tbo Senator from Louisiana to exprres ryraraUiy
with Cubans, who, be said, were ' panting for lib

Alabama, from JLantackr, will go la there; they,
will say t "The GoTornment bas bemeht it;";
and, as against a Cnbian, they will consider tht
it is preecopind and paid for' by them. The truth'
is, it is borediUry, or it bas been taught to them ;
- at any rate, it is in the Anglo-Saxon blood. Our1
people beJieve it b no barm to take away from a
. Spaniard or a Mexican or an Indian an jttrng b
has got, and they want; and they do not believe'
his homicide or murder to kill bimejther. Laugh
ter. What will bo done) by our adventurers
when they land there? Jot U be inAiTidioue, I
. ' will take my own Slate as an illirtralion. I will
svppose that three Kentuckins eo down to Cuba;
. one of tbom an old fellow, with a parcel of neU
rroea. "As Mr. Bachanan is going to buy Cuba
by sort'rf forced sale, witbuutnutkority of law,
warning off ali other bidders, this oki fellow would
mottle opob some Cuban,, hunt bin out, and take
. posse ation. He would then her in to survey and
dexoark for annexation some other man's planta
tkw. He would elbow him. browbeat him, and
' - frown at him : show him eowie-knivee and rvol
vers; knock hire do we with bb fbt, perhaps, and
stamp. oc him a little in" a place where be could
not be seen, so as to eecape the law. A man would
be inclined, naturally, under socb a prOoees, to riTS
up. There b a antimejt among cur roople that
tay beta aright to do that tb'ng. Tbey would
murder'; they would marry; or tbey would do
earth 'nr. in the world to get all that was going. ;
,Tbe other two yoong gentlemen, whom I ip
. pose to go down from Kentucky; areaonupleof
your gli busters elegant men, baring nothing to
-. lire npon and doinr. nothing, and nothing to do
anything npon. Laughter. j Tbey talk about
fjt bortea, about UA sbooUng, and abnutgnn-
ning, and they can shoot pptob. One of them will
get to be an overseer for a widow, end marry her,
anu te next year you would dad the rest of the
family dkiBbertted fLaaghter.1 The other, be
ing a reeaarkably spry and rood-looking fellow,
will ran away with sm old Cuban's dauehter;
be weald get inf tbo family,' and be would be
there but a little. time before the old man would
be in a corner of the plantation; and be in full
rxMsesfioerand with a good title. That b the way
it b to be Americanized, and the way tbey will go
on when tbey get there. . -
Why, sir, there b not a Spaniard now to be
found tn New Orleans; aad I have he n there and
perambulated over the whole city. .There i n t
one that I ever eaw in St. Louis, and I bve bem
. there two or three times. At, St. Augustine and
Fenaaoaln there are noon, The truth is, the Span
bb race get out of the wayof our raoa.; Tbey will
not remain in Cuba; tbey have too much inetiect
fortbat. Too jost put oat here in one of oar for
eeta, or on the plelne at i spring or lick, a lion
frona the torrid soon, and let a herd of bufiVIo see
. bim lasb bb sides with bb tail, and roar, and strike
down with a blow a hora, end break the back of an
. elk, and tbey will bave sense enough not togo back
there. Put down a tiger, and let bim, wjtb hie
lerce sweep, and bb yellow, glaring eyes, pounce
tn upon a gang of doer, and I venture to say they
will not be in that neighborhood, nor wi'biu
twenty miles of that place, ia forty days. Your
Cubans know, if they have any eenee, how this
.population hare been rooted out. I will given
familiar illustration tbat you can all understand,
and that I want the people in the country to un
derstand. We formerly bad about our barns in
Kentucky what we called the old-fathioned blue
. rat, and there are in thecntry swrrms of another
description of rats called the Norway rata, who
eat ap the blue rata. When the traveilinr. gangs
of the Norway rats iavade n barn, th blu rat
- camper for their lives, knowing that tbey mill be
, oaten up if they do not leave. Tbey are literally
Cubans "panting for liberty, and would also be
Cubans panting for fife under tbee rircumstanrn.

. ly and plainly. That b the rroceas by which the
Amoricanliation would

Mr. Prendent, ia reflectiBg on the proposition
of the Senator from New YorfcV lot on the spirit
of fllibuetering, X moat say a word oe two mo,e to
bim. Hern a men of eaoinest ability, and genial '
in, feeling. I do not think his election
, would be tusfadrit no breach of the togue
between the States. He is a eoostitutional man,
. and if be should be elected there most.be'some
vert act of oppression, or rebellion, or dereliction
from duty, before you could complain. My opin
tom k, that be is such a renerous-oearted man that
be would raiber lean towards the South, by way.
