Before the result was announced, Mr.. Eusts,
Of Louisiana, rose to a personal explanation,
stating the position of the American party in
that State. He said that they repudiated the
eighth section of the Philadel phia platform,
considering it Odious to prosecute any man on
account of his religion, which was a question
between the individual and his God and, rath-
er than do so, he would suffer his right hand to
wither; nor would he be connected with any
party having in view such direct purpose.
Mr.. Smith, of Alabama, differed from the
gentleman and denounced Roman Catholicism,
because, spiritually temporarily, and politically,
the adherents to that faith owe their allegiance
to the Pope, above the Constitution. He ap-
pealed to gentlemen to say whether, from the
beginning, Roman Catholic priests, in their
assemblies, have not always thrown their inhu-
ence against liberty, and on the side of power.
The American party do not urge a religious
prescription.
Mr.. Taylor, of Louisiana, referred to the
records of history, to show that during the
French Revolution the Roman Catholic priests
joined the people against the mobiles, and gave
motion and power to the popular element
which achieved freedom in France.
Mr.. Walker, of Alabama, differed from the
views expressed by his colleague, Mr.. w. r..
Smith If he thought that prescription for
religions sake was feature of the American
party, he would cut himself loose from such an
organization.
An Intellectual motion was made, that the
House adjourn till Wednesday next-yeas lOl,
nays l07.
After some further debate, another motion
was made to adjourn over till Wednesday,
which was successful.
The House then adjourned

weeks since, in relation to the power Of the
) Senate to originate appropriation bills; and,
no objection having been made, the following
resolution was read
/ ReSotred, That the Committee on Finance
be directed to inquire into the expediency of
reporting the appropriation bills for the sup
port OF the Government, or adopting other
measures with view of obtaining more speedy
action on said bills.
Mr. b. gave it as his opinion that it might
prove salutary to give salaries to members,
instead OF per diem. When he first con-
! sidered the subject, he admitted that he enter
tanned doubts as to the power of the Senate to
originate appropriation bills, but subsequent
study and reflection had convinced him that the
Senate had the right to do so and that it would
be expedient for the body to exercise that right.
+ MI Clay saw nothing in the Constitution to
prevent the Senate from originating appropria-
| ton bills, and thought the labor might be
probably divided between the two bodies-as
that while the House was engaged on the civil
and diplomatic bill, the Senate might take up
the army and navy appropriations, and thus
| the required time for proper discussion of the
! subjects be secured.
| Mr.. Hunter understood the resolution as one
| of inquiry, which the Committee on Finance
might report upon, observing, at the same
time, that he did not doubt the power of the
Senate to originate appropriation bills.
| Mr.. Seward avowed his willingness to vote
for the resolution as matter of inquiry for the
Committee on Finance, but would not commit
| himself as to the power of the Senate to origi-
nate appropriation bills. 1t was true that such
bills might not be strictly considered as reve-
nue. bills, but they appropriated the revenue
| and he gave it as his opinion that the matter
| could be more safely reposed in the other
branch, where responsibility was more direct
/ than in the Senate.
The discussion was further continued by
Messrs. Hamlin, Bayard, and Clayton, when the
resolution was agreed to.
On motion, the Senate adjourned to Thurs
| day.

The Clerk called the House to order at u

EUROPEAN INTELLIGENCE.

The steamer Arago, with London dates to
December 10Th, arrived at New York on the
9th, bringing one hundred and forty-two pas
sengers, and merchandise valued at over
s., 000, 900.
The Canada arrived at Liverpool on the 10th,
and the Washington at southampton on the
18th.
The London Daily NesoS affirms that Sweden
has ratified the treaty with England and France.
The Allied Powers guaranty the territorial in
tegrity of Sweden, and the latter engages not
to ALLEVIATE any part of her territory to Russia.
The contracting parties also engage to commu-
nicate reciprocally all propositions coming from
Russia.
Rumors of peace are still abundant in France
and England. Count Esterhazy left Vienna
for st. Petersburgh on the 10th, with important
dispatches, containing propositions for pacifi-
cation. 1t is stated that, if the Gar refuses
their acceptance, Austria will withdraw her
Ambassador from st. Petersburgh. Both the
London Neps and the London Times express
strong doubts as to the acceptance Of these
propositions by the Car. Esterhazys instruc-
tions are, to return Immediately, in the event
of the Cars refusal to negotiate.
The difficulty which existed between the
English and French Governments, relative to
the conditions on which peace should be made,
has been arranged, through the efforts of the
King of Sardinia.
The surrender of Kars is confirmed. Nine
Psshas, together with General Williams and
sixteen thousand troops, were made prisoners
by the Russians. Among the munitions of war
taken, were one hundred and twenty field pieces,
and some very heavy guns. The Russian Gen
eral Bubutoff had established his headquarters
at Kutais, and intends shortly to assume the
offensive against Anakala and Redoubt Kale.
His army is abundantly supplied with provisions
by the Armepians.
The de6les between Kars and Erzeroum are
held by the Russians.

