MEXICO AND THH TEHUANTEPEC TRBaTY — THE RIVER AND HARBOR BILL IN A FIX—THE CHARGES AGAINST SECRETARY CORWIN—THE OFFICE OF POSTMASTER GENERAL, ETO. OPECIAL CORREAPONDENCE OF THE NEW YORE TERALD, Wasnincroy, August 26—10!; PM ‘The report, of which I made mention yesterday as about te emanate from the Committee on Foreign Relations 0 the Senate, upon the Tehuantepec matter, is to be mad+ in executive session, It will fully sustain Mr. Webster in the ground he has taken upon the Garay Grant, It is Yery probable the ultimatum will be given to the Mexican Minister here, and that Judge Conklin will not proceed to gl till a response is given to the communication thus made. ‘The Harbor and River bili is in au awkward fix. It lies on the Speaker’s table, and canmot be taken from thero except by a two thirda vote. As there are more than enough opponents of the bill to prevent this action, the chances are that it may goon till the next session In- dependently of this the Senate w ili adhere to theis amond- ments, ab4 thé Louse win jasiat upon striking them out. ‘The special committee to investigate the chargos against Mr. Corwin, is prepared to report that there is not suffi- cient time at this session to enter into the investigation. The rumors co industriously circulated with r:gard to Mr. Burrows, aro wholly deatitute of auy foundation. He bas not been offered the Post Office Department, and would not accept any office. The appointment qill not be offered to any one till Mr. Hull is confirmed, and then it is highly probable it will not be coxferred bigs ae phy Yorker.

THE CIVIL AND DIPLOMATIC APPROPRIATION BILL. wt Hunrer moved to take up the Civil and Diploma- ic bill. Mesrs. Wriurr and Maxtory urged tho necessity for dirposing of the Florida contested election case. Mr. Honter’s motion was agreed to. Mr. Buicnt moved an amendment that hereafter the Assistant Postmaster Generals eball be appointed by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, and the salary to be $3,000 each, The amendment to compensate the jpanish consul and | Spanieh subjcots at New Orleans and Key West, was agrood Other amendments were agreed to ‘The Committee reported the following amendment:— And be it further enacted, that when tho ministerial ofi- cere of the United States have, or shall incur extraordinary; expense in executing tho Jaws theroof, the payment of whic! is not spocitically provided for, the President of tho Unitod States is authorized to allow the payment thereof, under the epecial taxation of tho district {n which the said sorvices have teen or shall be rendered. to be paid from the appro- priation for defraying tho expenses of the judiciary. Mr. Summer moved to add “ provided, that no such lowance shall be made for the expenses, under the act of September, 1560, known as the Fugitive Slave act—which act is hereby repealed.’® ‘Mr. Susen said this question was no longer an ab- straction—it was brought here in a practical manuer by one of the committees of the Senate. Beneath those words “ extraordinary expenses”? lurked the question on which, by solemn vote, the Senate refused to bear him He now would speak on it, not as a courtesy, but as a matter of right. The graceful useges of the Senate may fora time be abandoned, but the privileges of debate— the parliamentary law—could not now be abridged. Tho whole subject was now open for discussion, and with the bleesing of God, it would now be discussed. Que of the ancient lawgivers of Greece provided, that any individu! proposing to repeal any existing law. should do so in the public assembly, with a halter round his neck. With somewhat similar tyranny was thrown the same proteo- tion around this obnoxious institution. [He would speak with a full knowledge of his Leeman impressed for- cibly with a conviction of the wr and inhumanity of slavery, feeling and believing that it was local insticution and in no way national in , and one with which the national government had no connection. He could not allow this session to come to @ close without expcess- ing his condemnation of the cruelty, inhumanity, and unconstitutionality of the enactment, He knew that he was in asmall minority, and that slavery was as sensitive as it was powerful, but would speak freely and candidly. All he was or may be he freely offered to this cause. He pare to no party—the slave of Ls oa he ac- knowledged no master m either party His life had been early identified with the democratic idea—not the demo- cratic idea known under party organization, but that idea transfigured in the principles of the Declaration of Inde- pendence, and in the precepts of Christianity, He occu- pied a place in the Senate from no act or desire of his own—he never before held office~he was here by the free choice of his native Commonwealth, In answer to all inquiries on the subject, he said he did not desire the office, He