‘Wasuraton, May 19, 1848. The Presidency The Baltimore Convention—Oass in the Ascendant—Incidents—No Chance for the Barnburners. i Gen. Cass runs aheed of all his competitors t Mis stock has been rapidly improving from outside appearances; “but appear- sometimes deceptive.” It may be that ances a his more zealous friends from the West have been tin their prognostics—for they boldly ening that they do not even fear the y and their a little too fi declare this two-third rule; expressing their abi determination to defeat it. The friends of Mr. Buchanan, mean not sleeping upon their oars. They sive, but equally industrious, and exy decided opinions of his nomination, with the Cass people of their favorite. Itis clear, however, that n. Cass is in the ascendancy. His delegates are not slow to proclaim it, and herein, perhaps, lies his greatest danger. It may be that the advocates of the various other champions, eatching up the alarm, will coalesce upon some other individual, a8 a compromise preferable to the nomination of eneral Cass. fe ii is perhaps in this view that Mr. Dallas, for President, and Gen. W. O. Butler, for Vice-Presi- sent, are talked of incidentally among the neutrals. » have never known a national democratic convention to excite more interest to bring up to the half-way house at Washington more delegates and alternates, advisers and spectators, than the tortheoming convention at Baltimore has already collected in Washington. The importance of the tion of this national convention has at length fully established itself among the people; and hence they have resolved to take a more active participa- uon in it than heretofore. he great events in Europe have also contribut- ed to wake up the attention of the American masses, and to convince them that their own di- rect agency is the safest medium of popular scve- reignty. The politicians who, heretofore meeting in conclave to the extent of half a dozen, deeide upon whom the American people have had to east their suffrages—the mere politicians, whose busi- ness it has therefore been to make Presidents and choose cabinets, days and weeks betore the con- vention was called to act, are now reduced to the necessity of a more difficult game. The delegates, in this instance, from the propulsion given to the popular mind from the great events of this eventful year,,have come up with a greater degree of self- in their own judgments than hereto- less subserviency to the wire-pullers of Washington, The French motto of equality has had an apparent effect in reviving the principle in the minds of the delegates to this convention; for they talk with mnre independence, and express their opinions with more confidence, than they did inyis44 or 1840, They come now as if it were not only their province to express the voice, but their high. prerogative to dictate the action of the con- vention; and the delegate from his plough feels that he is in truth a sovereign in his actions, and has right beyond the practice of obedience to the wire pullers." We like the indications of this ge- nuine sovereignty. We hope they will be followed out, for then we shall have harmony, compromises, and a strong tic’ f A resident here cannot fail to be struck wi numerous intelligent faces of the delegate: lected from all quarters of the Union, we see in the countenance of almost every man an assu- rance that he knows what he is about, and an evidence that he understands the importance of his business. They pass their time quite mer- rily. The lobbies’ of the two houses were thronged with them to-day, and they were in high favor among the members. It was a sort of levee in either end of the Capitol to-day, in which the imembers of the Senate and the House respectively did the honors of reception, After the adjournment the avenue was thronged; after dinner there was something like a town meeting in front of each of the hotels, witha caucus in the reading rooms, and a re-union at the bar, Juleps and sherry cobblers were in de- mand, for the cae was warm. Vast quantities of segars were smoked, and the perplexities of the convention were discussed by everybody. The candidates to-day looked remarkably well. Gen. Cass wore a perpetual smile; the elegant look- ing Vice-President was as bland as the south wind, when the sun sets in the golden Occident. Gen. Houston looked every inch a King, and Mr. King, of Alabama, looked younger by ten years than when he left this city to do honor to his ‘country as its minister at St. Cloud. Mr. Buchanan was pre- eminent in a gracious and dignified deportment and appearance, as we saw him emerging from the vestibule of the Senate. Mr. Allen wore a et. the to perceive the Siopt the, wisdom of Wes: conc ion, must nommate Mr. Clay, Something will depend = their bump of caution. It may all look very fair to them, and still ‘the cat may be in the meal.”” Some knowing men here perceive, as they think, thatit is all hmmnbag about the Northeraers desir:ay a Northern man for President. Tl.ey say 11 1t ha been so they would have united ubon some one man; instead of that, there are no fess than tour candidates north of Mason’s and Dixen’s line. This lack of unanimity discovers the want ot desire on the part of the people to accomplish the object. The idea first occurred with Mr. Benton, during the lifetime of Mr. Wright, and it was not difficult to perceive the object. ‘The people would as soon have a Southern man with national prin- f Northern man with ciple: Sa Southern prin- ‘To-day Mr. Calhoun spoke in the Senate. He is a very deliberate speaker, calm and logical; generally wrong in his premises and his conclu- sions; always to one side, and that happens to be against the administration. After his speech there 3 some desultory remarks between him and General