Loco. FOCo Love FOR Observation-Disclosures
Focoism, when it wants votes, makes
high sounding pretensions OF love for
lrishmen, but seldom fails to insult Irish
men whenever it can. The vote in the
Senate on Thursday last is significant. A
motion was made that Father Mathew be
allowed the privilege Of a seat within the
bar of the Senate, during his sojourn in
the Metropolis. The benevolent old man
has warm admirers in all classes. Even
those who gain their livelihood by the
sale of ardent spirits, pay homage to the
genius of the pious philanthropist. Ii
was finally put to vote and carried by
nearly two to one; 33 Senators voting for
it, and Is against it. Those who voted
against - nj ", give another
chance for Immortality in our columns
noting their politics.
Messrs. Atchison, Badger, Berrien,
B0rldnd. Butler, Calhoun, Clemens, Da.
vis, of Mississippi, Dawson, FOote, Hun.
ter Mason. Morton, Pearce. RUsk, Sc.
bastian, TIrney, Yulee-lS.
Thus out of the IS who tried to insult
this benevolent apostle in a strange land
l3 are Loco Focos.-M Y. Tribune.

rery.-The New York Dry Goods Re-
porter says, and repeats that Mr.. Clay is
about to introduce . compromise tariff
bill, to stand for twenty years, wherein
specific and ad valorem duties are COM
bined. It is not acquainted with the de-
tails, bu; understand that he does not pro.
pose to raise the present scale of duties,
but only to substitute the specific for the
ad valorem where it can be done.
Mr.. Forney, of the Pennsylvania,
writes from Washington that he has eve,
ry reason to anticipate that General Cass
will early take occasion to bring forward
compromise proposition upon the excl
ting slavery issue.

The editor ofthe Prairie QlI) Democrat
says of a recent interview with General

1--WE had it from the lips of Gen. Cass
himself, but few months ago, that he
should certainly vote for the admission
of California as a State, with Constitu-
lion prohibiting slavery as he consider
ed that the only legitimate way to settle
the question in the territories. We un-
derstand this to be Gen. Cass' position,
without any hearsay or conjecture about

SOUTHERN FEnLINo- Message of the
Governor of Alabama.-The Inaugural
Message of the Governor of Alabama,
Mr.. Collier, is more moderate in its
views than we had anticipated. 1t is
quite lengthy, as long as the Presidents
Message, and sophmoric in its compost
ton. After accommodating continued re-
monstrances against the restriction Of Sla-
very by Congress, he closes this branch
of his Message, as folows:--
If our remonstrances are contemned,
our constitutional rights violated, aud our
feelings insulted, trusting in the justice
of our cause, let US, with proper appre'
citation of the consequences, act decided
ly, firmly and unitedly.
There may be honest differences OF
opinion as to the time for action; but
present indications induce the belief that
this will be dispassionately considered
and decided, upon joint consultation OF
the slave states. When that convention
shall assemble, Alabama will be there,
Some of her chosen sons shall give ut
terance to the united sentiment Of her
people. With her prosecuted sisters,
she will present an unbroken front to in
suit the usurpation; and if the bright
stars which have Aoated from the Allan
tic to the Pacific, and on every sea, shall be
destined to form seperate consultations
then we will exclaim, not as did the i'm
mortalized murderer, but in the language
of truth, "Thou can'st not say did it,

Petitions and motions are submitted,

The scene of the I'd, in the Senate
will be found fully pictured off in the

Columbus mail last night, and are with
out the details of the proceedings of the

those of the Cd, and we may add of yes

We need not comment upon these
disgraceful scehes. We would rather
let the reader form his own opinions Of
them. We had hoped that the effort to
trample under foot the law of the State
had exhausted itself; But vain hope, il
is still persisted in without any regard To

that the first district of Hamilton county
is better represented in the Senate this
winter, than it was in the House year
ago.
If the Wings of the Senate needed
any prompting, we would say to them
stand firm and decided. You are in the
right-you cannot, as honorable men
yield it. This is the universal opinion
of your friends here, and you will lose
their respect and confidence if you d,

FRoM HAYTI-- The american Flag
Di~espected--A letter of Dec, y from
the American consul at Aux Cuyes, de-
livered by the captain Of the brig Wis
suhicon. at New York, speaks of the in
solence of the new monarchical Govern
ment, particularly to white citizens Of the
United States. The consul, Mr.. Loring,
says:
my life was threatened by high au.
thority yesterday. The Duke was heard
to say "Of with his head! off with his
head!- !-damn the whites that keep slaves!

ics" wish you to report this, as shall
take the earliest possible opportunity to
inform our government how the Ameri-
can flag is treated in this part of the Is
land. and her citizens made to suffer the
most Walton and scandalous insult and
abuse"
The French Consul,s life has also been
threatened. This conduct on the part Of
the subjects of"Faustin the first" will no
doubt receive due attention from the re-
|spective governments concerned. The
Dominicans were advancing with 700
men against Aux Cages, and if the ne
groes behave as badly as represented a.
bove. it would be benefit to the Island
for the Spaniards to give Faustin good
trouncing. The captain ofthe Wissah.

ONO LEatsL LATURE.-We are without
letter from our Columbus correspondent
to-day. From some cause'it failed to
come to hand last night. The telegraph
despatch, however, published on yester-
day morning, gives pretty fair idea Of
the scene in the Senate. Mr. Burns cal
led Mr.. Broadwell an "outsider," when
the latter told him that he did not allow
such language to be used towards him.
Mr.. Burns "come down the tree" and
said that he would take it back then. He
meant it in no offensive sense.

that if these are allowed the amount in

will have to wait some time yet before
we can foot up the balances of the Mex
