‘ee ERES ESI ‘Wasurmerox, June 15, 1848. Arrival of Mayer Graham—The New Granada Treaty—New Apporntments. Major Graham, who arrived to-day, does not bring with him the ratified copy of the treaty. The instructions of the State Department were, that he should set out for Washington immediately upon | the ratification of the treaty by the Mexican Con- gress—and, in obedience to these orders, he hi brought official advices of that wished-for event. The treaty of commerce and navigation with New Granada, ratified lately by the Senate, does much credit to the tact and perseverance of Mr. | Bidlack. The two most important features in it | are, that it secures to the United States the right of | way across the isthmus of Panama—the only spot where a ship canal can be cut between the two oceans,—and the stipulation contained in the third article, by which vessels of both natiens are mutu- ally nationalized, or rather, in a manner, natural- ized, as regards the commerce of the two coun- | tries, except the coasting trade of each, The isthmus of Panama has long been regarded by the French engineers, and by others capable of judging, as the only practicable point where the two oceans may be united by a ship canal; but, from the fact that the climate is most pernicious to Euro- pean and North American constitutions, and that it would be necessary to bring artisans and laborers either from Europe or the United States, the work is justly regarded as one of great difficulty. The isth- mus of Tehuantepec affords no hope of cutting a ship-canal; but a railroad can nevertheless be con- structed across with great facility; and for many years this will probably be the point of transit for the commerce of the world, from the Atlantic to the Pacific. There is every reason to expect that Mexico will consent, for some commercial or pe- euniary consideration, to make the right of way free across the isthmus. In such an event, there is quite sufficient enterprise among our merchants and capitalists to embark in an enterprize which would give them the commercial mastery over the rest of the world. The cession of a right of way across the Isthmus of Panama has rendered less stringent the neces- sity for demanding from Mexico a similar privi- lege with regard to the Isthmus of Tehuantepec; but nevertheless, the negotiation for that privilege should by no means be abandoned. Mexico will be in a better position now to treat for it, without risking an imputation on her honor, than when our army was on her soil; and this country need not interfere at all with the charter granted to Leon Jose Garay, with the conditions of which, however, that gentlemen does not seem disposed to comply. Indeed, it is scarcely probable he has oy, intention of availing himself of the charter at all. We are to have a new Attorney General in place of Mr. Clifford, who will probably go as Minister to Mexico, Perhaps he will remain, as there is no necessity for his return. The name of Mr. Tou- cey, of Connecticut, has been sent in to the Se- nate, to fill the vacant place in the Cabinet. Mr. Bagby has also been nominated to Russia—a queer nomination, of which I shall have occasion to speak hereafter. Gatviensis. Wasuineton, June 15, 1848. Political Matters, Present and Prospective-Incidents of Men and Things—Senator Allen Speaking Down a Steamboat—Gen. Cass Always Ahead. Col. Benton has returned from New York, and Teports that the vote of New York will be given to Gen. Cass by a handsome majority next Novem- ber. Its the impression here that the barnburners will “come in” at the convention on the 22d, or “fizzle out” during the season. The democracy claim the election of Gen. Cass, by as large a ma- jority as Gen, Jackson’s in 1832. Such is the opinion of men whose knowledge of political mat- ters entitle them to much credit. It is believed that Gen. Taylor will, in his reply to the whig not minating committee, reiterate what he has belore declared, that he does not consider himself bound to carry out whig principles. Senator Crittenden, in his speech at the ratification meeting on Monday evening said, that Gen. T make no removals from office for @pinion’s sake; This was a wet blanket for the whig office seekers. One of the speakers at the ratification meeting said that the logofoco platform, in this canvass, is Cass, Canada, California and Yueatan, whereupon the vhole crowd, whigs, locofocos, b’koys and all, broke ont in tremendous applause! Fis est docert voste. The next day a democratic flag was raised with the inscription, “Cass, Canada, Cuba, Cali- formaand the Constitution!” This is the doctrine of the progressive democracy. A