WAsUINGTON,ee. 18, 1818.-
- Sits %.TH.—.XL 11 o'clock, the Vic President call
ed the Senate to 'order. Afters readi ng the journal
of Thursday last, a great number of petitions were
presented and referred to appropriate committee.•
Mr. Doundass,!of Illinois, asked and obtained leave
to bring in a bill; having for its object, the granting
of politic, binds for the purpose of constructing a
Railroad to connect the Mississippi River with the
Northern Lakes; After a few explanatory remarks,
elicited by a call fur haunt/anal), the motion was
agreed tn.
Mr. Douglass ! , next moved that the bill for the ad
mission of 'California into the Union ns a State, lie
referred to the Committee on Territories; the bill in
corporating the!amendments laying off the territory
into the election districts, for the purpose of choos
ing delegates t 4 a Convention to form a State Con
stitution, andob i :fining the qualifications of voters.
Mr. Berrieit inolTd that the bill be referred to the
Committe of Jtidicary. Upon this motion, a very
animated debate took place, in which Messrs. Dou
glass, Berrien, Hale. Clayton; and others took part.
On the one silo, it was contended, with no little de
gree of warmth, that its reference to the Commit
tee on Territories was in every respect appropriate,
and in accordance. with -previous usage. That it
was simply a bill for the ad Mission of a territory
into the , t lonfederacy, and thativhatever issues might
'arise in the dis l cussion of the expediency or tweed - -
sit y of the measure proposed, it. should 'not and could
not influence the Committee in question in the
framing of the bill for that object, if they deeined it
advisable. Oh the other side, it was contended with
equal warlialn that in ordinary times and in ordina
nary cases, no ; objection would be madeto the Com
mitte on Judiciary: but that in the framing of a bill
Tfor the admission of California into' the Union as a
State, some broad, clearly defined and comprehen
sive principle ;would have to be adopted with refer
ence to the question of slavery; and as it was not
unlikely that the constitutionality; of introducing
this peculiar institutution into the new territories
would be tested before our highest jodical trio ulna],
prudence sug4 ; .fested that the bill should be referred
to 'a committee whose indirect decision in the matter
might be the. means of producing much good.

rill!" Sonate met at the usual hour this morning,
the \lmo President in the chair.
reading the Journal Mr. Breese of
Iran the Committee of Public Lands,. reported a
bill auttrocizing a grant of public lands for the con
struction of a railroad in the State of Illinois, which
was read twice and ordered to be printed.
Mr. Miller brotiglit op. hia resolution [see yester
day's report) calling limns the President for any in
formation which he may have lu his po s ses s i o n in
r,i.. reoce to a correspondence with the government
of with the view of purchasing Cuba.
Mr. Berrien was opposed, not,merely to the pea
rogelof this rmmlntinii, hut to the passage °fall res
solutions of n similar character. He believed that
a vni , Wiance oo lite part of the President, in fur
w-h!ng the called for information, might be injori
m, to the public interest,. In all negotiatiumi a
certain degree of prudence should be observed. In
private as well as public atrairs,' much - that was
strictly honorable to its charactet, was concealed,
with the ultimate view of preventing any undue ad,
vantage on the part of others. Besides, by • the
adoption of the resolution the Senate would be indi=
rectly infringing upnn the rights and :prerogatives
of the President. The Constitution vested in him
certain discretionary powers, and until it appeared
that thope powers were used to, the detriment of the
public sbrvice, the Senate 9 should not seek to curtail
or weaken them.
Mr. Miller replied, giving his reasons•somewliat
at length for offering the resolution 19 question.—
tie did not desire to infringe upon the prerogatives
of the President—the least as well as the greatest—
his sole motive was to obtain information on a sub
ject which all classes of our, citizens - felt a lively
interest in, and Nvhich he thought might be commit
, nicated with perfect safety. After some further re
marks, Mr. Miller conscted to let his resolution lie
over.
Mr, Benton moved that the Senate procead to the
consideration of the special order, being the ,bill to
make compensation for the transportation of troops
and supplies, for a limited tima over the Isthmus of
Panama; which motion was agreed to.
litrOlenton stated that at the clues of the debate
Yesterday, a call had been made upon him - by Mr.
Cameron. of Pentisyrvania, for a 'copy of the con
tract made by the government 01:.Neir Grenada with
a company of certain citizens of- inance, in 1838,
for the purpose of constimminval railroad acro-is the
Isthmus of-Panama. This contract was transfered
to Messrs. Aspinwall and their associates. Mr.
Benton stated that he held in his band, and would
submit to the Senate, in compliance with the prom
ise which he made yesterday, to copy of that contract
or grant. Bit befora doing riN he would endeavor
to eolighten Senators who desired to know the terms
of the contract under which Messrs. Aspinwall and
associates, the present memorialists, claim the ex

