Thu bodies of Stevens and Hazlett, the last of
tho Harper's Ferry conspirators execut and at
Charlestown a short while since, were interred at
Englewood, New Jersey,on Buuday, the funeral
services taking place ut the residence of Marcus
Spring, a Socialist, to which body tho deceased
belonged. Two clergymen made addresses justi
fying the a'-ts for which the men were hung, and
comparing them to Bishop Cranmer. Mrs. Fpring
read letters from Charlestown jail, iu which the
prisoners, when alive, thanked her that their
bodies were not to lie in a “land of chains.” An
India Rubber ring attached by a ribbon to Bte
veue’ coat was taken ofl for his betrothed. About
a dozen person* only showed any active sympa
thy for the deceased, and but a small body even
oi the .Socialists were present at the ceremonies.
Legislature of New Jersey has passed
a law, and it has been signed by the Governor,
which in effect does away with the railroad mo
nopoly no long enjoyed l<y the Camden and Am
boy Company. It leave* some question* to he
decided by tbe Courts, and if Ihe constitutionali
ty of tho law is sustained, there will, no doubt,
soon be competing lines of railroad between Now
York und Pennsylvania.

Senate, on the 15rh tost., a resolution was adop

clarations substituted therefor.
Abolition Fraction vs. Abolition Prbcli*t
j —The Chicago Times aays that a large wholesale
I house in Chicago lately sent an agent into Mis
souri to look into the circumstances of one of their
| debtors in that State. The agent went, and
i shortly reported that the debtor hud nothing of
vulue, except a couple of negro children. His
employers were Republicans—every niun in their
house was n Republican—yet they wrote buck to
levy on the negro children, and hold them for the
debt. This was done, hut without effect, fur the
distressed debtor could not raise the funds. The
Republican firm tbcu wrote to the agent to have
the children sold to pay a debtofso.
Caleb Cushing evidently believes that the
dear people* are pretty learned, or else be means
to stun them by his remarkable vocabulary. In
his late Democratic speech in Connecticut he
said :
If that power, that fame or the Union is to he
prostrated, let it he in some long future genera
tion ; in thoda>sufthe senility and caducity of
the world; in the days of the corruption of the
corruption ofthe approaching cataclysm of the
universe.
.?r*r*A meeting to ratify the nomination of the
Hon. Andrew G. Curtin, for Governor, took place
in Philadelphia ou Saturday evening, at Concert
Hall, which was filled to overflowing, and a
rncuting was held outside. The great speech of
the occasion was that of Tmn Corwin, but
speeches were also delivered by James 11. Camp
bell, of .-"huylkill, Hon. Andrew G. Curtin, lion.
David Taggart,of Northumberland, and others.

