‘Wasumeren, May 18, 1848. ‘The Close ¥™ Wek. ‘This day brings us to the end of the twenty-third week of the current session of Congress. We have been getting on slowly, on account of our very un- certain relations with Mexico; on account of the party issues growing out of this war, and discussed upon every bill, report, or resolution introduced into either house ; on account of the approaching campaign far the presidency; and on account of the delightful disorganization of both parties upon principles and upon men; upon conscience and upon amiability ; upon abolition and upon annexa- tion, all of which subjects have been so amply dis- cussed that they are now as ragged and threadbare as Falstaff’s regiment of voltiguers. In the Senate, to day, a Mr. King, of New York, had a petition presented by Mr. Jefler- sen Davis, praying Congress to aid him and encourage him in the raising a regiment of volunteers to go down to the relief of Yu- eatan. We like the patriotic offer of Mr. King. A worthy and distinguished officer of the army in Washington, is ready to embark upon just such an expedition, and, we doubt not, that if Congress were to pass a bill furnishing arms, supplies, and transportation, to Yucatan, to volunteers, leaving the question of pay, c., to be arranged between the volunteers and the authorities of Yucatan, that a force sufficient for suppressing the insur- rection there can be promptly despatched to the field. M. Dix presented a memorial from the contrac- tore of the steam line to Havana and Chagres, ask- ing that permission be granted them to contract for the employment of certain Spanish war steam” ers, until their own ships shall have been con- structed; and the memorial was referred to the .Committee on Commerce, from which we expect a favorable report. Mr. C. Frank Powell, @onsul to Muscat, had a petition laid before the Senate, this morning, pray- ing that the consulate to Muscat may be placed on the same footing as the consuls at the capitals of the Barbary powers. He presents the value of the commerce of the provinces and islands of the Imaum, and the advantages that would accrue from a more liberal commercial policy in those seas on the eastern side of Africa. The working men of the navy yard ask that the estate of Mount Vernon be bought by the govern- ment of the heirs of George Washington, and taken good care of, in behalf of the people, and in veneration of the memory of pareR rr. E The plan of Mr. Jefferson Davis, with r Mount Vernon, at onee meets all the of patnotism zard to demands and public economy. — ile estate, esial- poses 10 ase the and lish there an hospital { been disabled or bilitic amy of the U hospital, or Hotel des In can war, we had no materials for such a hospital or hotel; but the ratification of Mr. Trist’s treaty, Gif it shall ever be ratified) will bring up to Wash ington an aggregate of brave men, despoiled «i one or two arms or legs, sufficient to form the nucleus of a very interesting establishment, On the resumption of the bill for the relief or Yucatan, Mr. Miller rose to the question, and tor hours discussed it in opposition to militury occu- pation proposed. He travelled, and at’a slow ce, over the very same ground traversed by \ iles and Mr. John Davis, especially in scouting e idea that Great Britain has designs upon Yu- catan, and that it is necessary that we should oc- cupy it in order to prevent her getting a foothold on that important peninsula. The great objects of Mr. Miller appeared to be—Ist. To do some- thing for home consumption, 2d. To kill time, one plan of killing a bill. When Mr. Miller had concluded, Mr. Calhoun secured the floor, and we shall expect to have the pleasure of hearing him on Monday. pee ee Mr. Clarke offered a resolution inquiring of the President whether he has sent any part or all of the navy in the Gulf to Yucatan, and asking of him also, for the latest orders despatched to the commanders of the Gulf Squadron, which was adopted. Mr. Clarke is apprehensive that the pro- cess of annexation of Yucatan has soe com- menced. We understand the President has di- rected that every disposable ship in the Gulf be moved down to the occupation of the ports of Yu- eatan, Sisal, and Camp y, with the express ob- ject of defending the whites. The Commodore, we learn, will also make inquiries of the British agents at the Balize, in reference to the suspected designs of Great Britain, and in exposition, if deemed neceseary, of the purposes of this govern- ment. é Thus ends the week in the Senate. It closes in the House with another instalment on the slavery question from Mr. Giddings. 7 he weather, which has been cold and rainy for several weeks, is brightening up again to-day most beautifully. j 5 Our landlords at the United States have given us for several days past, a nice dish of strawberries and cream for dinner.

