GREAT deal OF comment in the press rs
reception in Con.rcs, was also the signal
for very lively debate In the Senate. IN /.
which number o. Senator participated. .
We have room only Cor the extract which /
we append below from the remarks Of Mr. |
parat,s. and which, in the main, we ap. I
prove.
It hos boon cause Of continued COM !
PLANT ty tho press Of this country. and |
founded upou reason. too, that our Fov- |
eminent docs not afford protection 60 BE- |
ciJltu4 whose business or pleasure takes
them into foreign countries. The reason |
why this ha. always been the ease is, that
tha power 10 apply the remedy for miu-
ris. dome 20 our people in their persons or
property uy the authorities Of other coun-
tries. rests with the Legislative instead Of
tho Executive department of the govern
mont. Prompt measures for redress are
thus rendered impossible. The President
now ass. tIl1t De may tc clothcdwith the
power to take uch .tgp- o. may bc ncccs-
.iry in cascs of tbc Kind, without awaiting
Tho action deCourrc--. Il Is very plain
chat the authority asked for ha, 10 hr da-
pasited with the Executive head Of the
government. or the OWLS complained Of
will exist forever. Give the President the
power. and hc then becomes responsible
for the protection OF tine persons and prop
crtv of our citizens in all portions Of the
voAl. so Car q, the naval and military
larcc- of tho government at In. @i-posal
enables him 10 afford THAI protcctiou.-
While De- is denied this power, 10 is unjust
I and absurd that he should be- blamed, as
/ he generally g.. with an the failures That
occur iu aHoriue protection to American
| citizens ia other countries. THESE outru-
re- as Mr. Douglas -ay., are more COM

South American goycVmeut- Of this con-
tincut, than any where else; and the con-
\ lrast between the manner in which am in

even of the great States Of Europe.
Iu commenting ON 10 message some
or the SOUTHERN papers see in it AN attacl,
upon the doctrine of state rights and
STRIFE, construction. They are opposed to
culartus the powers of the Federal EN-

us as being Of any force. The power IN
