TREMBLlS6.—Testerday the Cordeliers made a
deperate appeal to the Natives, to drop their candi
date and support the party that issued the address
charging them with knavery and faLtekood. _
The Cordelien are in a most unpleasant dilemma,
and they cannot discar . ver any practicable means of ex
tricating themselves. They find they have made some
misrnoves, and it is now too late to rectify them.
First, it was wrong fur Mr Howard to issue an ad
dress characterising the natives as knaves and liars.
Secondly, it was wrong in the convention that nom
inated Mr Howard, not to say something in favor of
"our Bible and oar Flag."
Thirdly, it was wrong for Mr Howard's friends to
thfeatun to prosecute any one who would refer to his
"re/igioes opinions," while they studiously refrained
from letting the public know what his religious opia-
ions were.
The whigs made many other blunders in the present

Moe 'TROD. CON SIIRACT 70014 D OUT: N York,
on Thursday there were arrested four colored men, Wm
Waks alias Bombay, Jeremiah Simmons, Geoffrey O
verton and Samuel Finney, on complaint of another
colore i man named Geo D Morse, whose life they had
threatened to take. The circumstances attending the
cape, the News says, are as follows. It appears that
a conspiracy had been formed amongst the colored in
habitants of Princess Ann County V.l) to murder the
white population of that portion of the eastern shore
and such of the blacks as would not join with them in
their deeds of murder in the course of the holidays.—
Several negroes in N York, were cognisant, if not actu
ally engaged in aiding the instagents, and one of the
number, named Hodges, had goite thither to take a
part in carrying out the plan.
The facts of the contemplated insurrection and the
names of several engaged in it, having come to the
knowledge of Morse, whose parents live in the see
tion of the country referred to, and for whose safety
he felt alarmed, he wrate or caused to be written, a
letter to the authorities of Virginia, communicating
all he knew on the subject, which led to the arrest of
Hoolges, and several implicated in the matter. Wales,
Simmons, Overton and Finney, having by some means
been apprinedof what had transpired, suspected
Mom of having communicated the information to the
authorities, became se enraged against him as to
threaten tomake his lifer, whereapon he applied to the
Police, who causeß them to be arrested and held to
bail in the sum of $5OO earth.

WASH I lU;TOH, Jln. 3, 1 345 -
- SENATE. •
The Senate was not in session to-day, having ad.
journal! to Monday, in order to give the standing corn
mittees an opportunity of bringing up their business.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Mr C J Ingersoll moved to go into committee of the
whole, fur the purpose of taking up the Texas resolu
tion. The motion prevailed—yeas 107, nays 63.
.The committee then took up the joint resolution for
the Annexation of Tees', reported from the-committee
ou Foreign affairs. t hey provide for the annexation
on the basis of the late treaty, after which, should the
supreme authorities of Texas agree, our President is to
issue his proclamation to that effect.
Mr Ingersoll rose and made a fair statement of the
Texas affair as it now stands. He slid be should not
proceed to defend the measure of annexation until it
s hould be a ssailed. Ho alluded to a curious fact. viz:
That the question of annexation has been more discus:
red in the journals of Europe than in this House. It
bad also been fully discussed in our own country every
whore except in the House. After explaining several
pet sotuilmattere. he said it was a forcible argument in
favor ofannexation that public sentiment, in neatly ew I
ory portion of the Union, has fully and fairly come up
to it. He appealed to all whether it was not the case
that Louisiana did not by any means come into the U
nion with such a prepond.eance cf public sentiment as
there 'snow with regard to Texas. The war of 1812
was conducted with less force of public sentimem than
now exists on the question of annexation. This being
the case, where public sentiment is law, he considered
himself in the performance orbit duty in thus bringing
the subject forward. It was tho duty of Congress to
effect this measure, if it could be done. From the vari
out propositions for annexation, it was evident that
Texas had many friends in the House. For himself.
be was committed to no particular plan. He would go
for any plan which might meet the support of the
House. There was no radical difference in any of the
!tans which would deter him foe supporting either.
Phis was not only a Texas question. As such he de
famed to the will of the South. It was oat only a
Southern question, but a boundary question, a slavery
question, end if those immediately interested prefersd a
treaty elan, he would go fur it. It was, however, either
same time. a national question. He then touched up
on the retinas considerations, whether national ar oth
erwise, which render the annexation desirable. He
doubted whether the intellect existed which could
frame a fair argument against the measure. Ever
since Texas was surrendered for the cession of floe
ida, every Administnoion had been trying to get it
back again. The Governmem would be far more prow
perons and 'table with even forty new States, than it
was with the old thirteen. There was no dangertob•
feared from the enlargement of territory. As for ale.
very, he believed that by the annexation of Texas; it
could ant be increased. It must decrease, and probe
bly will be destroyed.
After further remetka, Mr I. referred to the fears
of a rupture with Mexico in case of annexation. With
• regard to this he was happy to inform the House, from
high official authority, that there would be no danger
whatever of • nipture. He alluded significantly to
"money, , as being the means of r econciliation with
Mexico. ;He also, from the same high official author
ity, suited that there would be no fear of a rupture
with Greet 'Britain in case of annexation. This be
ing the ease, it would be a peaceable annexation.—
All that was wanted was hammy among members
themselves.
The expiration of his hour cut of Mr L at a vet,
Interesting portion of his speech.
Mr. Balmer followed. After some interesting re
marks, he observed that theme was no parallel case is
the history of the cotntry. Ile therefore took a re
view of the spirit of -der institutions, with h view of
reasoning from analogy, and thus establishing the
proposition, that annexation is not only expedient but
legal and constitutional. A great portion of his speech
wee dimcted to an attempt to prove that the legisla
tive power of this government has the rig*/ to annex
a foreign territory.
When he concluded, the committee rose art report
ed progress.
Mr. Tibbats, on leave, introduced his bill author
izing the people of Texas to form a State Government.
and for the admission of iamb State into thellnion.-
- Also, a joint resolution for the protection of Texas
until such time as the question of atotexation shall
have been definitely settled. They were severally
read twice and referred to a committee of the whole.
Mr. Balser also offered a joint resolution for annex•
ation, which was ordered to he printed.