Cass, when Mr Foote stepped in and con- cluded the whole most beautifully. QvackEnnos. Wasminaton, May 19, 1848. The Senate—The Ocean Mail Steam Company, and the Spanish War Steamers. The Senate, to-day, passed the West Point appro- priation bill, with an appropriation, moved by Mr. Atherton, of $2000, for a Board of Visiters this year. They also passed the House bill for the admission of Wisconsin into the Union ; also, a pension bill to the widows and orphans of the sailors and marines who were lost in the wreck of the United States brig Somers, Also, two bills introduced by Mr. Dix were pass- ed—No. 270 and No. 271—as follows: +. [8.270.) +4 Bill concerning Spanish Steam Vessels. Be it enacted, &e., That all laws now in force, ex- acting higher duties on Spanish steam vesscls arriving in the United States, than aro exacted on steam ves- sels of the United States arriving at Havana, or any other port in the Island of Cuba, be suspended, so ax to place the said steam vessels on a footing of perfect reciprocity—the suspension to continue so long as such reciprocity shall be thereby secured, or until otherwise provided for by law. ec. 2. And be it further enacted, That ifany high- than those before mentioned, shall have been or xhall be paid by any Spanish steamer arriving in the United States, on or after the first day of May, one thousand eight hundred and forty-cight, the Secrota- of the Treasury is hereby authorized to refund the samo. [S. 271] A Bill authorizing the issuing of a Register tothe Spa- nish vessels Tridente and Cetro, for a limited time. Be it enacted, ke.: That there be issued, under the direction of the Secretary of the Treasury, a register to each of the Spanish steam vessels, Tridente and Cetro, for the purpose of enabling them to be employed in a lino of ocean steamships, to run between the ports of New-York, New Orleans, and Vora Cruz, touching Key Weat, er any intermediate point in the U. States, if found desirable, on the same footing as vessels of the United States : Provided, That the said steam vessels shall be officered and manned by, and be under the en- tire control of, citizens of the U. States; and that the profits arising from the employment of said vessels shall belong to them; and, Provided, also, that the privi- leges conferred by this act shall cease as soon as the owners of said line of ocean steamships shall be able to supply the place of the above named Spanish steam vorsels, by steam vessels built in the United States; and that said privileges shall, in no event, continue beyond the period of two years from the passage of this act No. 270, relating to Spanish steam vessels, is in- tended especially to apply to the Spanish war steam- er Guadalquiver, which is ‘expected at New York in a few dafs for repairs. The bills have yet to pass the House. ; i ‘The Senate next took up private bills, and after some time spent upon them, adjourned over to Monday neat, from which day they will adjourn over to Monday.

Mr. Dix, tow jours le meme, seemed equally influenced by the general presentiment of an auspicious pronuncia- mento. There are perhaps not less than a thousand strangers now “in this city on account of this Baltimore convention, and we rejoice to see that there is quite a fair proportion of ladies, old and young, among them. The younger class of delegates make a merry time of the interval to the meeting for busine Many of the more staid and old fashioned from the interior follow the good old country fashion of oing to bed at sun-down and getting up at d: ight ia the morning, which gives them an int lude of five hours’ exercise before breakfast. The President keeps open house to-night, and many of the sovereigns have gone up to see him, and to congratulate him on the success of the war —the great letter of Secretary Marcy, and the treaty of Mr. Trist. ‘ A : The first hard task for tg convention will be the question of receiving or rejecting the barn- burners. They will perhaps be admitted half and half with the old hunkers, with the understanding that they abide the decision of the convention upon the nominees and the address to the people. Believing that they will hardly do this, and in- credulous of the prospect of a compromise upon the proviso question, and believing that Cass Bae the advantages of the field before him, we are ap- prehensive that the barnburners will have no voice in the convention. The only hope left of a com- promise—the only hope left for New York, is a bar- ain, to wit: Give the barnburners the State ticket for the State offices for their support of the federal nominations. Even this arrangement is dubious, and there is reason to fear that New York will be thrown out of the estimate. Tue Doctor. Wasiinetox, May 15, 1848. The Combat Decpens—Gen. Worth’s Letter—Poli- tical Wire-working—Grand Disturbance More to be Seen By and By-Delegates Coming In— Candidates Excited--Mr. Calhown’s Speech. The clouds are fast gathering, and thick, in the political atmosphere of this great city. Both the political parties have been excited, and that ex- citement is increasing. Worth’s letter came out yesterday morning in the Union. It was under- stood previous to its publication, that it was the best bid which had been made by any of the can- didates for the presidency, and some went so far as to suppose that it would secure the contract from the people for the next four years. After looking at the other bids of Cass, Buchanan, &c., it was thought to be too good by many politicians, and be- ng exposed to the dew of last night and the sun of this morning, it has entirely evaporated. cuments or letters of a similar ¢ ed to arrive before the meeting of the Baltimore. It is more amusing 1 ness the manauvres of the various wire. in the political drama.

