SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES.
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 1.

Mr.. Randolph rose and said, he wiihed 70 DO
! what was with him very unusual thing--not only
/ 10 make motion, but to make one asking inior-
nation from The Executive branch OF this govern
mrnt He had seen proclamation purportlhg 10
have been issued by the celebrated Gen. boUcdf. tie
had learned with satisfaction, as far as regarded the
lame and reputation OF that distinguished individual
that that proclamation had been dlsclaiIned by
the consular authority here, as fabrication; at
least fabrication lar as it related to that particu-
lar part of the proclamation which had attracted his
attention. Mr.. r. said he was glad OF 1t; but al.
though, said he, that proclamation may be a fabri
cation and doubt it is so--i is as unquestlona-
bly, that proclamation is false that the prin
ciplcs contained in that proclamation are the agow-
ed principles of the renowned individual to whom
refer; they the avowed principles OF ths Gov
ernments over which he exercises almost unbound
ed sway they the avowed principles OF the
People composing those States-lf States they may
be called which States are none-and therefore it
IS said Mr. r. that wish for some official infor
mation,--no to satisfy myself-not TO delay any
1 business that is, or may be, before the Senate;
do not wish 10 wait for ii but official information
that may satisfy the American People as TO the
true character OF those States
II is we'll known, said Mr.. R. that in his public
message TO Congress, the President OF the United
States has nmated to and to the world, thr ough
us that an invitation Of certain character has been
given TO him, and that in consequence, ministers
gciU be sent to the Congress about be assembled
N at Panama. He hoped that the minister's whoever
they nigh be, would be Of that character and de-
scrpion who would labor under none OF the odious
and exploded preudices, which reyolted and repe-
led the fasidious Southern man from Africans
Il from associatng as equals with them, or with peo
pie oe African descen;--that they may take their
seat in Congress al Panama, beside the native
N African, their American descendants the mixed

offence scandal al motley mixture. Mr..
believed it well understood as to The Siate-not
the State in which this Congress is to be held but
in the immediate yicinage OF the province where
this Congress is TO ssse mble- Guate a ala-ile be
leved it was considered much black Republic
at this time as Hayti itself There is, SAID Mr.. r..
N great deal Of African blood ~ old Spain-in the
South of Spain though not all negro blood from

deterioraton--f deterioration it be--in the Gre
ole Spaniards, in all the Spanish and Portuguese
III possessions, but above all in Guatemala the inn

M 2l.-Now these things. said Mr.. H. which are
n Of no sort OF importance to some people, are OF
vital importance to that district and description Of
u country, and not altogether contemplate; whether
IN point of extent or numbers not quite unworthy
Of being taken into consideration in the deliberations
& and decisions OF this body, and of the federal Gov
rrnment. He would not detan the Senate farther
lan to suggest, that he had heard tha, this great

n man--the'e were great many such great and good
men, Lafayette was one of them-at the com
& mencement Of the French Revoluuon-would not
II hear of any paley at all with what they called the
II iuprescripiible rights OF man--they played the
whole game, they would not hear of qualification,
and we see what this desperate game has eventuated