MY, KETERDY JOHNSON'S RESOLUTION Asking of the President if there were certain mili- tary appointments made in the recess of Congress. which had not been communicated to Congress: and if not, why not, coming up as the unfinished business of the morning hour from Saturday last Mr. Bortann took the floor upomit in reply to the diversified political speech of Mr. Johnson. ‘The Major opposed the resolution, defended the veto power, and replied pretty much seriatim to the points of the at- tacked by Mr. Johnson upon the administration. But as the Major was situate immediately under your report- er, and as he read his speech from the manuscripts upon his table, in a tone of voice not distinctly audible to us. ined to forego even an outline of what froma sentence caught here and there was a speech calculated to do the Major considerable benefit in the State of Ari sas. a8 doubtless the speech of Mr. Johnson has helped him in no small de- gree in the State of Maryland. When Major Bor- Jand had coneluded. On motion of Mr. Haxxecan, the Senate resumed the bill for the reilef of the FRESE OF YUCATAN. Mr Catwovy rose. and the low manner of conversa- tion which had prevailed in the galleries, was sus- pended, for the people had come to hear him. Mr President. the President in his message recommends to this body the adoption of such measures as may be deemed sufficient, in the first place, to prevent ¥ uca- tan from becoming colonized by European powers ; and in the next place. as will save the race from being exterminated or expelled from the country. In support the last recommendation he informs us that the Indians are carrying ‘on an exterminating war against the whites. and that unless some foreign power shall iuterpose to their re- lief, they will be exterminated or expelled. In support of the firet recommendation. he informs the Senate that the government of Yucatan bad applied for asi to the United states, Great Britain and Spain. offering the dominion of the country for the aid required Hf ate that unl t this aid may grant i acquire a territory to our disadvantage Such he tells us. would be in contra national doctrines of \ir\on and could never be allowed The (ommittee on reign Relations. inearrying out these reeommenda- tions of the executive have reported the bill which is pefore us. providing for the military occupation of catan.

MR* MONROW'S DOCTRINES EXPLAINYD Mr. Catnoun, entering into the merits of his argu ment. said. in the first place. that the case of ) ucatan admitting it to be as stated by the President. docs not come within the principles laid down by Mir. Monroe nor do "they afford the slightest authority for the re- port of the committee. Mr, Monroe, in 1823, in refer- ence to non-intervention, made these declarations ‘The first. and most important. was. t! the United States will not regard any attempts by European na- tions to extend their systems on this continent. other than as dangerous to our peace and safety. 1 shall attempt to show that the case of Yucatan does not come within this declaration 1 shall show who were the allied powers, and under what circumstances these declarations were made. At that time (1825) the four great continental powers were Russia, Prussia, Austria and France. After the downfall of Bonaparte, this combination was formed and known as the Holy Alliance. fox the protection of monarchical, and, as far as possible. to put down popu- lar principles, England, in the first stages of this alliance, was for it; but when it undertook to regulate the affairs of all Rurc and the affairs of Spain on this continent, to.aid Spain in the reeovery of her revolted ff ime then it was that England took the alarm Ir. Canning. the Britieh premier. informed Mr. Rush. our minister at London, that if England were backed by the United States. she would resist the Holy Alli- ence. This information was received here with joy ; also informs the Se comm oR a it had occurred but yesterday, Mr. Ri leated to us the decision of Mr. Canning late in the year. The information was sent round to every member of the Cabinet. The Cabinet met—they had a deliberation, a full and long deliberation, and the re- sult was, the final declaration which I have thee ate 7. nounced. But all this has now passed very movement of the English goverement gave s blow to the Holy Alliance from which it never recovered ; and finally, the late revolution in Europe has over- thromn the remotest pect of its resuscitation, It has all gone away. Now, sir, by what ingenuity, by what sophistry of argument, can this declaration be ap- plied to this case of Yucatai 2. The intervention of European powers in the af- fairs of the independent nations of this continent could not be admitted by the United States, because such in- tervention would be manifestly against us. This was the second declaration of Mr. Monroe. The same reasoni will apply to this declaration as to the other, because it was made un hi ut the time. It was intended for the Spanish republics, which having just struggled through their independence, were as yet in the weakness of infancy. Hence this specific declaration. Now, sir, this question does not come within the application of this second declaration.