t.1 -j^jjafirnat tJiia man Walker lias been doing. Thi?
jHjpP'vrns a-matter of grout impurt.mcc. wliieli the
Itou6e could not overlook. ]t involved throe
considerations to bring it to their notice. In
tlic first place, the rights of Walker and liis
followers who hud been so.i7.e1] ; whether they
nre criminal or not is nnother question ; socoinlly,
tliu rights of Nicaragua ami Costa Kion,
or whoever owns the territory invade*! ; thir?l
ly, nnd of more importance, which <lid not. depend
on either of the two points preceding : it
appeared that, one of our naval officers, whethi>r
nr tuif l*v tli<? nullirthii ? #!??.
marched into foreign territory and brought a
way Walker and his 0110 or two hundred men
f>y force. It must strike every one that (hit
was an act of war. Suppose Walker was a
fcad man, this did not justify the invasion ol
Nicaragua for his arrest. Suppose Nicaragua did
not object-to the invasion of the soil l>y u forb
?ign nrniv for that purpose. This did not justify
Commodore I'nuldinir. If civil war <n* rebellion
were in progress there, ami our officersMipprcssed
it, the triumphant party would not
complain. He had no doubt that, if in the rev
olutioii in Paris, American troops bad interfered
in behalf of Louis I'hilippe, the latter would
not have complained of the invasion.
Mr. Kitchie, interposing, iwiid the net. of Commodore
l'aulding was justifiable on the ground
that Wnlker was a fugitive from the criminal
Jaw, mid officers being dispatched, had a right
^ f to arrest, him anywhere.
a?i?. v/iiuuwiuii, i r-puimm:, ri'inarhni vnai. in*
did not concur with liis friend. Ifa fugitive
go into Canada, wc would have tlio right to
make n demand upon n r??i*<?i(rn trovomiMent f r
his restoration. But if we invade that Territory,
the gentleman from Pennsylvania could
see*it would involve us in much trouble, nnd
would present a very sorious question, Congress
limy authorize interference in the affairs
^ j, nf a foreign country ; hut as Congress is tlie
war-making power, our oliicers haven" right
to invade a foreign country without, authority.
If we justify the. invasion of Centra! America
by Paulding, wlint may n*?t Great Britain do ?
If wc can land forces there ami interfere in
tho affairs of Hint country. Great Britain can
do the same. If this he tin violat ion of the
Clayton Bui wor treaty, what isf The Government
of the United States is bound to disavow
the actof Paulding. Were wc to leave our
naval officers discretion to commit' nets of
this description ? The President himself cannot-do
it, nnd certainly not his subordinates.
Mr. Warren objected to the discussion of the
merits of tho question on n mere resolution
calling for information. "While prepared to
vole for it, he was not ready to commit himself
011 the question till-properly advised on all
the fnots.
Kir.Cliti^man had no douht the House will
gct'the information quite speedily, perhaps- tomorrow,
Mr. Jones, of Tennessee, said it wa3 right
that the House should be informed of nil the
fncts relative to the fitting out of the expedition
ill this country by Walker, and all the in
formation respecting his capture oik} return.
Voice*.?That's right." Lot's linvc it all."
Mr. Faulkner moved an amendment to tlie
resolution calling on the President to commutiieato
nil tl?e fncls and informal ion which rendered
it probable that William Walker was engaged
Inst Summer and Autumn within the
limstsof the United States in fitting out a military
expedition against the people and territory
of Nicaragua j also copies of all orders,
letters nnd instructions addressed to the various
officers of Government relative thereto;
together with such other measures as were
adopted to arrest said military enterprise and
enforce the neutrality laws ; also unbrace the
instructions, if any, to Paulding for the arrest
of Walker, and showing how it has heen approved
or disapproved by the Government.
Mr. John Coc hrane would have the inquiry
made to include nil the circumstances hearing
on this important question. It was essential
tt> know what was \\ nlUer's position in regard
to the laws of tlie United States when he left
onr shores. By what authority he assumed to
net, niul whether his authority was an assumption
against the laws-of tlie United States. This
was as important- as his attitude in relation to
the Government, itself.
- Mr. Savage said the House was not in eon Tition
nt present to discuss this question with
justice to the country, the administration, and
our great interests involved in Central America?interests
such as no other nation has there.
'i. "Without being a partisan of Walker, he would
say that the cause, of which Walker seemed tt>
be the representative, whether worthy or un*
? worthy, deserved candid consideration. Jt
tftts ti" poliey which looked to interests a?
great and as the foundation of this Govern.
, i>ment, As to tHe Clayton-Bnlwer Treaty, it
was infamous, lie could not find language
sufficiently strong to express his detestation of
it. TJie Treaty was ns stupendous a fraud a*
ever disgraced a country.
Mr. Humphrey Marshall offered an amendment
to Mr. Faulkner's amendment, calling on
Y i- ' the President, further to communicate whether
our Government, prior to the nri-n?i w..n.-?
liad undertaken, by treaty or other arrange
ment with the existing government of Nicaragua,
to guarantee the peaceable enjoyment of
the transit rpute between the Caribbean Soa
and the Pacific Ocean, or otherwise assume
tho protectorate of sai?l route, with the army
, ' of the United States, ifnoeessiry.
Mr. Marshall said his intention was to aseer>
. fcain to what extent, this Government assumed
tho protectorate wliieh-^ might inducc it to
jrhield pu officer who violated the law.

