orable Senator from Michigan himself would
be most appropriate person to send on such
an interesting occasion, 10 sue for soma CON-
slderatlon for Hungary-to plead her cause.
and endeavor to obtain for her that redress and
consideration which her wrongs and her bravery
were entitled to. The object of foreign rnis-
SONS was not TO benefit the country TO which
we send representatives, but to protect Ameri-
can interests abroad
II was proposed, because of our abhorrence
o! Austrian butcheries, and Austria disregard
OF hungarian independence, TO famish Amer
lcan merchants and sailOrs-to deprive our cit
lzenS OF whatever advantage might be derived
from the diplomatic relations existing between
the Two natlons-such a course could be iustl-
he'd by no argument whatever
Mr.. Clay also vindcated the consistency of
Als present action, IN view OF his former course
with reference to the South American states,
referred to by Mr.. Cass in his speech If it
was proper that the United States government
should take any action on this subject, il might
more justly be had with reference to Russia,
who had lntertered UPON shallow pretext, and
defeated hungarian independence when she
had already achieved it.
Nlr. Clay also proceeded to show by cogent
argument and familiar illustrations that If the
precedent for the principle in question was es-
tabiIshed, there was no limitation, auaifca-
ton or restriction as to how tar, or on what
subject, whether religion, morals, or what not,
which could be adopted. The course proposed
TO be pursued was in direct contradiction to
the policy laid down and followed by Wash.
lngton, and every administration to the present
time. If we were to become the censors of
nations, wherefore are we to stop, and why
should we look to the cause of Hungary alone
Why not take up the cause of Ireland and
still more that of unhappy Rome, which had
been alluded to
The honorable gentlemen had expressed the
fear that he (Mr. Clay) belonged 10 the stand
still school OF politicians He would like to
hear definition of the progress which the
gentleman had designed TO advocate The
party of which the Senator from Michigan was
q distinguished disciple, was opposed TO the
improvement Of our great water courses, also
to system of progress which should re-
lleVe US from dependence for necessaries of
life upon a foreign land. What then did he
mean by progress?
Mr.. Clay feared that the progress which he
advocated was progression of conquests. ter
rltorial aggrandlsenent, and foreign wars. IF
so, he thanked God he was Of the stand still
school, as opposed to such progress as that 20
which he had alluded.
In conclusion, Mr. Clay did not think that it
became the Senate 10 Jake such unnecessary
and Perllous ground as had been proposed, and
hoped that the Senate would at once reject the
proposition without reference or hesitation.
In the House II ballots have been taken
without efechng an election. The last
ballot stood Forney, loco, lO3 Foote,
whig, 98: scattering l6.
From present appearances there will be
as much difficulty to elect Clerk as there
was to elect Speaker.

Newspaper Postage.

| The Elkton MD Whig has commu-
mcation from Th: Jefferson Sutherland on
the value Il Improvement of County News
papers, well written and strongly worded,
which closes with the following
PROPOSED RATES OF NEWSPAPER POSTAGE.
| !. To be free Of Postage-alI newspapers and
magazines, mot exceeding single copy of each
separate publications. addressed to the editors
or publishers Of any other newspaper or maga-
zines.
Tins proposes 10 change in the present
law, except as to magazines and as the
encouragement to County Newspapers
should be given as much in reference to
education as to the circulation of news or
gossip, the magazine exchanges, as well
! as the newspaper, should be conveyed in
the mails free of postage, the magazines
being generally of the higher order OF liter
ature.
2. To be free Of Posiage- all newspapers and
magazines addressed to persons residing in the
counties wherein the same have been printed
This would be change from the pro-
visions of the present law; and one which
the cause of education demands. ItwouId
I tend to increase the circulation of the
County Newspapers, and magazines, and
afford protection TO them against the
competition OF the city prints and REPRINTS
3 One cent POStage-on each newspaper of
not more than l400 superficial inches in size ad-
dressed to persons, other than the editors aud
publishers Of newspapers and magazines, resid-
ing out OF the county where the same has been
printed.
This would include all of the large sized
sheets called imperial; q sheet of3I by Is
inches.
4. Tco cents Postage-on each newspaper Of
more than 1900 superficial inches in size, ad-
dressed to persons, other than the editors and
ing out Of the county where the same has been
printed.
In this class would be included none
bat the mammoth sheets, worked on print
ing machines, class of newspapers which
are mostly reprints from the type set for
city dailies, and which rely more upon
their imposing size, than the value of the
matter which the papers contain, for their
circulation.
). One cent Pcstage-for each ounce in weight
of every magazine addressed to persons, other
than the editors and publishers Of newspapers
and magazines, residing out Of the county where
the same has been printed
This provision would place magazines
on the same footing as newspapers, for
which there are many good reasons.

