an humble citizen; and a majority of the Senate suff>red themeelves to be tricked by their preju- dicesand their fears into a shameless and inde- cent crusade against a private individual—a vio- lation of personal liberty, so foul and indefenei- ble that they were obliged to inetruct their counsel to cite, as a precedent for the out- rage, the celebrated case of Duane, which is as odieus in this country as is the notori- ous Shafteebury case in England. Indeed, so monstrous did the assumption of power by the Senate appear, as asserted in the arrest of Mr Duane, that the people of Fhiladelphia assem bled in mass meeting to denounce the usurpa- tion, and in every State of the Union the con- duet of the Senate was censured in tones of loud and indignant menace; and yet the case of Mr Duane presents no such odious features as does the present. The debstes in secret session on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, the 27th, 28h, and 29th March, I desire to see before I comment upon. It may be thatthe Senate will not ven- ture to remove from them the seal of secresy, as they are absolutely revolting, from the furious malignancy stamped upon every detail. In that case, Iwill myself publish and comment upon them at length. On Thursday morning, at 9 o’clock, I was ar- rested while at breakfast, and conveyed to a room in the capitol, where [ was confined until half-past two. I was then conducted to the bar of the Senate, and was immediately addressed by the Vice-President, nearly in the following words :— “«Mr. Nugent—I am directed by the Senate to put to you the following interrogatories.” The Vice President proceeding to interrogate me, I stated I had a protest to hand in, which was read, and, on motion of Mr. Mangum, laid on the table. My demand that the Senate should decide viva voce on each of the points of law raised in the protest, wasrefused. I then asked to be intormed— First: By what authority of law I was arrest- ed and brought before that bar. Secondly: In what capacity I should consider myself as oppearing before that bar. Thirdly: If I was to consider myself as ap- pearing before a judicial tribunal, I esked that [ might be furnished with a copy of the rules of the court. No information could I obtain, however. The Senate refused even to spread my application on the record, and I was told my examination should proceed. I was in the act of writing down my anewer to the first question, when, on motion of Mr. Reverdy Johnson, who acted as prosecuting attorney on the occasion, I was re- moved from the bar. Upon being again condurt- ed before the Senate, I was required to lay my hand on the Testament, whilst the Vice-Presi- dent proposed to me, by direction of the Senate. acertain form of oath To this first oath, which the Senate wished to force upon me. I ask par- ticular attention, as it constitutes one of the most odious features of the whole proceeding I was, in effect, required to solemnly swear that I would answer all questions which the Senate might think proper to propose; thus leaving myself no after discretion as to such questions as it might be a violation of the most sacred obligations to answer. I could scarcely believe, on the evidence of my own senses, that the Senate would seek baselv to entrap me by such a miserable device, and I asked that the presiding officer should repeat the form. Upon learning that my first impressions of it were correct, I peremptorily and indignant- ly refused to take the oath: I was withdrawn from the bar; and when again introduced, was sworn in the usual form. I will be glad to be convinced that the Senate was not generally a party tothis disingenuous and unworthy trick. I trust it may eventually appear that it was the dishonest suggestion of some little lawyerling, who, all hislife engaged in prosecuting and defending small criminals at the small courts, has at length attained a disre putable perfection in the quirks and pettifoggery of the lowest grade of the profession; some pompous dwarfling, who mistakes stifnees for dignity, and lives under the constant hallucina- tion that pragmatic solemnity will be mistaken for grave wisdom; some glib attorney, whose microscopic mind magnifies atoms into objects of gigantic importance, and who, mistaking his position from the force of professional habit, thinks himself inthe society of knaves, when he is only among gentlemen. I truet for the character of the Senate, it wi!l be found that in & moment "of thoughtlessness ,they may have acquiesced in this dishonorable artifice.