The royal mail steamship America, Capt. Lang, from Liverpool on Saturday, the 13th inst., arrived here at 7 o'clock this morning, and sailed again at 8:15 for Boston, where she will be due at an early hour on Thursday evening. The report of the ship Bauldaur as to the steamship seen on the 2lst April, received by the Franklin, is repeated, but with this important addition :—“ The steamer was headed north, but altered her course to- wards the Baldaur, and immodiately disappeared. The Paldaur stecred to the spot, and saw large quantities of biscuits and boxes. When the steamer was first seen a ‘bark was alongside’ of her, but the latter steered away south ; and, as no one wax seen on board the steamer, it is surmired that the bark may have saved the pas fengers ”? ‘The Bank of nd on the 11th instant raised the rate of discount to 54 per cent, and on the same day the Bank of France reduced the rate to four per cent.

Full aecounts are now to band of the bombardment of Odessa. As surmised, the alfair was far from decisive, being mere destruction without result. The British ac- counts report the attacking force as the English steam. ers Samson, Terrible, Tiger, Retribution, Furiou ‘rench steamers Mogador, Vanbon, Pescartes, and Caton; also, detachments of English rocket boats. The mode of at- tack was—the steamers continued for twelve hours to eallround inacircle of balf a mile in diameter, 2,900 yards distant from the batteries, and each steamer deli- vered fire as it passed, the rocket boats continuing to throw twenty-four pound rockets to set the town and shipping on fire. The steamers also threw red-hot shot. The Russians fought with extreme bravery, replying to the fire of the ships. Towa:ds night, the battery bo- coming untenable, its fire became slower, though regu- lar; and at length, the shipping in the rear being on fire, it was silenced. During the action, red-hot shot from the stenmer Terrible blew up the Russian mega- zines on the Imperial Mele, and silenced a formidable battery. Thres Russian frigates in the harbor took fire and burned to the water’s cdze, also twelve smaller ships, and two ships of war building. The rockets also set the lower part of the city on fire, and it burned for two days. Three of the attacking’ steamers were disabled, and the Vauban was set on fire, but it was extinguished. The British estimate their loss at less than twenty killed and wounded. The Rus ivns estimate theirs at twenty killed and sixty wounded. The British Admiral, after the action, sent a circular to the fleet stating that he had inflicted retribution on the Russiane for firing on a flag of truce. The Russian accounts look as like the truth as the Britih. Ruesia says that on March 27th the British steamer Furious appreached Odessa. Two guns, without ball, were fired from the batteries, and the Furious or- dered not to approsch nearer. The steamer thereupon stopped, and sent a boat ashore with a fag of truce. The boat was respected, and allowed to land at the wharf, when it was sent back to the Furious with the information that the British Consul had left. The Furi. ous, however, again got up steam, and approached near- er,fag if to survey, on which the batteries fired seven shots, not on the boat with the flag of truce, but on the advancing frigate, which then left. On the 24 April, three of the allied steamers came to Odessa to demand an exploration. General Osten Sacken expressed in writing bis surprise that the allied Admirals should imagine that the Russian shots were fred at the flag of trace—expl.ined how affairs stood, and of course re- fused to deliver up the shipping in'tho harbor, as de manded by the Admirals, Accordingly the bombard- ment took plice, It wes reported that, for the prosent, the A Tals had abandoned the intention of attacking Seb astopol.