— Has any foreign power interfered in the affairs of Yu- catan, to oppress it, to assume its sovereignty, or in any way to endanger her existing government? Ne, sir. But it may be said, that if they have not, such interposition is meditated by European powers, and by this term European powers, it is clear that both the President and the chairman on foreign felation, mean England, and England alone—that is the power indi- cated. . Well, then, has England shown any disposition to interfere. as apprehended, or to change the govern- ment of Yucatan from a republic to » monarchy, or @ province of a monarchy? There is no proof of it. Mr. Siegra insinuates it; but his own letters also disprove it. And I think, here, sir, the true reason why the English have not furnished arms to the peo- le of Yucatan, is, that they are contraband of war Where is no proofthat England has moved a military force into Yucatan, though it is is boldly charged by the Chairman on Foreign Relations. ‘he Prei it Ba! if we do not grant supplies, England may, and that she may ultimately take the sovereignty of the country. He goes no further. But even if this were so, will it come within the declarations of Mr. Monroe’ Not at all. Suppose she shall give the aid and assistance, and take soverignty offered, does the case come within the declarations of 23? Not at all. She does it not by usurpation, but with the assent of the govern- ment. We may object, but it does not come in con- flict with the declarations of foreign non-intervention. 3. But the President fears that Yucatan may become acolony ofan European power. This point refers to the third part of Mr. Monroe's declaration, which is that the United States can allow no republic on this continent to be colonized by any European power The caso of Yucatan does not come under this branch of the principles laid down. I will attempt to show thatitdoes not, ‘Phe term colonizing has a xpecific meaning. which cannot be contemplated in this instance, Let us give the history of this de- claration of Mr. Monroe. 1 don’t bolieve it was ever made the subject of a cubinet consultation. At that time there was a quostion pending between the United States and Great Britain on the one side, and Russia cntheother. The object of Great Britain was to keep Russia on the Pacitic coast. as far to the north as pes- sible. and she applied to as for co-operation. The pro- position came In the same mossageas the other referred to It was iu reference to the Russian possessions on the uorth-west oust that this declaration wax made vad especial ret the to that subject, because Jonization in the » claration does not, there- f ssumption of sovereignty ver Yucatau would uot be coloniaation ; but a Kove- eignty over people already there. If Great. Britain should accept it, does that make it acolony? No. it sssion, but not acolony. The airman on Foreign Rels versation with Vr. Adams, on whieh the jared that these declarations of non-intervention had all originated with himself. and were unknown to the esbinet till he disclosed them. must be a mistake—a mistake between Mr. Adams and the honorable Chair- man. The proposition was communicated first from Mr. Canning to Mr. Rush, and by him transmitted to Mr. Monroe. All the papers passed round to the mem- bers of the cabinet before they met. He referred to an isuluted part of the declaration against European co- lonization on this continent. Mr. Adams may have given the exact statement. for the declaration was broader than the fact intended to be met. It was precipitate, and not marked as I apprehend. by a pro- per caution; for there was 4 manifest impropriety in it. In the second branch of the declaration we acted with England.and it was to us a question of great magnitude. We relied upon her Pigiection against the Holy Alliance. We were then but a government of some six or seven millions, and with few of the fa- cilities of roads, and the means of intercommunica- tion and defence that we now have. The subsequent branch of the general declaration, theu, against FE ropean colonization on this continent was calculated to offend ory agri and did offend her; and she did not join with us in the settlement of the Russian question. Had this branch of the subject come before Mr. Mon- roe’s cabinet, he would have given it another form, for he was a wise and cautious man. This ix my belief, and the statement of the case is by the last surviving member of Mr. Monroe's cabinet. Mr. Cacnoun having thus given the history of the declaration of non-intervention, by Mr. Monroe, pro- ceeded to argue that no branch of that declaration authorized the resistance against foreign intervention, ited in the President's message, in reference to Yucatan. ‘The President makes it our duty to resixt on all occasions, and to resist to the utmost. He tells us in this yery message that this thing is not to be permitted ; an‘l in conformity with his mistaken inter- pretations of the principle 6f Mr. Monroe, he recom- mends in this case the policy of resistance, and of re- sistance by arms. even to the utmost extremity, NOTH PARTIES CHANGED, Mr. Cannoun pleaded that no such construction was authorized by the declaration of Mr. Monroe. There was not one instance in which it had been carried out. More than that, the declaration itself, three years after it was made, was dixavowed by the republican party in the debate upon the Panama question, in Congress, and by the present chief magistrate himself. It never was a republican doctrine. There has been an entire revolution by both parties upon this