and whenever the question shall ho fairly

and it is ascertained that the United States

and influence of tho wholo department of
Cuzco, and probably of the whole number
of senators and deputies from the eastern |
proviucosof the republic. Until some ac
tion shall be taken by the government of I
the United States, little can bo done here. I
“However, cn attendant," it would be
well if you were to attempt to organize a
‘company for tho navigation of the South
‘American livers gencmlhj, because,whilst
l we, look at tho Amazon, we should not
I lose'sight of the La Plata. The country
| lying upon the .head-waters of that river is
Shelter populated than that on the conflu
jencO of, the Amazon, and ns far us L can
learn, the commerce with Pnraguuy alone
would amply repay the outlay necessary
to establish a steam company for the wa
ters of the La Plata. Possibly, if steam
ers weremctually plying upon tho Para
guay and Parana, the Brazilian govern
ment might bo better disposed towards us,
and the question of Amazonian navigation
be amicably settled. You may rest ns
sured that If the United States do not move
shorllv in the matter some other naiion
will.
“Even the Bolivians themselves are be
ginning to wake up to ‘he importance of
opening a communication with the Atlan
tic. The subject is touched upon in the
enclosed articles from the ‘Commercio,’
published in this city. The Bahia Ncgra

route to the Paraguay from Chuquisca
(Sucre) would be down the Pilcomayo,
which passes within a few leagues of tho
town. lam not awaro whether that river
is navigablo nor whether the country it
flows through is nt all productive. I pre
sume not, as it traverses the Gran Chaco
desert.
‘>l think that the energies and influence j
of all the friends of South American inter-,
nal navigation and colonization should be I
directed towards forming a company with
a large capital, and to obtain the aid and
support of the Congress of the United
States. I know how difficult an underta
king it is to wring an appioprintion out of
our national legislature for any purpose ;
but if the subject could bo fairly brought
before it, and some of the leading senators
and representatives could be excited.to
toko a patriotic interest in it, perhaps some
thing might be done.
**We must on our side do all we can,
and by dint of perseverance may socceed
at least in accomplishing our object —
Should we do- so, it will be a proud satis

mayi and probably will, leave us to ex
claim, ‘ Hos ego verseculos feei tutis alter

“1 shall continue wording on, and writ
ing to you whenever I liave anything of
the least interest to communicate.”
I think thut from this showing I am en

the Amazon now with Bolivia is not ah ab

which he describe? as, follows:
“Soon nftcr making the first application

Aud tc-dny, in the consideration of the
Message of tlio Chief Magistrate, it be
comes us to respond to his nnnunciation,
commending itself, ns it does, to the uni
versal sentiment of the country, of the
death of the Inst ol these lamented States
men, ns a national misfortune. This mark
of regret and respect was due alike to the
memory of the dead nnd the feelings of
tho living. And l have listened with deep
emotion to the eloquent testimonials in tho
mcntul power and worth and services of
the departed patriot, which to-day have
been heard in this high place, and will be
heard to-morrow, and commended too, by
the American people. The voice of parly
is hushed in the presence of such a nation
al calamity, and the grave closes upon the
asperity oi politicol contests, when it closes
upon those who have taken part in them.!
And well may we who have so ofien wit
nessed his labors and his triumphs—well
may we, here, upon this theatre of his ser
vices and his renown, recalling the efforts
or his mighty understanding, and the ad
miration which always followed his oxer- j
t; on —well may we come with the tribute
of acknowledgement,to his high and diver
sified powers, and to"the influence ho ex
ercised upon his auditory, and in fact upon j
his country. He was indeed ono of those j
remarkable men who stand prominently:
forward upon tho canvass of history, im- j
pressing (heir characteristics upon the ago;
in which they live, nnd almost making if)
their own, by the force of their genius and j
the splendor of their fame. The time 1
which elapsed between the middle of the)
eighteenth century aud our own day, was,
prolific of great events and of distinguish-!
ed men, who guided, or were guided bv !
them, far beyond aDy other equal period!
in the history of human society. Hot, in,
my opinion, even this favored epoch hasj
produced no man possessing a more mas-]
sive and gigantic intellect, or who exhibit-j
ed more profound powers o[ investigation j
in the great department of political science, j
to which he devoted himself in all its vari
ous ramifications, than Daniel Webster.—
Tho structure of his mind seemed peculi
arly adapted to the work lie was called up
on to do, and ho did it ns no other man of
his country—of his age, indeed—could,
have done it. And his name nnd his fame
are indissolubly connected with some of
the most difficult und imnortant questions
which our peculiar institutions have called
into discussion. It was my good fortune
to hear him, upon one of tho most memo-,
rahle of occasions, when in this very hall, |
filled to overflowing with an audience
whose rapt attention indicated his power
and their expectations, he entered into, an
analysis of the constitution and of the great
principles of our political organization,
with a'vigor of argument, a forco of illus
tration, and a felicity of diction which have
rendered this! effort of his mind one of the
proudest monuments of American genius,
undone of the noblest expositions which
the ‘operations of our government‘Have
called, forthi I speak of the general effect,
without, concurring in all the views hepre
sented; though the points of difference
neither impair my estimate of tho speaker,
nor of the pdwOr lie displayed in this elab

