.9 Corresponment of the Chars News. WasutiOTO, May 13, 1643. Payment for lost proper y-A just Claim 9 -The Abolitionists-How )JIr. 'T'uck was co Wued by Mr. Burt-Mr olmes, &jc. , On a bi rrelief ofthe legal representa tives of Benjanin Hlodges, a debate, pos sessing much interest, took place to-day im the louse of Representatives, in commit tee oftha whole; Mr. Sims in the chair. Mr. Tuck an Abolition member from New Hampshire, opened the discus4on io an hour's speech against the claim, for a slave taken away from lar)land, at the close of the last war, by the Bsitish al though a prov' o payfor similiar los see was made er the treaty of Ghent le preset sual stereotype views, such as ut take the money of the people to pay for slaves," "they are not property," "we ask to he exen t from the curse and sin of the institution;" and to crown his absurdities, he pertinaciously insisted that in the case if Groves vs. Slaughter, the Supreme Court through Justiee John McLean, decided thati slaves are not property under the Constitution of the United States. Mr. katri desired to put the gentleman on his guard, and asked distinctly whether lie undersio *d him to Say that the Supreme Court had made such a decision. Mr. Tuck read frot the honk, "that 'avery is a local and municipal in 6tituttW , and the holding of slaves is only in virtue of municipal rel I ttiots," and be said that this was the decision of the Su preme Court! - - Mr. Rhc who reported the bill under consideration, f tom the Comnmittce tin For eign Affairs, made a plain stitetent of the case; and in a very few woiirds, showed that lr. T. was wrong from beginning to etd. Great Britain by the treaty of Ghett, agreed to pay for slaves taken away by her vessels orfthe Aimerican coast. There was some doubt as t'o the tents of the t:ea, ty; reference wan ade to the Emperor Alexander, of Ru~s, and he decided that Great Britain shoulil pay. Great Britain agreed to a commission, and a list of claims was made out; by another Ctonven. tion however, she agreed ' to pay a round sum of money, between .- and 1:1 thou sand dollrs, And our Government cosen ted to talk> it, and satisfy the claimants. Our government, in fact.assutmed the pay ment with the British money.-Claimants have been satisfied. There yet remains a sum of two thousand dollars it the treasu. ry, and from this claim of the legal repro sentatives of Mr. )lodges was to be dis. charged. Mr. Rheit took occasion to give t' the fanatics a good beating, which tieir friends in the Hall did not relish, as a mat. ter of course. 1 have already remarked that Mr. B. asked several times, whether he understood Mr. Tuck to say that the Supreme Court of the United States decided through Justice McLean, that yery was not property underthe Consi tu'ion of the United States. That gallant Carolinian now arose to set Alewith Mr. T. the issue as to the decision perty." Mi-.15trt remtarked thatt, as ite genttleman had read what purported te he the decision of the Sutpreme Court, ho was yet almosrinlclinled to doubt whtether lie ever read the decisioni which lhe quoted to the Committee. Mr. 'Tuck adhered to his position. Mir. Buort thten read from the record the ease of Grovcs vs. Slaughglter precisely the samTe tn which Mlr.

Neither party claims him as its champion; there he stands, occupying a position high above all selfish aid petty considerations, and speaking fearlessly and freely on the important subjects deeply affecting the in terests of the Union. lie denied, in the course of his remarks, that there was any proof of undue isoglish interlrence in the atlairs of Yucatan, and that circu-nstances would justify the interposition of our Go. vernmeut. linving been a member o1 Nl r. Mlouroe's Cabinet. the only one survi' ving,-he defe'nded it from the interpreta tion sought to be given to the declaration, that no portion of the American continent was to be subject to european colonization. Hlowever, there might, he said, arise ca ses in whic he would interpose the pow er of this government, even at the hazard of w-r, such, for instance, as the subjuga tion of Cuba by a foreign state.

If the appeal fIr aid resulted from the massacre of the whites, htmanity woull authorize it being given, but there were powerful considera tions which should induce us to act with extreme caution. Mlixed populations in other quarter, of the globe were liable to produce a similar state of affairs to that now presented in Yucatan; and if we interpose in its affairs, where will the poicy termi nate ? Ile was willing to send our ves. gels to that neighbu hood, to rescue such as desired to escape ; and said that Eng land had given such relief, and no tnore. lie believ;-d that the Yucatanese feared Mexico more than they did the Indians, and he doubted the propriety of furniuhing arms and ammunitions to them, as the bill proposed. But I do not pretend even an outline of tite Senator's remarks; they were listened to with marked attention. After lie concluded them, a moving in the galleries towards the doors, showed that there was but of little retnaiuing interest on the occasion. MIessrs. Cass and Foote delivered their views, and subseqiently the Senate ad jourr.cd.
