Whlggery now. aa formerly. In a minority among the
American people, can only hope to triumph throogb
Democratic dlvlalona. Houce, onr opponenta could
not have been expected to look with fhvor upon
the President'* palrioUo effort, to unite Hardahella
aedHoflahella, Union men and Southern Right* men
In support of hla admlnUtraUon, and In opposition
to Whlggery and AbolltlonUm. No wonder they
hailed with delight any «lgn§ of disaffection among
tboae who voted for Piano*. And aatheao signs were
lint exhibited by the " Hard*," It 1* not strange that
the '* Hards ” beoamo immediately object* of intense
Interest and sympathy to Southern Whig., especially
those of Georgia.
These same gentlemen (tho Whig* of Georgia) nrc
now professing and feeling (wo .oppose) n strong de
sire for the success of the Nebraska Bill. They are
lamenting what they regard as its defeat, by the vote
tending it to tbo Committee ot tho Whole. Now let
na commend to their attention tho following extract
from the Washington correspondence of tho New
York Courier—premising that tho commitment of
tho bill was made on motion of Mr. Cuttino, tht
leader of tho Harda:
" On full reflection, I belief o that tho tear of a re-
anaritatiou of tho Nebraska bill in not to bo appro-
bended. It* consignment to the tomb of the Com
mittee of the Whole was probably no premature in
terment. It was not hurried before It waa dead.
The eight Hardshell member, who assisted at it*
obsequies acted aa well from principle aa policy.—

d ®*tl «Tany lime in its exhumation. They turned
the scale against the scliome on Thursday last, when
they had been relied upon as the fastest of its friends.
They arc now counted upon to aid In the revival or
the project. 1 learn, with deep satisfaction, that they
will lend themselves to no such work. The bill is
dead, and—l speak it without irreverence—it is
damned. It haa dragged down to political perdition
It* originators and its chief advocate..”
One would think that if Southern Whig editors
bad any remaining sense of shame or justice, they
would, if nothing more, cease for awhile their abase
of the President, knowing as they do, that in oppo-
sitlon alike to Hards and Softs, Whigs and Abolition
ists of tho North, he is striving to secure the passage
of the bill which these editors arc advocating. Yet
day hy day they contlnuo their miserably malicious
criticisms. To their readers, not themselves, we
would commond tho following extract from the Rich
mond Enquirer:
We have ourselves heard the President avow him-
seir tho ardent friend of the Nebraska bill, with that
warmth and emphasis of expression habitual with
men or his impulsive and generous nature ; and w.
have heard him Justify his position with a strength of
argument which no impartial mind could resist. Nor
does he communicate his views with any reserve or
obligation of confidence. Tliesr are free to nil who
may seek to know them, and if there was any occas
ion for their official promulgation, they would he
given to the country in a shape which nouo could
mistake or misconstrue.
It is perfectly well known in Washington, that the
President is employing every legitimate influence in
behalf of the bill. Tho enemies of the bill treat it as
■in Administration measure, and such, In truth, it is.
If any Southern Whig honestly distrusts the good
faith of President Pierce or his Cabinet in respect to
the hill, we suggest to him not to seek a satisfactory
solution of his doubts from tho Whig press, hut to
solicit the opinion of his representative on tho sub
ject. Or, if ho prefer to draw his information from n
higher source still, let him make inquiry of Edward
Everett, Truman Smith, Badger, or any other accred
ited leader of tho Whig party. We venture to say he
will get no doubtful or adverse response.
tVhlggrry In New Hampshire.
The following incident, reported in the Concord
Patriot, shows what sort of whiggery that is over
which our Democrat friends have triumphed in New
Hampshire. Wo hardly think that after reading it.
oar opponents in Georgia cau much regret the fate
which lately bcfel their brethren in tho Granite State :
Sad Wabtr ok Enthusiasm—On tho evening of
the election a large number of tho whigs of Concord
assembled at the Pbenix Hotel to rejoice over the
news of the victory which they hoped to receive. It
did not coine in as they hoped, and they began to
show signs of disappointment. But some one, for the
double purpose ot keeping up their spirits and en
couraging them to renewed activity on the morrow,
started the story that Jack Hale was elected in Do
ver. This news made them almost crazy with joy,
and they manifested it hy the most enthusiastic
ofteera. They at once hired a band of music, and
forming a procession, marched through the street in
ooistrous disorder, and halting in front of the Eagle,
they sent forth a series or most extravagant hurrahs.
