September 2d 1842 may not however be altogether out of place "But this bill this new 'Bill of Abominations is too oppressive to be borne It is not a Revenue bill but a Protective bill and it therefore

and I was surprised to see the advocates of strict construction particularly those who had been brought up at the feet uot of Gamaliel but of one much Thomas Jefferson the apostle of liberty Senators whom I had long known as Stale Rights Republicans of the'most strictest sect" now engaged in this work of destroying an express grant by construction That the fanciful daugers anticipated from assuming the power to admit Texas by Congress without first acquiring the territory by treaty would equally exist under the singular and arbitrary construction of our opponents i'or under that construction we can acquire Mexico to-day by treaty and to-morrow admit it iuto the Union by act of Congress with its miserable and heterogeneous population of Indians and negroes mulat-loes and mestazoes upon an equal footing with the other States Having now stated the prominent position taken in my remarks on the admission of Texas I avail myself of the occasion to explain a remark I made in reply to a question asked by Mr Crittenden in the course of his speech Referring to my remarks on the war-making power he inquired whether Congress because it had the exclusive power to make war could therefore make peace aud how this could be done I replied from my place "by disbanding the army aud navy" intending merely to show the absurdity of supposing that a war could in fact be continued against the will of the only power that could make and carry it on I will now explain how the war-making power can make peace Mr Crittenden and his associates in debate seem to have overlooked the fact that the war-making and lawmaking power includes the hole of the functionaries of the Treaty-making power except as many Senators as constitute the difference between a majority and two-thirds of the Senate that is to say eight members all told when the 52 Senators are all present With this remark I proceed to trace the usual process of making a Treaty of peace The President a branch of the war-making power and the sole depositary of all the positive and active functions of the treaty-making power appoints a minister with the consent of a majority of the Senate and without consulting the Senate sends him to the Court of the foreign belligerent with instructions aud full powers to make a treaty of peace The treaty is signed by the ministers of tha two powers and ratified by the foreign government upon which orders are despatched to the hostile armies and navies for a cessation of arms The treaty is brought to the States and submitted to the Senate for ratification In trre mean time Congress passes a law disbanding the army and navy but only a majority of the Senate can be induced to concur in the ratification of the treaty This state of things has been constitutionally produced by the functionaries of the war-making power and I ask are the United States at war or peace? The foreign power has formally ratified the treaty and the United Slates have substantially ratified it by the best of all pledges the constitutional act of the whole Government disbanding the army and navy yet it is contended that eight pertinacious and pugnacious Senators can keep the country in a state of war for an indefinite period exhibiting the strange anomaly of a war continued without armies or navies aud against the will of both parties Such are the consequences of arraying a small fraction of the Senate against the legislative power under the guise of a conservative power GEORGE McDUFFIE To the Editor of the Globe As my remarks a few- nights ago on the resolutions for admitting tlie Republic of Texas into the Union were imperfectly reported no doubt from the difficulty of iieariiigt where the reporters were seated and as tlie state of my health precludes the possibility of my writing out these remarks at I propose simply and distinctly to state some of the leading propositions I advanced ou that occasion which you will oblige me by publishing I commenced by stating that all the Senators who had spoken against the pending resolution had distinctly affirmed and laboriously argued that the trainers of the Constitution in granting to Congress the power to "admit new States iuto this Union" intended to limit that power to States "arising within the then existing territories of the United Stales and yet that every one of these Senators with the exception perhaps of the Senator from Massachusetts had as distinctly admitted throughout the remaining portion of their speeches that Louisiana Missouri and JArkansas were constitutionally admitted as States of this Union although they have arisen in territory tht then belonged to a foreign power That if this palpable and suicidal contradiction in which Senators seemed to forget at one end of their speeches what they had maintained at the other could be reconciled at all it must be by a process of logical reasoning and metaphysical requirement which might be ingenious but 1 must add ingenious beyond all omprehension That there was no "middle course" by which Senators could "reach the 'height of this great argument" hut that they must either admit that the power of Congress to "admit new States'" extended beyond the territory embraced in tlie limits oi the United Slates at the time the Constitution was adopted and had no limit but the discretion of Congress or they must be driven to the unavoidable alternative of