535 NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, MARCH 9, 1855. VOu XX. ALB! IMPORTANT FROM Interesting Debate on the Prohibitory Liquor Bill PROPOSITION TO STRIKE OUT THE SEIZURE CLAUSE. Tho Etection of a Bank Superintendent by the People, én, ke, dn. NEW YORK LEGISLATURE. Senate. * Aunayy, Mareh 7—4 P.M. THE TEMPERANCE BILL, Mr. Hrroacock being called to the chair, the Commit- tee of the Whole took up the bill for the suppression of intemperance, pauperism and crime. Mr. Brooxs moved to amend the first section by ex- empting liquors imported into the State, in its transit to another State or Territory, from the provisions of the seizure clause, Mr. Horgrys would like to know the Senator’s reasons for this motion, Mr. Brooks explained that it was well known that a Jarge quantity of liquor was imported into this country, most of which was received at the port of New York, ‘Now bis idea was, that the party importing it, aud pay- ng the United States duty charges, should be secured from the sweeping seizura clause of this bill, while transporting it to its ultimate destination beyond the limits of the State, Mr. Dickinson remarked that the laws of the United Statee were sufficiently explicit on this point. A man, after paying duty on the article imported, and after it is placed in the warehouse, can withdraw it therefrom, and return it to the country from which it was exported, in which case he receives hack the duty paid. He saw po necessity for the amendment. Mr. BRooxs was unfortunate in not making himself understood. His amendment did not touch the cave treated by the Senator from the Twenty-sixth, but had reference only to imported liquors passing through this State to its destination. Mr. Dickinsow now, at least, understood the bearing of the amendment, and he could inform the Senator from the Sixth that it was mot the object of the friends of this measure, in attempting to remove the bane of in- temperance from our own State, to inilict it upon our sister States. He hoped the motion would be voted down. ‘Mr. W. Crank bad an amendment to propose which he thought would supersede the amendment of the Senator from the Sixth, which he read, after which he request- ed the Senator to withdraw h's amendment. Mr, Brooks, although he did not think the Senator's amendment fully equal to bis own, would withdraw it for the present. Mr. W. Crank then offered bis amendmaat, which was to atrike out all that portion of the first section which prohibits the ‘keeping’ of liquor by any except those authorized to soil it for medical or mechanical pur- poses. Mr. Bisuor briefly expressed, his opposition to this amendment. Mr. W. Crank replied, saying that law might as well be enacted making it am oilence for a butcher to keep his knife ip his bowge, because it might be male use of to murder, He thought this provision of the bill simply ridiculous. He further remarl that at the roper time be intended to move to strike out every- thing in the bill which looked iike authorizing a search for, anc seizure of, a man’s preperty, If retained in the bill, they would assuredly render it inoperative, and he wanted to see it one that wor tand the test of tims, not one whose very stringeacy would compel its reoval in less than a year. Heonjected alse to that clause which justifies a destruction of the liquor when found on vnau- thorized premises. The people would revolt against those acts of tyrenoy, Neither woul! be sanction the licens- ing of ove class of men to vend au article, while deem- ing the keeping of it a pu ble offence in another class He would not prohibit the making of wines from the currant or pative grapes, 1a other particulars, too, the bili must be amended, in orier to secure his appro- val; but be had stated his chief objections, In sub stance, on this subject, he wanted to see a stetate en- acted that would not be a nullity. He wanted to see this Legislature pase a law that would work more effectually, and do more good than the * Maiae Laws’? enacted by the Rastern States, which the heat authorities concurred in characterizing as of little utility there Many of the best temperance men of the State agreed with him that but little legislation was required to stop the progress of iatemperance—but that little must be of the right cha- racter. Mr. Bistior denied that the ‘Maine Law’’ was of little Or 50 avail in those States which had enacter On the contrary, it was eminently here. It was useless to say of the provisions of thi fanction the most stringent, erced, tor. Mr, Wrirxey wanted a practical temperance bill— something that would effectually arrest intemperance. He votec for the law of last winter much aguiast his udgment, and he warne ators that if they persisted n making this bill as ionable as that’ one, they must not count on his v Mr. Horxins was invi eacch clause, yet be woul with regard to its utility eettled ose, if ic was retained, tha et, perbaps, it were as wel Nect it would have oubtedly r. necessful, and so it would be poople will revolt at any Instead. they will gladly bd see that they are en. rent 8 to this seizure and to have the question tence He did net sup- it would ever be actet on retain it, for the moral retention of the State, and not State, butof the sation. It ts too lat+ for ure to feed presumption, as the Senator from the Twenty-fourth (Mr. W Clack) seemed to do in presuming that the people would revolt at this or not, Senators bave no cause for fearing the disapprobation of the people, if they enuct