THE ALASKA PURCHASE At meeting
of the House Committee on Foreign At
fairs yesterday there was a lengthy debate
on the bill appropriating money for the
purchase of Alaska General Banks pre-
sentea a report in favor Of the appropria-
tion maintaining that as the treaty had
been solemnly made by the Executive De-
partment, and in the same spirit ratified
by tie Senate, that it was the t.uty of
Congress to make the necessary appropria-
tons without hesitancy. General Wash
burn, of Wisconsin, presented another re-
port, taking an opposite view from that of
General Banks, and asserting that the
whole question was one for Congress to de-
eide, and that the purchase could not prove
beneficial to this country, and that the
expenditure was unwise in the present
condition Of affairs Without coming to
any vote, the entire subject was informally
laid over until the first Tuesday in May
next, when it will be brought up for final
action
1t is said that when this subject comes
up again, third report will be presented
in committee opposing the purchase, but
couched in milder language than that used
by General w ashbnrn. National htteNi-

EB" We take great pleasure in laying
before the readers of the HERALD, this
week, the able and conclusive argument
of Mr. WALTON, in the Virginia Conven-
ton, on the question of negro suffrage
This is the question of the day. Shall the
State of Virginia, with her great interests
and resources, be hereafter governed by
negroes and imported Yankee ofice-scekers,
or shall these great interests Ire controlled
by her own white citizens, her statesmen
and sages? IF, from their supineness and
Indifference, the white voters of the State
shall permit this infamous outrage, this
sin against humanity, to be porpetrated.
language would fail to portray the dire ca
lamities, the horrors of the living death to
which the white people viii be subjected
by negro domination let every man,
into whose hands this exposition of the
falacies and dangers of negro rule may
fall, read it carefully.

ed Their property is to be controlled
and manipulated to educate the immense
negro masses of distant section of the
State, for whose presence and ignorance
they are in nowise responsible. This will
be infinitely worse, if carried out as it may
be, than the mild confscation of Thaddeus
Stevens. We will be governed as a

lie
[ shall close with the declaration that
it is but natural that my people should be
substantially a unit upon this question:
In this regard they but initiate and plead
the example of the white men of the North,
under circumstances where the grounds Of
objection are infinitely less They have
no feeling of hostility to the negro person
ally and are willing to accord him all his
rights. They may do more than this in
the future, should he prove himself worthy
of higher position and higher trust But
at present we must respond substantially
in the memorable language of the noble
Deputies from the Swiss Cantons to Napo-
leon, when under groundless protences he
sought to overturn their government and
destroy their liberties :-''Wh lille we may
yield to force, we are resolved'to do moth
ing which may impair the precious bequest
Of freedom to future generations, or sane
ton, in any degree, that which other in
habitants of this Commonwealth accepting,
may Lave the appearance of approving"
[ trust the threatening clouds which
now overhang oar sky may disappear, and
that God in his mercy may protect us from
the impending calamities of internal anar-
chy and civil confusion.

During the discussion Of the proposition

Radical A omission.

In a recent debate in the house of Rep
resentatlves, two of the Radical leaders
made admissions that are worthy of record
Mr.. GARFIELD, of Ohio, said that "the
men who had fought against the country
most honorably, were generally the most
reliable men, and were entitled to more
confidence than those who had only given
their spirit, but not their body to the re-
belion"
Mr. FRANswoRrH, of Illinois, expressed
the opinion that one of the greatest calam-
ties that ever befell the country would be
''a black mans party and a white man S
party in the South" He said that when it
shall come to pass that the people are d.
vidcd into two parties based on color, the
Uach; mans party a0iu go to the dust. >
