tinny persons came up; one of whom, named Juan
Autunia Difz, U alcalde or magistrate after Russel
had been seized struck him a severe blow on tho head
with a stick. Russel was immediately tikeu to his
bouse and received the attention of a surgeon, which
had become necessary from the severe injury from
ths blow. The wound inflicted by k m' on Pnredcs
proved to be very slight
The principle judge of the canton of Panama im

of his disabled state allowed to remain uuder guard

pained to observe that bis young bride was thoughtful
at limes, and appeared to suffer much from ennui!
Thinking this might be cm*cd by the absence of fe
male companions, Ik induced several young ladies, rel
atives, to make his bouse their home, in hopes thereby
to render her completely happy. This airangement
had not the desired effect. His beloved, fiiougb ap

The British Minister, iu his note of the 6th of De

and the principles avowed by the Secretary and the
Council of State of New Granada, and concludes by-
declaring that he has no other alternative left than to
inform tho admirals of tlie rejection of his demands
for satisfaction.
After tlie latter note had been sent, interview took
place between the Envoy and the Secretary, in which
ft would appear that the Envoy had inquired whether
the Congress could be immediately convened, and
whether, if so, its resolution would probably be favor-

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.
IN SENATE.
The Bill making approtirialionl for the Indian De
partment, and carrying into effect the Treaty stipula
tions with various Indian Tribes, lor their removal
West of the Mississippi, and the Bill to authorise the
President of the United States to cause a suitable
number of public vessels to cruise in the winter sea
son, on the coast, to afford such aid to navigators as
may bo considered necessary, were read a third time
ami passed.
The Chair having announced that Mr. Clay’s Land
Bill was reached on the calendar,
Mr. C. rose and said, that he really thought from the
various acts of the Executive Department nt the Gov
ernment, and what was going on here in the way of
making appropriations, there would not next year be
any surplus to distribute. Under the present state of.
things he did not intend to press this Bill at the present
Session, unless something unforeseen should happen
to make it necessary. lie moved to lay it on the ta
ble.
The Bill to alter and amend the several acts impo
sing duties on Imports, was again taken up for consid
eration.
February 24.
Mr. Davis having concluded his remarks against the
repeal of the duty on Salt, Mr. Benton spoke in favor
of reduction, and was followed by Mr. Calhoun, who
went at length into the Tariff and Compromise Acts,
and said with respect to the hitter, that the Senator
from New York (Mr. Wright) wished gentlemen from
tlie South to surrender the advantages they would have
by and by, and that was, tlmt they should vote so as to
affect the Compromise Bill. If Southern Senators
were to do that, they aid their constituents would lose
all tl e benefit* which they would derive by respecting
the Compromise, when the year 1842 should arrive.
He regarded this Bill as a mere bait in order to get tlie
Soutlqto yield the advantages which they have iu view.
He expressed his doubts as to whether the originators
ofthe Bill before the Senate were in earnest in bring
ing it foiwurd at so Ute a period of tlie Session, and
complained that there had been a great loss of time
from the period of in introduction to its being taken
up. [This remark was intended to apply to Mr.
Wright.] Mr. C. next spoke of the language that was
held at .various times ns to a surplus. Sometimes it
wts8aid that there would be a surplus, at another time
that there would be no surplus, and nt another that a
reduction should be nude. He knew not how to re
concile these inconsistmt stories.
Mr. Brown took occasion to remark on what he
deemed tlie extrnordinyy spectacle of witnessing 31 r.
Davis and Mr. Calhoun, the first a Tariff man, tlie o-
tber an Anti-Tariff mai, voting side by side on tips
Bill. Mr. B. spoke in rtrong terms against tlie Sena
tor from So. Ca. undertaking to represent the whole
South, by colling upon ail the Senators therefrom, ns
if they all really entertained thesamo opinion on this
subject os himself. He contended that there were
strong indications of sentiment iu the Northern Stales
now favorable to a reduction of the duties on importa
tions, and the South seeing that could not refuse to as
sist in making the reduction. Ho said that we now
saw Senators voting against any reduction who were
Anti.Tariff men, and those who were and are . Tariff
men voting in favor of a reduction. Mr. B. went
to say, that Mr. C. liad spoken harshly of Southern
Senators as to their course hero, but that there were
some individuals (alluding to Mr- C.) who were no'
be noticed in argument or any other way, and whose
notice he never desired nor regarded. Mr. B, said
Jackson, in 1612. $lal),000. The Amendment

