eee ~~ (NTELLIGENCE BF THE MAILS, ‘Wasnineton, May 80, 1048, ‘The Hero of Chapultepec, ‘The Herakd contained, a tew days since, a para- graph taken from the New Orleans Picaywne, which ascribes to Lieutenant Mayne Reid, the credit of having, at the head of forty men, been the | first to seale the walls of Chapultepec. That this is { an error, is seen in the official report, which say: Lieutenant Reed was wounded prior to sintering the works, and was thereby disabled and prevente: from advancing. It is a matter of extensive no- toriety throughout the army, that Lieutenant James Ward Henry, now, I believe, in the city of New York, recruiting, was not only the first officer in the works, but also, the first man. It is not my wish to detract from the credit due to Lieutenant Reid, for gallant conduct; nor will this correction do so, for honors wrongly bestowed oppress the wearer: it is to place the honor where 1 of right belongs. The official report in relation to the Cha- pultepee affair says:—" Notwithstanding the diffi- cult nature of the ground, intersected as it was by | numerous ditches, and swept by a galling fire from the enemy, the regiment I had the honor to com- mand was the first at the ditch, the first in the enemy’s works, and the first to place the national flag upon the conquered castle.

There are a few men in the present Congress, and some who were in the lust, who may treasure up the comfortable reflection that on their heads is all the blood that has lately been shed in Oregon. It is every day becoming more and more obvious to every body here, however it may escape the at- tention of the mass of people at a distance, that Congress no longer accomplishes the design of its creation—not that it cannot, but that it will not Atthe last session, in the faction fights of the democratic party, the Oregon bill was killed; the means placed at the disposal of the executive, two years ago, for the protection ef emigrants, were converted to another purpose ; the late disastrous occurrences have inspired Mr. Polk with no other sentiments than a desire to be armed with further patronage ; and for aught that appears at present, Oregon may be left helpless at the mercy of the savages for another year, and abandoned to follow the dictates of necessity in seeking a protector. Last spring the Secretary of State, as the organ of the government, gave the people of Oregon a solemn assurance that every means would be used at this session to spread over the territory the protection of our laws. Every means at his dis- posal have been used, and yet Congress, already six months in session, have done absolutely no- thing for the security of the lives and property of our fellow citizens in that territory. Was there any hindrance to the passage of a bill!’ None what- ever. Congress, in very wantonness, has sported with the lives of the people; and the only emotion stirred up in the mind of the President by the in- telligence of the expenditure of so much blood, is a desire to be furnished with further means of pampering his parasites; and the House makes political speeches; and the Senate, disgusted at the inflated self-importance of its ignorant chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, stands still. Six months have they been deliberating, and still no Oregon bill. The whole power of the govern- ment, from the President down to his servilest lacquey in the Senate, was employed for a whole month in avenging him of his private malice on a newspaper correspondent who had disobliged him by exposing his intrigues for a re-election; and hav- ing exerted themselves to the utmost, they were obliged at length to declare themselves foiled. — They should in future adopt for their motto, ‘‘*mag- no conatu nihil egimus.” For the last six months, a_memorial has been before Congress, signed by Dr. Quenaudon, for- aay of Philadelphia, who commanded a troop of cavalry in the Seminole war, which memorial em- braces the true mode of settling Oregon with en- tire safety. This paper sets forth, that the doctor desires to form a colony on the Pacific, or some spot in the vicinity of the Columbia or Umpqua river, to be composed of farmers and mechanics from the United States, and of emigrants from Europe ; that he has already engaged tires thou- sand persons from Pennsylvania and other States, who are ready to proceed at once to Oregon; that, on his arrival, he will organize the emigrants into as many regiments as their numbers will admit of, which regiments he will keep drilled and disci- plined for the protection of the colony. He asks, on behalf ot himself and his associates, a grant of land, on the assurance that on each section of six hundred and forty acres, they will bring an ac- tual settler within the period of five years. ‘There is no reason why a bill should not forth- with pass, in accordance with the prayer of this wall.” memoral. Here is a body of men, hardy, enter- | prising, industrious, and many of them having seen hard service in the field, Who desire to pro- ceed at once to the Pacific, and who guaranty protection to the neighborhood where they are to settle. They wish to locate in one particular in order that their party may not be dispersed and so weakened as to become an. easier prey to the savages.