" of showing that he was impartial. But, sir, I do
not want bim to talk any more a boat that ganr of
A astral us and Netherlandmen and Irnhmen in
the Eocky Mountain, making bb Pactfo Bail-
- road, with the idea that that b going to work off
. the tUboeter spirit. It reminds me of an anecdote
I which I board, about a countrymen of my friend
from South Carolina. For the first time in his
Hfo be saw some mockers ; end from the agility
with which tney jumped from prong to prong
with nice little angers, be thought h would be the
grandest speculation in creation to train them to
notion picking, aad be got h for that purpose.
: A friend met him afterwards and asked him how
, be had made out. Pirst rata,'' aaid be, except
. that it took two overseers to watch each money."

1 know, Mr. Praaiieat, that it has been men.
ttoned often, lauebingly, that there has been a
belief tbat if nothing ebe, vour luck would kill
him; that you got everything you ever went
for, alt you wanted, and tbat if there was noth

a said that he only wanted to run for one
term, but Jackson talked that wy, and I ap
pose' Jackson was nearly as Arm a man, and
probably as thi re a man as Mr. Buchanan.
Of Mr. Bucbanani personally, I desire to say
nothing. Although General Jackson only wanted
one term, be was willing to serve another. Cseear
thrice put away the crown, and yet ha took it.
But beyond all bia'ory or example, I never knew
a Scotch man when be had got a grip npoo any
thiag aad had it ia hb grasp who would ever
let go, if it was a good thing, until death. He
will hold oa, unleas you - wrench it from bim;

- CLAT, nAJlbOLFH AS9 DOCOLAS.
.When I. was in politics, and I may say, when
I was alive, flauehter, and old man Clay bat
tled against the I-mocrvio party, lion-hearted
as he was, like Richard Cceur de Lion himself,
when be went into the Holv Land to rescue it
from the custody of the Indde's, Mr. Clav-, with
a lion's heart, and bit batUo-axe uplifted, fought
to rescue what he believed to be the Cons'itu
tion and the 'right of the country from the De
mocratic party, that be thought wss disloyal
end untrue to them ; then, air, I fought and felt
like a field marshal.
Well, sir, as to the Democratic party, I do
not know that I could very well join them un
less I see a little further , into them. I could
not be "a locofoco anyway; and I understand
tbat the discipline b extremely rigid Laugh
erj .
Tney master their men "with great severity, ac
cording to regular drill, and if a man does not
chalk up to the mark, overboard be goes; and the
rule is that it b better to bave an enemy out of
the camp than a friend cutting capers .and cutting
shinea. John Randolph, of Virginia, said of the
Democratic party but I will not say cf them
that all they wanted was men of sense, enough to
lead, and foob enough to follow, laughter, and
if any man could cot subscribe to these principles,
and went into the partv as a ' leader,, what had not
sense enough to lead, be ought to be turned out.
I believe you did cashier one or, two I do not
know what the seveiity of the discipline is. If I
ran get a privet cenreraation with my friend from
Illinob Mr. Douglas before I leave here, I
should like to know if he baa not learned some
thing on tbat subject. (Laughter . I wish, juot
privately and con'dentially, to know frorn him if
the discipline is not excessively tight. If I was to
go in 1 don't know upon what sort of a probation or
trial I should be put. I suppose it would be lone
enough to make them wtain that tbey had gotaU
the old genuine, gentlemanly Whig principles and
feelings out of me, and that I really bad the true
religion and was converfd. Then they might
pot me in the. kitchen of the household of the Lo
cofocos until they believed I was really a Chre
tien, and showed it -evidently. I do not know
how I should te treated. I think I shall look a
hitle further before I go in. -
T$ "BLOODY OLD BaCISXK" AXD HIS DOOS.
