HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.

Monday, .Ahr4 90.
3 Mr.. Seybert presented a petition Of sun
dry merchants, praying suspension of the
non-importaton act,
Mr.. Mitchill presented similar petition
from sundry merchants of New-York, refer
ence of which petition was moved to the COM
mittee of the whole to whom is referred the
bill on that subject.
Mr.. I.owndes assented to the reference of
the petition but took this opportunity to state
that he himself had no intention, and he be-
lieved his friends had not, of moving the or
der of the day and added that whilst he
thought the adoptionof the measure would be
wise and beneficial, the useless agitation of it
land he was convinced the agitation of it at
this tine would be useless and Improperly
could neither benefit the public or those par
ticularly concerned. He should therefore not
call up the bill and if its consideration should
be moved by any other gentleman, he should
vote against taking it up.
A message was received fron the Senate,
announcing the death of the Vice President
of the United States, and the resolution they
had adopted
The House agreed to consider the Joint
resolution as above stated.
Mr.. Tailnadge said, it was assuredly not
from any want of respect to the memory OF the
patriot deceased, that some member from the
state of Newly DIRK did not on this occasion adj
dress the chair. At their request, and being
himself native citizen of the state of New.
York, and having served particularly and on
honorable occasions in the Revolutionary War
with the gentleman whose death was now an
no,lnced; having long known his services &
merits both as soldier and statesman, he

Monday, .Af'H %, 1912.
The President (Mr. Crawford) addressed
the Senate as follows:
!" GENTLEMEN,
Upon me devolves the painful duty of
announcing to the Senate the death of our We
nerable fellow-citizen George Clinton, Vice
President of the U. States. BY this affective
sispensation of Divine Providence, the Senate
is deprived of President rendered dear to
each of its members by the dignity and i'm
partially with which he has so long presided
over their deliberations, and the nation be-
reaved of one of the brightest luminaries OF
its glorious revolution"
On motion of Mr.. Smith of II. Y. that the
Senate come to the following resolution
g The Senate being informed Of the de-
cease of their distinguished feilow-Citizep
George Clinton, Vice President of the T..
States

ed Jointly with such as may be appointed on
the part of the House Of Representatives to
consider and report measures proper to ma
nifest the public respect for the memory OF
the deceased, and expressive Of tie deep re-
gret of the Congress Oft United States Oh
the loss ola citizen 50 highly respected and
revered."
The resolution was unanimously agreed to-;
and Messrs. Smith of N. Y. Smith of Md.

This is the sentiment of every heart worth
possessing. 1t is the warm breathing Of a
true patriot; not Of that description of i'm
ported pstriots, however, who wander from
cline to cline, and affect stronger attach
ment to any country which they occasionally
inhabit, than the natives of the SOIL Of this
we have abundant evidence in some OF our
most conspicuous political missionaries, who,
while they solemnly assert thata war between
America and G. Britain would utterly ruin the
latter, the country oftheir birth, are using eve
ry exertion to bring about such an event.--
For once, we heartily coincide with Gen. VIII