good story is told of Senator Allen, at Phila- delphia. When on board the boat, and about to leave the city, Gen. Cass, being fatigued, requested Senator Allen to return his acknowledgments to the crowd whieh had accompamed him to the whari. Mr. Allen ascended the deck and com- menced. “The captain of a steamboat, which had come in loaded with whig delegates, undertook to drown his voice by letting off the steam. Allen's voice raised and ‘so did the noise of the steam ipe, and thus they had it, whistle steam- oat, scream Allen ; but the Stentorian lungs of the latter prevailed, and far above the noise of the engine was heard the trumpet-toned voice of the tall Senator. The captain gave it up— swearing that it was the first time his boat was ever beat. Talk no more about the bull that was but- ted ofithe bridge by a locomotive, when a western democrat can talk down a steamboat ! The Taylor whigs brag high that they will carry the whole South, &c., but they have a hard horse to beat. General Cass has « great faculty of always coming out ahead us the following incident in his life. will | show. While canvassing in the State of Ohio, in 1844, the carriage containing General Cass was one dey se by a man, who, addressing the Genera), », You don’t remember me, Gene- ral 7” nn, ( replied that he did not. “Well, sir,” said he, ‘1 was the first man in your regi- ment to jump out of the boat on the Canadian shore inthe wag of 1812.” ‘No, you were not,” said General “Twas the first man, myself, on shore. first into the river to get ahead of you, but you held me back and got on shore ahead of me.” W AN-KA~TOW-A-KEE. Wasnixaton, June 15, 1848. Revival of the National Whig—General Taylor— New Democratic Press—The Binding of Public Documents. I be recollected that, within the last year, a daily paper was started in this city to advocate the nomination of General Taylor for the Presi- dency. The editor, W. G. Snethen, Esq., insisted that Old Zack was a whig, and would permit no denial of the fact. Instead of the friends of that gentleman in Congress coming to that'rescue of the press, it was suffered to dwindle down into a week- ly, and has been issued on the regular publication day, without abatement of its ability, fierceness, and firmness. The National Intelligencer, with its usual dignity, was silent about the claims of Ge- neral Taylor until after his nomination; and now, notwithstanding its former abhorrence of a mili- tary chieftain for the Presidency, it gives to him its support. But the Whig, which showed its face but once a week, is about to app to do battle now as it did 1n times past for the hero of Buena Vista. Five thousand dollars have been subscribed to aid the enterprise. The Whig will do the guerilla work, while the Intelligencer will attend to the artillery. We hear, too, that the establishment of a new democratic press, to advocate the election of Ge- neral Cass, is not abandoned; but it may result that the “ campaign ” paper of the Union proprie- tors will prevent the consummation of the design. The printers of Congress are not yet out of their troubles with regard to the binding of the docu- ments, Heretofore the printers have always at- tended to this business; but an effort, some weeks ago, Was inade to give it out by contract. We know that Mr. Wendall has entered into extensive arrangements to perform the work ; many of the sheets are folded, and workmen constantly em- ployed. He is threatened with a deprivation of this job, trifling asit is, because the government can save two or three thousand dollars by giving it out by contract! But, if this be done, he will, no doubi, lose that mach by the expenditure he has alrexdy made. When we consider that Congress have ordered thousands of documents, three or four cart loads, at least, for eyery member, to send home to their constituents, to be paid for out of ylor if elected, would } »” said the other; “I jumped out | constituents! this ¢ net : See are io it #8, in our humble opinion. Congress gets three times as much printing done now for the same amount of money they gave to Blair & Rives, Gales & Seaton, and Ritchie & Heiss. These gentlemen had the public binding. In con- sideration of the present cheapness of the printing, the small profits in binding should not, in Justice, be withdrawn from Wendall and Van Benthuysen. We have no further interest in the matter than to see the right prevail; nor do we know that the public printers will thank us for our unsolicited in- terference. Feuix. Wasuneton, June 16, 1848. The Presidency. On Tuesday last we had the pleasure of a dinner | with Mr. Bennett and lady, and le