Mr. President try strength b failing me, but I
mim say something more. I utterlv condemn
thb rampant spirit and cry for war. It b a wrong
cry ; it fa a wrong teaching for the country ; and
I predict that if we r-t into a calamitous war with
France ad with. Enr'and on this account, e
shall repent it Uj the latest day of our lives. Do
not pass thb unpereesary bill, and insult a neigh
bor by this proposition, which b every way unad
vised an1 unca'led for. When you get into a war
you will find that fighting John Bull b not talk
ing. When Enr!and rent men herein the last
war, and burned tbb capi'ol, it was a mere by.
play for her. She was upholding all continental
Europe then, against the eolloefal power of.' Na
poleon ; and yet she came here just as a by-play,
av) troubled u a she did. Our peoplwtaink they
whipped England, and .we hear them say through
out to CHintrr that we whipped Wellington' in
vincible: and thev believe that we absolute! v
whipped the veterans who fought t .-battle of
Waterloo, although that battle was not fought un
til the 18th f June after the 8th of January, when
our battle of New Orleans was fought. .They are
rtufled up in vhat way, and inflamed with a war
spirit. -
Old John Bun, as I said, is a bloody old bruiser.
If the Senator from Georgia was here, I would
ask him if ha did not nee bow Spain and Sardinia
sent off their quota to the Crimean war, at the re
quest of England, although they had just about as
much interest in it as I had. England just said
to them, "if tou do not light on my side, I will
whip yon " That b the whole of it. Tbey follow
England in tat kind of way. John Bull, if I
may use a familiar illustration Ahat will be under
stood hi the country, b like a great unruly matiff,
a bull dog. Old Bull goes prowling about, hunt
ing op lights. Along Id hb train follow Caesar
and Pompey,) Jumper and Jupiter; end "though
the first two are Komans of high degree, and the
last a god, tbey follow in bb train with fear and S Rculpius left for Europe to complete his educa
trembling. When be nails a dog, they leg him, J tion. the aforesaid vows having ieen previously
and down tney ge mm unui 0e is throttled to :
ues-.u, .i.tt w.ri.11 wwu irofn me map ;
of the earth rr if after worry-.ng him and crip
pling him, and wounding him, they snd him
tome, it b in ain to work the I al nee of his days
to pay tbe expenses of the fight.
Well, sir, I do not know the Senator from Geor
gia's idea about ft, but I take it that in making
up a fight, there ought to be some sense about it,
as there b about anything else. There ought to
be some reason for jt. Now, sir, the United
Stales comparatively b a bull-terrier that s as
game as ten thousand lions, and superadded to bis
natural pluck, he bas the spirit of the seven devils
that were driven out of Mary Magdelen. Do yeu
turpose I would hbs him on tbat old bull, if I
thought anything of the dog? and I know I love
my country better than I could any dog. I do
not want to make up a fight of that kind.
Sir, these men who are so ready to talk about
fighting, very often are the last men to do it
Whenever I see a man out in a musterfield or in
a court yard, blueteriiig and talking about Jib
willingness to abed bb last droo of blood. I would
rather see somebody' who would be willing to shed
bb first drop.. Laughter. - If we get into this
war we must go through with it at all hazards, at
every expense, and at every loss. Our commerce,
our prorrera, everything would be loss and ruin
to us. We with our ioiufficient navy,, should be
utterly unable to cope with those two Powers.
Tbey do not seem inclined to fight us; tbey do not
want to fight us; they were willing to share fair
ly with us. ' I suppose the talk about fighting just
means thb. and no more; men know thatihere is
a deep-rooted popular sentiment of dulike, an in
veterate feeling f hatred towards England I
mean with the lower orders. It comes down tra
ditionally from our revolutionary war. It was
revived by the but war we had with her. It is a
safe thing in any ignorant crowd to curse Eng
land, and you will not find anybody of any party
who will not back ya. I suppose 1 1 b a popular
theme of declamation ; but I think it b time we
had quit it' I believe that b the prevailing, dom
inant feeling with tbe Ignorant portion of our
population.' Whether it. b just or unjust, t will
not pretend to say, but it b an element n tbe
American character ; an element like their igno
ring the rights of a Mexican ora Spaniard. It b
a feeling they have- -. ' Tbey hate a red coat and a
Britisher. Mr. Deltas and Lord Napier may
hare as many suppers and fasts as 'you please;
they may talk about the same language, and read
ing tie same Miltoa and the same Shakespeare
and ab-ut a common blood and fraternity and all
that Very well, that b just as nice as two ladies
who hate each other like the Devil, goasipping
very pleasantly over a tea table. Laughter.
THE nxaiDUrCT AXS rLaTTOXMe.
Mr. President, X believe I bave spoken nearly
to the extent of my strength and power to-day.