They then marched up to Gass’ Hotel, in front of
which they gave another scries of tho same sort;
and thence to the Patriot office, in front of which
they spread themselves again in tho same st yle.—
They could not have manifested more joy if they
had received positive news of a complete victory in
the State at largo. But it turned out that Jack was
not bigoted! They had been cruelly hoaxed,and had
literally thrown away tho money they paid the band,
besides rolling ill the mud for nothing. Just think
of the Whigs ot Concord, including many w ho were
loud moutlied friends of Webster, making night hide
ous and themselves ridiculous with their obstreper
ous shouts of triumph over tho supposed elcctiou of
John P. Hale to the legislature!
Fillmore amt Pierce.
Mr. FUlmoru, who was u rial friend of the Com
promise of 1850, succeeded in carrying that measure
under circumstances of much greater difficulty and
embarrassment than those which surrounded Mr.
Pierce. This U a fact which cannot fail to elicit the
Inquiry—why is not Mr. Pierce able to do the smut*
with the Nebraska Bill ?—Savannah RrjndJiran.
Dot us see wliat answer can be mado to this inqiil
ry. The so called Compromise of 1 WO embraced four
measures, the adinUion of California, the uholition of
slavery In the District of Columbia, the dismember
ment of Texas and the Fugitive Slave Bill. Tho first
three were highly acceptable to the North ; it requit
ed therefore no great stretch of influence on the part
of Mr. Fillmohk, " who was their real friend," to
get Northern Whig votes for them. The only one of
the four which encountered Northern hostility com
parable to that which opposes the Nebraska UU, was
the Fugitive hlave Law. How tnauy of his Northern
Whig brethren in the Houso of Representatives did
PrcsIdcnt.FiLLMOBE'a influence! bring to its support?
Three at most! On tho other hand, how many of
President Piruck's Northern supporters voted in the
House the other way for the Nebraska hill ? Twenty
tight t So much for the Republican's comparison.
But did Mr. Fillmore procure even three votes for
the Fugitive Hluvo Bill ? Not he. So fur from it, he
hesitated alter it* possago whether he should not
veto it.
Come, neighbor, try again.
Vote In House of IteprcseiitMtlves.
The vote of 90, against it* reference to the Com
B&ittee of tho Whole, embraced twenty-eight votes
from the Free Klutes (not a single one <»/ which was
cast by a Wire), and tho entire Southern vote in
tho House, with the exception of six Whigs and two
Democrat*, Thos. H. Benton, being one of the two.—
Macon Messenger (H’hig.)
Yet in tho faco of these fact*, to wit: that twenty-
eight Northern Pemocrut* and not ono Northern
Whig voted against referring to the Committee of
the Whole ; and three times as many Southern Whigs
as Democrat* voted for it, tho Savannah Republican
aud Columbus Enquirer have the brass to attempt to
hold tho Democratic administration responsible for
the unfortunate result! A case of cooler effrontery
than this, we venture to say was never reported. Wo
chalicngo the world to beat it.
Savannah Hotic—Wo take great pleasure In an
nouncing that tbo plan of our fellow townsmen,
Messrs. Skull A Fay, has been accepted hy the Di
rectors of tho Savannah Hotel Company, and that
the buildiug will bo put in a train of erection at an
early day. Messrs. Lbb A Jones, and Messrs. White
A Walker, of Charleston, were competitors for tho
model—but tho prize lias been honorably carried off
by the lint named gentlemen.
Comkittkd.—The slave Washington, reported In
onr last as arrested under tho charge of having mur
dered another slave—George—was brought np yt»u*r
day afternoon before Justices Ruhhei.i., Habt, and
Rebuy for examination. Eight witnesses were ox-
umiuod, two of whom stated that they *aw I Cash-
ingDm stab Otorgt with the knife produced in court.
He was committed for trial at the May terra of tho
Hupcrior Court.
