Mr.. Stephens said this bill had been formed
on the model Of the other Territorial bills. Il

that as the tract Of country embracing Arizona,
when acquired from the republic Of Mexico, Was
by virtue Of the laws and constitution Of Mexic0
tree from African slavery, and As no Law has
since been passed establishing slavery therein,
therefore resolved shas this act shall not be held
to authorize African slavery in the Territory,
and slavery remaining abolished as at the time
OF its acquisition from Mexico Mr.. Grow said

Washington, Feb. Is.
Senate-Mr. Crittenden made ~ able speech
on the Cuba question. He admitted the desira-
blllly OF Clba and the Presidents constitutional
right to negotiate for il without legislation,
but said, suppose Spain were TO sell, suppose
England and France, who proposed u treaty,
were to permit her to sell thc Island she holds
as trustee, where are we TO get the money "
We have been obliged to get in debt Tor our
household expenses; we have raised loan
for market money, and another 10 wanted. The
Treasury emits = funeral sound when We knock
tor money, Tor none Is there. He did not mean
to say the country could not produce any
amount OF men aud money, but it is more DIM.
cult 10 do at one time than another. II is con-
veuient now to have fastened on Us and our
children ten million per annum interest on .
two hundred million loan tor the purchase Of
Cuba. Mr.. G. here made dlgresslon 10 speak Of
Central America aud other weak States. Once
II was the policy, he said, of the American Gov
ernment 70 maintain friendly feelings with the
nations Of the Continent; he remembered when
tie American name was loved, when it was dear
to struggling republics, WHEN the declarations
OF encouragement that had been spoken by the
their armies How have we lost oil thIss read
the Message and there YOU will see thas we are
at Variance with Mexico, Costa kcA and GuAta-
mala, and that we are buried in difficulties from
the FeJee Islands to the Spanish throne. Do ell
these "specks OF war" augur we'll tor the reve-
| nue.? Yet a bill is now pending to place the
military and naval forces in the hands OF the
President. apart and above the action OF Con-
gress. The bill was most unwise, it was to ena-
kl, 81 II n...t-
people. He then viewed the Ustend Manifesto
aud Its Implied hint, If Spain will not sell We will
take. The President supports his demand Tor
thirty millions bv the example OF Jefferson, but
the cases are not parallel Before the treaty 10
assented TO by Congress, and even il Congress
never consents the President can draw the
| money and take its safe keeping into his own
hands. The President himself may be above
suspicion, but the Constitution does not enlrust
him with one dollar. .hc hands OF the Execu.
| tive should be pure ard unsoi.ed by money, he
should be nnsnspectinA and not even be expos
| ed to the unacceptable suspicion OF money deal.
| ing; further, it is unconstitutional because 10
augments the Presidents power and destroys
the balance between the States. Ii we had Gu
ba and bad paid s2oU,O0o, 900 for it, we would
say TO her I'VE have rescued you from Europe
| an tyranny and saved you from beins bulwark
against us IN tie hands OF any European power,
/ establish airee and independent 20, ernment Of
! your own, under our CONSTITUTIONS; IL will be
| be better for you and we believe for us" He did
| not vi mt to see our Angto Saxon race mingled
with people who do not understand or appreci-
ate our institutions, and he did not think our
countrys greatness was to be achieved by add.
ing acre to acre, but BY filing il with arts and
industry. He believed that this whole scheme
| OF policy would burst like bubbe-the bill is q
mere piece OF fanfAronade. 1t is a part Of the
fireworks now set at large to give . different
complexion and hue to the rather darkened
features.
Mr.. Benjamin replied to some Of the pon
in the remarks Of Mr.. C. Mr.. Crittenden re
viewed the points in Mr.. B.'s reply.