— What was the nature of the attempt? To force me in limine to swear solemnly to re veal what before positively refused to disclose. Tomake me call God to witneee that I would at the Senate’s bidding make my- self that pliant villain which they would have made me, and for not becoming which they have inflicted upon me the rigours of tedious incarce ration. [have read with disgust of the trial by made on personal liberty, and in the first strug- gle between the rights of the citizen and the as- sumptions of prerogative ia which they have a right from their position to interfere, array them- selves on the side of prerogative and against the citizen? Will they be allowed to plead the mandate ot Mr. Polk? Let them turn to the pages of every honest journal in the State, of all parties, and they will see that this stretch of power on the part of the Senate of the United States, in which they tamely acquiesced, is re- ceiving indignant rebuke. They have neglected an opportunity of acting in such a manner as would have met the favor of the people as well as the approbation of their own consciences. Can they now declare they are satisfied with their own course? They cannot. GaLvIENSIS Wasurneron, April 18, 1848 Curious Developements about Citizen Pageot’s Household Affairs, and other things of some small importance to a disinterested public. Looking through the mansion of M. Pageot, which has been undergoing the devastation of an auction, I was struck with the peculiar and elegant furniture, from the kitchen to the garret —from the Parisemade egg-boiler to the em- broidered coverlet of Teflis. All these bijous of domestic luxury and fashionable voluptousne: are parting, never to meet again in such admira- ble arrangement or exquisite taste. The kitchen utensi!s are all of the purest copper, lined with tin, and made in France; dozens of sauce-pans, -soup kettles, fish-boilers, moulds for cream and jellies, amovnting to several hundreds, with all their * accompanying documents;” it seemed as if there were a sufficient number for an army with banners—and around them flocked the birth and beauty of the district. The amiable Mrs. B has just taken the cover from a spider; the charming Mrs L is fingering a spovn; the witty Mrs. D has her heart set on a sugar-pan; while the splendid wife of the Russian minister is gazing lrom the window, down upor the scene, with ‘a proud look and a brilliant eye’ By her side is the enchanting Mrs. W , whose lipsare red as the first moss rose bud of summer, ready to bid when a bargain offers. Next to the kitchen in luxuriousness is the cham- ber of Madame P ; 9 rose-wood bedsiead of th richest pattern adorns one corner, while the light ot heaven falls gently through tinted currains Chairs of the same material, and sofas of the softest cushions, adorn the room; an oval mirror of a Louis Quatorze style stands. upon the toilet table, und » large one above the mantel. No- thing that wealth could buy, or ingenuity invent,” ws lacking, to render it fit for a home of love and beauty. [n one corner, with crimson cush- ions, was a rose wood altar or oratory, above which was suspended a niche, in which hunga erucifix; but, alas, the image of our Redeem-r was gone—the niche alone remained. Here had been the shrine of piety—the heaven of love. Bat all these gems ot taste are now divided among the parvenues of this place and Baltimor-, viz:—the R—gs, the C——as, the P——‘s, the Mc—ne, the B—rs, &c. The Opposite room was furnished in about the same style of splen- dor and elegance, and was occupied by a friend Sf the family, and in a way that has made M. P. stay, during the last years of his residence here, quite scandalous. To say the least, no one regretshisdepirture. The difference between a Yankee and a Frenchman cannot be better il- lustrated than in the furnishing of their man- sions. While the one puts the most coat- ly things in his bed chamber, the other puts it in his parlor. It was, in reality, more like a levee than an auction, as everybody was there. The ex-minister must have made money by the sale. The parlors were nichly furnished—nothing more. The ladies gos- siped about the departed household, and scan- dalized them; but after all bought, some sou- venir of the last minister of the Tast Orleans dynasty. We hope that what is our loss in the minister will be the people’s gain, and that the provisional government will send us a man who has not one drop of monarchical blood in his veins, whose moral life may be above reproach, and who, without the aid of a crucifix, will « Chentes toujours en haate voix Vive Jesu~ vive ln croix !— Candidates for the Presidency are thick as plums in.a Christmas pudding.

