WiLLiAii Penn, who believed that Indians had aouls, treated them as human beinga, men and frienda. He never resorted to the petty ar¬ tifices of-.diplomacy, too often conaidered by some as perfectly justifiable. Such arts Penu viewed as exceedingly dishonest, and condemn. ed them as against conscience. In a letier to the aborigines, dated London, the 18th of the Sth month, 1 GSl, he thus addresses them, through his ccmmissionera,—* My Friends :—There is a greal God and power that hath made the world, and all things therein; to whom you and Ij and all people owe iheir being, and well-being; and to whom you and I must one day give an accDtmt for all that we do in the world. This great God has written his law in onr hearts, by which we are taught and command¬ ed to love, and help, and do good to one anoth¬ er. Now this great God hath been pleased to make nie concerned in your pnrt of the world ; and the king of the country, where I live, hath given me u great province therein ; but I desire lo enjoy it with your love and cousent j that we may always live together as neighbors and frienda; else what would the great God do to us, who hath made us, not to devour antl de¬ atroy one anoiher, but to live soberly and kindly togeiher in the world ? Now I woultl have you well observe, that I atn very sensible of the unkindncss and injustice that bave been too much exercised towards you, by the people of these parts of tho world, who have sought them¬ selves, and to make great atlvantages by you, rather than examples of goodness and patience unto you, which I hear hath been a matier of trouble to you. and caused great grudgings and animosities, sometimes to the shedding of blood, which hath made the great God angry. But I am not such a man,—as is well known in my own couniry. I have great love and regard towards you ; and desire lo win and gain your love and friendship, by a kind, just and peacea¬ ble life; and the people I send are of tbc same mind, and shall, in all things, behave them¬ selves accordingly ; and if, in any thing, nny shall ofTend you, or your people, you shall have a full and speedy satisfaciion for the same, by an equal number of just men, on both sides; that, by no means, you may have just occasion of being offended against them. I shall shortly come to you myself; at which time, wo may more largely nnd freely confer and discourse of these matters ; in the mean¬ time I have sent yon my commissionera to treat wilh you about land, and a firm league of peace ; let me desire you to be kind to them, and the people, and receive these prcsonts and tokens, which I have sent you, as a testimony of my good will to you, and my resolution to livc>/ijf/y, peaceably and friendly with you.'— Proud'3 Pa. I, 195- Penn's great mind was uniformly influenced in his intercourse with the Indians by the im¬ mutable principles of>«jft«,which every where, and for all purposes, must be regarded as fun¬ damental, if human efforts are by any means to be crowned with noble and permanent results. In his cerlain Conditiotis agreed upon by him and the first purchasers, full provision had been made, July Uth, 1651, to carry out, what Penn intimated in the above letier—* that an equal nnmber of just men on bolh sides should be se¬ lected ' to do thera justice. The article reads thus : ' That no man shall, by any way or means, in word or deed, affront or wrong any Indian, but fhall incur the same penalty of law as ifhe had committed it against hta fellow planter, nnd if any Indian shall abuse, in word or deot], any planter of iliis province, that he shall not be hi; own judge upon the Indian, but he shall make bis complaint to the Governor of the province, or his lieuienanr, or depuiy, or some inferior magistrate near him, who shall, to the utmosi of his power, take care with the king of Uic said Indian, that all reaonable satisfaction be made lo lhe said injured planter—that all differences, between the planters and the natives, shall also he ended by/toc/f-r men—by six planters and y.- Jtatives; that so we may live friendly to- ' ^'eii.*'', as mucli ns in ns lieib, preventing all occas ons af hearl burnings and mischiefs.^— Proiid's Pa. Ap. p. 4. Here is embodied the very essence of good government—Eijual Rights. In the articles of agreement of 1701, the same principlcB are de¬ veloped, and provisions mado for perpetual peace and good offices between the parties ; and so long as tbe government regarded these pro¬ visions, amicablo relations wero maintained with the natives :* To enablo him to fulfil his promise of protection to tbe Conostogoes, Shawaneso and Ganawese, ' wben last in the country, Penn visited those of Conostogoe, and Ilia son upon his arrival did the same, in order to cultivate lho ancient friendship between lhem, that Ue (tho son) and bia posterity might after bis faiber's example, maintain peace and a good understanding wiib ihem and ihejrs.'— Col. Ree. II, 253. Careful, as Penn was, to prevent * abuses put upon the Indians in trade,* a cerlain John Hans Steelman (Col. Ree. II, 16, 557) residing in Maryland, followed, as early as 1701, and without license, a close trade with the Indians of lhe province, not only at Conostogoe, but bad been endeavoring to settle a trade with them ai Lechay (Lehigh) on the Forks of tbe Delaware ' (Easton). For ibis temerity, Penn aent Henry Mallows to arrest bim and seize such of his goods as wore going to Lechay, and take security from him for such as he had sold at Ccnostogo.' Penn aubmitted the case to Messrs. Shippen, Carpenter, Story, Puaey, Ow¬ en and Pemberton, May 31, 1701, and it was decided, because Steelman lived in Maryland, * it will not appear so reasonable tooxercise the rigor of the law against hira ; but an effectual course should be taken to prevent such prac¬ tices and abuses for tbe fuiure, and tbat he be not permitted to proceed in violating the laws as hitherto j it was ordered, that for thc aaid reasons, and because the Indians complain against him for defrauding them, he be not permitted to trade any more till he has regular- iy obtained license for that purpose ; that his goods be restored, he giving a bond of one thousand pounds, that they, or their value ahall be forth coming if called for, and that he ahall observe ihe laws of this province, and the agreement now made with the Indians, to whieh be was a witness, (he was one o,f the witneases to tbe articles of agreement of April 23d, 1701, Prov. Ree. II, 12) and that he defray and sat¬ isfy Henry Mallow's charges in going for, and bringing him hither. Prov. Ree. II, 17, Penn's mode and measure of justice prescrib¬ ed for both whites and Indians, and hia inflexi¬ ble determination to matntaia the law, earned for him from the Indians much affection and eaicem. Shortly beforo his departure for Eng¬ land, * the Sachems of the Susquehannah and Shawahnese Indians, -with some of thoir peo- * At no point, perhaps, irill an episode be more fa- Torably viewed, in tho series offered, than here.— Tho fatal and devoted attachment, of Indiana, to ar¬ dent epirits haa ever been, and ia jet, a matter of melanoholyTiotoriety. .Words wonldiail to attempt to ponrtray' the effeets of it upon - the race—it IB on evil entailed npon tbeca by the irhitcfl.— BigoroQs measoiea should alwit^s hare been adopt¬ ed, to prevent the sale'of intoxitutiag- drink.