would speak boldly, be- cause he spoke from conv ction—warmly, because he spoke frém his heart. He would not speak of slaye- holders. but he would assail the institntion pronounced by Jefferson to bean enormity. The couventions of both political parties had reoently declared that the question of slavery bad been finally settled; but this was not so. ‘That ew ng? was in all hi carts, in all minds, on all all meetings—it threw its shadow over these balls—it comes to Congress ition in its behalf, and, like the he horse it still crios “ Give. give.” No l-gislation could be final—no act or constitution could be final—nothing but The idea of that only illegal, freedom of apeech In vain could the dis- tiem of the Old World be demounced when its leading jure is borrowed and attempted to be enforced here. He ated against such a rule. He would not, cor not abandon his right. Slavery would be discuesed. It was not possible to imagine a creator error than that slavery is a national institution, It was an in- ‘titution which the fathers of the country refused to namo in the constitution, Both parties, in ——s slavery, national, and all who did not support { were sectional. He was not that slavery was not |, and only could exist, by s held by the Supreme Conrté of Missiseippt ond Kentueky in the constitution, Tt was not named ‘The word * slave’? does uot poltute NO power wae ta she consti. the power te create # vate to bunt a slave, Seat paver is only to be found in © preamble of the consti- speaks of freedom. He road the debates on the constitution by Mesers, Ellsworth, Gerry, and Madison, that all comsidered slavery sectional, and ‘Were 0) to making it national. He read various aul ities Om this point, He referred to the cir¢um- fay peg. be first inauguration of Washington, in New York, after describing it at length, sald that Moment the national e1 n0 where slave—then was slavery soctional |. The government thus formed was entislavery Washington was a slave holder, but it would be unjuet to his memory to say he was not an abolitionist. He had expressed himeelf in favor of somo by which slavory aight be abolished bylaw. Wash- nr and John Adams, Hamilton, Jona Jay and Joffer- gon, (the companions and friends of Washington,) wore all abolitionists, and he quoted at length from thoir and writings to that effect. The church at that also united in the caure of freedom and against , slavery. The Quakers, Methodists, Presbyterians and nalists, are united m the glorious cause of lom. The volleges of Harvard, Yale and Dartmouth, did the same. Franklin. Rush, Jofferson, and other writers of that day, all tcok the side of froedom. Patriots. scholars ‘and Christians, all engaged inthe work. such being the feeling of the time, when the constitution was adopted Be contended it was never thore understood that Con- ee had the power te make a slave, or to give any manu ‘e right of property in man, ‘Tho elaveholders of the resent day, numbering only 300,000, had succeeded in ctating the polley of the national government, aad have written slavery in its front, and now an arrogant and unrelenting ostracism is applied, not only to ull who express themselves against slavery, but to every man who {fs unwillie, to be the menial of slavery. Could Warhington, Jefferson avd Franklin, tho demigods o our history, opee again mingle in affairs of earth, no one of them conid receive a nomination from wither par ty. Outof theoonvictions of their hoarts, and the ut- terances of their lips against slavery, they would bo con demned. Le wfvrred to a case decided in England b7 Lord Mansfeli, in which a negro slave was declare i froe, and suid kelooked forward to the day whon Couri and Congress’ will proudly declare that nowhor: under the constitution can man hold property in man. He denied that the s eiNgate | in the constitution respect ing fugitives ftom labor was one of the compromises of the oonstitution upon which the Union was established, and read from the debutes in the convention which form- ed the constitution to show that this wes adopted with- out debate, andwithout opposition. It was not discussed in any State Convention, nor in tho Faleralist ‘The act of 1798 was pas#-d mainly with regard to the restoration of fugitives trom justice. In 1850, this act was passed. He was filled with painful fecliugs when he read the bill. ‘The masterly subtlety with which it was drawn might chal- lenge admiration, if exerted for a benevolent purpose, but in an age of sensibility and resinement, amachine of tor- ture, howevor skilful, cannot be ed without horror. In the name of the constitution, w it violates—of his country, which it dishonors—of hurmenity, which it de. grades—of Cbristianity. which it offend>—ho arraigned this enactment, and now held it up to thejudgmont of the country, There was no attribute of God Which does not unite against this act.

