We publish this morning card from capt.

candidate before The nominating convention
for Congress in this District. The fclicitous
language and the good taste of the card are
alike characteristic of the man, as he is al

ing. His course on this occasion in promptly
replying to the solicitation of his friends. and
while dsavowing any inclinations for Office.
expressing his intention for the future as he
has done in the past, of battling, with una
bated zeal and devotion. for those principles
which he deems so material 10 the interests
and peaceful prosperity OF his country, must
still further endear him to the people, not only
of this district, but of the State. 1t shows
him in his true character, that of a disinter-
ested gentleman and patriot. Such men are
rare, and we trust he may long live TO aid by
his counsel and stimulate by his example,
those with whom he has so long and efficient
ly acted. The time may come when the ser
vices of such men shall become indispensable
In the councils of the Republic. and if it shall
we hope he will be in condition to put on
his armor for the work.

Tobacco Interest.

The following JOINT resolution in relation
to the tobacco trade of the United States
with foreign nations were introduced, by un-
of Representatives, by tho Hon. T. F. Bowie
of Maryland. The resolutions were referred
to the Committee on Agricultural:
JOINT RESOLUTION in relation to the to-
bacco trade of the United States with foreign
nations.
Resolved BIZ the Senate and House of Representa-
IRE, of The United States Of America in CONGRESS
assembled That the trade in tobacco with Great
Britain, France, Spain, Portugal, Austria,
Brazil, and all other foreign nations, is clog
Ced with restrictions and limitations wholly
inconsistent with that fair and r, ciprocal con-
dition of commerce which ought to exist be-
tween the United States and those nations
respectively, and is therefore. unsRtsfdc tory
to the States of Virginia, Kentucky, Mary
land North Carolina, Missouri, Tennessee,
Ohio, and Connecticut, in which the article
of tobacco is an important if not the chief
staple Of agricultural production.
SEC. 2. Re n further reSolref, That it is the
duty Of the Federal Government TO use its
utmost power by negotiation or other constiiu-
tional; means to obtain a modification or re-
duction on the part of said foreign nations of
the duties ana festrlctlonS imposed 10y them
on the importation Of American tobacco. and
to this end 10 employ all the diplomatic and
commercial powers which the Constitution
has contided TO it, in producing a more just
aud equal reciprocity in trade so deeply in
volving the value of that portion of the agri-
cultural labor Of the country in which at least
one-fourth Of the Confedcracy is concerned
C. 3. Be IL further resoired, That the trea-
ties OF the United States with Caina and ia
pan present n fair and fitting occasion for the
enlargement aud extension of the tobacco
trade of the United States. and IL ia the duty
OF the Government Of the United States TO
use all their eXertions within the limits of
constitutional power. To foster and encourage
the introduction OF American tobacco as an
article OF use among the people of those ma
tions.
Sec. 4. BE IL further resolved. That diploma
tic negotiations with England. France. Spain
and Austria, as well as with China and japan
ought TO be commenced as soon as practic-
able, by the the Government of the United
States with tia view of obtaining a modifca--
ton of the existing systems of revenue and
taxation of those nations, in respect TO Anne

and another who had taken his ease all this
time mad slept when we bad worked was
allowed to enjoy the fruits of our labor" We
thanked him for his sympathy, but assured
him that Moses was our model rather than
Aaron, that even to him we took exceptions
to wit, his cratic course through the wilder
ness, following a cloud instead of a pocket
compass-keeping the Children of Isreal in
the Wilderness too long, and testing too
severely their powers OF endurance, and the
amiability Of their dispositions. Besides, we
are, politically speaking, in a worse wilder
ness than Moses was. This Reserve has no
parallel on earth, in ancient or mode
times. That piece of woods in which tn
Children got bewildcred, was nothing o

But still our faith is good. Popular Sover-
eighty, we believe, will fetch these Puritan
Psalm singers into the Democratic fold and
they may yet be saved. Since we have
undertaken to play Moses among them, we
shall stick to them until the engagement
is played out. We have only been here
twenty years, Moses was in the wilde ness
forty. So we have twenty years rger to
stay. Who knows but that the boy who was
found in a basket in the hulrushCs and who
cut such figure in that fiery may not he

this will yet become the Democratic strong

Too much. 1t liked to have cost us our
manhood aud independence and did for a
time threaten to cOrrode the sweetness of our

we are going in for the redemption Of The Reserve

Correspondence Of the Baltimore SUM.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 81, 1858.