Tho Cotton Crop.
The Angi^tx Constitulivutlist, furnishes sonic
interesting-Htatciucn in rM|'?cting tin- prvae n !
cotton crop, ami in view of its prohab'
deficiency advises tliu planters to hold on for, j
better price*
In mi ordinary condition of trndo anys thut '
paper, the consumption for the ensuing year 1
would cxhnuvt :i clop of 3,500,000 bales; ami,
deducting 1000,000 of bales, for the loea of ;
consumption consequent upon the liuniicial I
derangement of tlic times, there would atill j
be a demand for 2,600,000 bales which the crop
of the present year cannot exceed. '
This conclusion is based upon the deficiency
of the receipts up to the present lime. Prom
the 1st September to the 21st November last,
** .
there wns ft decrease luvwhe .receipts, or 30",- |
2:W, below.,tliose of the preceding year ; ami
from the 21 November to the Stub 1'ecember,
a decrease of i!0,000 bales per week. This de- 1
crease has not been caused by the planters j
holding hack their crop.*, since on the contrary j
several causes have forced a larger proportion j
of the crop to market, than during the past
year :
The deficiency in the receipts is the legiti- >
mate result. oftheslmrt crop, mid as it is man- j
ifcst that the wants of the world, under favor- i
able circumstances, would require three mil- j
lion live hundred thousand hales of American ,
cotton in IH.'iS, and as it is certain that the re- |
ceipts-would he one million bales less than i
that quantity, is it not. time for cotton plan- j
ters and cotton <lealcrs to cheek the downward |
tendency in the price of cotton, l>y withholding j
their supplies ? J

