AFFAIRS IN WASHINGTON. Our Washington Correspondence. Wasutnaron, August 7, 1856. Powers of Mr. Dallas in the Central American Ne gotiations—Great Britain Urging upon Spain the Sale of Cuba to the United States ~ Her Mo- tive to Checkmate Louis Napoleon's Spanish Pro- Ae cient of the London Times, that Mr. Dallas is empowere1 by his government to treat tor @ definite and final settlement of the Central Ame- rican difficulties, independent of subsequent super- vision and action by the United States, is not cor- wect. Mr. Dallas’ instructions give him extraordi- nary latitude in treating upon the question, beyond two or three points, which are to remain as set down by the Secretary. From the fact that the British Ministry have conceded to these demands, ‘and that Mr. Dallas is on all other subjects on the Central American question at liberty to entertain the most favorable terms offered by the British Mi- istry, has arisen, doubtless, the impression pro- nounced as a fact by the 7'imes, and now in genera! circulation. I learn, from a correct source, that the British government has again been urging upon Spain the sale of Cuba to the United States, as the only means left to replenish her exhausted treasury, and to meet the demands upon her by England, in favor of ber numerous British claimants, This intelligence is in every way reliable, and also remarkable, as indica- ative of the long entertained opinion in England that Cuba must ultimately become American pro- perty by force or purchase. This second effort of England to impress this fact favorably upon Spain ‘was made during the ministry of Espartero, who was not alone averse to a consideration of the sutject, but refiised to present the paper making it, to his colleagues of the ministry. The British Minister at the court of Madrid, however, throngh whose bands this important document had passed, made O'Donnell acquainted with its contents, ani urged the necessity for action, if the Queen’s government ‘would ho; could not pe to sustain itself, and which do without fresh pecuniary aid. When this question of the sale of Cuba came be- fore the Cortes,at the commencement of the late ogy Ministry, ; but the proposition, should it be made just now, it is Mesakt would meet with a far different recep- tion. It is evident that the Qucen cannot support herself any length of time against the revolu: nage ile it growing up and encouraged in her inions without funds to back her, and those funds aze not available to her in any effort she May make for their acquirement in Europe. It is que eipbable that England is awave of this, as well as of The design of Louis Ni pelea upon the crown of Spain, the suecess of which would be of far more serious Capea mpc oe to England than that of Cuba passing into the hands of the United States. So ‘ou eee that the Cuba question is again up; and this ime it bids fair to.become one of surmounting in- terest to England and the United States, Strange, should Engiend abandon her old ally for an alliance With the United States. Such an event is by no means improbable. ’arther information will give addition. present interesting relations of al interest to the Spain and England, Wasutxetow, Aug. 7, 1354.

In the Senate of the United States, August 5, 1856. dir. Brrixe, from the Committee on the Judiciary, sub- wilted a ae accompanied by a bill, which was read the first and second times, considered as in Committee of the W bole, aad postponed to, and made the special or- der for Monday next, the 11th August. On the 2€th of June, 1956, the Senate adopted a resola- ion in the following words:— Whereas the constitution of the United States provides that Congress may, by law, provide for the case of removal, ® inhability, both of the President and rlaring what ofieer shall then net as Prost reas in prirauance of that provision of d be 80 comprehensive ns 1o provide for every ey that ean possibly occur in the ofice of Prest cent, and 0 clear as to adinit of no controversy, nor any ques- Lon Of diepated succession (0 that hight ofier -— To thi erefore, that all Coubts or defects which ma exist in our pr I subject, may be remedied, and furiber controversy prevented Ke it resolved by the Senate of the United States, That the Commitee on the Judiciary be tnsiructed to exunine into those laws, and inquire whether (he provisions they contain are constitutional, proper and adequat } reapecis, to that purpose and end, or whether any farther leg be neces sary or proper, aud to report thereon by bill or otherwise The committee bas considered this subject with great care, and Lerewith reports a bill adequate, in its opinion, to meet all the dificulties suggested. The {ith section of the second article of the constitution ig the one to which the resolution refers; and that articlo, together with the acts of Congress passed to give it effect, bave beem bronght under consiJeration by the committee. ‘The section of the constitution is as follows:— Tn ense of the removal of the Pr or of his death, resignation, or taw the powers duties of "the said shall devolve on the Vice President, and t may by Jaw provide for the case of remove th, tion, or Inability, both of the President and ‘Vice President, any Fe ‘oMfcer shall then act as President, and such r I} act accordingly, until the disability be removed, or » President shall be elected. And the act of Congress approved March Ist, 1792, im reference to this subject, contains