Thursday, FEB. Sd 1912.

During the morning hour, Mr., Calhoun made pro-
position to refer the Committee Foreign Relations
the message from the Executive The subject Of the
mutiny and murder BY the slaves board the Creole,
and The Liberation ofthose slaves by the British auhor
ties in Nassau, New Providence. MIR. c. made some
remarks, showing the importance of prompt action by
the Committee Foreign Relations on this subject,
which he characterized as one involving principles
paramount to those which involved in the
questions now the subject Of negotiation between
this country and Great Britain. There had been much
tsrdness he thought, in the movements of the Execu
tive Department TO bring this subject to the attention
of England and to amcable and just settlement. He
did not believe that that Government would hesitate TO
grant satisfaction for this outrage American rights
and property and innovation the settled principles
OF international law if this Government would make
proper and peremptory demand for its adjustment He
thought it due TO the magnitude of the case, which in
volved not only the question of right of property in
slaves but the right of search, should have grave
and full consideration before committee OF Congress,
and ON expression Of opinion before the matter was sub
mted for negotiation.
Mr. C's remarks which important, will be pub
shed hereafter.
The message was referred 10 the Committee on Fo-
reign Relations after few remarks from Mr. Preston,
as to the importance of the principles in
voved in the question: but dsagreeng to the proPr'e

should work an universal abolition of debts without the
assent Of any part of the cedlorS and altogether without
regard 10 the fact whether the debtor had property 10
surrender or no-had squandered the means obtained
from the creditor, in gambling, other criminal pur-
suits or was deprived Of all his property BY misfortune
This first petitioner for an abolition bill discardns the
features OF every Bankrupt bill ever vet enacted seems to
be the first among the applicants forts dissolution

This gentleman, whose powerful reply 10 MIR. Clay
on the Veto question is allowed all hands TO he the
most mastery speech he has delivered in the Sc
nate Of the w. Sand whose speech on the Michigan
Memorial on the Cd instant indicates strongly his dis.

Of dlsrust and apprehension to the Federal Wings
lie has recently displayed power, to which he has
long been stranger-and for the simple reason, that
a is always stronger the side OF Truth than of
error.
The Washington Correspondent Of the N. Y Ex-
press, noticing his speech Of that day, says:
"rhe debate between Mr. Preston and Mr.. Clay, was
Of the duello style MIR. Preston spoke three times
and Mr. Clay twice. 1t but the last week that
these two Senators were at the antpodes upon other
subjects Indeed, can hardly see any agreement Of
opinion between Mr.. Preston and any Of his old
cates in the Senate He votes against the Treasury

the Bankrupt Bill, matter for the power the

things, for The narrowest construction of the consttu
ton Upon all these questions he is found with the
opponents Of the Administration, and The Wings OF
course have often in consequence TO suffer the most
painful of all wounds, -that of being wounded in the
house Of friend. But all these opinions Of strict
construction and Of local action, must say, in
ference to public duties, and doubt conscenti
ously held One, however, cannot but regret to
intelligent man heating the air of abstractions.'
How il is possible, that any like MIR. Preston
entertaining these abstract and just opinions, like
Mr.. Thornton OF Caroline, should cooperate with a
party like the Clay Wings, is phenomenon perfectly
