The Senate to-day was in executive session for
a few moments, and about dozen nominations
were sent in and referred. None were definitely
acted upon, and therefore strictly confidential.
1t is believed that Kennedy, Superintendent of
the Census will be retained, as the work is draw
ing TO close.
Applications for appointments under the Post
Office department, from all parts of the country,
are innumerable. sf ,s.s ~
The debate between Douglass and Clayton is
quite proracted. Mr.. Douglass condemned the
treaty, saying that though the time had not arrived
for annexing part of either Mexico or Central
America, yet the latter Is the half way house
the high road to California, and the man who
thinks that the time will arrive when the United
States will find ii necessary to own the halfway
house, mus: not be set down rs mailman. He was
not disposed to hasten the view of democratic prn,
ciples under democratic administration. No man
can limit the progress of this nation No treaties
can tetter the limits of this great Republic-it will
grow, and in growing, will burst Them asunder
Why then attempt to do it by binding the nation
not to do that which we know, in time, it will be
compelled to do. Why bind ourselves 10 annex no
more Of Mexico, when every man knows that the
day is fast approaching when we cannot prevent
it.
In conclusion, Mr.. Mason got the floor, when
the Senate adjourned till Monday.
The Washington Union publishes the official
notice of the Secretary of the Treasury, that the
five per cent stock of 1843 will be redeemed on the
list of July, the interest after that date cease.
The Republic says that Fuller is o 1t of danger.