of the strongest social ties, must be 6 stran-

EMBARGO.-Th following letters from
Liverpool and Cadiz, will show how admirably
well timed IS our embargo one can hardly help
suspecting that the administration must have
received the same intelligence some weeks a.
go.
Extract ola letter from Cadiz, dated February
Is, 1912,
" Shipments of flour, rice, beef and pork,
may strongly be recommended to this place,
the country is actually in state of starvation,
and our seaport so perfectly safe, has become
the grand depot of all Spain; above $4,000
barrels of -four have arrived here within these
two months, and the price instead Of falling has
risen one dollar.
Extract Of q letter from Live,nooI, dated
March II, 1912, to a RESPECTABLE mercantile
heuse in this city.
"From the general tenorof our letters since
last harvest you will be prepared to expect
high prices in our markets for Grain & Flour,
the deficiency Of our last crops is now manltes9
in the almost daily advance of grain through
out the country, this market IS very barely
supplied. American Wheat would now sell
at Us. cd. IS. per 7olbs and flour 7os. per
Dbl or if prime quality probably 2s more
We have to look to you for supplies and from
present appearances further advance will
take place; we think the article worthy ofyour
attention, for We should not be surprised to see
prices materially higher. American produce
generally is dull.
Extract ofanother letter, dated March 20.
g Our letter from London, this morning,
mentions considerable advance in that mar
ket for Grain, and we anticipate still higher
prices here Immediately we really fear prices
will be very high
After reading the preceding extracts, we
would suggest to our farmers and merchants
few reflections which force themselves upon
us.
1t might be reasonably expected that car
go of wheat now shipped to an European mar
ket, would sell at 8 to EOS sterling per bush
ell, say dollars to 10. We will suppose
another cargo to commence loading on the 5th
July, (by which time we shall know the en-
barge law to be repealed, or be notified OF Its
renewal that the vessel sail with it in a fort
night from that day, and have summer pas
sage of45 days; she will arrive at her destin-
ed port in September. The harvest of Eng
land, Spain and Portugal, will then be gather
ed, and the inhabitants of those countries will
subsist on the growth of their own fields. Un-

MORE SECRETS.

We understand that the mind of the Ex-
ssutiye is fully made up to War, without any
lrther attempt at negotiation. A cabinet
vas held, and the Secretaries consulted. The
Secrttory IF Safe zyGs for War immediately
The Secretary Of the Treasury was ready with
Gsways and means; the secretary of the navy
With his small butgallant force. The Secre-
sryof War wished for SO days tostrengthen
sc. and to arm the frontiers; -.
The above Nsus i;eStracted from the
Richmond Enquirer Of last week. How he
obtains Information of what passes in the II
aaican Ca6met Councii, is more than we can
tell 1t does appear, that such information
must be derived from some of the members.
Be that as it may if we are to rely on this
Hatement, the Secretary of State, the Secre-
Sry of the Treasury, and the Secretary of the
Navy, were in favor of an immediate declara-
bon of War; but their opinions, it seems,
we're all oyesruled by the Secretary Of War
'AO Wished foraIittle moretim to makeready,
md the President, pursuant to his advice, re-
commended an Embargo of 60 days. DR..
lu'ts probably suggested, that, unpopular as
nat measure would be in Massachusetts, it
would be a safer expedient than Declaration
War; just before the election. And Mr..
Madison no doubt wisely pondered on that
maxim, {" the better part of yaior is diacre-
&a.n
nut the Enquirer insists that so days en-
sus0'as originally recommended, is much.
uOAger measure than the 60 days Embargo
'acA finally passed. His reason for this
pa'On is, that it being the determination OF
- executive to commence hostiIities at the
1aFatop of the Embargo, War will be de-
rs 80 days longer by the act of Congress.
Madison receives due praise for mani
'p's more energy than the National Legs

, ~ to act without delay, are entitled to a

a similar resolution with the one which
follows has been adopted by the Senate:
On motion of Mr.. Tallmadge, RESOLVED

to the late George Clinton, President of
the United States and President of the Sc
nate, the Speakers Chair be shrouded with
black during the present session and as a
further testimony OF respect for the memory
of the deceased, the members will go into
mourning, and wear black Grape on the left
arm for thirty days.
1t was recommended that the members
should be punctual in their attendance at the
Capitol by half past 8, SO that the corpse might
move precisely at 4 O'Clock.
Mr.. T..stated that the sergeant at arms had
procured % hacks on the part of The house {;
that there might be no difficulty in getting.
seats, gentlemen were requested 70 form
themselves into companies of four, each one
of whom should give his name to the SER
geant at arms, who would place it oppo-
site to the number of his hack, which would
not move till called for by him, and he
was requested to inform the others of his par
ty of the number OF this hack. The house
then adjourned to meet between and 4. The

testifying that democracy was madness--that
leading democrats were unprincipied mem
that Mr. Madison would not be supported by
his party in any honorable measure towards
Great Brit;in-that the federalists only want