The GJovernor also informed tbem that tfce Assembly was now enacting a law, ac¬ cording to their desire, to prevent their being abused by the selling of rom, with wbich Oret- ^yogh, one of tbe Sachems, In the name of the rest, expressed a great satiafaction, and desired that, that law might effectually be put in exe¬ cution ; and, notoniy discoursed of as former¬ ly it had been ; they had long suffered by the practice ; bul now hoped for redress, and that they sbould hare reason to complain no more. ' And for tha more effeotually answering so good a design, the governor desired tbat when¬ ever any transgreiaed the said law, and came contrary amongst them, to agreement, ihey would forthwith give information thereof to the government, that the offenders might be duly prosecuted: which they promised to observe, and ihat if any rum were brought, they would not buy it; but send the peraon who brought it, back wilh it again. * Then the governor informed them, that he had charged the members of Council;— and, then also renewed the same charge, that they should, in all respecis, be kiod to them with alt courtesy and demonstration of good will, as he himaelf had ever dono; which the said members -promised faithfully to observe— and, making them somo presents, ths Indians withdrew/ Col. Ree. II, 42, 43. Among the Indians, malo and female are in¬ fatuated with the lovo of strong drink—ihey, like many of the white race, know no bounds to tlieir deaire, wbile they can swallow it down —they become so drunk, that the greatest of them acarce deserve the name of a decent brute. To have rum, they will agree to any thing.— An act was passed in the province of Penniylva¬ nia, prior to l6S4, that drunkenness, and the encouragement of drunkenness, should be chas¬ tised by fine and imprisonment.* So determin¬ ed were the Indians from Susquehanna and Schuylkill, that Penn yielded, on cerlain con¬ ditions, to their wishes. Atan Assembly held, at New Castle, May 20th, 1684, he informed the Council that he had called the Indians to¬ gether, and proposed to them to let tbem have rum, if they would be contented to be punish¬ ed as the English were, which they did agree to, provided that thc law of not selling them rum, be abolished.' Gordon^a Pa. 71, Col. Rte. 1,51. Since the whites have had intercourso witb the Indians, they love whisky—it is ever in their thoughts. In all llieir councils, and talks, and conferences with the officers of the govern¬ ment, from lho lakes to the Pacific, the first re¬ quest is, lurn, /«ni—meaning -rum or whisky.— And at the close of a cocference, it 'itlum,lumj Ium. This, like with a belter informed class than Indians, is tha only point upon which it ia useless to appeal either to feelings of shame, or feelings of honor. You might as well appeal to a christian,' who puts his trust in. riches make a charitable disposition ofhis superfluous weallb, lest hc perish, than to appeal to Indians to ahandon the uae of Ium. * Declaim, as you may, against the use of il; paint the ill effecta of it as strongly as you choose; speak with as much contempt as you may of drunkards; their best and their bravest still clamor for whisky.' Schoolcraft, who lived long among lhem, relates a characteristic anecdote to this effect: A noted Patlawattomie chief presented himself to the American Agent at Chicago, a.' a good man, and a good friend to the Americans, and then concluded wiih the usual request for whisky,— Tho reply was, that the Agent did give whisky to good Indians; that such neither asked for it, nor drank it, when offered ; that it was bad In¬ dians only, who aaked for whisky. The In¬ dian replied with great qnicUness, in broken English: 'Med n rascal!' Flint's Abor¬ igines of Miss. Valley,p. 121. To return from the digression to lhe narra¬ tive in hand—Orettyagh, who had expressed great satisfaction that tbo salo of rum amongst the Indians might be suppressed, bad soon abundant reaaon to renew bis complaint to the Governor of the great quantity of rum brought to Conostogo, * insomuch that tbe Indians were ruined by it, having nothing left, but had laid out all tlieir clothes for rum.' This complaint was, it appeara, at a criiical juncture. The Chief of Coneatogo continues :' and may now, (1704) when threatened with war, be surprised by their enemies when besidea themaelves wiih drink, and so utterly be destroyed.' Col. Ree. II, 143. It is further slated that, * a French letter from Madam Le Tort, the French woman at Cono¬ stogoe, directed to Edward Ffarmer, bearing date the 15ih March, 1703-4, brought to Gov. Evans, informing that tbo Towittoia Indians had come down and cut off two families of thcir neighbor Indians at Conostogoe, and that they wero all there under great apprehensions of furiher mischief from them, and were pre¬ paring to demand auccor of tho government, in ca.ie the disorders ahould continue.' Col. Ree, II, 123. The subject of the loiter was duly conaider¬ ed by the Council; and, it was resolved to des¬ patch messengers to Conostogo to learn the truth of the information, aa Jt appeared some¬ what suspicious. There were at this time re¬ peated rumors of wars and menaces that the Indians cast of the Susquehanna, ahould be cut off. ' Peter Bezalion, the French trader, coming from Philadelphia, May IStli, 1704, and being sent for, informed the board, that he bad heard that those of tbe Five Naiions, who in¬ tended shortly to como down this way, had a design of carrying off the Shawanah Indians' both those settled near Conostogoe, and those near Lechay, they being colonies of a nation that were theic enemies.* {Col. Ree. II, 145.— * May 12th 1705, two Indians from Conostogoe wailed on Governor Evans, informing him that they had been alarmed by the people of Mary¬ land, and were told that they had designed to come and take or cut thera off, npon account of an injury done to aome of that province by aome of the Fiva Nations, of which they were whol¬ ly innocent, and, therefore, deaired tbis govern¬ ment's protection, that as they had behaved tliemselves well and peaceably, they might con¬ tinue to live in quietness and unmolested*'— (Col. Ree. II, 197.) The governor gave them assurances, that if thcy were clear of the vio¬ lence dono lately to the Engliah, in Maryland* and would not Bsponao the cause, or shelter any that ahould commit any injuries against Queen Ann's aubjects, they should always be pro¬ tected. These [reports seem to have heen illy found¬ ed, so far as the Five Nations were concerned. Assurances had been given, about this time to Kneeghnyaskoate, brother of Harry of Conos' togoe, their interpreter,' that they bad no hos' tile designs against any of our Indians, but were at peace with all the English and the In¬ dians reaiding among them;' hut were some¬ what apprehensive that by reason of the French decoying some of their youths, they ahould have a rupture and shortly come to a war with the French. .

Wednesday, August 21, 1850. GE-VEnAL AFPHOpaiATio.\5.—The House ac¬ cordingly resolved itself into Committee ofthe whole on the state of Ihe union, (Air. Burt in the chair,) aud resumed tho consideration of the hili making appropriations forihe civil and diplomatic expenses of the Government for the year ending 30ih June, 1851. The following item being under consideration: *' For salaries of Chargea d' Affaires to Portu¬ gal. Austria, Denmark, Sweden, Holland, Bel- niurn, Naples,; Sardinia, the Papal States, Peru, New Granada, Venezuela, Buenos Ayres, Bol¬ ivia, Guatemala, aud Ecuador, $72,000. Mr. BAYLY moved the following ameud¬ meut:' " For outfit of Charges d' Affaires to Portugal, New Granada, Gualemelu, and Ecuador, $18,- 000. Mr" BAYLY said, es he knew he should he asked to ezplaiu tho necessity for this ameud¬ meut, he might as well make the explanation at once. The Secretary of State had informed' thu Commiiteo of Ways and Means that there would bo a chango iu tho charges d' affaires in iheee four miesions, and that new chai'ges would be eent out. If so, theao outfits wotild be ne- The World** Fair.—The preEarationB, at London, for the great exhibition, in 1851, of the indoBtry of the-ff orld, are progreising, and OR a scale of the greatest magnificence. The buUding to be erected for thU Fair in Hyde Park will, &t the lowest estimate, cost a half a Diillion of dollars- The edifice ia to cover 18 aores, to be 100 feet in height, and ie to contain eight miles of tables. Theamount already ob. tained by snbsoription is, over $300,000. It ia eatimated that at least half a million of peo¬ ple Till visit the Exhibitions, in the oonrse of the six months it is to continue, and the receipts firom thi9-,eonroe, at the probable admission priee of one shilling, or twenty^-foor oents, per head,wiU give $120,000..

