How MAYOR WooD TRIED To WIN THE Alder
MEY.-The Mayor wants to make his brother Henry
Greet Commissioner to succeed Mr. Smith but has not
yet arranged with the Aldermen about it. On Wednes-
day it is said that all the Aldermen deemed approach
able were sent for and invited into the private office
of the Mayor. Subsequently they met at Delmonicos
and compared notes. They found that TO seven of
them in successon the Mayor had represented that he
already had nine Aldermen pledged to Smiths re-
mova but that out of pure love and affection for them
individually, he wished TO have them with him for
The future aud would therefore consent TO have tenth
IN tie ring-nine being the needful majority out
Of seventeen. The comparison of notes produced
great laughter, making clear that the Mayor had in
reality as they all suspeced-bu two in favor of con-
rming bis brother Henry; and that seven were actu-
ally needed before the Board could be considered all
right Rumor adds that Nicholas Seagrist and Gilbert

FRED. DOUGLASS AND THE HARPER's FERRY
RESURRECTION The London Times of Dec. n.
has the following:
The Rev. r. l.. Carpenter, of Halifax, at which
town Frederick Douglass is at present staying,
states that the latter concerned in the recent
Instruction in the following way only:
He Is charged by Captain Cook with having
abetted the Harper's Ferry insurrectlon, and then
deserving it. AS he had Informed the American
public by letter, which has appeared in many Of
their papers, Captain Cook is wholly unknown to
hun, and his accusati6n is untrue. Unless Cap
tain Cook was person who once called on him
with Captain Brown, he does not even know who
he is.
With Captain Brown Mr.. Douglass has long
been very intimate, and he entirely approved Of
his plan of helping the slaves to escape TO the
mountains, and secure their freedom. He was
cognizant Of the Harpers Ferry plan. but did his
utmost TO dSsuade him from it. In his anxiety
to avert what he deemed an impracticable scheme.
he Went about month before the event, to visit
Captain Brown at Chambersburg, about twenty
eight miles from Harper's Ferry. His arguments
were, however, unavailing; and his visit would
no doubt be taken evidence that he was
party to the plan. He is in no way, therefore,
mixed up with the insurrection, except in SO far
that he did not betray his knowledge Of it. and
he is not in any way chargeabe with deserving
Captain Brown. since Captain Brown we'll knew
that he was opposed to it,

IL THE SENATE, yesterday. after we went to
press,
Mr.. Dixon proceeded to speak at length upon
that portion Of the Presidents annual mesa ge
which recommends the payment Of the Amistad
claim. Mr.. ID. strenuously argued that the claim
had no foundation in justice, and ought not to be
paid.
Mr. Iverson then proceeded to reply to the ar.
guments of Mr.. Pugh, on a former occasion, on
the question Of popular sovereignty. His doctrine
was that both the power and duty Were conferred
upon Congress to pass laws regulating slavery
wherever 1t exists or may exist in the Territories
He utterly denied the power of Congress to ex-
clude slavery from the Territories. To regulate
and protect is one thing; to deprive exclude is
very different thing. If he ever maintained the
doctrine Of popular sovereignty he had long since
abandoned it. II the Charleston Convention re-
fuses to adopt platform recognizing Southern
rights in this respect the delegates from the South
ought to withdraw from that Convention He
would not say he would refuse to support the
cand' date nominated by that Convention under
such circumstances. There were many men who
might he nominated, in whom he had entire con-
hdsDce-snch as Hunter, Breckenridge, or Alex
ii. Stephens. He wonld not support Judge
Douglas should he be nominated with nothing
better than the Cincinnati platform.

Senate adjourned, Mr.. Green having the floor for
