Below is.a copy Of the Petition.
If, Congress chooses to kick it un-
der the table, let it be done. We
will then know how the constitu-

ing for what they believe will
promote the welfare of the white
race, is treated by the party now
in power. Let Congress put their
hands upon the Constitution, and
KICK the petitions ofythe citizens

for appropriations ofmoney to en-

We the undersigned petitioners,

to you, that our Federal Govern
ment was made for the white race,

shall not be waged in the spirit OF
conquest or subjugation; nor for
the purpose Of overthrowing, or
interfering with the rights and in
situations Of any of the States
but to defend and maintain the
Constitution, and to preserve the
Union with all the rights of the
States unimpaired-and we earnest
ly insist that as soon as these OBJ
jects can be accomplished, by a just
compromise, the war ought to
cease-and we do further earnestly
insist that you will drop the negro,
preserve our constitution and leg
islate for the freedom and welfare
Of the white people Of all the States.
More of MI, Stewards Diplomacy,
The Washington correspondent
of the New York Express tells us
of another chapter in Mr.. Stewards
diplomacy which was not publish
ed in his Voluminous book, 1t ap.
pears that when Spain took the
initiatory steps to seize st. Domin.
go, Mr.. Seward boldly presented
the proud Castifans with a de-
cided protest. Spain replied by
asking, tDo you intend to threaten
as9' Mr.. Seward, in his most bland
manner,5said, Oh, no! and, as usual.
backed down, A call has been
made by Congress for the cores
p%ondence relating to the ipterfer-
ence Of foreign powers in American
affairs. Mr.. Seward replies that
he does not consider it compatible
with the public interests" to let
Congress have this correspondence,
and it will probably be omitted in
the next published volume Of his
diplomatic dispatches. MS
The publication of nearly all ol
Mr.. Stewards correspondence was
incompatible with the public inter.
est, and so, indeed, was the writing
of his dispatches. What we have
read of his letters, renders us sorry
that more of them were not sup,
pressed for the interests of the
country.-Cin. En-.