He should be probably asked, too, what ne- ceflBJty there was for this. All he had to aay ia reply to that waa, that he did not know whm the necesaity waa ; nnd further, he did not think it was his duty to know. The foreign af¬ fairs of the country were in the chnrge of the Executive and of the Senate; and, except iu very atrong ca8eB"-(he could very well conceive of cases in which this House ought to intefere) —in the ordinary changea of ministers and cou¬ duct of our foreign relations, unleaa there was some ground to believo that tliere was some impropriety at the bottom, he ihought the Houae ought to vote what tlie bronch of the Govoniment having lhe charge of our foreign affairs estimated to be necesstirj'. Mr. McCLEARNAND (Mr. Bayly yielding the floor) said, with regard to the appropriation asked for the restoration of the mission to Por¬ tugal, he wonld say thie; the commiltee and couutry were douhtlees aware that a report had been in circulation for some time that our charge d' affuirea ut Lisbon (Mr. Clay,) had been instructed to mako a final demaud upon the Portugeae Government for the payment of certain claims h-ldtobo due to the United Statea, and upnn a failure of that Goverumotil to comply with the demand, that he was in- itrnctBif to withdraw aud come home. He pre¬ sumed it to be truo—in fact, he had no doubt ofit; that since these instructions wero given aud since this demand woa made, nn arrange¬ ment had been initiated between lUe I'oriugcfie minister here aud the Secretary of State, where¬ by some ninety odd thousaud dollars of these claims had been admitted or would certainly be paid, and whereby the balanceof the claims preferred by this Government agjiinat Portugal, including the claim growing out of lho brig Armstrong, which wus jieilmps tho only re¬ maining one, was to be refoired to the King of Sweden for arbitration. The whole thiug was in atrain of eatisfactory Hrrangeraeut. In view of theae facts, tho Sccretury of Slale desired nn appropriation lor the outfit uf a charge d' af¬ faires to Portugal, if it should be deemed prop¬ er to send ono there. With respect to Ecuador, and ono or two other places uamed in tho ameudmeut proposed, ho would odd, upon what he considered relia¬ ble aulhority, that it wus the desiro of lhe di¬ plomatic agents of the United States at those places to return home, and that it was expected they would return ot an early day. If, there¬ foro, it waa desirable to coutinue theae miaaioue at all. the appropriation asked was or might become abaolutely necessary for that purpose. Mr. CARTER opposed] the amendment, and characterized tho proposed amendment, as i very extraordiuary ouo. It contemplated thi. pDJaibility of this Adminielratiou sweeping ofl Its owu agents—tho diplomatic ageuta of its own selection. This AdminiBli-ation, for the sake of feeding and fattening its political hang¬ ers-on, it appeared, waa uuder the necesaity ol changing ita own diplomatic agents every thirty or sixty days, for the sake uf giving a now sel tbeir outfit and infit, amounting to some thou¬ aauds of dollara. He was wilTing to comply with the neceaaity of sustaining these political paupers, if the Adminiatration would put auch men in their places as would hold out through one preaidential term; but he waauuwilliug to vuto an appropriation, to be placed at tho con¬ trol of the Executive, to meet the expenaeaof proBpeciive changea of this character, and for thia pnrpose. He said that, according to thc very peculiar diplomacy of the late Admioietration, or of ita Secretary of State, it was considered important (and it had proved to bo efficient) to bluster witli Portugal, to aend a squadron lo Lisbon, and to give out threata, or at least to raake a ahow of force ; and he underatooti that tho Por¬ tuguese Government, on agreeing to eetlle the largest portion of the claims raede against them by our Govemment, atoted that they agreed to pay lhem, not beeauao ihov believed thom to be just, but because they were obliged to yield to force, and to the apprehenaion that if they did not comply with the demand, our naval forco would be employed againat them. He was iuformed ihata portion of our Mediterra¬ nean aquadi'ou, under the command of Commo¬ dore Moreau, who was eaid to be a man v?ho could talk well aud, blaster some—thoogh ho (Mr. S.) knew nothing of the gentleman and he intended to say nothing disrespectful of him— had been sent into the Tagua, aimultaneously with the demand being made upon the Fortu- gnese Government for immediate payment. This policy seemed to have succeeded, and the Fortagneso Governmont, knowing nothing of the powera ofthe different deparimenta of our Govonunent, yielded to ihe demands made upon them in this vray by tho late Administra¬ tion. Onr Charge at Liahon was inatmcled, if his demands wore not acceded to within a cer- imn time> to demand his passports and return home. He did return Mr, BTANTON, of Tennessee, moved to amend the amendment, by striking out $18,000, and inserting $20,000. Mr. Mccf BRNAND (interposing) wished to oQcrect the gentleman.^. He baid not yet return- «l home, and it was nbt absolutely certain that he .woald return.-, I^or" was ,'it yet, iiubwn whether the pending negotiatipna between the two Oovenunente, would bo concluded here ^r at llif bon; b*ac« tho apptnpriatlanY'v&sXed for to meet a cbntTngency -whicb'might arise-^, tbe appointment of a-new charge d'anaires. Mr.. STANTON (reauming) said, he under^ stood that the matter had now been arranged by the Portuguese Government iigreeing to pay a partof the claims, and v?itb regard to tho reat, our. Gtiveroment had agreed.to refer thetn for arbitration to the-Freaiaent of-the Freneh Kapuhlicj.or, te the King af Sweden, leaving it to the Fortngnese Govemment to. decide be¬ tween the two. It was very fortunate that a new re^me had taken place,.and that,they were placing our foreign relations on a proper basis, and main¬ taining the honor ofour Govemment. Mr. STEVEWS, of Pennsylvania, said, he should like to kuow ou what authority it was said that the late Administration had blustered in thia maltec. What authority had the gentle¬ man from Tennesaee for saying ihat the late Administration had sentlpart of our squadron into theTagus to intimidate Portugal? He had received no auch information. Mr. STANTON said, he had infortnntiun of an authentic character, that the Portuguese Government, in making thia offer to our Gov¬ ernment, said that it did so, not because it be¬ lieved tho cause to be just, but that it yielded to force. Mr. STEVENS. Where does the gentleman et his information ? From auy offacial com¬ munication from auy of the departments 7 or from newspaper authority? Mr. STANTON. I ask if tbe gentleman is authorized to contradict it ? - Mr. STEVENS. Contradict it.' I am not to prove a negative. When a gentleman rises and makes a charge againat an Administratiou, he at least ought to be prepared to prove it, and until he doea prove it, I hold it to be afahrica- tiou; not of the genlleman, but of that prolific race of liars who acribhle for lho preaa. Mr. STANTON. I have it from the higheat authority. Mi. STEVENS. Tell ua toho ? Some gen¬ tlemen hold a letter writer to bo "high authori' ty; *' some hold the *' Union," and some " The Republic " to be " high authority." Which of all those thc gentleman alludes to I do not know, but I presume to eome village newspaper in hia district. But 1 want lo know on what au¬ thority tbe late Administration is charged with violating any principle of our Conatituiion, in attempting, like the Administration immediate¬ ly preceding,to make war upon its own authority? I do not believe, for a moment, that General Taylor's administration ever intimated that if Portugal did not submit to our demands, the na¬ val force of the Government would be brought to bear against her; and until there is high au¬ lhority brought forward—auch as gentlemen who are not determined to believe such reports