The result would be, that not a man of them would ever return to Congress again.

The greatest disgrace that can attach to any man in this Union, isthe disgrace of preaching dissolution. The people of this Union would just as soon think of ceding themselves back as eolonies et Great Britain, as they would think of splitting the Union into two military despotisms, Tuesday, in the Senate, was egy by Mr. Foote in a reply to the card of Judge M tama Meh dicating himself against certain charges of the Senator from Mississipp: to the eftect that the Judge had transcended the functions of his office, in ex- essing bis opinions tu the public, during the late residential campaign, on the Mexican war and the slavery question. Mr. Corwin made a general reply, in detence of the Judge. Mr. Foote insisted that nscharges had not been answered, and that the cenauct of the Judge was unbecoming a Judge and patriot during the existence of a toreiga war. And thus the matter was dropped. There was an Irishman, once upon @ time, at Donnybrook tair, who, dragging his coat on he ground through ‘the crowd, exclaimed, “Ten in the morning, und no fight yet; Wili any jintleman have the goodness to tread on my coattail.”. The whigs of the Senate appear to regard Mr. Foote in this light, and hence they are extremely cautious of treading on his coat tail; and hence, we athe pose, Mr. Corwin thought it most judicious only to muke a temperate and general reply to the chai ges egainst his inend, the Judge, as the most rominent policy with the warlike gentleman From Mississippi, who 18 really at heart one of the most pleasant men in the werld. This matter being disposed of, the Senate took up the bill; for reciprocity with Canada, in a ree, interchange between her and the United States of their mutual agricultural products. Mr. Dix occu- pied the residue of the session, in an able statisti- cal speech in support of the measure, which was listened to as it the Senate were instructed by his erateny exposition of the subject. 3 On Wednesday, Mr. Douglas called up the |Cali- fornia bill, and moved a substitute for his original project, which was rejected by the Judiciary Com- mittee. Various amendments were oflered; and the whole of them, with the substitute for the bill, were, after debate, referred to a select committee of seven, Mr. Dou, Heds chaisanaD, from whom we expect areport on Monday. Aue Seeniroriiia may be yet adopted by the Senate, this session, though we apprehend that nothing short ot the proviso will answer for the House ; aud the prospect still exists, that the slavery question will go over to Gen. Taylor, body and breeches. The Senate next took up the bill tor cheap post- ages, and for an amendment allowing newspapers to go free for 30 miles; Mr. Allen made, a power- ful speech in eupport of the motion, and in decided denunciation of the ocean steam mail system, as a sonnet, extravagant, stock-jobbing business of speculation ppon the treasury. Mr. Niles briefly replied, and thus ended the day. i ‘hureday and Frrday in the Senate were chiefly devoted to private bills. Adjourned over to Mon- oes ‘e come now to the House, On Monday, the House were chiefly employed upon the annual bill ot civil and diplomatic ap- propriations. On Tuesday, after a formai trial and virtual judgment ot Hon. Horace Greeley, in the book businese, and after the rejection of the mileage amendment, the civil and diplomatic bill was passed. Wednesduy was employed in mis- cellaneous affairs, and the army bill. Thursday was principally expended in the consideration of the army bill. In the debate, Mr. Thompson, of Indiana, made a strong, conciliatory, conservative speech on the slavery question, which afforded much pleasure to the conservatives of the South.— The army bill was passed. z Frnday was devoted by the House to private bille; and to-day (Saturday) they have been en- aged in the consideration of the bill tor the esta- Elzhment of a board for the adjudication of pri- vate claims against the government. From this hasty review, it will be seen that the two houses have been pretty sedvetr ooeiy plying the public business during the last week. The pri- vate and miscellaneous calendars constitute a heavy ‘tem. Private claims alone take up nearly one-third of the time of Congress ; and if a board would be established for the settlement of private claime, which could be kept ree trom the mon- sirous temptations to corruption which are some- times, we venture to say, potential in securing the pasrage of private claims, such a board would be a deeideratum that has long been demanded. The day is remarkably fine, and the fashions are all abroad on the sunny side of Pennsylvania avenue. The arrivals at Coleman’s and the other hotels, indicate an increased visitation of stran- gers to the city within the last few days. WwW. Wasurxaton, January 27, 1819. Stock Issued.