yewne editor, who has made the tour of Europe, speaks Freach, is learning to write editorials, and may yet be Presi- dent of the United States—if he looks well to him- self and to the politicians, and keeps to the wind- | ward of the vox populr. The dinner was at the St. Charles, the town residence of Mr. B. The win- dows were down, and while the passengers on Broadway appeared to be chilled with the cold as they hurried along, a cheerful anthracite fire made all warm and comfortable within. The outside temperature was that of a day late in October, when the summer winds have shifted round to the northwest, and the chilly air reminds us that old winter is not far behind. This was on Tuesday last. On Friday, seated in oursanctum, in Wash- ington, your correspondent finds himself reduced tothe Californian standard of a single garment, with the thermometer hard upon ninety degrees in the shade, end with a sunshine, which gives to Pennsylvania avenue the blinding glare of the sand plains of New Mexico. No other man than Prof. Espy would attempt the analysis of this sudden transition. Perhapsthe cold of New York on the 18th June, may have resulted from the frigid re- ception of the whig nominations made in la- datas, or from some other good and sufficient provocation, At all events, the change is remar- able, admitting the difference of latitude, and making every allowance for Professor Espy’s hail storms. irk 2 In another respect, the transition is equally dis- tinct. Onthe re-union aforesaid, the subjects dis- cussed, were— “ The castled crag of Drachenfels Above the wild and winding Rhino” —the Queen of the Adriatic, the Napoleon route of the Simplon, the vale of Vallombrosa, the Eternal City, Pio Nino, Herculaneum, and Pompeii, Ve- suvius und the bay, and the vineyards, and the dark-eyed daughters of Naples, the past and the present of the continent of Europe, and the pros- pects of the struggling nations in their noble up- risings against the ‘* obsolete ideas” of despotism by the grace of God. Such were the themes of our discourse, then—now we turn to the all impor- tant question of the Presidency, and to a word or two, en passant, upon the shaping of the contest. The old whigs—the legitimates—the respectable, legitimately descended Bourbons of the family—had the powerin their hands; but they were outgene- ralled by the bourgeoisie and the ouvriers, the new lights, the ‘‘ outsiders,” who dragooned the old sta- gers to the support of their man in the teeth of their most solemn and scornful determinations. The spasmodic effort on the same evening, in Indepen- dence square, at ratification, was, however, alto- gether delusive and fictitious; and the senti- ments of concurrence on that occasion, declar- ed by many Clay men, will be repudiated upon the " “sober second thought.” The enthusi- asm of coercion is not to be trusted, nor tolerated, nor endured, ‘The pride of the legitimates will re- volt at the dictation of the outsiders ; even their promises, extorted by constraint, are not to be re- lied upon ; and until the question of a proviso can- didate shall have been agreed upon or abandoned, General Taylor has not secured the suffrages of the North, though they may be within his reach. The attention of the wire-pullers here is now directed to the movements of John Van Buren and the barnburners—the New York Clay whigs— the Ohio proviso-Tom-Corwin-Anti-Mexican-war- whigs—the Massachusetts whigs, and all the Davy Wilmot whigs north of Mason and Dixon. | In conjunction with the barnburn- ers, itisin the power of these people to throw the election into the House, and the nomination of Mr. Wilmot, or of any other proviso leader, will be quite sufficient to accomplish the work. Will this be done? We. think it almost certain to be done ;_ and that if it be not done, there will be enough of the old Clay leaven north of Mason and Dixon to break up the charm of Gen. Taylor’s election by unanimous congent of the States. Already the democrats, giving up New York and trusting to chances for the Empire State, are or- ganizing for a formidable assault upon the always hard fought field of Ohio; but always whig here- tofore. A fraction of 30,000 whig abolitionists in Ohbio—tkey are all proviso men—but a fraction of 30,000 whig abolitionists in Ohio, divided be- tween Wilmot and Hale, or between Corwin and Hale, as the abolition and proviso candidates, will rule old Zack out of Ohio,for the Ghio locofocos will f° for Cass toa man. Without Ohio, there is not the slightest chance for the election of Gen, Cass. Hence the great field for the regular fight is to be Ohio, unless some compromise be had