Debate on Cass' Resolution. -
Gen Oa--.0 has recently introduced into the U. S.
Senate a Tesolution to instruct - the Committee on
Foreign Relations to inquire into the expediency of
suspending diplomatic relations with Austria, on ac
count of the barbarous and oppressive treatment of
the Hungarians ty that Government. Mr. Cass
has made a strong speech upon it, urging the pro
priety of withdrawing all intercourse with Austria,
which has been published at length in some of the
papers, and Lag ily commended` for its ability and
patriotic sentiments. Other Senators however,
while going as far as Mr. Cass in condemning the
barbarous course of Austria toward Hungary, dis
sent from the expediency of inflicting such an in
' jury to our own commerce as to shut up all inter
! course with that government. Among these Mr.
Hale the distinguished Free Soil Senator from Nqw
Ham • -hire made some able remarks which are re-
•, .
DUI
pose the resolution of Mr. Cass.• •
He had never
listened With So much satisfaction to anr speech,
as he did to that of the Senator from Michigan. on
This resolution. lie was more than satisfied in
listening to his eloquent appeal in the name of hn- .
manify. He cordially agreed with the Senator from
Michigan. when he intimated that the cause of the
oppressed was more sacred when the victim was
trodden down and trampled under foot—and when
he said that this government, id expressing the sen
timents of the people, must sympathize, with a
people struggling for the liberty giVen thorn by
God, but wrested, from the. by man.- Ile agreed
with the Senator, also, in the sentiment that the
discussion of this subject will du much towards re
pressing future aggreasion upon the independence
of nations; an I he agreed also with another Sena
tor. when he had said that his sympathies were re
served for the masses of mankind. He was glad
that these admissions had fallen from other lip_ If
they bad fallen from him - , they would have been
called fanatacism.
If the gentleimm from Michigan would to-day
throw his fortune ; and his faith into the carrying
out of these sentiments, he would make for himself
a. name greater far even than that which bellow
cnjuvs. The gentleman proposed impairing into
the expediency of suspending diplomatic rel4tions
with Austria. Tiu.t was a bad term. It should be
propriety. justice., duty, and not, a qnestion of ex
pense. Expediency was a bad word ; and, taken in
connection with the Senator's statistic.; relative to
the importance of Austria's commerce, and her
scarcity of-port, it amounted to the annunciation
that we can utter a considerable amount of proper
indignation at a very slight expense.
Theenate. under this resolution, was to consti
tute itself a high. Court, to try the tuitions of the
earth for their crimes of oppression and att'ocious
net s of despotism, committed undereggravafed cir
cumstances. This- was a higher power, and the his
torian, if the resolution was acted upon. would in
future years write down that this was the most en
lightened Republic that ever lived or ever will live.
Forgetting the little petty concerns of home it.grave

Again, while the Court was sitting to arraign Spain,
upon whose territory else the aspirants for civil and
political liberty had fallen. After. we had tried - all
the nations of Christendom, he would desire that
we should hind ourselves also to come down from

was it made a resolution of inqui ? All the facts
upon which the Senator based his proposition weie
historied. The origin of the wa and the punish
ments inflicted were well known o the Senate and
the country. The proposition, th ilefore, should be
considered in the same light as a positive direction
to some action earrying out the ltimate object of
- the resolution. .
The'Senate were just as well reparcd as ever
it could be, to decide whether wel should suspend
diplomatic interrourso with Austria or not. - He
did not believe that the Senattfrom Alabama,
i.
tKing) if he had given this his nual careful' con
sideration, could give it his sane i r on. He referred
to the eloquent: language in -which Mr. Cass had
set forth the sufferings of Himgart, and said, that
there was airoilier way in which lthe detestation of
Austria's course could be manifested with .much
more benefit to those who had been trodden down
by the tyrant. Let the honorable Senator bring
forward some plan by which succor and comfort.
could be given:to the numerous, : f.xiles.who were
now fleeing. to this land from the 'Oppression which
they vainly endeavored to repel,inid the gentleman
would find hini ready to• advocate it with all the
power he possessed. i i•
Instead of suspending diplomatic relations with
Austria, he Would send. to that Government some
enlightened citizen who could diamond the confi
dence of the country. ' The honorable Senator from
Michigan himself would be a neisi appropriate per
son to send on such an interesting occasion, to sue
for some sonsideration for Hungary—to plead her
cause, and endeavor to obtain forher that, redress
and consideration which her makings and her bra
very were entitled to. The object of foreign mis
sions was not to benefit the country to which we
send representhtives, but to protect American in
terests abroad,
lt,was proposed, because oft our abliorence of
Austrian butcheries, and Austria's disregard of
Hungarian independence, to punish American mer
chants and sailors—to deprive our citizens of what
t ver advantage might be deriVed from the diplo
matic relations existing between the two nations:
Such a course could be. justifiel by no argument