It was said whole families perished, and others. in disgust and anguish, dragged themselves in some thade, or under log: d died; and now the white man has the whole tohuntin. Diseases preyed on the vitals of the existence of the In- dian; for he did not know the remedies which he could have used to arrest its march on him, though however skilful he might have been in curing the in- firmities which were found with him. He knew no herbs whore properties could arrest its fearfal effects. Forinstance, bruiresand pulmonary complaints were revalent among their communiti mong themselves. Though they had pg themselves before the Europeans ir warfare against one another was not to destructi’ uch as fire-arms and th ‘They have destroyed ch other and themeelves when in their drunken re- yelries.

Also—Tho wars which have from time to time raged in this country among the European powers. The atd of the savage (!) has been invoked to show his fearless nature in the battlefield European powers, Intoxicated with fatr pro- mires, mingled with the rage, rushed into battle againrt the foe, hisown brethren and those of his neighbors. Fire-arms have done their execution. ‘I'he Spaniards of the South arrayed the Indiana ogainst t d against one another. andthe Indians been the sufferers. Though this remark may not be true as to the American, yet with the Bri- tish government, however ingenious some men may have been not to acknowledge this faet, 1 know it to be a true charge. My father, who was engaged in the battle of Lundy's Lane and other places, has recited tome the truthfulness of these charges. The Indians, at the end cf there wars, have been blamed, and oalled savages. It is not for me to say who was the real sa- vege—the one who knew better, or the ignorant of the @auses even ofthese wars: you can decide for yourselves. Chawplain, in the North, supplied the deficient tribes of {ndlane with munitions of war in the year of 1612; and soon they became allies to the French, and fough? their battle. Scch being a matter of history, [ men- tion no more. Third—Liquor has done the most to de- create ‘he Indian population. the effects of dis- of every kind in country since its bas depopulated more than one-half of the Indians. Peace and bappiness entwined around the fire-side of the Indian before; union, harmony, and ecmmon brotherhood cemented them to each ether No sooner was this introduced, than dissipation commeno- ed, and the ruinand downfall of a noble race has gone on Why they have not improved, and have not been civilized and cbristianized? The first is, their mind being in a state of perpetual agitation, it js impossible for it to be expected they should alread: Christian: a miles came here, t! ot improve. They look with distrust to every bo- dy that bas any thing to do with them. Tho fear of their removal they anticipate with dread, their lan m bought from them acre by acre, until n compel them Their inter- rtion of the whites on the ip of traders, rumsellers, id_scape-gallows, who neither regard wan nor the of God. These mon undo what little good the missionary has effected; and I never wonder myrelf, when I see that we are blessed with such men to represent the American people of this country, and they oan hardly believe that any thing gocd could come from the whites; and you may well know man is more prone to learn the vices of other nations than they are to learm their virtues. I have already mentioned the dissipating effects of liqucr, and when the Indians are continually intoxina- ted, what good canamy one do them; but were we to receive @ grant from the government, we might, with the laws of the United States enact | to prohibit its sale: but now we ha the trade of the Western count this is the case, we must continue to Destitution of schools. which could hi them long ago, had there been mo: course pursued for their improvement.

