DEB ATE

In the Senate, a0hich ,tolloued the receptio,
ofhe Presidents Message IN relation tt
Nlcaraguan affairs, communicated on til,
| 18th instant:
| MIR. Mason moved to refer the Message to
the committee ON foreign relations, and that
it be printed.
MIR. Crittenden said he regarded the sub
Ject as very important one, which ought
not to pass from the consideration of the
Senate into the hands of the committee with
out remark. He had seldom if ever listen
ed to message from the Executive which
was fraught with more absorbing interest,
or which might lead to more serious con-
sequences. In one weeks time the country
would be agitated from one end to the other
on this subject, and it might result in our
being involved in war. If we were to have
war; however, he wanted it to be accepted
or denounced by Senators in an open, man
~ manner, and not have {. course of policy
pursued by which we should 90 on step by
step blindly, until we fall into the pit. The
Government of Nicaragua, which the Pre-
sident has officially recognized, was thing
of yesterday as it were.
AT any rate the shoes were not vet Worn
out upon the feet of those who had wroupbt
this new revolution, and already the Execu
tive had become satisfied of its permanency
and Its capacity to discharge it's duties as
nation in the great family of nations.-
This seemed to him very hasty conclusion
to arrive at in a matter of so much conse
quence, the revolution having been effected
too, as the President admits. by the COOP
Grafton OF our own countrymen who went
there contrary to the laws of this country.
Was this the national prudence which
had hitherto guided our course? What
said jackson, when Texas long stood knock |
ing TOR admittance into the Union, even af |
ter we were assured of her ability to govern
herself, ard when she had, by repeated VIC
tories, established her title 20 be considered
one of the communities of the world? Jack
sons message gave thorough, profound
and patriotic rebuke to every principle in
he present message.
We mix ourselves up in the affairs of the
lations' as dangerously sometimes by re-
these communities, suddenly ris-
ng into existence, as by entering into en-
angling alliances with foreign powers.
MIR. Mason said he could see no objection
reference. The document merely in
ormed the Senate of the actua, condition
+ the country in which we take a great
eal OF interest. The President had learn
d that change had taken place in the
overnment of Nicaragua, which simnlv
mounted to the fact that they had one set
law makers in lieu of another, and being
atlsted that the new Government wase
government de tacto, and had sufficient
OillIy to conduct the affairs of the country,
he President felt himself called on to re-
eve Its Minister-that was ALL The ar
nment OF the Senator from Kentucky. in T
le case of Texas, would not apply here .

p The Richmond Dispatch states thai
farmer in Virginia was offered last fall
So 10 for his wheat, per bushel, but WISHING
to do better, he held on to it, believing that
he could realize So 90 per bushel. But the
peace news took down the price of bread
stutts, and he sold his wheat for 81 so per
bushel, making a difference of $1,000 in the
price realized and the price offered few
months previous. Thousands of farmers
have suffered in the same way.

which this was done by the landlord of the
Plank Road House, Mr.. GEORGE PERRIGO,
exhibited talent in this line of the highest order
The Tables fairly groaned under the weight of
the good things, that he had provided for our
material bencft-Turkeys Chickens, Chicken
Pies, Beef, Mutton, and in fact every variety of
Meat and vegetables. In Pastry, everything
was supplied that the inner man could wish,
and of excellent quaty-and what was still
more in character with the man, everything was
warm and comfortable and free from hustle
and confusion-giving the guests the best kind
of opportunity for enjoying good dinner sur
rounding them, as it we've, with the quiet and
order of home: Mr.. Perrigo deserves all praise
and support Praise we give .reely-support,
all in our power he shall have, and we say to our
brother, Go thou and do likewise"