two sections, to wit, the ninth and tenth, which are as follows: — See. 9. That In cage of a removal, death, resignation, of in. ability, both of the President and Yice President of the United Stctes, the President of the Sena® pro tempore, and in case there sball be no President of the Senate, then the Speaker of use of Representatives, for the time betng, shall act as ed State, until the disability be removed, be elected Sec. 10, That whenever the offices of President and Vice Tresident shail both become vacant, the Secretary of State shall forthwith cans a notification thereof to be made to the executive of every State, and shall alao enuse the same tobe ished in at least ono of the newspapers printed in each specifying that electors of the President of the Untied States shall be appointed of chosen in the several States, within forty-four days precediug the first Wednesday in. De cember, then next ensuing ; provided there shall be the epace of two monthh becween the date of such notif- cation and the sald first Wednesday in December: bat if there shall not be the spece of two months between the date ‘of such notification ond the first Wednesday in December, ant if the (er m for which the President and Vice President just in office were elected shal! vot expire on the third day of March next ensuing, (hen the Secretary of State shall apeeity in the votifieaton that the electors shail be appainted or chosen wih in thirty four days preceding the frat Wodnowlay in Decem. her, in the year next enaning, within whien thne the electors thall accordingly be appointed or and the elsetors shall meet and give thetr votes on th rat Wednesday in Becember, and the proceed the sald eloe tors and others shail be pursuant to the directions prescribed in shia net, The committee will Gret give ite a'tention to the consid- eration of this last section, as the one mainly involving conetitu i een» pase it under the provisions of the 5th section of the 2d article. The firet point of view in which this section of the act has been presented to the committee is this: Can Con arcee, vader (he genoral avtority and in strict pursuance of the constitution, do ai iy thing mere than desigoate the Cicer to perform all the duties of President for the unex- pired term of the vacaney occasioned in any one of the Methods contemplated in the constitation? It has been suppered and maintained, with a good deal of fo-co, that the legislation of Congress must be controlled by the let seotion of the 2d article of the constitution, which reads as followe:— The executive power shall be vested in a President of the Uniied States of America. He shail hold his office dnring the n of four years, and, together with th ¢ Preadent, een for m, be elected as fol Fach Sf all appoint in_such manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, A Number of electors equal to the whole humier_of Senstors and representatives to which the State may be entitled ity che Congress; but no Eenator or represen tative. or person holding an office of (rust or profit under the United States, shall be appointed an elector. Acrording to this view, there can be no election of Pre. eident except once in four years, and the executive func. tions of President may devolve upon an inferior officer, tad be discharged by him, ia pursuance of legislative “the enactment, during the full term for which the President aad we Vice President had been elected, {f such bs a fair construction of the Constitution, then a Progde t might become so without the direct agency or the delibe- rate Jorgmret Pie partes to the federa! compact, This is not ion of the committee. Tae logisiation of 1792 evidently contetplated that the President pore or Speaker, should not only be a cont Gry, with Presidentia! authority of @ provi-ional charac- ter, but that he should be to a sphere of liuited ar rescribed duties. There are but two officers ex- pressly provided in the election held once iu avery four ‘ear-—« President and hig substitute, the Vice President. these, no election by the primary constituent ege u provided for, - In case of @ vacaucy in the office of President, either of a temporary or entire character, the power: aud duties of the office devolve on the Vice Pre-ideat. In case of a egenry, in the office of Vice Pre- sident also, the Congress may, by law, declare what offi. cer shall actas President, and such ofticer shall act ac- cordingly, until the disability be removed, or a Pre-i- dent sball be elected. The acting officer has not devolved on him, u& terms, the powers and duties of an elected President, according to the provisions of the constitotion. It seems to the committee that the officer relected can act only fora Kmited term aud witha pre- scribed purpose. Of course he must discharge all the duties of a Presi dent until one is elected, and for such purpose the ofllcer is authorized to perform the duties ribed in the ac’ of 1792. This act came from the mind of the framers 0 the constitution, and was passed in circumstances woll calculated to give it the sanction of intelligeuce and pur pose, The Precident and Vice President are elective ma- gistrates, and hold their authority directly from ths constitut.on. The ofticer on whom Congress devolves exeewive functions by law is not elective; he i3 not the choice of constitutional constituents, and if he could be come president (be day after the electioa of Presideat ant Vice