that the clititate of India is

Blind gOieration ;* ttlit } e, therefore, India cannot
be-colonized by Euiopeaus; and En.u.sistrAst
pionsly'adds 1 "Providence thus seems to an-'
noisnatto the world that India belongs to the
natives Of India;: and to affix 'the seal of His

;;. - Theretnio, he 'declares, if 'lndia; cannot be
,cOlonizod, she sting. be free, or else held in
subtactfon, by military force. Till within a
comparatively recent - period, he says, "India
was free (fine, from foreign control,) and then
:India was rich, prosperous, powerful—a bone
'fnetress to the' world. She governed 'herself
as wisely and as Well as many European States
govern themselves 'at present." This is an
assertion without proof, a mere begging of the
qyeatio n, wbat scholiasts call a petitio principii.
We cannot, and vin wilt, not believe, against
the
-records othistory, that, even including the
career orMahotnet, India has been "a bents-
Mc:tress to-the world" since the commence-
Merit of . the Christian era, or that the petty
Jovereigntiest into which she was formerly
brolten tip were governed wisely or well.
,- The next point raised is—shall India con
tinue to be ruled .by, foreign force, or shall she
Iti 'permitted to resume her independence ?
And it is 'boldly aseerted that "the worgdnative
- Government - is better than the best foreign
Goiernment" there. If India resume her in
dependence, Simply because she once possess
ed it, there may be raised a plea, on like
grounds;' for France surrendering Burgundy,
which once was a ducal sovereignty; for Eng
land , going 'lack to the Iteptarehy ; for the
United: States immediately reverting to the
Indians who were the original occupants.
- to order to bring - about the desirated result;
to remove foreign sway; to restore the old
land system, -"with its security, its equity,
and its efficiency;" and to cover the face of
the land, once more, with "little district re
publics, with their simple forms (I) and wise
regulations" (!!) Mr. BUCHANAN is invited
"to take the initiative in the accomplishment
Of the great work of the pacification of India,
and her restoration to freedom and indepen
dence, to Invite delegates from the great
rowed of Europe, to meet in conference; and
invoking the blessings of God to establish the
"following regulations:
"First.. That this English possessions shall be
reduced to the limits within which they stood pro
viativi to Ctivit's fitrgary, and the deposition of Su
rajah Derviah. ,
Be - cond. That the French possessions shall re
main undisturbed, unless it be the will of the in
.habitanta_to be rid of the French yoke.
- Third: That the ports of Bombay, Calcutta,
,and Madrasshalt be free ports, under the collective
guaranty of the groat powers.
„Fourth. That the people of Misdostan shall be
called upon to establish a native government,
under what form soever they may choose, and that
the government so formed shall he placed under
the protection of the great powers, and so continue
until the year 1000, or for such longer period as to
the government ofllbidostan shall seem desirable.
. . Two allusions here fiesta va explanation. In
1757,.1.mrd-Omvs,,whe had been lighting - with
SueLt,7o,lsowtatt, the nabob of Bengal, and
beatenisim•.into terror of the British arms,
discrel-nied that, violating the treaty ho had

breach of faith, CLIVE entered into a con
spiracy tn depose SURAJAH DOIMAII, and plaCe
sifissit . JAPPIER, his generalissimo, on the
throne. „This, was effected,. and after the
battle of Pigesoy, Stwisaan was killed, al-
Most , in the presence at hia successful rival:
' In the nevitiationi against bins, Clavr was
assisted by a ilirldoo merchant of wealth .and
inljnetten named ONHOIWND, Who stipulated 10