The numerous perils of the end the constant hazards to which « small and k settlement is exposed, are thus avoided.

The greater part of the session of the House of Representatives to-day, was occupied in the dis- cussion of a bill introduced by Mr. McKay, from the old Nozth State, to regulate the appointment of clerks, by requiring them to serve a year on proba- tion, and then undergo an examination by a board appointed for that purpose. This examination will not be competent applicants ; they will be glad of an opportunity to disclose their merits; but the ignorant, who have been foisted in office by the influence of members of Congress, heretofore, will continue, as they now do, to quake in their beets, It has been told to me as a fact, by clerks themselves, that some of their companions gunnot write ten lines correctly, and that their pot- objected to by pot, | tion of Oregon is | ion, we hope to | the question of | ered at Wil- | au opportunity to give them to the pub It was on | te terference of in other words, to prevent Mr. co, the Russian minister, trom’ inter ring in the legal affairs of Major Tochman, who claims to be the attorney for the next of kin of Gen.

A letter to this effect has come direct to a gentleman now in this place, who is on terms of very great intimacy with Mr. Clay and his family. Gen. Cass attended the 44 street Presbyterian church this morning, where he met Mr. President Polk, between whom a number of high State gri- maces were observed to be exchanged, viz., Mr. Polk made the bow acknowledging him (Cass) as his successor ; the general bowed back, intimating his confidence in his tuture success, but modestly declining to take any of the present shine out of Mr. President Polk.