The Thieves’ Alliance have struck hands in good earnest. Since my lasty the Russians have not only appropriated more and more of the Turkish domain of freedom, and etamped out all the sparke of 1ts detested fires, but they have detailed greater forces to the borders of Germany, as well as the heart of the Ottoman Empire. And, as I predict. ed, itis now announced to astonished Europe, that a Russian fleet rides menacing in the Adriatic. It is thereby intended to penetrate all parts of the French Lake (Mediterranean), by means of the united naval forces of England and Russia, now heavily concentrated there, and so hold in check the elements ot popular supremacy in Italy, where they have, from emall begmnings, attained to al- most undisputed sway. It was in Italy that the revolutionary pest of 1848 first broke out, and under the auspices of Pius LX, spread acrogs the Alps into France and central Europe, where it assumed definite shape. The Pope himself thought he could fan and damp alter- nately the democratic spirit, and while he roused the people to ys improvement, make fast the foundations of his temporal throne. He has been driven to the corners of the earth, and stripped of all but his spiritual authority; tor Nahan gunpowder, like any other combination ot that sort, refused to stop half. blown up, and when it. exploded, was no respecter of persons. Destiny gave Pius 1X the wrong direc- tion in hie flight. Instead of going to Naples, he should have hurried to France. If he must fly— which wagfoolish, if not flagitious—he should have hastened to the country whence the Bourbons had been utterly expelled, instead of going to the coun- try which 1s now the only lingering repository of that preposterous house. In the elastic air of French liberty and true glory, the French would have learned tiom the peacefut and happy transitions of rulere, and the sovereign exercise of popular rights, lessons ot political wisdom. He would have been taught in time to embrace the line of conduct by which he could have conciliated and reconciled fora while, the patient and just demands of his people. Three mihons of subjects in the Papal States could not have had a more delighttul duty than that of obedience to a constitutional Prince, who wielded, also, the absolute spiritual power of God’s Vicegerent on earth—enough, surely, to fill the measure of temporal ambition. And although such a government as constitutional monarchy becomes of necessity impossible in a very short period, yet the present Pope might have transmit ted his new rights to a successor. Ia that transi- tion, the office would have lost its transmissible quality, because the moment you accord the people areclumaticn of their rights by charter, that mo- ment monarchy etarts down the inclined plane of republicanism, and, however slow at first, its pace is accelerated at every stage of the descent, till the people are reinstated in all of which they have been robbed by force or fraud, of their proper sovereignty. Sul, the personal high previous character of the Pope, and bis august services to freedom, could have saved his crown, and perhaps his successor’s, had he gone to France, and learned wiecom there. But he retrograded to the region, almost Boetian, of Naples, with its leaden councils and stultified king and people, who feel their way to asgassina- nation, and licenge in vices, through the dark. It 18 a region where beggary 18a popular condition, and the moral conforms to the persica destitution. The basest of baseness, and the vilest of villany, flourich over all kinds of merit, and hope is reduced to ashes and clotted with blood. In such a soil and such an atmosphere, his Holiness has inglo- riously planted his Pontifical standard ; and bor- rowing the hue of all surrounding*darkness, he boldly sine against light and know!edge, by refus- ing to receive the messengers of the people. This opensthe temple of Janus as wide as in the ensan- guined youth of Rome, when there were no churches dedicated to the living God, and when the offerings of an accursed worship were laid before that ferocious idol of Pagan supersti- ton. And through thet crimsen breach, either the Pope or the people must enter. The lat. ter have appealed to their sovereign; but now appeal, like the heroes of 1776, “to a can- did world.” The Pope migtt have saved his empire and his subjects, who are likewise his de- voted followers. He had an election of the most salutary kind, but he would not make it. And accordingly, the people, by self-preservation, are compelled to organize a provisional government, and to constitute & republic, depriving the Ponti! ef temporal power. In this impending strite, it is probab.y the intention of Russia and England, the jaithtul and new formed allies,to intervene. Against liberty, of course, it is their resolve to crusade, in order, by covering with ashes her consecrated fire, to prevent its spread into the bowels of their re- spective lands. Vain and idle labor! A thousand hands are feeding the precious flame in England, and it requires aateey oy assiduity; for the year 1848, and especially the dreaded and hated suc- cess of democracy in France, has made half our island already patriotic, and by spring the whole of it will be ready for spontaneous combustion if