James A. Kn% Kaq l >. i\ An Kleclor
It is with pride that wc notiee the pocitiim j
which our friend, Junius A. Fox, formerly of
this city, has with the democracy of the good j
old North Stato. The proceedings of the Demo
cratic Convention of the 7lh Congressional Dis ■ ,
trict, puldishotl in the Western Democrat fChar
lotte, N. C.l are before us, and we see that Mr.
Fox took a prominent part. This is gratifying
to his friend* iu thi State, many of whom in j
Columb s have heard hi* effort* before the bar, !
a* 8o ieitor of the Crimlnnl C. nrt. In the offi
cial proceeding* of the Convention above alluded
to, wc clip the following:
Mr. Fox. somewhat took the Convention by {
surprise with his eloquenoe. lie urged party i
organization as essontiul to success, and declared
his determination *o use bis eihirts to secure it.
He would siaml by party organ i-. at ton and parly ;
nominee*, lie reviewed the history of pollltcal \
parties in reference to Statannd National issues, ;
and showed that whilst the prvseut Opposition, >
through all its phases, had pursued a truckling, ‘
tinm-serviug policy, tho Democratic party had
ever been, and was now a purty of principle.
On motion of N. N. Fleming, Heap of Rowland, ;
the Convention then proceeded to the election of j
an Elector for tho District. The election remit- i
ed iu thu iipppointiuent of J. A. Fox, Esq., of
Mecklenburg.
We congratulate our friend upon his honors ’
and shall expect to hour of the applause thutfol- j
lows him on his canvass.
Spcocn union, li- M. 1. Burner
The speech of Hon, U. M. T- Hunter, on the {
invasion of tbu States, lately delivered in the
I nited State* Senate, says the Austin (Texas)
Stale Gazette, “in a calm and dispassionate re
view of the past and the present. Ho shows in j
broad relief that thu South exports S2OO,(M)U,(hiU j
annually : that she pays seven per cent, of this
value iu freight bills to the Northern shipping, i
and a third percent, on the return cargoes mak
ing about s2l ,Ut)U,UUO paid to the navigating in
terest of the North. He shows that, then- are
between three and four million* of Northern la
borers directly dependent upon thu commerce of
the South, and the stoppage of which would force 1
them to emigrate from the North or starve. Hu 1
concludes his able effort by declaring that if the i
Union is wrecked by the wild orgies of madmen j
and fanatics, that he docs not doubt the ability
of the South tc throw olf a yoke doubly accursed j
and galling for having been laid by band* that |
ought to be friendly, and to establish for them- ‘
selves a confederacy which may become and re- j
main great and glorious and free, and under i
whose shadow he may repose in peace and safety
for the remainder of his aay s allotted on earth.” j
The ClurleMon Platform
The New \ ork Day Book closes uu article, in
which it di*cu*e* squatter sovereignty, and the
position of Bon.it.ur Douglas, a* follow*:
The assumed doctrine of territorial sovereignty *
is absurd. Tbo jieopte of u territory have, of
course, tbu right of self-government, to legislate
ou all mutter* t<>uchiug alone their own intercuts,
but study cm have no right to legislate against
tbe rights, or hi contradiction to iho interests of |
citizens of sovereign Suites. Thus, were “ negro i
slavery” wrung and an evil, as held by the unti
alu.veryites, thu people of a territory have no right i
to introduce it.
Aud on the contrary, tho assumption, that |
diiuetiy or indirectly, by open, v might-lor ward j
action or stealthy indirection, thuy can rob aeit
zen of a Siwtu of bis property, invested in the i
person* of negro “slave*, ” mvo.ves a com radio- i
turn and absurdity that is discreditable to the 1
intelligence ut any man who entertains such no
tions. Can it bo, then, that a majority of north
eru voters are so ignorant, know so little of tbe j
relation of tlie territories hi tbe federal govern
inent, of the rights and duties of ciuzooship—in |
short, ure so incompetent to fulfil the functions of !
self government, a* to bo deluded into tho sup
port of “popular sovereignly,” when there is no !
popular sovereignty, or of a “ great principle,” ■
which, in truth, i nothing but a grout sham, a ;
dodge, a miserable pretense. No; the politicians ’
wit! delude themselves, not the people, and if j
these mistaken councils prevail ut Charleston, j
and the Cuu-innnti platform, “ pure and simple,” (
is laid down for IMMI, the party must be defeated j
eveu more overwhelmingly than in I MO. It
must necessarily be so, unless, indeed, the old ‘
federal doctrines of the popular ignorance and ‘
incapacity to govern themselves be true. And
what an awkward position thi* would place the
(South in ! Tho party having gone to tbe people j
oil a false issue, are defeated —the northern mass- !
cs, in utter ignorance of the consequences, have t
placed tbe unti-slaveryites in power, and the i
South, bound y the action of her representative* :
ut Charleston, is morally committed to accvp* 1
the result. On tbe contrary, if tie Charleston
convention {dace* the question openly and fairly |
before the Northern people, and compels those ;
who act with and speak ior the democratic party ‘
to stand squarely up to the issue, then if the par- {
ty is defeated, the South i* stiii in a communing
position—it may, if it think* the danger is pres- j
sing, refuse to recognize un anti slavery Execu j
live; or if it believes otherwise, and that a mighty ‘
reaction is really in progress at the North, con |
sent to trust its fortunes t<* that reaction. In ei
ther or any event, therefore, the South will be on !
sale ground; but if the Charleston convention, ■
misled by u clamor of weak and cowardly polili- !
cians, eon sent* to a “ compromise”—to barter
principle* for a supposed expediency—to aban
don equal rights lor squatter sovereignty—then,
while success would not bring victory, defeat may i
be fatal, aud thv Lniou itself go down with the
utterly wrecked Democracy.
Dp; Ilka und Tailudrga 11 all road-
We learn from the Daduville Banuer, that the
stockholders of this company, on the lUth inst.,
accepted the charter granted by the Legislature,
and elected the following gentlemen a* director*:
John It. Slaughter, John J. Holley,
8. L. Rainey, M. D. Slone,
E. F. Pearnon, W. G. Williams,
E. Hoiliee, IL B. Patrick,
M. J. Oliett.
John R. Blaughtcr, Esq., was then elected
Free ideal of the company. Bys the Time* :
The director* determined to locate tbe road-bed
as far as Y'oungville, in thi* county, seventeen
mile* west of thi* place, lud about forty-five miles
from Opelika, t which point they willdireat their
li rat effort* in building; after which they will
puh forward to a connection with the Helma road
Thu directors adjourned to meet again at thi*
place during our Circuit Court--which will Im.*
about the last of April—at which time it i* more
than probable thuy will determine to cominunoe
grading thu n ad.
The Timo* further states that the roadie al
ready located, marked and staked, from Opuliku
to Dadeviile. _
The Mexican Treaty. The all absorbing
question here, in that of Mexico, and judgiug from
the general fueling manifested in all quarter*,
and among all political parties, tbe ratification of
the Mexican treaty is sure, for the republican* see
clearly that it is the only remedy left to prevent
the oeqaiait on of more .Southern territory; for it
the event of tho treaty not being r tilled, forcible
occupation and acquisition of territory will be
tbe result. The steamship project of Col. Butter
field i* about to occupy the attention of Congress,
and, it is said, will be warmly supported. The
Nicaragua treaty will in ull probability be re
vived. We look for stirring time* here during
the next two weeks.
PanosEM of the Lynn Strike.—-Bouton,
March I6th. The strikes of i.yjua made a
great i urn out in procession to-day. n urn 1/e ring