Manomert. Was aixeton, April 18, 1848 The details of the Absurd Schooner, and the Se- venty-seven Runaway Slaves found on board at the Capture near the mouth of the Potomac Last Satuday night was signalized by a large experimeat upon the slaves of this district by the abolitionists. Aschooner from New Jersey, commanded by a Captain Sears, (a Massachusetts man) with two white assistants, had delivered at the wharf, afew days before, a cargo of fire wood, which the captain soid at two dollara a cord, taking notes in exchange, payable in sixty days. These notes the captain used in the pur- chase of groceries, &c , with which he provi- stoned the vessel, {a the meantime, the emis- saries of the abolitionists scoured this city, the cities of Georgetowa und Alexandria, and suc- ceeded in enticing on board ship, with promises of treedom in the North, seventy-seven slaves in all, some fitty odd cvlored men, eight or ten. women, and as many children, nearly all of hem belonging to citizens of Washington. A few were obtained in Alexandria and George- town, making up the nice complement of seventy- seven, equal to a draft upon the property of the citizens of this district of fifty thousand doll «ra, (350.000 ) They were all on board the schooner on, Sa- turday nigh’, aud shortly after midnight, with a fine breeze blowing directly down the river, the schooner set sail, intending to run round by Che- sapeake Bay tothe coast of Jers-y, where the slaves were to be discharged as free people of color. On Sunday morning the alarm was given, and the little steamer Salem, belonging to Georg town, was armed with asix pounder and a pors- of twenty-five armed men, under the cominaod of Mr. Williams, volunteering for the expedi- tion, and immediately put uader all her steam, equal to seven miles an, hour on an average— the great danger being in ranning out into the open riverinthe morning. It so happened, how- ever, that in the very creek entered vy the Salem, the schooner, at two in the morning, was found at anchor, and all hands, every soul on board, including the seventy-seven slaves and the three white men, enjoying a comfortable sleep; luxu- riating in delightfu dreams of the Jerseys, of Philadelphia, of New York, and Boston, and the great St. Lawrence, and the provinces of Her Britannic Majesty flanking that mighty river, and the great lakes that supply its ocean volume, and of the glories of basking in the sun all day long, with none to command them to get up and question, and of many other modes of compell- ing testimony equally infamous; but it was re- served for the Senate of the United States to make the disgraceful attempt to force a witness to bind himself by an awful solemnity todo an act of villanous treachery; it was reserved for them, at this day, in this stage of civilization, to invent a new mode of compelling unwilling evidence— not by straining the strong joint bythe taught rope, or tearing the quivering flesh by the hot pincers—but by binding their uawary victim in the strong bonds of an infamous oath, and thus prostituting for a most uaholy purpose the evan- geliste of the living God. Mr. Dallas, Mr. Dallas, before | would have sufiered myself tobe made the mouth-piece of this shameful stratagem, I would have descend- ed from that chair, and bade the Senate procure an officer iniquitous enough to preside at such iniquitous proceedings. You performed your revolting duty, however, gracefully and courte- ously; and perhaps, after all, that was the extent of what should have been expected from you under the circumstances. But teme acquiescence in this foul feature of this most foul proceeding, is not what shoula have been expected from the nators irom New York; with the people of that State their conduct will not be excused because the proceeding was commenced at the instigation of « President of their own party. Are they pre- pared to justify their course to their constituents —the one in giving a silent vote—the other in not voting atall? Ia there any Meaning in the word “ democrat,” or is it but an empty sound, that these two men, claiming to be es ntially and emphatically friends of tne people, should, oa the very first occasion when aa assault is} + goto work. What a horrid dissolution of the charm of these visions it was, when in a mo- ment a posse of armed men were on board, and all hands of the Absurd schooner were prisoners of war. They surrendered at discre- tion, and arrived here this morning under tow of the steamer. The captain and aids, and the seventy-seven re-captured slaves, were marched up from the landing thie moraing, between seven and eight o’clock, through the city to the jail. As they were crossing over the canal near the avenue, a mob, in an instant, if by enchant- ment, collected around this strange proceesion. They were eager for the life of the captain. He was seized by one of the populace; but one of the police, acting as guards to the prisoners, felled the intruder with his bludgeon, and dexterouely page the captain of the ill-fated craft into # hack which wes at hand, ard which drove off rapidly to the jail, followed by a portion of the crowd at full speed, the mass remaining behind with the body of the prisoners, eeeorting them with all sorts of congratulations to the jail, into which the entire population of§the Absurd schooner were ushered for safe keeping, where = now are he fate of the captain and his aids will pro- bably be imprisonment ia the peniteatiary tor life, or fora term of years upon each of the twenty or thirty parcels of slavis, which will ex- tend beyond the duration of an average life time. The recaptured slaves will be disposed of to deal- ers, who