IMPORTANT FROM HONDURAS—THE SPECIAL MISSION GENERAL BARRUNDIA—OUK RELATIONS WITH or ENGLAND, Wasurrxctox, May 24, 1854. Gen. Barrundia, the special envoy from the republic | of Honduras to the United States, has arrived in this city, The announcement in the Heravp of the arrival of Gen. | Barrundia from Honduras in Mobile, on his way to Wash- ington, charged with a mission involving nothing less than the annexation of that republic to the United States, has created quite a stir here, notwithstanding the all-absorbing agitation and excitement on the Ne- braska question. It is said that the Ministers of France and England hurried breathlessly to the Department of § , to know if such was the fact. They both seem to think that the United States will do precisely what Eng- land and France would be sure to do under the same cir- cumstances, viz.: settle up all little affuira on this side of the Atlantic while Europe is occupied at home. What comfort these worthy envoys may have obtained from Mr. Marcy, does not appear. But if it Is ary consolation to them to know that Sr. Barrundia does not come charged with annexation, they may lay the unction to their souls. His mission is the simple one of opening | intimate treaty relations between Honduras and this | trade with the British North country; such as shall adequately express the excellent disposition which the people of that republic, the stronghold of liberal principles, have always entertained towards the United States and its institutions. That the relatious which are now opened may ripen inté a union, is not impossible; but it will only be when the people of both countries shall become convineed that it will tend to their mutual interests. When this period arrives, as free and sovereign States they are competent to decide wkat course of conduct they shall pursue, with- out in any way consulting the wishes or prejudices of alien and foreign powers. ‘The Clayton and Bulwer treaty binds both England and the United States from “acquiring dominion or exer- | | cising soverignty”’ in Central America—a provision un- constitutional and absurd; for the treaty-making power is not competent to impose such a restriction on the the country; but, neverthelsss, it is one to which the United States bas, in good faith, adhered, England, on the other bard, has not only continued to exercise a | quasi dominion over a large part of Contral America, but has asserted and established unqualified dominion over the important islands belonging to Hondurss, and com- msnding the gulf of the same name. I refer to the seizure of Ruatan and its dependencies, and their organi- zation as a colony of Great Britain, under the denomina tion of the “Bay Islands.”? Now, if England does not abandon these islands, and restore them to their rightful owner, the United States will be justified in any act of extension and annexation in thore countries which may be desived or sought hy the governments established there. And ultimately, I have no coubt the alternative will be presented to Great Britain, in terms equivalent to these-—‘Abandon your piratical seizures in Central America, and observe your stipulations with us, or we will at once comply with the wishes of the Central American States, and take them under our protection as integral parts of the United States.” If annexation goes on in that quarter, it will | be due to English aggression and bad faith, and the Bri- tish government Will have no one to blame for the result except herself. She is forcing Central America to take refuge in our arms. There are some items of political news from Ceatral America of considerable importance. The State of San Salvador, the people of which are essentially libe- ral, were last year betrayed into the reaction- ary policy of Guatemala by a treacherous executive. An election which has since been held has resulted in a | return to her old line of policy, and a restoration of cor- diality between her government and that of Honduras. ‘The frst result of this change will doubtless be the re- moval cf her present Minister in Washington, Dr. Don Felipe Molina. This will, no doubt, be acceptable to him, ashe is already charged with tho heavy responsi- bilities of Envoy and Plenipotentiary from the important States of Costa Rica and Guatemala, The war of Guatemala on Honduras does not prosper. An invasion was attempted by a refugee from Honduras | (a notorious man, now in Guatemalan service,) named Guardiola, on the 17th of April; but it proved a misera- Dle failure, and Guardiola came near being assassinated by his own followers. 