ila ,\ I outlay. '!•" Senate proceeded to
tf consideration ol' a resolution offered by
Mr. C.i*.s, relating to our diplomatic rela
, ,>iis with \ustria. In offering the rOsolu
;.on, Mr. <'• made an eloquent appeal in
Iv'hall ol* oppressed Hungary, and advo
, :I t, 1 the su>p nsion of diplomatic relations
, U '|i Austria for die express purpose of
wounding the pride t>{ that govt rnmeul—
course o! policy which none of our
prcsitle'iis have ever pursued, wisely fol
;,,\v;ntr die advice of Washington in this
p .poet,not to interfere with foreign nations.
\ debate ensued, in which several Sena
,rs took part.
Mr. HALL, of New Hampshire, did not
,# to oppose the resolution of Mr. Cass. He
id nexor listened, with so much satisfaction,
•i any speech, as lie did to that of the Senator
few Michigan, on this resolution, lie was
• retain satisfied in listening to his eloquent
- ceal in the name of humanity. He cordially
screed with the Senator fiom Michigan, when
intimated that the cause of the oppressed
„s5 more sacred when the victim was trodden
■An and trampled under foot, and when he
; that this government, in expressing the
: nmnts of the piople, must sympathise with
: people struggling tor the liberty giyen them
by God, but wrested from them by man. He
with the Senator, also, in the sentiment
it the discussion of this subject will do much
K*ards repressing future aggression upon the
dependence of nations ; and he agreed also
with another Senator, when he said that his
empathies were reserved for the manes of:
inkmd. He was glad that these admissions I
id Ja'.len from other lips. If they had fallen \
■ in him, they would have been called far.a
ucism. \
If the gentleman from Michigan would to- 1
.'ay throw his fortune and his truth into the J
.-jrryiug out of these sentiments, he would
ake for himself a name greater far even than
it which he now enjoys. The gentleman pro- j
sed inquiring into the exp*Mhency of aus- i
ending diplomatic relations with Austria, j
That was a bad term. It should be propriety, ,
-",ce, duty, and not a question of expense.
Expediency was a bad word; and, taken in
section with the Senator's statistics relatiye i
: the unimportance of Austria's commerce, !
a her scarcity -of ports, it amounted to the
n that we can utter a considerable |
ixiount of proper indignation at a very slight '
expense.
I'he Senate, under this resolution, was to
•"-utne itself a high court, to try the nations
-e earth for their crimes of oppression and
::ous acts of despotism, committed under j
: t -;-Bvated circumstances. This was a high
•xer, and the historian, if the resolution was ;
. upon, would in future years write down j
v tins was the most enlightened republic j
x. ever lived or ever will live. Forgetting j
'.tie petty concerns at home, it giavely !
r.,tuted itself a committee to try the na- ■
::.5 of the earth for their crimes. If this was j
: e done, he desired that the historian should j
: -'x that we commenced not with some poor,
r.d rate, foebie power, a difficulty with
.a would cost but iittie; but with Russia, j
a arms it was that conquered Hungary, j
: wanted logo still further back, and inquire
the case of those exiles who were banished j
"ic Siberian snow's.
hi hoped also that the partition of Poland
: .d not be barred by a statute of limitations, '
• that was in the speech of the Senator from j
gn. When begot through with Russia,
t wanted to go to England to inquire into the
I'meat of Ireland and her nobie patriots of
a. w th her thousands of murdered detend
- .Next he would proceed with France and
'.er t< r her acta of despotism, not forgetting
wrongs of Africa. Again, while the conrt
ait'mg, to arraign Spain upon whose ter
' y also the aspirants for civil and political
-"y had fallen. After we had tried all the
'-'■ ens of Christendom, he would desire that
v'j;d bind ourselves aleo to come down
ar high position. We, the model repub- :
'■) stand our trill before acme court of in- j
r.ation. He dii not know, however, who
id try us. We could certainly be tried by
c of those nations whom we had condemned
-■cranse they were not our peers,
oppose, then, the sovereign power of Tur
. w.io, as the Senator from A ichigan (Mr.
is*) say?, has proved himself a better Chris
m than many other powers of the earth, ,
i d agree to constitute a court of indigna
to try us. Suppose, also, he should have j
- x an otnir published near tine place, which j
i r cr-<i that men, women and < hiidrrn, are !