are here buying up forthe markets of New Orleans, and the extreme South. Tney will fzepeane with regret the easy life of the slave in Washington, forthe segir and cotton planta- tions of M Alas! fi ¢ Absurd schooner, and that most absurd sicep near the very margin of safety, but within the very jaws of the law and its posse comitatus of the steamer Salem. The cap:ain of the Absurd says he has run off several cargoes of slaves from this river and Chesapeake’ bay, heretofore ; and perhaps his success was the secret of his destruction. It appears that he is in the pay of the abolitionists —that he has been transacting this dangerous aad piratica!l business for them Among the owners of the slaves recaptured is issippi, Louisiana, and Texas @ bleck man sand Adams, who drivema heck. On hearing of the arriv.i of the prisoners, he expresred great delight, and vaid, “ Now, | them are those two lazy nig- from me; but I’il make sure He wiil probably sell them to Southern poceneante; ‘ This startling transaction has excited a ge- neral spirit of indignation in this District. Aad well it may. It 18 a bold thing. It will go to increase that natural hatred of the South of the intermeddiing abolitionists—it will tend to give tone and unity to the abolition organization for the Presidency—it opens up directly the whole issue in all itsdetails. Mr. Giddings has already brought the question of the imprisonment of the recaptured slaves of the schooner before the House, in a resolution of inquiry, and we may expect the subject to be agityted at every stage of the proceedings. It w»s apprehended that the office of the National Era (abolition), of this eity, would be visited \o-night by the mob, but we hear of no assault down to eleven o’clock. Tt is high time that the citizens of tais district were proceeding to mewsures for the security of their preperty aud their mghis, underthe federal constitution Srate Rigurs Wasaineron, April 18, 1848 The Men Stealers—The Capture of the Runaways On Sunday, this city and Georgetown were thrown into a state of intense excitement. Be- tween seventy and eighty slaves belonging to citizens of the two places had disappeared, as had, also, money, spoons, and other valuables. Several negroes who had made their arrange- ments to vamose, were left behind, and to be revenged they gave thealarm. A telegraphic despatch war sent to Baltimore, with a view of having a vessel despatched to the Bay to meet the runaways; aad the steamer Salem, Captain Baker, raised steam, and immediately proceed: ed down the Potomac. There were about thir- ty volunteers on the vessels, armed to the teeth, und two field pieces were provided to be used in case of necessity. We heard nothing about this + xpedition until last night, when it was reported that there bad been a fizht, and that eight of the vegroes had beenkilled! This, however, was a mistake. This morning, at eight o'clock, the whole party arrived at the wharf, aud were ta- keato jail, There were, in all, seventy-seven negroes, viz: thirty-eight men and boys ; twen- ty-3ix women and girls, and thirteen children — The captain of the Pearl, tne piratical craft, is named Edward Sayers; the supereargo or mate, Daniel Drayfon, trom White Hill, New Jersey They were discovered in the Pearl, while at an- chor at Point Lookout, a huadred miles trom Washington, at the mouth of the Potomac river, at4o’clock, on Monday morning. The vessel was ap,roached, and the captain was ordered to put on his clothes, as he was required on board the Salem. He obeyed the summons, it is said, without resistance. The negro men and boys were tied—the women and children were left un- bound. They were all transterred to the Salem, and came up under a full head of steam. The Pearl came to the city a few days ago, openly, with’a load of wood; and departed, clandestine- ly, with a cargo of wool While the captain of the schooner (Sayers,) was on his way from the whart to the jail, an at- tempt was made to lynch him; and for satety he was put into a carriage. Excitement prevails, and there is a murmurin; of discontent among the b’hoys, which, it is to be hoped, may not result in something to be lamented by friends of order. Father Giddings made a movement in the Mouse with reference to this inflammable sub- ect. Feuix. THIRTIEN CONARKSS FIRST SESSION.

Puuwaperata, April 19, 1848. Opening of the Season—The Fashions —Politics— Musie—Theatricals, §c , §c., §c. The trees of our city have put on their spring cost of leaves and blossoms, and the ladies and gentlemen who perambulate Chesnut street, have ‘ikewise donned the hubiliments of the season. Fur tippets and boas have departed with March, and their placeseare occupied by Canton crap shawls; while velvet hats have nodded their )tames and retreated before pretty straw bonnets, rimmed with variously colored but chaste rib. bons. The changes in the dress of the men, too, have been marked—all of heaviness, sombreness, nad cold-repelling, having given place to a light- vess anda flashiners which have rarely before been witneseed. Nothing more common now than for one of our bucks to appear on Chesnut street with three or four colorajon his back. This moraing I positively saw a gentleman who em sraced in his dress nearly baad hue of the prism For instance, he wore a purple jockey cap with an orange tassel and trimming ; his cravat was blue and scarlet; his shirt was striped with brown and deep blue; his coat was a sky-blue; his pantalouns positively pink; his vest fawn- color, with pearl buttons; and, in addition to ali this, he wore gloves of straw-color, gaiters of black, an@the most dazzling pair of patent-leather shoes that I