Tba honorable gentleman, from physical debility
bad been compelled to be seaed while he spoke.
I will not sk for a continuance to any other day.
because I know tbat the time of tbe Senate ii pre-
etoue. 1 can only say ia relation tn thia wLl.
protect, mat t will rearitate the muntrt nn h
ebverrquastion, thatitie,! tbink.rarj to
the spirit of our institutions to put money in tbe
President's pocket, I suppose to be aent to Madrid,
for Mr. Preston to use in an emergency. I think
it would be improper, unjust,- and ungenerous to
our successors, who are to ratify the treaty, to take
th's advantage of them. I think it is an unfair
way of negotiation. I think it will injure Louis
Una above all the States in tbe Union. ,1 think
that at thb time we ought to com pact and com
bine together, and build up and strengthen what
we have. We are young. Let the grfclle grow,
into the bone; let us get our muscles developed.
Let us cultivate the arts of peace, for "Peace bath
its victories, no less renowned than war." Tbat
would be my policy, and I hone Jt will be ibe
rtlicy enforced upon the President by Congress,
am going to look for some sensible man for the
next Presidency a sound man, I would rather
he bad, no platform ; I do not want to rub bim in
blinds. I confess to vou, that in my opinion, my
colleague (Mr. Crittenden) would, of all men .on
tbe face ot the earth, suit me the best. If you
will give him a chance, I will risk him upon my
personal confidence, without laying down a creed
of faith for bim to go by ; I do not want to stand
a man upon a platform, or run him in the blinds.
Besides, these platforms are all nonsense. Let
roe say to my frend, the Senator from New York,
if be should ever get to be President, I want aim
to recollect that thb platform business b all hum
bug; and when be gets in power to kick down the
ladder bv which he got there. " The two or three
but platform Presidents we have had, when they
got in the car of State and f afely seated, all around
everywhere, you could ee, "do not stand on the
platform when tbe cars are in motion." Laugh
ter. Tbat b the way they manage it. There b
always some emergency, or something to justify
a departure from it. Well, sir, I hopx I shall be
forgiven. I have been to four or five conventions
myself, on account of Mr. Clay, chiefly, and once,
I believe, on account cf my colleague, to keep him
out of a scrape of some sort, and I know a good
dral about them. - In the time I was in politics,
and we weri dominant, I always knew a longtime
before the convention came on who woald be Gov
ernor. It used to be said tbat you never could
know who was Governor until the election was
over ; but it was all fixed up all done in advance
I wish the country te get on prosperously and
peacefully, and gloriously, without any slavery ag
itation, v I want a man of sound heart and sound
head who will administer the government with
that view. I can say for mvself, as wss said by
the immortal Webtter, that 1 trust it will be one
and indivisible, now and forever ; and that the
God who overrules us and guides us now, as here
tofore, and as I hope for g to come, will so
shajie our ends that all will result in good. "
How to Kekp'thk Baby Qhjkt. Says Fan
ny Fern : - See. that the. mother has a contented
mind. That's the best recipe I know of. ; Always
meet her with that smile which the immortal
"Guide. to Wives" recommends them, under
mountain lord of perplexity and provocation, to '
keep on hand for their husbands. Don't imagine,
because borne looks cosy and comfortable wheu
you return to it at night, tbat it is well either
for the baby's sake, or its. mother's that you should
never take the latter out of it for relaxr tion and
fresh air. Oh, if you Nit knew bow a woman
love a man for occasionally thinking of th'se lit
tle things little to yon, great to us. I know it
b lees trouble, if your purse is we'l lined, to step
into a mi'liner's and order, borne a new bonnet,
which so many wives have wanted to throw out
of the ' window, for very bitterness of spirit, had
tbey dared. A bonnet I which your ostrich hus
band fancies will cover all his conjugal selfishness,
and sins of omission and commission. He bad
rather give her this than draw the boots on bis
slippered f$et after tea, and take the weary wife
and mother out for tbe fresh' air ; and then be
wonders why u tbe baby worries," and keeps boh
awake all night, and why its mother's eyes look
so rayleas, and why she heaves that little sigh
when he sits down to read hb newspaper: and
thn settles down to the comfortable- conclusion
that, "after all, there is t no understanding wo
men," and reads on." Sometime he says "Ah,"
or " Ob," or " by Jove ;" but nobody but himself
knows whether a steamboat is burned up, or fifty
people bave been made-m'nee-meat of by a rail,
road accident, or Bonner bas got another "illus
trious contributor," or the tail of the eordet has
stoUAed through the milky "way. He is too lazy
even to talk about it.