with John Van Buren in behalf of York State. k Meantime, there 18 a strong party of men in the Senate—and Mr. Dix, we believe, is among them— who are opposed to the adjburnment of Congress until the Oregon, and California, and New Mexico territorial bills shall be passed. The Oregon bill, especially, demands action at the present session; and the party defeating that bill now, will be held responsible in the west in November. The Wil- mot proviso is an appendage to that bill, and has to be disposed of in some way; aad we apprehend that there will be a strong bid made by the whigs in Congress in behalf of General Taylor in the Northern States. upon this very question, before | Congress shall finally close the present session. | Tue Docror. Wasuineton, June 16, 1848. Mr. Mitchel’s Case in Washington—Ireland. The conviction and sentence of Mr. Mitchel have been received here with a universal burst of indignation. It is impossible to describe the ex- citement of the Irish citizens, It 1s not to be doubted that thetr horror at this atrocious transac- tion will shape itself into some measure of libera- tion for the noble convict. A descent on Bermuda would be easy of accomplishment, and such is the feeling caused by this most audacious crime egainst human liberty, that no obstacle is likely to be thrown in the way of guch an enterprize. There is scarcely a man who does not execrate, in un- measured terms, the conduct of the government, and of its supple tools. It is a subject of very general astonishment that Mr. Mitchel was suffered to leave Dublin. No better opportunity will ever occur for coming into satisfactory collision with the government. They can perpetrate no more galling piece of tyranny; end Mr. Mitchel’s case is one upon which the people could be more easily rallied into desperate vengeance than any other. And here is one great fault of the leaders waiting until there be a com- | pact organization. This will never happen until the first blow shall be etruck. The independence of the island can never be achieved, except by a tumultuous rising of the people, and by flinging | masses of wild desperate men on the small de- | tached bodies of soldiery. There is too much quiet acquiescence in the old notion about disciplined troops, to meet disciplined troops. | The late revolutions in Europe have exploded this doctrine, if it had not been long ago exploded by the Ame- rican revolution. If the people had waited until their forces. were disciplined, they would still, in all probability, be in slavery. The blow should be struck by throwing the people into armed antago- nism tothe government, by making one deter- mined effort to crush the soldiery and disarm them; then if the contest be prolonged, the people will learn discipline in the school of necessity. Itis supposed by some, that the Sritish govern- ment have made a feint of sending Mr. Mitchel to Bermuda, in order to lessen the anxiety and indig- nation of the people concerning him. \ herever they send him, it will be an everlasting disgrace to Irishmen, all over the world, if he be permitted to remain six months in the hands of his persecutors, Perhaps a description of two of the prominent actors in this affair may not be uninteresting, Mr Holmes, the venerable counsel of Mr. Mitchel, has, for a number of years, been called the father of the Irish bar—an appellation to which he is enti- tled, as well by his advanced age, (being upwards of eighty, and his, being che oldest lawyer at the irish bar,) as by his vast legal knowledge, extra- ordinary acumen, and a rich and copious elo- quence which time has not been able to sub- ue. The enunciation of the bold principles he avowed in his speech, in defence of Mr. Mitchel, and which he afterwards flung in the face of the Attorney General, has the greater weight from the fact that Mr. | Boimes has been always extremely cautious in the principles He has remarkable power 1n cross-ex- amining a witness, He scarcely ever takes notes of the direct examination, and nobody who, for the first time, would see the old man in his seat in court, apparently mbar asleep during the examina~ tion of a witness, would suj that he was at all interested in the cuse ; yet when he rises to cross- examine,—(in the Irish courts the lawyer stands when examining and cross-examining a witness)-— it is evident that no point of the testimony, perti- nent to the issue, has escaped him. Such is Mr. Holmes. ‘ Mr. Monahan, the Attorney General, is about forty-seven or forty-eight years of age, and is one of the best lawyers ut the Irish bar, He hasno oratoreal powers, and is not even eloquent. He has a slight