I NEW YORK HKRALD. ?w If ark, H'tdiitlii*) January 10. IM4( Curious ami Impiiilaiil from the Par West? Mormon Movement In the West similar to the Fourlerlte Movrmrnl In the Rast. We publish to day several documents and papers, detailing the more recent movements of the Mormons in the capital of the new empire in the West, called Nauvoo, or th city of beauty and LI l_ rr-> i . _ J uiesseuness. i nese p ipers contain full accounts ot the singular movements of this most singular people. It appears that the Mormons, under the guidance of President Joe Smith, are constantly engaged in a species of border warfare with the people of Missouri, and whilst waging this war in all sorts of ways, the Prophet himself is very busy enlightening the world, by conducting a correspondence with the seekers of the truth in other quarters?thus carrying like Mahomet the sword in one h in I, and his written revelation in the other. If we correctly understand the ptovisions made by the City of .Xauvoo, it would seent that, in order to protect the Prophet hereafter from troublesome attempts at kidnapping, or arrest by the Missouri authorities, they have created a tribunal, and have already in a state of efficient organization h larg'' military force, by which they mean to carry their own views into operation, and resist aggression and annoyance, from whatever quarter they in >v be presented. And it is ihns mm- ;t.u that, in case further attempts be made by the Missouri authorities to arrest Smith, some physical collision may take place, and according to all appearances, they are still intent upon his arrest. 80 much for the external relutions of this new empire winch his arisen in the West. As respects their internal condition and their prosperity, it would seein that the Mormons are waxing stronger every day, and spreading in all directions, notwithstanding all the opposition which they have met, and in spite of all the chirges urged against them of superstition, immorality, ignorance and folly. One of the most curious developments on these points, is contained I in the correspondence which we give between the Prophet and James Arlington Bennet, of Long Island. This singular correspondence is now, we believe, published for the first lime in this part of the country, and is particularly interesting and valuable at the present moment, in showing how theelogical controversy is conducted in the far west, whilst Drs. Wainwrigfit and Potts ure enlightening ua in so edifying a manner on the same subject here in the east This Mormon movement is very remarkable in another point of view. The Prophet and his followers seem to have a good deal in common with the great Fouriente movement in this part of the country ; yet there are some antagonistic principles also, although the general purpose of both may be the same. Both movements aim at the attainment of comfort?harmony?wealth?happiness here, and as much blessedness hereafter as they can expect to enjov. The principles on which the Mormon social organization has been effected, arc in some respects similar, and in other respects dissimilar to hose of Fourier, as ex >ounde<l. illnstm ted and defined by Brisbane and Greeley and their philosophic as-ociatea. The Mormons huve established a capital city, which they call Nauvoo, and where their great temple is at present in Course ot erection?where their Sanhedrim have been organ ized, and which is to he the great centre of the new empire now extending itself over the world But in their social habits and customs they appear to retain more of the present state of society than the principles of Charles Fourier would warrant. The beautiful "sensuous harmonies' and the grand "concentrated unity of elemental dis cord," do not appear to he studied by the Mormonitcs. In short they have more good sense, though less philosophy than the Fourierites. One remarkable feature, however, common to both, is the manner in which they are endeavoring to subdue to ,hur purposes the influence of the politicians. Recently, Joe Smith announced that they had made no selection of a Presidential curididate, and meant to hold themselves in reserve until they ascertained which was mod friendly to their cause , thereby clt arlv giving out the idea that they intended to hold the ba'ance of power in Illinois and the States where they had converts and disciples. The Fourierites have been pursuing precisely the same policy, only they have now gone so far as to declare their preference for Mr. Clay. On the whole, both of these movements?the one in the western and the other in the eastern section of the Union, begin to excite much attention in .1 v:i u; ? i ?1:~: * kuc )nunipt'j>un;di, leilgmus HIIU moral world. Allll they are eminently deserving of observation and study. They are new and remarkable developments of human nature, under new circumstances, and with none of those checks or hindrances by which the despotic governments of the old world hive cramped and fettered the movements of mind. We believe that we have done much ulr> ady to present, with clearness and fidelity, the views, principles and progress of these extraordinary movements, and we shall continue thus to exhibit them as they come forth before the country and the world. Post Office Reform.?John Jcnes, of the "Mhdisoni in," announces that a plan of Post Office reform is aoon to be introduced into Congress, and givessome description of its principal features. I1 will be quite an ultra reform, it would appear Amongst other changes, it is proposed to abolish the privileges now enjoyed by newspapers, of having subscriptions transmitted free, under the frank of a postmaster, and also to subject their exchanges to postage. We are perfectly willing that this should be done, provided the postage be reduced to a low uniform rate, and that on the principal routes newspapers he conveyed in packages at no higher cost of transportation than ordinary merchandise. A? to cutting oH the free exchanges, th?t is very little matter indeed It would only subject n paper here to the additional expense of a few dollars a week. Certainly we should never allow this consideration to operate for u moment against a great, comprehensive and thorough relonn. Let us have the postage reJuced, and the department reformed at once.

Important Lectukic at the Lyceum?We understand that the Rev. Orviilc Dewey will delivei lo-nujlit (Wednesday) at the Tabernacle, Broad, way, a lecture upon the subject of American Moral* and M inner*. We hear, further, that this lecture will rorisi.-t of a defence of this country from the i' istvc'-landers of European letter writers,and particularly agiinst the Rev. Sydney Smith's a' tack-t upon t ie eredit and honor of Pennsylvania There is no doubt a great deal may be said Upon this subject, and we h ive -till less doubt, that Mr, D'wey, who is a man of eminent talent, will do j nit ice to it; hut we fancy that the best lecture upon th it pirt of the subject will be for the state of Pennsylvania to pay the Rev. .-ydnev Smith, and all the claimants upon it. That would stop their mouths at once. Munificent Donation ?