affirming with the Senator from Massachusetts that all the combined departments of this Government were constitutionally incompetent to admit Louisiana Mis-sjuri and Aikansas into this Union and that there was no human power by which this could be rightful done but that which made tile Jr'edeial Constitution the consent of all the States given by that Mr Buchanan should be left free to clfose some more intimate fritnd to occupy those close aud confidential official relations witli him From the Richmond Enquirer of Thursday Mr Cailioun This distinguished gentleman reached Richmond in yesterday's cars He dined with some of his friends at the Exchange Hotel and spent the evening with one of his acquaintance He leaves the city to-day in the mid-day cars for his home in South Carolina We were happy to see Mr Calhoun in better health with excellent spirits aud blessed with great equanimity of temper and retiring with the most courteous feelings towards Mr Polk and his administration We rejoice to have met at the same table with Gen Lamar the Ex-President of Texas who is on his way to that Republic with the kindliest feeliugs towards the annexation of Texas We can entertain little doubt that Texas will come into the Union under the Resolution of the House of Representatives and thus the Pandora's box will be closed forever We understand that Mr Almonte's letter demanding his passports had been received by our government and that probably the first letter which Mr Buchanan had written as Secretary of State was in reply to Mr Almonte and that this letter does great credit to him in the new honors which he wears SAVANNAH March

copious Report of the very interesting Debate which took place in the Senate on Saturday last on the Tariff bill It occupies nearly one broadside of that journal but extensive as it is we shall attempt to lay it all before our readers as giving the views of different Senators and the reasons which compelled them to vote for the obnoxious measure and as shedding some light on their future course The Tariff bill received the votes of four Democrats viz Messrs Buchanan Sturgeon Wright and Williams (of Maine) Without their vote one or more of the Whigs who voted against the bill would have been compelled to show their true colors and vote ou the other side to save the bill If the vote of the Democrats had been withheld and the bill had failed we uiideretand that one of the Whigs who voted in the majority would have moved a re-consideration and then the bill would have enlisted more of the Whig votes in its behalf "The four Democrats voted for the bill with great reluctance Three of them (Bucrfanan Williams and Wright) with a protestando The full report in the Globe gives us their speeches They will be found extremely interesting Mr Buchanan assigns the alternatives between which he had to choose (the saving of the public lands the securing of a revenue to the Treasury without litigation with the merchants and the saving of certain manufacturing interests and the voting for a hill which he does uot approve for which he says he 'would not vote were it not for the unparalleled condition of the existing law the treasury and the country' a bill which he pronounces to be 'extravagant in the protection it affords and in some instances is altogether prohibitory') He 'accepts it now as much the least of two evils and looks forward with hope to better times for an adjustment of the Tariff on a scale more consonant with all the great and various interests of the Union without sections' "With every disposition in the world to treat with every liberality gentlemen who have hitherto distinguished themselves in the Democratic ranks yet we beg leave most respectfully to say that we shall hold them to the letter and sj irit of their averments that we shall never rest satisfied until this 'bill of abominations is expunged from the Statute Book or completely changed in its enactments and that we shall count upon Messrs Buchanan Sturgeon Wright and Williams to

last week the remission of sentence awarded to Captain Newton late of the Mi-souri by President Tyler The following notification from the Department sets forth the views by which the President was governed in his action Navy Department March 3d 1845 Sir The President of tlie United States has this day been pleased to remit the unexpired portion of the term of your suspension to which you were sentenced by a General Naval Court Martial in October last grjThe following is a copy of the endorsement by the President on the record in your case "An important principle having been settled in this case and the measure of punishment being altogether secondary in this the first case arising under the steam marine and considering that there is nothing implicating in the slighest degree the moral standing of Captain Newton I direct the residue of the punishmeuf to be remitted" You will accordingly consider yourself awaiting orders I am respectfully your obedient servant MASON Capt John Newton US Navy New York MONDAY MORNING March 17 1845 His name is Charles Sparkman Barker a native of Bath England an organ maker and thirty-five years old lie described the mechanism of the organ of Saint Eustache as contained in the lower story of the organ case and arranged in a sort of dark chamber where it is impossible to work without a light "The Saturday which preceded the event" said he "I had tuned the organ but pressed by time 1 had reserved for the following Monday some changes which I thought necessary to be made before Christmas On the