28d of the same month. Various pronunciamentos which were to have taken place in certain parts of Honduras at the same time with the invasion, wore equally miser: able failures. The result has been to strengthen the | actual government, which confines itself entirely to the defensive, having long ago accepted, in good faith, the mediation of Nicaragua and San Salvador. THE FISHERY AND RECIPROCITY TREATY WITH THE BRITISH PROVINCES—POLICY OF THE GOVERNMENT ON THE SUBJECT—OPPOSITION OF THE SOUTH, ETC. We understand that the “projet” of treaty agreed upon by Mr. Marcy and Mr. Crampton, and sent to Eng- land some months since, embraces, not only a settie- ment of the Fishery question, but also reciprocal American Colonies to a limited extent, namely:—All the natural pro- ducts of each country, with the exception of coal, to- bacco and sugar. As regards coal, it is understood that article will be inserted. Lumber, brendstuffs, fish and cattle, are to be free of duty. The British government have acquiesced in the projet, provided the colonies af- fected agree to it also. Newfoundland, it is said, ob jects on the ground that all the advantages are on the side of Canada, while the Lower Provinces receive no equivalent for giving up the fisheries. It will be remembered that upon several occasions a bill for reciprocal trade, similar to the above provision of the projet of the treaty, failed to receive the assent of Congress, and, therefore, the idea now is to avoid going before the representatives of the people, and by a stretch of the executive power accomplish the measare. The last administration declined to encroach upon the legisla- ons of the government, and it was supposed Mr. Pieree would be equa outions of pursuing a policy which leoked likea centralization of power in the hands of the Executive. Southern Senators will probably rn the measure he exclusion of thei We woald not be i ent fi to 1 be stricken aTecting the n the N. ne govern and especially ~sugar and tobac 0. out, upon the ground that in a matt tariff to the full extent of bur trade w American colonies, the p ment should be c h lar branch of t nau THE ATTITUDE OF SPAIN—A SPECIAL COMMISSIONER TO PROCEED TO MADRID—THE NEPRASKA BILL IN THE SENATE, ETC. Although nothing definite has transpired as to the | despatches just received from Mr. Soulé confirm the statements that the Spanish government has declined to acquiesce in the peremptory demands made upon them, until at least they can hear from Cuba. Meantime, it has been proposed in the Cabinet, and Mr. Marcy has spoken of it to prominent gentlemen here, to send a special commissioner to Spain to assist Mr. Soule in bringing about an amicable settlement of the dificul ties if porsible. Mr. Dallas, of Pennsylvania, and Mr. Howell Cobb, of Georgia, are spoken of in this counection. It is supposed that the positions formerly held by these gentlemen, will add weight to their appointment—the one Vico President and the other Speaker ofthe House. At the same time it is designed to issue a proclamation against filibusters, especially directed at the filibuster movement now going on at New Orleans, The ratimale of these proceedings is that they will show the world that the United States did_not preeipi- tate matters, and that, if a war must result, Spain will it is known they | be clearly placed in the wrong. We, of course, cannot | say whether the Cabinet will ultimately decide npon this course, We merely chronicle the fact that such is their present intention.

THIRT ¥-THIRD CONGRESS, FIRST SESSION. Senate, Wasmincton, May 24, 1854. PETITION FOR SHIP CANAL AT NIAGARA—THE NEBRASKA BILL. Mr. Skwarp, (free soil) of N. Y., presented numerous memorials in favor of a ship canal at Niagara Falls. Also ten remonstrances against the Nebraska bill, {n° cluding one from 105 Methodist clergymen, and from 434 clergymen of Michigan. AFRICANIZATION OF CUBA. Mr. Brxsamiy, (whig) of La., presented resolutions of the Legisiature of Louisiana, on the subject of the Afri- canization of Cuba. Mr. Bexsaman said he agreed with every word in the resolutions. Though not desiring to discuss the subject while it was pending before the committee, he regretted | much that the Senator from Delaware had denied the | existence of facts going to show the Africanization of | Cuba was really the design of the Spanish authorities. When the sebject came before the Senate, he had no | doubt but he could clearly substantiate the fact that | such was really the intention of Spain. Mr. Geary, (ee) of Del, asked if the Senator was to be understood as saying he could exhibit facts showing a present design on the part of Spain to emancipate the slaves in Cuba. Mr. BexJamin said he did not suppose he would be able to make a mathematical demonstration of the fact, but he did expect to present facts sufficient to justify every | unprejudicad mind that such a scheme 1s now in pro- gress, and was to be carried into operation at the earliest possible time. Mr. CLayton said he did not think the Senator would | be able to substantiate any such thing. Every day’s in- telligence, and the more and more he considered it, made him believe more strongly that the Spanish go- vernment have no designs or desire to lose control over that island. But he did believe tht if Spain should find that it was to fall into the hands of any piratical expedition, sent from the United States or elaewhere, she would emaneipate the slaves: and she would be jus tified on the same grounds that the captain of a vessel would, in setting fire to his powder magazine to prevent his ship falling into the