The SPEECH OF Hon. A. G. JENKINS
We publish to-day. an able speech on the
admission of Minnesota, by Mr.. jenkins,
the Representative in Congress from this
district. 1t is the maiden effort of the
gentleman before that body, and fuIly
meets the high expectations of his friends
1t is decidedly a States Rights docu,
ment, and has received the encomiums Of
a large number of the States Rights
press. The Barbour Jeffersonian says:
This gentleman seems to have made
his mark IN Congress. We copy, in this
paper, 6ne tribute paid to our talented
Representative by one of the leading De.
mocratic journals of the North-the Bos.
ton Post. The editor of the Albanian,
who has been spending winter in Wash
ington, speeks in glowing terms of Mr..
Jenkins late speech. and eulogisesrhi as
a man of talent. and gentleman of ster
ling worth and integrity, MIR. Jenkins is
n young man, probably the youngest in
Congress. and deserves all the praise he
gets. Long may he live to bear his blush,
ing honors thus meekly."

morning. She b4ings rumor that Bri
fish officer who acted SO conspicuously in
boarding and searching vessels at Ssgua,
had been arrested and sent to Jamaica.
A letter to the Herald from Havana, thus
briefly and unsatisfactory speaks of the
rumored arrest:
The officer who did the searching in
Sagua la Grand has been arrested-it is
said for exceeding his instructions, ON the
one side. by others for permitting Capt.
Dunlevy, of the American ship Grotto,
TO drive him from the deck with his ma
rines.
The arrest is said to have given gene
raj satisfaction at Havana, and the i'm.
preston was that we will have no more

ter further says:
The captain of the American bark Re-
lance reports that he was boarded on
the evening of the Gath inst, between
Salt Key bank and the coast of Cuba,
which was in sight from his deck, by a
boat from lead colored British War
steamer-the vessel having first given a
blank discharge after he had shown his
Gag. He concluded it best to come to.
although he did not understand the right
of hail in that sort of way. An officer
came on board with his cutlass. and in
quired OF him his latitude and longitude.
and then told him he was ordered to
board all vessels he found in the gulf wa,
tiers. The officer asked no other cues
ton, where from or where bound, prob
ably perceiving that there could be no
possible excuse for OBTAINING the ship.

reports having been hailed. but that he
declined stopping to be boarded. They
did not shot their guns. but told him 10

SO gentle have been reported.

that treaty was formally agreed upon
between MIR. King. the American Minis,

government, in accordance with the
American doctrine Of the Right Of Search.
Before the treaty had been signed, how

government insisted upon an exception to