At tho examination, Messrs. Harden A Lawton
appeared for tho State and Lloyd and Owens for
the defence.
The negro slave woman Anika, who was arrest
ed by the City Marshal, was on yesterday delivered
to her owner, Mrs. Ckansoaw, of Columbus, who Is
now on her way homo. _____

The Woahlngteo eerreapoDdent of tho Now York

" Ths oatl-Nebraska men fed more and more coo
fldent of defeating tho bill. But It la not to ba dis-
gftlfccd that they have fearful odds against them. Tho

Those members are all decided and ultra In fovor of

Mr. Cuttino. This affair la much to be regretted—
The Hhouae of Representatives does not probably
contain two men of higher character or finer talents.
Fuuitive Slave Excitement.—A dispatch dated
Auburn, N. Y., March 27, says that for several days
past there haa been considerable excitement iu that
place, in consequence of a supposed design by the
owner of a fugitive slnvo, whoso term of sentence
for burglary was about to expire, to claim him and
carry him off to South Carolina. His name Is George
Washington. On tbo 20th he was discharged from
prison, and a crowd of ubout three hundred persons
having assembled in front of the prison, a number of
colored men took him in charge aud marched off.—
There was no attempt made to arrest him, and, con
sequently, there was no disturbance.
The Lsle tVm. 1*. Duval.
At a session of the Circuit Court of Middle Flori
da. heldnt Tallahassee, on Friday, tho 24th March,
1854, the following nroceedings occurred s
Tho Hou. L. A. Thompson, a member of tho Bar,
rose and announced to the Court the recent death of
William 1*. Duval, late % Judge a*id Govern**** *«
Florida, and moved !»,•*. mj the memory
of the deceased.M’** tt 'U our B» to afford the mem-
1m> ^- - •«£ Sir the opportunity to take suitable mea
sures on the occasion, to which request bis Honor the
Judge promptly assented.
Whereupon a meeting of the Bar was at once con
vened. the Hon. Thomas Randall being called to the
Chair, and D. I*. Hogue being appointed Secretary.
On motion, a committee consisting of Medicus A.
1/ong, L. A. Thompson and James T. Archer, Esq’rs.,
was then appointed by the Chairman to draft and pre
sent appropriate resolutions to an adjourned meeting
of thu liar, to he held to-morrow, at the court house,
at 9 o’clock.
From the report of tho committee, wc copy the fol
lowing eloqueutand truthful preamble:
Tho meinliers of the Bar of Middle Florida, in at
tendance upon tho present session of the Circuit
Court, in Tallahassee, have learned with profound
sorrow the recent death, in Washington City, of the
Hon. William P. Duval, lately their oldest profession
al associate.
li the possession, in an eminent degree, of many
of those characteristic* best calculated to inspire ad
miration ami regard—a warm heart, a liberal hand.
•• open as day to melting charity," a courteous and
affable demeanor, a hospitality as free as sunlight, a
boundless and inimmituhle humour, a clear, well
stored mind, and a copious and eloquent speech - if
all these united to commend the deceased to our per
sonal respect and friendship, it may as truly be said,
that he held even stronger claims upon the citizens
of Florida, on the score of substantial public service.
Governor Duval was one of tho first judicial mag
istrates appointed in Florida under the authority oi
the United States. As early as 1822 he was appoint
ed her tlret Governor, tinder tho act of Congress
erecting the two Florida* into n Territory ; and in
the crisis of her history as a frontier deuency swarm
ing with powerful and warlike trilies of savages, his
extraordinary influence over them, combined with
his tact and energy, wore very Instrumental in the
preservation of | eace. To the difficult task of main
taining amicable relations betwcen.antagonistic mecs,
with interests olten conflicting, he was peculiarly
fortunate in bringing thu full confidence of both, ami
sometimes his interference was characterized hy such
courage and address, as to shed lustre and distinction
upon an official career marked hy devotion to the
general welfare of the Territory.