let lone Drea nonioh if suppressed. With England, monarchy falls throughout the world. Vive les Republ: ques. Another great and magnificent advance in tree- dom hasbeen made by Hungary, which the two conspirators against tne human race intend to surrcund with their hostilities, and if possible ex- tinguish. At the head of the movement, stands the hero Lows Kossuth, who has received the direct inspiration of republicanism from Almighty God, and like a true prophet, has communicated it to the nation ct samts aud martyrs whose ranks en- circle and whose hands uphold hich and his glorious mission. Louis Kossuth was framed, in the prodi- gahty of nature, for high and generous undertak- ings. He is a scholar, a writer, an orator, a states- man, a patriot, and a general, in the maturity of all his faculties. Unhke Charles Albert, his blood 1s not dashed by patrician taint; nor is his mind compelled by habite and passions, which ever be- tray the cause of the people. Unlike George Struve, he 1s cool, enlightened, and fixed in the deepest af- fections of his countrymen by services formerly rendered, but more by his recognized capacity to perform those prodigies of valor, and endure those sacrifices of ease, opinions and prejudices, which make up @ great character; and unlike Smith O’Bnen, his head takes the [command, instead of his heart. In short, a great crisis has brought forth a man greater than itself. That Kossuth will achieve the independence of Hungary, is not cer- tain; but that he will deserve it, 18 indisputable. His views are elevated to the level of the age in which he lives; and he has the wisdom to be a republican. By no other name could he hope to be succesetul; for the people, even of England, have learned that the men who do the fighung have a Tiphiener the fight is over, te do the youny likewise. ith definite and grand objects in view, and by vir- tue of true patnotism, the destinies of Hungary at this moment oer theirconsummation. Better auspices could not be chosen, nor a crisis in human efiairs, which promised them more sure deliver- ance. But there 1s terrible brute force and igno- tance upon the other side. The Ban of Croatia, a demi-savage, with his uncivilized Indians, and Windishgratz, the right arm of Austrian ferocity, the bembarder of Vienna, leading the patrician | youth und the stupid Selaves together, to extin« | gush the rising emancipation of the best portion ofthe empire! To increase the moral force ot the thock, also, the old King gives way to Joseph I, a young man of eighteen, and the eon of that Bava- nan Antoinette, the Arch Duohess Sophia. These hostile leaders are accoutered for the war with everything but money, and are juet now wranglin, for a military chest of 80,000,000 florins, whiel they will get by coercion at home, or from the united treasuries of the Thieves’ Alhance, which are at the shameful command of any association of robbers: eeking the ned aoa of human rights in Europe. Jadeed, England and Ruasia will not only secretly aid, but openly stand glowering their countenance upon the imperialexecutioners. The odds 18 fearful; but the first onset has not been Javorable to usurpation. The Hungarians are in heart, and they have fought and conquered con- siderable advantagee. They should have the pray- ers of all good men, and if need be, a special inter- cestion of Providence ; for if the hope of tree institations 18 now crushed on this fresh battle field, it may lie prostrate for a generation, and until the decomposition of English despotism, and the recomposition of this government, in a popu- lar American form. The robbing of Turkey by Russia and England, spoken of a my last, goes bravely on, and we shall tee the Rusetan marine creating iteelt docks, har- bore, and ship yards on the Adriatic and Mediter- ranean, by the advice, consent, and assistance of Englond, for the very short period of time which can, by possibility, now elapse before the British peeple have taken power into their own hands, from their faithless trustees, It cannot be conceeled that the house which John built, but which Jack inhabits, must instant- ly be set in order. Buckingham Pelace is all in commouons of anxiety, approaching distress; and correspending movements are to be seen in all its antenna, in St. Stephene, Downing street, and Printing Howete equare. Every thing about the government looks hke the preparations for a re- moval, or the repayations of a fire. Disorder, con- fusion, and embarragament, mark human faces as well as the face of things, in every direction. The royal family is incessantly on the wing. like parent birds when Pdony footsteps are heard near the nest. The Cabinet holds vigils, rather than coun- cils. The statesmen, trom great Peel and Stan- ley down to hate pews ham, and me D'Israeli, are organizipg and melting like ieolving views or ~ i the kal And the binations of a ‘ a se what « igure! The per etne ie the first aristocratic remove from the admits that the situation 1s serious, and says itis time that the problems afiectirg the laboring classes were ex- amined, and put upon some other footing than the ancient errors which have so long lost foundation in philosophy. The Chronicle, which is high tory since February, squeaks indicroamly at the danger to the time-honored