A gentleman who came down from
San Francisco on the steamer Pa.
mama, informed us yesterday tina, the
ravages Of the cholera on that steam.
err were terrible. The passengers
had INDUCED most freely in fruits at
Acapulco, which doubtless contrib.
uted to the severity of the disease.
On the day before the steamer reach.
ed Panama. the deaths were so nu-
merous and the CONSERVATION so great,
that no proper attention was paid to
the sick. and the dead were thrown
overheard with lump of coal dashed
to them, hut no other attention was
given them. Men dropped down and
died almost instantly, and no attack
lasted more than a few hours. On
reaching Panama, every soul fled
from the ship. and it was doubtful
whether the officers and crew could
be collected to take her back to San
Francisco. Among the victims of
the disease were DR.. l.. Roper, the
we'll known and distinguished dentist
Of PhIadcl phia; James Dale. also of
PhiladeI phia, and John Barker, of

THE DISTRICT SLAVE TRADE BILL,


The following is the bill to suppress
the slave trade in the District Of Col.
umbia, as it passed the Senate:
Sec. l. Be it enacted by the Senate
and House of Representatives OF the
United States of America in Congress
assembled, That from and after the
first day Of January next, it shall not
be lawful to bring into the District of
Columbia any slave whatever, for
the purpose Of being sold, or for the
purpose of being placed in depot, to
be subsequently transferred to any
other State or place, to be sold as
merchandise. And if any slave shall
be brought into the said District by
its owner, or by the authority or con.
sent of its owner, contrary to the
provisions Of this act such slaves shall
thereupon become liberated and free.
Sec. 2. And be it further enacted:
That it shall and may be lawful for
each of the corporations of the cities
Of Washington and Georgetown; from
time to time, and rs often as may be
necessary, to abate, break up, and
abolish any depot or place of conline.
ment Of slaves brought into the said
District as merchandise, contrary to
the provisions of this act, by such
appropriate means as may appear to
either of the said corporations expe~
dent and proper. And the same
power is hereby vested in the levy
court Of Washington county, if any
attempt shall be made with in its
jurisdctlonal limits, to establish
depot or place of confinement for
slaves brought into the said District
as merchandise for sale contrary to
this act.

CONGRESS-.
WASHINGTON, June 9TH


SENArE--Mr. Mason presented COM
munication from the Public Printers,
asking to be released from their contract,
on the ground of the prices having prov
cd ruinously low. The matter was de-
bated and referred to the Committee on
Printing.
Mr.. King asked to be excused from
serving on the Footc and Benton Com
mittcc. on account of the prejudice a
gainst him, arising in the committec-room.
His request was granted.
MIR. Dickinson submitted a commune
cation from the proprictors Of the New
York Sun, denying the charge that they
had set on foot the Cuban expedition.
The Senate resumed the consideration
of the Compromise bill, when Mr.. Glenn
ems submitted an amendment to the Bath
section of the bill, Of which he gave no.
tice yesterday.
Mr.. Clay said thathe regarded that
section simply as an overture to Texas,
for settlement of the disputed bounda-
ny. The Rio Grandc never was the
western limit Of Texas, and she had no
title to any part of New Mexico. lie
argued in favor of leaving the question Of
the existence of slavery in New Mexico
by the local laws, to the decision of the
Supreme Court, and urged the importance
of waving minor considerations, for the
settlement of the impending difficulty.
Recent sanguinary conflicts, in Santa Fe,
between the people of that place and the
Texan authorities, showed New Mexico
to he in perious situation, and threat
ened with civil wa.
Mr. Rusk replied ,o Mr.. Clay, and de-
Tended the claim of Texas.
A discussion of four hours duration
took place on Mr.. Clemens resolution,
MIR Rusk said the people of Texas were
willing to cede portion of their terrific
ny for fair equivalent. lie presented
the claims Of Texas to the territory in
question, in a learned and able arru-
ment.
Mr.. Davis, of Mass. replied to Mr..
Rusk, and opposed the amendment. He
thoroughly reviewed the whole subject,
and contended that the, United States
had conquered, acquired, and paid for
the disputed territory, and therefore the
right to fix the boundaries.
Mr.. Douglas said he saw much merit
in Mr. Clemcns's amendment. The re-
moval Of the Indians proposed in it would
enlarge the Territories, and separate the
Indians from the whites. and locate and
concentrate the former where they we're
best adapted to reside, and could lie most
easily governed. He suggested one mod.
ihcation, 80 as not to disturb the white
population Of New Mexico.
Mr.. Cas- briefly stated several reasons
why he should vote against tho amend
ment, but expressed no opinion as to the
merits Of the claim Of Texas.
Mr. Butler said the Government sub
Stimulated the claim of Texas, by becon.
ing her ally in the war with Mexico, and
in eonquering tbs territory. lie could not
now see the propriety Of tie Government
turning against her.
Mr.. Foo,e read an amendment which

