The editors of the N. .. Picayune have re-

think, from all can learn from good author
ity, and from persons who know the country
and the men well, that the revolution in eastern
Mexico was got up merely to have chance to
inundate the Mexican provinces on the Rio
Grande with goods from the American side OF
the river free of duty. Brownsville has been
rapidly going down within the last six months
in consequence of the severe watch kept by the
Mexican authorities over the smugglers, and in
consequence. patriotism rose and pitched into
the Mexican authorities. This was told by q
gentleman from Galveston, who had just re.
turned from Brownsville, and who had lived
there long enough nearly to become mayor
He says the town was being deserted, on account
of lack of trade. Hence the revolution
The Texas legislature appear TO be deter
mined to get Congress to pass an act repeating
that provso in Pearce's bill, by which So 100000
of the United States stock, to be issued to Texas
are to be retained by the u. s. Treasurer until
the creditors of Texas, for whose claims the
republic mpost duties were pledged as security,
shall all have filed with the treasurer releases
of their claims against the United States. The
Texas Legislators wish themselves to file releases
to the United States, to take the reserved S.
100000 stock into their own hands, and settle
with their creditors in their own way. There
are many of the claims against them which they
will SCALE. e. pay what the State received
not what the claims bear on their face A
heavy claimholder shere from the North, logroll
ing and caucusing, but don't think he will
succeed to the extent he would wish.
The second class claims, amounting TO over
! 100000, due TO citizens of Texas for services
rendered, or lossesincurred in the service Of the
State, will undoubtly be paid in full The gov
ernor recommends it strongly, and the DISPOSE
ton is general to pass an appropriation at an
early period for the purpose. In the course Of
three months these claims will be at, or very
near, par. They are now worth City and sixty
cents on the dollar, with the privilege of rise
for sixty days. Few are Offering, however. A
month or so ago they were worth from twenty to
thirty cents on the dollars.
The legislature will not take up the exciting
question of the estate debt" for some time yet
until Congress meets. II is very probable
that the State representation in Congress will
be instructed TO insist on the measure have
above mentioned.

THE COAST SURVEY.
The reception of the annual report of the Su
perntendent of the Coast Survey having been an
nounced, Mr.. EVANS of Md, moved that it bt
laid upon the table, and 10000 extra copies--500(
for the use Of the Bnreau-ordered to be printed
Mr.. STEPHENS, OLGA, objected to the print
ing of this extra number unusual and unne
cessary
Mr. JONES, of Tenn, commended that the mat
ter should properly be referred to the Committee
on Printing
Mr. EVANS believed that such reference
woud'appIy to the message and documents, but moi
to a report from this bureau.
A member suggested that no Printing Committee
had yet been appointed.
Mr.. STEPHENS believed that the printing OF
10 900 extra copies would be attended with con
siderable expense and but little profit.
MIR. EVANS said that it was document much
sought for by commercial men in all parts of tht
world, in Europe, North and South America, &c
1t contained large amount of valuable informa
ton, laid down the latitude and longitude Of
vast number (from two to three thousand, he be
lieved, J new positions, as well the exact posi-
ton of light houses Extra copies had always
been ordered, and he could not imagine why tn,
gentleman from Georgia (Mr. STEPHENs,) SHOULD
oppose having them printed in the present In
stance.
| Mr.. BAYLY, of Va, said that although h,
| represented very considerable commercial int
rest on Chesapeake Bay, still he did not attach
the same importancete the printing of extra copies
ofthis document, as the member from Maryland
| (Mr. EVANS had done. All the shipping int
rests cannot be supplied by the extra numbers
proposed and they will mostly go only into thu
| hands of chart makers.
! Mr.. PHELPS, of Missouri, rose to a question
of order. II referred to the rules and Journals
TO show that the matter should properly go to the
committee on Printing.
After some further debate,
The SPEAKER announced that the report would
be laid on the table and referred to the Committee
on Printing when appointed, unless objected to
and by general consent the matter was thus dis
posed Of.
Mr. JONES moved that when the House ad

affirmative, the motion was carried.

REIIoIoUs lNToLERANcE.--An unrati6ed treaty
between the government Of the United States
and the Swiss coniederacy, discriminatss between
Jews of the United States and other ciiyens.
The Secretary of State, in a letter to the Hebrew
Organ in New York, says, that this government
will not ratify treaty with the Swiss cvnfeder.
aoy which makes any determinations against
citizens of the United States Of the Jewish per.
suasion." This is n correct decision. Our gov
eminent has nothing to do with the religious
opinions Of any man; and we had hoped that
the intelligence Of the age had put an end to
religious intolerance. For long time the Jews
were excluded from office even in Maryland;
but more just sentiments having at last prevailed
all distinction between them ana other citizens
was removed Any discrimination against oiti-
zens OF the United States Of the Jewish persua-
sion, Incorporated into treaty with foreign
power, is eertainly inadmissibie; and we arp
glad that our government viii not sanction such
intolerance.