afternoon of Doc 16 I went to the church with one of the workmen of our establishment Besides him I was accompanied by the man who has the care of the holy water who sometimes assists in blowing the bellows When I had entered the organ case I found I had need of a turning vice I sent my assistant to seek one at a neighboring church where I had other workmen employed in repairing an organ In the meantime I occupied myself with some repairs which could De made without the vice I was provided with a piece of candle which I had placed in a candlestick which I had brought from the workshop for the purpose" "The work 1 had to do consisted in drawing out some stops and replacing them by others in a part of the mechanism which is under my care To reach this part of the works I was obliged to lie down on a board placed across for this purpose Having found it necessary to work almost at the very level of the board and finding my light too high I took it out of the candlestick and placed it upon the board taking care to make it firm by some drops of the cold tallow In this position cramped as I was I drew out one of the stops of which I have spoken when I saw that it was about to fall from my hand I made a sudden motion to recover it in doing which I struck the caudle and knocked it down beneath the board through one of the holes by which it is on all sides surrounded- I saw by the light which it still gave that it was-in the midst of a series of weights surrounded by various pieces of the machinery" "Feeling the danger I spoke to the holy water keeper whom I have mentioned and begged him to get some water This person is aged and infirm I found it hard to make him understand me and when he did he said he did not know where to look for it He quitted his place however audi supposed he had gone to bring me some If I had had then a small quantity I am sure that the misfortune would not have happened I thought even that it would be possible to wait a few minutes I attempted in the first place to recover the candle which was still burning to succeed iu doing this I destroyed all those parts of the machinery which did not offer too much resistance but all my efforts did not enable me to within an arm's length of it I took my handkerchief and in burning my fingers attempted to' put out the fire which had already reached the weights I ought to add that I did not cease to cry fire and call for water I did it involuntarily for enclosed in the organ case no one could hear me Soon the fire spread into every part of the machinery and I was obliged to leave the place From the organ loft I perceived some persons who were in the church I called on them for help and I saw that they understood me for i i a few moments the fire men arrived but too late to save the instrument which was entirely consumed" It was proved on farther examination that Mr Barker had made use of the methods commonly employed by organ makers and consequently that no imprudence was to be attributed to him whereupon the prosecuting officer stopped all farther proceedings against him and the case was dismissed The Creeks and A Fight The Arkansas Intelligencer learns "through Mr Taylor a respectable merchant of the Creek nation that the Pawnee Mahas attacked about ten days since the Creeks who live upon Little River near the store of Mr Thomas Hazen The Creeks were attacked by the Pawnees but repulsed them after killing six of their warriors and without any loss on their side The Pawnees have returned to their homes upon the wild prairies for a reinforcement with which they have sworn to return and take revenge The scattering Creeks are removing from the exposed quarter to the denser settlements The Creeks were dancing round the scalps and our informant says were greatly excited An account of the affair has been transmitted to the Commanding Officer at Fort Gibson "This affray occurred in the country which was apportioned to the Seminoles by the late treaty and whither they are daily removing The Pawnees when they come back to fulfil theirthreat will find a 'troublesome customer' in Halleck Tus-te-nug-gee the Seminole chi and will be apt to lose 'plenty of scalp-' The Treasurer of the

time and the present that the quantity now received is much greater than it was in 1840 as the bales will average from one to two hundred pounds more than they did at that time The receipts for the

morning from Washington com Kepeal is now the word We must get back to From the "Washington Constitution I Florida The citizens of this beautiful country are in the midst ofBtheir rejoicings for their

of Louisiana peopled mainly by foreigners speaking a ditlerent language that would not more concl stvely justify the uduiission of Texas formerly pertaining to the United States and almost exclusively peopled by native-born citizens of the L'uited Siates speaking our language educated in the same schools worshipping at the same altars and imbued with the same political principles witli ourselves On the construction of the words "new States may be admitted by the Congress into this Union" it had beeu shown by Mr Buchanan and others that the proposition originally submitted to the Convention was "to admit new States lawfully arising within the limits of the United Stages" and that as the clause finally adopted contained no such limitation the inference was clear upon every sound principle of construction that no such limitation was intended In answer to this Mr Rives very ingeniously contended that ermont was then in a sort of rebellious attitude towards New York