SIR. we arc all for the Union; but if it can
onlv be maintained at the sacrifice OF our
rights, that gentleman is very much mlsla, M :,
ken if he thinks his constituents Will ald
him in that sacrifice. Sir, those arc not the
hest friends of the Union who arc always
preaching it up to us; and when | here a q,
nerson here or elsewhere put tho " Union
in the foreground of his argument, always
suspect he means to give 1t some secrct
stab. And, sir, believe the adoption OF
the gcntlc,nan's plan of settling this contro'
versy Will give it one ofthe most fatal blows
i has ever vet received. For | can assure
this House that Union based upon the
nrncin|es of that resolution cannot stand.
We cannot give up rights, and consent to
hold our property at your artH. we cam
not give up the Constitution, and consent to
rcpose our oil upon the tender mcrcIcs OF
this House, to be withdrawn whenever they
NAV deem it eapedicnt. -,
Tie gentleman says he wishes to avoid
discussion. tits very clear tnat his rcSolu'
tons will produce contrary effect. They
throw the door wide open for discussion
They do more. BY thus entertaining res
pectfully these inccndiary petitions and ac'
ting upon them, VIC shall encourage the a0oiI'
tionists to perseverc in their efforts. lhey
are not men to be deferred by defeat OF
this sort. They will consider it a greatpolnt
gained, if they can get Congress to take up
their petitions, and insttutca Il grave leglsla'
tive action on them. The fanatics Will re-
joicc, heartily rejoice, to sec these resciu-
tions.
Mr.. Speaker, do not desire to impugn
the motives Of gentlemen from the South.
who have voted to introduce these resolu'
tions. Ihope they arc good. lhoPc We
all desire to effect the same object. But;
sir, in the name Of those | represent, and
those with whom have the honor 10 act
| solemnly protest against them. l Protes'
against them as conccding to this House
power to legislatc upon this subject, which
Idcny. | protest against them as weaken
ing our position by making new question
before the country, which is now considered
as settled in our favor. | protest aSans
them as opening wide, range for the dis
custom Of this subject. | protest agans
them as encouraging abolition and, finally
/ protest against them as abandoning the
high and true grounds upon which only il
becomes the South to place herself in this
great and vital controversy.
[Thc Resolution moved by Mr.. P. was
adopted, in the end clause by clause each
clause being separately voted upon.]

When Mr.. Briggs presented memorial
for the abolition Of slavery he moved its re.
ference to that Select committee which had
been appointed under the resolution Of Mr..
Pinckney, at South Carolina, and to which
all petitions and memorials which had here
toforc been offered ,or might hereafter be pre-
sentcd" were ordered to be committed. Mr..
Wise raised question Of order on the val.
idity of this prospective action ofthe House
upon subject matters oflegislation not actual.
ly in its possession; and commented very
severly upon the resolution itself and upon
the subject which it designedto secure. He
said he did not consider the question of
abolition settled, nor did he believe that it
could be settled by any evasivc resolution,
That subject was yet upon the tapis and
should continue to be so as long as he could
raise his voice in defence of the rights of
lhc Southern people. The Resolu.
ton of Mr.. Pinckncy had given that
as boon to the South which the South
might at any moment have had by dem.
aadingit. The South had been arraigned
by Southern man. Mr.. Wise Kissed and
spurned him as deserter rom h,s principals
Such were the exact words as under stood
them.
The cries for order" bacame loud and
tumultous. Mr.. Wise was directed to take
his scat; the Speaker said that the words
were personal therefore, out of order-and
that Mr.. Wise could not be permitted to
proceed unless by special consent of the
House. The words, in writing were called