Now. " bonnets'' don't cure the heart-ache ;
and all the rings and bracelets you could toes into
a woman's lap, (I speak of a rrua woman,) are not
worth one clasp of your arms around her neck,
when you come home from your place o' business .
We don't tcant forcer to take it for granted you
lore u We' are demonstrative, we women.'
There b no need of your breaking your bsck to
pick up our banker-chief as you used, in the old
c-mrting times ; f heavens I how ypu stepped
around then !) neither do we want you, after
banging rp your coat in the ball, to sit down in
the parlor and cross your legs, without ever com
ing up stairs to giro us the return kins, which is
so patent to make us forget all. tbe little mosquito
stinging household annoyances, which are but a
feather's weight when our hearts are light and
happy ; for it b not wo-k, but worry, which
makes leaden hearts and footsteps.
Tec Last Romcb. Quite a romance in real
life, says tbe DetpHt Advertiser, was brought to a
happy termination in that city on the 9th inst
Seventeen years ago, a New York lass, lovely and
sweet sixteen, became enamored of a medical
sudent, and the pair exchanged rows of love and
eternal tMelity.
Two vean later th unfladrrMt
tenderly renewed. After a brief and gay sojourn
at 1'ans, tbe loving student domiciled himself in
one of the most renowned colleges of Madrid, and
applied himself to sober study. His letters to the
fair damsel be loved were frequent, but no fond
remembrances came in reply.
His epistles were intercepted and never reached
tbe fair one, while her words of love, intended for
lis delectation, met with the same misfortune.
The poor student, 'thwarted in his love; threw up
his studies, and for two long years coursed through .
Europe, seeking to whelm hb disappointment in '
the gayetiea and pleasures of toe different capi
tals. In the meantime the young lady, who wa
equally unhappy, removed to Detroit with br
mother. At the -end of bis two years' pilgrimage,
the student returned to America, but the idol of
bis heart bad left the scene of ber betrothal, and,
almost broken-hearted, he turned his steps io Cu
ba ; but the spiritpf unrest pursued him, and Tex
as and Mexico beheld bim still a rover, seeking to
drown memory by excitement.
A few months since, by one of those, singular '
occurrences which sometimes flauh across the
pathway of life, he heard that the lady was in '
Michigan, and quickly be wended hb way thither.
After a few weeks of diligent search,, the anxious
lover found hb Dulcinia at Ypsrlanti, and the
meeting which ensued tbe .twa'n having been
separated fifteen years b described as "affecting,
in the extreme." The tribulations of the now
mature lovers wee over, and on the 9th instant
they proceeded to Detroit, and were united in the
holy bonds of wedlock. Who says tbb b a pro
saic age? -

The Springfield correspondent of the Chicago
Tribune says that tbe honors of a seat in the Il

themselves at $14 a week a disproportion be

. The following, message wm transmitted from
the President of tbe United SUtea to' Congress
one-day last weeki " : ;- Z ' "; '' f
2b the Senate and House of Jteprtaenttieea :. '
'The brief period which remains of jou present
session, and the great urgency and importance of
legislative action, before its termination, for the
protection of American citizens and their proper-
ty whilst io transit across . tbe Isthmus routes be-
tween cir Atlantic and Pacific possession, render '
it my duty again to 'recall this subject co your ;
notice. I have heretofore presented it in my an- '
nual message, both of December, 1857 . and 1858,
to which I beg leave - to refer. In the latter I
stated that " the "executive .government of this
country, In its intercourse with foreign nations, b ,
limited to the emnlovment of diplomacy! alone, j
When thb faib it can proceed no further It can
not legitimately resort totorce without the direct
authority of Congress, except in resisting and re
pelling hostile attacks. It would have no authori
ty to enter the territories of Nicaragua, ven to
prevent the destruction of the-transit and protect
the lives and property of our own citizens on their
passage. It b true that on a sudden emergency
of thb character the President would direct any
armed force in the vicinity to march to their relief,
but in doing thb he would act upon his own re
sponsibility. - . , i ij ' ' "
"Under these circumstances, I earnestly re
cemmend to Congress tbe -passage of fen act au
thorizing the President under such restrictions as
they deem proper, to employ the land and naval
forces of the United Stafs in preventing the tran
sit from being obstructed or closed by lawless vio
lence, and in protecting the lives and property of
American citizens traveling thereupon, requiring
at the same time that these forces shall be with
drawn the moment the danger shall have passed
away. : Without such a provision our citizens will
be constantly exposed to interruption in their pro
gress and to lawless violence. ' ;
"A similar necessity exists for the passage of
such an act for the protection of the Panama and
Tehuantepec routes." . . '
Another subject, equally important commanded
the attention of the Senate at tbe last sessiou Of
Congress. ; -li i-; ' .
