ously attributed the Richmond speech to the latter,
and more recently the Democratic candidate for
Doorkeeper of the House of Representatives, is
proved to be swinder. From statements in the

IMPORTANT DEBATE.

In these excitable times. almost every thing
that is said in our national councils, on certain
questions that involve the harmony of the Confe-
deracy, and possibly its existence, deserves the
attention of the people. We therefore devote
most of our space, to-day, to a very interesting
debate, which took place in the Senate OF the
United States, on Thursday last, upon Mr.. Gle
mems resolution of inquiry, concerning the estab-
lishment of civil government in California.
We invite the readers consideration especially
to some important points evolved by the discus
sion; such as Mr.. Douglass unwarrantable and
well repealed effort to fix upon the Administra-
ton desire to conceal its acts from Congress;
the willingness of that Senator at the same time,
to assume the credit of originating the State 60
vernment which the people of California have
adopted for themselves; the exposure, by Mr. Gle
mems, of his indirect purposes in exhibiting so
sudden zeal for the institution OF the proposed
inquiry; the refusal of Senators Butler and King
and others to sustain Mr.. Douglass ill-executed
demonstration; the bold denunciations of Mr. Gle
mems against the Northern Democracy, who have
so often been Landed by their Southern allies as
LliG Itutttf vi AoOutliCih
ly, the almost perfect unanimity with which Wing
Senators united in seconding the call of the op-
position for information, although the House of
Representatives was known to be already in pos
session of the same facts that were in the con-
temptation of the Senate's resolution.
The speech of Mr.. Dickinson, of New York,
which we shall publish tomorrow, entities that
gentleman to the praise of every Southern press,
and we cheerfully awardit ours, although we have
W not been admirers of his public course. In the
Presidential canvass of lS4S, he was one Of those
who took special pains to impress the North with
the belief that Gen. Cass's plan of abandoning the
Wilmot Proviso, and relying upon the people of
the Territories to prohibit slavery (betore they
came to form State Governments) was, Ito use
the expression of Mr. Hallett of Boston, ga bet
ter Free Soil doctrine But the sentiments
which he boldly uttered in the present speech are
free from all suspicion of shutting. He touches
directly the great issue between the North and the
South, and has the manliness and the wisdom to
disregard the pressure of sectional preudices, and
to call upon the Northern people to forbeF. We
could pardon him many sins for assuming this pa
frotc position. Other Northern statesmen, OF
both parties, must stand by him. or woes unnum-
bered may come upon our beloved country.

The Washington correspondent of the Charles.
ton Courier writes as follows:

WASHINGTON, Jan. I3, 1850
Mr.. Amos E. Wood was unsupported, in some of the
papers in the account of his speech the election of
Mr.. Campbell His thunder was directed, not against
the South Carolina delegation only, but against the
whole South The following is the official report of
Mr. Woods proclamation, on the part of Northern
Democracy to wit:
"Mr Wood said he was extremely gratifed that the
Southern Democrats had shown their principles and
position, the result of the last BALLOT that he felt re-
heved and that dissolution Of oil political connec-
tion betaoeen the Northern and Southern Democracy
ought to take place."
1t is very likely to take place, things are going on
and this Congress will do what it can to promote the
object. MIR Wood is to be the Democratic candidate
for Governor of Ohio, and OF course may be consi-
dered as representing the sentiments Of the party in taa
State.
The Northern men discourse. to-day upon the cleo

that will dispease their constituents, and promote Sec

LIEUT.. MAURY AND PROF. DEBOW.


We see, by the New Orleans papers, that Lieut.
NJ F. Maury and Prof ]. d. B. DeBow have
fallen into controversy about an address recently
published by committee appointed at the Mem
phis Convention. Both gentlemen were members
of the committee. The address, it seems was
prepared by Mr. DeBow, in conformity with the
views of a majority of the committee. Lieut..
Maury's name was signed to the paper, with a
note stating that he dissented from some parts OF
it. This, in a letter published in the Picayune
Lieut.. NJ. bitterly complains of. He accuses the
committee of simplifying the Memphis Conven-
ton by repudiating him, its President, and, in re-
ference to their conduct, it seems that he uses the
expressions, ''libe," "outrage," andignity" &c.
We have not seen the letter of Lieut. NJ and
gather this much concerningit from the reply of
Prot. DeBow, who seems determined to keep him.
self cool. He contends that the majority of the
committee had the right to sign the names of the
minority, provided there was no minority report.
at cannot have slipped your memory Che says0 either
that when, on passing through New Orleans you desired
TO prepare the address stated my instructions from the
committee report differently from your views and adj
ysed you prepare and publish, your own name
a minority statement This you refused! !"
Finally, the Professor, after some very delicate
scimitar cuts, tells the distinguished Savan of the
National Observatory
"Be in better humor, Lieut. Maury, and reconsider
whether you or am the aggreved party in this cor
respondenee. Upon my word have not been rufled
for instant and my personal regards for you are still
OF the highest character As you say in the Pcayune 81
have only felt II a duty TO set myself right" &C.
We are sorry to see this little quarrel, and we
really cannot think that Lieut. Maury should feel
himself aggrieved at the committees publishing
their address without his cooperation, His own
admirable address, from steamboat on the Missis-
sippi river, is production that will do him far
more honour than any thing he could have written
to fit the notions of several other minds.