this bul with all the stringency that ia sail to character: Torovghout the length and breadta of our Staty—with maid and imateon— boy auc mav and ol+—all wre familiar with it, and all, or nearly all. acknowledge its necessity, and yet Senators talk as if itwasa new thing, He admired dis- cretion in any man—be admired it particularly in the le islator—and he coula not Sut commend the Senator rom the Twenty-fourth in approaching this bill; it be came the Chairman of the Judic sry Commictee; and y: when he remembered that Senator voted for this ves Dill, word for word In all its prominent particulars, last winter, be failed to conceive the cause for the many ob- jecticns which be had raised to the measure th « after. noon ‘The fact that the yreat wass of the people wanted & probibitory law cannot be denied, and the sooner it i given them ibe better, There was one thing the Senator from the Twenty-fourth let drop which struck him a« undue assumption. He predicts nisastrous consequeaces ifcertain claures in ths bill are adopted. In the bebt of philoophy, we must hare a great u possibilities and probabil ties ere we can wrll base an inference, even, But it is the prerogative of ( lone to predict the fu- ture. Let Senators but r aber that the people im- peratively Gemand a prob Vquor law, and all will go well Mr. Dickinson had vote! for but he was free to say that be would have amended it in many particulars, if be coud have done so. But that privilege was denied him, and he foand himsetf forced to vote for the pill, notwithstanding its objectionable features, or else vote against entire measare, Of course, he adopted the former alternative. But that vote would not ceter him from striving ta amsad this Dill in those obj onable particulars. He, too, waated a temperance Iaw, as mucd as any Senator about the circle, or any man in the State; but be wantel one that vid not defeat itself Senators bad said that this bill ern passed upon by the people, aud approved, in them Was this so’ How wae it in Tompkins county, where this very question of seizure and search was carried down to the people’ The contest was be- tween the man who, last wioter gouled Senators and members to vote for thia Lill, disearding all proposi- tions to amend, and who avid in bis zeal, toat he would rather have the mea lefeated than see miliar story to the e bill of last wiater; it amended in one particular, and a man who was avowrdly: opposed to that principle, What was the result y, Mr. Joy—honorable, —big'-minded, and unobjectionable ia every other particular—was is opponent was re similar result was wit nessed in Dutchess county. The people have d 1 against the right of search and seizure—they will not brook it, and he, for one, woul! never consert to vote @ law upon our statute books which be believed would be inoperative. He did not want to vete fora bill on fo important a subject, to have it repealed by the next I ture, Our peopie are ing prople— other State or vation holds (Laughter a applause.)

THY SUPERINTENDENCY OF THE RANKING DEPARTMENT, Mr. Lamrort asked that the bill te amend the act or- ganizing the Bank Department, be referred to a select committee to report complete. Refused, and aubse- quently Mr. Boynton moved a reconsideration for Mr. L., thougly he was opposed to such a referense. Messrs, Boynton, Baker, May and Fitch were opposed to the motion to refer to a select committee, and in- quired why itshould not go to the Bank Com mittee? Mr. Lamport replied that the committee named might not bave time to report on the mubject. His object waa to get a report, so that the House might come to a vota on the question. He denied casting any imputation on the Bank Committee, He considered this an important office. and be thought it would be more democratic to have it filed by the people, Such a mode would be de- mocratic, and he claimed to be somewhat democratic, considerable whig, and a little Hindoo, Messrs, Rhodes, Stanton and Stevens sustained the motion to refer to a select committer. It had been cus- tomary to ask select committees on particular aubjests, and they could see no reason why it should not be graat- ed on this. Mr. Baker insisted that unlees there was some reason to believe, or aknowledge of the fact, that the bank committee would report against the jbill, the reference should be to that committee, Mr. Ruopes reptied that tke subject of this bill did not strictly relate to banks. It was to provide for the election of the Superintendent of the Bank Department by the people. Mr. Bornron moved the previous question. Mr, O’Kekrr moved to lay that motion on the table.

SESSION. The Census bill, as led, was received from the fenate. Motion having been made to coacur ia the Se- nates smendment, the Spenser decided that the amend ments were not debatable, as a motion to concur was equivalent toa third reading of the bill, The decision took the minority by surprise. Mr, GRapuy rose to a point of order, but the Speaker decided against the same. Mr. O'Krxre appesled from the decision of the Chair, but withdrew his appeal, after a warm desultory con- versation, the motion being concurring in the Senate amendments Member aiter member asked to be excused for the reason that the «mendments were never read or discussed, and, therefore, conld not vote understand- el vi ingly. When Mr. Headly’s name was called be asleed to be excured, The House refused, but Mr. Headly would not vote—his name being called three tunes in vain, The Speaker pronounced him in contempt.