The MEMORY or JUDGE WooDBURY.--At
the opening of the Supreme Court OF the Uni
ted States on Tu, sday last, Attorney General
Crltenden announced the death of Judge Levi
Woodbury., and submitted brief tribute TO
his abilities and worth, and expressive of the
feelings Of The bar Of the court with reference
to his loss.
Chief Justice fancy replied as follows;
The Court is very sensible of the loss it has
sustained in the death of Judge Woodbury.. lie
had been member OF the court but few
years, yet he was long enough on the bench to
leave behind him, in he reports Of the decisions
of the court, the proofs Of his great learning
and industry and Of his eminent qualifications
for the high Office he filed
His life had been passed mainly in the public
service before he became member of this
court and in the various and important offices,
Judicial and political, to which he had been APP
pointed, he was always found equal to the du-
ties imposed upon him, and never failed to dis
tinguish himself by the extent and accuracy of
his information upon every subject connected
with his official duties, or upon which he was at
any time called uron to act. The same learn
ing and the same untring industry marked his
brief course on this bench. We all feel that we
have lost in him an able, upright and learned
associate, and most truly and sincerely deplore
his death; and we cordially unite with the bar
in the resolutions they have presented, and shall
order them to be entered on the records of the
court

.4ey" The MarysoiAe Tribune thus speaks OF
GENERAL ScoTT and HOME INDUSTRY -
General Scott attended the State Fair of Ma.
ryand. Before entering the saloon, the illust-
rious visitor was received and welcomed to the
hall of the managers room by the president OF
the institute, Joshua Vansant, esq, who after a
few appropriate remarks, concluded with the
following happily expressed sentiment, which
was drank in champagne:
sour guests Of the occasion, and especially
General Scott, who, cmbalmed in the hearts of
his nation, is always his nations guest"
To this the general briefly and eloquently
responded, and concluded by offering this senti-
ment:
"The Mechanical and Industrial Arts-Foster
them, and our country will be independent of
the world"
After this brief interchange of sentiment, the
general was escorted up through the saloon to
the rostrum under the south gallery, the lnde-
pendent Greys' band performing Hail to the
Chief" whilst the east hall resounded to the
plaudits of the thousands who were packed as
one solid mass in every part of the saloon. The
galleries were crowded TO their utmost capacity,
chiefly by ladies who waived their handker-
chiefs in token of welcome, and we have
seldom witnessed more entertaining and ex-
citing scene.
The sentiment of the generals toast is the
sentiment that should govern this country, and
all that the Locofocos say to the contrary not
withstanding, it will do it at no distant day.
Read it over again:
"The Mechanical and Industrial Arts-Foster
them, and our country will be Independent of
the world"
| If he be elected President of the United
States next fall, as we hope he will, we may ex-
pect to see the policy of our government so
changed, that domestic manufactures will be
encouraged, instead of discouraged by it. as has
been the case ever since the beginning Of the
Polk dynasty

nufactures or the whole country will anguish
The plain truth is, it is-home market, or 10
market, unless in a case of famine in Europe.

a specimen Of his work, brought to light in a
late number Of the Clevel md Piandealer, in
the shape of a resolution adopted at a meeting
of the German Political Club Of that city;
"WHgREAs The coored people, in their meet
ing held on the 18th inst, have expressed their
sympathy with the German nation, by resolu-
ton to actually aid the German National Loan
the German Political Club resolves:

ton that The Grman peopte, as Soon as they shall

coming struggle, use all means 0hich are ddaptea
10 abolish SLAVERY, an institution which is SO
wholly repugnant TO the principles Of true de-
mocracy
ID That this resolution shall be published in
all the newspapers OF this city"
Whatever may be thought of the policy Of
this proceeding, as means of swelling the funds
of the German movement, we are amazed at the
boldness of the step. The socialistic reform is
not only to be a general measure it is not only
to put the red cap upon the heads of all the re-
publicans of Europe, and there upturn the
whole existing state of things, through an alb
stract craving ibr change; but when affairs have
been reduced tb anything like the requisite de-
gree of disorder and disorganizaton abroad, we
are to have their invaluable services in anchor
ating the distAstetul features Of these American
institutions OF ours. There is to be at that mil
lennial period, the addition of abolition and
amagamation to the doc rines of socialism, and
with this twoedged sword they will doubtless
be able to piece to the dividing asunder of the
Union. Would it not be well for our Garrso-
man folk to invest their capital in Dr. Kinke'-
revolutionary fund, on the understanding hat il
is to be received back at maturity in anti slavery
labors at the South? Will it not endanger the
prosperity of the great money scheme, to sacri
fee the sympathy of our whole white population
for the enterprise, and supply its place with the
doubtful assistance of the colored race?

~ The Albany Alias commenting on the
Presidents message, says;
The message, unexceptionable In style and q
fair presentment of the views Of the federal
party of this day, is yet distinguished by a
want not only of democracy or Of republic
anism, but of nationality. The references to
English and French supervision Of Cuba, is a
striking and humilisting instance of this, and
the attempt to cover il up, by vague declarations
against the right of search by those powers,
only makes it more emphatic.