Correspondence of the Gazette.
BALTIMORE, Jan'y 6, 1850.

,
Mr.. EDITOR Feeling in very good
humor this morning, | have concluded to
drop you line or two, in order TO induct
your readers into some Of the various Incl
dents that have been traEspiring within the
past week. The most important event
that has come to my knowledge IS the fact
that a iUe printer has absolutely been
favored, unlike the common lot of the fra
temity, with the propitious smiles Of dame
fortune, he having fallen heir to an estate
in England, valued at 100000. This
certainly is an anomaly in the history Of
the times /; for printer Uith money had
become so rare sight, that, it is said,
Barnum, of the Philadelphia Museum, had
acumally been searching for one, TO eX-
hibit as natural curiosity.
On Sunday morning, the young men
and boys of the city made regular turn
out, at Spring Gardens, TO have a skating
frolic, the ice being thick and in excellent
order. Several hundred had gathered at
one time and, of course, numbers of fights
ensued. In a conflict between two par
ties, who are known by the appelalion of
g Cock Robbins" and q Sandy Bottoms"
several pistols were fired, and no less than
two received serious wounds. Strange as
it may appear, the police did not interfere,
but suffered these dcspcradoes to continue
their outrages through the whole day.
The Friendship Fire Company, Of this
city, accompanied by their splended engine
and apparatus, last week paid a visit to
New York and Philadelphia, and were
received by the different fire companies of
those cities in the most cordial manner.
They returned again on Sunday morning,
and as they marched from the depot to
their engine house, made quite a handsome
appearance. Many Of the members bore
ocular evidences of the esteem of their
brother 6remen, who they had visited, in
the shape Of equipments, beautiful boquets,
wreaths, pictures, d., and the engine was
literally covered with boquets and wreaths
bestowed by the New York and Phila-
delphia ladies', and no doubt these fragrant
mementoes will long be cherished by the
recipients with true Maryland gallantry.
Numerous petty larcenies having been
recently committed, our officers were ar
duous in exertions to ferret out the depre-
dators, and on Saturday last succeeded in
arresting several OF them. The house in
which they were found being searched,
was found to be a regular variety shop
cut pieces of calico, cloth, linen, clothing,
knives, forks, spoons, brushes, casiors,
umbrellas, saws, hats, tumblers, drums OF
figs, candies, &C., &C., being found IN
sufficient abundance TO furnish country
| store.
! The California fever has not altogether
disappeared yet in our community; every
vessel bound for San Francisco carrying
numbers of adventurers to the gold regions,
/ Two schooners leave our port this week
/ for that country, laden with flour, &c.
! The weather has been extremely cold
bnt very little snow has as yet fallen.
Yesterday it moderated somewhat, anC
rained all day, rendering it quite disagree
able out Of doors. There is no specia
stir in the markets worth noticing at TIN.
/ time. Yours, respectfully, IL.

REMARKABLE EsCAPE.-A vessel arrived
at Boston last week with a yellow girl, d
slave, belonging in Wilmington, n. c.,
who had been sccreted on board by the

Wilmington smoked the vessel several
times, after loudly announcing that they
would smother her if she did not show
herself. 1t was all unsuccessful. She re-
mained secure in her hiding place. Dur
