bills of exchange of certain descriptions.—
This act was approved by President Madi

assumed therefore by many that Congress
has the power to impoee s'tax opoo book

This whole doctrinu is ably and lucidly sot
forth in .Mr. Wehster’s letter to M. do Bo-

Bocanegro first addressed Mr. Wibster
when Secretary of State' on the 12th of
May, 1812, upon the subject of tbo Viok-
tfon of our neutrality towards Mexico, by
what he called invasion, from the United
States. I read part of what he said, in
which be sets forth his complaint :
"The Mexican Government entertained so
high an of the force of the government
opinion of the United States, and of its
power to restrain those, its subjects, from
violating the religious faith of treaties
solemnly concluded between it um< other
nation-, and from committing hostilities a-
gaiiat such nations in time, of peace, that it
caonot cosily comprehend how those persona
bare boon able t» evade the punishment de

quiet impunity Which incessantly encour

and Mr. Webster says that it is not iocim

to do it. Nicaragua has got no embdied

of factions. The only legitimately elected
President of that Republic by tne popular
vote, it Wm. Walker. I assert that with

Wm. Waiker. He would, in my judgement

Tills is emigration—the same emigration,

of the law of nations, only autiiotirc tbe
prevention of armei1 and organised expedi
tions. it is not permitted, nor i* it to be
expected, that we should forbid emigration;
nor is it a violation of tbe obligations of ncu
trality, that the country to which our people
choose to emigrate, happens to be at war
with andth'tii^with which wc are friendly.—
The citizen, and subjects of all countries
have g>r,e to Texas and joincdlls armies.—
The only difference ts that a larger number
of tbe people ol the United titales has gone
to that conntry. Docs tbe Dnmher alter tbe
expressed
against tho law of nati ns, I ant ngninst;
but when Atnetican citizens see fit to
change their allegiance, and go with’ rifle
nnd ke.tvlo knifo in hand. I suv thut they
bnve a right to tie,so.’ Yes, sir, they have
a constitutional right to hour arm’s m tills
country nml to carry them whorovor they
sco fit to go They cannot use our soil.on
which to crg.ro se military expeditions. If
thaydoso, stop thorn, if Walkor commit-
tod a crimo, let him bo tried, but do nut add
insult to wrong, meckery to outrage. Do
not commit this great wrong upon him . if
he he riot guilty, If you accuso him t y
him; ami if found not guilty, redress tho
wrong as yntt ought. My-opinion is, that
he is innocent; that lie ha, violated no law.
l am not hero .as bis eulogist. History
will take cure of him.
Believing that he has violated no law,
and vindicating, ns I do, the constiiutionnl
rights of every inun in our jurisdiction,
whothor oitiz-n or not, I say, sir'-that if lie
be guilty,try him; bat do not interfere
with the right, of any man uprn the bare
Bssumpli in of hia being an oflcnder, wilh»
out n trial. His guilt has to be proved.
Mr. Chnirmnn, I stated, and ropuat now
that Walker’* government in Nicaragua
was recognised by litis. Mr. Whoelir, our
minister, recognis d the ltivss government,
and rceogni ed Walker a* President. Ttio
representative of_that government here
was recognised by this government; and
this government did n .t, sir-and I want
this houso to ki ow it—reooga’s any other
tiian the gevcrnmcnl under which Walker
hold oflieo, until after he »ailed on this ox-
pedition. J.et no man say that I am in
favor of vi„luting national faith; let no
man put mu in the po ition of speaking
lightly of the national faith ur the national
flag. Genii men cannot occupy that; I
stand upon it myself. The stars and stripe -,
wlionovcr they wave ever a ga Innt navy.io
defense of the rights of uur ciliz ns, and
in defenso of national law, I shall hail
with d6liglit..aii<l be ready to respond, from
the I jtioin of my heart, in praise of its
chivalrous officers and men.
But, sir, the member* of this Iluiiiio havo
been unfortunate in ulluding to General
Jackson, nnd to the case of Capt. Ingraham.
Cien. Jack-on l.inifo f took poss.ision of
Florida, lie tvaB if you please, a grand
liilibuater himself. Tlmt wa* illegal. His
error was on lirtue’* side. Hc-crred for
the country, and for the people’s interests.
But it remained lo Commodore Paulding
for the first time in our country's history, to
hear tlmt gallant flag, not in defenso of
men of his own blood, of his own flesh, of
hi* own race, who had changed their allo-
gianco ; but it, was tho honor of Cum.
Paulding to do a deed that ho boasts of
haring done in anticipation-of a British
captain, lie boasts of the deed and says
if ho had not dono it the British would
hare done it. Hi* glory, as I understand
it, is, that he stepped in und did the British
work. When the American flag io prostis
tuted to perform the work of a British
officer, l cannot commend the deed. Why,
sir, when Davis took this same man; a
British commander was alongside. If it is
coining to this, that onr Navy in Central
America is to do Uiilisb work and British
bidding, l say it Is time they were called
homo, it was not such work as this that
our il iring commandors did in the last war,
when thoy elevated tho American Navy to
that height of glory that it has attained,
and of wliica we may all bo justly proud.
That was achieved by fighting the British,
and opposing British policy.