like these End . response in isvsry

We repeat that Mr.. Clayton has
won for himself and for the Admins
,ratioa, the respect and admiration
Of the r!gh.-.hinking people Of the
country, for the able craftsmanship
he has displayed a. Secretary Of
State. And this has been done too,
in the face and eyes Of one Of the
most thoroughly false, danderou' and
corrupt oppositiOns to which public
man was ever exposed
Who does not remember the daily
columns Of SANDER and falsehood
which teemed in the New Yord Her
aid, and tho Washington Union, and
from thence copied into the Loco
Foco papers in all parts of the Union
Even our neighbor Of the Post would
have his three line jokes at these as
saults at reputation and character,
pretty much as Petit Andrew. in
Quentin Durward, would have at the
expense Of the victim whom he was
to hang on the next tree.
Mr.. Clayton has lived down his
assailants. and Of latc we have seen
attempts at praise Of him in the polut.
cd columns of the Herald. How hon.
orable ard acceptable must be the Of
q public servant, when it EFFORTS
praise from an opponent so lost to

the instance Of the publication of Spen-
GERS Poems, --the only hard knocks he
having received coming from rival pub

occasional candidate for poetic honors,
prove the truth of the adagc. OF the

The publication before us consists of
forty-three poems, for the most part of a

The most perfect production in the work
is Ballad, embodying a Rhenish Leg

author to practice that style, urging him
at the same time to remember that the
principle charm Of that form Of comno-
sition lies in flowing aJar don, combln-

HON. JOHN NJ. CLAYTON.

The distinguished ability with which
Mr.. Clayton has discharged the du-
ties Of Secretary Of State, for the
year past, has won for him the respect
and confidence OF every intelligent
person. While he has sustained with
marked ability our rights with for.
eign powers, he has also guarded the
rights Of others, and given to them
their full weight and their honest in
depreciation. His correspondence
with Baron Roenne, in relation to the
fitting out of war steamer for the
German powers to operate against
Denmark, was most triumphant vim
dication Of our regard for treaty
stipulations. The digniied and able
manner with which he rebuked the
presumptious impudence of NJ. Pou.
sin,the French minister aud sustained
in that controversy the honor Of the
country will not soon be forgotten. In
every act of his official career, he has
exhibited a broad and comprehensive
mind and an honest and patriotic in
tention. His official communication
will bear comparison with any Of
the illnstrious men who have preced-
ed him in the chair Of State. The
treaty with Great Britain in regard
to the ship canal across the Isthmus,
which was negotiated by Mr. Clayton,
secures to the mercantile marine Of
American rights Of great value, and
sets at rest controversy which in
more unskillful hands might have EN-.
broiled our country in war with
Great Britain.
The active energy displayed to
maintain in good faith our treaty slip.
ulations. and neutral obligations with
Spain, BY supprcssing the maraud-

which he protests against the Span