defect in his utterance, and before a jury 18 by no means impressive; but ina law are gument he has few superiors. In Mr. Mitchel’s case, therefore, he could not have erred from ig- noranee. Ta person, he is tall and not ill formed, though habit has given him a slight stoop of the shoulders. His face is caim, serious, and rather repnessesing. He has a queerly shaped head, and ie hair, which, seven or eight years ago, was black and bushy, forms an even ring round his forehead, which is low and broad, and from which the hair used to be carefully brushed up. To one looking down upon him in court, his head present- ed the appearance of a broad black mop. (Ganviensis. P. S—At a meeting of the Cabinet, held this morning, it was resolved to publish and circulate extensively the officin) letter of the commussion- ers announcing the ratification of the treaty by the Mexican government. It was accordingly pub- lished in an extra Union. The reason for this, is, that the bids for the loan are to be opened to- morrow, and it was deemed proper to lay before capitalists at the North official evidence of peace. Was TON, June 16, 1348, The Immense Labors of Congress. The waste of time in the House of Representa- tives, generally, but particularly the present session, in personal altercations and personal explanations, to the interruption and delay of public and private business, is an abuse of good order and public duty, that deserves the most marked reprobation. No matter however important the business waiting the action of the House; no matter however pressing the demands for despatch; no matter however fatal to the hopes of those who are petitioning Congress for their rights; hours and days are wasted in abu- sive personalities and personal explanations, which have no more to do with the legitimate business of the House than the quarrels at town meetings or ward elections. What right have a few captious disputants to ar- rest the business of Gongs 3 and tax the govern- ment with two or three thousand dollars a day, that they may figure in abuse, and retire from the arena with the self-satisfaction that they have played the demagogue? I would ask, from what sense of dut; to the public interest, and what justification for al- lowing the decencies and good order of the House to be srostly violated, can the members generally answer to their constituents for such delinquency? If there are some who forget the respect that 1s due to their places. and outrage the dignity of the na- tional hall of legislation, there are those who look upon all such scenes with loathing, and feel the hu- miliation, and by their example rebuke the trans- gressors. But they should remember that they are not exempt from censure, by permitung these out- rages when it is so easy to correct them. Itis a neglect of a marked duty, for which they are held responsible. : At this advanced stage of the session, and when the adjournment of Congress is ete with a mountain of unfinished business before them, and claiming the assiduous devotion of every moment of time, why should the House look complacently upon the waste of hours in hearing two members struggling in a mere personal controversy, to see who should be the most successful in throwing dirty water and maligning his antagonist? Shame, shame on all such degrading exhibitions, and on those who allow them! i Wasuineton, June 16, 1843. The Senate—The Russian Mission—Mr. Baghy— Alabama—A Nice Arrangement. There was a thin attendance in the Senate to- day. Mr. Benton, Mr. Webster, Mr. Dickinson, Mr. Dix, Mr Hale, Mr. Greene, late absentces, were all present. Gen. Houston, Mr. Allen, Mr. Bright, and Mr. Foote, of Gen. Cass’s northern escort, have not yet returned. They had better come back. Mr. Bagby sent in his resignation to-day. He goes to Russia. This will be a good thing tor Mr. Bagby, and a nice arrangement for Alibama. It will leave a place for Mr. King in the Senate: and with Mr. Bagby and Mr. King both provided for so nicely, the friends of both will unite heartily in the support of Gen. Cass, and thus perhaps save him the State of Alabama. The bids for the loan are to be opened to-mor- row. Itis expected to command at least three per cent. The Oregon bill comes up in the Senate on Mon- day next. So, then, look out for the baad Annapotts, June 16, 1848, Taylor and the Independents—Court of Appeals— Naval Board of Examiners—Duels and Dis- missals. General Taylor’s nomination has produced no sensation in this part of Maryland, for the reason that nothing else was anticipated. The old hero has warm friends here among both parties, and had the whigs been willing to