resident, by their death, then a tiranger to the people might indirectly become their ruler against their consent. _ Whilst the commitiee do not question the constitu tionality of the clause of the act above mentioned, the are satisfied that these provisions are not sufliciently full and explicit to guard, in al! cases, against the mischief of confusion and anarchy, ‘The riath section designates but two officers to take upon themselves the executive function, in the coutingen- cy specified, namely, the President of tho Senate pro tempore, and in case thero be no President, them the Speaker of the House of Representatives. The , Only, ace to perform the duties of President as specified in the ninth section. From the termination of one Congress to the meeting of the next, there may be no Speaker; aud whether such Speaker ora President pro tempore would have, at the time, tho requisite qualifications, uadcr the Constitution, to be in- vested with the ies and powers of an acting President, is a question of too much importance to be left to the de- cision of the occasion, The fourth clause of the second article of the Constitu- tion reads as follows: — * _No peison, except a native born citizen, or 9 citizen ofthe United States at the time of the adoption of this Constitutioa, shall be eligtble to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible. to that office who shall not ha to Ue age of thirty-five years, and been fourteen years a resident within the United States Your committee ts of oppion that no one can be eligible to discharge, for the time being, the functions of Presi- dent, unless ‘be be Suirty five years old, anda native bora citizen, A Speaker of the House, ora President pro tem- pore, might not have these qvalitications—and ifso, he could not act as President in compliance with the Consti- tem action- tution. To guard against the danger of an entire ‘vacancy in the office of President, prideace would seem to call for further legislation. What officers then should be desig. after the President pro tempore, and Speaker, to act esident! The cabinet for the time being, in some preseribed order, would in most circumstances, be the Proper functionaries ta fitl the vacaucy. In case: of death they would be the persons most fit for the cccasien, There are other circumstances, how- ever, which would rw the cabinet officers unfit to oceupy the place of the V’resident. In case 0: bis impeach- meut for high political offences, the Cabinet might be im Plicated, as particenes criminis, and ought not to be in the p sition ofailtes. ‘To allow any of the cabinet to become "resident, therefore, might be to arm them with powers of great mischiet. Another question, also, might arise— whether they could be rogarded as oilicers after the cfficial functions of their principal had terminated or were suspended. It bey become the duty ofthe substi. tute of the President to have new advisers, by removing obnoxions ones from their offer ding position, Another class cf functionaries been indicated ag Psbanr d suited for the di of the dutics of a vacant Presidency, to wit: the Sen: in the order of their rial term ¢f service, or when several Senators have * continuous term of service, then the Senator 2 years to be invested with the authority of an ¢ President for the purposes contemplated. There ‘© objections to such au arrangement: firat, a ques- tion of fact might arise as to the continuous duration of term, and actual age would bave to be ascertained by some inquiry before the power could yest with such cer- tainty as onght to be provided by law. Besides, Senators are locs! representatives, and such as are not ina rela- tion to be fitted for the discharge of federative trusts. The attention of the committee has beea turned to nother Class of magistrates, namely, the Chiof Justice a other Justices of the Supreme Court, as oflicers well calculated to discharge the duties of a Provisioual Presl- dent, under an act of the legislature, ‘Theso magistrates have assigned to them a high juris- diction, bringing within its ecope duties and powers af. fecting the concerns and laterests of the entire confedera cy. They derive their commissions through high sources and the responsible sanctions of those representing the whole apd the separate parts of the confederacy, and are well entitled to conddence. But for the provision, in the ect of March, 1, 1792, having so long existed on the statute bcok, conferring on the Preeident of the Senate pro tempore, and Speaker of the House of Representative:, the power to act as provisional President, the committe? would have preferred to deaignats the Chief Jnatice an | other justices of the Supreme Court as the proper officers to perform the executive duties. Acquiescing, however, in what bas been enacted, the committee wil! proceed to recommend other provisions on the subject. When there shall be such & vacancy ag may result from the want of a President of the Senate pro tempore, and Speaker of the House of Representatives, then the committee recom mends that the duties prescribed by act of A shall devolve on the following officers: first, on tho Chief Justice, when he has not participated, in tho trial of the President; and next, on the justices of the Supreme Court, according to the date of their commissions. The committee ts of opinion that none of the already mentioned officers can act as the provisional resident, aniess be have the