double that number. Several hundred ban
ners were loriio by the strikers, Ik/ili male
and female, and tbo oily was decorated in
many place* with flag* and htreamer*. The
profeu'i-iou comprised, beside* ail the striker*
of Lynn, several military and fire companies,
with bands of music, and delegations of ladie*
from Bwampseott, Marblehead, Dnuver*,fcau
gu*, Reading, Stoneham, Woburn, Beverly,

delightful, and the proceeding* harmonious
and gratifying to the participators.
Focxd Dead. —The remains of a human be
ing was found a abort time since in w hat is
general )’ known as the •* Hudson Fond,” near
the line of Dougherty and Worth counties,
and from the circumstantial testimony before
the jury of inquest. (Coroner Wade presiding)
it is si'pposed that the deceased was drowned
by bis own act. The jury represent, from c.r
cuinstantial evidence, that the skeleton ia the
remains of a citizen of Putnam county, by the
name of John M. Daily. It bM been further
suggested that it was of recent occurrence,in
aMtiuch as the Pond was dry durm the pa t

(ILIMIUS. WEDNESDAY MAIMII 28, IMH)
Mexican Attain-- k V Cm.
lion. Samuel 8. Cox recently made a speech
on Mexican affairs iu the House of Hepresen
■ taLives. The position he took on the importance
; of ratifying the treaty with the Juarez Govern -
inont i* the only ground. Soil’ protection and
! national honor require that tho treaty shall be
j ratified, uml nothing should bo done on either
! side of the Rio Grande to peril it* ratification.—
i It we, he said, du not place Mexico ou the path
of progress hading to civilization, intelligence
and prosperity, its very corpse will poison and
taint our own atmosphere. Mexico was com
pletely in ruins—there was nothing left hut a
wreck. Wo have an international law which
would authorize us in suppressing such a govern
ment ns there is at the capital, and unless wo
soon intervene, there will ho nothing to save in
that wreck or ruin. Unless tho disturbance* on
the Rio Grande are soon calmed, tho next thing
wc may hear will bo Gen. Houston, with ten
thousand mini at hi* back, crossing over as the
[ defender and deliverer of Northern Mexico. If
ho does not-, the Knights of tho Golden Circle
will, numbering forty thousand men, bamlod to
gether with “hook* of steel,” be ready to be intro
duced upon the iuvitation of tho Liberal Govern
ment at Yoru Cruz.
speech of Mr furry, of Ala
The speech which, in its delivery, wo are in
formed, created the most profound senation, aud
which, when read, will challenge universal ad
miral ion—which rank* ii*author, at once, among
tho most distinguished orator* and statesmen in
the Union, is that delivered hy the above gentle
man on tho 14th inot., in the House of Repre
sentative*. We had thought that piovious dis

