WAR AGAINST THE SPANISH COLONIES

WAR n GAINST The SPANISH COLONIES.
The, first question generally asked at the
commencement Of war is, what will be the
obi ect of hestilities. and what means the
effended government proposes 10 employ,
in order to redress lis injuries and punish
its enemies
Situated as W. are with France. and in
the present temper of Europe, war wath
that power affords no other objects of at.
tack but mercantile craft, and calls upon
government for tide other exertions than
extensive issue o. letters of marsue; but
hostility with Spin is of another nature
something is proposed to animate us to
conquest, something may be gained to-
wards the payment Of expenses, and some.
thing OF pluader IS held out TO reward the
bravery Of oar Aeets aas armies.
A Spanish war has thus always been em.
bfaced by Greas Britain, with prompti,ude
and zeal some politicians indeed have
not hesitaed to contend that lust and a.
varice of ilunder, have some times been
permitted o Operate too freely and extern
sively, ans have ssiaed all nice enquiries as
to the justice ofthe proyication bat how
ever this may have been it is certain thas
Spanish war never Yet wanted populari.
ty with tie nation, or stood 10 need of a.
ny other justification than such as has been
errsalne. in a CABINET DKcLARArI.
ON.
1t is aificalste conjecture What will be
the f''st hostile movement against Spain !;
1t is cernin she can make no efectnal war.
fare against us.--It Aust not perhaps be
an object with eur government to reduce
her colonies or settlements in South Ame-
RIGA, to the situation Of British depsnden.

: Der from Massachusetts, exclaimed az 'ne
/. bar, when an adjournment was deoiea a
4 the usual hour, cannot and 7pln Hos oe
/ dyacged along in fdis manner, and lett the
/ house with indignation. As the question:
however, was mol taken that day, as We
| had repeatedly been told it should be IN
consequence of the ardent opPositioa which
myself and others deemed it our duty to
make, by protracting the debate to late
hour at night, that gentleman however re.
corded his vote 10 opposition to the mea-
sure.
A very respectable democratic member
from a middle state declared, that were
the amendmentin the precise form which
he wished it, he would never vote for it
while it was atte mptsd to carry 1t by such
means. As almost every member Of the
majority who expressed his opinion disap-
proved eef the additional proposition, lt
must be evident to every candid rePubll-
can, frsm the simple statement OF facts
which have made, that the amendment,
in its present form, was carried through
both Houses by the undue influence OF
few individuals, and by the combined O.
.peratons of intrigue and terror. 4 was ct
opinion that we ought not to disgrace our
selves by such course of conduct, and that
however desirable the amendment might
be in some form or other, we ought 10
wait till it could be adopted in a fair and
true republican manner.
Connected with this subject nv conduct
with respect to the nomination OF Presi-
dent and Vice President requires expla-
ton. Early in the session It was deter
mined by The self chosen few who under
take to direct the public sentiment, that
Gov. Clinton should be the next Vice
President, and that gentle manwas inform.
that the unanimous voice OF the members
was in his favour, when not Ten Of tflem
had been consulted. Some difficulty be-
ing afterwards apprehended from the Penn
sylvania delegation sub-caucus was
held, and the representatives 9th at state
recouciled to the measure gene raj eau
Gus was then called to ratifv what. the few
had already accomplished. To such a
STATE of things, as Mr.. Butler observed
with respect to the amendment, / could not
and 1yould not submit. tits perfectly pro-
per that any number of individuals, of the
same political sentiments, stl ould meet to-
gether and discuss any eubject of general
concern, with view to promote an union
of sentiment and action; but that men,
5ers of the legislature, as such, should un-
dertake to influence and. dictate the peo-
"a their elections, is hostile to ths very ge-
Mus republicanism. Let it not be un-
lerstood that theirs were any objections on
my part to the personal or political cha
,acter of Mr.. Clinton but my conduct
vas influenced by various considerations,
Which it is unnecessary to DEAL to the /
public.

DEBATE ON THE GEORGIA CLAIMS.

(Ilr. Roofs Sheech concluded. }
Another objection made by both OF the
gentlemen from Virginia { MIR ]. Randolph
and MIR Cark) who have spoken in oppo-
sition to the resolution reported by the
committee OF claims, is, that nothing pass
ed by the act of Georgia of l7o5, and this
objection is attempted TO be supported
first, on the ground that the legislature of
Georgia had no authority to grant. fat
ter myself, Mr. Speaker, that have suffi-
GENTLY shown that the lands in question
were the property OF Georgia as free,
sovereign and independent state, and that
she, and she alone, had the right Of their
disposal. But distinction is taken be-
tween the people and their legislature. II
is said that the people Of Georgia had me-
yer delegated to the legislature to dispose
OF her vacant lands. BY the constitution
of Georgia all legislative powers were de-
legated TO the legislature, unless particu-
latly excepted, and we do not learn that
the power of disposing of their vacant ter.
ritory was excepted or reserved. The dis
position Of vacant lands has always been
considered legislative power, necessarily
belonging to The legislature without anv
express delegation in constitution. II
such delegation of power is necessary, I
imagine that but few valid grants can be
found in the several states. In support Of
this objection il is further insisted ihattbe
grant Of l7o5 was fraudulent; OF course.
that il is void a6 fnitio. The abominabie
fraud, the gross and odious corruption
which is said TO have been praeised bv
and upon the members of the granting le.
gislsture OF 1875, have been depicted in
tue most artful and detestable colors, 3u,
even were Ito admit for moment, tina,
the motives of legislature can be mes,i.
oned in order TO nulIify their acts, ! should
extremely doubt whether that abominablc
corvuptIon did ever exist to the extent al.
lodged. Where, let me ask, is the proc
