THE ACADIA

Brought no news of importance. Dull prosy
debates were going on, on domestic subjects
The Government measures, however, will all
doubtless pass by large majority. We cut
the following from London paper:
In the Admiralty Court on the 18th of April judg-
ment was pronounced against the American brig Mas
sachusets, in an action by the owners of the baque
Bufnch for damages sustained by the latter vessel
by collision with the former 1t appeared that on
the 10th of December last about two o'clock in the
afternoon, the weather being fair, the barque at
anchor, or about to anchor, near the Shadwell en-
trance to the London dock, when the American brig
came up in tow of steamer, and on casting off the
tug, she came in collision with the barque and be-
came entangled. The master of the Bulfnch sug-
gested to the American master to cut the Ian
yards of his forestry, which would have liberated the
vessels but he refused and would not permit it to
be done by the mate of the barque For the amount
of damage done (about el8) the action was brought
and the question was, whether the Massachusetts
in fault, and if So whether the fault was mputable
exclusively to the pilot on board that vessel. The
court was assisted by the Trinity masters, as the
points were exclusively of nautical character AT
ter hearing MIR. Haggard for the Bulfnch, and Dr.
Adams and DR.. Robertson for the Massachusetts, the
Trinity masters were of opinion, in which the court
concurred, that the blame lay exclusively with the
master and crew of the Massachusetts.

FOR THE MADISONIAN

We are informed through the public papers
that Mr. Van Buren,, on his return from the
Hermitage, visited Ashland by special invitation
from Mr.. Clay. That there is something more
than complimentary visit in the meeting of
those two distinguished ultra leaders of the two
great political parties, as to time and place,
than meets the eye of the casual observer, no
doubt exists in my mind. Mr.. Van Buren, and
Mr.. Clay accidentally met at Saratoga, during
the late Presidential canvass, but we have yet
to learn that MIR. Clay was invited to visit Kin
derhook yet subsequent events may have oc-
Cured to unite more firmly those distinguished
characters than existed at the time Of the acct
dental meeting at Saratoga.
In olden times, it was said and believed that
oil and water would not mingle; but should
those ultra leaders unite at this time, the Peo-
pie may be pardoned for any curiosity or int
rest they may take in this matter, as to the mo-
tires and ends in view of this amalgamation.
NO ULTRA.

NEWS FROM THE WEST.

We have recently been informed by a gentleman
who has just returned from the Western frontier that
several Mexican traders from Tamaulipas, visited
the rancho of Aubrey & Kinney week or two since,
and stated that, for nearly two months past there
had not been a single company of Mexican soldiers
east of the Rio Grande. The whole country had
been left entirely unprotected, and in consequence
and Lipans had committed most serious ravages.
party of three hundred Camanches, few weeks
since, swept down the eastern bank Of the Rio
Grande, from Laredo nearly to the coast, and de-
vastated the whole country. They captured and
carried off several women and children, and spread
such an alarm that nearly all the Mexican settlers
have forsaken their ranches and removed with their
families west of the river. The whole country east
of the Sierra Madre is almost entirely defenceess,
and the inhabitants trembling with alarm for fear
that the invading army OF Texas will approach be-
fore they obtain protection from the interior.
Arista has only about 300 effective troops under his
command. Canales who has been appointed to the
command of the militia, raised 400 rancheros, badly
armed and equipped, few weeks since but he has
remained stationary, and is not known what his de-
signs Ampuda has command at Matamoras,
and since the retreat of Vasques has been Certifying
the city, fearing attack from Texas; but he has
only about $50 soldiers and the citizens daily
eaving The place 1t is believed, therefore, that if
500 Texans should approach the city, it would be
surrendered without firing gun. The people of La
redo Mier and Comargo have suffered so much from
the deprcdations of the Indians and our western cow
boys ha, they almost driven to despair, and long
for a change that will afford them protection. 1t Is
believed that most of them would cheertuy yield ODE
,licncc to our Government If sufficient force could
De sent west the Rio Grande to give them coal, lcnce
There is hardly doubt that, if 900 Texans should
march into Tamaulipas, the people almost to man
would declare in favor of federalism.
Many of the leading men dissatisfied with the
present Government, and are anxious to form sepa
rate conederacy The fear of Santa Anna alone keeps
them in check Cordova is still on the Rio Grande,
but has no troops under his command, and is quite
destitute and disheartened Flores has not been
heard from for long lime, and it is supposed he is
dead. Colonel Villareal, who during the past year
commanded ranging company, stationed near the
Sci Colorado, has retreaed oss the Rio Grande,
and let his own rancho exposed to the depredatons
of our COW boys. 1t is reported that his stock has
beeen reduced within the last year from several thou
sand to few hundred
From the above facts it is evident that the eastern
provinces of Mexico are in most deplorable cond-
tion and would fall an easy prey to our army.