Wahihsgton, March 22.
i The seizure of tho Mexican vessels by Cummu-
I dote Turner, was not made under any special
! instruction* from hero bearing upon the conflict
i now going on in Mexico, but under the usage
: which prevails amongst nil nation*’ vessels. ‘J be
captured vessel* were sailing without a flag, und,
when requested in tho usual way to stop, by flr
-1 ing a gun across the bows, rep Led by firing into
’ the Ainuri’ an national ship. A* a matter of
’ course, such conduct was promptly punished by
! the capture of tbe vessels. From their conduct
j the Inference was strong that they were either
, filibusters or pirates, and as such it was tbo duty
j of the commander of the haratoga to overhaul
them. Iho seizure lias no connection whatever
with the present imbroglio in Mexico, and so the
| President will Inform Congress if called upon.
| The prisoners will probably be liberated by tho

, the neutrality laws, und did not kill any Auieri
-1 can citizen by first firing on the Indiarmla The
I government is determined, however, to demand of
Spain whether these vessels were fitted out in
| Havana, with the cognizance of the Hpsnish offi
j ends, for the purpose of interfering with .ur coin-
I merce. Unless t?pain can clear her skirls of this
complicity, it i* more than probable our neutral!

In order to give our reader! a olearor idea of
thu new stylus that nro coming in, wu shall l- j
.'oribo a fuW bouucts that were on exhibition yes
torday, and much admired. Iu Brown's wc were 1
attracted by n exquisite lmt of uhip and silk.— :
Round the elute chip passed au edging of the j
aiue material joined to it by a cording of green I
silk. The crown, which was soft and full, was !
made of green silk, covered with crape, through I
which tbe lustre of the silk gleamed in subdued j
beauty; rich white point luce full over tbu capo j
aud trout, and an ostrich feather, caught on one j
side by a coqucttbih looking bow ot uhip, swept t
across the hat and drooped, a* if weighed d..wu j
by ilsown luxuriant beauty, iu graceful profile I
siou on the other side, ending iu a downy tuft of
green marabout. Inside was lined with grcuu,
which served as a background for a glow ng crim
son rose wih black leave* amt two pule snowy
flowc: s that formed the face trimming. Another
of white chip and white silk, trimmed outside with
noli point lace and a long sweeping marabout j
feather, soil and white ns a snowllakc. aud inside j
w ith blue aud white china-asters nud bunches of !
white violets, scarcely yielded to it in beauty.— [
Another in the same establishment was so deli- |
cutely lovely that we cannot pass it ovor. The
material was lavender ciapc, und over it win dis- j
posed a diamond shaped network ol silken skoon, !
whoso snowy whiteness contrasted harmoniously !
wi h ihc vxquiite hue ol tbe principal material.
Round tho or wn and over tho cape passed a j
scarf of crape, puffed and caught in at intervals by ;
clasps of blonde. The inside trimming was com
posed of crape aud blonde, intermingled iu fan
like lbrms on one side, and on tho other large ,
white rose-. K und the edge ran a narrow ruche
ot blonde, which added beauty aud finish to tuu i
hat. Another of the tonne style, but of deep Ma- ;
gonta crimson, looked more brilliant but less j
lovely. Another very nehcrehc, stylish looking :
hat, chip front und lilac silk crown, eovojed with j
crape oI the same hue, ultracud grout attention, i
laee veil fell over the crown, bunches of |
purple grapes adorned tho outside, und under the !
brim were white china-asters aud a rich looking!
flower embe. Jdod in a bunch of leaves that resem
bled nothing so much as a moth's wing. The i
combination was at ouce odd asd effective. In !
the Same establishment we have seen ha's which
we venture to predict will be popular. Tho shape j
i* perfect, and tho whole has an air of simple elu j
gam* thut many would prefer to tho more stylish

are mixed some of black and while straw, und

of silk or crape. They are trimmed in a manner j

that was quite charming.
FLOW BUM.
As flowers enter so largely into all kind* of
trimmings this year, we have made some inqui
ries ou this subject, and examined tbe t lock of
one ofour largest importers. Flowers are used
for lints, hum!dresses, wreathes, boquots for the