and that to avoid her exclusion upon the ground that she might not be regarded as a State lawfully arising within the United States the Convention gave up the whole of the clause originally proposed and adopted the clause as it now stands containing no limitation at all To this I replied that it was against every rule of rational construction to suppose that the Convention to get rid of one limitation had given up another ten times as important That if the object had been merely to meet the case of Vermont it would have been effected more naturally and easily by simply striking out the word lawfully'" and then the clause would have provided for the admission of "new States arising within the limits of the United States" expressly imposing a limitation upon the power of admitting new States which Senators on the other side of the House say the Convention intended though they deliberately abandoned the words that would have expressed that intention! That to suppose the convention intending this limitation had deliberately abandoned the clause containing it and substituted another as unlimited in its terms as it is clear and unequivocal would be to ascribe to that wise and patriotic assembly the folly and wickedness of creating in the Constitution an intentional mbiguity As to the treaty-making power I remarked that some Senators had devoted one-half of their speeches to the purpose of proving the power of making treaties exclusively belonged to the President and two-thirds of the Senate a self-evident proposition hich no body denied but had entirely overlooked the questions really involved What Js a treaty and wiiat are subjects exclusively embraced in the scope of the treaty-making power? That to assert that every compact with a foreign power was necessarily a treaty was to assume the proposition in controversy and in reference to the question before ihe Senate was precisely the reverse of the fact That the admission of Texas into the Union as necessarily involved the acquisition of the territory embraced in the limits of that Republic as the purchase of a mansion would involve the acquisition of the soil on which it stood: and that the compact we propose to make could not be constitutionally made by any power but that which can "admit new States into the and was any thing but a treaty In answer to the strange and incomprehensible assumption that Congress may constitutionally admit Texas into the Union provided the treaty-making power shall first acquire the territory I dented that the Constitution gave any color to a proposition so absurd and anomalous That even if this were simply a question of acquiring territory without admitting the State the Constitution does not assign that function either to the treaty-making or to the law-making power but leaves it to be accomplished by the one or the other according to circumstances That if indeed one branch of the Government had a preference over the other all the analogies of the Constitution gave that preference to Congress as being exclusively vested with the power of making war and conquests the most unusual mode of acquiring territory and of raising revenue and thereby providing the only means of acquiring territory in the only other mode to wit by purchase In the case of acquiring territory by conquest it is clearly and exclusively the act of the war-making power and Congress would proceed to organize a provincial municating the intelligence that the French Minister had waited

popularity here and the ability always evinced in the management of the interests of his Territory enabled him to do more for it than could have been achieved by any other man His constituents do mot know how much they owe him We can but hope that increasing" honors yet await him and that the citizens of that beautiful Territory which his patriotic exertions have so largely contributed to erect into a State will see the propriety aud advantage of continuing in their service a man who has already labored so ably and so successfully in building up and sustaining their best interests the spirit and principle of the Compromise Act to which the 'public faith' is pledged-and which was in '33 the 'Treaty of Amity and Peace' or the South never will be satisfied nevei! It isin vain that Senator White on the 27th August congratulates the Whig Committee of Philadelphia 'on the passage by both Houses of a permanent Tariff bill' Permanent it cannot be Permanent the revenues of the country wid not permit it to be Permanent the interests of the manufdctui ers themselves will not permit it to be Permanenr the interests of the agricultural and commercial interests the rights of the whole South will not suffer it to be Every thing forbids it except the factious purposes of the Clay Clique Vou Sir voted against the bill It was understood on all hands during the last campaign that Mr Polk was vehemently opposed to its iniquities He exclaimed it in his sp ech to the people of Madison and adjoining counties in April 1843 and declared that "the difference between the Federal and the Republican panics is whilst they are the advocates of Distribution and a Protective Tariff measures which we consider ruinous to the interests of the Planting States we have steadily and at all times opposed both I have no fear that Mr Polk will not carry out the pledges under which he was elec ted I cannot permit myself to doubt that you will discharge your duties with an eye to these considerations The subject however is as complicated in some of its aspects as it is important in others May