To the Editor ofhe National Era

To the Editor Of the National Era:
In recent number of the Era, reference
was had to the admirable Essay, by Hon. Will
liam Jay, entitled "a View of the Federal
Government in behalf of Slavery" and it was
stated that persons applying to me could be
supplied with copies. Several have written to
me, under the belief that it was a new work in
pamphlet form, or a revised edition, bound by
! itself. l would inform such, and all others
who wish to have the treatise mentioned. that
1t is included in bound volume, entitled - Mis-
celianeous Writings on Slavery" by William
Jay. 1t is large volume. Any person en-
closing one dollar to the American Abolition
Society Office, 48 Beekman street, New FORK,
or j. ,. Jewett & Co., of Boston, can supply

RECRUITS FOR NICARAGUA.-Fhers is reason
to believe that the steamer which left San
Francisco on the 9Th, for San Juan del Sur, got
Oft with large reinforcements for Walker; for
the San Francisco Sun of the 9Th has this
Ominous paragraph:
" For Wdlker.-' 1t is said that at least 500
men will sail on the Sierra Nevada to-day, to
Join Gen. Walker in Nicaragua. Among them
are Messrs. Adolphus Suffer, James McNab,
and Capt. Coy. If these reinforcements con-
tinue for any length of time, the General will
find himself in position to dictate terms not
only to Nicaragua, but also to ertend has con-
quests to Southern Menico, aohich ace hold to be
the aper of his ambition"
On the Oath instant, a steamer started from
New Orleans with some 300 filibusters, bound
for Nicaragua, to join the party that was tc
leave New York in the Northern Light. The
steamer was stopped, after she had proceeded
few miles down the river, by the United States
Marshal, and some two hundred OF the men
taken back to the city. The steamer was then
allowed to proceed on her journey. 1t is said
that one hundred of the men succeeded IN elu
ding the Marshai-Ne,c York Express.

Jones, of Tennessee, in the chair and Messrs.
Rufhn and English acting as Secretaries. An
interchange of views was had Mr.. Richard
son said he was willing to be dropped, provided
another can be nominated with better pros
pect of success. 1t was contended that the
withdrawing of Mr.. Richardson's name would
be the abandonment of the platform.
Some Democrats think this caucus unneces-
sary, and probably nothing definite will be ac-
cOmplished by it.

INTERESTING FROM MEXICO.

Accounts from the city of Mexico to the 18th
ultimo bring intelligence that General Alvarez
has resigned the Presidency of that Republic,
and has been succeeded by General Comonfort.
There was no opposition to the decree nomina-
ting the latter, but d. Miguel Buenrostro, who
headed the movement, and two other persons,
were arrested.
General Comonfort has named as his Minis
try, Senior D. Luis de la Rosa, of Relations
Senior d. Ezequiel Monies, of Justice; Senior
d. j. M. Lafragua, of Governments; General d.
J. NJ. Yanes, of War; Senior d. Manuel Siliceo,
of FOmento; and Senior d. Manuel Payne, of
Finance. General Alvarez has returned to the
South.
The primary elections for the election of dep
uties to the Constituent Congress had taken
place in Mexico. Great enthusiasm reigned on
the occasion, but no disorder disturbed the
polls.
The Minister of Finance had made PROPOSE
tions for loan, in reference to which meet
ing was to be held on the 18th instant. The
clergy, it is said, were disposed to advance a
large sum, but on conditions that the Govern
ment would not accept. The Government was
improving much in public appreciation, from
the course it was pursuing.
An expedition OF two vessels, filled with fill.
busters, headed by j. Napoleon Terman, had
arrived at Mazatlan, tor the purpose OF taking
possession. The adventures, however, are re.
ported to have been completely routed without
loss, by the Mexican troops and people. The
leader of the expedition and the crews of the
two vessels had been taken prisoners, and sent
to San Bias for safe-keeping. A correspondent
of the Monitor states that Terman embarked
at Cape San Lucas, on the 29th of October
with eighty men. He then went with whale
boat and the barque Restaurador to La Paz
proposing to take it. On the 18th ultimo he
| anchored in Punto Prieta and summoned Gen
eral Bancarte to surrender. The latter, how
ever, showed fight, seized Terman, fired on the
Restaurador, and made her captain, Denison
surrender, after killing one and wounding two

did the same.
