Clarendon's answer to Mr. Marcy't letter
of the 28th of December had been laid
before Parliament the previous evening.
The London Daily Xcvcs comments on

amusement and gratification of the Government
at Washington.
CONGRESSIONAL.
Wariunotqw, May 13.?The U. S.
Senate passed the bill granting land to Ala
b una and Florida a IL.il Road purposes.
A ijieesnge was received from the President
in relation to Central Americau affairs,
including the transit routes and the
general condition of Nicaragua. He does
not, however, in it enquire into tho causes
which led to the change of government,
but states that Padre Vigil had been received
because satisfactory evidence exists
that be represents de facto etde jure the
government. 'J."lie President, also, adduces
numerous considerations in reference
to the propriety of his reception, and suggests
additional measures jur the security
of the Transit route. The documents accompanying
the message are voluminous,
and include the letters of Padre Vigil to
Mr. Mare.y, of President Rivas to president
Pierce, a spicy correspetidcnc* bet
veen M- M?'hna and Mr. M?rcy in relaI
oil to the l*te massacre of Americans at
S':
* irgin i>ay, and copies of the instructions
to the naval commanders at that depot
for attending to'the interests of American
citizens. Mr. Wuller spoke warmly in fa
or of Gen. Walker, and Mr. Crittenden
responded by stating that in less than ten
days after the reception in Europe of the
intelligence of the action of our government
in regard to this question, a war
would be on our bands. It js reported

Marcolctn pf t)ip deeisiop pf oqf go?orn

being a violation of the laws of* good nations.
He is, it is said, preparing a eircu

I1 Gentlemen:?I had the honor to receive '
your kind invitation to attend a meeting J
of the citueiis of TVlershuig, to h.ke into
consideration the question of promoting *
j emigration to Kansas, on the seventh of '
May, iust., for which please except my I
thanks. 1
It would afford me very great pleasure J
to accept the invitation, and 1 fully intended
to hate done so, had it Iwcn in my
' power, but circumstances which I cannoi 1
control deny mo the pleasure.
There has, in my judgment, been no
I subject, since 1 have known any thing of
' public affairs in this country, which ought
to at'racl the attention and heart of the 1
Southern people, more than the present '
conditio fc of things in Kansas.
The abolitionists of the North at first ex- 1
cited hut little apprehension on the part '
of the South, and notwithstanding they 4
have grown stronger with every effort ' J
they have made, until they now have the ' .
! control of the most popular branch of the J
government ofthe confederacy, and threat
on even the dissolution of the Union unless '
the relation of master and African slave he | ]
v^iculm, 11 wiiuifruin and ^I'lir^kn, and
not content with this, although (mounting '
to twenty times the nrea, they have organ
ixed Aid Societies, ami, !>y New Kngland *
capital, have determined that the South (
shall not even enjoy, upon terms of equal- 1
ity, tj|c small Territory of Kansas They '
semi their emissaries through and around j
the State of Missouri, first to reduce her to
their wishes,and then draw their poisonous "
cords successively around our Southern
States, until reduced to such numbers that l!
they become like St Domingo, or furnish 1
such scenes of hlood as the hearts ofChris v
tians shrink from c< n cmplating.
Kansas has been opened by the law of
the land, frea to all upon terms of equality.
Her laws are binding upon every citizen of "
the"* United States. These are being re I
sis tod by hands of fanatics, sent therewith c
weapons and the munitions of war, to a
crush our slavery and spill the heart's hlood fi
of Southerners and owners of the soil.? f<
Keen the pulpit* havo been duscctated for ?
this fiendid) purpose; men who have been <*
placed as guatdians over the minds and ?
morals of youths from the South,have giv- f<
en thair aid to this murderous ar.d treason- b
ahle purpose , and no one need douht it is e
time for the south to meet this issue as he b
comes men intelligent enough to defend r
and maintain them. This is the first issue <!
tendered the South hy our enemies, which 0
has not been complicated with some do b
ceptive ingre<lients. In this, there is noth *
ing but a bold and arrogant determination ^
in the face of the Constitution, the law of n
Congress, of the Territory, and justice, to ?
crush out tlis slaveholder, and deprive *|
him of his rights, and it s for the South to ti
meet it as tendered. If she delays, she is K
unworthy of her rights. If she fails to tl
maintain them, she is unworthy the heri- ?'
tac^ and name of her ancestors. The is- d
sue is not of our seeking. We demand h
hut M equals?we would never live with ^
any thing less. ti
Whilst, then, I am denied the pleasure b
of being with you to-morrow, allow me to p
express my most hearty approbation of it
your wise slid patriotic object, am] the d
hope that the Old Dominion will not <le- *
lay in sending men and inonev to aid our
friends in the settlement of Kansas, to si
protect our friends in Missouri; anJ in fact w
in the end, ourselves, from a poisonous : ?
contiguity with vile abolitinnUts. who r.rc "

the Territeoy and if nothing else will do, '