Mr. Hran hen spoke, disclaiming disrespect to the House, but insisted that his rights bad been encroached upon, and if the House put him in contempt he would resign and go home. Mr. Biarcurorp said the apology was no apology in fact Mr. Wren moved to amend by placing Mr. Headley under arrest, but before the question was taken on the motion o: Mr. Blatebford, the House adjourned. ‘The friends of Mr, Headley, immediately after the ad jovrmment of the House were invtied to attend the com mittee rooms, when # large number of the members, a great crowd of outwiders repaired there instantly. AmPkosk SKVENS, Of Genesee, was called to the chair, Heexpleined that this trouble had grown out of what he might sey was declared by all men in this city, versed non Mr. Patty's in parliamentary rules, to be an unjust decision of the Spesker of the Assembly, He had the authority of Mr. Croswell, who bad spent twenty five years in the As- sembly, to eny, that no question was more decisively open todebate, than on amendments coming from one bouse to another, He then reviewed the action of the majority, in the matter of the Census bill Mr. Sievens’ remarks were loudly applauded by the audie nee. Mr. Wacnr fully sustained the course Mr. Headly had taken, declaring it was manly and pobdle. Mr. Stevens stated that Mr. Raymoud and Mr. Prayn, the late epeakera of the Assembly, both held the Speaker's decision wrong. Mr Warenutny moved that the meeting express its sense of tke partial, unparliamentary and tyranical con- duct of the Speaker on this, and also on other occasions. Mr. Ruopes favored this, aud desigoated the conduct of the Chair as arbitrary and unjust towards the mi nority Eventually, on motion of Mr. Peck, of Niagara, a reso lution was adopted sympathising with Mr, Headley, ad- Vis ng him to make no further apology to the House. On motion of Mr. Warrnucky, & Committes of five were appointed to draft further resolutions expressive of the sense of the minority on the conduct of the Speaker and majority. The minority bave also called a caucus meeting for to- morrow, to decide upon the course of action to be pur. sued to resist the oppressive conduct of the majority, ‘The meeting then ad rned, Much excitement exists at the hotels, in consequence of the affair Rate of interest on Notes, &e.

Another Filibustering Expedition— Full and Complete De- tails of its Armament, Materials and Munitions of War—Jere. Clemens Looming Up. While the Cuban and Kinmey expeditions have made for themselves # melancholy failure, the vast onterprise, particulaze of which I send you, has been conceived, put in ehape, and in a few days will be in motion, without the public having been previously apprised of its exist- ence, The Intelligencer of this city, and a few other p1- pers in thia neighborheod, have given short paragraphs | intimating that something was going on, but they had no substance beyond their suspicions, which were created from the many contradictory rumors running about town. The leading spirit, as will be seen, in this enter- prise is ex-Senator Jere. Clemens, of Alabama, to whom | the material of the army and navy is to be entrusted— having, as backers, an American force of twelve hundred men equipped for fighting purposes—himself to lead the Jand forse, while the gallant Alvaraco Hunter i« to com- | mand the navy. There has probably never been an ex- pedition gotten up in this country of anythiog like the magnitude of the one in question, that has beea conducted with equal secresy, or in the success of which capitalists and'mea have so freely proffered their means and services. If the ‘‘Vanderbilt’’ of New York is not committed for the furnishing of the steam and sail- ing vessels, 1 may venture an opinion that he thinks well of the undertaking, and stands ready to extend to it his support. The money estimated as essential to the success of the expedition has been raised, principally in New York, and gentlemen are now here—late members of Congress, many of them—who are giving their aid ia hastening the departure of the expedition, The princi- ples on which this organization is based are of the most hororable character; the men who are to guide it are the first of the country, favorably and long known for | their intelligence and capacity. It will be further ob- | served, that at the p:oper time it was intended to piace | the particulars sent you before the government, or at _ least before the country, as there would then be no wish { to keep the matter longer private:— EXTRAOT, In 1843 Juan José Flores was elected Proaident of the Republic of Kevador. In 1845 Urbina got up a military revolution, and cispossessed him. Siace tuen Flores has been constantly engaged in efforts to reinstate himeelf in power; but the peasantry, who wera his only adhe- rente, ot course no match for regular soldiers, and al! his Morta failed. Despairing of success in this way, he went to Europe and made propositions to an Koglish com- pany; but the Eastern war puton end to his hopes in that quarter, and be returned to America and enterod into negotiations with an American company, On our part we engeed to furniih him eighteen hundred infantry, two hundred ¢ragoons, and one huudred artillery, with a light- battery of six pieces, and two vessels, with two heavy guns each.