unite in support of the independent Taylor ticket, it would have triumphed by an unprecedented majority. As itis, there is some doubt as to what the conflicting feel- ing between the independents and whigs may lead to, Should the independents adhere to their ticket, it may withdraw votes enough from the whig elec- tors, to give Maryland to Cass. It isa mistake to suppose the independent Taylor men are few in number. Their enthusiasm is somewhat dampen- ed just now by Judge Saunders’ statement, that Gen. Taylor had authorized his friends in the Philadelphia convention to withdraw his name from the canvass if not nominated. ‘They do not believe he gave this authority. It is inconsistent with all his previous declarations. _ The Court of Ap eals is now in session, and our city, in consequence, has attracted to it the legal talent of the State—R. Johnson, Senator; IEx- Attorney General Ne-son ; MeMahon Mayer, Xe. Next week the annual examination of the Mid- shipmen at the Naval School, commences. The Board of Examiners convene en the 20th inst., and will consist of Commodore Morgan, President; Captains McCauley, Dulany, Stringham, and Paul- ding, members. ‘The number of midshipmen in attendance on the school, and to be examined, is nearly one hundred. Three Midshipmen were dismissed a few days since for being concerned in a duel fought within the walls of the institution. Their names were Queen, Stevenson, and John- ston. The last named acted as second. Queen was severely wounded, Another duel has since been fought, between Midshipmen attached to the school; but they had sufficient respect to the civil authorities to go out of the State. The depaitment owes it to the moral sense of the community to stop this wicked folly, " he prospects of all growing crops were never better. oO. P. Q. Bartimorr, June 17, 1848. Hot Weather —~ Probable Union of the Whigs— Lawnch of a Bark for New York — The trish News—Theatricals, §¢. The thermometer at seven o’clock this morning opens the ball at §6 degrees, and the sun is shining with an intensity that bids fair for an advance of at least ten degrees more daring the day. The first agony of grief agong the Clay whigs has given way to a settled melancholy, and al- though some of them are disposed to join in the ratification meeting on Monday evening, they feel like the widow in weeds for her hiisbagd on re- ceiving an invitation to a ball. Their heart is good to go; but then, * what will the world say ?” However, Daniel Webster is to address the meet- ing, and if he, one of the unsuccessful candidates, can join in the festivity, why should they not do likewise? A new bark, to be called the “ Corning,” will be launched this afternoon from the, ship-yard of Messrs. J S. Brown & Co. She is of tons burthen, and has been built for Captain Asa Vov- ning, of New York. She is fitted for the accom- modation of passengers, and 1s destined for the South American trade, principally Rio Janeiro. She will be another of the beautiful specimens of Baltimore naval architecture, with which the ocean is covered, and have rendered our city fa- mous throughout the world, The news from Ireland, with regard to the trial and conviction of Mr. chel, has caused the most intense excitement among our Irish citi- a put tt Gla'c send overte Mis of hve benefit 4, . 6 for y a Fy By for debits i] and on Saturday night the Holliday street Theatre will doubtlees be crowded to overflow.

Sentence of Herbert— Attempted Swicide—Warm | Weather, §c. Judge Parsons this morning sentenced John D. Herbert, convicted at the present term of the crime of manslaughter, to two years imprisonment in the Eastern penitentiary—the lowest sentence aliowed by the law. Another case of violence occurred yesterday af- ternoon, in the county prison, William Ryninger, a prisoner, while laboring under mania'a potu, cut his throat with a piece of glass, aud would have bled to death, put that the alarm was given by a prisoner confined in the cell with him, by way of precaution. He obtained the glass by breaking a piece from the window. hh The thermometer stood at 100 in the shade this afternoon, and all the world are endeavoring to find a cooler spot somewhere or other. The con- quence is, that the omaibi, the steamboats, and railroad cars lying to the various places of recrea- tion, are crowded. House of Representatives. Wasninaton, Juno 16, 1848, FAMILY JARS—DEMOCRACY YS. ‘The House resolved itself into a Whole on the State of the Union, and took up the Dill making appropriations for fortification—Mr. Tall- madge in the chair. Mr. Stanton, of Tennessee, (a democrat.) referred to the remarks of Mr. Atkinson, (also a democrat.) de- livered on a former occasion, in which he accused him of advocating a federal doctrine, because he (Mr. Stan- ton) voted for an appropriation of money for taking metoorological and astronomical observations. (Mr. Atkinson had stated that Mr. Adams’ advocacy of “lighthouses in the sky,” was one of the causes of that gentleman's defeat, and that perhaps Mr. Stanton had adopted another federal principle, viz:—< that the arm of the representative should never ba palsied by the 11 of his constituents.”