WASHINGTON, Jan, 10, 1854
The wheels of legislation are blocked again TODAY nv
the death of member Of the House. Mr. Muhlenburg Of
Ia The body of the deceased to be sent to his
/ home for interment
fought to have added yesterday when speaking of
OF way across the Isthmus that your Senator Mr.
benjamin, had made call for all the
that has taken place this subject since the period
Mr. Fiuaore's communication. He designs to give some
OF his own views but will take the Senate
that he has interest in of the
proposed routes Our Mexican relations getting
aud more entapged; in consideration of this fact we
ought to be represented there by the abest diplomatic
functonary the country furnish, and be should be
man if such be found, acquainted sufficiently with
the people and language Of Mexico well as her internal
divisions adapt his position the Of things about
him. From all can learn MIR. Gadsden has aienated
Santa Anna by making such demands as the latter would
really dare to submit the nation What good end
this serve unless another rupture Is sought Mr.
Wise said in Congress that administration could
kick the country into war; but surely Mr. Pierce
recognize this necessity yet his party it true
very much divided and there are distinctions
among the so.called democrats than appear openly at
present still the number of wings is too small to create
any alarm while Federal patronage the gift of the
| Executive is constantly increasing
curious incident has occurred in connection with
what is here known the Government farce or Gardiner
trial. Inc Indictment and an important alleged) forged
paper nave been ingeniouEy stolen from the District
torney and the suspicion rests upon Gardnerof having
1ps1iaoteo thehl Tie trai, now in its Nth week and
oh's commenced, VIII proceed with admitted copies for
the jury and perhaps the result will be the same Gar
diner, whether guilty or innocent likely udiciay
oefeAe oil time and money and the lawyers will reap rich
| harvest of fees from the Government
Whether through ignorance designedy and because
ool' Aunt Wasa Whig the Speaker has placed him, the
representative OF one Of the largest commercial in
ehe onlon upon the Committee Of Private Land Claims
ana one OF his colleagues Ito whom this committee would
nave neen appropriately Mr. Dunbar upon the Committee
on commerce. Mr. Boyd is indebted to his long men,
bershp and his medocrty for the post of speaker-1aay
| the present be his last Congress.
It is thought by that hr Douglass Nebraska bill
"hich provides that when States admitted from this
territory 1T shall be with or without slavery the people
tpere Wild may give rise to renewed agitation of the
slavery subject do not think The feeling of the
people is pretty well reflected in Congress that feel
ing Is tof the present. we have discussed this subject
sufficiently 1t will require eloquence than Gerrit
Smith possesses to resusoate question thus laid aside
Notwithstanding all the vessels which have been des
patched from various quarters the distressed steamer
