EITELLIGENCE BY THE MAILS, ees ‘Wasuixeron, December 19, 1848. The Annexat on of Cuba. Among the matters before the Senate to-day, wae Mr. Miller’s resolution calling upon the Exe” cutive to know it any negotiations were pending with the Spanish government, with reference to the purchase of the island of Cuba. Mr. Bernen objected to the resolution in question, upon the ground that, im case negotiations were pending, secrecy was desirable, and any ex; lanation at the presenttime might defeat the measure. There- ‘upon Mr. Maller withdrew his resoluuon. Now, we cannot but think that the reasons urged by Mr. Berrien form the very strongest argument for its passege ; and Mr. Miller, in withdrawing it, per- mitted himself, with all due deference, to be com- pletely out-generalled. The object of the resolu- tion, We suppose, was to ficd out if negotiations were pending, and if 80, to put a stop to them—-to cut off in its incipient stage a measure which, if carried out, may leed to a dissolution of the Union. The North wil) not permit any extension of slave territory; and the opposition to it, if such a measure is pressed, will be the most formidable maiter which bos ever agitated the public mind of this eontederacy. There are already, Heaven knows, sufficient elements of discord ia our midst, without dragging in the subject of Cuban slavery and an- nexation. If negctiations are pending for the pur- chaee o1 Cuba, it is the duty of the representatives et the Noth, as well as the friends of peace throughout the country, to insist upon the matter being at once brought to light. Now, the affair ean be easily quashed ; but a short delay may in- extricably imvolve us in the difficulty. The settle- ment of the territorial question, as regards New Mexico and California, 1s a mere bagatelle com- red to what an entanglement with Cuba would - In the one case, the South 18 merely strug- gling for the acknowledgment of a proposition which in itself directly possesses no tangibility whatever; in the case of Cuba, however, 10 would be far different: the South would there fight upon tangible grounds to retain her “balance ot power;” ane she has lost her self-respect, and her high-toned sentiments have become mere gasco- nade, the difficulties which would spring up would imevitably lead to dismemberment.

Of raid land, might interfere with the secrecy 80 eerrary to the success of euch negotiations. He would prefer that the Executive department should be left Undieturbed in the initiatory steps of this measure, or that, if the resclution were deemed necessary for the information of the Senate, it should be offered in exe- eutive ression Mr. Miicen said that in offering bis resolation, he Bad po dispotiticn to ioterfere in any way whatever with the functions of the Executive departinent. But bis attention bad been oalled to the subject by what he bad seen in the public papers: aud his object was to be officially informed of the degree of credit to these reports There were many precedents for such reso- Jutions of enquiry—they had been f-+q 1ently subnit- ted pending the Oregon and the Texas questions. in open sersion. For the purpose of looking into the mat- ter, however. he would ack that the resolution hie over for the present. The resolution lies over.

His object poe it was not co odious a moropoly, for the treaty with New Granada secured to the citizens of tho United States the sare rights as were secured to the citizens of New Granada. Mr Foote had no idea of occupying the time of the Senate, but he felt bound to say that the Senator seem- €d to have forgotten that it was said in the bill that the Secretary cf the Navy was “directed to make the contract,” ‘Mr. Doverass remarked that he intended to move to strike ont the word “ directed Mr. Foote proceeded, to the effect that it wasall-im- rant to gttard against apy argument which might Peprejudicial to the interests of the United States. No Hinitations were to be imposed upon the company. ex- cept that no higher rates of toll were to be levied upon the citizens of the United States than were exacted from the citizens of New Granada. He had had some experience of auch companies, and he believed it was acknowledged that in all cases where corporations got such privileges without » tariff of rates being establixh- ed, the charge is made mormous as possible. Before the government should grant the means of construct- ing this railroad, it was absolutely necessary thata tariff of rates theuld be established.

And he decided that to be acted on, the rerolution would have agaia to be offered. The Srraxen—The chair found the resolution on the Clerk’s files, Mr Jonxs—It | am correct in my recollection of the decision of the chair, { hope it will be adhered to. Concer moved that the resolution be referred to the Committee on Printing. ‘The SreaxeR—The question is not properly before the Houre. The reeclution was improperly placed on the files of the House. THE TARIFF, The Houre rerolved itevlf into a Committee of the Whole on the State of the Union, (Mr. Thompson, of Indiana, in the chair) and reeumed the consideration of the resolution fer to the appropriate committees the several branch the Mresident’s annual Message. ‘The question was stated tobe oa the reference, to the Committee of Ways and Means, of so much of it as re- lates to the tariffs of 1846 and 1842 the revenue, the state of the treasury, the public debt, the sub-treasury, the general condition of the finances, the estimated receipts and expenditures for the next fiscal year, the v d@ elaime of the citizens of the United gainst Mexico, and the ertablishment of ad- ditional branch miots. Mr Rumsey bad moved to Teter to the Committeeon Manufactures aod Mr Cobb, of Georgia, had moved, to add the Committees on Agriculture and Commerce. Mr Fisner, of Onio, having possession of the floor, from yesterday, resumed his remarks He said that that part of the Message which refers tothe tariffs of 1842 and 1646. wae desizned as an electionerriog docu- ment, It really did not belong to a Presideat’s Message. It was made up before the election, and was designed to be publithed in the Union. for aught he knew, The Houre bad a right to disabuse the mindof the public with regard to the sentiments which it contains, The Tesrage is a medley of sophistry, contradiction and falrebood, from beginping to end. He was glad the President bad thrown eff the cloak with which he has covered bimeelf for so many years. The President now impugrs the motives of the republican party of 1812 and 1816. He had never done so before; it had never before been done by any of the old federal party. The party calling itse If democretic is not the republican arty of 1816. for it o poses protection and advocates fis trade. There 4 be another revulsionin busi- ness. unless the policy of this administration is changed, The protective policy is coeval with the existence of the government. Mr. Laum, of Ohio, said that he was aslittle acquaint- ed with the tariff subject as with any other political question, but there w M-evident traths plain to every capacity. The gentleman from New York (Mr. Greeley ) remarked. yesterday, that an indictment had gone forth from the President of the United St the Secretary of the Treatury, against thet party which succeeded in the late Presidential election, and murt be answered. That was the object; Mr. Labm knew it beforeit wasavowed He knew that gentiem-n on the other ride felt the force of the arguments in the Pres Mesrage and in the report of the Secretary ot the Ireacury. They demon whe! areeried when the repeal the tariff of 1842, viz beruined, The gentleman from (hio, (vir. Lowever, hed erdeavored to prove the position by Mr. Webster d others. that the repeal tariff would bring about a revulsion ia business, ruinthe country ; but sithovght it has not yet done to. be rays that the revulson and reia will come ina year, or in two years.

He would say to these gen- tlemen, if they want such @ committee, they shall have ft. Any report which they can make, will only prove the force of the reasoning and the correctness of the course of policy pursued with regard to tl t and important subjects, He had no which can be thrown abroad by such deri: that the country should see the arguments ior d againrt protection: but he submitted to the con- sideration cf the Hourewhether the whole object of the gentiemen on the other side had not been satisfied, and whether the gentleman from Ohio had not fur- ni-bed that whieh would be accomplished bya com- mities, His colleague had given an able reply to the President and the Secretary of the Treasury TI ch will go abroad an the production of # champion jon in the House, and asthe sentiment of to that subject.

Mr. Lebm had always been of opinion that the tariff of 1846 was infinitely superior to that of 1842 je believed tl the democrats dis- claimed being in favor of {reetrade.