principle ; and hence it is that I, who have stood still, and maintain the same ground, now find myself with the opposition side. Why, sir, if you carry out this doctrine. you ne- ver will have peace—the temple of Janus will’ always be open. y to Yueatan.fort THE CASE OF CURA. Under this new doctrine, whenever there is an inter- nal war on this continent, and the weaker party asks our assistance, we shall be bound to do so for fear of foreign intervention. There is no such idea intended in the declaration. This idea goes far beyond and dangerously too, It will keep us always at war. But there are cases in which we should have to go to war. Do Senators ask for one’? There is then the case of Cuba. So long as Cuba is in the hands of Spain there can be no difficulty; but we cannot permit it to pass into more formidable hands, Not because of our own ambition, but for the safety of these States. and for the freedom of our commerse. THE CASE OF TEXAS AND ENGLAND. Mr. Carnoun argued that the designs of Great Bri- tain upon Texas, left ua no other alternative than annexation, but England could have no designs upon Yucatan ; itywas a barren conutry, destitute of streams, had no commercial advantages. and though it com- manded the 8 between it and Cuba, and that inlet into the Gulf from the Carribean Sea, owing to the current of the Gulf Stream. it was no outlet, and therefore of little value compared with the pass be- tween Cuba and Florida, which was an inlet and an outlet. Yucatan can add nothing to the naval power of England. There are no ports wlong the peninsula, not one of any considerable depth. Great Britain has power with her navy, in case of war, to prevent a single vessel passing those straits. THE NAVY OF EN: Mr. Catnovn entered into a description of the situ- ation of the West India islands in the Gulf, toshow that Great Britain with the island of Jamaica, its good harbors and her large navy. and from her position at the Balize and the windward islands, ax long as she maintains her supremacy on the seas. could lock up the Gulf in @ state of war. without either the posses: sion of Yucatan or Cuba; but while there is peace there is no danger. THY Cost. I sition may cost us too much. ii and in money. To what extremity it may | have no data to tell. ‘The population of \ucatan is five or six hundred thousand, The Indians are the bulk of the population, They are active, somewhat nilitary. and can retreat readily to the mountains rthere jx a tier of mountains runniug throngh Yu v.

It is said, that un- less we interpose the whites will be expelled, Mr. Cal- houn then explained this war, It was originally a war of factions; but was now a war of races, His sympatics were with the white race, False philosophy and false philanthropy had not destroyed his feelings as a man, If this war is to endin the extermination of the white race by the Indians raised to the condition of citizens, we have at once a question of policy before ux. Tothe white race we look for all advancement in liberty and civilization. They hold the wealth, and they possess the intelligence, that can alone secure the prosperity of Yucatan, If they can maintain themselves, there is some hope of Yucatan going forward, Throw the pre- onderance into the other scales, and things will tend n an opporite direction. They will go down, down, down, till Yucatan deteriorates again almost to her original savageism. Yet the magnitude of the ques- tion ought to teach us caution, Give the precedent, and we may be called to repeat it in other cases. Ve- nezuela is now undergoing the same internal strife; Guatamala, has passed through it. Could we interfere in all these cases? We owe # high duty to ourselves, As far as we can, we ought to be the guardians of civilization on this conti- nent But we ought to act in reference to the merits of particular eases, and not upon general rules, was.one course of the war. At See tonnes oe? war with Mexico, Barbechano was for Mexico, while Mendes was for neutrality. It also seems that neither faotion noticed the Indians till they became a formi- dable organization, The whites had exhibited no pa- triotism and no courage, and were entitied to no sym- pathy. THE WOMEN AND CHILDREN, But there are the helpless women and children. I would go to their relief as far as we can. Mr. Calhoun here took occasion to show, that there was proof, by the last arrival from New Orleans, that Great Britain had not interfered in the affairs of Yucatan, from the fact that a descent of the Indians was apprehended at the Balize, and that, to meet it, the authorities had sent to Jamaica for troops There was, then, no ground of seerenention, from Great Britain. How far, then, shall we go? He would send down the navy to pick up the stragglers, and transfer them where they deserve to g0, to Cuba, or elsewhore, He would do this, and give them food for the time being. He would go no fur- then. We cannot hope to re-establish, by our inter- erence, for any length of time short of permanent oc- ‘cupation, the sovereignty of the whites. They num- ber but 50.000 or 60,000, in a population of 500,000 or 600,000. We may restore peace for a time, but the moment we leave, the strife will be renewed. He was not willing to incur the dangers, or the costs of the ex- periment of a military eccupation, A CASE OF COMPLEXITIES. Between the amendment and the original bill, Mr. Calhoun