qualifications prescribed for eligibility of the President of the United States, as contain fourth ection of the second article of the Constitution, ‘The committee further recommends, that when the du- ties of @ provisional President, di by act of Con- gress, ball be undertaken, they ll be completed in view of a distinct end, to wit, to cal! iuto requi ition the primary power of electing a i'resident authorized to exer- se powers of the Executive as emanating from the cunstitulion; to have the plenitude of constitutioual authority; to be the President of the people, electe! by recognized process and prescribed form, The committee is of opinion that andor the ffth clause of the second article of the constitution, in caso of a cancy occurring in the office of Protident, that the Vice Present elected by the people becomes the President for the residue of the term. In such a case, ho power is re served to clect a President during that term. But, under the same clause, the committee is equally clear in think- ing that the cfficer designated by Congress to act as Presi- dent when a vacancy occurs in both the oilices of Presi- dent and Vice Preailent, can act only until the vacancy is removed, and a President {s elected. And Congress, ua- der (his ariicle, must provide the time of holding the elec- tion and the day on which the electors are to vote, that being the same throvghout the United States. The Presi- dent, 60 cted, is to hoid the office during « term of four years; this ts the only term known to the con stitation of a President elected by the people. No powcr is given to holt an election, by the people, jor the residve of any existing term; the election held under this authority ts like an election to pro vide for an approaching reg vacancy—aa elec. tion of a Presidebi—and, under the first clause of th artic'e, the time of every election by the as to b four years. When any lesser periof is intonded it is in words so stated § The oflcer who may be selectet by Congress to act as I'resident, ia the event of the double yacancy of President and Vice President, i+ to act onl until the disability is removed and a I’resideat elected. Bot when such an election ts held, there fs no limitation of this ofee other the four years provided by the fret clause, This seems to your committee to be clear. fo that your committee has come to a decision as fol- lows: A provisional President, uncer the act of March 1, 1792, is invested with the executive functions only uatil a dw ability is removed, or, im case of an entire ¥ urtil a President is chosen by the electoral colleg It ig apparent, from these suggestions, that the com- mittee believes the act of 1792 to be constitation:! in all Teepecta, and, according to its provisions, an election for President must be held (except in a case theroin specially mentioned) om the firet Wednesday of Decomber after the vacancy occurs.

Pennsylvania Know Nothing State Conven- tion at OUR BARRISBUKG CORKERPONDENCE. Hanrrspora, Aug. 6, 1856. Diversity of Opinion among the Delegates—Who toill be the Sweceseful Presidential Candidate—A Sanguine President and a Hopeful Specch—The Permanent Organization—Electors at Large— Committees Appointed—A County Convention— &e., Se. ‘This bas been a lively day for Harrisburg. The trains from ali directions came in last night and this morning loaded with passengers, many as delegates, and others a lookers on, to see what the Fillmore Convention would do. Haying been the impres- sion in various quarters that this Convention would go for a union electoral ticket, it has become a Convention of importance to the opposition of the Pierce and Forney party of this State; what this Convention would do has been the talk of all parties for the lasiten days. The Philadelphia delegates arrived hereyesterday, and were zealously at work last eveningand this morning on the few country members tha’ they found here to prevent any attempt in the Convertion to form a fusion ticket. They had everything their own way until this morning, when it was found that some of the last arrivals were for a fusion ticxet or anything else to defeat Buclanan; the tenacity with which these men clung to their views at once indicated that there would be a stormy time in the Convettion. During the entire morning squads coul¢ be seen in various parts of the town, engaged in t lively discussion of the prospects of the different candidates, and the probable resuit of the election in his State. My attention was more particu- larly attracted to a group in the rotunda of the State House, who seemed to confine their remarks to Fill- more and Buchenan. A Philadelphian remarked that he believed that Fillmore would carry two Southern States to Buchanan's one, and that Fre- mont could not carry a State. Another said Fill- inore’s chances were better than any other raan’s in the Northern States, ani he believed would be the next President. A thir voice said, “Don’t you be- lieve that. Have you sew the New Yorx Heratp lately. It has shown you Fillmore party to be a mighty small party. I tel you, John C. Fremont will be the next President, jure; the Huratp has never lost a President yet, and Bennett knows where he stands this time.” Thus the conversation went on for some two hours,each contending that their particular candidate hai the best chanve of success. At 10 o'clock A.M. the Cmyention was called to order by placing Jasper E. Brady, of Pittsburz, temporarily