R5~ Our readers will find this week, on
the first page, an abstract ofan exciting de-
bate in the u. S. Senate, arising out of an
attempt to kidnap number of slaves at
Washington and riotous assemblagc in
consequence thereof, in front of the "Na-
tional Era' office, an abolition paper, pub
lished at Washington. MIR. Calhoun in the
course of his remarks, assailed Pennsylvania
for late act of assembly, in relation to flu
gitive slaves. Gen'l Cameron, in reply,
vindicated the character of Pennsylvania,
declaring that although Pennsylvania was
opposed to slavery, she would sanction nc
violation of the constitution, to bring about
It's abolition.

authority for the report, and am disposed TO
doubt the truth; for Pena Pena is desirous
of the ratification of the treaty. his only pros
pect of succeeding is by pressing the subject
upon Congress Immediately.
The prospect is still favorable for a speedy

my own part, notwithstanding the contradic-

be disappointed if the treaty is not ratified

CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS.
WASHINGTON, April Goth, lS4S

In SENATE.-A message was received from
the President respecting furnishing aid to Yu-
catan, and asking that power be given him
to send our military forces to prevent further
massacre of the white inhabitants of Yucatan
by the Indians.
Mr.. Hanuegan moved that the message be
referred to the Committee on Foreign At
fairs.
MIR. Calhoun thought the proposition con-
tanned in the message, was unusual and dan
gerous. He had hoped that the Mexican wal
had taught lesson to the President to abstain
from interference with the affairs of other ma.
tions.
MIR. Foote said according to his understand
ing, the Senator from South Carolina had mis-
understood the object of the message lie
was proceeding TO explain, but gave way tc
motion TO adjourn, which was made and car.
ried, in consequence of the decease of MIR
Ashley, Senator from Arkansas.
House OF REpREsENTATIvEs-M Mckay
moved to reconsider the resolution adopted
yesterday, respecting binding by contract.
He made some remarks on the subject
when, it was informally postponed to receive
the message from the President relative tc
Yucatan.
Mr.. Rockwell, of Massachusetts, moved t.
refer it to the Committee on Territories, ant
on this motion commenced speech upor
the annexation of new territory. In the mids
Of his remarks intelligence was received o.
the decease of Mr.. Ashley, and the House ad
jouned.

yUCATAN.

The President has transmitted to Con-
gress, messare in relation to Yucatan.-
This unfortunate Province of Mexico, has
declared her Independence, and is treated
by us as a neutral state of the Mexican Re-
public. The insurrcction OF the Indians,
who are waging war of determination, a.
gainst the whites, or rather mixed popula-
ton, must end in their total Instruction.
They therefore call on our government to
interpose and save them. The President
says if we had troops to spare, we might
occupy the country, and protect the inhabi-
tants from the merciless Indians. The fol-
lowing is an abstract from the message -
II submit for the consideration of Congress
several communications, received at the De-
partment of State, from nj. Justo Sierra,
Commissioner of Yucatan, and also a commu-
nication from the Governor of the State, re-
presenting the condition of extensive suffer-
ing TO which their country has been reduced
by the insurreciion of the Indians within its
States.
These communications present a case of
human suffering and misery which cannot
fail TO excite the sympathy Of all civilized
nations. From these and other sources of
information, it appears that the Indians of
Yucatan are waging a war of determination
against the white race. In this civil war they
spare neither age nor sex, but put to death
indiscriminately all who fall in their power.
The inhabitants, panic stricken and destitute
of arms, are flying before their savage pursu-
ers towards the Coast, and their expulsion
from their country or their determination
would seem to be inevitable, unless they can
obtain assistance from abroad
In this condition they have, through their
constituted authorities, implored the aid of
this government TO save them from destruc-
ton, offering, in case this should be granted
to transfer the the "dominion and sovereign.
ty of the Peninsula" to the United States
Similar appeals for aid and protection have
been made to ''the Spanish and English gov.
tTilIneutS.
Whilst it is not my purpose TO recommend
the adoption Of any measure with a view 10
the acquisition of ''domain and sovereignty
over Yucatan, yet according to our establish
ed policy we could not consent to transfer
Of this "domain and sovereignty" either to
Spain, Great Britain or any other European
power. In the language Of President Mum
roe, in his message of December, 1923, 1--WE
should consider any attempt on iheir part tc
extend their system TO any portion of this
hemisphere, as dangerous to our peace ant
safety" In my annual message of December
1s45, declared that nearly quarter of {
century ago, the principle was distinctly an
nounced to the world in the annual message
of one of my predecessors, that the "Ameri
can Continent by the free and Independent
condition which they assumed and maintain
are henceforth not to be considered as sub
jeets for the future colonization by any Eu
ropean power.'" aa Base

THE NATIONAL CONVENTION.

The Democratic National Convention
will assemble at Baltimore on the 4th Mon
day ofthe present month. Its proceedings
will be looked for with more interest proba-
bly,, than any Convention that has ever ~
sembled for similar purpose. WHO the
nominee will be is even beyond conjecture.
MIR. Buchanan, Gen. Cass, Mr.. Dallas and
Levi Woodbury. are the most prominent in
iividuals now before the people, but such
is the state of affairs, that il is doubtful
whether either of the above candidates can
receive the nomination. Mr.. Polk's name
is sometimes mentioned, but we cannot
think that his nomination can be seriously
urged. There will, no doubt, be some
trouble in selecting proper person, and it
is all important that the nominee should be
one on whom all could unite.
The Wings will hold their Convention
on the 9th of June, in Philadelphia. They
will have their own troubles, and the con-
test between the conflicting parties will be
severe. Mr.. Clay's friends will, no doubt,
insist upon his nomination, but they con-
stitute the minority of the Wing party
He has many friends and admirers who,
nevertheless, think him unavailable. 1t is
rumored that on attempt will be made TO
get Scott and Clay upon one ticket. There
is no doubt, but that Mr.. Clay's friends
will throw their influence in favor of Scott,
especially as they have but little love for
Gen. Taylor who, we predict, will yet give
them much trouble.