It com- mitted the most sacred rights to the unaided judg- ment of a petty mugistrate, whose feos was doubled provi ded he decided against freedom. No statute of limitations pgeipst freedom was qllowed hy jt. Lt was an usyypation Dy Congress not granted by the Constivution, and an In- fraction of rights secured to the States. It took a' trial by jury in a question of personal liberty and a suit at common law. The Congrees of 1793 also passod an act to charter the Bank of the United States, which was now coneldered by many as unconstitutional. If that Congress erred in passing that act, why could it not have erred in the rors act The precedent was ofno authority. Horead from the biography of Story to show that in the decision by the Supreme Court, in the caro of £rigg and Pennsylvania the right of a fugitive to trial’by jury was not touched, but was an open question, He read aiso from a veto Merage by General Jackson. that Congress and the President were not to be ruled by the opinions of judges of that court in their legislative functions. He examined the question of the power of Congress over this subject, and read again from the proceedings of the (onvention to show that the framers of the constitution intended to give Congress no such power, Had they so intended, they would have’ explicitly giron Congress power to-es- tablish a uniform rule for the surrender of fugitives from laber throughout the Union But no person in the Con- vention, not one of the reckless partizans of slavery, was to audacious as to make this proposition. Had it been made it would have been denied. ‘The manner in which the provision was adopted—the indifference with which its adoption was followed, showed that it was r as a souree of national power. It Was the peculiar duty-of the States to proteer the jiberty of their citizens, ‘This act denied to the States this right.of power. In thi fatal overthrow of State rights was a lesson which might return to plague the teacher, compelling the wational goverpment to stretch its Briarean arms into fhe fee, States for the sake of slavery. It was shown how it may stretch ti fame, glans arms into t ve States for of fresdom Te than taitaibealarecee aa eke Beg of: trial’by jury in alt cares involving the personal liberty or right of property. In either of these views, tho pu was entitled to a trisk hy jury. which this act de fo quoted largely frou avy English authorities on the subject. Te ran a pa- rallel between the circumstances attending the passage of the Stamp Act, in 1765. and the opposition to its enforce- mevt in the colonies. and the passage of this act, and thy hostility of the people to it. The stamp act was wel- cored in the colonies by the tories of that day, precisely ar this slave act has béen welcomed by large and imps- rious mojorities of this‘day. The judges of that day chargo grand juries to notice ali roristanee to it, and, like the marshals, custom house officers called in the soldicry to aid in its execution, That act was resisted the people im peaceful phalanx, and they triumphed, Earth, fire, and water, can be subdued, but truth could never be, In one year after, the Stamp Act waa re- pealed, It was consigned to the charnel house of history with the unclean things of the past. It now rots. Thither the Slave act is destined to follow. The Slave act was an infringement only of civil liberty—it touched not the person. As freedom is more than property—as mun is above the doliar he carns—as heaven is higher than the | carth—so are the rights assailed by an Amerioan Congress higher than those ouce assailed by the British Parlia- ment ; and in the same degree would history condemn. the Slave act more than the Stamp act. He enlarged upon the objection to the law. that it lacked that essen- tial support in the public conscience ot the States where it is to be enforced, which is the life of all law, and with- out which any law must become a dead lott And he held that this duty of consulting the feelings of the poo- ple was recognized by Washington, who, in writing, in 1796, to get a rlave of his urned, said he did not de- fireany measures to be resorted to which would resnit in 2 mob, or cause ur * in the minds of the peo- ple. That fugitive was never returned, but lved till within a few years past. It was to he regretted that Washington desired her capture. From this act of Washington—swayed by the policy of the world—he ap- eg to Washington wri'ing his will Lowever he may ave appeared before man, he appeared before his God ae the liberator of his slaves. This law, wherever it was at+ tempted to he enforced had produced popular disturb ances; and he referred to the several mobs and outrages following the enforcement of the law. Commercial inter- ests had twice prevented efforts in behal fof the abolition of slavery. [t delayed the suppression of the slave trade of the United States. It interfered now in behaif of this act. That interest lends its aid to the slave hunter, as to that which could not be touched without defilement. 8o,it would appear, that all who lent themselves to execute this act, the spirit of it entered their hearts, as the devil entered the swine. The hearts of the people were right on this subject. Poetry and jiterature came toad the cause of freedom. The feelings of woman were enlisted, and over 100,000 copies of * Uncle Tom’s Cabin’? had been sold al- ready. He cited this as the testimony of the people against the principle of that law. He cited the case of Vincent de Paul, who was a fugitive slave, The efforts of these slaves to escape to freedom showed they were possessed of high and noble aspira- tions, and often displayed a courage and endurance oi ial to that of remance, He considered the slave act as op- pored by divine law, and he would prefer to be the hum- blest restored fugitive than to aid voluntarily in its en- forcement. THe could not obey any Jaw whic! s con. science told him was unconstitutional, and opbosed by divine law, He was for the immediate repeal of the law. Mr, Cremene, (dem.) of Ala, said he would not reply to the speech which had been imposed on the Senate. ‘The ravings ofa maniac might sometimes be dangerous— the barkings of a pu; py never did any harm. Mr, Bavarr (wha) a N.C., said that the Senate of. the United States never before heard such an extraordi- nary speech as the one just delivered, Extraordinary in its matter, and extraot in the time and occasion cocupied for ita delivery, Senator, at this stage of the cession, when time was pressing, had consumed {1 hours and three quarters in an elaborate oration care- fully pre) committed to memory, and adorned with ancient learning and modern lore, interspersed with La- tin quotations.

