,ec;ster of Senatorial edic.s. And TINS tendency
had barely been arrested up to the last week. IL
was only at the last session that the Senate hrs'
claimed and exercised the power, in cooperation
with the President. of abrogating most im-
rortsnt tr..ty-thst with Denmark respecting the
aouna dues-without even asking the concur
renee Of the House The issue of Pesce or
War may depend on that abrogation; Jet
the Peoples Representatives are allowed no voice
in decreeipg it. This session, by regular progress,
ue find the Senate for the first time originating ap-
nropration bills, which, in ours, and think in all
f-oa countries. has heretofore been esteemed the
pecul,sr and exclusive function of the popular
branch. OF course, this attempt Will be resisted
nv the present House; but power firmly asserted,
by a permanent as against fiuciuatng body, is
power half acquired. AT length the House has
taken one decisive step toward the assertion OF lis
rights and its dignity. Special Committee
armed with almost Consular power, goes out from
its body to inquire searchingly into the wrongs and
abuses of which Kansas is alleged 10 have been, al
most ever since is organization, the arena and the
victim. The House thus constitutes itself Grand
Inquest to inquire into and determine as to the ex'
stence of these asserted grievances preparatory to
action thereon. Should these grievances be found
real. the Peoples Representatives will proceed to
devise and apply an adequate remedy; and, If they
should be bottled therein by resistance from any
quarter, the appeal is easy and ready TO the con-
elusive judgment ofthe American people. II. 6.

Mr.. Senator ToOmbs in Boston.

U. Senator Toombs, pro slavery lecturer in
Boston on Thursday evening, was received-as
well as could be expected there, and somewhat
better. He was. in his mode and manner, much
cooler and calner than in his excited harangues
in Congress, on the Georgia stump-and log
zeal and demonstrativc at times, thus producing
a powerful effect the Boston mind There
were no new views put forth to men who have
studied the Constitution and the African qucs-
ton, but the views new and fresh to mass
es of his hearers. who never before heard the
Southern side. The lecture, in this respect, will
do great good. and it is a great pity it could not
be heard everywhere.
The two Appletons, Of Boston. William and
Nathan. both ex NJ. C.'s appeared on the plat
form with Mr. Toombs. Three cheers, not un-
mixed with dissent, were given at the close. and
some one cried, "How long before Charles
Sumner will thus be permitted to Speak South!'

to be pursued towards the Americans, who, it
sud with nine vess es at Simoda, were break
ing the peace in the most outrageous manner
The Admiral is reported to have recommended
concession to the American demands, provided
they were in any way reasonable.
An American gentleman writes on the sub
ject:
| understand that a fleet of twelve sail of A.
mercan whalers visited Simoda, in anticipation
of receiving supplies agreeable to the late trea-
ty.
Report is they were trsated very unkindly and
a determination was made by the japanese, from
some cause,not to furnish them with any supplies.
The Americans not to be trihed with !;
they took what they wanted, and paid in dollars
at their fair weight. the one third in value, as

edge of.