Knglnml niul Itnaaln— 1 T he Murder of I’uul—
Nicholas,
The Eugllsh fleets huvu hut thrice passed the Sound
intent on hostile operations against Russia. The lirst
time was iu 1719. when Admiral Norris sailed to the
. attic with a squadron to aid the Swedes again* Pe
ter, who was carrying ou u war uguiust them of tlx*
most abominable character. There then occurred just
what we havo seen in the present dlsi* uk «. b"»R as
•i»» EnglM, •.«*«•* xneinselves to negotiations, the
|{ii.».*ians would not cease their ravages ; hut the mo
ment their fleet had joined that of Sweden, and Sir
John Norris was about, in the language of Lord Stair,
•' to drive tho Muscovites us far aa possible,” they re
called tholr fleet.
This act of intervention on the part of England, it
is proltuble, alone saved Sweden from being partition
ed hetwecu Hu.-cia and Denmark, alter which Den
mark, with her share of thu spoils, would have been
an easy prey to Russia. Who shall say that Russia
would not have been as omnipotent over the world nl
this moment as Rome was in the age of Augustus, had
not the English government in 1719 been one or sa
gacity and resolution? The world owes much to Lord
Stanhope for having thus acted. It is a " curious co
incidence ’’ that France and England were then uni
ted in an alliance, the existence of which more Ilian
once preserved the peace of Europe.
The second time was in 1727. This was in the
reign of Catherine I, widow and successor of Peter
t lie Great, hardly his inferior in talent, and his equal
in ambition, licentiousness, and every conceivable
form of meanness and villnny. She showed a strong
inclination to join Spain and Austria against France
and England, particularly hating the latter power
She desired to regain Sleswick for her son-in-law.—
An English fleet, under Admiral Wager, entered tlx*
Gulf of Finland, and the Russians fled to Cronstadl
and Ravael, and the empress’s death soon after, res
tored amicable relat ions between the two countries.—
Spain, then one of the great powers of Europe, liber
ally subsidized the Russian court.
Thu third time was in 1*01. The Czar Paul having
placed himself ut the head of armed maritime confed
eracy against England, that power despatched a licet
to the Baltic, which forced the passage of the Sound
on the 3utli March. and would have proceeded to net
against Russia hut fur the assassination of Paul
That event occurred on tho 23d of March ; and the
new Czar, Alexander, instantly came to terms with
NeNon, who had succeeded to the command of the
British fleet.
Since that time, although England was nominally
hostile to Russia after the treaty of Tilsit, and until
the commencement of the Russian war with France
in M2, hail crui**-rs iu and near the Baltic most part
of the live years that followed the Tilsit an uugenx-nt.
she sent no expedition against Russia. Though Swe
den was one ol the most upriglitof her allies, uixl ex
posed to great dangers from the connexion, England
docs not appear to have even thought of aiding her
to maintain her hold of Finland. A force half as
strong as that which was sent to seize the Danish
fleet, had it been ordered to the assistance of Sweden,
would most probably havo prevented the acquisition
of that country hy Russia.
Alexander,lor political reasons, was rather slow in
moving against Finland, though urged to seize it by
Napoleon, who wished to compromise him, and to
thoroughly Identify him with tho French imperial
system. Alexander then declared, with tears in Ids
eyes, that ho was forced by fear of Napoleon io take
Finland, and added, that he would not retain a single
village of it. Forty-six years have since passed away,
nixl Finland is still iu tlx* hands ol tlx* Czar, where
it Is likely to remain, unless the allies should be able
to wrench it from hint. As it Is tho only important
maritime province of the empire, it is not very likely
that the Russians will give it up easily.
