CONGRESSIONAL.

The House went into committee o.
the whole on the state of the Union or
the consular and diplomatic appropria
ton bill.
Mr.. Sherman, of Ohio, offered an
amendment, limiting the missions tc
Great Britain, France, Russia, Spain
Brazil, Mexico, China, Peru, Turkey
and Nicaragua. After a debate, the
amendment was adopted.
Mr.. Stewart, of Md, expressed him.
self against this mode of cutting down
the number of foreign missions. 1t was
retrenchment in the wrong direction
and would not be approved by the peo-
pie.
Mr.. Lovejoy, of ILL.,, said some of the
ministers were the most extraordinary
on earth, not one but the minister to
England, could speak the language OF
the country to which he is sent.
Mr.. Miles, of S. c., protested against
the penny wise and pound foolish con
duct of curtailing the diplomatic system
During the discussion of the amend
ment to dispense with foreign Ministers
Mr.. Lovejoy said, the appointing O

ShNATE.-Mr. Slidell, from the Com
mittee on Foreign Affairs, to whom was
referred the bill making appropriation
to facilitate the acquisition Of Cuba
made long report in the forenoon.
Mr.. Seward proceeded to show tn,
financial hindrances to the acquisition
of Cuba. The action of this bill aIsc
conferred ON the President power
which would compel the Senate to rat
ify them, if exercised. The bill was il
derogation of Senatorial powers.
He read to the Senate report of tn,
debate in the Spanish chamber of depu
ties, showing that the government in
tended to demand reparation from tn,
President of the United States, for tn
alleged insult contained in his message
regarding the purchase.
Mr.. Seward said that the proposition
to buy Cuba was unwise and ridiculous
and characterized the purchase, as mucl
of necessity as that of the auction wo

come so handy.
Mr.. Bayard briefly advocated the pas
sage of the bill reported. He though
it might be passed, whether the obiec
was attained or not.
Mr.. Foot said, when the proposition
was fairly before the Senate, he woulc
give his views.

INCREASE OF PosTAGE.-The admin
lstration is intent on raising revenue
to replenish the famished national
Treasury. Accordingly the Senate
Committee, have agreed to report a
bill to increase the letter postage rates
to f0e cents. The administration can
not afford any retrenchment Of the mil
lions annually expended in other mat
tiers, but seeks to gain money by taxing
the circulation of intelligence through
the mails. The National Era, warns
the people to be on the alert; that pa.
per says:
eff the people do not take care, the
low-p postage reform, which, after sc
much labor and expense, they constrain
ed Congress to establish some years ago
will be subyerted by the wrong headed
ness ofthe Slavery Party in the Senate
At the last session, it carried by sur
prise provision raising the rates Of
postage to five cents, which the House
had the good sense to defeat. This
year, they are again busy, and the Post.
master General, under evident compul.
sion, is aiding and abetting Let the
friends of cheap postage be wide awake
and put their veto upon every reto
grade measure.

LIZ Several Of our State exchanges,
are apparently DESTROYS for Conven-
ton, to revise our State Constitution.
They remind the people, that the world
has made great advances, since the
adoption ofthe Constitution ofthe State
of Wisconsin, and therefore we need to
remodel our fundamental law, to keep
up with the progress oftho times. That
we live in an age of progress in many
things pertaining to the interests Of So
ciety, will very likely be admitted by
all we are not aware however that our
present constitution, interposes any bar
riers in the way of the true develop.
ment of the people, in the science OF
government or in any other respect
What interest is crippled because Of
improper limitations in our Constitution ?
Why would it not be well for those who
evidently have an an itching for revis-
ed Constitution, to tell the people some
of the specific objects demanded for the
public good? If our present Constitu-
ton is so antiquated, as to smother the
development of great principles, and
hinder the progress of governmental re-
forms, pray tell us wherein it fails to
meet the necessities of the case ? Ii
we mistake not, there is great indie
tinitenesS on the part of those, who IA
vor the calling of a constitutional Con-
vention. If there exist necessity for
any such measures, certainly the reasons
admit of being distinctly stated.

Negotiations for the Sale of che State
Of Maine.

