the treaty for the RECOGNITION OF MEX

?and the Spanish Government, and '.hat the dif

the two governments had been removed, and
the treaty had only been submited to the Cor*

The Government of Venezuela is the only
?one earcept Mexico, from South America, that
has a minister Plenipotentiary at Madrid, for
the purpose of adjusting the terms of recogni
tion. This Minister is Gen. Soublette, who
recently has been elected Vice President of
Venezuela. There is very little doubt that
fie has negotiated a similar treaty for his Gov> ,

ABOLITION OF SLAVERY.
Mr. ADAMS presented the petition of I.
Page and twenty^six other citizens of Silver
Lake, Susquehanna county, State of Pennsyl
vania, praying foi the abol tion of slavery and
the slave trade fertile District of Columbia.
Mr. Adams moved that the said petition be
referred to the Committee for the District of
Columbia. > ..% . . r
Mr. PICKENS, asked for the decision ot
the Chair upon the -construction of the reso
lution reported from the select committee
appointed on the subject of slavery in the Dis
trict of Columb a, at &e last session of Con
gross. By that resolution all memorials and
other papers relating to this subject had been
ordered to lie on the table, without being
referred or printed. Mr. P. wished to know
what would be the destinyl of these petitions
under that resolution. W
The SPEAKER said it^would be a matter
for the consideration of the House. After re*
ferrin^ to such authorities ashe could find, he
had come? to the decision t&sfc the operation
of the resolution referred to Ceased with the
last sgS?ioft OfCungress. Th^gueetiop how:
ever, was oneforthe House to determine.
Mr. PICKENS said he ttfald not consent
that these petitions should be-Tftferred to any
standing committee of the ?"JfCt
ed, therefore, to the proposed reference of the
memorial presented by the gentleman from
Massachusetts, and he called for the yeas and
navs on that motion.
Mr. PARKS moved to laf the petition on

A count having been taken on the motion

M* ADAMS asked whether the question
was debateable! , .
The SPEAKER said it was not.
Mr. ADAMS said he would submit to the.
mover of the motion to suspend the rule,
whether he had not better postpone the con
sideration of this question until some future
day, instead of discussing it to-day, which
was petition day I He (Mr. A.) was wijitog
that the gentlemen's proposition should be
fully and thoroughly discussed, and he hoped
it would be so. But be did not think this
was the proper time for the discussion.
Mr, ANTHONY said that as gentlemen
had beeu so anxious to come here to-day, and
as there was no quorum present, he wished to
know who was away; for this reason he mov
ed a call of the House : which motion prevail

An express arrived hereScnday hst, bear
ing an order from Gen. Jcssup to Col. War
ren, who being on furlough, the despatch was
received by Lt. Col. Mills, in command of this
post. The order will be promptly obeyed so
far as can be done in accordance with a pre
vious order to Col. Milts by Gov. Call, who is
of course commander-in-chief of the railitia.
In obedience to the order, 75 men, 27 from
Capt. Ross, 25 from Capt. Piles, and 25 from
Caot. Smith's company, will proceed from
Black ('reek to Fort Drane as an escort to a
train of provision waggons. Col. Mills left

*A gentleman from Black Creek states that
ntelfi^ence from the army had arrived at that
place before his departure, the amount of which
is, that Gen. Jessup, having reached the Was
hoo Swamp, had marched through and
through it without finding a solitary Indian
All had left the Swamp, From this it seems
that Oseola has at last abandoned his strong,
hold, perhaps to seek another, or to retire to
the Everglades. ?
The abandonment of Wahoo Swamp, looks
very much like declining, for the present, at
least, another engagemen . Although we do
not like this, being obliged w.l:en the enemy
is found, battled with and three- fourths whipped