The republics south of the United States on this
continent have, unfortunately, been frequently in
a state of revolution and civil war ever since they
achieved their independence. .As one or the other
party bas prevailed and obtained possession of the
ports open to foreign commeree,T!they have seized
and eocfiscated American vessels) and their car
goes in an arbitrary and lawless planner, and ex
acted money from American alizens by forced
loans and other violent proceedings, to enable
them to carry on ho-tilitie. . The executive gov
ernments of Great Britain, France, and other coup -tries
possessing the war making' power can
prompty employ the neceasary;fmeans toenforce
immediate redress for similar Outrages upon their
subjects Not so the executive government of the
United J5tates. If the President orders, a vessel
of war to any of these ports to-demand prompt re
dress fcr outrages committed, ! the offending parties
are wejl awa-e that in case of refusal the comman
der can do no more than remonstrate. He can re
sort to no hostile act. The question must then be
referred to diplomacy, and iu many cases adequate
redrefs can never bei obtained. Thus American
citizens are deprived of tbe same protection, under
the flag of their country, which the. subjects of
other nations enjoy. The remedy for thb state of
things can only be supplied by Congress, since the
Constitution has confided to that body alone the
powerto make war. Without the authority of
Congress, tbe Executive cannot la wfully direct any
force, however near it may be to the scene of dif
ficulty to enterrth? the territory of Mexico, Nica
ragua, or New Granada, for tbe purpose of defend
ing the persons and property of American citizens,
even though they may be violently assailed whilsi
passing in peaceful transit over the Tehuantepec,
Nicaragua, or Panama routes. He cannot,' with
out trarmcending his constitutional power, direct a
gun to be fired, in to a port, or land a seaman or
marine to protect the lives of our countrymen on
shore, or to obtain re iress for a recent outrage on
the'r property. . The banditti which infest ur
neighboring republic of Mexico, alweys claiming
to belong-to one or other of the hostile parties
might make a sudden descent on Vera Cruz or
on tbe Tebauantopec route, and he would bave no
power to employ the force on shipboard in the
vicinity for their relief, either to prevent the plun
der of our merchants or, the destruction of the
transit. ' ... ,
In reference to countries where the local au
thorities are strong enough to enforce the laws,
the difficulty here indicated can seldom happen:
but where this b not the case and the local au?
thorities do not possess the will, to protect ourciti
zens within their limits, recent experience has
shown that tbe American Executive should itself
be authorized tn render this protection. Such
grant of authority, thus limited in its extent, could
in no just sense be regarded as a transfer of
tbe war-making power, to the .Executive, but onlv
as on appropriate exercise - of that power by the
body to wboai It exclusively belongs. The riot at
Panama in 1856, in which a great number of our
citizens lnet their liver, furnishes a pointed lllu-
e l . l v f c . l .
irauon oi me necessity wuica may arise ior me ex
ertion of this authority. ' r
I', therefore, earnestly recommend to Congress,
on whom the responsibility exclusively rests, to
pass a law before their adjournment, conferring
on the Jfresident tne power to protect tne uvea and
property of American citizens in thb eases wbi'ch
I have indicated, -under such restrictions and con
ditions as they may deem advisable. The know
ledge that such a Jaw exist would of itself, go far
to prevent the outrages which it is Intended to re
dress, and to render the employment of force un
necessary. . . ' r J '- - ; ; . : .
Without tbis tne president marine placed in a
painful position before the meeting of the next
Congress. ' In tbe present disturbed condition of
Mexico, and one pr more of the -other republic
south of us, no person can- foresee ' what occur
rences may take place before that period. In
case of emergency, our citizens, seeing that thev
do not enjoy the same protection with subjects; of
iLuropean governments, will have just cause to
complain. On the other hand, should the Exe
cutive interpose, and especially should the result
prove disastrous, and valuable lives be' lost, he
might subject himself to severe censure for having
assumed a power not confided to him by the Con
stitution. It is to guard against thb contingency
tbat I now appeal to Congress. . i ; '
Having thus recommended to Congress a mea
sure which I deem necessary and expedient for
the interer t and honor of the country, I leave the
whole subject to their wisdom and discretion.