The subject Of the Importation of African
slaves into Southern States, is likely to oc-
cupy the attention OF Congress upon the re-
sumption of the session. Several members
as learn, are to bring it forward in the form
Of resolutions of inquiry. The facts of the
case, so far rs officially known to the Execu-
tive, will thus he elected. In one Of Mr.. G.
l.. Lamar's letters to Secretary Cobb, he
stated that il was his intention to violate the
law prohibiting the slave trade, relying upon
the public sentiment of the South for his
Justification.
Ii has been stated in Southern journal
upon authentic information, that the parties
engaged in the recent importation of
Africans, rs slaves. would avOw and Justify
the act The examination of witnesses pend
ing in Savannah may also elicit such facts as
will render it necessary for the United States
District Attorney to bring the subject before
IA Grand Jury. In the first place, it may be
impossible to obtain an indictment from the
Grand Jury, as was lately the case at Col
umba, in the matter Of the Echo. But
should u bill he found and trial take place.
the Jury perhaps may not convict the defen-
dane. As to any opinion from United
States Court that the law prohibiting the
slave trade is unconstitutional. no one can
suppose that ii will ever be rend red.
The amount of the matter .is, that those of
the Southern States that may choose to- be
supplied with slaves from Africa will be sup
piled. any law Of the u. S. to the contrary
notwithstanding. The slavcrs only take the
hazard of arrest ON the high seas by United
States cruisers, and OF being carried into
some Northern port, where, possibly, the par
ties arrested might meet the penalty of the
law.--The Federal Government cannot con-
troll juries in the South any more than they
could in the North. 1t may well be believed
that the United States fugitive slave act can
not be executed in some parts of the North,
and not long ago case occurred in which the
extradition OF foreign fugitive from justice
Was forcibly and successfully resisted.
That the African slave trade will be open
cd. is just as certain rs that they will find
ready sale in the South. We have seen that
northern enterprise has been extensively en-
gagged in the slave trade between Africa and
Cuba, and there is no reason to doubt that it
will continue to brave all dangers. il slave
market be opened for IL, at the South. There
is scarcely donbt that this subject in its
various bearings, will occupy much attention
| in Congress, aud furnish new issues for the
coming political struggles.
The committee appointed by the House, at
the last session, TO revise the rules, will re-
port some changes of character that will
have tendency 10 secure universal attention
10 private bills. ION.

In respect to the statement which Is
current, that $4,000 in silver bars were dis
covered in the house of our Mexican Minis
ter, Mr.. FoRsrrH after his departure from
!Tacubaya, the Mobile Register Of the 2eth
inst, says: '' To those who do not nnd.,-
stand and know how affairs stood during the
latter part of Mr.. Forsyth's stay In Mexico.
the above statement would seem strange. and
the natural inference would be that this silver
was deposited in his house, and at his instance.
We are fortunately posted up on this mat
ter, and think IL but due TO Mr. Forsyth TO ex-
plain the above. AMER the Legation was

and went TO board with a Mr.. Perry, In whose
house the " silver barsn alluded 10 were
brought and deposited. Mr.. Forsyth had
nothing to do with their being brought there.
nor bad be the right to say that Il should not
be done The house was under the control Of
Mr.. Perry, Mr.. F. being there as mere board
err with his family, until he could make ar
rangements 10 leave for the United States.p

TT The article which we give this morn
ing from the Richmond Enquirer, is an EXPOSE
ton of its views of the duty of Congress TO
Interfere by statute for the protec ton ofslave-
ry in the territories. In view of the support
which the Enquirer has given to Judge DcUG-
LAS, in his late and pending controversy with
the President, and large proportion of the
party leaders of democracy, the article is
little singular Mr.. DOUGLAS is beyond cavil
the champion, the Ajax lebanon of popular
sovereignty in its broadcast and most radical
sense; and while he was assuming during his
late canvass in Illinois, that, by virtue of their
sovereignty, the people of territory might
virtually prohibit slavery by refusing to enact
laws for its protection, the Enquirer was I'M
derstood to be giving him countenance and
support as against all adversaries. Judge
DOUGLAS has seen fit to stake his fortunes on
the principles of popular sovereignty, and il
Is too late for him now to turn back or re-
consider his course, and live as a leader of
any party, or as the champion of any other
idea on this subject. 1t is therefore safe TO
conclude, if the Enquirer is sincere and will
persist in its present attitude, its alliance with
DOUGLAS is at an end. We are inclined to
view the course of the Enquirer in presenting
this issue at this time, when there is no ap-
parent necessity for its discussion, as the out
cropping of political mine; but it is not so
clear who it is intended to blow up. The
Kansas-Nebraska bill and the Cincinnati plat
form, have committed the democracy of the
South and the country to the doctrine of alb
soiute non-intervention on the subject of slave
~ IN the territories. and they cannot now
abandon it with any sort of hope of retaining
even the pretensions to which they now lay
claim for nationality. After what has trans
pred, in and out of Congress, on the subject.
II is scarcely to be supposed that the North
could be brought to contemplate with any
degree OF complacency this new demand. We
have no idea that it will be Incorporated in
she creed OF the democratic party unless,
indeed, that party should conclude TO resolve
on the complete setionalization of the coun-
try; and, in default,of any reasonable hope
OF retaining power. bend their energies to a
disruption of the Union. They will cleaye
~ o 1P''i'' uouo'iess, as IonS as possible
Out their past histoay would not justify the
assumption that they would quietly witness
the extinction Of their power. In such an
event. numbers of their leaders will be found
who would seize the pillars ofthe temple, and in
their own fall, strive to envelop the Union in
universal ruin. 1t is important that the peo-
pie should look well to the course of events.
and thwart any scheme that shall look to a
result so direful.