of politicians. Ile would like 41) hear a definition
of the progress which the gentleman had designed
to advocate. The Filly of which the Senator from
Michigan was a 'distinguished disciple, was oppos
ed to the improvement of our great water courses,
opposed to a system of progress which would re
lieve us from a dependance for necessaries of life
upon dforeign land. What then did he nunin by
progress ?
Mi. Clay feared that the progress which he ad
vocates was n progression of conquests, territorial
~ ,,, i-fandixement and foieign v.-ars If so, he thank
ed God he was of the stand-still school, as opposed
to such a progress as that to 'agile!' he had alluded.
In conclusion, Mr. Clayslid not-think that it be
came the Senate totatorireli 'unnecessary and pe
`that
ground as had. en proposed, and hoped
the Senate weld at one6reject the proposi
tion without reference or hesitation.
Messrs. Benton and Cass.
In the Senate. the tiro grea4 events of the last
week, have been speeches from Jlessrs. Benton and
Cass—the foriner on the .presentation of resolutions
of instrnetion on the stihket orthe Wiltnot.i'rovisti,
passed by the .Messouri Legislilture at its last ‘ ses--
sum, and the latter on the subject of a resolution of
enquiry, in regard to the expediency- and propriety
of suspending diplomatic intercourse with Austria.
Mr. 'lemon, it is said, was More than ordinarily
mild dial subdued, and confined himself strictly to
the argument of the question (resented by the res
oluti -n-: of instructkn, whiche expressed his in
t ention to disregard, and ehmacterised as the int-,
mature and` unenlightened expee, ion of the public•
sentiment of his State. He declared his \pesiti:re
conviction that the resolution would be - recalled
at the next succeeding session i'.)l' the Legislature.—
Ills ealm and quiet, manner, and the freedom of his
speech from all those bitter mitt vindictive person
alities which marked the character of his late
speeches in Missouri, is said 6. 'have taken every
body hy.surprise ; and Mr. Coltman and big friends,
though claiming a victory-, were very much in doubt
as to the feelings which promited the unexpected
forbearance of their adversary / . It was the gener
al Impression, however, that .I%fr. Benton had re
served his thunder for a different occasion, for if
ever a man was noted for " nursin g his wrath to
keep it warm." it is the Hon. enator- from 3lissou- -
ti. If Mr. Calhoun thinks he
.14 subdued his pow- -
erful adVemary, he lies profite but little by his ex-
Serience of the bulldog - tensesy,.with, which that
nator clings to his revengef 1 Ourposes.
The speech of Mr. Cass, wa, un able acid showy
effort, so far as in regard to Ms oratorical power;
but as an act of statemunishiwe think it falls far
below many of the former e its of that gentle
man. It is n little remaritabi , that General Cass
should have overlooked the m i important duties
of an American Minister—th ;clef mxitecting and
defending American citizens f i nin acts of tyranny,

and oppression, and giving. them shelter anti -sup-
port "under circumstances of peculiar misfortune

cool contempt . The Statei-Avilh calmly do
their duty— r otir newly acquired territory will not
be polluted by slavery—and the South will yield,
though somewhat ungraciously it may. be, to the
i will of the majority. As Or dissolving the Union,
that would be ,a calamity falling upon the South

red in the Ohio Senate, on Weilnday. Mr. Broad
well, Whig, from the disputed district, was interrup
ted in an address to the. Senate, which caused much
confusion, and the Sergeant -at-arms was called up
on to preserve order.. Mr. SWift asked the Speak
er whether lie intended to recognise two Senators
from Hamilton county. The ;Speaker replied that
he would not decide who was Senator,—it wits for
the Senate to answer the question, as both parties
were sworn in. Mr. S.—Why did ynti not tell me
that before, sir . I The Speaker replied, " Because I
never conversed with you on the subject." Mr.
Swift.—You did sir—Mr. Whitman.—By—, thatis
a clincher. Stick to him Swift. A *arm an:l per
sonal debate continued; after ivhich the Senate took
a recess. It is feared there iS much trouble ahead
and it is highly prObable that,the Governor will not
have an opportunity to deliver his mmage
soon.