The value of money in London continues to be
very low Its current rate of interest for first class bills
is "a per ct and the Bank of England it is said has
advanced money at ga. This is going from their

have advanced in splendid STYLE and the funds are this

be done in foreign securities and unless they get
stimulus in some way other shortly the deprecia-

WAsHINGToN, Friday

WARRINGTON, Evening
The Senate spent the whole day in executive ses-
sion, on the nomination of Postmaster for Trenton
New Jersey, and rejected the man at last The no
minee the present incumbent, Mr. Cunningham
represented all hands to be excellent officer and
a meritorious man, but he happens to think that there
other men in the nation fit for President besides
Mr.. Clay and that was enough to kill him with ma
jority of the Senate The wings proper and all the
senators who profess friendship to the administration
for the purpose of getting Offices for their friends,
with the exception of Mr. Rves, voted against MIR.
Cunningham. Perhaps there is now no further mo-
tive to try and deceive the President If that is the
fact, we shall them show their true colors and
take decided ground against the administration. The
sooner the better. An avowed enemy is less to be
dreaded than treacherous ally. The President has
nothing to hope expect from the wings, and state
of things will arrive when it will be indispen-
sable for him to break off all connection with them.
After rejecting Mr.. Cunningham, the Senate adj
ourned over to Monday.
The Rhode Island news excites much satisfaction
here, except among the men who hoped to make
capital by parading their championship of the rights
of the people This class abuse Dorr without stint
measure.

But the Federal presses have been peculiarly
effective in the Manufacture Of great men.
The Southern Legislators, it would seem, have
and on the virtuous disinterestedness of honest
presses to record their deeds and preserve their
fame. The Federalists, on the other hand, re-
ciprocated favors in writing each other into noto
riety. Nay, some the great men whom we could
name, haze ao1itten themselves into popularity!
We have heard of Federalists having control
of certain cordons of pensioned presses, who
despatched their half dozen letters day from the
Capitol, bepuffing, beprasing, and belauding
themselves to the skies. And then this confed-
Grafton of Federalists cause these laudatOry
epistles to go the rounds Of the pensoned
presses throughout the entire East North, and
West, continually revolving like the planetary
system But the day of their doom is at hand.
Three fourths of their own constituents will
condemn them. All their dishonest articles
are about to be exposed to the light. Patriot
ism must take the place of demagoguism in the
councils Of the nation, or genuine Republican
ism is destined soon to be superseded by Jacob
iniSm.
But the South has been beied, imposed on,
trampled on, by means of monopozng com
binations and the innumerable host of deceptive
Federal presses. She must rouse from her le
lhargy and vindicate her honor. Her enemies
are about to add injury to insult They are
about to apply the torch of furious fanaticism
to her peaceful dwellings,. The Abolitionists
would plumber her Of her wealth, and stain the
soil with the blood of her children. These in
furiate demons, like her old enemies, the Fede
ralists operate at present with their presses and
pilgrim emissaries, without the assistance or
encouragement Of the Republicans Of the
North. The great M ass Of the Northern peo-
pie, the bone and simeao ofMe land, are ready
to unite with the South IN crushing that strange
s0leciSm-AN ARIsToCRACY BY MONOPOLY IN q
Republic.

From the Semen Fails Ga-eIe

We cannot properly conclude our abstract of the
dongs of Congress, for the last week. without call
ing the attention of our readers to the gross neglect
of duty which that body manifests. Since the inau-
guration of Gen. HARRIsoN this country has wit
messed almost perpetual session Of Congress-and
yet ohat has been done Millions of the peoples
money has been expended, and what return have the
people received Not solitary act for the public
good has been passed. With very large party ma
jority in both houses the Wings have neither done,
endeavored to do, anything for the relief of the
country or the benefit of the people.-The whole
time has been consumed in party caucuisng, for the
destructive alike of the Democratic party and Presi-
dent TYLER, that the arch-gambler of Kentucky
might be benefited

UNITED STATES LOAN.

We are happy to say that the Secretary of the
Treasury has disposed of so much of the U s. loan
it desirable to sell at this me to Messrs John
Ward & Co. The amount is supposed to be three and
half millions, and the rate a little under par. The
Secretary will now be able to do justice to all claimants
upon his Department His frank and still sagacious
manner has secured the respect and confidence of all
who had occasion to confer with him.

RETRENCHMENT WITH A VENGEANCE.

REINFORCEMENT WITH A VENGEANCE,
We implore the people of the United States
to watch their representatives in Congress. Let
the n see and remember the present transac-
tons of their public servants. The President
and the Secretaries of the Navy and War, have
recommended certain additions both to the army
and navy, which at this particular jrncture
seemed to be demanded. Congress thinks diff
ferently and acts accordingly. Now, if IN our
negotiations with other nations, they should take
advantage of our inability to defend ourselves,
and exact dishonorabe peace let the blame
rest upon Congress! If, on the other hand, war
should be preciptated on us in consequence of
our defenceess condition, and the country should
be trampled under foot by some powerful IN
vader, T HE BR land OF IGNOMINY WILL
REST UPON CONGRESS-! We appeal to
the people to say if the Executive has not dis
charged its duty.