The whigs of Congress desire to attend the conven- tion at Philadelphia; but what shall be proposed as a suffiient pretext for adjourning over several days? ‘The taking up of the winter carpots, and the laying down the summer matting on the floors of the two houses, was a very satisfactory apology for a suspen- sion of the business of legislation, pending the busi- ness of the Baltimore Convention; but are not the whigs equally entitled toa furlough? Are not the dif- ficulties which they will have to compromise equally inexplicable and interesting? Just so. But what shall be done in justification of abandoning the capitol for three or four days? We have an expo- dient that will meet the extremity, exactly. . The Com- missioner on Public Buildings has reported that Cratch- ett's long pole. with its iron stays and bracings, on the top of the great dome, are exceedingly dan- gerous. ‘The pole runs up some ninety-six feet above the summit of the dome; it has a lantern on top weighing some fifteen hundred pounds; the commissioner says this lofty apparatus acts, in a high wind, as a great lever in racking and shaking the dome. and that one of these stormy days it may bring the whole establishment, lantern, pole, dome and all, rattling down into the rotunda, upon the heads of the American people. and their servants, and visitors who may be therein assembled, unwarned of the avalanche until buried beneath its ruins. ‘The commissioner far- ther says, that there is danger of the long pole and its iron stays drawing down the lightning into the build- ing. Furthermore, this long pole arrangement has been proved to be far less useful than the distribution of the fame amount of gas around the grounds, in lamps at convenient distances. Now in all this, while we be- lieve that Crutchett, in the discovery of his gas and in its self-evident superiority, has proved himself a public benefactor, in all the objections of Dr. Douglas: against that long pole arrangement, as aforesaid, concord, assent, agree, and coincide. Congress is doubtless of the’ same opinion ; and that the sooner Crutchett’s bird-killer is taken down the better. Here, then, is a way of escape. Pass a resolution re- quiring the taking down of the pole and its fixtures and in consideration of the valuable lives of the mem- bers of the two houses, vote the required adjournment of several days, pending the operation, We call the attention of_the chairman of the public buildings, of her house, to this proposition. Now one word about that treaty. The Washington correspondent of the Journal of Commerce says he has no doubt it is rejected. We have no doubt he desires it to be rejected; and we have an impression that it ix because the said treaty docs not cover space enough to embrace a very large, but not a very weil authenticated class of indemnities, That is our impression. We know that there are se- yeral individuals here and elsewhere largely in- terested in fictitious Mexican claims, which cannot be turned to any unt Under this treaty, and we be- lieve that these individuals would prefer the renewal d indefinite continuance of the war to a ratification ef the treaty. as affording them at least a chance in some way of a speculation with their fictitious paper. Ve ask the correspondent of the Journal of Commerce «is interested in this Mexican trash ? "If he is. let if | him never speak of this Ga again ; if he is not, it is due to himself that he should say so. The Senate to-day, on the Indian bill, had a debate on an amendment proposing to give Col. Kichard M Johnson $10,000 indemuity for the buildings of his Choctaw ‘Academy, which is to be stopped. The amendment lost 1m the House, we believe, was $20 000. and we expect the friends of the old Colonel will have down some $5000 more before they «ucceed. HARGOUS & Co. Wasnixatos, May 30, 1848. Restriction of Debate—.1 Suggestion. To-day, in tho House of Representatives, when an A Y | amendment to the West Point Academy bill was under laws and military succor required to render life | consideration, Mr. Rhett, of South Carolina, arose and gave notice that he intended to depart from his usual practice, and speak about matters and things interest- ing to theceuntry. He had no sooner made the avowal than Mr. Vinton raised a question of order—that, ac- cording to the rules, the gentleman must confine him- self to the question before the committee. To this the chairman agreed, and a debate, running through more than two hours, succeeded; at the termination of which the decision of the chairman (Mr. Toombs) was sustained—ayes 74, nays 72. Thus it was determined that, in committee of the whole on the state of the Union, a speech can not be made on any other subject than that legitimately before the committee. This re- verses ® decision previously made. It has not been inore than three weeks ago when a speech about the war and in favor of Gen.

But now a different course is to be pursued, and members are to be con- fined to the question. It not unfrequently occurs that bills are passed, by a bare majority, under the opera- tion of the gag; and speeches, cut, aried, and well di- gested, are deferred until a hook be presented on which tohang them. It will not do for the carefully prepared lucubrations on philosophy. politics, morals, and new lights, to be lost forever to the country, for the want of and, there- fore. if we were so circumstanced as to receive fr mthe government eight dollars a day, we would introduce a rule that one day in the six be set apart for speaking to Buncombe, or #n eseape pipe under the direction of Professor Expy, be set up, through which to let off the superabundance of oratorical vapor.

The upper part of ‘Kensington has, within the last day or two, been excited by an extraordinary occurrence of female frailty. Two young men, in comfortable circumstances, having had their sus- picions excited, actually discovered the paramours of their wives in very peculiar situations. One was hauled out of bed, where he was nicely tuck- ed in, and the second endeavored to escape from the house by a trap door in the roof, but being dis- covered, was forced to retreat. He then tore down the upper part of the party, wall, and crawled into the next house; but stepping upon the lath and plaster, instead of the joists in the loft,went through the ceiling into the next story, Where a lady was engaged at her toilet. The scene that ensued was Iudicrous in the extreme. The gallant ran down stairs, and escaped from the house; but having lett his coat and-hat behind him, they were identified, and the owner arrested. One of the guilty women was hauled from beneath the bed in which her swain was ensconced, and the femenines have both made themselves scarce, : ‘ _ The incendiaries were at work last night again in Spring Garden.

While I accept, with deep gratitude, this distinguish ed honor—and distinguished indeed it is—I do so with a fearful apprehension of the responsibility it may eventually bring with it, and with a profound convic- tion that it is the kind confidence of my fellow citi- zens, far more than any merit of my own, which has placed me thus prominently before the American peo- ple.