hands of a pirate. This Spain had declared long since, and on frequent occasions. If the Senator could only prove this design on the part of Spain, he will prove only what is conceded; but he (Clayton) utterly denied any faith in the impression that €pain, under any other circumstances, will do any- thing by which she will lose the island. Mr. Gwin, (dem.) of Cal., said he knew the fact that the Spanish authorities threatened, and were determined in the event of any revolt or insurrection by the people of Cuba, to emancipate and arm the whole slave popula- tion, for the extermination of the other race. Mr. Bexgamiy again repeated his surprise that the dis- tinguished and experienced Senator from should persist in his denial of the state of facts in Cuba, which had been declared to be correct by several Sena: tors, who epoke upon reliable information, All kuew the nature of the government in Cuba, and the heavy | and oppressive laws in force there. No man on tho | island can keep in his family a sharp-pointed knite. Alt | knew something of the strict espionage maintained by | the authorities over all persons residing there. ‘The de- | erces of the government emancipating the large number Delaware | | of slaves now there—of inviting and holding inducem | to African apprentices to be brought to the Island, &o., —whoever will look calmly at all these facte nd dispassionately weigh ihem with the weil | | character of the wnment of the island, will doubt but that the scheme is now rapidly progress- ing to maturity. ‘The effect of the late decree of regis- iration was a strong evidence of it. For years slaves have been transferrred from owner to owner by parol | rales. The recent decree declares and makes absolutely | free oll slaves when owners cannot produce a title to | them by some registered deed or purchase. ‘This act alone will set free nearly one-fourth of the slaveson the island. Another decree bas emancipated all those who have been found on the island, and nov contained in for- mer acts of registration. Thus elready have been eman- | cipated a large body of blacks, who, with arms in their | hands, will prove strong auxiliaries to the Spanish troops in keeping the population of the islani in subjection. | He thought that after the report of the committee the Senate could be satisfied that these resolutions set forth no idle speculation or imaginative idea. | Messrs. DouGras and Hunter begged that the diseus- | sion proceed no further, but that the resolutions te now | referred. Mr. CLaytoy said that when a Senator as distinguished as the one just sat down uttered statements with such | confideuce in the Senate, they would make great impros- | sions on thecountry, and he (Clayton, would not be dis- charging his duty if he a!lowed them to go out without anefort to arrest at once the alarming effect they would | naturally produce, He was not nor bad he ever been insensible to the oppressions and wrongs uncer which the people of Cuba had long continued. At the proper time and in the proper manner, he woul’ be as ready as any one to sympathize with and alleviate their condi- | tion. He again repeated, that he did not believe it po: sible for the Senator to substantiate the idea that the Spanish government now ad in contemplation any scheme ot Cae ar of the slaves of Cuba. Hecould not bring his tind to any such conclusion. It was the duty of those at the ¢ther end of the avenue to attend to this affair, and he did not doubt but they would do so. They who were presumed to know all the facts upon this subject, as far as they conld be known, would have a fearful respocsibility upon them if they allowed this opinion thus sent forth from the Senate by the Senators, to go forth to the country uncorrected. He did not know what was the opinion of the Secretary of State as to the existence of any design of emancipation in Cuba, but he would risk the decision of the issue between him and the Senator from Louisiana, on the opinion of the | Scoretary of State. He did not think that the Soo- | retary believed Spain bad any idea of Africaniaing Cuba. | However, to get all the State department knew on the subject, the Committee on Forcign Resolutions had sub | mitted the resolution adopted yesterday, calling for the | information. He did not understand, as the Senator | seemed to, that any great number of slaves have been | declared free under the recent decree of Cuban the au. thorities. Not over 5,000 had been made froe during | the Inst fourteen monthy—no such number as hundreds | of thousande, had been emancipated. He thought he had shown to atisfaction of the Sanate that to prevent the intros jen of Atricans into Cuba, it was only ne- | cessary to prevent our own people ' from engaging | in the business under onr own flag, in American vesecla, ‘The best to stop it was to take away from our own n the privileges under which | they do, and may carry on the trade. There it was that he ‘propesed to's’ and there it was that Congress | had fall Tr, ought to strike. The authorities of Cub only declared tree those Africans who had been | brought there in American veevels, notoriously slave | tracers, in violation of treaties. He ridiculed the idea of these barbarious Africans being converted into Spaatsh troops. He reyeated his Aenial of any belief of any in- tention by Spain to emancipate slaves, and said he weuld Willingiy submit ihe fact to Secretary Marey’s opinion. Mr. SRwARD, (free soil) of N. ¥.