at any rate, will think entitled to belief—I will not beliove it. I know nothing of it per¬ sonally; I have no information from ofHcial quarters about it. I am not one of those who go about the departments at auy tirae to ask in¬ formation, or to obtain the confidence of the public oflicers. But I have such entire confi¬ dence in tho administration of General Taylor and hia Cabinet, that I feel no hesitancy in say¬ ing that I disbelieve it; and unless a gentleman will sny on his word that he has seen authentic documents to the contrary, I say that I do not believe it. Mr. McCLERNAND (Mr. Stevens yielding the floor at his request) said, he had already stated that it had been understood that our Charge d'Affaires at Lisbon (Mr.Clay) had been instructed to make a final demand upon the Portuguese Government for the payment of claima held to be due to citizens of the United Slates. It had also been reported, that the Sec¬ retary of the Navy had ordered two of our ves¬ sela into the Tagus for the purpose of enlorcing these demands, if necessary, by a bombard¬ ment of the capital of Portugal; but he felt quite confident that thia report was untrue. It was probably true tbat a public vessel had been ordered to await Mr. Clay's pleasure, and to bring him home, if this demand ahould be re¬ jected, and be should deem it proper to come home. He presumed this was the full extent of lhe order. Mr. STE\Ti:NS (resuming) said, he had no doubt but the siatement of the gentleman from Illinois, who held such a relation to the depart¬ ment as enabled him to get authentic informa¬ tion, waa correct, and to be relied on, notwiih¬ sianding the high authority to the contrary of letter-writers and newspaper editorials, which the gentleman from Tonnesse aeemed to con¬ sult with 50 much confidence. The question was taken, and the amendment to the amendment was rejecled. Mr. STANTON, of Tennessee, moved, to increase the appropriation to the sum of £19,- 000. He had submitted this amendment (he aaid) for the purpose of saying a word in ex¬ planation. It had not been his intention, in the remarks he had made, to represent that this Government had issued orders to any poriion of the naval forces to bombard any of the Port¬ uguese cities. But he had intended lo say, what he thought must bo palpable to the raind of every genlleman, that this portion of our Mediteranean squadron bad been sent to the Tagus for ihe purpose of producing that im¬ preasion upon lhe mind of the Portuguese Gov¬ ernment, and he tbought that gentlemen might find something in the annual message of the late president which looked to the same object and was calculated to produce the samo im¬ pression. Mr. BUTLER, of Pennsylvania, roso to a point of Older. He submitted that the gentle¬ man was not speaking to the amendment- The CHAIRMAN said, the Chair could not perceive that thc gentleman from Tennessee (Mr. Stanton) could be called to order on the ground of irrelevancy in his remarks. Mr. STANTON proceeded. I find in the President's annual raesssage the following par¬ agraph : " The omi.c.'-ioa of Portugal to do justice to fhe Amorican claimants, has uow a.'Jaumcd a chnraotor FO grave andscrioui, that I.ihall shortly mako it thc subject of a special message to CongreHS with a view to such ultimate netioii as its wisdom and pa¬ triotism mny suggcat." Well, (continued Mr. S.,) Mr. Clayton found a shorter mode—not by directing a bombard¬ ment, but by sending an intelligent officer wilh a portion of our Mediterranean squadron, and permitting them to bluster about and produce upon the Portuguese Government the impress¬ ion that a bombardment was contemplated; and in this manner force a aettlement of the claims. 1 do not mean particularly to condemn this policy, if it suits the fancy of gentlemen on the other side ol the House. The CHAIR interposed. Mr. STANTON, (taking hi.i seat.) Well, sir, that is all I have lo say. Mr. STEVENS, of Pennsylvania, said he waa opposed to the amendment. The gentle man from Tennessee [Mr. Stanto.n] had undertaken to prove from the message of the late President of lhe United States, that there was some countenance there given to what the gentleman had said—that the President had sent a talking Commodore with a squadron to bluster and intimidate the Portuguese Govern¬ ment. Now, on the contrary, the message to wbich the genlleman had referred, declared that if the difficulties were not settled—what then ? Why, the President would submit tho matter to the wisdom and patriotism of Con¬ gress ; not that he would order a bombard¬ ment ; not that he would direct our naval force to take any steps, but that he svould submit the matier to Congress. And tho gentleman, in candor, having read that extract from the mes¬ sage, should have said, ihatnothing wasfurther from the idea of the late Administration than to send a squadron to operate in conjunction with our representative there. Any auch in¬ tention was in fact disclaimed by the very mes¬ sage which lhe gentleman had read ; and the late President had intimated, that if hostile measures must follow the failure to settle the difiiculties, the proceedings would be conduct¬ ed in the proper constitutional mode, by sub¬ mitting tho matter to the consideration, and ac¬ tion of Congress, therefore The CHAIRMAN interposed, and Mr. STEVENS took his seat. Mr. STANTON, of Tenneaaee. I ahould very much like to aak the genlleman from Penn¬ aylvania tMr. Stevens] a question. Mr. STEVENS. Well, air. The CHAIR. It is not in order. The question was then taken, and the amend¬ ment to the amendment was reiected. ODD<£miOWS PBOCESSIOir. TEr& Members of North Star Lodge intend haTlug a PTOctaAoUi&t Chflitlami Village.

WiLLiAii Penn, who believed that Indians had aouls, treated them as human beinga, men and frienda. He never resorted to the petty ar¬ tifices of-.diplomacy, too often conaidered by some as perfectly justifiable. Such arts Penu viewed as exceedingly dishonest, and condemn. ed them as against conscience. In a letier to the aborigines, dated London, the 18th of the Sth month, 1 GSl, he thus addresses them, through his ccmmissionera,—* My Friends :—There is a greal God and power that hath made the world, and all things therein; to whom you and Ij and all people owe iheir being, and well-being; and to whom you and I must one day give an accDtmt for all that we do in the world.
This great God has written his law in onr hearts, by which we are taught and command¬ ed to love, and help, and do good to one anoth¬ er. Now this great God hath been pleased to make nie concerned in your pnrt of the world ; and the king of the country, where I live, hath given me u great province therein ; but I desire lo enjoy it with your love and cousent j that we may always live together as neighbors and frienda; else what would the great God do to us, who hath made us, not to devour antl de¬ atroy one anoiher, but to live soberly and kindly togeiher in the world ? Now I woultl have you well observe, that I atn very sensible of the unkindncss and injustice that bave been too much exercised towards you, by the people of these parts of tho world, who have sought them¬ selves, and to make great atlvantages by you, rather than examples of goodness and patience unto you, which I hear hath been a matier of trouble to you. and caused great grudgings and animosities, sometimes to the shedding of blood, which hath made the great God angry. But I am not such a man,—as is well known in my own couniry. I have great love and regard towards you ; and desire lo win and gain your love and friendship, by a kind, just and peacea¬ ble life; and the people I send are of tbc same mind, and shall, in all things, behave them¬ selves accordingly ; and if, in any thing, nny shall ofTend you, or your people, you shall have a full and speedy satisfaciion for the same, by an equal number of just men, on both sides; that, by no means, you may have just occasion of being offended against them.