Napoleon believed to his dying day, that England
wa* concerned in the murder of Paul, and the Muni-
U*ur, his organ, called attention to the connexion <>|
the passage of the Sound with the Czar's death. It
i* certain that Paul was slain by the anti French fac
tion, and equally certain that the event was most op
portune for tlx* advancement of English interests.—I
But such an action is not iu accordance with tlx*
English character, aud there is little occasion to look

The progress of summary regicide, by assassina
tion, bus been called the Magna Clinrtu of Russia I
hy eminent Rus-jans themselves, who havti coolly I
defended it as being superior to tbo civil worn and

powers enter tin* Baltic, destroy the Russian fleets,
Helsingfors and llcvul, and, advancing upon (Ton

truction, and tlx* empire with the loss of Finland, it

Biutisu Doctrine ok Citizenship—In the Vice
Chancellor's Court. England, Sir John Stewart re
cently decided that uu infant, horn itt New York,
wlxme mother was an American, and her father a
naturalized citizen of tho United .States, born in En
gland, is a subject of the crown of England ! Natu
ralisation, although it conferred the right ol nn
American citizen upon the father, did not ubsolvc
him from Ids duties, or deprive him "of his rights as
a British subject.” This is carrying the artogant
and absurd English doctrine of citizenship and alle
giance to a mast ridiculous extreme. Such a doc
trine would make British subjects of every native
born American of British extraction, for il it Is ap
plicable to one generation born here, it is applicable
to all succeeding generations. Those, therefore, who
have been priding themselves on lining true blue
" natives." will he amused to hear that by this deci
sion tli«*y are subjects of Great Britain, and nothing
hut " foreigners" uftcr all.—Phil. Ledger.
Curb ror Corns.—A correspondent of some paper
writes that a pint of alcohol poured in hi* boot* can
ed all his corns and callouses to peel off, leaving his
skin smooth aud soft.
Perhaps it did ; there is no telling what the stuff
might do. Wo have known it peel off tlx* coat, bat,
nixt boot*, and make the patient callous to everything
liko decency or self-respect; and we know men in
this city who have poured more than a hogshead of
alcohol in their boots without caring their corns,
though they got corned every day. Tho remedy may
Ik* a good one somewhere ; it won't do for this city.
Reside*, if it would, we should not like to recom
mend it after tho Maine Isiw went into operation,
because, if that idea prevailed, we should find an im
mense number of people with corns, and it would be
come a regular business for ono fellow to fill his bools
for others to empty at so much per bead. That would

4lr- Cutting replied to the remarks mado by Mr.
Breckenridge on Thursday last. Ho adverted to Ids
course tho other day In moving that the Senate Ne
braska bill bo committed to the Committee of the
Wliolo on tho stato'of tho Union, and said that at
that time In* gave his reasons for the set. add declared
that there was no gentleman on this floor who waa
to bo regarded as a stronger and more sealous advo
cate of the groat principle which the measure wa*
said to contuin—that of non-intervention—than he
was. Bat while ho distinctly assorted hla adhesion
to tills great oardinal principle, ho was equally trank
and candid in saying that the hill required amend
ment and discussion before it could receive that sup
port to which, in his opinion, it waa ontilled. in
making this motion he was not conscious of having
employed any language disrespectful to any member
of tlie House. More especially ho had no recollec
tion of having attempted to convey insinuations
ngainst thu moral honesty of any gentleman who dif
fered from him upon Hint occasion. After this sub
ject had been disposed of, nnd alter tho Inoso of some
twn days, a gentleman from u slaveholding State,
who had had no lot or parcel in Its discussion, as a
volunteer merely, came into the House, and thought
it not incompatible with his character as a leading
member to undertake to assail his motives; though
it was truo that ho disclaimed any intention of at
tacking them. Tho gentleman (Mr. Breckenridge)
camo luto the House, with concentrated wrath and
bitterness, to assail him for having, in his place, and
under his responsibility ns a member,stated his viowB
frankly ns to the direction thin trill ought to take—
The gentleman had charged hint with being n secret
enemy of tho hill, and, while professing friendship
for it, ns having taken a course which would end in
its destruction. When did the gentleman from Ken
tucky ever hear him say ho was friendly to the bill ?
The gentleman was present and heard him deduce
his opposition to it in the shape in which it came
from the Senate, and the belief that not only himself
hut a majority of the House would he found against
it. Had not the gentleman sufficient perspicuity of
understanding to know tho difference between the
principles involved in a measure nnd a hill which pro
fessed to carry them out? And when he (Mr. C.)
declared in this House, frankly and openly, before
the question on tho motion to commit was put. that
he was against the bill, hut in favor of the principles
which It professed to enact, how camo the gentleman
to undertake to declare that he (Mr.G.) had declared
himself a friend of the hill, against tne record,against
the re|torts that appeared everywhere ?
