TWENTY.EIGH CONGRESS,
FRIDAY, APRIL IL, 1874.
SENATE.
FIRST SESSION.


SENATE.
Mr.. TALLMADGE presented memorials from
Washington and Saratoga counties, New York,
demonstrating against the annexation of Texas
Memorials against any change in the Tariff
were presented by Messrs. WRIGHT, STUR-
GEON, BUCHANAN, CLAYTON, and TALL
MADGE.
Several adverse reports were taken up and
concurred in.
A. S. MACKENZIE.
Mr.. TAPPAN called up resolution some
time since submitted by him, calling on the Sec
| rotary of the Navy TO furnish copy OF the pro-
ceedings under the court of inquiry and court
martial in the case of Commander Mackenzie,
together with all correspondence in connexOn
with the case which is on file in the Department
Mr. PHELPS desired to know what was the
object of the mover, and what purpose he ex-
pected to subserve by this. 1t was new prin-
ciple, if the Senate was to take revisory action
upon the courts Unless some definite action
was proposed, he could not consent to the reso-
luton.
Mr.. TAPPAN said that if the Senator would
refresh his memory, he would find, perhaps, that
he had voted for similar resolution this session.
(Mr. PHELPS thought not.) His object was to
get authentic information in case OF great In
ierest and if Senators thought this information
ought to be suppressed they would vote against
it.
Mr.. TALLMADGE expressed hope that it
would be adopted.
Mr. WRIGHT expressed his regret that his
friend from Ohio had felt bound to press this re-
solution. He would not trust himself to speak
of the transaction out of which this resolution
grew. He had never ventured his mind upon
any conclusion respecting it, and certainly would
not trust his tongue to utter any. One thing he
would say was established in the entire public
mind, that whether the officers Of that ship had
mistaken their duty or not, there had been no
error of intention. He knew that Commander
Mackenzie would not justify him in resisting
any call for this publication, but he could see no
practical utility that would result from it, on
the contrary, it could only revive unhappy con-
troversies.
Mr.. TAPPAN said it might answer to show
that such cases ought to be submitted to our
civil tribunals, and might bring about Legislation
to that effect.
facilitate this. We legislate for cases that might
arise, and not on the past Why should this
case be singled out for public attention, and what
would be the result, except to submit the par
ties to incessant persecution by the newspapers,
which would publish garbled extracts, according
as they leaned to one or the other side. He
trusted the resolution would not prevail.
The Senate, on division, rejected the reso-
luton.
The bill to establish a Navy Yard at Mem
phis, was passed by vote Of 81 to IL.
THE TARIFF. | EtE
Mr.. CHOATE made brilliant argument on
this subject, which was listened to by crowded
chamber.
The eloquent Senator from Massachusetts, af-
ter having spoken nearly two hours, yielded from
physical exhaustion without having concluded

sion, and after short time spent therein,

and will be sold for cash. he cannot kick the credit
system with small profits as he offers to sell his
goods; and, with such system of doing business as
the above he defes any establishment in the IT, States

some merchants in this city, not judges Of such
goods merchant ailors use propose to cell clothing

ANNEXATION

We call the attention Of those annexation.
lists who go the "satirs noiae" FOR Texas, to
the following extract from Washington fare.
we'll address,
"Obscrve good (aih and justice towards all
nations cultivate peace and harmony with
all. Religion and morality eajmn this con-
duct and can it be that root policy does not
equally enioin IL II will be worthy Of free,
enlightened, and, at no distant period, great
nation, to give to,mankind the magnanimous
and, too, novel example OF a people always
guided by eraled justice and bcneUoieHce."
Now, if treaty of peace is existing between
the U. S. q another nation, and that nation has
revolted province which it is endeayoring to
re-subjugate, and our government should con-
clude a treaty with such province whereby il
would become part of our Union without the
consent of said nation, thus iorcbly Wrestling
from her portion of her territory, would we
not necessarily incur the war which was being
prosecuted against the revolted province
And we ask any candid man if this would be
acting according TO the maxim of Washington,
TO "obSerge GOOD FAITH and JUSTICE tOudrdS
all nations" and to be "always guided by an
exalted Justice and 6enevOlence ?" He also adds
that "rehgion and morality enjoin this con.
duct" The history Of the world proves, that
whenever an enlightened and civilized nation
has become SO corrupt as wilfully to disregard
the principles of"religion and morality" it has
almost invariably been visited by the righteous
vengeance of God; and especially so if such
nation claimed TO be under his immediate
providence and protection, as is the case with
US. OF this fact, the history of the children
Of Israel furnishes ample testimony. 1t be.
hooves US, then, as great people, strictly to
observe those principles, that the consequent
ces of Gods wrath may be turned away from
our country.
Let those who speak lightly Of an act of in
Justice towards Mexico, for the contemplate
reason that she is weak potUer, and not able
to resist our force, remember that any ,oar
may involve us in ruin which has not justice
TO support it on our part.