Ihave carefully read the resolutions of the Demo- cratic National Convention, laying down the platform of our political faith. and I adhere to them as firmly, as I approve them cordially. And while thus adhering to them, I shall do so with a sacred regard to “ the principles and compromises of the constitution,” and with an earnest desire for their maintenance “ ina spirit of moderation and brotherly love, so vitally es- sential to the perpetuity of the Union, and the pro: perity and happiness of our common country ;” a fzel- ing which has made us what we are, and which, in humble reliance upon Providence, we may hope is but the beginning of what we are to be. If called upon hereafter to render av account of my stewardship, in the great trust you desire to commit to me, should f be able to show that I had truly redeemed the pledge thus publicly given, and had adhered to the principles of the democratic party with as much fidelity and success as have generally marked the administration of the emi- nent men to whom that party has hitherto confided the chief executive authority of the government, I could prefer no higher claim to the favorable consider- ation of the country, nor to the impartial commenda- tion of history. ‘This letter, gentlemen, closes my profession of po- litical faith.’ Receiving my first appointment from that pure patriot and great expounder of American democracy, Mr. Jefferson, more than forty years ago. the intervening period of my life has been almost wholly passed in the service of iny country, and has been marked by many vicissitudes, and attended with many trying circumstances, both in peace and war. If my conduct in these situations, and the opinions I have been called upon to form and express, from time to time, in relation to all the great party topics of the day, do net furnish a clear exposition of my views ro- specting them, aod ut the same time a sufficient pledge of my faithful adherence to their practieal application, whenever and wherever I may be required to act, any- thing further I might now say would be mere delusion, unworthy of myself, and justly offensive to the great party in Whose name yeu are now acting My immediate predecessor in the nomination by the democratic party. who has since established so many claims to the regard and confidence of his country, when announcing, four years ago, his acceptance of n similar honor, announced also his determination not to be a ecanditate for re-election. Coinciding with him in his views, so well expressed, and so faithfully d out, I beg leave to say, that no ciraumstances can possibly arise which would induce me again to per- mit my name to be brought forward in connection with thy chief magistracy of our country. My incli- nation and my sense of duty equally dictate this course, o party, gentlemen, had ever higher motives for exertion, than has the great democratic party of the United States, With an abiding confidence in the rectitude of our principles, with au unshaken reliance upon the energy and wisdom of public opinion, and with the success which has crowned the administra- tion of the government, when committed to its koep- ing, (and it has been so committed during more than three-fourths of its existence.) what hus beeu done. 1s atonce the rewardof past exertion and the motive for future. and, at the same time. « guaranty for the 4 ishment of what we have to do.