?old here, in this capital of the xnotiel re- |
ic, Washington, bearing the name of the j
•sr of American liberties; would it notop
before that court which tried us, that we
' :>een, and were continuing to be. guilty of
>'rssioris—oppressions great and deep asany
■■'■'a Austria, Russia or France had commit- j
x Truth and Justice would reply in the j
""'•'Stive, and he feared it would appear that j
• sovereign of Turkey was not only a better '
-tian than we, but a better republican j
•'h. CLAY said, an appeal made to him the
'lay by the Senator from Michigan to sid j
in tiii.% proposition, and no less his respect j
..at gentleman and the Senate, demanded i
y. The proposition, either as originally j
''A or with the amendment, was a great
vnveone, as all subjects were which were
*°cted with foreign nffairs. It proposed
mplv the recall of our own minister, but
1 ending out of the country the minister of
'oer power a.ready iiere. Why was it
a resolution of inquiry. All the facts
which the Senator based his proposition
ht-torical. The origin of the war and the
-omenta inflicted were well known to the
ate and tte> country, 'i'he proposition,
-refore, ahouid l>* considered in the same
as a positive direction to some action car
■- out the ultimate object of the resolution,
i e Senate were just ag well prepared as
f if could be, to decide whether we should
r nd diplomatic intercourse with Austria
lie did not believe that the Senator

■ could t,e manifested with much wore

' tyrant. Let the honorable Senator bring
- rne plan by whicfi succor and COHI-
I i)<? given to tbp numerous x ilea who
"• i, ,* ib-cing to tins land from the oppres

•' 'aad <•! suspending diplomatic relations
Aur-trla. he would send to thai govern
urrif. enlightened citi/.en who pj.uld com*
•' cuiif.tfencc of the country. Ihe hon-
orable Senator from Michigan himself, would
*: a most, appropriate person to send on such
an interesting occasion, to sue for some con
sideration for Hungary— to plead her cause,
and endeavor to obtain for her that redress and
cnm-K eration which her wrongs and her braverv
were entitled to. The object of foreign mis
sions was not to benefit the country to which
we send representatives, but to protect Ameri
can interests abroad.
It was proposed, because of our abhorrence
of Austrian butcheries, and Austria's disregard
or Hungarian independence, to famish Amer
ican merchants and sailors—to deprive our cit
izens of whatever advantage might be derived
trom the diplomatic relations existing between
the two nations—such a course could be justi
fied by no argument whatever.
Mr. Clay also vindicated the consistency of
bis present action, ID view of ins former course
with reference to the South American states,
referred to by Mr. Cass in his speech. If it
was proper that the L'ni'ed States government
should take any action on this subject, it might
more justly be had with reference to Russia,
who had interfered upon a Hialiow pretext, and
defeated Hungarian independence when she
had already achieved it.
Air. Clay also proceeded to show by cogent
argument and familiar illustrations, that if the
precedent for the principle in question wss es
tablished, there was no limitation, qualifica
tion or restriction as to how far, or on what
subject, whether religion, morals, or what not,
which could be adopted. The course proposed
to be pursued wa in direct contradiction to
the policy laid down and followed by Wash
ington, and every administration fo the present
time. If we were to become the censors of '
nations, wherefore are we to slop, and why '
should we look to the cause of Hungary alone ? 1
Why not take up the cause of Ireland, and
still more that of unhappy Rome, which had
been alluded to 1
The honorable gentlemen had expressed the
fear that he (Air. Clay) belonged to the stand- !
still school of politicians. He would like to
hear a definition of the progress which the
gentleman had designed to advocate. The i
party of which the Senator from Michigan was
a distinguished disciple, was opposed to the
improvement of our great water courses, also i
to a system of progress which should re
lieve us from a dependence for necessaries of ;
life upon a foreign land. What then diJ he
mean by progress 1
Mr. CI ay feared that the progress which he
advocated was a progression of conquests, ter- ;
riiorial aggrandisement, end foreign wars. If j
so. he thanked God he was of the stand stil! 1
school, as opposed to such a progress as that to
which he had alluded.
In conclusion, Mr. Clay did not think that it
became the Senate to take such unnecessary
and perilous ground as had been pioposed, and
hoped that the Senate would at once reject the i
proposition without reference or hesitation.
In the House 14 ballots have been taken ■
without effecting an election. The last I
ballot stood Forney, loco, 103 : Foote,
whig, 98 : scattering 10.
From present appearances there w ill be
as much difficulty to elect a Clerk as there I
was to elect a Speaker.
Correspondence of the Gazette.
BALTIMORE, Jan'y 8, 1850.
Mr. E DITOR :—Feeling in a very good
humor this morning, I have concluded to
drop you a line or two, in order to induct j
your readers into some of the various inci- 1
dents that have been transpiring within the
past week. The moat important event |
that has come to my knowledge is the fact j
that a live printer has absolutely been j
favored, unlike the common lot of the fra
ternity, with tin- propitious smiles of dame j
fortune, he having fallen iieir to an estate I
in England, valued at SOO,OOO. This
certainly is an anomaly in the history of i
the times ; for a printer with motif-1/ had 1
become so rare a sight, that, it is said,
Barnum, of the Philadelphia .Museum, had
acutually been searching for one, to ex
hibit: as a natural curiosity.
On Sunday morning, the young men
and boys of the city made a regular turn
out, at Spring Gardens, to have a skating
frolic, the ice being tlic-k and in excellent
order. Several hundred had gathered at
one time ; and, of course, numbers of fights i
ensued. In a conflict between two par
ties, who are known by the appellation of
" (,'ock Bobbins" and " Sandy Bottoms,"
several pistols were tired, and no less than
two received serious wounds. Strange as
it mav appear, the police did not interfere,
but suffered these desperadoes to continue
their outrages through the whole day.