have seen formeny aday This is of couree an extravagant specimen of the present fashion of a gentleman. I note this variation on toe bark which covers the tranks of my fellow creatures, becaus? I know that there are many folks who read your world-spread Herald that are deeply interested init, and because without speaking of fashions I should fail faithfally to chronicle the events of ihe city. There is probably no place on this continent which ranss so highly in good acts, and at the same time sinks so bras in bad ones, as Phila- delphia. We have moral, and exemplary people here, of surpassing quality, and we have as black and revoliung specimena of villany, as can be produced in any part of the world. The average is tolerabiv, however. We have, too, a large number of little great men,a few great nen, and some who are truly worthy and eminent The great little men are those whose names forever figure on committees, and who are generally the officers of our public meetings; the little great men are those who really might shine among us, who have means and talente, but can’t afford to come ou'; while the truly em- inentand worthy ore those whom really great occasions alone draw from their modest retire- ment. Both of the latter it will be inferred are generally in the snade; and the former it wilt be aleo iplerred—as is true—are the levers by which the massrs are moved on all subjects. Hence, the flatness in political, aud other public novements, which characterizes this city. There is only one subject which, in Philadel- phia, is attended to by those who are truly com- petent to handle it, and which receives favor and notice from pay whose knowledge of it makes them jative of any merit within its em- brace—that subject is music. There is really good musical judgment here, as the popularity of Biseaceianti, Bishop, and other pre-eminent artistes indicates; and for the reason that the great little men, who give tone to every thing else, let it alone, and that thus, by default, it passes over to the kindly offices of those who are capable of appreciating it. I will not say attempts have not been made to introduce the popular “Hi, hi, hi,” into concerts and opera houses, for the purpose of glorifying subordi- nate at the expense of superior merit; the thing has been attempted; but for some reason or other, probably beceuse the actors wera not in Independence Square, or the Chinese Museum, they have aignally failed. i The politicians have been a good deal exorci- sed of late, by Cassius M. Clay’s letter to the “Sage of Ashland,” and which speaks # with- drawal of himself and his forces from that gen- deman. Tue North American whigs are deeply indignant; the democrats are rather quiet, unwilling to say much one way or the other, for fear. of defeating the nomination of Mr. Clay, which they desire, for the reason that they think he can be beaten more readily than any body else in the field; and while the Taylor men use it a8 an argument strong as proof of holy writ, that Mr. C! not unite the party atthe present time so well us he did even in 1844; and eo they declare pub- liely and privately. And let me tell you, Mr. Bennett, the Ta ‘is. whig, or rather anti-Clay movement here, has, within afew days, become very strong, especially since the address from Ashland was published, announcing a willing- on the part of Mr. Clay to accept a nomi- nation. While there was doubt, a clear doubt, they made no war upoa that distinguished gen- tleman; they joined eavalcades to his honor, yea, hung around him with fond looks, and laughe: atthe jokes which were perpetrated by himselt and Mayor Swift ; but the moment he expresses a desire to occupy the field, from which he re- tired 89 ceremoniously a few months ago, over and over again, they open their mouths, and chow their teeth with a vengeance. ‘Phe firer tion of this was made by the formation Rough and Rewdy Club,” led off by such names as he Hon. E and backed up c. J. Morris, by hundreds of others, who have ‘been heretofore ao less active supporters of ‘Harry of the West” Cassius’ letter has been much yee ed by the men who form this club, and by the whole Taylor force here in Philadelphia. They use itasa backbone for the position they have uken, and, by its means, with other appliances at hand, expect to-vperate very effectu lly upon the approaching convention in the Hell of Inde- pendence Mies Wemyss has just commenced an engage- mentat the Walnut street theatre, where Ander- son has just closed a most brilliant one of two weeks.

The Tealian, opera people made a great mistake in leaving usas they did. They were drawing nightly immense houses, and the fever raged at the very highest point when they de- parted. The company might have been divided, a portion playing in New York, and a portion here. However, I presume the managers know their own business best. Biscaccianti, with Pe- relli and Norelli, give two or three concerts here uext month, I hear. She is an immense favorite, and there can be no doubt but she will h.ve im- mense audiences. Browsg, Jun. Purapexruia, April 19, 1848. The Celebration of the Battle of Cerro Gordo— Accident—A Cannibal. The celebration of the victory of Cerro Gordo, held last evening at Military Hall, by the return- ed volunteere, was an enthusiastic affair. A boy was seriously hurt this morning, by the talling of the party wall of anew building, the bricks from which struck him on the head. He was taken to the hospital. : The landlord of a low tavern in Front street, during a fight with one of his lodgers, last night, bit off a portion of his nose. The suilerer was conveyed to the hospital, and the offender com- mitted tor trial.