I shall shortly come to you myself; at which time, wo may more largely nnd freely confer and discourse of these matters ; in the mean¬ time I have sent yon my commissionera to treat wilh you about land, and a firm league of peace ; let me desire you to be kind to them, and the people, and receive these prcsonts and tokens, which I have sent you, as a testimony of my good will to you, and my resolution to livc>/ijf/y, peaceably and friendly with you.'— Proud'3 Pa. I, 195-
Penn's great mind was uniformly influenced in his intercourse with the Indians by the im¬ mutable principles of>«jft«,which every where, and for all purposes, must be regarded as fun¬ damental, if human efforts are by any means to be crowned with noble and permanent results. In his cerlain Conditiotis agreed upon by him and the first purchasers, full provision had been made, July Uth, 1651, to carry out, what Penn intimated in the above letier—* that an equal nnmber of just men on bolh sides should be se¬ lected ' to do thera justice. The article reads thus :
' That no man shall, by any way or means, in word or deed, affront or wrong any Indian, but fhall incur the same penalty of law as ifhe had committed it against hta fellow planter, nnd if any Indian shall abuse, in word or deot], any planter of iliis province, that he shall not be hi; own judge upon the Indian, but he shall make bis complaint to the Governor of the province, or his lieuienanr, or depuiy, or some inferior magistrate near him, who shall, to the utmosi of his power, take care with the king of Uic said Indian, that all reaonable satisfaction be made lo lhe said injured planter—that all differences, between the planters and the natives, shall also he ended by/toc/f-r men—by six planters and y.- Jtatives; that so we may live friendly to- ' ^'eii.*'', as mucli ns in ns lieib, preventing all occas ons af hearl burnings and mischiefs.^— Proiid's Pa. Ap. p. 4.
Here is embodied the very essence of good government—Eijual Rights. In the articles of agreement of 1701, the same principlcB are de¬ veloped, and provisions mado for perpetual peace and good offices between the parties ; and so long as tbe government regarded these pro¬ visions, amicablo relations wero maintained with the natives :* To enablo him to fulfil his promise of protection to tbe Conostogoes, Shawaneso and Ganawese, ' wben last in the country, Penn visited those of Conostogoe, and Ilia son upon his arrival did the same, in order to cultivate lho ancient friendship between lhem, that Ue (tho son) and bia posterity might after bis faiber's example, maintain peace and a good understanding wiib ihem and ihejrs.'— Col. Ree. II, 253.
Careful, as Penn was, to prevent * abuses put upon the Indians in trade,* a cerlain John Hans Steelman (Col. Ree. II, 16, 557) residing in Maryland, followed, as early as 1701, and without license, a close trade with the Indians of lhe province, not only at Conostogoe, but bad been endeavoring to settle a trade with them ai Lechay (Lehigh) on the Forks of tbe Delaware ' (Easton). For ibis temerity, Penn aent Henry Mallows to arrest bim and seize such of his goods as wore going to Lechay, and take security from him for such as he had sold at Ccnostogo.' Penn aubmitted the case to Messrs. Shippen, Carpenter, Story, Puaey, Ow¬ en and Pemberton, May 31, 1701, and it was decided, because Steelman lived in Maryland, * it will not appear so reasonable tooxercise the rigor of the law against hira ; but an effectual course should be taken to prevent such prac¬ tices and abuses for tbe fuiure, and tbat he be not permitted to proceed in violating the laws as hitherto j it was ordered, that for thc aaid reasons, and because the Indians complain against him for defrauding them, he be not permitted to trade any more till he has regular- iy obtained license for that purpose ; that his goods be restored, he giving a bond of one thousand pounds, that they, or their value ahall be forth coming if called for, and that he ahall observe ihe laws of this province, and the agreement now made with the Indians, to whieh be was a witness, (he was one o,f the witneases to tbe articles of agreement of April 23d, 1701, Prov. Ree. II, 12) and that he defray and sat¬ isfy Henry Mallow's charges in going for, and bringing him hither. Prov. Ree. II, 17,
Penn's mode and measure of justice prescrib¬ ed for both whites and Indians, and hia inflexi¬ ble determination to matntaia the law, earned for him from the Indians much affection and eaicem. Shortly beforo his departure for Eng¬ land, * the Sachems of the Susquehannah and Shawahnese Indians, -with some of thoir peo-
* At no point, perhaps, irill an episode be more fa- Torably viewed, in tho series offered, than here.— Tho fatal and devoted attachment, of Indiana, to ar¬ dent epirits haa ever been, and ia jet, a matter of melanoholyTiotoriety. .Words wonldiail to attempt to ponrtray' the effeets of it upon - the race—it IB on evil entailed npon tbeca by the irhitcfl.— BigoroQs measoiea should alwit^s hare been adopt¬ ed, to prevent the sale'of intoxitutiag- drink. The uaa of strong drink, smone the irhites, eren imch as &ro plujed to call themsalree Chrittians, is a bnni- iog disgrace.
ple,» paid him e visit at Philadelphia. 'Ho in¬ formed them (Oet. 7,1701,) that thifl now was likely to be hit last interview with them, at least before bis retnm, that he had erer loved, and been kind to themj aHd ever should con¬ tinue ao to be, not through any politick design or interest; but ont of a most real affection ; end desired them, in hit absence to cultivate friendship with those he wonld leave behind in authority, as they would always, in somo de¬ gree, oontinue to be lo them as himself had ever been. The GJovernor also informed tbem that tfce Assembly was now enacting a law, ac¬ cording to their desire, to prevent their being abused by the selling of rom, with wbich Oret- ^yogh, one of tbe Sachems, In the name of the rest, expressed a great satiafaction, and desired that, that law might effectually be put in exe¬ cution ; and, notoniy discoursed of as former¬ ly it had been ; they had long suffered by the practice ; bul now hoped for redress, and that they sbould hare reason to complain no more. ' And for tha more effeotually answering so good a design, the governor desired tbat when¬ ever any transgreiaed the said law, and came contrary amongst them, to agreement, ihey would forthwith give information thereof to the government, that the offenders might be duly prosecuted: which they promised to observe, and ihat if any rum were brought, they would not buy it; but send the peraon who brought it, back wilh it again.
* Then the governor informed them, that he had charged the members of Council;— and, then also renewed the same charge, that they should, in all respecis, be kiod to them with alt courtesy and demonstration of good will, as he himaelf had ever dono; which the said members -promised faithfully to observe— and, making them somo presents, ths Indians withdrew/ Col. Ree. II, 42, 43.