Some little sensation has been crea-
ted, in consequence of the publication
of letter in the n. Y. Tribune from a
London correspondent of that paper,
stating that Lord Napier was to be sent
out by the British government to nego-
tate for the purchase of the State OF
Maine. The city of Portland because
of its commanding and eligible harbor,
is deemed essential to the interests of
the British possessions in America
The writer believes it has been deter
mined, if amicable negotiations cannot
be entered into, to take the State of
Maine by force. This may look little
impudent, especially to us on this side
of the Atlantic. So it may appear rath-
er impertinent on the other side of the
ocean, for the United States to propose
to seize Cuba by force, provided Spain
will not sell ont the Island to our gov
eminent. At any rate it will do no
harm to put the two propositions side
by side and talk them over. No one in
the meantime need be alarmed; En-
gland will not probably seize the State
of Maine this year.

Presidents Message in Europe.

The message of President Buchanan
appears to have been received with
great disfaYor in Europe, and has elic-
tied severe comments from some of the
leading English newspapers. That por-
ton of the message which treats of Gu
ba and Central American affairs, indi-
eating disposition of the United States
to enoroach on the rights Of weaker ma
tons, evidently excites hostile feeling
on the other side of the Atlantic
Should the designs of the administra-
ton in respect to Cuba and Central
America be carried out, there can be
but little doubt Of its leading to the for
nation of an alliance Of European pow
ers, with the view Of repelling what
they regard an aggression on the rights
of nations. The tone of the press, both
in England and France, exhibits de-
termination to check the grasping pro,
penGitieS of our government In good
cause, the United States has no great
reason for alarm from hostile alliances
in Europe but in lad cause, it might
not be safe to encounter such an enemy.
In the mean time, there is DISPOSE
ton manifested in Congress to pursue
the course marked out in Buchanan's
message. The Senate committee on
Foreign affairs, have agreed to report a
bill, placing at the disposal of the Pres
ident, an appropriation of $50, 100000
for the purchase of Cuba. 1t is well
known that the government of Spain
Indignantly refuses to entertain any pro-
posal in regard to the acquisition of Gu
ba by the United States. Nevertheless,
the policy of the administration has al
ready been indicated by democratic lea
ders in Congress; if the negotiations for
the obtainment of Cuba for a pecuniary
consideration fail, then the Island is to
be seized on pretence of satisfying old
claims on the Spanish government.
Constitutional limitations seem not
to restrain the present administration
from its purposes it must have more
territory for the accommodation of slav-
cry at all hazards. Senator Mason, of
Virginia, has introduced bill authoriz-
ing the President of the United States,
at his discretion, to declare war against
Mexico, or any other of the Central
American States, which, in his judge
nae1t, may infringe upon the rights of
American citizens. The Constitution
Of the United States expressly reserves
to Congress the right to declare war ;
but it is now proposed to take this right
from Congress and confer it upon Pres
ident Buchanan. The bill of Senator
Mason is splendid illustration of the
boosted democratic doctrine of strict
construction of the Constitution" But
what have solemn compromises or con-
stltutlonal constructions to do, when the
southern oligarohy make a demand ?
Reverence for the constitution and old
compacts vanish when great schemes
for the supposed ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the
modern democracy are to be consum-
mated. If the policy of the administra-
ton, in respect to the acquisition of for
eign territory be PERSISTED in, our peace
full relations with Europe cannot be
maintained. The termination of the
present Congress, it is hoped, will re-
heVe the country of at least some of
its fillibustering elements.

The Decadencies Of Democracy.

In an article in our paper last week, it
was stated that the several decadencies
OF the democratic party in the northern
States, since the administration ofMad-
sion, were indicated by each concession
OF the north to the demands of the south.
Every such measure as the annexation
OF Texas, the repeal of the Missouri
Compromise, and others of a similar
character, has had the tendency to sub
tract from the numerical power of the
democracy; to deplete its ranks, until
1t connot now claim the supremacy in a
single northern state in the Union. This
depletion Of the ranks of the northern
democracy has been going on until the
power of the party has been transferred
to the south. The south has control
ing majority in the Senate and in the
House of Representatives
These views are not only in accordance
with facts of past history, but are &C
knowledged by democrats themselves
The Cleavland Plaindealer, a leading
democratic paper of Ohio, has an arti-
Gle showing the gains of what it is pleas.
ed to term black Repubicanism in the
Senate of the United States, and speaks
Of the future prospects Of the democra-
cy as follows:
"It the South insist upon slave code
Tor the Territories, or any more Le-
compton Constitutions, they can bid an
eternal farewell to any more Democrat
&c Senator's frem the North. One more
exactlon of that kind, and our Southern
friends can have the great National
Democratic party all to themselves
This is truthful utterance bv Dem.
ocratie paper. The south is already The
heart of the democracy it however
still grasps enough of northern influence
and northern doughfaceism, to give the
administration a controlling power.
