THE NATIONAL ERA: WASHINGTON D. G, JANUARY ~ 1859

QUARRELIYG IN SECRET SEssIoS.-The New
York Herald of Saturday contains an account
of bitter feud which occurred in secret session
of the Senate the day previous, between Messrs'
Douglas, Fitch, and Davis, in which Mr.. Pugh
was also concerned. The difficulty arose upon
the question Of confirming an appointment of a
postmaster in Ohio, whom Mr. Pugh denounced
as unworthy, and his enemy. He called upon
his friends to vote with him against the con-
frmatiOn; and this brought up Mr.. Douglas,
who denounced the Presidents Illinois appoint
ments as disgraceful. Mr.. Fitch resented this,
and applied to Mr.. Douglas such epithets as
I" liar" &c So says the Herald, and the &C
count has not been contradicted. Mr.. Davis is
also said to have denounced Mr.. Douglas as a
highwayman. AT one time, a fight seemed to
be inevitable between Messrs. Douglas and
Fitch.
The difficulty has been since adjusted after
fashion, by correspondence between Messrs.
Fitch and Douglas. The latter retracts often
sive language, and the former retracts retalia-
tory language.

THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN ASSO.
CITATION AT WASHINGTON.

AT a meeting of the above Association. held
on Monday evening the oath inst, the Secretary
presented an interesting report, by which we
learn that about 100000 speeches and docu-
ments were circulated by that Association du-
ring the late Congressional campaign. chiefly
in Pennsylvania and the Western States. The
report also shows that the receipts have enabled
the Association to meet all its liabilities for
printing, &c, and leaving a small balance in the
Treasury when certain outstanding accounts
are paid in. 1t also pays a high compliment
to the Hon. Sidney Dean, of Connecticut. for
valuable services rendered the Association.
After the reading of the report, the following
among other resolutions were unanimously
adopted
Resotred, That the thanks of this Association
are due, and are hereby rendered to the Hon
Sidney Dean, of Connecticut, for his very eff
cient aid in Thanking and distributing the vari
Gus documents issued by the Association during
the late Congressional campaign.
Resoloed, That, in the opinion of this Associ
alton, Republicans throughout the country are
under debt of gratitude to the Hon. S. Dean,
for his sacrifice of time, money and comfort,
IN generously remaining in this city during the
recess OF Congress, to aid our organization in
Its labors, while his fellow members were enjoy.

pr the Centennial Celebration of the Birthcl0
of Robert Burns, 18th lst no., 1859.
How sweet'y come the holy psalms
From saints and martyrs down,
The waving of triumphal palms
Above The thorny crown.
The choral praise, the chants a. prayers,
Ofharps by angels strung,
The hunted Cameron's mountain airs,
The hymns that Luther sung
Yet, jarring not the heavenly notes,
The sounds of earth are heard,
As through the open master floats
The song OF breeze and bird
Not less the wonder ofthe sky
That daisies bloom below;
The brook sings on, though loud and high
The cloudy organs blow
And if the tender ear be Jared,
That haply hears by turns
The sanity harp OF Olney's bard,
The pastoral pipe of Burns,
No discord mars HIS perfect plan,
Who gave them both a tongue
For he who sings The love of man
The love of God hath sung
To-day be every fault forgiven
OF him in whom we JOY;
We take, with thanks, the gold OF heaven,
And leave the earth's alloy.
Be ours his music s of spring,
His sweetness of flowers,
The songs the bard himself might sing
In holier ears than ours.
Sweet airs Of love and home, the hum
Offancy's laden bees
Come singing, as the robins come
To sing in dOor-yard trees.
And heart 70 heart, two nations lean,
No rival wreaihs 10 Irvine,
But blending in eternal green
The holly and the pine

D9~ Mr.. II. Marshall, of Kentucky, made a
speech few evenings since in the House OF
Representatives, in which he denounces the
Republicans as sectional in their aims and
principles. He insists that the Kansas-Nebras-
ka bill was the legitimate extension of the
principles of the Compromise of 1850; and he
endorses the bred Scott decision. BY this
statement of his principles, he has secured the
appreciation of the Washington States. We
congratulate him. If the Republicans will
adopt Mr.. Marshall's views, they, too, will be
declared sound by the organs Of Southern
opinion.

CUBA.-It will be seen from our Congress
sional Summary that the Committees Of For
eign Relations in the two Houses, through Mr.
Slidell in the Senate, and Mr.. Branch in the
House of Representatives, reported bills appro
priating thirty millions of dollars, to enable the
President to negotiate for the purchase of Cuba.
This sum is intended merely to facilitate nego-
tiation, by bribing Spanish officials, while the
committee of the Senate estimate that the
Island will cost Sl25, 100000. OF course, this
is putting the best foot foremost 1t would not
do to tell the whole truth, that the Administra
ton have no expectation of getting Cuba for
less than twice that sum. Messrs. Seward and
Hale in few remarks, set the matter in its
true light. A more monsrous proposition was
never presented to a free deliberative body.
1t is proposition to authorize the Government
to enter upon system of bribery, fraud, and
profigacy, for the manufacture Of political cap
ital and the extension of Slavery; and the end
is to be national debt of hundreds of millions.

is permitted to have new lease of life, by
tension over new Territories.

The Havana papers of the 10Th publish the
statement that Gen. Reneau had offered Gov.
ent Threats were being made to massacre
any American conspirators who may be discoy-
cred.
1t is not denied that the thirty million ap-
preparation is to be used to corrupt Spanish Of
fcials and we should not be surprised if some
such scheme as the above is in contemplation.
1t is to be presumed that Cuban Governor
may be purchased on better terms than the
Spanish Queen and Court.