A large number of the most extraordinary celebrities ef this, or any other city, had a reunion yesterday in one of the beautiful groves contiguous te Yonkers. Perhaps, im Point of eccentrivity, of every variety of hue, there never ‘was congregated before in that part of the country any assemblage which could at all bear comparison with this, It was «the pic-nie of the Pick Club, and New York, Brooklyn, Williamsburg, and the adjacent localities, ontiibuted their quota of intellectual and romantia ladies and gentlemen t6 add to the humor, and wit, sm@ enjoyment of the cecasion. The great notabilities—the figurantes in European and American history—the char” acters, who, perhaps, will form the Cinderellas, and Giamt- killers, and Aladdins of America’s nursery tales in after ages—all hailed from the Empire City. There met toget- er like a happy family—or at least were expected to meet —the Queen of Bavaria, whom the good fairy preserved from all the wiles and snares of the Jesuitical Prime Mim- ister, D’Abel, and brought to this country to exhibit wonderful slippers; the great discoverer and exhibitor ef woclly horses, Fejee mermaids, Joyce Heths, and singing angels, the Napoleon of showmen, Barnum; the Hom Horace Greeley, the white coated philoropher, who found out the universal panacea for the human race to com- tist in a compound of Fourieriem, abolitionikm, Maine- Hquor-law-ism, and religious avoidance of Windsor goap and Martin’s blacking; and, though last, not least, the Henorable and Reverend Mr. Pick himself, duly im- pressed with the importance of the occasion, his duties ag comptroller of the féte and dispenser of hospitalitics, and his trust.as custodian of Lola's prime canine favorite, the long-tongued Flora. We have not yet received ang report of the tun and frolic of the festivities, nor of the peeches and orations delivered on that occasion, nor do we yet know, inde, whether all of the before ‘mentioned personages were actially present; but we may ‘presume that all accepted the invitations sent them, and availed themeelves of the opportunity of participating in the most humorous and r/cherché pic-nic of the season, Im advance, therefore, of our regular despatches, we may announce that the Countess of Landsfeldt, amid the greatest enthusiasm, the cheers of the men, and the Waving of cambric by the Indies, presented to the re- doubtable Pick Ciub a splendidly filuminated banaer, wrought by the fingers of a coterie of the fair contribu- tors. accompanying the presentation with a most elo- quent, inspiring. and heart-stirring appeal to the prllantey andintrepidity of those whose greatest prite it shouli hereafter be to march under its silken folds. With sparkling eye and dilated form, the fair Countess recoumt- ed the history of her early efforts as @ poor and unknown danseuse—ber triumphs and her promotion into the councils of a great king—her subsequent persecutions, and her tinal expulsion from the kingdom of Bay where ¢| id reigned only through the love of her sub- | jects—and their sovereign. Shipping lightly over the in- tervening events, and not once making mention of the | spoony London guardsman—her liege lord and husband | —shedepicted, with eloquent tongue, the enthusiastia | Teception she had met with from the noble American eople in New York, Philadelphia, and Boston; and swore, “by the soul of her mother,” that she would ever pre- | serve the most grateful remembrance of all their kind- nesses to a poor, friendless artiste. Here ber emotions overpowered her. and she could only bow to the compa- ny, and telegraph to Mr. Pick to bring over her faithful poodle, on whom she immediately lavished those gentle caresses which no other object had evinced itself worthy of receiving, The Hon.