We cannot begin to compote with the delicate
creations of French taste and French figure* To
such perfection has this branch of elegant iudii*
try ‘ ccn brought in France, that but for Ilia want
of fragrance it would be impossible to distinguish
the artificial from the real llowor, and in many
establishments even thi.- test cannot be applied,
the urtiticlal flowers being perfumed with tbe
> odor of thu natural ones. In Tucker'* we have
seen bed* of violets, as we may call tbe in, whose
fragrance oniy diderc-d ftom the natural ones iti
lacking the requisite intensity, the perfume grow
ing fainter in prop, rtion as the ll..woi* are han
dled. in this establishment we have seen bo
quote for bats mixed with straw, leaves aud ears
of corn, just reudy for arranging, bundle* of ex
quisitc moss roses and buds, the iiiosh with which
they were covered being natural ius* dried and
i preserved, hawthorn t lossoius which reminded
, ono of the fragrant hedgerows of the Old Court
| try, and poppies that whispered of the rustling
corn.
This season there appears to bo no favorite
j class among tbo flowers; exotics und wild flower*
Ire in equal dcinaud, and nil moo* hero on term*
lof equality. The mountain heather nestles be
j side tbo stately magnolia, and the liliy of tbo

parent stem, “vviili purple spikes pyramidal;”
speaks of (,'owpcr; that “woe modest crimson tip
pod flower,” * sacred to Bums, and yonder‘boat
of golden dufluddw* arc eloquent of Wordsworth.
Therein not a flower that lias not'flomu associa
tion conin’ ted with it, from thtf croon* and the
snow drop that speak of vernal showers, to the
white and delicate flower of the cotton plant that
suggests ideas of Southern plantations and Man

“Tbe whole question is again thrown into chaos

that word has been half spoken and hastily re- |

counts of thu approaching prize fight between
Keenan and Buyers. One of them give* the
opin on of the English fighter concerning the
American “champion,” a* follows :
“The English champion took a benefit at the
Ht. George’* Hall in London, on the 2Mb ulf.,
previous to going into active training at hi* fa

reudy to lay £SOO to £4OO on tho fight, and
though ho was at one time very desirous of see

had broken faith with him on u previous ocoision j
when he had appointed to meet bun at Owen
•Swift’s, and never came near the place, he now
did not care about seeing him until they met iu

claimed any personal feeling of ill-wili against
tbu American, and only hoped that they both
might be well on the day, so that neither might

The Field says :
“Both tbo champions have issued their silken

Tut- Nf.vv Tariff Bill. —Wo have already
printed some account of tho changes in the cus
tom* duties which are foreshadowed in the liill
reported in the House ,ron the Ways and Moans
Committee, and we gave further particular* of
the measure before. At the same time we only
assert a fact familiar to all who are acquainted
with tho machinery of polities, when we say that
this bill i* only a dodge of the republican leaders
to make capital for thu Bresidenlial campaign.—
The inureasu iu tho iron impost is intended a* a
sop to the Pennsylvanian interest, and the move
ment generally is gotten up aololy for the pur
pose of helping tho black republicans iu the North.
They do not expect tho bill to pass; probably
they will make no very strenuous efforts to bring
about such u oonsumution. Just before every
Bresidential election we always have a little su
gar lor tho founders, and a boa bon or two for the
Northern ma ufneturors. Tho new tariff act is n
little bit of Papa Sherman's confectionary, and is
intended a>’ a persuader to all good little boys to
come to tho republican sctioolliouse. After the
election the children will find themselves cheated
out of their nmdy, uml the tariff wi I remain un
touched till the next Presidential election, when
the farce will bo played over again with anew