—When this subject was introduced to the by the Senator from Loy very general desire was it referred to the embarrassed by a ion previous to ite reference, though ven to the reference without pro- test would convey the idea that the Senate generally admitted the: for such an inquiry. But since tha’ ions of inquiry have been introduced upon the subject, and have led to more or less debate, and to-day the regolutions of the State @ beon presented to us. 1 certainl: agree with the Senator from Louisiana, (Mr. Benjamin, that the most appropriate time to discuss the matter will be when the committee shall have made a report. ‘The discussion of this subject by those who entertain apprehensions for the peace of the country, going out from this place without opposition except so fat as ft was made by the Senator From Delaware, is calculated to produce very serious effects. It produces alarm in mereantile circles, certainly premature and unnecessary new, even if it be not without sufficient cause. There is no necessity for Senators to give way to their imagina- tions until the grounds for their fears have been ex- hibited by the Committee on Foreign Relations on the Executive suthortty. For one, whenever a crisia in Cuba may come, I shall be prepared to meet it, but it is impossible for me to see that circumstances | alluded to by the Senator from Louisiana form any ground for apprehending that a crisis is at hand. I do not now look merely at the facts relied upon by the | Senator from Louisiana, but I look at the condition of Spain, at the condition pf the United States, and of Euro- pean nations, and I seo nothing to warrant any such apprehension. For ourselves, we have a claim unset- thea against Spain, and we are expecting the the government te that hima. “We a in arrival of an officer pre subject ‘and on all subjects’ w Spain, deriving a million of doliars income ba, desire to renounce it?

T'sco hyn rd to impair the copfidence of the committee and spread over them a dread of evils which may never come. I ho; then that this question may rest in tranquillity for the present. It strikes me that it is calculated to produce apprehensions in this country in relation to our claims on #pain, on Europe, and on the nations of the world, for we know, and the nations know, that this is regarded by some asthe favored time to strike at the interest of Spain in Cuba, and at the interests of Great Britain. If this question is one of the rising of the inhabitants of Cuba to assert their liberty, that is one thing; I shall de- sire to know of the Commit{+e on Foreign Relations, when they report on this subject, on what ground and to what extent they propose to intervene. If they propose to exert the influence of this country as it has heretefore been exerted in favor of efforts for constitutional free. dom, that will be one question; but if they purpose to control or supervise the local matters of Cuba, then, for one, Lam decidedly against any such intervention. I have no doubt that the general popular sentiment, and any action that may be adopted on this subject, will turn uyon the question whether what is proposed is a simple influence felt, and necessary, and justly excited in favor of freedom, or an attempted regulation and control of the good of Spain in Cuba, in its lawful exercise of a right to meliorate the condition of its people. ‘The resolutions were referred. ‘THE NEBRASKA BILL Was taken up, and read the second time. Mr. Doverss said the bill was the same as passed Senate, except that it contained that | ok aa which had been africken out on motion of Mr. Clayton. He hoped as the bill was understood, the Senate would now vote on it. Mr. Peace, (whig) of Md., moved to strike out the provision allowing foreigners who may have declared their intention to become citizens, to vote and hold offices in the Territories. He said the Se- ie had voted this amendment upon the Senate bi The reason of it was, to confine the right of suffrage to American citizens, native and natnralized. ‘The right of suffrage was one peculiarly belonging to tho character of the citizens and none other. It controlled the interest of the country, and it ought to be exercise! | by citizens only. He knew that practice, government in particular, had been irregular. In the case of the North- western Territory, citizenship was not required; but at that time there was no federal union, no constitution, no such thing as citizens of tne United States. There was then only citizens of respective States of the con- federation. It was right, therefore, for them to give the right of voting to residents. It was coupled, how- ever, with a condition of two years residence, and freo- | hold qualifications. The same privilege