THE GAPSDEN TREATY—IMPORTANT AMENDMENTS— FIVE MILLIONS FOR PRIVATE CLAIMANTS CUT OUT, AND COOKE’S WAGON ROUTE CUT OFF, ETC. Wasuinaron, April 12, 1854. ‘The Gadsden treaty was agoin under discussion to-day for several hours, and several important amendments were carried. The article providing for the payment of private claims has been stricken nd that portion retained abrogating the cloveuth article of the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. The article with regard to filibusters is stricken ont. “The boundary has been altered, It starts on the Rio Grande, at the same point as indicated in the Gadsden treaty, then runs due west, striking fifty miles south of J the Gila. The compensation to be given is reduced to | peven millions of dollars.”” : Mr. Bell’s amendment in favor of the Sloo grant is not yet decided. All the amendments have Leen made in committeo, of course, and therefore have to be voted on again when the | treaty is reported to the Senate. Should the amendment with regard to the reduced compensation remain, itis not believed Santa Anna will agree to thetreaty in such a shape. His Minister here | has declared this explicitly. But the friends of the treaty have abandoned all hope of having it ratified un- Jess completely emasculated. It will, however, form the basis of a new treaty, and this is what the Senate desire. THE NEW MARITIME TREATY WITH ENGLAND. The Union did not contain the article which was pre- pared avowing the negotiations between Messrs. | Buchanan and Mason and ihe English and the French governments; butan article of a similar character ap- peared in the Star, which was probably substituted in view of the fact that the documents will soon be “transmitted to Congress. The President has determined not to havea treaty on the subject, but to insist upon having the matter ad- _justed by proclamation. Mr. Buchanan, however, in his -despatch by the Europa, said he could make a treaty on the subjects; and the administration fear he has got the start of them, and will send the treaty here by the next | steamer. The administration imagine that if the mat- | ter is arranged by proclamation they will get the credit of it, Whilst a treaty would redound wholly to the credit of Mr. Buchanan.

Mr. Frank Ward was in California, it is true, holding an office under Mr. Corwin, then Secretary of the Treasury; he was removed by this administration, and did not go to Mexico, and never was connected with the Garay claim, as has been charged by the Zribune.