The gentleman had complained that hy tho motion
to commit he (Mr. C.) had consigned tho measure to
the tomb of the Cnpulcts. If this were so, and this
«ooin be brought before tho House,
why old the gentleman submit art hour's argument t<>
prove that it ought to pass? It was time wasted,
time thrown away, No gentleman acquainted with
the orders of the calendar could for a moment believe
that sending his hill to tho Committee of tho Whole
would prevent action on it this session. The gentle
man hud said that there were scores and scorces of
bills before it on the calendar. Now, wliat was the
(act ? There were some eighteen or nineteen hills and
resolutions, all told, large and small, of great nnd lit
tle degree, ahead ol it on the calender, including ap
propriation b'lls, which were subject to thu control of
Ways ami Means. Then why, with this fact staring
the gentleman in tho face, did the gentleman under
take, for the purpose of making an assault on him.
to declare that there were scores upon scores of bills
Is-fore this measure on the calendar? By wliat author
ity di'l the gentleman, who had nsupposed connexion
with tlx* Administration, complain of him, a friend
of the measure, or undertaking to send it to a tomb,
where there was a mountain piled upon it. for the
purpose of creating a (also impression in the public
mind?
For the course he had seen proper to pursue he had
been assailed in papers of this city, fonts of them, tho
Union, it was said, conducted by the Clerk or this
House,! and by other presses. How win it that lie,
a friend of the measure, had liecn selected as a victim
to drive off those who had given the principle their
support? Was it to assassinate the friends who had
stood with him on this subject?
Mr. Breckinridge. Does tho gentleman intend t>
apply that remark to mo ?
Mr. Cutting. Not unless yon consider yourself a
portion of the Union newspaper.
Mr. Breckinridge. I was at that moment taking
a note and heard the word. I would ask whether the
gentleman applied the remark to mu ?
Mr.Cutting. 1 did not. I nm the only ono charg
ed with Mug an assassin.
He had been subject to the continual attacks of
New York papers, which, while opposing this meas
ure, were enjoying tho patrongc of t:se Administra
tion.
In the course of his remarks lie said that there wa*
hut one -ingle ground upon which the Democracy of
the North could stand, ami tlint was the principle of
non-intervention. If this wits found iu tlx* hill lie
should vote lor it; nnd tho reason why ho wished it
referred was for the purpose of examining into the
matter, that there might be a di-tinct aud plain uu
d-Tstauding between the different sections of the
country as to the character «»r the act, so that there
might be no misunderstanding upon the subject of
tho principles contained in it.
Mr. Breckinridge said that lie hnd forborne to in
terrupt the gentlemen ; but whilst his remarks were
fresh in his mind lie wished to reply.
Mr Cutting yielded, aud no objection was mado to
Mr. B.’s proceeding.
Mr. Breckinhridge said that lie hnd listened to the
gentleman from Now York, who had not met a single
position which he took the other day. He had been
anmzed nt the man -cr in which a man of intellectu
al ingenuity had twisted nnd distorted words aud
opinions out ol tlx-ir proper connexion.
Ho explained that the reason why lie permitted
two days to elapse before he replied to the gentleman
was because the gentleman himself, after muking his
speech the other day o» the motion to commit, put
down the hatchway of the previous question, ao that
he was denied nn opportunity of responding to him.
Hu had said, and lie now repeated, th.it with the
gentleman's motives he had nothing to do ; he had
made nor should make no attack upon them. When
lie spoke of the movement of the gentlcinnu,he char
acterized it us ono the ellcctof which would he to kill
the bill, and he said that, after the question was de
cided, lie was surrounded by every abolitionist in the
hall, and received their congratulations fertile con reel
lie hud pursued. He did not intend to charge the gen
tleman with intentionally playing the part of an as
sassin ; hut said, and could not take it buck, that the
act, to all intents, was liko throwing one arm around
it in triomlship, and stabbing it with the other—to
kill thu hill.
The gentleman from New York had said that there
were hut eighteen or nineteen hills before the Nebras
ka hill on the calendar.
Mi. English. There nrc fifty hills before the Senate
bill.
Mr. Cutting. Before the House bill 7
Mr. Breckinridge. I will nnil the gentleman to the
counter there. "Before the House hill," says lie?