The judgment of his cotemporaries upon j
the character of his eloquence will he con
firmed by tho-future Historian. He grasp
ed the questions involved in the subject
before him with a rare union of force und
discrimination, and he presented them in
in an order ofnrrangement marked at once
vvitli, great perspicuity and with logical
acuteness ; so that, whenhearriyed at his

“I 8 * m ee l' n g of tho “Clearfield Debating
t-'tub,” and listened with interest to an el
tion^,nt SCUB3 ' on °C following ques
“Dae the Indian more cause of com
plaint of his treat mcm at tho hands of tho'
\yhite man than the negro.”
The affirmative argued
lu* j at l l? e Ilians had been in effect'
robbed of their lands—had, been driven
from them by force or compelled to evac-’
uate them by treaties to which they had’ : -
assented while under the influence of the
intoxicating bowl given them by the White
man for the very purpose of getting vhei r
assent to a bargain favorable to the whitest
2d. That intemperance and its dire con*
sequences had bebn sown among them by
the whites.
3d. That unnecessary and unjustifiable
wars had been waged against them.
That the effect of all these influences
combined is to degrade the Indian physi
cally, morally, and politically, and that it
is rapidly exterminating the rqce. ..This
was urged as the ground of the Indian’s
complaint.
It was denied by the affirmative that the
Negro has any just causo ofcbmplnint in
asmuch us his situation as a slave in this
country was far better than that in which
ho was found in Africa. That wherever
tho straight Imircd man was found with the
wooly-head, the latter were found slaves'
to tho former. The offirmajjve attempted ■
to show that the wooly-headed race exists
in slavery in fulfillment of Scriptural .
prophecy—and that the only portion of the
blacks converted to Christianity was the
slave in our own country.
The negative, while they did not deny
all ground of complaint on the part of tho
Indian, yet contended that it had been
highly exaggerated by the affirmative—
that the Indian had been satisfactorily paid
for his lands—that his natural disposition'
was that of empity to the whites, implaca
ble and unrrierciful—that their treachery
and wars upon the whites, had compelled
our government to adopt this policy of
buying their lands and peaceably remov
ing them to a home which they hnd pro
vided ior them where they can enjoy their
own habits and customs unrestrained by
tho presence of the whites.
The ground of complaint in behalf of
the Negro was chiefly based upon his sit
uation us a slave. The laws of several of
the States sustaining Slavery, were brought
forward exhibiting the most atrocious cru
elty and wrongs toward the slave.’ The
affirmative could not well deny the severi
ty of these laws, for the laws themselves
were produced by the negative. They
only replied contending that these'laws
had heen rendered qecessary by the con
duct of the Abolitionists. Thus the affir- 1
mative inadvertently aided the negative,
lor the Abolitionists beinggeberally whites,
the affirmative in attributing these severe
laws to them, of course blamed white men
for the evil.
The evils of slavery were depicted in
glowing colors, but I did riot consider the
picture too highly colored. The negative
who showed that in many of the States
the laws regarding the poor blacks were,
extremely severe and unjustifiable, depriv
ing them, not only of civil rights, but o
the means of educating their children.
The negative also contended that ther
was no nntural inferiority in the negi
race, as compared with the whites—tht
with the same advantages, the same dr
gree of intellect would be developed inte
former as the latter. Fred. Douglass
Mr. Ward, were brought forward as 0.-
nmples. The effect of slavery was pitt
ed to be to keep them in utter ignonjce
and degradation.

tive was completely cupsisedand fe to