THE POOR GENTLEMAN WHO READS
THE PAPER.
Some twenty or twenty five, or it mey
be thirty years ago, the landlord of the
" * " ^ ' 'wTg.) was so far a
he
poor of that ancient and" by no means elegant
' city were by no means backward to avail
themselves. But the dinner alone, flanked as
it was by an ad libitum distribution of stout
ale and cider, could not appease the generous
propensities of mine host of the Bush ; he waj
iu the habit, also, of giving a scoie of guineas
upon the same anniversary, which were bes
towed, m small sums of from five shillings to
twenty, upon such of the guests as appeared
most in need of something more than a dinner.
1 had been observed for some weeks, to
wards the close of a particular year, which 1
do not remember, that an eldeily personage,
whom nobody knew, was in the habit of step
ping into the bush every day, & taking a single
glass of brandy and water, with which he con
trived to dally so long as was requisite for the
perusal of a London paper, which was a great
thing at that time in Bristol. The gentleman
was elderly, as I have said, and moreover, his
person and garb, as well as his habits, gave
token of his poverty. He was thin and ap
parently feeble ; his coat was seedy, his hat
rusty, his nether habiliments threadbare and
otherwise betokening long and arduous ser
vice ; and his expenditure never exceeded the
sixpence rf quired to pay for the one glass of
brandy and water. -Nobody seemed to know
him ; and after a few daily calls, he came to
be recognized by the waiters and la dlord, -
with that happy adaptation of names for which
English landlords and waiters are remarkable,
as ,4 the poor gentleman that reads the news,
paper."
If any doubts, eximtod ib nvgrty
they were dispelled when Christmas-day ar-"'
rived, and the p^or gentleman was seen tak
ing bis place at the long table, and demolish
ing an ample .. allowance^ of^ the beef and.
pudding for which there tyas nothing to pay.
"Poor felloqpM" soliloquized the landlord of the
Bush. 'Tm sure he can't afford that sixpence
every day, for his brandy and water. I must
make it up for him again. His measures were
accordingly taken ; Jr>hn, the waiter, had his
instructions ; and when the poor gentleman
handed his plate for another slice of the pud
ding, a guipea was slipped into his hand, with
the whispered 'Master's compliments, Sir, and
says this will do -to lay in some winter flan
nels for the children." The poor gentleman
looked at the coin, and then at the waiter:
then deposited it in the right hand pocket of
his smalt clothes- : and then drew-forth a card
i~"*4iijchhe handed to John quietly remarking -J
[ ^Myi^asr^ajid compliments to your masiei,
and tell him Ji^ltri^^r^happens to come my
way, I hope lie- will call upon me." This
was the inscription on the card ; Thomas
Coutts,57 Strand, London.
The "poor gentleman" was at Bristol, su
perintending the erection of eome thirty or
forty houses he was building on speculation.
What afterwards passed between him and the
landlord of the Busb, is not recorded ; but this
much is known?that the said landlord soon
after engaged very largely in the coaching
business : that his drafts on Coutts & i!o. the
great bankers, were always duly honoured ;
that he was very successful, and became one
of the rich men in Bristol. And it is further,
said, that the identical Christmas Guinea is
still in the possession of the. "poor gentle
man's" widow, her Grace the Duchess of St.
Albams. ? Knickerbocker. ~
?The North and the ^South' are words
of daily occurence in the conversation of
most persons, having any experience of
current transactions- or events. The con
duct of the" north towards the south, as
regards the tariff and slavery, has made an
indellible impression in the minds of southern
citizens ? in one respect diametrically adverse
to the federal constitution, wljrch binds the
states in one government; and on the tarifl,
apparently conformable tp the letter of that
constitution, but essentially hostile to its spirit.
" ' ' " *' ? |*Ca a such things be,
'And overebme us iik&ajsumraer's cloud,
-- Without our special wonder ?"
. The feelings that dictated and. enforced
those hostil, stilf exist in full force ; and tho'
they may for awhile slumber amid the excite
ments of parly tactics and strifes, they are
bu^dormant ? the snake is scathed not killed.
None are more sincerely solicitous for the
permanence of the union than ourselves ; but
that welfare cannot be promoted, nor that per
manence ensured, except by harmony of inter
ests? by forbearance and equity. The tariff
was oppressive as a direct capitation tax on
the south, aitho' the duties were num<!rcially
uniform thro* the uniou. The manufacturing
distriets-ot the north reaped all the benefits;
and on the agricultural states of the south,
pressed all the evils: the southern states actu
ally bc-came tributary to the northern. * Thf*
abolition movements ar2 equally designed
against southern rights and property ; and
are unfortunately sanctioned by the laws of
most northerh statrs. There are few excep
tions. All are leagued against slave properly
in transitu', and if may be conjectured of them,
that they wonld violate it elseware, if they
possible dare.
J t is therefore the interest ? nay the doty? r?
of ibe southern states to reflect on their posi
tion in the federal republic : so that it may be
meliorated or altered. The numercial superi
ority is against them; and it is not likely that
they shall again have a president of their
.choice. In the senate of Congress, they may
possibly have an equal vote, but how fearful
are the oddsagains them in (he house ?^rep
resentatives, that wields the purse and sword
of the nation! ?
The southern states are wanting in popula
tion and commerce. The no*thern have vol
unteered as factors for the southern, and^ave
consequently extended their means of subju
gating the south, by numbers and success in
trade. The Southern stab s ca'n - never be
placed in the proud position thai they should
occupy, in the great American Union, till they
take their commerce into their own hands ?
and virtually or tacitly declare a commercial
rum- intercourse with the Atlantic States.
Not less than jive sixths of all the exports
are the products of the southern states; and not
less than two-thirds of the imports are consum
ed in the south; yet the south is tributary to
the north, because of the factorage system ;
and subjected, because of the mercantile ag
grandizements and political manoeuvres con
sequent. A radical and resolute determination
should therefore pervade all southern citizens;
to concentrate commerce as far as practicable
among themselves in their own iminodiate
states: and if necessary a southern convention
should bo called for this Durpose. - An union
of interests can alone prevail^? N.O. Standard.
Blasting Rocks with a streak o' Lightning.
? A London paper of recent dale, mentions an
instance . which lately occurred in Prussia,
where, in order to get rid of an enormous rock,
and to avoid the ordinary expanse of the un
dertaking, a deep hole was bored into the rock
into which was fixed a bar of iron twenty eight
feet high, for the purpose of attracting light