Fatal Sinonso.—Wo regret to learn, says
the Montgomery Advertieer, that a little *• >n of
Mrs. Pierce, of Ibis city, *b<>t and killed u Mr.
Eason, (overseer of Col. Thomas J. Judge.) who
resided at tbe plantation of the latter, four miles
west of Montgomery. Tho circumstances of the
case were about a* follows . Mr*. Pierce’s sen
and another young gentleman of this city, having
lost a boat, found it in tho river in the rear af Mr.
Judge's plantation. Finding it locked, the hoys
proceeded to unfasten it the best way they could,
when Mr. Knsou rode up on horsebuek and In
dulged in some abusive language, whereupon
Mrs. Pierce * son raised K gun aud fired, the bird
shot taking effect in hi* side, nud almost instant

nate t oriirreiiee.
B|tccih of Mr. Mlgfall
The following is a condensed version of n
speech receutly delivered in the Senate of the
Lulled Status by Mr Wigfali, of Tmiiiv, the Home
stead Bill being under consideration. The read
er will recognize in it sentiments very different
from such n* wore wont to einenuto from Gen.
Houston, hu u’lsucccsgfiil competitor of the for
mer for the position of Senator. We much mis
take the verdict of the Southern people, if it doe*
not pronounce In favor of the change.
Mr. Wiglall, (dem.) of Texas, said ho could not
agree not to regard tin* as a party question. In
volving as it did the power of the government, it
must give rise to u party issue. Ft’ this govern
ment was elemosynary in its character—if it was
established to provide for the halt, blind, lame,
An.—it it would give land* to the landless, why
nut niegers to the uiggerle**? It might reopen
thu African slave trade on missionary ground*,
and bring negroes bore to lie converted, lie al
ways dealt with thing* plainly and practically.—
The proposition was to give homes to the home
less. Now, if wo could give land*, why not give
money ? If they were to give lands, he should
propose to give each man one hundred mid sixty
dollars in cash, and pay him mileage to come
here; and if they were to give them these lands
he would propose to give them negroes to work
them : lie thought three would he enough—ono
woman, one man and a child—with tin- prospect
of a large increase. (Laughter.) Mr. Wiglall
then went into an examination of the powers of
tlic. federal govermneii . and contended that a*
the trustee ol the Sovereign States, it had no rigbt
to vote away their land*. In the course of hi* re
mark* hu said it is nonsense to tuD of a Htute
committing treason —the thing was impossible.—
IL owed allegiance to tho Btato of Texns, which,
conjointly with the other States, exercised the
same portion of the Hovereign power. Whenever
she declared tbo federal government no longer
her agent, then it. would he his duty to return to
hi* .State, and if he should lie captured lighting
under the flag ol the “Lone Star,” under iho law
f nations ho could not be treated a* a traitor.
Air. Johnson, of Tennessee, remarked that
there were precedent* for the policy proposed in
the bill.
Mr. Wigs-ill was sorry to hear any democrat
ruter to precedents. If they are accepted, bunks,
tariff*, internal improvements, and so forth, could
be justified. He then denounced tbe policy of
New England, which, by federal legislation, bud
got rich, und kept tho ollior section* poor, lie
thought nothing bolter could occur than u disso
lution of the Union. New England would then
bog the Kouth to come hack—her spindle* would
cease to turn, ami her whips rot at tho wharves—
hor sailors aud operatives turned out to starve,
would burn and steal. Jlc also drew a picture ot
a mob of deceived and infuriated people, bearing
•>n polos the heads of Seward and Hale. If these
mon only knew tho South was in e roost, they
would keep quiet. They wore n it tbe men to coin
their heurl’s blood into dincl.ju*. He deuied
that these were throats. Tbe day of furces has
gone by. Il would speak hi* mind freely, and
say that bo believed no black republic*!! ever
(-(mid be inaugurated President. Northern men
talked of .-übduing the South, but he believed a
Southern army would winter m Boston before a
Northern one could reach Texns. Ho would like
to know how they were going to take tho South.
Let them look around the chamber, and they
would sue on the republican side but one mun
who ever Haw tho flashing of a gun, while ho
partico lari i zed uu tubers on the democratic side
who bud rendered signal military services The
military chest wkh tbu first matter of considera
tion iu war, and where would tho north get tho
money to fill it? The 8* uth could send out her
cotton, tobacco, Ac., in thu bottom* rimt would
carry them the cheapest. Where would the
Senator from Rhode Dund I Simmon*; gut tbu
money for hi* cal icq? They might talk of block
ading the Southern ports, but their officer* ut.d
mon would want money: ami where could thc
get it? Cotton was king, and without it Qnueu
Victoria'* crown wo* not safe. The Union was
nothing more than aconitine! between cuufoder
ate*, which the North hud broken and then tried
to porsuude u* that it wu* of divine origin. Our
forefathers shed their blood not for this Union
but fur liberty. He compared the federal Gov
ernment to a lon* which concentrated aud applied

