10 re3cl the attack which he ate m pied to do
by making the assault personal and yindictive.
On receiving an admonition from the Speaker
10 confne himself to the argument, MIR. Da-
nirl was requested by Mr.. Burgess to allow
him an opportunity TO explain an expression
imputed to him, but was refused with a sort
OF courtesy, which for the honor ofthe House,
we are happy TO ayexclusively belongs to Mr.
Daniel.
MIR. Daniel predicted the defeat Of the Tariff
in the Senate. He may, perhaps, prove q bet
ter prophet than rhetorician. This bill is so
! unpaIatable, contains so many odious and par
tial items Of inpost, and, wilhal, processes so
much more Of beneficial protection than it
provides, ,ha, we are inclined, if not 10 so with
Mr.. Daniel in his prediction, at any rate 10
entertain strong doubts Of the 6nal passage OF
the bill.
We observe a paragraph going he rounds
Of the Eastern prints, which is founded Oil miss
information, and which, conveying a reelection
on the character of The District, We are satisfied
the editors of the New Yotk Statesman, with
whom ii originated, will have pleasure in
correcting, when they discover the error into
which they have been led The substance Of
the paragraph referred Ia is, tina, a negro man
committed TO The gaol Of this Ciiy,oh suspicion
Of being a SLAVE; ha, been lately sold out into
slavery, without being allowed an opportunity
for the investigation Of his title TO freedom.
This is mol the fact, as We are Informed. The
person thus committed told his stony; it was
carefully noted down; means we've taken 10
investigate its truth and il turned out 10
be wholly without foundation. The man
was doubtless a slave, but he preferred
being transferred TO any master TO &C
knowIeHging his true one. The Court be-
ing appealed 20, kindly listened to the
respectable and es,imable gentleman Of the bar,
who voluatarily appeared in his behalf: but
there wa. no ground for his allegation TO frees
dom. Slavery, IN The abstract, finds in US no
defender: but, so long as the laws recognize 1t,
he relation Of master and Slave must be rcss
p.cled and protected. Nat. In.
awe learn from Mr.. Hermann, a Spanish gen
tleman, who came a passenger in the ship Sa-
vannah, from Vera Cruz, that General Nicholas
Bravo, formerly Vice President Of Mexico, and
Gen. Pedro Celes,ine Negryls, who had con
spired against the prrsen; government with the
view Of bringing about d chan c Of ministry,
had been in confinement, for TWO or three
months past, and were undergoing their t:ial
when the Savannah sailed. 1t was SUI posed