} Mr. Stanton remarked that Mr, Atkinson was from the great State of Virginia, which once had the proud honor of being the mother of statesmen, if she has not now. It was well known to the world, though perhaps not to the gentleman. that ‘Thomas Jefferson, in 1803, recommended the expedition of Lewis and Clarke. They were directed to make as- tronomical observations. fe would ask the gentleman to tell him the difference between a permanent obser- yatory in Washington, and migratory, perambulatory observations all over the country? Where is the dif- ference in principle? He would be obliged to the gen- tleman if, instead of calling him nicknames, and cast- ng slurs, (if he claims the title of a Virginia statesman for candor, intelligence and truth,) he would come for- ward and answer the argument. On the subject of meteorology, which the gentleman had alluded to as a federal doctrine, the futher of the Virginia democracy also instructed Lewis and Clarke in this particular. Mr. Stonton defended his speech against the veto by the President of the river and harbor bill, last session, and said that, after’ making that epeech, he was elected, by an increased majority, to the present Congress. Mr. Daniex stated, on the authority of Judge Bibb, that Mr. Jefferson regretted the order for that expedi- tion all the days of his life. Mr. Stanton replied that he did not pretond to know the private opinions of Mr. Jefferson, apart from what was expressed in his writings. He had heard that Mr. Jefferson was proud of the expedition. Mr. Arxinson inquired, whether, in that expedition, there was any additional expense incurred, and in- crease of patronage ? Mr. Staxton replied. there was, and he read froma book to show the number of men engaged. He said: if Lshould argue that, for the purpose of establishing uniform weights and measures, it wore necessary to make observations on the moon and stars, to ascertain the exact figure of the earth, etc.. an intelligent man would admit that I was right. but the honorable geu- tleman would dispute it. “These obrervations are new carried on by the Coast Survey Department. Mr. Arxinson rose to reply. He left his own seat and went over to the whig side of the hall. [A voice: We onght to keep this democratic fight on the other side ; this ia a mussel shell fight.”] Mr. Atkinson professed to be aman of peace. He never considered Mr. Stanton to bea rival. God forbid! The gentle- man said thas Virginia was once considered the mother statesmen, Perhaps. if the gentleman was born in thé Old Dominion. he might think that she was the mother of on® statesmen, at least. (Ha! ha!) At one period of his life he did live in Virginta, Tt m that when he em'grated from that State, ali the gr men died out, Virginia lost ono of her eltizens, but. the sun rove aud set. The great rep can party has always repudiated the erectiun of I houses in the sky;” and J charge that tho gentleman has voted for an observatory, which ix a federal mea- sure. The gentlemau’s progressive democracy is the consummation of federatisia J atm of that democracy which contends for a strict construction of the coust- tution, After making other remarks, in which a good word wa fad for Virginia, Vir. Atkinson took his seat. Mr. Stanton arose. The gentleman from Virginia has alluded to my birthplace. He is a little mistaken. (was born in the District of Columbia, and lived in Alexandria until I was seventeen years of age. | taught school in one portion of Virginia; but I found xo much degeneracy there that i went to another part of the Statz, I left the State at the age of nineteen, never to return to it. If i had gone into the gentle- man’s district. and been a candidate for Congress, aa the people elected him, I never would have stood any chance, Mr, Arxixson—Surely not. [Hn! ha!] Mr. Staxton—I can say one thing for my consti- tuency. The gentleman never represented such a one. (Ha! ha! ha!) it i axeure you, Mr. Arxrxsox—Noever ! Mr. Staxtox—The gentleman has not attempted to reply tomy argument. Ho has waived the question. If the attack was not designed to injure me, certainly it was made without any prpose whatever. ‘The gentleman vaid that he would only use mustard-sced shot against me. It was impossible to use shot smaller, as mustard- seod was small enough for him. Mr. Arxixson—I am very sorry that I can’t find shot small enough, because the genti-man has no ammu- nition at all in his binnderbuss; he ix without powdor or shot, and that is the reason why he can’t stand the fire. (Laughter.] He says that he went to a portion of my district when he was eighteen or nineteen years of age.