not iho lens, but the glorious orb from which it
derived it* power The ancestor* of New Knglan
dors went, to Holland; but as tbo Dutch would
not lot them persecute anybody, they came to the
| North —they drove out Roger Sbnuan and the
Baptist*, ami spread themselves over that couu
! try. Providence having macadamized that
country, th y thought it useless to dig for what
tho Moil could produce, and have tim-n lived off
their neighbors. IL- went into uu argument to
show that the slave Status, properly speaking,nro

Mr. Wigfali—That’s a personal affair between
tho Senator fr* in New Hampshire and Cicero.—
(Great laughter.) Mr. Wig all continued for suuiu
time in the same strain, denouncing the Home

AFFAIRS ON THE RIO GRANDE.
Official despatches show thut, apart from the
direct followers of Cortinns, tbe Mexican* have
endeavored to retard rather than encourage bis
! forays. The people of TaunittUpas were much
ularmcd and tearful of an invasion by the Tex
ans, of which, however, there is no probability.
THE HANKRI-PT BILL.
The Senate Judiciary Committee have taken
no definitive action in regard to the bankrupt
bill They have postponed action upon it fora
week or twi , to give them time to bring forward
mua.surc* that will meet the requirement* of those
uieri ■ rious people who were struck down by the
revulsion in I Hos. A large majority of the com
mittee arc iu favor of a judicious bill.
THE PROPOSED CONFERENCE OF SOUTHERN STATKB.
The Representatives and Senators from the
State* of Alabama, Missiaaippi und South Caroli
na had their last conference yesterday. After a
free conversation, majority of them expre-sed
the opinion, in view of the two Conventions
which arc about to assemble, that it was inexpe
dient for tbe conference which was called to uivot
at Atlanta in June, and that it might with pro
priety be postponed until niter tbe Presidential
election. Jt was suggested, however, that the
three Governors might eoufer together, and if
they think proper to assemble u conference in
June, then the Governor of South Carolina might
assume the responsibility of appointing delegates
thereto, without assembling the Legisia.ure,
which had made no provision for tbe appoint,
inent. It is probable there will be no action to
k'-u until alter the Presidential election. If a
black republican should be elected there would
undoubtedly boa conference of all the Bouiborn
•States.

The .Senator* and members from Texas, to
gether with Geu. Forbes Britton, appeared before
the House Military Committee tu-Jay, and urged
with great vehemence tho appropriation of a
million and a quarter of dollars for the Tixus
mou ted regiment. The committee adjourned
uutil to-morrow, when tbe subject will bo aga.n
reuewed, and some definite action bo hud. The
impression prevails that they will decide adverse
ly to it, inasmuch us the Prcsidunt aud Secre
tary of War have neither of them recommended
it.

THE SAN JUAB NEGOTIATIONS.
Negotiations In regard to the Ban Juan affair
tire progressing slowly. The proportion recently
submitted to our government by Grert brituin
upon a basis which aho thought would he accept
able to the United States, by yieidiug our right
to the island, and fixing the boundury so as to
include other portions of her Majesty's territory
which we do not claim, but which are worthless,
Was replied to, and respectfully declined. Our
clear and undisputed right to the island was reit
erated. and, from good authority, 1 am informed
our government has no idea of yieidiug one iota
of Iteirfight to said island. What new lack En
gland will now pursue; the next mail from Eu
