NEW YORK, Jan. 90.

The Herald's Washington correspon-
dent says at an executive session of the
Senate an angry and exciting discussion
took place between Mr.. Douglas and Mr..
Fitch which is thought will originate a
duel. The debate occurred in the confir-
nation of Mr.. Potter as collector at Toll
edo, Ohio.
Pugh opposed Potter's nomination be-
cause it displeased his friends, and said if
the President desired an issue with him he
was ready. He denounced the appoint.
ment and asked his senatorial friends to
vote it down. Mr.. Douglas said he would
vote with Mr.. Pugh and then denounced,
the Illinois appointment as dishonest, cor
rupt and incompetent, Mr.. Fitch denied
this. Mr. Douglas reiterated it, when Mr..
Fitch again said it was untrue. (Cries of
order.) Mr.. Douglas continued and Mr..
Fitch replied in great bitterness, saying
that Senators knew how to prize any thing
from that quarter. (Cries of order Mr.,
Douglas replied and was called to ORDER
Motions were made that Mr.. Douglas be
allowed to go on. Mr. Davis opposed, and
turning to Mr.. Douglas said his language
was that of highwayman and bravo. The
debate was interrupted by an adjournment
1t is said the lie was given and tbs most
severe personal remarks made.

pa IL is almost amusing 10 see with
what earhestness the Jeffersonian and the
Union q American labor to prove the ut.
ter unfitness of Gen. .Quarles for the nom
ination to Congress. The latter organ, of
Wednesday, says the opposition "wili
nom mate candidate on the l4th, and on
the 18th, they will come together to de.
termine what he shall advocate. They will
have man standing before the people for
their suffrages utterly bare of principles"
Should this dreadful event occur, the 10.
cofoco organs ought to rejoice for man
"bare of principles" is almost as bad as
newholhas principles thatno man ought 10
uphold But they do not rejoice on the
contrary, they tremble with apprehension
lest Gen. Quarles nay be nominated and by
their very anxiety give fat denial Of
the disquali6cations with which they
charge him. They have not SO much re-
gard for the opposition as to feel solicit
tude for the fitness Of its candidate, and
their efforts prove either the reverse of
what they charge, or that they have some
motive for desiring the nomination of
some other man. Thankful for the gra-
tuitous interest they display in our behalf,
we, of the opposition, would respectfully
suggest that we can take care of ourselves.
If we choose to nominate man "bare of
principles" for some two weeks, il is no
worse than to nominate a man who has
had no fixed principles all his life, as
must be the case with any locofoco nomi-
nee who has stood up for the ever chang
ing policy of that weathercock party.
But should the Convention of the 29th
lay down principles which the nominee of
the 18th can not endorse, he can resign
cant he? But says the Union & Amcri-
can, the last that was heard of Gen. Quarles
he was democrat, and the organ intends
his readrs shall infer that an opposition
Convention can promulgate no principles
which a democrat can endorse. Without
concedng the truth of tleNashville .ean's
assertion, let US suppose that the opposi-
ton come out for specific duties, looking
to protection, cant a democrat stand by
Buchanan on that plank? Suppose the
opposition endorse internal improvements
by the general government, can't demo-
crat stand on that plank with the thous-
ands Of his party who are there already
With the exception of U. S. Bank, eve
ry old issue is endorsed by some fraction
of democracy, and the opposition must in
vent some unheard of theory if demo-
crat cant endorse it and claim to be or
thodox.

From w aShingtOu.