114.51 . . • ••,, •.• •
Mr. Sicur.ka said : Mr. ChafrMan, it Was hot
my desire to take any parkin this discussion. in Its
present stage, tor Should I have allowed myself
' to'be diverted from that purpose, but for the- cX,
traordinary turn which the debate took yesterday.
Propositions were advanced, from distinguished
sources, censures' were Impoited, the /Wm - Mistra l
tion condcinned,' the conduct of eminent otlicert
of the• public service denounced—without facts,
without a retard before us, upon a very imperfect
knowledge of the state of the case, and in advance
'Of that requiattion width - we bad made upon the
Executive for such information as would enable
the Mouse` to come to a Just conclusion upon a
grave public question.
Nor shall I permit myself now, in advanee'of the
information which we all need, and 'which cannot
ho long delayed, to imitate the gentlemen who have,
preceded the in going into a full discussion of the
question before the committee upon all its merits,
Isbell content myself at tbis time by patting on re
cord my dissent from someOf the propositions which
have been advanced,' to which I cannot accord
an approval, and with which I do not believe the
House will over concur.
-Why, sir if we bad been listening to a discus
sion in a House of Representative,' convened by
Mr. President Walker, in Nicaragua, we could
not have hoard doctrines more peculiarly in uni
son with his theories of government, .ns illus
trated there, or more directly in conflict with the
policy and history of our Goverdment, than we
were forced to listen to on yesterday in this Hall.
We were told that the neutrality act of woo
unconstitutional ) - was inconsistent with the the
ory of our 'Government, and at war with the
principles of our people. As I had read the his
tory of my contry, I had taught myself to believe
that the policy' embodied in the neutrality act of
ISIS was the policy handed down to us from 0 one
ral Washington, and perpetuated in our statutes
from the Administration of Washington down to
the present day—the cherished policy of the Ame
rican people, never dissented from by any Admin
istration or by any party. Have wo forgotten that,
within a very recent period, we have had all .the
principles oinbraced in the neutrality not presented
to ,tho House tied to the country in the enlistment
question In which we WON Involved told, the Go
voroment of Great Britain? nave we forgotten
that Mr. Crampton, her envoy, was dismissed be
eatbe he had committed an act.tn violation of the
provisions of the law of 1918? I bad supposed that
tip whole country sustained the wisdom and firm
ness of the Nxecutive in that unforeetnent of the
traditional policy of tho United States not to per
mit either Its own eiticens or the eitlaens or the
representatives of any Power, great or small, to
compromise the neutrality of the United States
with reference to any nation with whom we were
ut peace.. • • , ,
- Nor must welbrget that we have made treaties
with various powers, in which we have entered
into stipitulations based upon this very statute,
and of the policy of. which it, is the exponent.
The moot recent of these—and I will net detain
the committee_ by reference to ethers—are ,the
treaty with New Granada, and, Lig rumor has It--
we have no ettielal information on the Subject as'
yet—the treaty with Nicaragua. In the treaty
with Now Granada we have guaranteed to that
Republic the neutrality of the route across the,
Isthmus of Panama. We have entered into stipu
lations to guarantee and maintain and protect that
neutrality, more especially against any hostile
acts perpetrated by our own citizens, or those
claiming to be such.
Nor was I less surprised to hear the doctrine
promulgated, that the executive authority of the
United States was not authorized to send out the
naval forces upon the high seas, to capture our
citizens who had violated our laws. it was main
tained that this authority could not be extended
beyond a marine league.
This power has been asserted by all parties anti
all administrations. We have never before heard
it seriously questioned that the Government of
the United States bad that power and that right;
and such is the general principle of public law.
The authorities are cited by Wheaton, by whom
the doctrine is thus stated,:
..110th the public and private vessels ((every nation
on the high seas, and out 01 . 00 territorial limits of nay
other State, are subject to the jurisdiction of the State
to which they belong. ,, —lneafen's In terso tionnt Lace
putt 2, chap 2 Nee. 10,
"title jurisdiction is exclusive only so far as respects
offences against the municipal lawflof the State to which
the vessel belongs "—)Lid , part 4, chap 3, ace 18.
ItaVe the gentlemen forgotten the treaty for
the t , mepression of the slave trade on the coast of
Africa, in which the prinoiplo is distinctly recog