The Zacetecano of the 15th of May, asserts most po- sitively that Paredes has demanded a passport to leave the country; and further adds, that the nation will be benefitted by his absence. MISCELLANEOUS, The Monitor says :—* It is said that Congress will suspend its session on Saturday, and re-open them in Mexico in July. The diligence from Queretaro, which came in on Friday, was robbed near San Juan del Rio. It had four passengers. Tranquility was entircly re- stored in San Luis at the last dates.

Yesterday morning, at 4 o’clock. General Smith left for Vera Crus, asconpanied by Capt, Page, Lieut. Van Dorn, and Lieut. Gibbs. No man who ever was in the army of the United States has won so high a reputa- tion in so short time as General Persifer F. Swiith. General Taylor, however, seems to have known his worth when he called him from private life to the field, and it was a happy day for the army, when the foresight of “Old Rough and Ready” brought him out, The soldiers not only of his division, but of tho army at large, love him. and have unbounded confidence in his military skill and ability. The great captain of the age—the conqueror of Mexico—knew and appreciated his worth, and the high commendations he has passed upon his character and services, were as deserved as they were just and liberal, ‘The plan of attack made and carried ‘out by General Smith, at Valencia’s camp, stamped him & General of th: first water, and as long as memory lasts, he will be known and styled the Hero of Contre- ras, prouder title than which none will wear. ‘The sa- gacity and military tact displayed in the investment and carrying that camp, is without o parallel in the war, and its success with so small @ loss, won him the entire confidence of the army, and the approbation of our country. May health and happiness attend the General wherever he goes.—.2merican Star, May 25. AID TO YUCATAN. It was said that about 1000 troops were about to leave for Yucatan from the city of Mexico, on the 28th ult. ‘JH. Peoples has abandoned his California expedition, and instead will direct his steps to Yucatan, where the services of himself and followers are so much more needed. He has issued the following card in the .2me- riean Star: “Fox Yucatan.—A number of young mer, belonging to and accompanying the Awerican army in Mexico, have expressed a strong desire to go to the assistance of the whites in Yucatan. With me many have en- rolled their names, and a party of four or five hundred can easily be made up. Thove who wish to spend the summer in a delightful country, rather than return to their homes in the dull reason. can find no better place in which te doso than in Yucatan; whilst, at the same time*they can assist the whites against the merciless Indians, and benefit themselves immeasurably. ‘A letter from Mazatlan, on the Pacific, representing the coast there as unhealthy, and the uncertainty of vessels to California, has caused that expedition to be abandoned, and many who had enrolled themselves for that country have transferred their names to the Yuca- tan st, Information as to the full object of the expe- dition, the character of the country, ete., will be readi- ly imparted by the undersigned, at the Star office. Jxo. H. Prories.’”? FROM VERA CRUZ. Intelligence reached the city om Monday last, May 29th, that Captain Wheat, who had been ordered out in pursuit of some deserters from the garrison of Jala- pa, on arriving at Huatusco, was refused admittance into the town, where he had every renson to believe the deserters were concealed. He immediately sent an ex- ress to Col, Hughes, Governor of Jalapa, to inform is of this, and we understand that the latter left that place with all the available force he could gather, to go and demand these deserters, or take them by force. There was a rumor afloat last evening to the effect that Capt. Wheat, with about fourteen men, had been taken prisoners by about five hundred Mexicans—the Mexicans having played the game of strategy upon him. The story bears so little evidence of probability that we are inclined to discredit it altogether.—Free American May 3.