Affairs In Albany. THE NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC STATE COMMITTER— CALL FOR A STATE CONV NTION—STRONG RESO- LUTIONS, ETC. . Aumany, April 12, 1864, A full delegation of the hard democratic State Commit- tee were in attendance at Congress Hall this morning, Augustus Schell, Fsq., in the chair, From the deter- mined tone of the members, as well as that contained in the resolutions. which they adopted, evidence is given that there is not the least desire to fraternize with the softs. Their language is bold and fearless in denuncia- tion of the national administration, which they labored night and day to place in power, The proccedings of d_to the appropriate | the committee were perfectly harmonious, and the reso- lutions adopted with unanimity. It was agreed that a call for a State convention should be made for the twelfth day of July, (Wednesday,) and thatit be signed by all the members of the committee. Why the anniver- sary day of the death of Alexander Hamilton should hayo been chosen is a matter which is inquired about. It is an earlier day than ever has been selected to hold a State convention for the nomination of candidates. A copy of the resolutions are here inserted. They are as hard as diamonds, and were reported by Judge Tremain, chair- man of the committee on that subject:— Resolved, That ona deliberate review of the past, the committcefully approve of the action taken at the’ late election by the nattonal democracy of this State, and that, with a full reliance on the justice of our caugo, and the in? telligence of the people, wo shalf continue to maintain and vindicate our organization wkd Political principles, -in spite of the proscription wehave received from the administra tion we aided in placing in power, and in the full belief that > complete success will ultimately reward our Iabo: Resolved, That the roault of tite recent elections in New Hampshire, Rhode Teland and Connectiont, is to be attribu ted to the desertion the Provident of those great. prin- ciples which achieved his election, ax evinced in disearding the friends and rewarding the enemies of the compromiso measures ‘in the only way that carried conviction with it,” and in an attempt to control the domestio polities of sove- reign States, commencing with New York and extending to California; and that while we regret the infatuation that roduced these natural results, we must still view the sacri- ce with that stern conviction of justice which actuated the Ro tate ap- cis B. Cut- a nares, i ing the effort of the administration to force the traska bill to a vote without disoussion or amendment, and that we applaud the conduct of Mr. Cutting in promptly meeting the attempt of the administration to coerce memi- bers of Congress into compliance with executive will. Not having ourselves proved faithless to the compromise and tho Baltimore platform, we cannot sympathize with the Presi- cure free disenssion, and demanded hy a tree people. Resolved, Mut we congratulate the democracy of this State upon the passage by the Legislature, and the adop- tion by the triumphant vote of the pevplo; of the resolutions for the amendinent of the constitution providing for the en- largoment of the Erie Canal and the completion of our other public works; that the success of this great measure is a complete and proud vindication of the principles and po- Iiey of the national democracy of this State, and a most just and proper rebuke to the presemt national administrat! for its officions interference, by ite efforts at the last Stat election to give success and ascendency to a faction in this State, characterized by nothing so much as its bittgr hosti- lity te our canals. evolved, That a Stato Convention of the national demo- cracy, be held nt the city of Syracuse, on the 12th day of July next, at 12 0’clock, M., to nominate State officers for the ensuing election. LEGISLATIVE BUSINESS—REPEAL OF THE JONES’ WOOD PARK BILL—PROPOSED CURTAILMENT OF THE CENTRAL PARK—HARBOR ENCROACHMENTS— HUDBON RIVER BRIDGE, ETC. The resolution adopted by the House yesterday, pre viding for an adjournment of the Legislature on Friday of this week, has not been adopted by the Senate. The conjecture that a separation will not take place until Tuesday is more likely to be realized tian that the ad- journment will sooner take place. The House to-day re- pealed the law waking Jones’ Wood a public park, and 80 that question is likely settled forever. An attempt is being made to curtail the seven hundred acre dimen- sions of the so-called Central Park, and it is now in the ls of A committee for consideration. It will be no matter of wonder if the law ereating this park be also repealed by the next re apr ‘There is a strong feeling for It now, and no doubt that many of the mem- ore scitte the most Legislature will come pledged upoa the question one way or the other, The Harbor. Encroachment ‘bill still, lingers in the House. Mr. Brooks thinks it is about as good as de- \capitated. If it shall fail this session it may forever fail, for it will prove that the influence brought to bear from Brooklyn overrides the influence of the self-consti- tuted organizatian known as the New York Chamber of Commerce. The interference of that body of men with almost every bill relating in any degree to the city of New York has been the means of mducing the members from the rural districts to receive their advice with the greatest caution. Tie Encroachment bill would have passed a month ago haa not too much officiousness of that character been constantly volunteered. The same may truly be said with any petition, remonstrance, or document got up by the present Common Council. There are several bills hanging by the gills, and among them the New York Police bill, the Brooklyn Consolida- tion bill, the Emigrant bill to oust Dr. Vache from the Marine Hospital, the Sacketts Harbor bill, town subscrip- tions to railroads, college appropriations, and so on. ‘The bill for allowing the People to ‘decide upon a prohibi- tary liquor law lies in the Senate, and will pro- bably remain there, as there if a certainty that the Go- vernor would not return it, signed or not, before the ad- journment. It is too late now to force it through. The only way left is to make the question an issue at the election for members of the next House. Nobody will be caught napping then. ‘The project for building a bridge across the Hudson river at Albany is about sbandoned for the session. The time is so short t its enemies could stave it off, if the strongest efforts were used to pass the bill. The pressure for a bridge will be renewed at the early part of the next session, and the accumulated strength will then enact a law, nolens volens, Troy to the contrary. notwithstanding.

The German and French Catholics say that the Judge favored the Jesuit party, and ap- pointed a majority of arbiters on that side. ‘The anti- bishop party of trustees refused to give up the church, and the Judge committed them to prison for contempt, when the members of the congregation and their frienda called a meeting, inviting American Catholics, and all opposed to the iron rule of the Jesuits and foreign priest- hood, to meet with them.