was extended to the Southwest Territory, anc afterwards to the Ter- ritory of Mississippi. In 1868, Congress conned the right of suffrage in the Mississippi Territory to citizens of the United States, who were property holders. The right of suffrage was confined to citizens in the Territories of Missouri, Arkapsas, Wisconsin, Iowa, Utah, and New | Mexico. A diferent course was adopted in Oregon, Washington, and Minnesota. In these three last cases, however, the subject seemed to have attracted no atten- tion, ana they ought not to be considered as precedents. By the terms of the bill, aliens may vote immediately upon coming into the Territory, while officers, &c. of the army and navy who may be there are not allowed to vote. Mr. Watker, (dem.) of Wis —The bill provides that persons in the army or navy, having residences elsewhere, shall not have the right to vote in the Territory fiora the fact of being stationed there. | Mr. PxaRcs said the bill repealed the Missouri restric- tion, and conferred upon the peovle of the Territory the | right to settle the question of slavery themselves,» Thi bill gives to aliens just arrived in the country the right | to vote on and determine the question which Congre: unable to settle, bi a last resort, turned open to t people of the Territories. He was unwilling to lot any | one but citizens of the United States have the right to vote on this or any other question. Mr. Propurap, (Gem.) of Pa., said this was the same bill as passed the Senate, with an important provision in it which the Senate had stricken out. It authorized un- naturalized foreigners to vote and hold offices. It was directly oppored to the practice of government. It xp- pealed in effect the naturalization laws, in existence since 1802, so far as Nebraska territory is concerned. Mr. Mason, (dem) of Va.—Not at ail. Mr. Bromixap said he found the bill properly de- nounced in the Union, for containing this amendment. This bill is in spirit a violation of the constitution of the United States, and of all good and sound policy. He had voted for the Clayton amendment to the Senate bill, and | was the only Northern Senator who had so voted. ’ The constitution declared expressly that naturalization laws must be uniform. Thero cannot be one law for the States and another for the territo- ries. .This amendment would be to extend natu- ralization laws over Nebraska; for that reason he had voted for it, and would do so now. He quoted all the Frcoedentsn of territorial governments, and gave the history of naturalization. He said that foreigners sid not themselves desire this privilege. The Irish and German emigrant, who come hither for a home and pro- tection, was Willing to wait for the five years prescribed by law for the right of suffrage. Congress seemed to \eye become incapable of legislating upon slavery or vestions pertaining to foreigne! ey seemed to be Hpalled on the one hand by abolitionists, and on the ther hy thoee who eought to use foreign’ influence to promo‘e their own ends—their own ends over the extent of relling it out for gain. Whata seene was beheld during he last Presidential election! That old chief, who hat uccessfully braved the perils of battle fields on the nor- hern frontier, ond who in triumphant glory had carried fiag to the halla of Montezuma, went about the ountry speaking of the rich Irish brogue and the sweet German accent. What a humiliating spectacle. He had the itizens, and oppored to assaults upon them by the Na- tive American party; but he did not believe foreigners tsked this right, and he hoped the amendment would revail, Mr. Toomes, (whig) of Ga., said the ervor of the Senator, consisted in confounding naturalization, and the right of suffrage, Naturalization mado no man a vote, The right of voting is regulated by State autbocity alone. The right to vote makes no man a citizen. After the re- volution, for years, not over one third of the free white male citizens did not enjoy the right to vote, for propert qualification existed in most of the States. ’ The right of, voting In territories had not for the first forty years been confined to citizens, and since that time practice has been of gieat principles, the aloption of which ought not to endangered by this outside issue, which involved no constitutional question. Though in favor of ihe amendment itself, he thought the friends of the bill ought to yield in this cage to the House. These foreigners were on our shores. It was no time now to discuss the propriety of adopting them. As they were here, he was tor Americsnizing them Ly the most speedy method. Mr. Atcuisox, (dem.) of Mo., said he had voted for this amendment before, and Be believed it to be right. He did not believe any one should vote or hold office but citizens of the United States; but it was not a constitutional difficulty—and as the bill con- tained other and higher principles he was willing to abandon theamendment. He wonld vote for this bill if it hada thousand other obnoxious features, because it repeals the infamons restriction placed on the territory by Congress of 1820.