nized ? In that treaty wo agree to sund a squad
ron of not lose than eighty gone upon the court of
Africa for the purpose of exercising a police over
those waters; and a police, not limited to those
waters, but extending over all seas, for the pur
pose of suppressing that infamous traffic. I will
rend the article from the treaty :
The parties mutually stipulate that each shall pre
pare, eqinif, and maintain In service, on the coast of
Africa ' a safttelout and adequate squadron, or naval
force of vessels, of suitable numbers and descriptions,
to carry in all not leas than eighty guns, to enforce,
separately and respectively, the laws, vistas, and obit
etions of each •f the two countries, for the suppres
sion of the slave trade, the sat f squadrons to be inde
pendent of each other, but the two Government , ' stipu
lating, neveribeloss, to give such orders to tho wilco.
commanding their respective forces as 011.'1 enable thous
ino,t effectually to het in connect and co•operation upon
mutual consultation, as exigencies am arise, for the
attninment of the true object of this article ; copies of
all each orders to be communicated by each Government
to the oats r, respectively —T, ea ty with Great Britain,
1802, article 8
But it memo that in distinction is to be drawn
with reference to the particular expedition of
Walker, because it to claimed that lota woe a peace
fal enterprise when it sot out from our shores;
that it. embarked in vessels that were not armed;
that the men were not organized into platoons, and
companies, and regiments • that arms bad not been
furnished to them; and flint, therefore, neither the
judicial nor the executive power of the Govern.
Daunt could be invoked to arrest the expedition,
or punish those who were engaged in it.
I need not remind tho Nouse that in every such
expedition the question of intent is the ono to bo
considerod.. With what intent was the expedition
of Walker organized.' With what intent did it
set out front our shores? With what intent did it
tend upon the shores of Nicaragua? Sir, it would
be an offence against the good sense of the House
to add anything to an argument already so plain,
to prove that that expedition set out from our
shores with the intent to make war; with the in•
tent to take property and life within the State of
Nicaragua, with which we had just made a treaty
of amity and friendship. It is a notorious fact,
that instantaneously upon the landing of the expe
dition in Nicaragua, acts of hostility were per
peyote& men were ;hot down, and property Was
seized.
I have no desire to eharaoterize offensively the
the conduct of Ur. Walker or his men. I shall
merely apply to them the characterization which
all writers on publio law, and the duticsof nations.
apply to such acts. Every ono of these writers
calls such conduct robbery and murder :
“ rot the citizens of the United States, then, to corn
ttnurders and depredations on the members of other
nations, or to combine to do It, appeared to the AOPTI
con (lovernment as much against the laws of tho howl,
ee to MONOr or rob, or to combine to murder or rub,
their own citizens • and as much to require punishment,
IC none within their limits, alter° they had a to; ritorial
jornodtction ; or on the high lens where they had a per
soma jurisdiction; that is to Ilan one which reached
their own citizens only; this being an appropriate part
of each nation, on AU element whore each has a common
jurlsdletion.”
Nova.-llr. Jefferson's letter to Mr. enet, June
17th, 170x.—American State Papers, volume 1, page
150. Eleatenti of International Law, by Wheaton,
third edition.
The expedition set out, it is true—at least I will
assume it to be true, as a concession to the other
side—without the mon having arum on their per
sons. I will assume it to be true that the vessels
in which they sailed wore unarmed. lint, sir, our
own judicial records show, that although me
expedition may be thus artfully organized, and
though attempts may ho thus made to evade the
neutrality laWs, and to compromise the good faith
of our Government, yet such evasions and such
contrivances aro not suffered to screen the persons
who resort to them from the consequences of their
acts. This ground is distinctly taken in a ease
adjudicated by the Supreme Court of the United
States. I refer to the ease of, the United States
we, Quincy, reported in G Peters. In that ease the
defence relied upon the grounds that there were no
arms upon the men, and that there were no arms
on board the ship. But the Supreme Court held,
in that case, that it was a question of intent; that
If the whole conduct of the expedition—what it did
after it set out as well as what it did before—
showed that their intention was to levy war against
a people or, nation with whom we were ut, peace,
the offence came within the moaning of the act, of
1818, and the parties wore rendered amenable' to
Har ries.