Mr. Polk still professes to be no candidate, but gdimits that he will accept the nomination, provi- jed the convention should find his name necessary for union and harmony. It is through his friends, however, that the two-third rule is to be persisted in, which is calculated to bring about that very state of affairs in the convention which may in- duce them to unite on “ Polk and Dix. The Rev. Robert Emory, president ot Dickinson College, whose illness I mentioned a few days since, I regret to announce, died in this city during Thursday night. He was but 34 years of age, am already ranked among the most eminent divines of the Methodist Episcopal Church, of which his fa- ther died a bishop. He will be buried to-morrow, and, I doubt not, followed to the grave by the en- tire Methodist portion of our population. The Mechanics’ fair is progressing gloriously. The halls were crowded last night wih visiters, and the machinery in the lower hall was working admirably. Baurmore, May 20, 1848. Proceedings of the General Assembly of the Presby- terian Church. The General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church assembled yesterday morning, pursuant to adjournment. After prayer by the Moderator, the standing committees were announced. On motion of Mr. Walter Lowry and Dr. Cuyler, the reports of the Boards of Foreign and Domestic Missions, and of Edueation, were referred to the ng committee, with instructions to report on y, Wednesday, and F t, which was ; , N. H. Harding, A. B. Kemper, — Overtures from the Presbytery of Philadelphia were received, relative to church music, and other matters, were received, and appropriately referred. Several nfrratives, relative to the state of religion in the several Presbyteries, were received, and appropri- ately referred, On motion of Dr. Kneus, it was resolved to appoint delegates to visit the churches with whom the Generai Asxembly ix in correspondence. A letter from the General Assembly of Ireland was presented, and referred, without being read to the con mittee on foreign correspondence. and a motion th all foreign correspondence should be so referred was adopted. A statement from Maria Stebbins, against the and Presbytery of New York, and one in re John Cathey, of North Carolina, being, we understood, an appeal, were presented, and referred to the judicial committee, Dr. Puvstaen made a report relutive to the pecuniary management of the several boards for beneve pores, under the manage: h A complaint from a minority of the Albany Prosby- tery against a decision, and ‘a complai MeCandless against the synod ture from the synod of Montg. bership ; a request fr od of Ohio on cong gational representation communication from the reformed church in Scotland, with a pamphlet i z some reference to slavery, were severally r ferred ; also an overture from the presbytery Luzerne, ona rule for the examinatson and reception of ministers Reports from the seminaries were called for, and those from Princet Western The of this city, presented a Methodist Episcopal their pulpits to the neral assembly, which was appro- ration fr ndering the members of th priately referred. ‘The assembly then adjourned for dinner, and assem- bled again at 4 o'clock. ‘The first business was the appointing of a place of meeting for the next general assembly. Pittsburg and St. Louis were named, but the former was chosen by a vote of 132 to 20. ‘ The report of the Committee on Christian Union, appointed by the late general assembly, was read by Dr, Krebs, and accepted. The stated clerk read the report of a committee ap- pointed at the last general asseinbly to examine certain overtures of the Presbytery of Louisiana, in regard to the construction put upon certain parts of the consti- tution of the church, and amendments proposed; al+o certain enquiries in regard to the power of Synods over Presbyteries. The report was made the order of the day for Thursday next On motion of the Rev. Dr. Kerns, it was resolved that at 10 o'clock to-morrow morning. the Rey. Dr. Bridell, of Paris, have leave to address the Assembly on the sub- ject of the evangelization of France, in connection with the recent events which have oecurred in that country; and that immediately thereafter the Rev.

