W U Chhtiuli, vi our paper OF tnlS morning, VIZ
Clays elaborate and powerful Report relative /,
The French treaty of ndemnity-a Report the zen
erl reasoning of which, embodied in the resolution
adopted by the Scnae, on the I4h insl. has re
received the unanimous appreciation of that body
Even party feeling could deec, in il no haw-n'
loop on which to hang argumen,-no word, OF
| which 10 predicate abuse of It's author.
We regret that we have not room to day for tn,
debate Which took place OF the adoption of the re-
solnlion-in which Messfs. Clay, King of Geo.
Webster Buchanan, Cuthbert, King OF Ala, mt
Clayton participated One or two passages Of II
however, must be quoted
Mr. King of Geo one Of the most talented and
high-mindcd friends of the administration in the
Senate, speaks Of the Report in manner highly
complimentary to its author lie remarked
The tone and tenor of the rcpor, Of the Com
m,ee Oh Foreign Relations with few exceptions,
met with his entire and cordial appreciation. he
had agreed to it, with these exceptions, in the Com
mttec, and he agreed to it here. He had agreed
to rejection Of the recommendation of the Pres''
dent. H. had agreed thai we were no, at present
called upon for action, and that il was inexped'ent,
ut this time, to lcglslate on the subject. What
was the tone and character of the Report of the
Committee on Foreign Relations He did not be-
licve that it was introduced by the honorable mem
Der as party paper. He did not believe 1t was pre-
sen ed to the cons Liberation of the Senate PARTY
paper He did not believe il would be reccl ci by
the people as party paper, unless, by the Efforts
of the public press, and by party politicians, II
should he stamp d with that character Ana he
further agreed, that in oil important points the
President was sustained by this report In every
Dart OF The report the President was treated with
the most pei feet respect. The views of the Pest
dent were treat 4 with the mos, perfect respect.
The motives vi oir President were treated with
the most pcrilct,cspeci. Aud even the re'ommen-
,lation of the President as 10 the SPECIFIC mod OF
action is treated, in the report, with most en're
respect"
For our own parts, we are glad That inc he'
port is not party papcr-ihat II 1914 every sense
of the word, an American document-sp aaK'ns'
we believe the sentiments OF the who'e Ann
can merchandising just indignation ut the
ou,rages comme upon our commerce When we
were unshle TO protect i, or TO redress those outta'
oes and proper spirit OF resentment that 'epar-
alton has been SO long under ptetext or nno'h-
er, unjus,ly withheld but yet no, anxious TO pre-
c,pi,ate the country into with our old ally AID
the only great nation on the Continent OF Europe
in which free principles find an abIdIrs place
but rather willing to delay that last appeal until a
other means Of maintaining our rights arc exhaust
ed In his speech on tie l4th Mr.. Clay uttered
the true feelings of patriot, which may here be
apply quoted. He said;
aOa all questions connected with tho foreign at
fairs of this country Mr.. C. said differences OF O
pinion will arise, which will finally terminate III
whatever way the opinion of the people OF '"'s
country may SO tend Us TO influence the'r 'ep'eso"
tativcs But, said he, whenever Inc course u
things shall be such that rupture sha" u"lo'''
natcly take place between this country anu '"y