" Why I give np that wc will never reach the .Sen
ate bill, hut we will reach the House hill.” But
did not the gentleman say that his object in moving
to commit the hill was that he might discuss the bill
and examine tho Badger proviso? And is not tlx*
Badger amendment contained in tho Senate bill?
Thus it would lie seen that the hill which the gentle
man moved to commit lor the purpose of cxumiuiug
into could not be reached.
The meaning of the gentleman's remarks about
the press was that he (Mr. B.) had acted in concert
with papers in this city to drive the gentlonian from
the support of tho bill. Was it not a low ambition
for a man to take a course against a measure because
another was for it? Did the gentleman suppose that
twenty Administrations could ever drive him (Mr.
B.) from his position? Even if tho Administration
were against tho hill he (Mr. It.) would go for it.—
They should never influence hint in thi-respect. Me
had no more connexion with the Administration
than any other gentleman on this floor.
The gentleman had said that he (Mr. II.) was the
last individual whom ho supposed would have mnde
an assault upon him, bccau-e in tlx* hour of his great
est need the Hards citme to his assistance. This in
nuendo was so deep that he could not understand it,
and therefore a*ked for nn explanation.
ilr. Cutting replied that lx* had been informed
that during the canvass iu Kentucky, it having been
intimated that tlx* gentleman's friends needed assist-
auce to accomplish hi* election, his friends in New
York made up a subscription of some $1,000. and
transmitted it to Kentucky, to be employed for the
benefit of the gentleman, who is now tho peer of
President* and Cabinet*. [Laughter.]
Mr. Breckinridge. And not only the peer of Pres
ident* nnd Cabim-ts, but the peer of tlx* gentleman
from New York, fully aud in every respect. [Ap
plause.]
Mr. Walsh believed that lie hud ns good a right to
speak for tilt! Hurds as any other gentleman upon
this floor. When (lie said) we onme here wc protest
ed against tlie Administration interfering in the local
affairs of the Jstate of New York, and now my col-
league slates that a portion of his constituents have
I•een guilty or the same interference in thu affairs of
the jteopte of Kentucky. [I^tughter.]
Mr. Cutting. Is that all thu gentleman from New
Y'ork rose for?
Mr. Walsh. That is all. I will bo on baud by and
hy,though.
Mr. Breckinridge, resuming, said that tho gentle
man should havo known the truth of wliat lie uttered
before ho pronounced it on this floor, lie (Mr. B.)
was not aware that any intimations were sent from
Kentucky that funds were needed to aid in ids elec
tion, nor was lie aware that they were received. Ho
did not undertake to say wliat the fact might be in
regard to wliat the gentleman hnd said, but lie had
no information whatever of that fact. He (Mr. B.)
camo here not by tlx* aid of money, but against tlx*
use of money. [Applause.] The gentleman could
not escape by any subtlety or by any ingenuity a
thorough and complete exposure ol any ingenious
device to which ho might resort for the purpose of
putting gentlemen in a fnhe position, and the sooner
lie stopped that gumo the better.
Mr. Cutting said that ho had given tho gentleman
an opportunity of indulging in one of the mo-t vio
lent. inflammatory, and personal assaults that had
ever been known on this floor; and he would ask
how could tlx* gentleman disclaim any attack upon
him when ho followed it np by d< c aring that his
(Mr. C.’s) intention and motive was to d.'stray a
measure tor which lie professed friendship V
Mr. Breckinridge a-k< d the g* ntlein.in to iiuiut
to the occasion when lx* made six h a remark.
Mr. Cutting summitted to the ro nmittec that the
whole tenor and scope of the speech "I th gcuteman
tram Kentucky wa. an attack upon Iris motives in
moving to commit the hill. It w;re in vain for the
gentleman to attempt t<> escape by disclaiming it:
the fact was lieforo the committee. But lie would
say to the gentleman that he scorned his imputation.
How dare the gentleman undertake to assert that lie
had professed friendship for the mxisnrc, with a view
to kill it, to assa-sinate it hy sending it to the bottom
or the calendar ? And then, when he said that the
Committee of tho Whole had under its control the
House hill upon this identical subject, which the
committee intended to take up, discuss, amend, and
report to the Houso, tho gentleman skulked behind
the Senate bill, which had b- en sent to the foot nt
the calendar I
Mr. Breckinridge. I oak tho gentleman to with
draw that lust word.