Among the Indians, malo and female are in¬ fatuated with the lovo of strong drink—ihey, like many of the white race, know no bounds to tlieir deaire, wbile they can swallow it down —they become so drunk, that the greatest of them acarce deserve the name of a decent brute. To have rum, they will agree to any thing.— An act was passed in the province of Penniylva¬ nia, prior to l6S4, that drunkenness, and the encouragement of drunkenness, should be chas¬ tised by fine and imprisonment.* So determin¬ ed were the Indians from Susquehanna and Schuylkill, that Penn yielded, on cerlain con¬ ditions, to their wishes. Atan Assembly held, at New Castle, May 20th, 1684, he informed the Council that he had called the Indians to¬ gether, and proposed to them to let tbem have rum, if they would be contented to be punish¬ ed as the English were, which they did agree to, provided that thc law of not selling them rum, be abolished.' Gordon^a Pa. 71, Col. Rte. 1,51.
Since the whites have had intercourso witb the Indians, they love whisky—it is ever in their thoughts. In all llieir councils, and talks, and conferences with the officers of the govern¬ ment, from lho lakes to the Pacific, the first re¬ quest is, lurn, /«ni—meaning -rum or whisky.— And at the close of a cocference, it 'itlum,lumj Ium. This, like with a belter informed class than Indians, is tha only point upon which it ia useless to appeal either to feelings of shame, or feelings of honor. You might as well appeal to a christian,' who puts his trust in. riches make a charitable disposition ofhis superfluous weallb, lest hc perish, than to appeal to Indians to ahandon the uae of Ium. * Declaim, as you may, against the use of il; paint the ill effecta of it as strongly as you choose; speak with as much contempt as you may of drunkards; their best and their bravest still clamor for whisky.' Schoolcraft, who lived long among lhem, relates a characteristic anecdote to this effect: A noted Patlawattomie chief presented himself to the American Agent at Chicago, a.' a good man, and a good friend to the Americans, and then concluded wiih the usual request for whisky,— Tho reply was, that the Agent did give whisky to good Indians; that such neither asked for it, nor drank it, when offered ; that it was bad In¬ dians only, who aaked for whisky. The In¬ dian replied with great qnicUness, in broken English: 'Med n rascal!' Flint's Abor¬ igines of Miss. Valley,p. 121.
To return from the digression to lhe narra¬ tive in hand—Orettyagh, who had expressed great satisfaction that tbo salo of rum amongst the Indians might be suppressed, bad soon abundant reaaon to renew bis complaint to the Governor of the great quantity of rum brought to Conostogo, * insomuch that tbe Indians were ruined by it, having nothing left, but had laid out all tlieir clothes for rum.' This complaint was, it appeara, at a criiical juncture. The Chief of Coneatogo continues :' and may now, (1704) when threatened with war, be surprised by their enemies when besidea themaelves wiih drink, and so utterly be destroyed.' Col. Ree. II, 143.
It is further slated that, * a French letter from Madam Le Tort, the French woman at Cono¬ stogoe, directed to Edward Ffarmer, bearing date the 15ih March, 1703-4, brought to Gov. Evans, informing that tbo Towittoia Indians had come down and cut off two families of thcir neighbor Indians at Conostogoe, and that they wero all there under great apprehensions of furiher mischief from them, and were pre¬ paring to demand auccor of tho government, in ca.ie the disorders ahould continue.' Col. Ree, II, 123.
The subject of the loiter was duly conaider¬ ed by the Council; and, it was resolved to des¬ patch messengers to Conostogo to learn the truth of the information, aa Jt appeared some¬ what suspicious. There were at this time re¬ peated rumors of wars and menaces that the Indians cast of the Susquehanna, ahould be cut off. ' Peter Bezalion, the French trader, coming from Philadelphia, May IStli, 1704, and being sent for, informed the board, that he bad heard that those of tbe Five Naiions, who in¬ tended shortly to como down this way, had a design of carrying off the Shawanah Indians' both those settled near Conostogoe, and those near Lechay, they being colonies of a nation that were theic enemies.* {Col. Ree. II, 145.—
* May 12th 1705, two Indians from Conostogoe wailed on Governor Evans, informing him that they had been alarmed by the people of Mary¬ land, and were told that they had designed to come and take or cut thera off, npon account of an injury done to aome of that province by aome of the Fiva Nations, of which they were whol¬ ly innocent, and, therefore, deaired tbis govern¬ ment's protection, that as they had behaved tliemselves well and peaceably, they might con¬ tinue to live in quietness and unmolested*'— (Col. Ree. II, 197.) The governor gave them assurances, that if thcy were clear of the vio¬ lence dono lately to the Engliah, in Maryland* and would not Bsponao the cause, or shelter any that ahould commit any injuries against Queen Ann's aubjects, they should always be pro¬ tected.
These [reports seem to have heen illy found¬ ed, so far as the Five Nations were concerned. Assurances had been given, about this time to Kneeghnyaskoate, brother of Harry of Conos' togoe, their interpreter,' that they bad no hos' tile designs against any of our Indians, but were at peace with all the English and the In¬ dians reaiding among them;' hut were some¬ what apprehensive that by reason of the French decoying some of their youths, they ahould have a rupture and shortly come to a war with the French. .

THB WINE CUP.

Dash donn tbe sparkling cup! its gleam,
Like the pale corpae-lTght o'er the tomh, la hnt a false, deceitful beam,
To lore thee onward to thy doom- The sparkling gleam will fado away,
And round thy loat bewildered feot, 'Mid darkness, terror, and dismay.
The ghastly shapes of death will meet.
Diuh down the cup ! a poison aleeps,
In every drop thy lips would drain, To make thy life-blood seethe and leap,
A fiery flood, through every vein— A fiery flood thot will effiioe.
By slow degreea thy godlike mind, Till, 'mid its ashes, not a traco
Of reason shidl ho loft bohind.
Dft.ih down tho cap! a serpont starls,
Beneath the flowera which crown its brim, Whoso deadly pangs will slrike thy hoart.
And mako thy fl.i3hing cvo prow dim. Before whoso hot and maddening breath—
More fatal than thc simoon bloat— Thy manhood, in unhonorod Jeath,
Will sink, a worthless wreck at la.it.
Dash down the cup! thy father stands,
And pleads in accents deep and low, Thine anguished mother clasps her hand.s
"With quivering lips and vrordless woe. They who havo home thee nn thoir breast
And shielded thee tbrough many a year; Oh, would'st thou make thoir bosoms blest,
Their life a joy,—their pleading he.ir !
Dash down lho cup'. thy young wife kncola:
Her eyes, whoso drops havo ofteu giished. Are turueJ, with muto and soft appeal.
Upon thy babe, iu slumber hushed. Didflt thou not woo her in hor youth
AVith many a food and solemn vow I (,lh, turn ogain, and all her truth
And love shall hc rewarded now !
Dash down the cup! and on thy brow, 'Iliough darkened o'er with many a stain.
Thy manhood's light, so feeble now,
. Shall, bright and steady, hum ngain.
Thv strength fhall, like the fabled bird, From its own ashes upward ."firing;
And fountftina in thy breast he .stirred. Whose watera living joy shall bring !
The Prayer of the Betrothed.
Father, I come before Thy throne,
With low nnd bended knee, To thank Thee, with a grateful tone,
For nil Thy love to me. Forgive mo if my heart this hour
I givo not alt to theo. For deep affection'." inighty poiver
Divides it now witli tlice.