Four Mkx to bk Hunq. The Governor of
Maryland has fixed the 18th of March for the ex
ecution of Peter Corrie, who will be hung at the
same time, and on the same gallows, with Gam-
brill, Cropps and Stephens. The death warrant
was read to Corrie on Monday; The Sun; says :
After the sheriff bad Concluded, the prisoner
remarked " Well. I knew my doom. - The Gov
ernor bas given us a very short day ; he ought to
have given ur longer tlme. iieiougnt to snow
that men brought up like we wer would require
a long time to get in the right way. It was like
taking up young mules, which require a long time
to break." The sheriff replied that as tbe, time
was short there was the greater necessity for mak
ing tbe best spiritual use of it. Corrie thn again
said : "the Governor ought to have given ns lon
ger time. After a few more words, in which
the sheriff told bim be would be made comfortable
while he had to live, the officers bid the condemn-,
ed man farewell and retired. While speaking.
Corrie's voice betrayed great emoiion, and be was
evidently agitated, and has a tearful dread of his
approaching fate. The hanging -of four men at
the same time, and on the same gallows; never, be-,
lore occurred in this city, : , . ' ; . , ;

REMARKS OF MR. WALKER,
i Or CHtEOEtt,
Delivered in the- Rome of Ormmons ' Feh. 16, Vn
" the Bill to establish a Bank at Murphy, N. C. ' '
Mb. Speaks e 1 do not intend to consume the
time of the House that would be necessary to show
the great necessity of tbe bill now before the
House.; I shall onlv try to show the House a few
of the reasons why I ask the passage of this bill
Mr. Speaker, there is not a Bank in Western
North Carolina west of Cbar'ptte except a branch
of tbe Baok of Cape Fear at Ashville, with a cap
ital of $ 150,000, and a branch of the Bank of the
State at Morganton, which is insufficient to furnish
a. circulation for the intermediate surrounding
country, leaving ; a distance of 140 miles "o the
Tennessee line without any banking facilities
whatever. ' Mr. Speaker, if there is any section of
North Carolina that b in, want of banking facili
ties it is the extreme west Tn the Section where
it b proposed to establish tbb bank,' there are sTx
copper mines in operation which pay;put monthly
from $12,000 "to, $14,000 which amounts in the'
course f the year to some million and a quarter
Of do'lars: All of this sum is. drawn from the
Tennessee and Georgia Banks. North Carolina
thus loses all thai exchange and revenue arising
from the banks issuing.! : There are 10 banks in
Tennessee and Georgia within 90 miles of where
thb bank is to be located? These banks furnish
the most of our j, paper money circulation in tbe
wrst, and the agent of these coppr mines draw
from these banks all the money necessary to carry
on thr-ir business. They eo to these banks and
give Ahem drafts on the banks of the Northern
cities, and get Tennessee and Gergia hills forthese
drafts. These banks are. thus furnished with a
large amount of exchange on the Northern cities
which is eold to our merchants at very hit h rates.
So our section is flooded with a currency that ?s
not bankable in pur banks, and vur sheriffs bave
to receive it in payment fr our taxes, and then
pay from I 'to 3 per centor North Carolina funds
with which to make their settlementi. '
Now, sir, nearly ail other sections of the State
havo banking facilities. Why not give this sec
tion the saniM advantages, and letus have a North .
Carolina instead of a TVnnesse currency? . The
capital stock of this bank is onh' 400,000, and I
hare no doubt but the section will sustain a bank.
This bill b very similawto tbe one which passed
this House yesterday chartering tbe Bank of C0111
merce. It is well rest-icted, and the country will
run no risk by its establishment or its issues. If
we are to hav0 a paper currency,, let us have one
of our own, and drive out f. the State the uncur
rent issues of tbe banks of other States, and thus
place the west., in this respect, on a equality with
the other portions of the State. aLet our own
State have the profits Sinstead of Tennessee and
Georgia, and furnish 4ir own people-with a cur
rency thatthey will notj sustain -a. Io.- on by ie
ceiving.it in payment'for thei produce. -
Having submitted someof the1 princrpal reasons
why I ask the passage of this bill, 1, shall not der
tain the House on this sulject any longer, but hope ;
the House will pass the bill.