Mr. Cutting. I withdraw nothing. I have uttered
what I have said in answer to one of tbe most violent
wit-
Mr. Breckinridge. Then, when tbo gentleman says
I skulk, lx* says wliat is feise.
The Chair. The gentleman is not In order.
Mr. Cutting. I do noi intend upon ibis floor to an
swer tbo remark' which the gentleman from Ken
tucky ha* thought proper to employ. It belongs to
a different region. It l* not here that I will desecrate
my Bps with undertaking to retort in that manner.
Mr. O. then declared that in moving to commit tho
bill his object was to get it In such shape as would be
satisfactory to tho country, and put at rest the out
cries of fanaticism which now prevail throughout tbs
land.
Ho desired peace and harmony, and would suggest
to geutlemtn wbo were anxious for the passage of
tho hill that it was not the best mode of accomplish
ing their object hy assailing those who proclaimed
themselves favorable to Its principles nnd U* great
cardinal outlines. It seemed to him, if gentlemen
desired the success of the hill, it would answer a bet
ter purpose If they would turn their batteries upon
its enemies rather than attempt to destroy those who
were Us friends.
An Ankcdotk.—The question relating to tho pro
per costume or American Ambassadors at foreign
courts, has revived the following anecdote of Dr.
Franklin’s reception in Paris :
" When ho was appointed minister, ho mado his ap
pearance at court in the richest dress he could pro
cure on short notice at that time, A powdered wig
was an indispensable part of the court dress. There
was no time to make ono for I)r. Franklin, and his
head was so lurgo that no wig then In Paris would fit
him. He, however, procured ono, and went to court
in full dress, wigunu ull.
The Lord Chamberlain met him in the ante-room,
to iutroducc him to the King, who occupied an Inner
apartment. Upon seeing Dr. Franklin, tho Lord
Chuinberlniii Ik came convulsed witli laughter, and,
returning to tlx* King, said, '• I cannot introduce Dr.
Franklin, as it is impossible to see him without laugh
ing. He is in full court costume, but his powdered
wig is much too smnll for his head, and, as he pulls
it down behind, it cocks up before.”
" Lot the Doctor come in without his wig, then,"
snid the King, laughing. Frankliu stuffing his wig
into his cocked hut, strode into the apartmeut amidst
the merriment of the company.
Hens that Lay.—Eighty hens, belonging to C-apt.
Tlios. A. Norton, of Yarmouth, Mass., have laid dur
ing the year past, six hundred and thirty-seven doz
en eggs. At the average price of eggs, that would
Is? about one dollar and a quarter for each hen. Won
der if they are KlinnghuiH, und if tiny of them hatch
ed any chickens in the same time, ft Htrikcs us that
this is decidedly a profitable lot of hens. We wish
there were a few more of the same sort.
West Point Cadets.—The bill which the Senate
passed on tho 22nd, increases by sixty-two tho mini-
Ikt of cadet* to be appointed every four years, and
gives appointments to the Senators of their respec
tive States. At the present time the members of the
House alone have the right of selecting cadets.

Ct)TTON—Arrived since the 24 th instant- 9.600 bales Up
lands and 420 Sea Islands, of which 8.081 bales were by
Ruilmad. 1.616 bales by Augusta boats, nnd 420 Sea Ial
and* by Southern boats, wagons. Ac. Exported during the

cleared, n stock of 24.880 bales Uplands and 3,560 bales Sea
Islands, against 41,080 bales Uplands and 841 bales Sea Isl
ands at the same time last year.
Our review of the 24th instant closed on an unsettled
market. During tho past weok we have had no change
worthy of ootic > In demand or prices. The daily sales have
been In tho following order : Friday 478 halos, Saturday
882 bale*. Monday 1467 bales, Tuesday 710 bale*. Wednes
day 74 bales, and yesterday 104 bales. The arrivals from
Europe have been the Pacific, the Africa, and the Franklin,
but as they reported no material change In the Liverpool
market, they have had no effect on operations here. Hie
limited stock on our market and the deficiency in the ag
gregate receipts have doubtless had some effect in control-