The adjourned meeting on tbesubject of this
and other branches of Internal Improvement,
took place last evening at the Cincinnati
College, and although the evening was one of
the most inclement we ever knew, there was a
large meeting, fully illustrative of the great
interest felt upon this important subject. The
committee of twelve, appointed at the meet^
Jng on Saturday evening, consisting of the
following gentlemen. Daniel Drake, David
Gwynne, M. T. Williams, Nathan Guildford,
Robt. T. Lytie, E. S. Thomas, E. D. Manss
field, E. P. Garness, David Griffin, N. C. Read,
E. Woodruff, and George Graham, Jr., report
ed in favor of the City Council procuring au
thority fcom the Legislature to borrow six
hundred thousand dollars, to be equally divided
upon the, Cincinnati and Charleston Rail
Road, the Miami Rail Road, (which is a conv
tinuation of the Charleston road on this side
the Ohio river to the Lakes), and the White
Water Canal. The subject was ably discus^
sed until ten o'clock, when, upon taking the
question, it was almost unanimously in favor
of the measure, but two, or three, faintly au
swering in the negative. This measure will,
we trust, prove satisfactory to our Carol. na
friends, and induce them to acquiese not mere*.
!y in the ftoad coming to the Ohio at this
point, but to use their influence with the Leg
islature ofKentucky, to permit the river to be
bridged, and thus connect, the Southern Road
to the Lakes. 13y this means all jealousies
would be done away, and the energies of the
State throuc ii which this immense line of Road
will pass be nil brought to act upon, and bring
it to a successful termination. ? Cm. E. Post.