preferred the bill. It defines the object—the amendment is vague upon this point. Tho case was complicated. It ‘presented a question of humanity anda question of interference of the most dangerous import. Why blend the two? It appears that the whites of Yucatan dread a return to the allegiance of Mexico. They have acted as traitors and they will be dealt with accordingly. ‘They expect it—they wish to avert it. Mr. Sierra makes a strong protest to the treaty upon this ground. Why all this delay of the Executive? -Why not aid Mendez, the c jion of neutrality? This rises from the anomalous relations maintained towards Yucatan in referenee to her neu- trality. It ought never to h&ve been regarded. Our policy has been a mixed policy, and hence the delicacy of our present relations. CROBS QUESTIONS. Mr. Bacay next secured the floor, and moved that the bill be laid aside till to-morrow. Mr. Cass desired one word. ‘The Senator from South Carolina says there are no ports in Yucatan. Mr. Cass undertook to show from the testimony of Lieutenant Porter, U.S. N., that a port ona part of the coast heretofore unknown, had been discovered with four fathoms of water. Mr. CaLnoun, from the testimony of Lieut. Maury, said this was not a port, for it was open to the sea. He contended that while England was possessed of her power on the ocean, she could command the outlet to the Caribbean, without the posession of Yucatan. Mr. Cass argued that the possession of the end of Cuba on the one side. and of Yucatan on the other, would be of great advantage to England, and of a corresponding advantage to us, notwithstanding the English navy. Mr. Catuoun insisted that with her naval ascend- ancy, England must command the Carribean sea, in case of war. and that our great object ought to be, in such an event. to secure the pass between Cuba and the Florida Keys. Mr, Cass earnestly protested against surrendering to England the points which would command the straita of Yucatan, for in that event she would block us up en- tirely: besides, there was a prospect that we might cope with the naval ascendancy of Great Britain, as we had done heretofore, Mr. Cagnoun said, that if we would establish a naval ascendanhey, we ought to abandon all war enterprises, show ourselves upon the oveatt® \ humorous conversation followed between Mr. Cal- heun and Mr. Cass. upon the subject of colonization ; Mr. Cathoun maintaining the ground, that the mere sovereignty of Yucatan would not constitute it a colony of Great Britain; and Vir, Cass taking the opposite ground; but both. at length. coming to the agreement that 4 mero transfer of sovereignty is not colonization, Mr. Foorr here interposed. Will the Senator allow me? (General laughter.) ur. Cannoun—No, sir; Iam not done yet. (In- creased laughter.) Mr. Foorr—Only word, Mr. Catnoun gave way. Mr. Foote then contended that all history was against the Senator from South Carolina, and that ac- cording to his position, neither Greece nor Rome had colonies. ‘The bill was passed over for the day. TILATING PASSENGER SHIPS. On motion of Mr. Jonw Davis, the Senate took up, and passed the House bill regulating the ventilation of passenger ships, Message from the President,with further information marh passed a bill for a pension to an old soldier. . And then the Sonate adjourned. House of Representatives. Wasninaton, May 15, 1848. REFUNDING MONEY. On motion of Mr. Hanatson, the Committee of the ‘Whole on the State of the Union was discharged from the further consideration of the resolution to refund toindividuals money advanced by them for expenses incurred for subsistence or transportation of volunteers, before being mustered into the service of the United States; and it was passed. CHARTER OF WASHINGTON, Mr Carman made a motion, which was agreed to, that the Committee of the Whole on the State of the Union, be discharged from the further consideration of the bill to continue, alter and amend the charter of the City of Washington, He stated that this was a compromise bill, and agreed to by four-fifths of the in- habitants. ‘The bill was read. It provides, among other things, that, in addition to the mayor, the register, surveyor, collectors and assessors, shall be elected by the people. Every froe white male citizen of the United States, who has resided in the city one year and paid a school tax of one dollar, and a tax on property, shall be entitled to vote. Power is given to the corporation to restrain gaming and bawdy houses, &e. Mr. Sims, of South Carolina, moved the previous question, which was ordered—ayos 80, nays 43. On the engrossment of the bill, the question was de- cided in the affirmative—yens 95, nays 59. Mr. Meavr moved to reconsider the vote just taken. It was his desire to amend the bill, that it be submitted to the people for approval Mr. Cuarmax remind¥d the gentleman that the principles embraced in the bill had been acquiesced in by four-fifths of the people of the city of Washington. And he moved to lay the motion of Mr. Meado upon the table. ‘The question was taken, ‘and decided in the affirma- tive. Yeas 92—nays 67. The bill was passed, under the operation of the pre- vious question. THR GAG—PROPERTY QUALIFICATION—SUFFRAGE. Mr. Hxxiev.—I move to reconsider the vote by which the bill was passed. pit Cuarmas.—I move to lay the motion on the tanj le. Mr, Hexixy.