That party is composed of our fellow citizens, as deeply interested in the prosperity of our common coun- try as we can be, and seeking as earnestly as we are to promote and perpetuate it. We shall soon present to the world the sublime spectacle of the election of a Magistrate by twenty millions of people, without ngle serious resistance to the laws, or the sacrifice ‘awards, of N. ‘ommander, of 8. a of the life of one human being—and this, too, in the ab- sence of all foreo but the moral force of our Institu- tions; and if we should add to all this, an example of inutual respect for the motives of the contending par- 0 that the contest might be carried on with that ess and energy whieh accompany deep conviction, and with as little personal asperity as political divisions permit, we should do more for the great cause of human freedom throughout the world, than by any other tri- bute we could render to its value, We have a government founded by the will of all, responsible to the power of all, and administered for the good of all. The very first article in the democra- tic creed teaches that the people are competent to go- vern themselves; it is. indeed, rather an axiom than an article of political faith. From the days of Gene- ral Hamil! to our days; the party opposed to us—of whose principles he was the great exponent, if not the nder—whilo it has changed its name, has preserved sentially its identity of character; and the doubt he entertained and taught of the capacity of man for ‘self-government has exerted a marked influ- ence upon its action and opinions. Here is the very starting-point of the difference between the two great parties whieh divide our country, All other differences are but subordinate and auxiliasy to this, and may, in fact, be resolved into it, ing with doubt upon the issue of self-government mv party is prone to think the public authority should be strengthened, and to fear any change, lest that change might weaken the necessary force of the gov- ernment; while the other, strong in its convictions of the intelligence and virtue of the people, believes that original power is safer than delegated, and that the solution of the grent problem of good government con- sists in governing with the least force, and leaving in- i n as freo from restraint as is compatible with reservation of the social system. thereby se- curing to each all the freedom which is not essential to he well-being of the whole. As a party, we ought not to mistake the signs of the times; but should bear in mind that this is an age of progress—of advancement in all the elements of intel- lectual power, and in the opinions of the world.— The general government should assume no powers,— It should exercise none which have not been clearly granted by the parties to the federal com- pact, We ought to construe the constitution strictly, according to tho received and sound prin- ciples of the Jefferson school, But while rash expe- riments should be deprecated, if the government is stationary in its principles” of action. and re- fuses to accommodate its measures, within its consti- tutional sphere—eautiously indeed, but wisely and cheerfully—to the advancing sentiments and necessi- ties of the age. it will find its moral force impaired, and the publie will determined to do what the public au- thority itself should readily do, when the indications popular sentiment are clear and clearly ¢x- ntlemen, | have the honor to LEWIS CASS.

Cass is itself quite accepta- bie tothe democrats generally; and from the expres- sions I have heard freely made, it seems to be doubly satisfactory to have the name of Gen. Butler connected with it. Chapman, of the State Sentinel,—he of “ cock-crow- ing * memory of 1844—is in attendance at Baltimore, as a delegate, and, as the nominations are to his spe- cial liking, I presume when he returns he will “ crow some, ‘As what I am about to say will appear in the Herald in time to be by the delegates to the Philadel Convention, to take it into consideration, and weigh it well before they leap into the canvass, | feel like pre- facing it wit me emphatic pledge as to the truth of the statement; aud, accordingly, say, as 1 would say at the bar of any tribunal, were my reputation here and my hopes of a happy future at stake, that, among the many whig law, ers, judges, doctors, und other classes, now here in attendance at the United States Court, the Supreme Court of the State, an education conven- tion, and the grand Masonic body, the admission is freely nade that no man except Gen. Taylor can pre- vent Gen. Cass carrying Indiana. I have heard eight or ten prominent whigs make the assertion, and not one to gainsay it ! Just at this moment a farmer stepped up to the portico of the hotel, and effered his outs for sale to the land- lord. J. G. Marshall, Esq., late whig candidate for go- vernor, being present, and recognising in the farmer an old whig acquaintance, in a familiar way addressed him, thus: * Well, Jerry, what do you think of the democratic nomination?’ To which the farmer re- plied with great promptness and evident sincerity : * Why sir, unless the whigs give me a chance to vote for Old Zack. { will certainly vote for General Cass.” ‘The old farmer was then interrogated as to each of the prominent whig candidates—Clay, McLean, Corwin, and Scott—whether he would not vote for cither of them, if nominated, in preference to Gen. Cass. His reply was, “I'll vote for General Taylor, if { have a chance, if not, I will voto for Gen. Cass... To which another whig present, late an officer in the volunteer regiments, in Mexico, responded—“ Yes, there aro thousands of others in this State that will do the same.”? Such, then, is the first impression of the news as re- ceived. It was telegraphed to this place, this morning, at 10 o'clock, from Cincinnati via Dayton, by Mr. De- frees, editor of the State Journal, who is on his way to the whig convention, as a delegate, in favor, it is said, of Judge McLean. if he desires the supremacy of the whig party in Indiana, he will act most wise by drop- ping ‘Bie judge and take the hero. And as he will have the choice of two heroes, he should look well that he assists in taking the right on John Brough, of the Cincinnati Enquirer, ar- rived here yesterday in the Madison cars, and return- ed this morning. Rumor has it that his visit is con- nected with some bold political movement, based upon an apprehended split in the democratic party. Twice yesterday, and once to-day, some fiend in hu- man shape attempted to set on fire Browning's hotel. ‘The two first attempts were discovered in time to ar- rest the flames, with the loss of the bed and furniture of the separate roomsin which it occurred. But to- day, the fatal match was placed in a room in the attic, in which were stored a number of out-of-use bed- steads and feather mattresses, and before the hose could be brought to play upon the fire, the flam: id spread into the adjoining rooms and to the roof, and, consequently required a deluge of water to subdue the fire. Tho threatening aspect of the fire also induced the citizens to remove the furniture from the house in the usual haste and most systematic carelessness, as if a broken mirror in the street was of more value than if left to burn to cinders, ‘(he consequence will be a suspension of business for some days. I was enc of some seventy or eighty sqjourners, who had to seek other quarters. It was a sight, I can assure my rea- der, and a clear demonstration of the ruling principle in man—self-protection of person and property—to see our mess rush through the house, and again emerge from it in all directions: one with a huge trunk, ano- ther with a carpet bag. valise, hat box, books, papers, cloak, coats, boots, and other articles too numerous, if not tedious, to mention.