The special Telegraphic correspondent
of tho Cincinnati GuzetIe contains the fol-
lowing:
The Washington States, denies, in au-
thoritative language, that the President
has desired the presentation of the bill
placing at his disposal thirty millions for
the purchase of Cuba. 1t says that the
circumstances for purchase were never
so unpropitious as now, and we could not
hold it by force against France and Eng
land, single, single month. The article
recommends procrastination, and concludes
as follows:
aft it were allowable to discuss so grave
a measure in the light of party expGdiency,
we would suggest that the Democracy could
not stand up under the burden of reproach
to which the proposition Of Cuba Caucus
exposes them. The folly of the movement
has been detected already by the Opposi-
ton Journals, and they have raised an en-
ergetic clamor of corruption against the
dominant party. If We proceed to justify
the charge, the consequences will be dis
astrous to our ascendency. Even now
there is too much ground of accusation
against the Democracy on the score of
extravaSant and impolitic expenditure.
An outlay of 100000, 600 for the sup
port Of government deficit of several
millions in the annual accounts, and a rap
idly increasing public debt are incumbran-
ces which the Democratic party will sus-
tain with difficulty, if at all Every year
We seem to drift further and further from
the old landmarks of State rights and
economy, which have hitherto directed our
policy.
Every year we impair the force of the
Republican principles which gave us our
hold on the popular heart and which have
SO far sustained our ascendeney. 1t is
time the Democracy were arrested in this
progress of degeneracy and decay, else
they will be preciptated from power soon
er than the advocates and benefciares of
prodigal expenditure anticipate in their
present enjoyment of comfortable places
and a sufficient stipend"
WASHINGTON ITEMS. We clip the fol-
lowing from the New York Times special
dispatch;
Some of Judge Douglas recently warm
friends bitterly denOunce his course in
going into the Administration caucus on
Saturday. They consider it a complete
surrender of his political fortune into the
hands of his enemies.
No prominent man here believes for
moment that Cuba can be obtained by pur-
chase, or that Spain will ever negotiate on
the subject. Mr.. Buchanan still refuses
to respond to the House resolution asking
"if this Government had been officially
notified that England and France would
not permit Spain to sell Cuba" "If no
such notification has been received, why
not say so2

HGr The GAINESVILLE Jcffiersonian Of the
18th inst, making text of an article from
the PatriOtrelative to Gen. Jas. M. Quarles,
gives its readers brief commentary upon
it, in which fancy predominated over fact.
Our contemporary, however, comes to the
sensible conclusion that Gen. Quarles is
the man whom the sham democracy will
have to beat for Congress, and further ex-
hibits its good sense by proposing a con-
vention to select candidate to put against
him. 1t will take a convention of the
wise men of the party to find, in this dis
trict, a competitor who can meet with any
show of success in the field of debate.
More than this, we presume, the wise men
will not expect of their prOtege. Nash.

Beg" A London correspondent of the N.

land to acquire the State of Maine by
purchase, or conquest. Well, if Eng
land can show that the occupation of
Maine is essential to the safety of her
possessions, we presume that the Admin
istration-true to its own doctrines, as
taught In the case of Cuba-will not re-
sist the claim. 1t is a bad rule that does
mt work both ways. 1t should be re.
membered, too, that by adopting this line
of policy, towards England, it will re-
move all dificulty-theoretically-in the
way to our occupation of Cuba, which
will be an admirable exchange for the

rA- Should Slidell's bill, which propo-
ses to place at the discro ion of the Presi-
dent thirty millions of dollars to negoti-
ate for Cuba, become a law, the country
ought to know how it is to be used, and
have proper security for its honest expen-
diture. To place so large sum at the
disposal of the President, and then give
him full power to use his own discretion
in applying it, is dangerous experiment.
At any moment, he can involve us in a
war with Spain, as pretext for seizing
Cuba, by provoking the Spanish officials
to some act similar to that of the Black
Warrior; and this can be done without
the thirty millions-a sum far too large
for negotiation, and as much too small for
purchase. Besides, we have Minister at
theSpanish Courtw whose business,,i it is to ne
gotiate, and who is paid a regular salary !;
and if the Administration is actuated by
spirit of honesty in its efforts to obtain
Cuba, all that can be honestly done, is at
tainable at no greater cost than is already
incurred, IF this be so, Slidell's bill Gov
ers some fraud that is to be accomplished
by the appropriation it calls for; and
whether that object be to bride Spanish
officials, or to carry the election in 1860
the people are not likely ever to know.

warmly by the hand, and congratulated
him upon his eloquent effort. The two

they were playing to gull the poor fools,
of both sections, who cannot discriminate
between wise patriotism and the tricke-
ry Of politicians who talk treason in order
TO win popularity. And whilst Iverson
was making the aforesaid speech, Toombs
said to some gentleman near him liver
son hasn't read up the markets. The

Georgia will too" Thus it will seen that,