To the second sentiment, Mr. Biunt, District Attorney, responded. He gaid:— 4 Mr., President and Gentlemen of the Clay Festival As. | sociation—Most cheerfully do I respond to your toast. Here at least I feel myself to be at home—bere at least | by the examples of Mr. Clay. Alike honoring and honored | Fair Daughters of Columbia—The firmest and | an element of discord, and which has created dig- peated agg agp the land. rhere ane in i country but two elements that are dangerous to our constitution aud our republic, There is om the one side political abolitionism, and on the obher aire sle= very propagandism; and it was a part of te principles of Mr, Clay to the very last part of his poliél- calcareer, from the period when, in the councils of the: State of Kentucky, he advocated their gradual emamel- patian, and looked upon the constitution of tue couaury e great law, whatever may have been his private ings or wishes. He felt bound, honest man, tor carry out that constitution and to enf hose prinel~ ples to the very letter. While onthe one side he reeag: nized the true right of political parties to enforce the principles of the constitution, on the other be waa. equally frank in protesting against any intes \uccion ef the question into the councils of tho nation. It waa thia that led to the adoption of the Missouri compro nise. tt in this compromise which is now sought to be brokea by him who is termed the Little Giant of iiliauis, wud little, indeed, he must be, and small, indeed, if he supposes there is a genuine freeman living thatfor + one instant would permit that compromise to be tram- pled under foot.

Tsha!l concluus, therefore, the brief remarks that I have umde, by sixaply esking at your hands that, in the language of your toast, you will be’ faithful to the principles which Henry Clay inewleated. You will remember his deeds.

He had just arrived a¢ this hotel when the committes had waited upon and exiended to him an invitation to be present apom this ov asion, and he wa3 happy to see around him so many aseombled upon an occasion intended to honor the memory of & great and good man, when there waa no ex- pectation that the doings and sentiments that should be expressed should be taken to the political exchange. all’ the admirers of Henry Clay none oonld be found ‘warmer than himself, From the time that this great man entered upon his carcer in public life to the time his great spirit departed his history has been one of stiring-incident, and although he has been subjected, a8 most gyeat aman are, to severe criticism, still his greatness was felt by the mass of the people. He diedaa bad lived, where the great and useful portion of his had been spent, upou the theatre of ix fame and the politioal metropolis of his country. His deathbed was surrounded by those who loved him, and the last words that trembled upon his aged lips were breathed im prayers for his country und his country’s constitution. And now that he is gone al} parties concur and agree im doing honor to his memory. And when that great spirit became too mighty for earth and ascended to ita heaven, those who stood around his deatlrbed might, with pro- riety, have cried out in the language of the Prophet, for the chariots and horsemen of Israel. Mr. D. com: cluded by offering the following sentiment:— The American U no shrine at whivgh the dep Cisy so long woreadppod with more than Eastern devotion. remombrence of his patriotism anfmate thoes was urvived him Mir. Jamas: BRooxs respended to the seventh toast, and stated thet he was always the friend of Mr. Clay, and that he fellowed him to his grave with a broken heart. He adbered to the prineiples of Mr. Clay at the present time, and therefore he was opposed to the present move- | mont baving for its end chy upsetting of the compro- mires of 1820. He desived that the old Clay men should 1 vpon the platform where they stood in 1850. They id stand there, and the powers of earth and the tod. owers of hell could not overcome them. The fut fr.