to affirm or deny them. Mr.. Wise denied

LIVERPOOL, Jan. O, 1886,
The Demand this morning for Cotton is
good.
From liverpool Circular Of the 9m.
We have had very animated enquiry
for Cotton throughout this week which hol-
dcrs have met freely, at q moderate advance
say Is Il l-s generally, but more partlcu-
larly Oh the better descriptions OF both
American and Brazil.
Merico,-Thc following DEGREES have
been promulgated by the Mexican Gov
erment, and ordered to be enforced.
WAr AND NAVY DEPARTMENT.
Circular.-Thc Government has received
information that, in the United States of
North America meetings arc called for the
avowed purpose of getting up and fitting
out expeditions against the Republic of Mex
leo, in order to send assistance to the rebels,
foster the civil war, and inflict upon our
country all the calamities by which tits fol-
lowed. In the United States, our ancient
ally, expeditions are now organized similar
to that headed by the traitor Jose Antonio
Mcjia, and some have even set out for Texas.
They have been furnished with every kind
of ammunition by means Of which the re-
volted colonies arc enabled to resist and
fight the nation from which they never have
received but immense gratuitous benefits.
The government is also positively informed
that these acts, condemned by the wisdom
ofthe laws ofthe United states arc also re.
ported by the general government with which
the best intelligence and greatest harmony
still prevail. However, as these adventures
have succeeded in escaping the penalties
inflicted by the laws oftheir own country, it
becomes necessary to adopt measures for
their punishment. His Excellency, the
President ad interim, anxious to rcpress
these aggressions which constitute not only
an otfsnce to the sovereignty ofthe Mexican
nation but also to an evident violation OF
international laws as they arc generally ad.
opted has ordered the following decrccs to
be enforced
1st. Foreigners landing on the coast ol
the republic or invading its territory by land
armed and with the intention, of attacking
our country, will be deemed pirates and
dealt with as such, being citizens of no ma:
ton presently at war with the Republic and
fighting under no recognised flag.
I'd. All foreigners who will import either
by sea or land, in the places occupied by
the rebels, either arms or ammunition Of
any kind for the use Of said rebels, will be
deemed pirates and punished as such.
send you these DEGREES that you may
cause them to be fully executed.

cial defence of Picolata and st. Augustine,

Our troops at Camp Brown (ncar this
place. are beginning to assume formidable

There has been fatal error on the part
of Government in relation to the strength OF
these Indians, and the facilities which they
have for procrastinating the war. The
whole strength of the Indians cannot now
be estimated at less than 1000 effective war
riors including the negroes. The country
they will occupy, Is about 800 miles long
and l25 broad; two thirds of which (the

The long-expected message from the
President of the United States on the sub
iect of the pending dispute with France,
has at length come to hand, and is inserted
in this days paper The President, it will
be perceived, recommends the passage of a
law forbidding the importation of French
products, rs well as the entry Of French
vessels into our ports. The spirit Of the
message will doubtless tend to exasperate
the French nation, and perhaps hasten the
calamity of an open rupture between the
two countries. The National Intellgencer
says, "Our opinion continues unchanged,
that Congress will not act upon the recon-
mcndations contained in the Message, until
at least we hear what has been the recep-
ton of the Presidents Annual Message by
the French Government"

Between the White and Van Buren,
parties, MIR Webster, by the deserlon OF

the crisis is approaching, when the attempt
VIII be made and perchance may be sue
ces5iul, to make the nation choose between
ne evils OF Whiteism and Van Burenism.

In such contingency what are the an
llmasons to do? Are they thus to be traf-
licked OIL to the support Of men, neither of
whom has their confidence? We trust
not. There is a door tof escape for them
and the whole people of the Union, against
this alternative. BY remaining inhexibe
to their principles and their own men, the
antlmasons will be enabled to bring out
candidate for the Presidency, who will
combine the whole strength of the north,
and we believe the greatest portion of the
Union, of those who neither wish TO sup
port Slavery and Jacksonism with White,
or Jacksonism and Van Burenism with
Van Buren,. Without this succor from the
party, the people will be driven
to choose between the great evils of White
or Van Buren,. Let then, the people rally
with antimasonry against the intriguos Of
factions neither of which thew can con-
support.