iu the chair. He returned his thanks t the Convention, aud sald he feit himself bighly honored to be called upon to preside over a body of natienal Americans in his own State. Six weeks ago, ht said, a Fillmore Convention would have been langhéd at in Pennsyl- vania, and delegates who would attendsuch a body, be considered fit eubjects for the Insane Asylum; but a great change has since come over theminds of the people. On the arrival of Fillmore in this country from Europe, he told the people if they wauted a Southern ora Northern President, they’ should not yote for him. for if he was elected he would be the President of the whole Union, (Cheers.) Those words have electrified the people, and they are — up to his support in all ; he was greet with enthusiasm at every town on his roate to Buf- falo, and now the State of New York is reliving 1 the support of her fuvorite son. You havea giori- ons canse and standard bearer. To you then, I say, onward, onward, and next Noven| will see that banner coy triumphantly at Wash- ington, (cheers,) and there Peg] to the world po glorious news that Americans shall rule Ame- rica. The following committee was then appointed to examine credentials:—Messrs. J. R. Flanigan, Wm. M. Wright, Alex. McConnell, Israel Gurtelins, H. A. Lanty, Thos. R. Jeflres, H. R. Swope, E. Blan- chaid, Wm. H. Slingloff. The following committee was then appointed to report officers for Eamanen organization :—Mesars. vght, Smith, Miller, Clyde, Edie, Patterson, Palmer, Peunock. The Convention then adjourned for an hour, to give the committee time to prepare tueir report. ‘he recess was well by the different politi- ci discussing the subject of a union electoral ticl Amongst the outsiders I noticed William Alexander, of land, the Chairman of the Fill- more National Committee. He was urging the Fillmore men to unite with the Fremont men on one electoral ticket, or in any other way to prevent Buchanan from carrying the State. His course seemed to astonish many of the Pi@adelphians, to think that a man coming from one of the Southern States should advocate a union ticket, At 11} o'clock the Convention was again called to order, and the Committee on Credentials reported, a their Chairman, 21 Senatorial and 67 repre- sentative delegates, being forty leas than a full convention. The Commit'ee on Permanent Organization re- petse Andrew Stewart, of Fayette couuty, for resident, thirteen Vice Presi , and A. L. Hen- nersholtz, E. Jones, J. B. McCreary, T. Adams, for ies. The was unanimously adopted. Mesers. Edic and Flanigan escorted the President to the chair. He re! thanks to the Convention for the honor that they, had conferred upon him. “ We are here assembled to act,” said he, “and not to talk,” and he, therefore, would not indulge in a long speech. ht that this body should feel cheered by the favorable reporta from all parts of the country that are now coming to them in favor of Fillinore. “For one, he had not, from the beginning, had the least doubt of the triumphant election of Fillmore. “ We are,” said he, “ the only couserva- tive party in the country; the others are both ex- tremists, and therefore wrong.” He believed the only way to bring peace aad quiet to the conatry was to elect Fillmore. He hoped this Convention would proceed in harmony to the task before it, aud then return home to work. He again returned thanks for the honor conterred upon hin. On motion of Mr. Saaut, Mr. Alexander, of Maryland, was invited to take a seat iu the Con- vention, A committee of nine were then appointed to resolutions, as follows:—Messrs. Sanderson, Brady, Slinginfi, Palmer, Edie, Ulmer, Cooly, Swr pe and Stewart. On motion, the Convention proceeded to nomi- nate electors from the State at large. Andrew Stewart, of Fayette, and Joseph R. In- py Philadelphia, were elected electors from State ot large. On motion, the following committee were ap- pointed to report district tors to the Conven- tion: —Messra. ers, Smith, Flanigan, Stewart, Sherman, Hen’ elty, Blanchard and Clyde. The vention then adjourned until 2) P. M. A County Convention, com of all who are opposed to vhe present national administration, is K +9 in session in the Court House, but have yet ac- complished nothing beyond an or, ition. Toe difficulty is as to how they shall ; or, in other words, Whether the Fillmore or Fremont men are = vi the largest share of the spoils. There is fun ahead. APTERNOON SESSION. Hanrnrssene, Aug. 5, 1866. The Convention Opposed to a Union Electoral Ticket—The Platform—Fillmore Accepted as the Choice of the Convention for President, and A. J.

Mr. Ente offered the following resolati »ns:— Recolved, That the committee appointed in the morn ing scesion to report the names of district electors be «lis charged from ferther consideration of that duty.

Mr FLasigan moved that the resolutions be laid on the table. On that, the yeas and nays were calied. Defore calling the roll the President announced that a telegraphic despatch had jast been received from Louisville, stating that all the important towns, and amon; them Lexington, the hom: of Henry Clay, bad heen hag nie Bs the Americ ina, es announcement was received with tremendous applause. ¢ vote was then taken on the motion to lay upon the table, and was carried—yens 71, nays 18. ‘This was the test qneetion of the Convention, which showed only 13 in fayoy of a union electoral tr | ADVERTISEMENTS BENEWED ZVERY OAT.