For himself, he was grown too old to believe in men. He would as soom ? vote for bisfriend Dickinson for President, if their prin- » ciples should agree. Hoe adjured them, in conclusion, to stand upon the pri of Clay, now'and forever. Major SrnaGur, responded to the ninth toant. | Although not # politician ie had always revered the | great men of the country, and he had always endeavored to follow the Union party of the country, He loved Mr. | Clay as a friend, and revered his memory. He was glad that the memory of Mr. Clay was thus publicly honored. It would grow greater and brighter as time rolled on, and his fame would be as a pole star for the young men of" * the country. The stern school of adversity waa the fiery furnace from which our statesmen emanated, and Henry Clay was the foremost among them. (Great gp- , plause.) ’ calla Mr. Luxe read the following note FROM 6 » WINFIELD SCOTT. General Scott has had the honor to receive a card for the meeting of the ‘Clay Festival Association,”’ and if he could deyart from the self-imposed rule not to attend any public entertainment, so interesting an anniversary —which he places next to the 22d of February—would | be an exception. New York, Clay’s birthday, 1864. ie Dr. FRANCIS responded to the tenth toast. He pro- | nounced an eloquent eulogy of Clay, the Philander, the orator and the statesman. There was, he ani | class of the community which _ did not owe] soutething to Mr. Clay. Itis such men as Henry Clay tiat cousu~ htest pages of the hixtory of the Americam republic. That such men do not receive the highest rewards of the nation is because of the machinations of those wretches who are calied wire-pullers. Mt 7 could nothave been honored by the Presidency, but he might have honored it. (Applause) Ur. Francia thankéd God that he never had disfigured himself by ap- pearing at Tammany Hall. (Applause and hisses.) He was gladevery once in a while to see some of his friends Ipreathe freely and mean to speak freely. There have been some and there are now three days in the political | calendar specially deserving of commemoration in all | timeto come. They are, sir, the 22d of February, the | 4th of July, and the 12th of April—the first the | birthday wef the Father of his Country, the’ second, the birthday of our country itself, and the third which we this night commemorate, the birthday of the political saviour of his country. I am asked to | respond toa toast speaking of the political principles, | actions and maxims of him who has made this day memorable in history. Iam admonished also that at this hour of the evening, in jnstice to those who are to follow, Linost be comparatively brief, and brief T shall be. I’ shall allude, then, in reference to his political principles or those particular act ons of his life which have eet the stemp of his name and fame upon his coun- try’s annals, which are part and parcel of the records of his country’s glory. And here again tnere are three— that mystic nnmber—belonging also to the political his- tory cf him whose birthday we celebrate. it eventful period of our country’s history, when himself the speaker in our hall of Congress, presiding over that deliterative body, When from one end of the nation to the other the war of contest Was raised and then raging between con- | tending factions, he alone, self reliant and confident, | suceesded in quelling the angry tempest, and went forth | with the proud title of the Great Pacilicator. (Applause.) And the second, sir, when the eountry was again con- vulsed, in the years 1881 and 1 calmed the | tempest, and stood forth as the Great Pucificator of that day. Third, the last but not the least, was when, in 1850, the passions of the sections were again arrayed against each other, he laid down his life in defence of the constitution ‘of. our country; and in concert with the glorious spirits, some of whom yet survive | him, and one of whom is present here to grace ovr board, (tremendous applause) he stood forth then again—that “old man eloquent,””—in defence of the constitution, and to defend the Unién, against ite oppo- nents and factionists of every description. Sir, the he- roes, the statesmen and patriots, although not altogethor departed, are fast departing. The day of demagogues and of political hucksters is, appronching—nay,, air, is already at hand—and we are glad now to contrast the po- litical principles and actions of Henry Clay with thoso who at this day control, if they do not entirely wield, the destinies of our republic, I shall not make compari- sons betwegn him and those who at this day fill your halls of legislation at Congress, but I may at least commend to their consideration the reflections and max- ims which guided him through his political life. I may at least call attention to the glorious maxim on hia part, that he would rather be right than. be President, Rs rt might aleo appeal to them as patriots, and call their attention that sublime definition of trio! ism as poser at the time that John Tyler had displayed his treachery to the party that placed him in ower, What was that definition which our departed Ric nd then gave of the ge and of patriotism?

Jame N. RgyNorps was called out, and returned thanks for the honor. He had retired from the political world _ after the campaign ef 1844, but on his return to thie section of the country he was glad to-see such sympathy and spirit expressed by the “Old Guard,” for which there are many glorious battles in the future. It was hia opinion that the Clay party had duties to perform. ‘There are great questions before the people, and it be- comes tle duty of every patriot to stand by his principlew.