I then respectfully suggestsir the propriety of collec ting information as soon as possible to assist you in guiding your coursel Mr McLane you recollect was the Secretary of the Treasury in 1832 The excitement was rising to its height in South Carolina Every body saw that something must be done to appease the public discontent Gen Jackson was the first to see it and determined as far as he could to relieve the people Congress was about to take up the subject A call was made upon the Secretary for a Tariff bill He replied at once Give me time and you shall have one The delay being granted Mr McLane addressed a Circular to gentlemen in the most important points of the country to obtain information on the trade and manufactures of all to ascertain what articles would admit of reduction-what duties should be im posed The mass of information he received in le-ply was extensive and valuable Upon this species of statistics he founded the bill afterwards called Verplanck's bill Mr being Chairman of the Committee on Finance It was the prospect of passing this bill by the force of Gen Jackson's name that alarmed Mr Clay into his celebrated Compromise Act celebrated not more for the solemn pledges which Mr (Jlay gave at the time jtlian the shameless treachery with which he has subsequently violated them But I submit a similar couras for your imitation The mass of answers to Mr McLane's Circular is now in your Department May I suggest to your consideration that you hunt them up examine them carefully and send forth a similar Circular to collect the same information to direct your own course and to enable you to report a similar bill with the mass of statistics on which it is founded to the next Congress? Thus you will proceed full information before you and Congress will act with more promptitude decision and wisdom A Friend to the Administration services which is calculated to make a very favo 4th do 25 do 30 rable impression upon the public mind I recognize in you one of the first champions who brought Gen Jackson to the public notice as a candidate for the Presidential chair I admire you especially for your devotion to the cause of Texas Upon that subject you have the highest claim upon the gratitude of the United States as well as of Texas If the Republic of the "Lone Star" voted you a statue in 1837 for your services in her cause no man will dispute your pretensions at the present time No man has done more for her than Robt Wal-ker no man has done more to bring her back into the Union not even excepting the Hero of the Hermitage himself no man better deserves your reward and lo you have it in part in the distin The New York True Sun says that the present wealth of Mr Astor is computed at $25000000 and is llearly increasing at the rate of abont 4 per cent nett Last year the city tax upon his real estate alone (including near 1600 building lots nearly all covered with houses) was over $34000 It was paid in three instalments each of about equal amounts sun rises 6k 5m sets 5ti 55m high water 1 Ih 41m PORT OF MARCH 17 to i ARRIVED YESTERDAY Ship Brutus Osgood Boston 12 dya- Ballast To the Master Line bark Como Mayo Boston 9 days Merchancize To Leland Brothers dc Co- Schr John Hancock Santiates Matanzas 7 daps Molasses To Cay Aveilhe The brig Arabian hence had arri-vep at Havana and cleared for Key West The shr A Brown had cleared for Galveston Left schr Exchange lo sail for Savannah on Ihe 1 Schr Fruitful Vine Nye Combahee 333f)bushels Rough Rice and 9 bales Cotton To II Ladsou Co and A Winthrop Schr Henry Middleton Stein Combahee 2S30 bushels Ron and 05 bbls clean Rice- To Colcock and Wilkes Schr Caroline Roberts Ashepoo £7tHJ bushels Rough Rice and 14 bales Cotton To Neyle Roper Fraser Co and Ingraham Webb Schr Heyward Morgan Gombahe 250 bbls Rioe To and Middleton Schr Prince Wiliiam Ramesden Pocotaligo 2600 bushels Rough Rice and 108 bales Cotton To JColcrckJH 5th has been explored only partially The following paragraphs from the St Louis Republican will explain what is known of these caves: "Gen James Hunt formerly of Trentou New Jersey has led the way in the discovery of the succession of caves in this lead since the commencement The last account we gave of him about a month ago he had just entered cave No 4 he has now made his way GO feet in No 5 and masses of Galena are the only hindrance to his further progress Before the two last caves were discovered this was considered the greatest lead ou record and now the prospects for the future seem to brighten as he advances "This lead runs about south thirty-five degrees east commencing about ten miles from Hillsborough the county seat for Jefferson county the lead being about 55 miles south of St Louis "It is owned by a company of a few individuals besides the General some of whom reside in this city" From the BeMarch 10 A Man Killed by an Elephant Wre learn by a gentleman who came passenger last evening on the steamer Princess from Baton Rouge that the large male elephant of Messrs Hopkins Co 's menagerie on Saturday morning killed the person who had been for some length of time employed to take charge of it It appears that the two elephants and a camel had been sent in advance of the other animals en route for Clinton the female elephant and the camel chained together When about four miles from Baton Rouge the male elephant refused to cross a' small ARRIVED ON SATUKDAV Br brig Janet Brown Plymouth (Eng) sailed 3d Feb Bailast To Fraser Co 9lh inst lat 27 30 long 73 20 spoke trig Czrado 9 days from Boston for Havana same daylafi?