institutions of England from the contagion of republicaniem, now go universally ventilating the atmosphere. The Times runshither and thither, as usual, and affects gravity and com- sure, at which no mortal man can restrain his laughter, when its agonies, of Ireland, France, America, Hungary, Germany and Italy, are all so legibly painted on its tace from day today. Oh! ed would it not give to be released from that stern obligation ot the diurnal press, to show itself to the world on the rising of every week day’s sun! It mnght, otherwise, have sone moments of breath, or, at all events, time enough to disguise decently, by discipline or affectation, the torture: of its soul. ‘ The other dailies and the weeklies are less disturbed; but all ot them begin to see that the State is in danger; and, like Demetrius, they are compelled by their interests to cry out in their diferent fashions. In fact, no man can truly deny that a great English crisis is approdching. Jack’s house, and that right quickly, must be set in oder, lest it be too late. Liberty is coming, at last, to everybody—even to Eoglish- men. But to them it does not come on the internal evidence of its value, nor because the Briueh people, in the mass, have been mentally perttirbed by general intelligence, study, and re- flection, Nor, in the present Gothic state of the Jaw and its actual administration, has it been pos- sible for any great master spirit, penetrated with the truth of self-government, to rise in his place and announce the fact to hia mutilated fellow-sub- jects. And tor the same reason, have been worse than unavailing the energy and disinterestedness of those vivid spirits in the vast centres of British trade, who, instead ot leading their humble friends to the glad hght of emancipation, have been, tor the attempt, thrust themselves into foreign exile. But liberty has been at last revealed to the inhabi- tants ot Great Britain, and even now the lustre 18 shining into the midnight, as the gem reveals its ay—because all around beams with light. From America, every succeeding day makes the clear intelligence of the superiority of treemen, under liberal institutions, more and more manifest. The meseage of the President gives the he to all the predictiors about internal as well as external dan- gers; not less than the pregnant lesson taught by the peaceful election of his successor. Who can resiet the conviction, even here, where the truth «bout America is systematically shut out, or kept away by dishonest exaggerations of lynch law and slavery, that a republic is the best, the wisest, the safest, the strongest form of government!—indeed, that all other forms whatever are silly, bad, feeble and corrupt?’ For what other government in the world is it, that the whole people are unanimous upox its wiedom, and go attached to its possession, that to protect it they would lay down their lives 7 Contrast such fidelity of the people with that of the selfich kingdoms of Europe betore the soiecous spectacle of the republic of France, Look at Rus- sta, with its stupid animal serfs and rabble; at Turkey, with her besotted population ; at Spain, degenerated and distracted; at Portugal, torpid and enslaved; at Prussia and Austria, convulsed m every part; at England, the most wretched people under the track of the sun, because the most intelligently despoiled by their few masters of everything precious among God’s accountable creatures. America, as vindicated by her ny prosperity, and more amazing growth in extent ani Tesources—America, as this moment presei.ted by the last message of the President to wondering eyes, 18 work iog immense resultsfin favor of repub- licanism in England. It is conceded that all other countries are distanced in the race of progress and emulation with the United States; and that it can be owing to nothing but democratic institutions tried on a magnificent scale, is now admitted to be proved. This instruction has gone home to the masses here, who have been heretofore told that emigration was the only cure for Bnitish suffering ; that the cause of universal distiess amcngst the producing clesses was excessive numbers; and that the remedy was expatriation. They are now being satis- fied that all this is very far untrue; and the conviction is coming that if England were a re- public, where merit was the only criterion of standing,as in America; if all Englishmen could be elected to office, as well as vote for each other, the revolution would at once be; in, and terminate 1n a total melioration of the condition of the people. This discovery prodigiously complicates the dis- order and confusion now reigning among the aristocrats and their dependants in the govern- ment. But if America is faving trouble, what shall be said of France, and the effulgence of her example? That 1s a teetimony which cannot be concealed, for its near bnghtneas dazzles even the closed eye iteelt; and its complete refutation of all British prophecy and prayers is indisputable. Universal suflrage, and what is more than that, universal eligibility to office, 1s the order of the day since glorious February, within twenty miles of the soil ot England, among a nation who have compelled the respect of all mankind by their prudent and Virtuous career as reformers. Such a