Tuomas Conwix—Tur Paesipnxcy.—A letter from Mr. Corwin, under date the 25th May, written at Hamilton, expresses his personal wishes respecting the nomination for the Presidency. Believing that his nomination can be productive of no beneficial results, he earnestly begs his friends to prevent such a move- ment, should it be suggested, and concentrate the entire vote of Ohio at once upon another man.—Cin- cinnati Gazette.

Jacob Collamer declines re- election to Congress from the Second District of Ver- mont, Iowa.—Daniel F. Miller is the whig candidate for Congress from the Ist district of lows. Whrxts witnin Wuress.—Some of the delegates to the Baltimore Convention complained of the vicinity of Washington, and proposed that the next Conven- tion should assemble in Pittsburg. ‘There is but little doubt that some of the members had their views of men and things modified in their transit through Wash- ington. Wants 4 ne-ELxcTION.—Mr. Sevier, special commis- sioner to Mexico, has written a letter home, in which he states that he accepted the commission with reluc- tance, and adds:—“I expect to get home before the summer is over, and at all events before the meeting of the Legislature. I want a re-election to the Senate, and shall rely upon my friends throughout the State to act for me.” Cass’ Canixet.—The Rochester Advertiser says that “ In case Mr. Cass should be elected, there are rensons for believing that the following persons will be among those whose claims will be regarded with peculiar favor: Secretary of State—Louis Philippe; Seeretary of the ‘Treasury—Edwin Croswell; Secretary of the Navy—J. F. Cooper; Secretary of War—Gideon J. Pillow; Post- master General—General Commander, of South Care- lina; Attorney General—Caleb Cushing. And should ch an office as Public Executioner be created. we suggest the name of Senator Foote, of Missiasppi, as the proper person to fill it.”” ‘Crops. The cropsin Louisiana continue to present a most eneovraging appearance. The Shreveport Journal of the 15th ult., says: “ Having inquired of persons from all sections of the surrounding country, we have had the most flattering accounts of the growing crops. The stand of ton is elegant, and in fine growing condi- tion. The corn crops have been represented to us as equally flourishing.” The Concordia Intelligencer of the 2uth says he influence of the rains of this week. on the cornfields, has been remarkable. Twenty- four hours had not elapsed after the rains of Tuesday evening, when they showed the new life which haa quickened the growth of the plant. Although this in- duenee isnot es quickly perceptible in the cotton plant, the benefit received by it is even greater. as at tho time of the relief the stands were about to suffer, As it in, few have been seriously injured.” SS MARITIME INTELLIGHENCK.