ATLANTA, January 26, 1858.
Trade in,Atlanta yesterday was more live
ly than on Satufdgy, a considerable amourit'
of protloce having boon brought to towhtin
wagons in courno of the day. Cotton went
off at tin cents for tho best. Oats 40.—
There i* a market itnprevomeniinallbranch
es ot linsitiois. which wo btiiavc bids fair
under ihe prospects to oontinao. Farmers
anght'by’jtll fooung to bring In tfioir produev
to market iod take advantage of tho present
stato of trade.
Oiiarukston—At last advices, tho market
was heavy and sales of cotton rouged nt from
91 to IO}. Buyers nnd sellers nil wailing
for th" news of tho steamer Europa daily ax-
peoted.
Savakhah-On Saturday 600 bales were
sold in this market, at from 10j to It cents.
The eondition of inoucy matters in Non
Orleans is highly gratifying. The Banks
hold ten millions in coin to ■ three million*
sixty days since. The increase list woekrin
specie was $1,101,507, and their whnlo cir

Mr. De Bocsn-grs's complaint is two
fold. First, that citiien* of the United
State* have supplied the rebels in Texa>
w th ummuriitioa, arms, vaeSeii, u oney, and
recroile; I are publicly raised force* in their
cities, anti fitted out vine hi in their ports,
loaded them with munition* of war, an!
marched recommit hoililiei'agaiatt a friend
ly nation, under (he eye, and with tbe
knowledge of tU pabiic sathorit.ci. In all
this, Mr. D* Bocooegra ap; dra to forgot
that, while tbe United States are at peace
with Mexico, thoy are also at peace with
Texas; that both Haiti on the urne footing
of friendly uatioua; that since 1837, the U.
State* have regarded Texas ae an indipend
eut sovereignity, as much as Mexico, and
that trade and commerce with ciyten* of a
Government at war with Mexico oMinut, on
that account, te regarded a* an intarrouns
by which ssriauace and succor are given to
Mexican rebel*.’’ * • * «
"Acknowledging Texas to be an inde
pendent nation, the government ol the Uni.
ted Stare*, ol coarse, allow* and encourages
lxwfol trade and commerce between the to
eoantrit*.
Tbu principlo is the ramc. An American
citizen, for example, • is ubout to embark
from New Orleans, and To has bit rifle, bo-
wie-koife, and pistols, liavn nor anthori-
tios any pow«r o -top him? if there are
ion or a bandreil, tho case is tbe same. I go
forti.tr. If tboy admit fbay arc going to
Texa*. ar.d intend to become citixens, and
io join tbe armies of that country, it caonot
be prevented Ail t.uat could be said to them
would bo, ‘If you go to Texas and become
citixens, you hove a right to do so.tochange
yonr iliegiano , and to diaefaargo alt the new
duties which such a change of allegiance
may exact; bnt you are no longer a citizen
cf the United .State*.' if a regular milita
ry expedition is fitted ont, then it is not only
our right, hut our high duty, to present it.
In all the rcvo'utionary movement* of tho
HouthA merican Repcblica, including Mex-
fop, large nnmlsx* of our people joined the

captain being a man of aa original torn of

“Jump overboard, and marry, the man

The young Ixdy, struck with the idea, aod