—I am obliged to the gentleman for mo- ving the gag, to prevent us from saying any thing with reference to the odious features of the bill. I can say this without being personal. Mr. Cuarman.—I would remark tothe gentleman that I. for one, would have taken great pleasure in hearing the views of the gentleman, if I had been aware that he wished to speak. Mr. Hexiry.—It is strange if the gentleman did not know that those who are apposed to the features of the bill wished to he heard. when appeals were made to amend it. When the gentleman insisted on the pre- vious question, and forced the gag, it ix trange indeed that the gentleman did not know that gentlemen wished to express their views. This bill contains an odious principle—that of a property qualification to vote, It may be said that it does not, but the bill re- ersons to be assessed, and to pay taxes, before exercising the right of suffrage, Mr. MeLaxr.—I conceive that there is no property qualification in the bill, If there is, I would not have voted for the bill. If aman has not property, he can vote without. Mr. Hexity.—The gentleman will not deny that a man must be assessed. If he have no property, does the gentleman say that he must not be assessed ax a payer of a school tax? Mr. McLaxr—I deny that there is any such qualifi cation in the bill as that of property. "When | hold the gentleman to the point. te designate the property qualification. he turns round and talks to me about # school tax, Mir. Hexixy—Must not the individual be assessed ? Mr. MeLave—If the gentleman asks me whether man cannot vote without a property qualification. | will with pleasure answer the question. Mr. Hnviry The ix a lawyer. and I am not: th myvelf of crass-questions \n individual, for instance has property in the Dix trict of Columbia ; that property is assessed ; suppor he has not procured a receipt that he has paid taxes—| axk can he vote Mir. MeLaxe—He ought not to vote, unless he has paid his taxes, Mr Huviy—That is the whole secret; there is a pro- perty qualification Mr. McLann—It is no part of my democracy to dis- grace and corrupt the ballot box, | would make the batlot box pure and honest, If a citizen holds proper- ty and ix taxed. I would require him to pay taxes be- fore exercising the high privilege of suffrage Mr. Hei rv—That'll do, Mr MeLaye—The gentleman remarks, that there is a property qualifieation, Now. I do not choose to vote to strike out what is not in the bill, if he presents the merits of the case, and says that there should be no assessment before voting. that raises a new tseue Mr. Hextey—The gentleman yields the point, that if aman has not paid taxes he cannot vote. It is still more odious THE CASE STATED. Mr. Jones. of Tennestee—I call the attention of the gentleman from Indiana, the gentieman from Mary- land, and the House, to ene fact. The bill provides that no man shall vote unless he shall first have paid a school tax.and taxes on other property. A man in the city owns no personal property, but » million dol- lars’ worth of real estate. He owes to the corporation fifty thousand dollars ; there ix no objection, and he puts in his vote. A soldier, whom we may meet on the avenue, has a pig or a cow, or but a bed or a chair, and has been assessed for twelve and a half cents, He comes up beside the millionaire, but he eannot vote because he has not paid a tax on his pig or cow. He is spurned, and must stand of, (Thats it.”) Mr. Hextey—That’s the whole story ; there is # pro- perty qualification in the bill. A fratid has been prac- tised on the House. There is an aristocracy here who seorn to give a man who is not able to pay the right to vote, I hesitate not to make the assertion. | pro- nounce it to be an outrage on the right of suffrage, which I hold to be dear. I desire to place my name on record as protesting against any such principle, and will make it an issue before the country. Mr. Meapr—A man murt be returned as a payer of a *chool tax, The gentleman seems to think that a tax ry levied on some propery or etherwe tahoe tan Teen rm — soe . MoLare that a school tax was demoere. , because it with the people to impose it, and it the bill provided for universal suffrage. bi The motion to reconsider the vote by which the bill was passed, was laid upon the table—yeas 74, nays 58. EXPORTS AND IMPORTS—FREE TRADE—AN 188UF. Mr. Stewanr, of Pennsylvania, asked leave to intro- duce a resolution of jiquiry, and'it was read, to thé ef- fect that the Secretary of the Treasury re House the aggregate amount of exports and imports for three quarters of 1847 and 1848, ending on the 31st of March last, showing the amount of specie imported, and the breadstuffs exported to England. The rules were suspended, and the resolution was entertained. Mr. Henury—Say provisions of all kinds, and state the estimates of the whole year, Mr. Bayty (sotto voce)—Any gentleman can make the statement for himself from the documents. We've got it already in the report, Mr. Rocxwett, of Connecticut.—I ask for tellers on the passage Of the resolution. [“Give it up.’ ‘ No, we wont give it up.""] Mr. Bayty—I move to amend the resolution. T do so, | want to hear it read. The resolution was read accordingly. Mr. Srewanr was imperfectly heard by the reporter. He was understood to say what follows : We were told by the Secretary of the ‘Treasury in his report, that the increase of the exportation of breadstuffs would go on. I sawin the Union a statement of the exports of flour and wheat to England, for three quarters,and they were not one-tenth part as much as they’ were last year. The Secretary said that the large exports last year were owing to the tariff of 1846, and that they ‘would goon, to be sure, not so rapidly. Now I say that instead of increasing they have decreased. Last year they were two two millions and a half; now they are only twenty-seven thousand dollars. The tariff of 1846, if it produced the increase, has produced the de- crease. Mr. Strrnens—I wish to modify the resolution, so as to include the exports of cotton. Mr. Stewant—Very well. At the same rate of de- crease, what will it be next year? My colleague (Mr. ©. J. Ingersoll.) some time ago, proposed to reduce the duties on every species of French luxuries, Mr. C. J. INGeRsoLt—My proposition had reference to such articles as pay a duty of thirty per cent. Mr. Stewanr—On all articles paying a duty of thirty per cent ? Inoxnsori—Yes, rewant—That includes duties on boots, shoes, hats, silks, ete. I should like to know whether my col- league consulted the Secretary of the Treasury. Mr. Incersou..—I am my own man. Mr. Stewant —He must have known that the effect would be, to affect our own manufacturing operations. Did he not? Mx. Ixcersovt.—Do you want an answer ? Mr. Stewart.—Yes. Mr. Inaeusotr—I would recommend that my col- league keep perfectly cool. [Laughter.] Mx. Stewarr.—I am cool. [And calinas a summer's morning.” Ma, Ixcrrsout.—My colleague seems to bein a state of considerable excitement. My resolution instructed the committee of ways and meins to inquire into the expediency of a reduction of certain duties ; of course, they were ‘to report as to the propriety of a reduction ; and the chairman of the committee (Mr. Vinton) mov- ed an amendment. and another member opposed the resolution, The committee has a majority of the gen- tlomen’s friends—six to three ; and | took it for grant- ed that the resolution was going into safe hands. | say, further. that my colleague's resolution ix a good one ; and that if all Europe had not been brought to a state of commotion and disturbance, there is reason to be- lieve that the receipts into the treasury, under the ta- riff of 1846. instead of being but thirty-three millions. would probably be thirty-vight, Mr, Stewart made some further remarks, and in conclusion. moved the previous question. Ma. Bayy.-—-Will you permit me to say a fey words? Will the gentleman move the previous question. after having made his statement. thus preventing mo from reply? [f you will withdraw the motion, I will renew it. Mr. Stewant— Agreed, Mr. Bavuy—The Secretary of the Treasury never said that the exports of breadstuffs for this fiscal year will be greater than they were last year. The Secre- tary takes the position that under the operation of un- restricted commerce. the effect would be a progressive increase of the exportation of agricultural produce. Now, I understand the gentleman to say that the Se- cretary asserted that the effect would be produced i one year. We know that owing to the famine in Eu- rope, the exports last year were large; and this, so far as concerns the Secretary of the Treasury, was strictly and exactly correct, and, as far as we have seen. the experience of this year sustains the Secretary; for I undertake to say, without fear, error. or expectation of contradiction, even from the gentleman from Penn- sylvania, that the export of breadstuffs and provisions from this country to Great Britain has been larger this year than during any year of a protective tariff. We know that the last harvest in Europe was of unprece- dental productiveness, and we might have expected this year but little exportation. However. I repeat that the exports of breadstuffs and provisions have been greater this year than during any year of a protective tariff. Mr. Strwart—You mistake. Mr. Bavy—The gentleman will have an opportunity to argue the question; and I give notice that the first time | can do so,1 will show that the removal of obstruc- tions in our commerce increases our exports, particu- larly our provisions Mr. Stewant.—What do you say,fsir? Mr. Bayiy.—We have exported more breadstuffs this z Itheugh there has been an exceedingly abundant aed in Europe, than in any, year under a protective tariff. : Mr. Strwakt.—I made my statement on the autho- rity of what I saw in the Union; that, for the three quarters ending the 31st of March, the amount of flour and wheat exported, and the specie imported, and with the fourth quarter, taking the same average, will not amount to one-tenth of the exports and imports of last year. I ask the gentleman to deny this, Mr. Bayty.—That is not the proposition which 1 made ; and I ask the gentleman to deny that. I say that, taking the period which has elapsed this *year, there has been a largerexport to Great Britain than during the same length of time under a protective tariff, and that too, on the heel of an exceedingly fruit- ful harvest. The gentleman hitches on wheat and flour. Mr. Stewant.—Corn meal. Mr. Bayy.—The gentleman forgets that the greatest of all the exports is Indian corn. We have alrendy exported two millions of bushels. Mr. Vinton.—Does the gentleman attribute that to the reduction of our own tariff, or to the removal of obstructions by Great Britain? Mr. Bavuy.