triumphant result is a coup de grace to the thing called the British constitution, which e. in the clouds, and is always so interpreted as to disfranchise and extrude the talent, character, and claims generally of all men who attempt to rise from the masses. There 1s no denying the triumph of France. Full well itis knowa in England that there is no re- sisting the force of that incessant appeal to British mide and spirit which 18 made by the open exhi- Sirhan ite plain view, of such an example. The dread of France 18 increasing every hour; but it is changing its character. Formerly it was fear of her enormous physical power, which would have subordinated England years ago, had it not been for the channel; now it isa Sb 3 different, but infi- nitely more intense alarm. The Republic—the Republic— the Republic—is never out of the sleep- ing more then the waking thoughts of the oligarchy which mars the ey of these is'ands. What sums of money would not these land owning and power loving aristocrats contribute te bribe the social destruction ot the hated doctrine! What oceans of blood would they not see trecly shed to suffocate it now in its very cradle! What vows, and promises, and perjuries would they not record to procure the removal of all vestiges of man’s capaeity for self-government trom out of their of- tended sight ! But no;—sacrifices are m vain—so are bribes, and threats, and vows, and tears. The French, hike the American Republic, take unresisted the lead of their respective hemispheres; and the na- tions of the whole earth must speedily tollow in their train, England herself must immediately, either peaceably or forcibly, legally or violently, fall into the ranks. I presume Mr. Wilde will not long deny the con- stitotional right of the Nar to consent to a re- public; and if 80, Baren Lefroy, whose thick head could not conceive such a thing, would stand cor- rected for his heresy in the case of John Mitchel as the opinion ot the English Chief Justice would be followed im the Lords. And this 13 the course iL aperenend things will take. Tue Queen will abdicate, ond then the nobles will try to cheat the people by some trick of a constitation, into uphold- ing their dynastic rights. ‘‘ It is too late.” If such a peacetul reform be not proposed by the Queen, end adopted, then violence very shortly will commence, with the concurrence and as- sistance of France, between whose people and the British working classes there is sympathy encugh for the purpose. ‘The conflict of cours: will te bloody, but not doubtful. The people, in . just quarrel, will be armed, and must be trium- phant. . Cabmet changes are propoeed freely to heal the malady of the country. But they cannet reach the cisease, any more than cabinet measures could availon the West India question. In that case there was an overproduction of sugar, anda thou- sand Bentincks could not sustain the price; in this case, the people have caught sight ot ‘the wholesome viand of liberty, held to their vey mouths by theirnext-door neighbors ; and they will refuse to feed A a ministerial dishes, however batched up. Still, the accession of such a tory as Stanley 18 to be desired, as it would instantly pre- cipitate the revolutionary crisis, which Peel or Ruseell can only postpone, but not avert. For one, I would like to see the former sent for by the Queen. It would fire the train at once. As “On, Stanley! on!” were the memorable ‘last words of Marmion,” so they would be the congé of monarchy. On the eve of the morning, I send you some lines of appropriate music, should there be a violent transition to better things :-~ THE BRITISH WAR SONG. 1849, To battle !—to battle '|—to battle away !

Flour was steady. at previous rates, with moderate salesto the bom , including parcels of Oxwego common, this State, Western, and New Orleans. There was no change in Petersburg, Richmond, Georgetown, or Baltimore. Several small lots of wheat were dis- sed of on terms stated below. There was more do- ng in corn, and rales wore pretty freely made, includ- ing Southern, old and new white and yellow, at stesdy prices, Meal remained the same. There was nothing new in rye or oats. Provisic were steady. Sales of pork were made toa fair extent, at a slight imorove. ment in prices, Beofwasdull. ‘There was a good ja- quiry for lard. and sales were made at full prices, ‘There was no change iv groseries, Cotton sold to a fair extent, without change in quotations. Hivss.— The arrivals for the month are’ ut a fall average; the demand continues good, at fu!l prices, al- though many houses decline buying at prosent rates, believing that the late spirit is attributable to the ex- citement of the gold mania, and that the stock of leather to be received the present year from hides now out in the process of tanning, is unuenally largo, does not justify an advance in the price of hides, or even in the purchase of a lurge etock at lower rates. Holders, however, are looking to higher prices. and refuse to sell, except at rates atove the market. ‘The report of a cale of California hides in Boston, lately made, is not con- firmed.

By estimates made up by se- veral rsepectable houses in the trade, the stook now out a tanning, and to be returned to this city, is put at from 1,000,000 to 1,400 000 sides.