The Friendship Fire Company, of this
city, accompanied by their splendi d engine j
and apparatus, last week paid a A isit to i
.New York and Philadelphia, and were
received by the different fire companies of
those cities in the most cordial manner.
They returned again on Sunday morning,
and as they marched from the depot ty
their i ngine house, made quite a handsome '
appearance. Many of the members bore
ocular evidences of the esteem of their !
brother firemen, who they bad visited, in 1
the shape of equipments, beautiful boquets, ,
wreaths, pictures, and die engine was i
literally covered with boquets and wreaths j
bestowed by the New York and Phila-'
delphia ladies, and no doubt these fragrant
mementoes will long be cherished by the ,
recipients with true Maryland gallantry.
Numerous petty larcenies having been
recently committed, our officers were ar
duous in exertions to ferret out the depre
dators, and on Saturday last succeeded in
arresting several of them. I lie bouse in
which they were found being searched,
was found to be a regular variety shop—
cut pieces of calico, cloth, linen, clothing,
I knives, forks, spoons, brushes, castors,
umbrellas, saws, hats, tumblers, drums of
' figs, candies, Ale., A:c., being found in
sufficient abundance to furnish a country
j store.
The < 'alil'ornia fever lias not altogether
j disappeared yet in our community ; every
j vessel bound for San Francisco carrying
i numbers of adventurers to the gold regions.
Two schooners leave our port tflis week
for that country, laden with flour, Ac.
The weather has been extremely cold ;
but very little snow lias as yet fallen.
Yesterday it moderated somewhat, and
rained all day, rendering it quite disagree
able out of doors. 'There is no special
stir in the markets wortli noticing at this
lime. Yours, respectfully, 11.
Lororoco LOGIC. —Mr. Best voted for
himself and is denounced by the locofocos
as a political scoundrel. Mr. lligler, one
of their big guns, once did the same thing
and is a gentleman ! Why this difference
betwixt tweedle-dum and tweedlc-dee ?
A'easpaper Postage.
I he Elkton (Md.) \Y big has a commu
nication from TJi: Jefferson Sutherland oil
the value & improvement of County News
papers, well written and strongly worded,
which closes with the following
PROPOSED RATES OF NEWSPAPER POSTAGE.
1 . To be free of Postage —all newspapers and
magazines, (not exceeding a single copy of each
separate publication,) addressed to the editors
or publishers of an) other newspaper or maga
zines.
1 iiis proposes no change in the present
law, except as to magazines ; and as the
encouragement to County Newspapers
should be given as much in reference to
education as to the circulation of news or
gossip, the magazine exchanges, as well
as the newspaper, should he conveyed in
the mails lree of postage, the magazines
being generally of the higher order of liter
ature.
2. To be free of Postage— all newspapers and
magazines addressed to persons residing in the
counties wherein the same have been printed.
I his would he a change from the pro
visions of the prer enf law ; and one which
the cause of education demands. It would
tend to increase the circulation of the
County Newspapers, and magazines, and
afford a protection to them against the
competition of the city prints and reprints.
3. (hie cent Postage —on each newspaper of
not more than 1400 superficial inciies in size, ad
dressed to persons, other than the editors and
publishers of newspapers and magazines, resid
ing out of the county where the same has been
printed.
This would include all of the large sized
sheets called imperial : a sheet of 31 by 15
inches.
4. YVo rents Po'lage —on each newspaper of
more than 1400 superficial inches in size, ad
dressed to persons, other than the editors and
publishers of newspapers and magazines, resid
ing out of the county where the same has been
printed.
In this class would lie included none
but the mammoth sheets, worked on print
ing machine.-, a class of newspapers which
are mostly r(printa from the tvpe set for
city dailies, and which rely more upon
their imposing size, than the value of the
matter which the papers contain, for their
circulation.
5. One cent Postage —for each ounce in weight
of every magazine addressed to persons, other
than the editors and publishers of newspapers
and magazines, residing out of the county where
the same has been printed.
This provision would place magazines
on the same footing as newspaper.-, for
which there are many good reasons.
REMARKABLE ESCAPE. —A vessel arrived
at Boston last week with a yellow girl, a
slave, belonging in Wilmington, N.
who had been secreted on hoard by the
mate. The vessel had been searched sev- j
end times to find her. The authorities at :
Wilmington smoked the vessel several
times, after loudly announcing that they j
would smother her if she did not show !
herself. It was all unsuccessful. She re- j
mained secure in her hiding place. Dur
ing the voyage the girl was fed in the
watches, without the knowledge of the ,
master.
PERSONAL LlAßlLlTY. —Stockholders of
all the banks in New York are now indi
vidually responsible to the amount oftheir
respective shares, in addition to the shares
themselves, for ail debts and liabilities con
tacted by them. In case of the insolven
cy of any bank, the bill-holdt rs are, by the
constitution, entitled to preference in pay
ment over all other creditors. The above
provisions are alike applicable to the
Safety Fund Banks and to Free Banks.
Notices of the Adjutant General's report. Ca
nal Commissioners' report, and Kditori il Con
vention, are unavoidably omitted this week.