There is but one fortifled place in the countiy, Guyaquil, so tbat a landing oo the coast i. equivalent to a conquest of the couatry. One other question remains to be answered. How are we to evade the neutrality Jaws and effect a departure from the Uni- ted States? The ships, guns, arms, ammunition, &e., &e., are to be purchased in the name of General Flores, lon ted openly in one of the Atlantic cities, cleared regu larly from the Custom House, without any concealment of the fact that they are his; no on can question his right to purchase from our citizeas nny thing he pleases, ond ship where he pleases Nota man belonging to the Innd expedition to go on board the vessels; they are to tnke parsage on the regular mail steamers, unarmed, as emigrants for California, At Pansma, or some other point om the Pacific beyond the jurisdiction of the United States, the command is to be organized, got on board our own Vessels (which must start long enough ahead to go round the Horn and meet us), and sail down the coast at once to Eouador. ‘The yersele must be steamers, as the prevailing calms on that coast would ren?er a voyage in saling vessels too tedious and uncertain. To ‘it out the expedition as it ought to be fitted out, $400,000 will be ne I will have nothing todo with any half-way gotten up allair. Icannot aflord to risk my reputation or my life where there is any chance of failure. To raise this money two millions of the stock of the company have been set apart, and, besides, we propose to cede the guano privileges to a considerable extent to any company of merchants who will advance the required sums. Or, if they prefer it, they can furnish the vessels, arms, ammunition, &¢., we paying them im guano or atock for their advances, wt auch rates os will give thems larger remuneration than any other investment they can possibly make. ‘the men thus far engaged in the enterprise are n of character, Hligence and experience, but they are for the most part in mod: rate circumstances, and feel and hey must gi hg ? the lion’s share of A ha fits to im pitalista to invest. They expect to bear the heat and burthen of the day, to do whatever fighting is necessary to be done, and encounter whatever peril is to be met, expecting some present compensation, it is true, but looking to the fatare for their chief support. We are not without the hope that our names may be transmitted to emg dl as the founders of a mighty Anglo Saxon empire in the heart of South America.

Since March, 1853, Major Ben McCulloch, the distin. guished Ranger, has been as intimate with President Pierce asa brother could have been He was invited and pressed to make the White House his “ headquar- tera’? when in Warhington, which, however, he properly declined. The fact that Ben wasa pet was known and acknowledged by ail. But why did he not receive some sensible—some substantial evidence of Executive favor? This question was net so difficult of solution by those who understood the game which was to be played for the second term. With the Major, though, Jit was different. His friend Frank was apparentiy all sincerity, all frankness—indeed, rather too much so. He only wanted # fit opportunity to prove his attachment, and an increase of the army would af- ford him tbat opportunity. This unsought assurance on the part of the President bad no little influence in pro- curing the passage of the act authorizing the increase. ‘The President promises Major Ben, entirely unsolicited, the command of one of the regiments to be raised—the Major’s friends heard this, andef course they exerted themselves in favor of the bill. But promises, as the old saying goes, are like pie- crust— made only to be broken; and the gailant Texan learned that the adege was too true, whem informed that his friend Frank had converted his pet into Major, bes- towing the Colonel’s commissions on others, This mark of distinguished friendship Major McCulloch indignantly +purned, anc yesterday addressed a spicy letter to the President, saying be had sought no favor at his hands, ona respectfully ceclined an acceptance of the one ten: dered, atten oe — read in the Senate was ronounced by a# distinguished Senator, “ degrading to jeCulloch, and insulting to his State") ee Another Fad disappointment was experienced by the friends of the gallant Shields, for whom « new Brigadier Generaley was as much intended by Congress, when au- thorizing the appointment of one, a: the Lieutenant Generaicy intended for General Winfleld Scott. “Why was Shields not appointed?”’ was asked by every one; and astonishment seemed to be felt by all, that the nomina- tion was withheld. No other bd licant presented him- self outside of the army corps. Yet the Presicent feared, in there days of Know Nothingiem—these days of ter: rible reckoning—to prevent to the United States Senate the name of a foreigner for this high military appoin' similar fear been Wpon bim in regard to officers, some two yents since, how different would have been the political aspect of parties at the present time!