—To both. Removal of restrictions on one end of the line has an effect upon the othér. When at both ends, commerce flows freely. Mr. Stewant.—The gentleman saya that the expor- tation of Indian corn amounts to two millions of bush- els. I ask, whether, last year, it did not exceed four- teen millions? Mr. Bayiy.—It did, and nobody ever maintained that the large export was owing to the tariff of 1846 altogether. Why does the gentleman hitch on the laxt year? Why does he not take a long period, say twenty yea Mr. Stewart. -I will take it. Mr. Bayxy.—lI am obliged to the gentleman, | wish the House to see at one view what has been the effect of a high tariff and a low ,tariff; and I move that the resolution be amended, to embrace a period of twenty ears. ” Mr. C. J. Incrxsout.—Put in cotton. Mr. Stewant.—I will Mr. Bayty.—The term agricultural produce will in- clude it; and not only this, but beef and pork, which are corn in another shape. Mr. Stewart.—The gentleman from North Caroli- na said that he would show that the statements in my #peech are not correct. It has been three or four months since I delivered it, and yet there has been no reply. We exported a hundred times as much under a high tariff as we have under a low one, Mr, Bayty.—I will take the is I do not mean under the compromise act, wher the duties run down so rapidly Mr. Stewant.—Let the gentleman take four years, and [ will take four years, and | can show thagpe pre- ponderance is in favor of a high tariff, Mr. Bayty.—I will take the issue Mg. Stewart repeated his proposition Mr. Baviy asked whether the gentleman did not know that before the reduction of the corn laws, the portations to /ingland went through her dependencic: Yet the gentleman undertook to presume on \Ir, Bay- ly’s ignorance in this matter. and kept hitching on to Great Britain, Vir. Bayly took the whole world ; and the country will have an opportunity of seeing which statement is to be relied upon Mr, Stewant agreed to modify his resolution. that the Seeretary of the Treasury furnish to the House the aggregate amount of imports of specie. and th amount of exports of breadstuife, from 1824 to the pre sent time ; and the resolution was passed After the transuction of other busingss of no public ance.

Murder Trral—Education—Fire, §c. §c. ‘The trial of Longfeldt is still progressipg,but the only new part in the chain of evidence is that turnished by Mr. Rademacher himself. He says it was about 12 o’clock on the night of the mur- der that he retired to bed; his wife followed him in a few minutes, and he fell asleep very soon: hie was awakened by a scream from his wife; and al- most as soon ashe awoke, was stunned by a severe blow upon the head; he attempted to get up, but his assailant held him down, and he was unable to rise further than upon his knees; he then ob- served that his wife was not in the bed, and ‘sup. posed she had saved herself some how; the strug- ple continued for some minutes, the murderer being beside the bed; afterwards he mounted upon the bed, and striking him several blows upon the ead, he lost his recollection, Previous to this, his assailant drew soni thing out of hs bosom, and he. then asked him what he had done that he should be killed. When he recoverd his recollection again he felt the murderer place his hand upon his head; he was then | ing across the bed; just then he heard a knocking at the door, and saw the murderer standing before the bureau putting ona coat or wrapping somethin around him. He then saw the man move towards the window and get out upon the shed, Mr. R. recollects getting we and opening the chamber door; but nothing that followed, except being surrounded by a number of persons while lying upon the bed.

The rate of assessments for county taxes will have to be fixed at 50 cents on the $100, to meet the total expenses during the next year. The last assess- ment was only at the rate of 40 cents, ‘ A destructive fire occurred early this morning, atthe southwest corner of Eleventh and Callow hill streets, the extensive board yard of Messrs. Harbert & Davis, located there, having been fited by an incendiary. The flames. pee with great rapidity, involving the destruction of about $25,- 000 of lumber, of which about $8000 was insured. At the corner, besides the counting house of the firm, two frames, occupied by Mr. Kelly as his stove store and dwelling, were totally destroyed. A large four story brick, which had’ lately been converted into two dwellings, met the same fate, the bare walls only being left standing in a totter- ingcondition, ‘The heat was so intense that the row of six brick dwellings on the north side of Callowhill st., Were set on fire, and the roofs and wood work of their fronts entirely destroyed. ‘The occupants say- ed most of their furniture in a damaged con tion, The frame grocery store, at the northwest corner, was on fire, but saved by the indefatigable exertions of our firemen, who built barricades in the streets to serve as a protection from the intense heat, wile they directed the streams of water upon the property endangered.

The whole amount of the loss is $50,000. i The lumber yard of Dilkes & Brown, at Eighth and Brown, was also set on fire, but being prompt- ly detected, was extinguished.

This opining setting forth new views upon the subject, the counsel for Da- niels was allowed until Thursday to answer them, when the Judge would pronounce upon the case.