The balance in the treasury on the 1st of Api followed in’ the footsteps of pioncers. Foreigners ‘wero | was $18,000. This large balance was explained by the not generally agriculturists; they were mechanics, la- | board. The Board of Domestic Missions reported in fa- borers, and traders. He bad been charged by abolition papers in Missouri with having been the author of this amendment, and with having used the Senator from Delaware tool to offer it. He denied having had any knowledge of the amendment until it was offered, Mr. Clavrox said he offered the amendment without having had any consultation with the Senator; and he had no conversation with him on the subject until | after it had been disposed of. Mr. WALKER made argument to show Congress had no | power over right of suffrage of people of the States. Mr. Txirim, (dem.) of Ia., opposed the amendment. He regretted that it had been offered. If put into the bill, | all the trouble, anxiety, labor, and so forth, of this ses- | sion would prove to haye been in vain. The bill, if sent | back to the House, might be defeated, and it might not be possible again, for years to come, to get into Congress a body of men who would settle this question of slavery | s bill propered todo.

In justice to Northern people, he demanded the repeal of the Missouri Compromise. | it was the North and not the South who were put under | restriction by that compromise. South of 86 30 the people of the South could have slavery or not as they pleased. North of it the free people are denied the privilege accorded to their brethren at the South. The amendment was wrong, because {it attemptc¥ to ay that certain residents of the count not have the right to vote.

It would not restore quiet or peace. It had already alarmed and excited the whole country, particularly the North; and its effects were yet to be seen. Mr. Tocmrs ssid—If the Senator had defended his own course, which saying aily needed defence, and had not ar- raigned that of others, be (Toombs) would have said no- | thing. The friends of this bill ask no advice of the Senator and desired none from him. The Senator had complained that he could not understand the great prin- ciple contained in this bill, which induced Southern Senators to support it. That principle was contained in bg amendment of the Senator from Illinois to e Senate bill, ing the Missouri compro | and chariog Soe question for Congressiona action. For tnat ion contained in that great prin- ciple, the senator from Tennessee had voted and was res- aoe ge The senator tnroughout had acted with its riends. bad attended all meetings and deliberations of its friends. The senator was present at a meeting of whig renators, at which the resolution was adop‘ed re- monstrating with the whig organ in this city for opposi- | tion to this bill. The senator did not toa resolu- tion of the whig friends of the bill. The senator took a part in all meetings of the friends of the bill, and was understood to unite with other whig sena- tors, authorizing Badger to stat dove, that on the cei were united, If the bill contains any wrong, any injus- | te, a8 of the dill Southern whigs tice, any injury to the South by repealing the Missouri compromise, then the Senator is responsible for it, for he voted to put that provision in the bill. The Senator asked what great princlple was contained in the repeal of the Missouri restriction ? for if it was unconstitutional it required no repeal. The constitution throws a quad- ruple guard around legislation. Senators, Representa- tives, the Executive and the Judici ‘were sworn to sup the constitution. Each branch to decide for itself on the constitutionality of its acta. If all consti- tutional questions were to be left to the Judiciary, why #3 or the Executive trouble themselves about | the constitution at all. To ask him to re; an uncon- | stitutional law, was to ask him to do tbat which he | could not resist, though the law was eminently wise and just in iteelf. For that reason he had cheerfully voted for the repeal of the Missouri act. There were at the North who lived by agitation, and the Senator wes now hniled by them with rejoicing, as an ally and co- laborer in the work of prolonging agitation, by defeating is Mr. Bri. spoke for nearly an hour in reply, but kad not, he said, more than fairly commenced what he had to fay.