sir, there is a wide difference between ;for—
tifying as legal, and as within the line of °Metal
duty, an act like that of Commodore Paut.i N,
there is a wide difference, between such justiOtcp;
tion, and the denunciation which has boon heaped'
upon him, and the disgrace, which is invekod
upon his head. He acted, undoubtedly, ac
cordance with what he oonspieutkinsly toilsoied
to be ihe spirit of his intimations. Ile luta tiijosiii
to bellovo that. the United States GevormusAt re
garded that expedition as unlawful; he bad tiso-'
eon to believe that tho portions composing' it itriti,
escaped the' ezeeutive ludtclal ruithorilicisAti
horns, and wore oomprousTsing the neutrality Of
the United States, and that he would conform to

his people at Immo if 110 prevented a scheme of
aggression and outrage against a nation with
which we were at ponce, and with whioh we had
just made n treaty of amity and friendship.
Sir, this is not the first instance in vadat' a tom
mender of our forces has exceeded hie instruc
tions in accomplishing an object which ho knew
to be dear to the nolioy of dais Government at
home. We can never forget the time when Gen.
Jackson passed over into the territory of
Spain and seized upon her forte and arrested her
citizens, end hung some of them upon the first
tree ho met with. Row was idle conduct regarded
by the Government of Mr. Monroe? how was
it afterwards regarded by the American people
Was he recalled in disgrace? Was he arraigned
by those who should net have arraigned him upon
the floor of the house of Representatives? No,
sir. President Monroe, in communicating that
transaction to Congress, in his annual meow,
drew a careful lino of distinotion between an net
of nggression against the Government and terri
tory of Spain and the act of General Jackson in
preventing her citizens and her forces,which were
adjacent to our own territory, being employe it in
acts of hostility against our own people. Every
pre' umption was made in favor of General Jack
son, and rightfully made. And that, sir, was /I
transaction involving principles and involving con
duct of an infinitely graver character than any
thing we have yet heard imputed to Commodore
Paulding.
I will rend a brief extract from that portion of
President Mouton's message relating to Mojor
General Jackson's movements in Florida during
the first Seminole war, and while Florida be
longed to Spain :
"In entering Florida. to suppress tide combinttkm,
no idea was entertained of hostility to Spain, awl lien
ever justifiable the commanding general was, in cisme.
quence of. the misconduct of the Spanish officers, In en
tering St. Marks and Pensacola, to &domino it by
proving to the savages and them associates that they

While so much hue been "aid in condemnation
of Commodore Paulding by those who, I think,
ought at least to hare waited the exhibition of the
whole cause before they launched their censsre,
nothing seems to be said in reference to the ton
duet and position of Walker himself. It cannot
be forgotten that only a few months ago the naval
forces of the United States rescued this 211111
Walker from certain death ; rescued him from his
enemies, by , whout he was beleagured, by whom
he had been TeduciA almost to starvation; res
cued by like usurpation of authority, if you please,
Inspired by motives of humanity, of generosity,
of patriotism, and sympathy with a fellow.econ
trynaan, Captain Davis exerted his 'authority; in
terposed hie good offices, assumed the responsi
bility of negotiating with the forces which had
invested and subdued Walker, and save aim
from a doom whieb nil would regard with horror,
and brought Lim home and restored him to his
friends.
Soon after that event, Walker addressed a lever,
which was published all over the land, to the Pre
sident, or to General Chios, the Secretary of State,
(I do not remember precisely which,) in whio's he
pledged his honor that be was not engaged, nor
would lie become engaged, in getting up nay ex
peditiou against Nicaragua, or in doing any act
inconsistent with the laws of the United Stoles.
and especially the neutrality act of BIS.
Ile went through the country, to he sure, in.
yoking sympathy as far as it was possible for him
to obtain it for himself. But, sir, ho loft in \iea
ragua a devoted battalion of deluded followers for
whom no appeal was ever heard from him; and
while organizing anew, against his own plighted
honor, against the policy of his tioverinnent. and

to go through the same scones in Nicaragua, that
gallant baud which he left there, when so re l eued
hy the hinnithity,of our own navy, was left to die
amidst the perils and sufferings trots which he had
been s wed.
Now, sir, I think the country is entirely (MN
both from the past career of the President of
tho United States in tho counoils of the country,
its well as from the development of his policy in
his annual 'message, that, with regard to Central
America, ho is fully ulivo to all the intercity of
our people, so far no they nth Cennooted with those
Republics, and with the Isthmus, as the great
highway of a largo portion of the common° of
the world. Tho Executivo has Shown every dis•
position, by the formation of treaties, by the
oultivation of kind and frutornal relations with
those . people, and those tiovorninonts, to aid in

that Isthmus, so as to secure to our coninieres and
to our people all the various 'advantages which
peace unit neutrality and friendship on tin, put of
the Republics 0( Central Atuorica can secure , 0 us.
While this to the ease, is it nnything other than
madness, is it anything other than treason ta the
bust Interests of the country, for mon to organize
lawless expeditions for thin purpose of going to
those territories and making war there upon their
own account, embroiling our country in now con