111 r. Dix is of opinbin that fair Government had
no right, under the treaty with New Grenada, •to
confer the power of cuti.ztructing a read ocruss the
Isthmis of Panama.
Mr. Britton said that the memorialists did not a,d t

These a.ere objections to . the tariffof 1812. The
;eels of decay were deeply implanted within its bo
som at the nimand it came into exiatence. lie had
been opposed to that bill, and exceedingly anxious
for a cmnpromise that might gke-us something. bet
ter. There hadmlice been a certain committe - e or
gnnized for the purpose of compromising the tariff
bill. J.le n as one ofthat committee: he had pro
puled to his friend from North Carolina, the then
chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means,
[Mr. McK A yd:tbat he should give them the tariff
bill whtill he had - reported in,1844, and he (Mr. T.)
would Ave voted for it. No, sir, they would not
agree to this. New lights had been shed upon the
world. Alen had become wiser, perhaps better; they
thought they had at feast—perhaps they were.—
This was refused, although it had been proposed by
what was called the free tradeportion of the coun
try. Ile W it '3 desirous of compromise. Ile wanted
sometiii.ig reasonable and something permanent;
Now, sir, what followedg The tariff of 1846.-'-- -
Sir, (raid Ite,) I opposed this measure, earnestly and
with s i ll tity might; It was a- radical change—a
new' principle—one that I thought wrong, and which,
it r
1f any particulars, I still think wrong. And now,
a r, I go foil a modi fi cation of it; a change to suit the,
IA tots and interests of tile country. I am not wed
ded to dalerthe bill of the 30th August, 1842 - 11 or
to the identical one of August, some date,, of 1846.
I subscribe tothe principle of progress and reform.
What might have been right in ,1842, may have be
come wrong to 1816 awl 1848. Empires have rail
en• down; dynasties become extinct; policy had
changed; revolution in everything hadtalren place,
altering the commerce, the trade, and manufactures
of almost every country in the world. A change in
some—in many things, became, wad necessary, to
is. Wisdom would, and he thought did, dictate
that we should change our systems only' an far as
the changes in times required theM. This was his
doctrine. Notwithstanding his objections to the
tariff of 1846, and that of moat of hie' colleagues, tho
tariff of 1846 . was passed. The: objection :to the
now system:'wis great. The doctrine of a tariff for
revenue, discriminating fur protectioM seemed to
be universally hold. This,Wasn doctrine that all
seemed to go for: protection de an incident to reven
ue,: This is 01 we wantedi he said. But the act
of 1846 discriminated
_against protection, It oper
ated badly, when most needed for protection as well
as revenue. Look at its operation: take, for exam
ple, iron. And he instanced this article, as he VMS
most familiar with it. He put it as an example.—
We will suppose, at the time of: the passage of
that act, that pig metal was selling, for $3O per ton;
the thirty per cent, on that would be a duty of sjitp.,
This was a high duty:—spore than. rives wanted! but I
to the example: When the price of iron abroad
came down to $lB per ton, thirty percent. was e. -
40 duty; U loss of $3 GO cents revenue, as well as
$l2 cheaper by way of compel ition. But if it came
down to s9—and-he'beheved it bad at one time—
then the duty was t 9 70 per ton, and a reductiop of
$3-4 per ton in the price, to facilitate competition.—
Thus, sir, you lust $6 30 revenue per ton, and
,$•_11
protection, if you choose. It diserimintited - against
labor when products were abunditit abroad, and
cheap. We thus become losers of revenue, with
out a shadow of a shade of protection. t '
- Now, sir, what is the remedy for all this? It is
plain. Specific duties—moderate; specific duties—
moderate, not inconsistent with revenue. Takeiron
again as an example; fix a price for it, say $2O or
$35 per tun; calculate it at $2.0, if you pleaae; sav
thirty per cent. on this valuation: this . would be six
dollars. Now, sir, , when it would become abundant
abroad, and should conie in at nine dollars, (the val
uation per ton,) you would still get your six dollars
on the ton; nod the more that sbohld conic in, (the
evidence of superabundanee, , and want of market
abroad,) the more revenue there would accrue to the
country. Let this be the systeni in , regard IQ:the
great articles of manufacture and produce of the
country. Specific duties woold give stability. Our
afrairs would not be made to fluctUate, nuriour rev
enue either.
' ?Ir. C. J. Ingersoll inquired, if his colleagne did
not consider-specific-duties necessary un
wines, MO brandies?
Mr. Thompson said he did not iillOW—he could
not aus‘ver—lie did nut deal in these• articleis.
Mr. C. J. Ingersoll. You nil!, if l you coaidder