Whenever a minister from any cause, not in- ferring heresy or crime, shall be incapable of serving the chureh to edification, the Presbytery shall take or- der on the subject, and state the fact, together with their reasons for it, on their records. And when any person has thus ceased to be ap acting minister, he shall not be a member of any Presbytery or Synod, but shall be subject to discipline as other ministers. Pro- vided always, that nothing of this kind shall be done without the consent of the individual in question, ex- cept by the advice of the Synod. ‘The Judiciary Committee reported on the complaint of Maria Stebbins, against the Presbytery of New York, harging the complaint, and giving the complainant leave to withdraw her ra. ‘The lady complaining was present, and occasioned some confusion in the As- sembly by audibly protesting against the action of the committee. On the case of Dr. A. G. McCandless, on an appeal from the Presbytery of Wheeling. the committee also period, referring the case back to the Presbytery. The report was adoptod. The Rev. Dr. Cu . of Philadelphii much feeling and solemnity announced to t! bly thaa since its meeting for the afternoon, he had re- ceived s letter from Mr. James H.Green, of Philadelphia. announcing that his father, the venerable Dr. Ashbel Green, had expired at his residence in that city, this morning. at 6 o'clock. Dr. C. then went on to gi brief sketch of the life of the venerable deceased. his youth, during the war of Independence, he assumed arms, and assisted to fight the battles of his country. On the return of peace. he resumed his studies, and 61 years ago, was ordained a minister, and took charge of the 2d Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia. He re- mained in connection with this congregation for twelve years, and was elected, in connection with the late Dr. White, Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the State of Pennsylvania, one of the Chap- lains of the United States Congress, and continued in the discharge of the duties of the office until the seat of government was removed to Washington. Subse- quently, he was elected principal of the Theological Seminary at Princeton, the duties incident to which office he discharged with honor and ability for many years, and until his return to Philadelphia, where he became editor of the Christian Advocate, giving to that paper a character and standing which the older members of the church would readily recollect. He was also tho author of a work on the Shorter Catechism, which would long cause his name and services to be held in veneration by the church. At. the time of his death he lacked but one week of being 86 years old, and throughout his long life had so so conducted himself as consistent, deyoted, and prayerful Christian, as to cure the love and esteem of ali, and cause him to be regarded as indeed a patyiarch in the church. The Doetor concluded by moving the appointment of a committee to report to the General Assembly a minute in relation to the death of Dr. Green, and that the Assembly now adjourn as a further mark of respect. ‘The Moderator announced the following as the com- mittee Rev. Dr. Cuyler and Krebs, Rey. Jas. W. Stewart, and Messrs. Hepburn and Banks. And after prayer by Dr. Cuyler, the Assembly ad- journed. Puwapevrnia, May 20, 1848. Destructive Fure—Convictions for Murder, Man- slaughter and Forgery—The Baltimore Conven- tion Excitement, §c. Another destructive fire occurred last night, breaking out about 11 o’clock, in Messrs. T. & L. Thompson’s extensive mahogany and marble saw mill, at the corner of Ridge road and Buttonwood street, Spring Garden. The whole establishment was destroyed, and the fire extended to the two large public school houses, on Battonwood and Pleasayt streets, causing great damage to the up- per stories. The mill was filled with a large stock of mahogany and marble, and the loss to the pro- prietors cannot be much less than $40,000, of which only $6,000 was insured. The adjoining house of Mr. T. Thompson was damaged, by the rear being crushed from the falling of the wall of the mill. A portion of the mill was occupied by Wim. & J. Al- en, cabinet makers, who lose $4,000. The school houses destroyed accommodated nearly 1,000 pu- pils, which gives the best idea of the extent of the uildings and the serious nature of the loss, For- tunately the damage is covered by insurance sufli- ciently large to repair the buildings. The fire commenced in the engine room, whether from ac- cident or incendiarism is not known. Major Daniels was this morning discharged from custody, Judge Parsons having decided adverse to the requisition of Governor Young, of New York, for the possession of the prisoner, declaring him to be not a fugitive from justice. ‘i Judge King has sentenced James Riley, con- vioted of (murder in the second degree, for killing James Anderson, to twelve years’ imprisonment, the full extent of the law. y Michael Redding, who pleaded guilty to the manslaughter of Peter Hurd, was sentenced ts two years’ imprisonment. , : i Thomas Pennington, convicted some time since of the forgery of a note of $1000, was sentenced to seven years’ imprisonment. For the three other indictments of similar character, to which he pleaded guilty, nominal sentences were pronounced. For the convenience of those who desire to at- tend the Democratic Convention at