fhe President's Message in Relation to '
Walker.
The President in his reeent message to the j
enato, whilst condemning the net of foiuinolore
Paulding, in arresting Cleii. Walker, i i
ledges himself to use all the powers of the Gov- j 1
rmncnt t<> enforce the neutrality laws. In his !
onst ruction of the powers conferred upon the ! '
overunient by these laws, the arrest could
nve been justified, if made on the high Sens, j 1
it is, Nicaragua is the only party, who has '
IM.rl.f In ..fll... : 1 1
ory. The maintenance of those laws, ho urijes | 1
>n the ground ofjustiee anil humanity, ami in , '
lie following extract, shows it to be tlio true 1
ioliey of the Country: i]
Bnt if motives of <luty were not sufficient to ; I
est rain us from engaging in such lawless enter- ! i
irises, our evident interest ought to dictate j <
his policy. These expeditions are the inostefeetunl
mode of retarding American progress;
lthough to promote this is the avowed object I
f the leaders and contributors in such under- i
nking?. ltisbevond question the destiny of <
ui' race to spread themselves over the emit in- j 1
nt of North America, and this at no distant day. i '
hould events be permitted to take their natur- j i
1 course. The tide of emigrants will flow l<> '
he South, ijiul nothing can effectually arivst its j
irogrcss. If permitted to go there peacefullv, !
Central America will soon contain an American !
topulation, which will confer blessings and ,
>enefits ns well upon the natives as their res- t
icctivc Governments. Liberty, and the res- ;
raint of law, will preserve domestic peace; .
vhilst the different transit routes across the
sthmus in which wc are so deeply interested |'
vill have assured protection. Nothing has re- '
arded this happy condition of affairs so much j
is the unlawful expeditions which have been J
itted out in the United States to make war '
ipon the Central American -States, llad one- !
mlf of the number of Amciican citizens who j
lave miserably perished in the first disastrous 1
expedition of General Walker settled in Niear- I
igu.i us peaceful emigrant-, the object which j
,ve all desire would ere this have been, in n
treat degree, accomplished. These expeditions !
lave caused the people of the Central Amei-iean j
Hates to regard us with dread and titspiciou. j
t is our true policy to rcmov? this misapprcicnsion,
and to convince them that we intend j
o do them good, and not. evil. We desire, as \
he leading power on this continent, to open, j
ind, ir need l)<?, to protect every transit route j
(cross the I>?tlititus. not only for our own benefit, j
>ut that of tho .world, and thus open a free ac- 1
;crs to Central America, an~d through it to our j
l'a< itic poenef-eioiis. This policy was commen-i
icil under favorable auspice*, when the expo- i
lit ion, under the command of General Walker, j
. scaped from our territories, and proceeded to
i'nnia Arenas. Should another expedition of a
timihir character again evade the vigilance of
jui officers and proceed to Nicaragua, this
would be fatal, at least for a featfon, to i)ie
policy of American progress The iruth is that
no Administration can successfully conduct, the
foreign affairs of the country"Jn Central America,
or any where else, if it is to be 'interfered
with at every step by lawlcss.inilitary expeditious

Country Papers.
The following remarks of a I?oston paper,
harmonize so well with our own views and
feeling*, an J our own self interest in the subject
matter, that, wo cannot withhold the advice
from our readers.
The peculiar advantages of the District paper*
arc obvious. They direct attention to
matter.-) of loeal interest; furnish a medjum
for the discussion of such questions, and thus
Contribute to form an enlightened opinion upon
subjects of immediate public interest. They
are hence, the mure interesting, and thus stimulate
a task for reading especially nmorigchil
dren, whose attention is naturally attracted
to all subjects of loeal interest. They furnish
an amount of information 'which could renth
tho^ reader through .no other source and in
which everyone is more or less interested. In
short they contribute in a variety of ways to
the character, intelligence' and prosperity of
the country* nnd appeal to the support are all :
"People hardly know liow much they lose hv
not subscribing to their country piper. There
are always certain matters of local interest,
i. i? t...i,/Cv.>u nv.,1.1- ?ni?i
fully 'posted up.' Instead of sending nway
fifty or a hundred" milos'Tor a miscellaneous
piper, suited only for a general render, every

' '^ow if this is not good, advice, we hardly

I entered it and with a brutality, eharacteristio.

Fearful Shipwreck.
J/r. Julitor : Among the marine disasters of
the past year, the faithful chronicler cannot
fail to record with feelings of unwonted sadness
the total wreck of the Steamship Tanpcranec,
manned and owned in the port of Abbeville.
j This old vessel, whoso unseaworlhiuess "had
. , . ... vdt
long oecn eu^pccieii, lias at last gone down.
Several years ago she'got upon the rocks, and
great fearit were then entertainod that alie
would never make n voyage again ; bnt by a
hard struggle, she was got off, an<l having been
like the ill fated Oeorge l.a\v, overhauled und
painted, new hoi It r.v put. in, and name and rig-v
ging changed, with a goodly load of passengers;
and under a powerful head of steam, ejic put
to sea, bidding delianee to the strong king. Alcohol,
and all the Tritons and fiery-eyed mounters
of that "vasty d'rp' o'er which be rules.
Strange to say, however, the fatcjof this ship
was not sealed by the terrific violence of the
Equinoctial gale; no while rqnull suddenly capsized
1?er, as she moved so majestically over
the dangerous Clements beneath. On^flie eon?
trary when last seen, slur was steored by a
branch J'ilol, and hrtd a fair breez<t' but from
the wr.y the vessel moved it was icarud' she

had become water-logged. And so it provea'to
be. She ha* gradually, settled doicn* .Agd lilrfc
