friend writing from Washington informs Us that
the debate upon the ratification of the treaty with Eng
land was of the most interesting and spirited
which has ever occurred in the Senate. The prncI-
pal speakers in opposition to the treaty, were Messrs
Buchanan and Benton the former of whom is said to
have delivered one of the best speeches ever made IN
the Senate. The provisions If the treaty, which VIII
of course not officially be made known until after It's
ratification by England, are said to be, IN many re-
spects, highly disgraceful to this country We hope
that the injunction Of secrecy the proceedings of the
Senate in relation to the treaty will be removed, and
that the public will be afforded opportunity of see
ing the debate upon this important and interesting
subject These secret proceedings and secret sessions
are not in accordance with the spirit of our Govern
ment and we think i, due to the people, SO long the
rule exists which provides for them, that the njunc-
of secrecy should be removed in all cases by
solution Of the Sc yiranian.
We beg the Pennsylvania to suspend its
opinion till the Injunction of secrecy is re-
moved. In the meantime we think it both I'M
fair and unreasonable, to express an apprehen-
sion that the provisions are disgracetul," by
Democratic paper, when it is known that on

THE DICKENS !

A late London Morning Chronicle contains
letter from "Boz, from which we make the
following extracts. We have always thought
that the Americans were TOO eager to oesiow
attention on distinguished" Enghshmen. we

is notorious for some given gu. Ilty' we seem 10

or pirate, or murderer, or swindler, and yet not
capable of approaching kndness--and assure
as he is deficient in gentlty and honoi, though
he may be celebrated for any OF the above quail
ties, it is very certain that his ingratitude AID
rascaty will be exhibited as soon as he leaves
US.
We trust the case of "Boz" will be remem-
bered

total difference between good old English Gus

deal of annoyance. ] do not think the Americans,
as people, have much good taste. To person

said Clay Wing party. If we may Judge from
at least thousand Democratic Republican jour
mails that reach this city from the various sec
tons of the Union, there can be no doubt in the
mind Of any well informed man that the Presi-
dent is sustained by three -6tths of the People in
his straightforward course. But, that it is dis
astrous to the Clay-whigs all the recent cleo
tons sufficiently demonstrate.