Thou knowest, Futher, every thought
That wak'at wiihin my broaat. And how this heart has vainly ."ought
To keep its love suppress*d. But when the idol worshipp'd ono

GE-VEnAL AFPHOpaiATio.\5.—The House ac¬ cordingly resolved itself into Committee ofthe whole on the state of Ihe union, (Air. Burt in the chair,) aud resumed tho consideration of the hili making appropriations forihe civil and diplomatic expenses of the Government for the year ending 30ih June, 1851. The following item being under consideration:
*' For salaries of Chargea d' Affaires to Portu¬ gal. Austria, Denmark, Sweden, Holland, Bel- niurn, Naples,; Sardinia, the Papal States, Peru, New Granada, Venezuela, Buenos Ayres, Bol¬ ivia, Guatemala, aud Ecuador, $72,000.
Mr. BAYLY moved the following ameud¬ meut:'
" For outfit of Charges d' Affaires to Portugal, New Granada, Gualemelu, and Ecuador, $18,- 000.
Mr" BAYLY said, es he knew he should he asked to ezplaiu tho necessity for this ameud¬ meut, he might as well make the explanation at once. The Secretary of State had informed' thu Commiiteo of Ways and Means that there would bo a chango iu tho charges d' affaires in iheee four miesions, and that new chai'ges would be eent out. If so, theao outfits wotild be ne-
The World** Fair.—The preEarationB, at London, for the great exhibition, in 1851, of the indoBtry of the-ff orld, are progreising, and OR a scale of the greatest magnificence. The buUding to be erected for thU Fair in Hyde Park will, &t the lowest estimate, cost a half a Diillion of dollars- The edifice ia to cover 18 aores, to be 100 feet in height, and ie to contain eight miles of tables. Theamount already ob. tained by snbsoription is, over $300,000. It ia eatimated that at least half a million of peo¬ ple Till visit the Exhibitions, in the oonrse of the six months it is to continue, and the receipts firom thi9-,eonroe, at the probable admission priee of one shilling, or twenty^-foor oents, per head,wiU give $120,000..

ceaaar)'.
He should be probably asked, too, what ne- ceflBJty there was for this. All he had to aay ia reply to that waa, that he did not know whm the necesaity waa ; nnd further, he did not think it was his duty to know. The foreign af¬ fairs of the country were in the chnrge of the Executive and of the Senate; and, except iu very atrong ca8eB"-(he could very well conceive of cases in which this House ought to intefere) —in the ordinary changea of ministers and cou¬ duct of our foreign relations, unleaa there was some ground to believo that tliere was some impropriety at the bottom, he ihought the Houae ought to vote what tlie bronch of the Govoniment having lhe charge of our foreign affairs estimated to be necesstirj'.
Mr. McCLEARNAND (Mr. Bayly yielding the floor) said, with regard to the appropriation asked for the restoration of the mission to Por¬ tugal, he wonld say thie; the commiltee and couutry were douhtlees aware that a report had been in circulation for some time that our charge d' affuirea ut Lisbon (Mr. Clay,) had been instructed to mako a final demaud upon the Portugeae Government for the payment of certain claims h-ldtobo due to the United Statea, and upnn a failure of that Goverumotil to comply with the demand, that he was in- itrnctBif to withdraw aud come home. He pre¬ sumed it to be truo—in fact, he had no doubt ofit; that since these instructions wero given aud since this demand woa made, nn arrange¬ ment had been initiated between lUe I'oriugcfie minister here aud the Secretary of State, where¬ by some ninety odd thousaud dollars of these claims had been admitted or would certainly be paid, and whereby the balanceof the claims preferred by this Government agjiinat Portugal, including the claim growing out of lho brig Armstrong, which wus jieilmps tho only re¬ maining one, was to be refoired to the King of Sweden for arbitration. The whole thiug was in atrain of eatisfactory Hrrangeraeut. In view of theae facts, tho Sccretury of Slale desired nn appropriation lor the outfit uf a charge d' af¬ faires to Portugal, if it should be deemed prop¬ er to send ono there.
With respect to Ecuador, and ono or two other places uamed in tho ameudmeut proposed, ho would odd, upon what he considered relia¬ ble aulhority, that it wus the desiro of lhe di¬ plomatic agents of the United States at those places to return home, and that it was expected they would return ot an early day. If, there¬ foro, it waa desirable to coutinue theae miaaioue at all. the appropriation asked was or might become abaolutely necessary for that purpose. Mr. CARTER opposed] the amendment, and characterized tho proposed amendment, as i very extraordiuary ouo. It contemplated thi. pDJaibility of this Adminielratiou sweeping ofl Its owu agents—tho diplomatic ageuta of its own selection. This AdminiBli-ation, for the sake of feeding and fattening its political hang¬ ers-on, it appeared, waa uuder the necesaity ol changing ita own diplomatic agents every thirty or sixty days, for the sake uf giving a now sel tbeir outfit and infit, amounting to some thou¬ aauds of dollara. He was wilTing to comply with the neceaaity of sustaining these political paupers, if the Adminiatration would put auch men in their places as would hold out through one preaidential term; but he waauuwilliug to vuto an appropriation, to be placed at tho con¬ trol of the Executive, to meet the expenaeaof proBpeciive changea of this character, and for thia pnrpose.
He said that, according to thc very peculiar diplomacy of the late Admioietration, or of ita Secretary of State, it was considered important (and it had proved to bo efficient) to bluster witli Portugal, to aend a squadron lo Lisbon, and to give out threata, or at least to raake a ahow of force ; and he underatooti that tho Por¬ tuguese Government, on agreeing to eetlle the largest portion of the claims raede against them by our Govemment, atoted that they agreed to pay lhem, not beeauao ihov believed thom to be just, but because they were obliged to yield to force, and to the apprehenaion that if they did not comply with the demand, our naval forco would be employed againat them. He was iuformed ihata portion of our Mediterra¬ nean aquadi'ou, under the command of Commo¬ dore Moreau, who was eaid to be a man v?ho could talk well aud, blaster some—thoogh ho (Mr. S.) knew nothing of the gentleman and he intended to say nothing disrespectful of him— had been sent into the Tagua, aimultaneously with the demand being made upon the Fortu- gnese Government for immediate payment. This policy seemed to have succeeded, and the Fortagneso Governmont, knowing nothing of the powera ofthe different deparimenta of our Govonunent, yielded to ihe demands made upon them in this vray by tho late Administra¬ tion. Onr Charge at Liahon was inatmcled, if his demands wore not acceded to within a cer- imn time> to demand his passports and return
home. He did return
Mr, BTANTON, of Tennessee, moved to amend the amendment, by striking out $18,000, and inserting $20,000.
Mr. Mccf BRNAND (interposing) wished to oQcrect the gentleman.^. He baid not yet return- «l home, and it was nbt absolutely certain that he .woald return.-, I^or" was ,'it yet, iiubwn whether the pending negotiatipna between the two Oovenunente, would bo concluded here ^r at llif bon; b*ac« tho apptnpriatlanY'v&sXed
for to meet a cbntTngency -whicb'might arise-^, tbe appointment of a-new charge d'anaires.
Mr.. STANTON (reauming) said, he under^ stood that the matter had now been arranged by the Portuguese Government iigreeing to pay a partof the claims, and v?itb regard to tho reat, our. Gtiveroment had agreed.to refer thetn for arbitration to the-Freaiaent of-the Freneh Kapuhlicj.or, te the King af Sweden, leaving it to the Fortngnese Govemment to. decide be¬ tween the two.