A BAnistnt MEETS WITH A Dirt:tr.—Mr. Aaron
Legg, an accomplished '• barker," was yestei day
standing at the door of his employer's clothing
store, in South street, making the air vocal with
Importunate appeals to the personal vanity of all
who happened to pass by, when lie perceived a
middle-aged individual In very slovenly attire,
and with a very tall-crowned white hat, standing
as if absorbed in admiration of Mr. Lagg's elo

shoulder, conducted him in, without meeting with
the slightest resistance.
"Shall I show you some splendid pantaloons, or
magnificent vest or coat ?" blandly inquired
Mr Aaron Legg.
" Whichever you chow° I—its all the same to

Pleased with the tractable disposition of his
customer, Aaron produced an overcoat, decorated
with a double row of huge bone buttons, and
made of a matorlal much resembling blue baire.
" llere," said ho, " is the very last Paris style;

"John Granby is my name," quietly observed
the stranger.
"Pall, Mr. Granby, you cannot have any ob

"Oh no, I haven't the least objection against
it," ash! Mr. O.
" Very well," continued Legg; "you'll want a
handsome vest, fit to wear with such a coat. Some
thing like this."

The Leather Trade.—Thu leather trade in
this city during this past year, has experienced'
greater fluctuations than for many years previous
Badness in January opened promisingly, awl
prices advanced, gradually, until they reached •
point seventy-five pet cent. higher than the Tulin eg
prices of any former year. An increased dernau
for all kinds of harness and bridle leather for th e
use of the armies in the Crimea, was supposed tole'
the main cause of the edvance in price that imme
diately followed the declaration of war by France
and England against Russia. Whether this was
the lint or not, it is very oviduct that the prise of
leather advanced rapidly from the moment war ,
was declared by those powers. and that it speedily
declined upon the eessasion of the same.
ilidee have fallen fifty per cent within the year,
and Leather twenty-five per cent., and when the
stock of Miles, now in progress of tanning, is
brought into market, a still greater telling off in
the price of Leather ninst inevitably occur, unless
a very large demand for the manufactured article
should, through any circumstances, happen. which
is not probable. within twelve mantilla. Notwith
standing the unprecedented reductiOn in prices,
and the panic , of the past few months, but few
Loather-houses have gone down before the blast.
And it is a source of gratification to the trade to
know that the Leather laouees have borne them
selves bravely up amid the storm that has wrecked
so n i nny excellent business firms, and engulphed
them iu the sea of penury and distress.
While Bides rule so much less than heretofore,
limit Skins have only slightly declined. This is
attributed to the present mutiny of the Sepoys, as
the great bulk of limit Skins is imported f r o m
India; and the billy districts, from whence the
skins are obtained, are those which were first
taken possession of by the mutineers, and conse
quently but a limited number of skins melt Cal
cutta and Madras for exportation.
Sheep Skins have experienced a still greater de
cline than Irides In January lest they brought
S2.A per dozen, whereas they are now selling at
front 50 to 73 cents per dozen. and, as a matter of
course, all kinds of roans and linings have receded
in a like proportion
Morocco, on the eontrary,in consequence of the
prices of ()oat Skins being maintained. hos not de
eline,kin value In fact, if any sudden demand
were to Fining up, the prices would advance, as
but a very limited amount has been manufactured
the past three months
There is - invested in the Hide and Leather tool
nine in this city a capital of not less than too
millions of dollars; and in the manafacture of
Moroeco and Sheep Skins at least five hundred
tho u sand dollars Moreover, a steady increase of
the trade in Philadelphia lass been erperieneed
up to the present 3 ear ; and from the facilities of
procuring all that is necessary for the manufacture
of Leather, and especially on Account or the supe
rior quality of the Schuylkill water for the mann
facturi of Leather and Meroetm, the city is des
tined to'become the great Leather manufacturing
oily of the United States.
To thin city dealers and manufacte errs from