Baltimore, an extra line will be run to-morrow by the steamboat Ohio, from Dock-street wharf, so that by starting from New York on Sunday morning, any of your citizeng can be in Baltimore the same evening; or by waiting here for the train, can reach the latter city before daylight the next morning. he reception of General Cadwalader yesterday surpassed public expectation in its brilliancy, and the spirit of enthusiasm that pervaded the multi- tude. The division was out in its strength, and never has it presented so fine an appearance since the departure of their favorite commander, to re- ceive whom they paraded. As Gen. Cadwalader passed along Chestnut-street, a lady threw hima wreath of laurel ornamented with roses. Puuapenrmia, May 17, 1848. Baltimore Convention—“ Prince John” and his Re- cruits—Defiance with a Proviso—Our City— Strangers—Biscaccianti—The Drama, $c. The great “live or die” day of the democrats approaches, and I have positively a sensation th the world moves gradually upon its axis, and that it will larly si y toils on the 22d inst., to a squint in Bal- timore—doings which are to perpetuate the power of the democrats, and, as they say, secure the wel- fare of true republican liberty, or hand over the reins to the whigs, who, by the same authority, love moneyed monopolies and a narrow, restricted policy, domestic and foreign.” Now, I wish to say, in advance, to my whi friends and fellow citizens who are flattering them- selves with hopes ef fatal schisms in the demo- cratie ranks, affecting harmonious action in the coming Baltimore convention, that they reckon not at all according to Gunter John Van Buren and his recruits—fully as meged and wretched in principles, if not in dress, a3 those of his “illustrious predecessor,” Jack Faltafl—will find the convention governed by the same two- thirds rule which threw his father upon his back in 1844. Moreover, he and his followers will be politely refused seats, while the “old hunkers” will be as politely turned into nicely-cushioned chairs, and become part and parcel of the conven- tion.“ Prince John” will, in other words, be told that the feeling of the convention is repugnant to the Wilmot proyiso disorganization,and that he had better pleasantly and cheerfully submit. But he will not be sent off without. a loat of comfort— without, a sugar-plum—hopeful of keeping him quiet; for it will be announced to him that the question of “ free tenant so turbulent, shall be subm democratic part of the cow and that the action of future bodies of k shall be governed by 1 decision of the’ masses in the premises, Other concessions will, proba- bly, be made, of a trifling nature, such as, the se- lee a middling man for the dency; a sprinkling of consulships for prominent followers ; and it will be hoped that John Van Buren may be satisfied. Should he still, prove perverse—should he threaten to withdraw his troops, and give over New York to the enemy, he will then be told to go and “do his darndest.” Maine and New Hamp- shire will be made sure for the nominee of the con- vention, and with Tennessee, which will also. be made sure, and all the States which went for Mr, Polk, aided by new States that have come in since 1844, it will be believed that the democratic nomi- nee can positively triumph without New Y Our city presents a glorious appearane The weather is, generally speaking, good, and every body is out of doors.

Good all this, for a frill, or a flounce upon the de- mure exterior of right angledom. Signora Biseaccianti arrived in town with Pe- relli and Norelli yesterday, ard gives a concert to- night at the Musical Fund, which will, without doubt, be largely attended. ‘The signora is deemed by our citizens the first singer, at present, in our country; and her friends, Novelli and Perelli, also, have ardent admirers among us.

FIRST SESSION. House of Representatives. Wasninaton, May 19, 1848. THE SLAVE CASH AGAIN. In Committee of the Whole, the bill for the relief of the legal representatives of Benjamin Hodges, was, af- ter a few remarks by Mr. Chapman, by a vote of 69 to 69, ordered to be laid aside tobe reported to the House, with a recommendation that it pass. It will be recollected that last week this bill was de- bated, a report of which appeared in the Herald. ‘Tho claim is for a slave who was carried away by the Bri- tish at the close of the last war, and under tho treat: of Ghent a provision was made by which the English government appropriated money, and deposited it into treasury of th: United States, to pay for this, among other species of [oP eb A bill for the legal representives of Cornelius Man- ning, similar in principle, was taken up to day; when Mr. Dickny, of Pennsylvania, delivered his views in opposition to the bill, insisting that the constitution does not recognise slaves as property, and that the de- cision of the Supreme Court, in the cage of Groves vs. ighter, sustained this assertion, notwithstanding what waa last Saturday insisted upon by the gentleman from South Carolin: Mr. Burr reiterated his arguments, and maintained that the Supreme Court never gave such a degicion. DISSOLUTION OF THE UNION, Mr. Strenens, of Georgia, said that the question had nothing to do with the question of slavery; it was sim- ply whether the applicant was entitled to indemnity under the treaty of Ghent, which made provision for the loss of slavex and other private property. The preme Court has never decided that there is no proper- ty in slaves. He would ask of the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Giddings) whether he desired to see the Union dissolved, Mr. Gropixs—I have no hopes or fears of threats bout a dissolution of the Union. Every schoolboy, man, and girl, in Ohio, would laugh to hear about a dissolution of the Union, You can’t kick the slave States fromus. They would cling to the plank while the billows arerolling. Don’t we know that the slave States are dependent upon us for their existence? Mr, Steruxs—I made no threats, | indulged in no threats; Imade none; I intimated none. You shall not put such language in my mouth, I put the ques- tion—Do you desire a dissolution of the Union? The FyR omen says that he has no hopes or fears. 