As your friend and still more the friend of our country I sincerely wish you every success and every qualification which could belong to a Gallatin or a McLane I would warn you against too much

never rest satisfied with the act of '42 She has witheld her wrath because she has been plunged in all the excitement of a Presidential election She has been struggling to elect a President who would assist her in obtaining justice and relief No sooner did she succeed in this object than tho great controversy about Texas came on and though many of her sons demanded immediate action upon both these questionsyet it soon became obviousthat there was no time lo carry both objects at the late session of (Congress The Tariff admitted of more delay than Texas and to this last question there Maternal Affection The charms of woman are certainly many and powerful The expanding rose just bursting into beauty has an irresisiable bewitchingness the blooming bride led triumphantly to the hymeneal altar awakens admiration and interest and the blush of her cheek fills with delight but the charm of maternity is more sublime than all these Heaven has imprinted on the mothers face something beyond this world something which claims kindred with the skies the angelic smile the tender look its walking watchful eye which keeps the fond vigil over her slumbering babe These are objects which neither the pencil nor the chisel can touch which poetry fails to exalt which the moet eloquent tongue in vain would eulogize and of which all description becomes ineffective In the heart of man lies this lovely picture it lives in his sympathies it reigns in his affection his eye looks around in vainfor such another object on earth Maternity extatic sound! so twined around our hearts thai they must cease to throb ere we forgetl 'tis our first love tis part of our religion Nature has set the mother upon such a pinnacle that our infant eyes and arms are first uplifted to it we cling to it in manhood we almost worship it in old age He who can enter an apartment and behold the tender babe feeding on its mothers beauty nourished by the tide of life which flows through her generous veins without a pantingbosom and a grateful eye is no man but a monster treaty-making power the substance of the compact stipulated payment of a sum of money for a given extent of territory could only be performed by Congress which was exclusively invested with the power of raising and appropriating money That Mr Jefferson in the height of his popularity did not dare to purchase Louisiana until Congress had given its consent by appropriating a large sum of money under the disguise of secret service but notoriously to be applied to the purpose of making that great acquisition to the United States In answer to the doctrine advanced by most of the opponents of the resolution that the treaty-making power as designed by the Convention as a great conservative power against Congress I stated that it was a notion founded upon a total misconception of the checks and responsibilities of our Bystem of Government That the fpower of making treaties was not conferred upon the President and hs Senatorial council of advisers because they were supposed to be a safer depository of power but because the President being a single individualwas better qualified to conduct negotiations with the secrecy indispensable to success and the Senate being a small body could be more easily assembled In Steamer Gen Clinch from Mrs Tale ton Mrs Rosello Mrs Dimock Mrs Smith Miss Godfrey Mrs Damour Miss Cromwell Miss Gist and

Henderson Conington Damour Gardner VV Anderson A Lagin Waters Henry Hamet Keiffer Croat-well and Cromwell Correspondence of the Mercury WASHINGTON March 12th 1845 I come back and open the door just to say a single word as to my mistake in naming Mr Jones instead of Mr Mason as Attorney General in my account of the Cabinet Mr Mason's friends occasioned the mistake They said he would treat with scorn the offer of that place after being dismissed from the Navy Department I cannot suppose Mr Mason's friends misrepresented him and "I could and if I would" suggest to you why and how he came lo accept the place of Attorney General after all But n' importe he has accepted it and that is enough Mr Mason was a very good Van Buren man to the last in the late Presidential struggleand I told you at the opening of this sesnion he would beretaiued He had ever been faithful aud true to "the party" during the Administration of President Jackson and with Mr Polk voted for the Force Bill He certainly