Mr. l'hompsou said he could not charge his col
league, for whom he had the highei4l, regard, Nifh
any Want of consistency, fon in the least. But it
seemed to him to be within his recollection, that his
colleague, at thelast sesidon of Congress, propo&f.l
a reduction of duties on liquors to fifteen per cent.
Mr. propfiled it—for• there onght,
no doubt, to be a reduction, but it might to be a le
duction to specific duties: they are a good d r at bet
ter thin your ad valorems.
Mr. Tilorn;, , ,on said he was opposed toad valoretns
ns univer , nlly applied. He thought it n mistaken
policy in every point of sight. lie was in favor of
reasonable specttic duties, hot opposed to miniiraunb.
Mr. Greeley beogvd. the gentleman from Pennsyl
vanil to tell him 'Lw he could hate specific duties
and not toininuonS?
Mr. Thum p,on There was a difference between
the m , h e I I v itig thought lhh framers el 'the
taritr uct of 1812. They fixed by law an artificial
value, witirnit any regard to its real value, nod as
i.esseil a duty equal to its hie iii sonic
without aUy regard to supply, demand, tnai het, or
anything el,e.
Vutcrs. Yun arr. wrnn:r,
111 r. Thompson. , I inn iiot. wrong, I think. The

SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCE.-W LCII the western

platform and jumped or, while the cars were in full
motion. The train was stopped instantly; but on
going back, no trace of the midsing man could ho
found. When the train reached Schenectady. the
engineer and others returned to the spot; but, after
a diligent search in every direction, they returned
without making any discovery. The man could
hardly have escaped injury. and yet not being found,

SATURDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 30, 1848

The California gold fe4r—or as it is vory appropriate
ly named, the yellow fdver—still rages with unabated
vigor in almost every section of the country. People aro
going, or preparing to go, by thousands: and if it receives
no check before spring, our western prairies will' becoino
a well traveled thoroughfare. The route by Chagres
costs too much for the majority of thoqo who will seek
that country, while that'xiround Capp Horn, occupies too
much time, hence the overland route, being cheaper.
and otherwiao better, will ho chosen as route to the
El Dorado of the Pacific. There k a company of young
men now forming here to ,ake this route who propo , e ,
leaving on the Bth of January, and from all sections of the
west, we hear of similar coinpatties of tler young and en
tmprising preparing their rifles and other accoutrements
for the same destination. If we had not ethers depend •
ing upon our labor for support, we'd pack up, bid adi(
to pen, 'scissors, paste brush, and Wan-paying. sulNcribe.4
,and see if amid the sands of California w. could not col•
Weil more of the "filthy lucre" in a year than we can here
in a life limo at publishing a paper. Situated as ire are,
however, we shall try and be content to see and hear{ of
others reaping the golden harvest we, are satisfied is in
store for those who have the enterprise •to grasp it.
Th. following are some of the pa;agraphs wa daily Ne'e
in onr exchanges, calculated to "givci aid- and comfort"
to those who hat•o this species of the ) l ellow fever:

of several American gentlemen for opening a ship caned

The route has been carefully surveyed by an intelligen t
engineer, and found to be porfe l rtly feasible. 'rho grant
is for lifts - years, and can bo extpuled 'to any reasonable
time. The distance across thit Isthmus is about 1;10
miles, of which -ill or 50 .may be navigated, by the riser
Coatzacoalcas, and tviih some enlarging of the Amnia
of the river may be used for a 'still greater distance.

morals. If tho young were not 'provided with harmless

Corrupting amusements. Some parents two so much