1 ask im what he means by having no hopes? I have made no threats; but I teli him my hopes are dim, dim al- ready, a8 to all good results from perpetuating this Union. If the gentleman, or those who act with him, wish to dim these hopes, let them not gotoofar. He will see whether or not we know our rights, “and, knowing, dare maintain them;” and ajl who calculate and count that wo will nos, will be deceived. Mr Gropixcs—Wiil the gentleman permit me—[“No, dent,” “go on ”’) Mr. Sternens—The gentleman has no fears. collect, if 1am not in error, that the gentleman one nounced that the Union was already dissolved. 1 think that I heard such an announcement fram hin. How does he dare tell it tathe House and the country that nothing binds us together? I tell the gentlemen who sympathise with him, that their conduct is 2alculated to lead to a dissolution of the Union. If this is not what the gentlemen wish, I do not know. Their are in all parts of the country whigs as well democrats who are ardently attached to this glorious Union, made by our fathers, and they will die by it. They do not sympathise with the gentleman from Ohio. Some few agree with him; but that the many desire to pull down tho glorious structure of liberty, | do not believe. None who would. do so can be found in Pennsylvania. New York, or Mas- sachusetts, to any great extent. They are bound to- gether as a band of brothers. The question of dissolu- tion ofthe Union is gotten up for ulterior purposes.— But it is for the committee to decide whether the appli- cant in the bill before us comes within the provisions of the treaty of Ghent. 1 would go bofore the consti- tuents of either the gentleman from Pennsylvani New Hampshire or Ohio, (Messrs. Dickey, Tuck and Giddings.) and ask them whether, according to the treaty made botween the United States and Great Bri- tain, wherein provision was made for slaves captured, we should wi id the money from claimants, 1 would not be afraid to address an Ohio, Connecticut, or a Massachusetts constituency. I would ask them whether we would do right or not, Mr. Dickry.—I would say that if the gentlemen de- sired me totake money away from those who were specially provided for. I would do no such thing. Mr. Sreeuess.—Neither will my constituents. should consider myself a rougue if 1 did. But the ge tleman shall not escape. If he expects to sus! self before his constituents— Mr. Dick: 1 wish to explai: s—You had better explain, [Laughter.] Mr. Dicxey—Whilst I would not take money belong- ing to other claimants for those not entitled to it, neither will | take money from the Treasury to pay for slaves as property, Mr. Sternens—That is not the question. It is whe- ther we shail take the money which the British have ilo to pay the claims of those for whose benefit it was placed in the Treasury. Mr. Dicxey—TIs not the money already appropriated to claimants under the treaty ?—and is not this a case not entitled to any money, cither from the Treasury or the British fund ? Mr. Steruens—I say no. There is a surplus of $1700 from the money paid into the Treasury by the British government. ‘It will yot take a dollar from your Treasury ; and! say that the only question is whether the claimants in the bill before us ure entitled to a participation of this fund. It has nothing to do with slavery in the abstract or in the concrete, It has been settled by John Quincy Adams himself. Mr. Dicxry—I did not #ay that | would not pay to those who were entitled to the money under the treaty. Mr. Steenexs—Then you haye given up the ques- I re- tion. Mr. Die No. Mr. SternHens—I know that the gentleman cannot stand on that ground. Mr. Dickey—The gentleman must not misrepresent what I stated, (laughter) neither he nor any other. (Laughter). There was a report made to this House in a former Congress on this very question, which asserted that this claim did not come within the treaty. Mr. Sternens—The gentleman wants to get offon that . Suppose the report was made; suppose com- mnittees bave reported that the claimant is entitled to the money; what will the gentleman say. (having doubts on what the committee said,) when he is told that three committees reported in favor of it ? 