It was very fortunate that a new re^me had taken place,.and that,they were placing our foreign relations on a proper basis, and main¬ taining the honor ofour Govemment.
Mr. STEVEWS, of Pennsylvania, said, he should like to kuow ou what authority it was said that the late Administration had blustered in thia maltec. What authority had the gentle¬ man from Tennesaee for saying ihat the late Administration had sentlpart of our squadron into theTagus to intimidate Portugal? He had received no auch information.
Mr. STANTON said, he had infortnntiun of an authentic character, that the Portuguese Government, in making thia offer to our Gov¬ ernment, said that it did so, not because it be¬ lieved tho cause to be just, but that it yielded to force. Mr. STEVENS. Where does the gentleman et his information ? From auy offacial com¬ munication from auy of the departments 7 or from newspaper authority?
Mr. STANTON. I ask if tbe gentleman is authorized to contradict it ? -
Mr. STEVENS. Contradict it.' I am not to prove a negative. When a gentleman rises and makes a charge againat an Administratiou, he at least ought to be prepared to prove it, and until he doea prove it, I hold it to be afahrica- tiou; not of the genlleman, but of that prolific race of liars who acribhle for lho preaa.
Mr. STANTON. I have it from the higheat authority.
Mi. STEVENS. Tell ua toho ? Some gen¬ tlemen hold a letter writer to bo "high authori' ty; *' some hold the *' Union," and some " The Republic " to be " high authority." Which of all those thc gentleman alludes to I do not know, but I presume to eome village newspaper in hia district. But 1 want lo know on what au¬ thority tbe late Administration is charged with violating any principle of our Conatituiion, in attempting, like the Administration immediate¬ ly preceding,to make war upon its own authority? I do not believe, for a moment, that General Taylor's administration ever intimated that if Portugal did not submit to our demands, the na¬ val force of the Government would be brought to bear against her; and until there is high au¬ lhority brought forward—auch as gentlemen who are not determined to believe such reports at any rate, will think entitled to belief—I will not beliove it. I know nothing of it per¬ sonally; I have no information from ofHcial quarters about it. I am not one of those who go about the departments at auy tirae to ask in¬ formation, or to obtain the confidence of the public oflicers. But I have such entire confi¬ dence in tho administration of General Taylor and hia Cabinet, that I feel no hesitancy in say¬ ing that I disbelieve it; and unless a gentleman will sny on his word that he has seen authentic documents to the contrary, I say that I do not believe it.
Mr. McCLERNAND (Mr. Stevens yielding the floor at his request) said, he had already stated that it had been understood that our Charge d'Affaires at Lisbon (Mr.Clay) had been instructed to make a final demand upon the Portuguese Government for the payment of claima held to be due to citizens of the United Slates. It had also been reported, that the Sec¬ retary of the Navy had ordered two of our ves¬ sela into the Tagus for the purpose of enlorcing these demands, if necessary, by a bombard¬ ment of the capital of Portugal; but he felt quite confident that thia report was untrue. It was probably true tbat a public vessel had been ordered to await Mr. Clay's pleasure, and to bring him home, if this demand ahould be re¬ jected, and be should deem it proper to come home. He presumed this was the full extent of lhe order.
Mr. STE\Ti:NS (resuming) said, he had no doubt but the siatement of the gentleman from Illinois, who held such a relation to the depart¬ ment as enabled him to get authentic informa¬ tion, waa correct, and to be relied on, notwiih¬ sianding the high authority to the contrary of letter-writers and newspaper editorials, which the gentleman from Tonnesse aeemed to con¬ sult with 50 much confidence.
The question was taken, and the amendment to the amendment was rejecled.
Mr. STANTON, of Tennessee, moved, to increase the appropriation to the sum of £19,- 000. He had submitted this amendment (he aaid) for the purpose of saying a word in ex¬ planation. It had not been his intention, in the remarks he had made, to represent that this Government had issued orders to any poriion of the naval forces to bombard any of the Port¬ uguese cities. But he had intended lo say, what he thought must bo palpable to the raind of every genlleman, that this portion of our Mediteranean squadron bad been sent to the Tagus for ihe purpose of producing that im¬ preasion upon lhe mind of the Portuguese Gov¬ ernment, and he tbought that gentlemen might find something in the annual message of the late president which looked to the same object and was calculated to produce the samo im¬ pression.
Mr. BUTLER, of Pennsylvania, roso to a point of Older. He submitted that the gentle¬ man was not speaking to the amendment-
The CHAIRMAN said, the Chair could not perceive that thc gentleman from Tennessee (Mr. Stanton) could be called to order on the ground of irrelevancy in his remarks.
Mr. STANTON proceeded. I find in the President's annual raesssage the following par¬ agraph :
" The omi.c.'-ioa of Portugal to do justice to fhe Amorican claimants, has uow a.'Jaumcd a chnraotor FO grave andscrioui, that I.ihall shortly mako it thc subject of a special message to CongreHS with a view to such ultimate netioii as its wisdom and pa¬ triotism mny suggcat."
Well, (continued Mr. S.,) Mr. Clayton found a shorter mode—not by directing a bombard¬ ment, but by sending an intelligent officer wilh a portion of our Mediterranean squadron, and permitting them to bluster about and produce upon the Portuguese Government the impress¬ ion that a bombardment was contemplated; and in this manner force a aettlement of the claims. 1 do not mean particularly to condemn this policy, if it suits the fancy of gentlemen on the other side ol the House. The CHAIR interposed.
Mr. STANTON, (taking hi.i seat.) Well, sir, that is all I have lo say.
Mr. STEVENS, of Pennsylvania, said he waa opposed to the amendment. The gentle man from Tennessee [Mr. Stanto.n] had undertaken to prove from the message of the late President of lhe United States, that there was some countenance there given to what the gentleman had said—that the President had sent a talking Commodore with a squadron to bluster and intimidate the Portuguese Govern¬ ment. Now, on the contrary, the message to wbich the genlleman had referred, declared that if the difficulties were not settled—what then ? Why, the President would submit tho matter to the wisdom and patriotism of Con¬ gress ; not that he would order a bombard¬ ment ; not that he would direct our naval force to take any steps, but that he svould submit the matier to Congress. And tho gentleman, in candor, having read that extract from the mes¬ sage, should have said, ihatnothing wasfurther from the idea of the late Administration than to send a squadron to operate in conjunction with our representative there. Any auch in¬ tention was in fact disclaimed by the very mes¬ sage which lhe gentleman had read ; and the late President had intimated, that if hostile measures must follow the failure to settle the difiiculties, the proceedings would be conduct¬ ed in the proper constitutional mode, by sub¬ mitting tho matter to the consideration, and ac¬ tion of Congress, therefore
The CHAIRMAN interposed, and
Mr. STEVENS took his seat.
Mr. STANTON, of Tenneaaee. I ahould very much like to aak the genlleman from Penn¬ aylvania tMr. Stevens] a question.
Mr. STEVENS. Well, air.
The CHAIR. It is not in order.
The question was then taken, and the amend¬ ment to the amendment was reiected.