did not expect to lose his place any more than he liked it but then came the difficulty of retaining him or any other member of the old Cabinet and yet get-ing rid of Mr Calhsun They did contrive however to manoeuvre themselves out of that The silence of the Inaugural on the subject of a second term has led many to suppose that the President and his friends have changed their minds on that point since the election and that it the salvation of the country absolutely demands ft they may consent to hold office for eight years I shouldn't wonder if there is some truth in this I see intimations of the sort creeping into the "neutral" press Mr Calhoun has left Washington His leave taking was I understand very kindly on both sides For himself he of course could neither regret nor resent what has happened nor I for him It is not in the power of any President either to honor or dishonor him It was as an indication of its policy by the new Administration that I judged the matter Dridge the Keeper who was on loot procured a horse (one which the elephant was not accustomed to) for the purpose of driving it over and in attempting to mount the horse shyed aud threw the man in the road The elephant immediately rushed upon him caught him upon its tusks and threw him forty or fifty feet in the air which was repeated a great number of times the tusks frequently passing through his body It then carried the body from the road towards the woods tossing it in the air at intervals until it fell between two fallen trees which saved it from further violence The infuriated animal then returned to the road where the female elephant and camel had been chained to a tree by another keeper and rushed upon them his tusks passing through the camel knocking down the female and breaking the chain in two The raged animal then irade off towards the woods carrying the camel by its trunk and throwing it at intervals iu the air with its tusks The other portion of the caravan ndw coming to the bridge the elephant returned and made demonstrations of an attack upon it when fire arms were brought into requisition A number of shots were fired upon it but without any effect Word was then sent to the garrison and some thirty or forty of the soldiers were sent to despatch it with their muskets The neighbors also turned out with their rifles and shot guns and some fifty or sixty shots were fired into or rather upon him for the balls were frequently flattened up upon striking and fell to the ground At length it was determined upon to send to the garrison for a field piece to despatch him when onft of the keepers procuring a spear mounted a horse and succeeded in wounding the elephant until he caused it to scream with pain and finally to yield to subjection when it was driven off with the balance of the animals This is the same animal which killed one of its keepers some two or three years ago at Algiers opposite this city and was only stayed from further nischief after fourteen shots

law -making power or in any respect conservative That a bnef analysis of those two powers would show that when the Senate consisted of twenty-six memLers in every case of a conflict between Congress as the law-making power and this boasted treat y-maki lg power it was really a conflict between the II of Representatives coming directly from the people a majority of the Senate representing the States and the President representing both on the one band and a miserable fraction of four Senators on the other that being the precise difference between a majority and two-thirds of the Senate I stated that it was as dangerous to curtail an express grant of power by the refinements and subtleties of construction as to enlarge it as the same wand that could exorcise spirits could conjure them fore they ultimately concentrated all their exertions But Texas now carried you may expect the Tariff cause to be called up from the docket and the ablest advocates devoted to its prosecution Even South Carolina consented to waive her rights until the Presidency first and then Texas were decided South Carolina oppressed as she has been betrayed by a violation of the public faith as pledged in the Compromise actwas willing to pause for a time But you cannot expect her to slumber forever Virginia and all the South wilt unite with her in demanding justice at the hands of the next Congress I need not remind you Mr Walker that the present "bill of abominations" was the illeeitimate offspring of necessity The Treasury was impoverished and debt and the friends of Mr Clay refused to give any