1 would 0 before his constituents and ask whether they who hang their doubts— Mr. Diexry—I suppove that my constituents would aay that the doubts arc so great that the bill ought to be recommitted to ascertain the facts. AN APPRAL. Mr. StxrHexs—I do not know that they would doubt . I believe that the ground taken by the gentlemen from Now Hampshire, Ohio and Pennsylva- nia (Messrs, ‘Tuck Giddings, and Dickey) was. that they will not vote to pay for slaves as property. Has the gentleman from Pennsylvania abandoned hix ground? I wish to say not only to democrats, but to whigs of the North, as the constitution is to be valucd Teall on them to pause before they embrace the doc- trines of the gentleman from Ohio, (Mr. Giddings), the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. Palfret) and the gentloman from New Hampshire (Mr. Tack) does not proclaim himself a v big. those, whose object at the commencement of the session was to defeat the organization of the house. 1 ask the whigs of the North and the South whether they. will attempt to fraternize with them? I wish them’to un- derstand I have no sympathy with them. If the whigs of the North will give theniselves up to these gentle- men, they must take the consequences, If they feel as did the patriots of Massachusetts, Georgia, and th Old Dominion, and other parts—if they eau catch the principles of our revolutionary sires—they will find me and the whigs of the South, ‘shoulder to shoulder in every coming contest. On the suecess of the princi- ples, as defended and advoeated by the whig party, | believe the Union depends, Where is the man willing to give them up? [f the day ever comes, | will ask my whig brethren whether the principles of the Union are not worth more to them than the principles of the gentleman from Ohio, and those who act with him, and whether they will not hold on to the broad platform ? Mr. Lanst spoke a few words in favor of the bill un- der consideration. Mr, Evans thought that the committee had heard enough of this subject, and he mo that the bill be reported to the House, with a recommendation that it however, read the article from the treaty of to show that the money appro- priated by Great Britain was for “ negroos or other property.” n motion of Mr. Cocke, the committee rose, and he submitted a resolution, which was agroed to, terminat- ing the debate on the bill in five minutes, The House again went into committee. A DEPENC Mr. Tuck, of New Hamshire, after a few words, which we could not hear, was understood to say, in reply to Mr. Stephens, I came here with sentiments well under- stood by my constituents; and, so help me God, whe- ther J remain here a long or a short time, I will main- tain them. I have no alarms, When my constituents desire me to retire, | will do so, Iam no politician—I made uo stump speeches; it if not the custom in the Northern States. | have not done it in any instance, The five minutes, to which the debate was restricted, expired. Mr. Duncan explained an amendment which he of- fered. A CALL TO ORDER. Mr. Grovixes—(after moving an amendment)—I feel disirous to say to the gentleman from Georgia, that I did not say that I would not deliver up slaves who es- caped from their masters, The statement is incorrect. I wish to pronounce it a novelty, 1 wish to say, fur- ther -—— Mr. ©. J, Ivcensou—I rise to a quontion of order.

Mr. Gippiwa#—I am speaking in reply to the gentle- man from Georgia. Sir, the men from the North will not listen toa slaveholder. (Loud cries of “ order’? from various parts of the hall. Mr. Haskect rose to a question of order, Mr. Gippivas continued to speak amid the general confusion. The Cuaimman insisted that Mr. Giddings come to order. Mr. Hasxevt stated hiv point: that the gentleman from Ohio must confine himself to the subject ma\ of his amendment, and that he is out of order when proceeds to personalities and enters inty generalities. ‘The Cuainmay decided Mr. Giddngs to be out of or- der. Mr. Gippivos again essayed to speak; when Mr. Jones of Tennessee, suid that he could not speak without the consent of the committee. Mr, Gipopns Ihave the floor.

Mr. Gippincs made a remark which we did not hear, and took his seat. Mr. Venue offered an amendment, and explained it. ‘The Committee rose, and under the operation of the previous question, the bills for the relief of the legal representatives of Benjamin Hodges and Cornelius Manuing (payment for slaves taken away by the Bri- ish, and which was provided for in the treaty of Ghent) were passed; the first by a vote of—yeas, 125; nays, 28 ‘An effort was made to adjourn over till Monday at 9o'clock;but it failed—yeas, 55; nays, 78; und then an adjournment took place until forenoon. Life in the South. [Cor, Newark Daily Advertiser.) Macox, Ga., May 2, 1848,-Those who remain at home know but little of the newer portions of our country, and will not believe, when told, of the prime- val style of living in some of the southern and western tates. I recently stopped with a friend on “court day.” The court house was of logs. without a floor, and was the only building in the place that could boast two stories, We alighted to witness the organi- zation of, a western court, to see the judges and ex- ‘pounders of the law. A yard encircled the house, on the outside of which were tied about fifty horses. and the eg was filled with men witnessing a cock-fight, The orier came out, made a proclamation, and the “court” entered the building, and seated themselves on a bench made of two stumps and an unplaned board, The Grand Jury were sworn, and putin charge of an officer, who turned and left the room, followed by the grand inquest in single file. He picked up a ladder near by, placed it against the house under an opening left in the logs, and ascended, followed by the