This was wholly incorrect. As to the other meeting at whicn it was stated tho Sena- tor from North Carolina was authorized to state all Southern whig Senators agreed on the bill, he did not consent to any such statement. Mr. BancER said that at the mecting of the whig Sena- tors, it was suggested that he should state they were united in the support of all that he asked, if he stould state the fact in his speech, and was answered in the af- firmative. He did so, and at the time thought he was as much authorized to say the Senator from Tennessee was in favor of the bill as that he (Badger) was. Mr. Bett said it was all a mistake, Mr. Crayton said he could explain the matter. It was agreed that the Senator from North Carolina should state that all the Southern whig Senators were in favor of the repeal of the Missouri restriction. Mr. Bett interrupted—elaiming the floor, and saying to Mr. Clayton, if you goon, 1 will instead of getting into another with you. He then said he was not present at any meeting, in which any- body was authorized to say the Southern whig Senators were in favor of the bill. He repeated this over several times. and at 5 o’clock yielded the floor, and the Senate adjourned, House of Representatives. ‘WasiinGTox, May 24, 1854. The House resolved itself into Committee of the Whole on the State of the Union, on ‘THY PACIFIC RATLROAD. The consideration of the special order—the Pacific Railroad bitl—was postponed till to-morrow and the com- mittee took up ‘THE DEFICIENCY BILL. The committee resumed the consideration of the Senate amendment Sppropriatiag half illion dollars for the construction of works to supply Washington and George- town with water. Mr. Have, (whig) of N. Y., said, that if the commit. tee got afloat again on this water, they would hardly touch bottom to-day, and appealed to the gentlemen to vote. The amendment was disagreed to. The Senate amendment appropriating $75,000 to build. we eg over the Little Falls of the Potomac, was de- ated. Mr. Sravxtox, (éem.) of Ky., said the bridge which recently fell there, killing one man, and breaking the head of another, was built of rotten iron, with holes in it as big as his ‘fist, plugged with lead and painted to hide defects. He offered a proviso to place the construc- tion of the new bricge under competent civil engineers. With this additional amendment, the amendment was concurred in. Iaving acted on several other amen’ ments, Mr. Wain, (dem.) of N. ¥., moved the committee rise; there evidently was not a quora; without drum. ming up, ond besides, there were provisions in the bill which oupht not to pass. The committee refused to rise. Shortly after, it being difficult to keep a quorum, owing to the proceedings on the Nebraska bill in the Senate, the committee rose and the House adjourned. Free Democratic Conventions In Pennsyl- vania. PrrrsRcRG, May 24, 1854. The free democratic cousty convention met to-day, and appointed delegates to the State convention, but adjourned without nominating a county ticket. They are to again assemble upon the call of the county com- mittee. The free democratic State Convertion also assembled to-day; about forty delegates were present. E. D.

Adopted. The report regarding the Danville Seminary then came up, when a warm personal debate commenced. Dr. McMaster, of Va., attacked bitterly the action of the committee of the last General Assembly, charging that they had improperly suppressed information before them, and induced the Assembly to adopt a report which otherwise would not have been adopted. The fight is between the Danville and New Albany seminaries. Dr. Breckenridge opposes, and a Warm time is anticipated. Dr. MeMasters had not concluded at the hour of adjourn- ment. From Boston.