Mr. Owen moved an Amendment, to give the Stat-

FROM SANTA MARTHA.
Capt. Prior, of tlie brig Spy, at Boston, from Santa
Martha, whence she sailed on the 21st Jan. states that
a flairs relative to the imprisonment of Mr. Russell, the
British Consul at Panama, had not been settled; that
the satisfaction demanded by the British Government,
viz: the immediate liberation of Mr. Russell, and in
demnity to that gentleman of J.1000, and the removal
front office of the judges who had acted on his trial,
had been peremptorily refused by the Government of
New Granada, mid consequently the latter Govern
ment were making great preparations of defence on
the seaboard. Owing to this state of things, business
was at a stand. -‘ It was the general opinion among
the natives, that the views of the British Government
in urging peremptorily sucl; terms of satisfaction, (Mr.
Turner, the British Minister nt Bogota, was directed
to go into no discussion on the subject,) were merely
to create a pretext to conquer and keep Panama,

earthquake, which occurred on the Oth instant
about 3o’cInck in the morning. Ir wns accompa

some elastic substance. Many person* were a-
wake out of their step and alarmed by the iitiusu,

oussupposed accidental causes. Those who were

tlie Tariff System, when he refused to vote tor a reduc
tion. He had seen again and again the ebullitions aud
hallucinations of that Senator expressed against every
jiarty. aud against almost all of those who liave been
the friends of the Tariff, and he must say that flie Ian
gunge was unmerited and unwarrantable.

Mr. Brown replied, flint it. was with the utmost con

Mr. Rives spoke against Mr. Calhoun’s calling upon
Senators from the Southern States to support him,
and took a totally different view of ihe matter, lied id
not consider that there was any bargain ns to the Com
promise Act, and that, therefore, the duties to a certain
extent could, if it it was deemed liecessaiy after 1842,
be kept on. Consequently the gentlemen from S C.
would only delude themselves, if they imagined tho
Tariff Party could not require, consistently, fliat du
ties should still be levied iu 1843.
Mr. Strange took much the same view of the sub
ject as his colleague (.Brown.)
Mr. Wright ni ide a few explanatory remarks rela

Mr. Davis made some explanatory remarks as to

plain and frank, for lie said that he wa* not bound by
any pledges. Therefore, the Senate knew what wc.*

deep a* the hearts of the people, anda sumnit (each,

ted, will rend in pieces tlie monument* of the Rep.
bu!ic ; and ho whn attempts to. introduce it is worthy
of the stern rebuke of this House. The gentleniau
frr m Massachusetts has uot only demanded flie judg
ment of the Houso on the right of slaves to |ietitiiiu,
but he has openly avowed and, inaintajqji d that n*Lt
pending this investigation. If it be an otieuce agai'mt
the majesty of the Constittition and the inviolable
rights of the States, he has not only presented Ami h
site to the House, but maintained the affirmative 8ir, |
deny it. The people whom I represent will deny it
wills the sword in one hand and flie Constitution in
the other. They will never conseut to participate in
the rouncils pf those who. sanction it. Withsnrha
principle engrafted on vour Constitution they cnsld
never ratify it. Nay, sir, tlie attempt to engraft it
would have dissolved the convention which formed it.
x\re slaves included iuthc descriptions.of the “iie iplr
ofthe United Stites," in the preamble of the C'ontti-
tutinn? Look at the verV nature of representatht
government, i It is hut a substitute or a pure democti-
cry, or an assembly ofthe people in their personal toe
ereign character. Slaves are from the nature of their
condition, excluded from such an assembly. The*
cr.n acquire no property, liavo no civil rights in tie
courts of justice, and cau not be permitted tbe elective
franchise. They cannot influence the public deliben-
tions. They can have r.q greater claim upon a rep
resentative assembly. The doctrine is both theurr-
tirally absurd. It is contradicted by every principle
of public law; it is incaple of being tortured from tit
Constitution, and is totally irreeminleab'e with Unad
mitted relation of matter and slave, consemporaneoui
with tl-e formation of the Government. Put into the
hands of flic gentleman from Massachusetts such a
trident, and he could*, at his pleasure, call up the bil
lows of discord, aud lash them into a storm which
wsuld shake the adamantine walls of Ute Republic
to their centre. With a petition froui slaves pending
in this hall, their weight might be thrown into the
scale under circumstaccs ino.-t appalling. Sir, ltwaoM
he the natural aitd inevitable result. But the gentle
man from Massachusetts has not attempted to present
a petition from them iircon-islcnt with right of#*-
ner. Sir, this is not the proper issue. The represen
tatives of the South will not be misled by 'he miser.,
hlc pretext. It is enough for them to know, flint tie
right of petition on the part of their slaves is ownlr
avowed upon this floor, and flie judgment ofthe Hm*
demanded upon tho question.
The details ofthe petition cannot vary the principle.