honorable body: this was called the grand jury room, After electing their clerk, they descended, and fol- lowed the oficer to the woods in front, and there, on a fallen tree, commenced their deliberations. An ima- ginary line wasdrawn around them, over which no one entered until called to give evidence. As we re- turnod in the afternoon, they had finished their busi- ness, and rose to present their bills, following the offi- cer in Indian file. Before reaching the court house, a stout, belligerent looking fellow approached the fore- man toknow if he was indicted. Thing answered in the negative, three cheers burst spontaneously from the crowd, and whiskey bottles from almost every sad- dle bag where ciroulated through the crowd. A cock fight, which had been interrupted in the yard, now took place. * * ‘ * * * We started, and before we had proceeded half a mile past the first turn we were in 4 dense forest; no sign of any track could he fgund. ‘The limbs of the trees tord off the top of my buggy, and it seomed impossible to penctrate further. We looked back, and would have returned, but to turn w move ap- peared equally so. We fancied we could see an open- ing through the trees in front, and determined to make one more effort. Crouched down on the bot- tom of the buggy as closely as possible.to provent being swept over the seat backward, we chiruped to the steed and he started, scraping aff saplings underneath, as they gave way to the axle, and shot up against the bo- dy whey released from the pressure of the front axle. My coat tails were caught and we attempted to stop, but old Bob was too headstrong; he dashed on. when my skirt parted and released me; S. roared out stop, we are over: stop I could not, the horse was wild and minded not the rein, Hold, hold, said S., it will tear my eyes out; my clothes are torn off, my face bruised; stop, for Heaven's sake, stop! we can never get through. So I thought, but the horse kept on. I ask- ed S. if he ever expected to see daylight not a word did he answer for some time. At length his cou- Tage was roused and he said,“If I do I will make a note of this; it is growing late and we shall have to remain here all night. Oh!” but before he could say more the limb gave way and passed over our heads with a terrible crash, and in a moment more we were in a circular spot ot bald praire. covered with the violet colored prairie flower. Our horse stopped in- stantly to rejoice with us. The little spot we were in was surrounded by a forest as dense as the one just passed; not a print of anything could be seen to show that mortal foot ever trod there before. We examined every part of the wood, but no egress could be found, and’ we decided that we ought to go west, and prepared for another effort. The good oid horse, ashe came up to the brash, made a leap and rushed in, We had to hug the bottom of the buggy as closely as possible and let him go. Ripping, tearing and snorting, he went for half mile. Here we found a place apparently travelled before. and stopped to take breath. Woe found the prints of horses, and one wagon track. We followed it; the mud grew deeper and deeper, and old Bob losped as a horse in a snow bank till he came to a dead halt, and refused to move. We dare not whip him, fearing he might lie down. The gnats and mosquitoes gathered around us in swarms, and fairly darkened the prairie. At last I alighted ona log near by—had ou my best suit and gaiters—my coat, by the by—minus one skirt. Into it T went to lead the horse, and found the hames otf the collar, and resting on his bare shoulders, Putting them on, offhe went. deeper and deeper at each leap. At iast, down went the horse in a hole up to his neck, and stopped. I never knew what a prairie slough was re. Well may they cail it a“ slew,” for it is enough slay man and horse to pass it. ‘There I was ona sands S. and the buggy in the hole, with a slough four feet doep between us. How could I get there ? Patting old Bucephalus and coaxing him awhile, 1 prevailed upon him to start, allowing him to stop and blow every few yards. We soon struck a fence—this was prima facie evidence of civilization—and led to a hope that some specimen of human nature was not far distant. We followed the fence, jolting, thumping and scratching along until we came to a“ clearin’,” and finding a house, the old lady invited us to take supper. We were ia a hurry, and told her if she would direct us to the main road we would proceed, She said it was two miles, but she had never been out there since she settled “in them diggins,”? which was fourteen years ago; but her son John would show us the way. We reached our destination, and finding the landlord out, went in, The house is of logs, with a puncheon floor ; there is not acarpet on it. A piano graces the parlor. and look through the interstices high-backed, old- fashioned, with split hickory seats, woven together after the fashion af corn baskets ; one wooden settee, no mirror, a three-corner cupboard, and about 20 volumes of books : and this is the residence of one of the rich planters! How the first man penetrated there, imagination cannot picture. preciate the word * isolated’? until on the 1og steps of one of these prairie residences. Suicwe oF a f past 6 o’- clock, on Saturday evening, the 13th instant, some persons tound in the woods, about a quarter of a mile trom the tavern at Tuckahoe, Cape May Co.