I ?Yesterday the cose of Moses Y. Beach for sentence, was again called U|>, and again postponed till Friday. During the last six months, ihis cure h is been postponed from time to time bv the Court, under the plea that a civil suit existed, and they could not proceed to judgment until that should be di.-posed of. This cause being removed, the reason assigned now is the time required by the Court to read some affidavits in mitigation. On this matter, we find several notices in the evening papers, from which it would appear that a very curious interest pervades the community? much more than we take or care about the whole u flair. The following is from the Evening Post:? Gk.nk.ral btiiioii?This Day ?Before the Recorder anil Aldermen Purity and Vandervoort. The Court having announced that they would proceed to-day to pass sentence upon .Moses y. Beach, at an early hour the i oint 100m v\ n? ciouded with anxious spectu* tors ai rj o'clock, tlie < nun asseniDleu i lie Kecorder stated tlibt altidnvit* in mitigation of punishment, having beeu put in this morning, and they having had hut little time to examine them, the} hud determined to defer panning lenience until Kriday next. The following is from the American:? Qxikral br.stions.?There was a large attendance of the curious this morning, anxious to hear the judgment ol the Court iu the case ol the People it Moses d . Beach, lor lihel. At the openiug of the Court the defendant appeared with his counsel The ltecorder stated that the Court had received quite a voluminous collection of affidavits in mitigation of punishment. and, therelore, would postpone the sentence of Mr Bench until Kriday morning. The crowd immediately dispersed, and the Court pro ceeded with the ordinary business. The following in from the Commercial Advertiser:? Oin.ktl Sessions?This Dsv.?This being the day fixed upon for passing sentence on Moses V. Beach, for a lihel on the wife of James G Bennett, the Court wns 1 crowded with curious expectants, and many conjectures wero expiessed in whispers, us to tho severity, or otherwise, of tlie sentence about to lie passed Mr Beach himself, "the observed of all observers," sitting just without j tlie space allotted to the bar, wuited in seeming unconcern . the pleasure of the ltecorder. After enduring for some I time tin suspense which his situation was calculated to | excite, he was relieved hy the ltecorder stating that in consequence of the voluminous affidavits ottered in mitigation of tho ott'ence, the Court would require time to I l ead them, and would deter sentence until Kriday morning next. Mr Bench, over whose countenance passed a sickly smile, rose and w ith his friends lcltthe Court. i Immediately ufter these proceedings, the Court | { dispatched them with a promptitude and decision i quite creditable to their high character and stern i equity, as follows:? Sri cut. Session! ? Before Recorder Tallniadge, aDd Alderman Punl)' and Vandervoort. i liarles Itollins, was tried lor stealing from the brig Robert Hammond, n piece of sail duck, worth 58.

These persons, men and women, were poor devils, ttnd could not afford to have affidavits put in by way ot mitigation, or pay counsel feee to cavil on points of law, and thereby procure postponements. Of course the punishment follows the offence?like the report the flash of the percussion lock?or the thunder the lightning. Moses Y. I Beach is altogether a different personage. He is | set down in the "Book of Wealth," published : l>y himself, to be worth &130 000?he is the proprietor of several capital hanks, exi cellently adapted for shaving the poor out ; of a quarter or half per cent on their hard earii| ings every Saturday.

Wars and Rumors of War.?The holy war which has broken out between the Episcopalians j and the Puritans, with Doctor Wainwright at the head of the first, und Doctor Potts ul the head of die second force, is ere iting a great sensation in this excitable community. On this subject we have received the following articles already :? Another vvnr about Nothing POTTS AND KETTLES The Rev. Mrs. Peter Bustle to Wet. J. O. Bennett. j Wet. and Dear Sir :?

This would lead us to doubt the correctness of the last intelligence Irom Havana via ' New Orleans, that five hundred slaves had been killed. ' and that the Alfonso* and Mr. Aldama were implicated, as encouraging the insurrection This is very improbable when it is well known that these gentlemen aie among the wealthiest and largest slave holders in the Island of Cuba ; and it is riot likely that they would harard their own lives, and aid in destroying their valuable _ estates There are a large number of American engineers employed on the su^ar estates in Cuba, but at present tva a "?e no cause for their friends in this country being alarm. ed for their safety The market, as usual, is represented i as being overstocked with American produce, and prices - very low ?Phil.

But of alt accounts we have seen, the most perplexing and contradictory are those published in the newspapers as coining from Buffalo, Rochester and the ' western part of this State. We have already pub- ' lished an account of the arrest of Mr. Rust, the proprietor of the Syracuse House, and also of Mr. 1 Banks?their transportation front Syracuse to Buf- \ i ictlo in the dead of night, and their discharge on | account of no evidence uppetring against them. | Yet it seems very strange that in the Courier and several other paper?, statements have been made and particulars given not only implicating Mr. Rust, but persons of the most respectable character in this city?we ullude to the Messrs. Howard of Howaids' Hotel. At the very first moment when we heard of these statements we discredited them altogether, and every new de- ' I velopinent, und every new fact confirms, more and i more, that first imures;-ion of unhclttf. Indeed it would appear from the statement* of the Courier i and other papers, that these rumors and reportshave sprung from a common source, for they bear an identity, and there is a common mystery respecting the origin and circulation of them, which probably Mr. Rust and the Messrs. Howard will endeavor to dispel, and discover the true uuthors in a few days. We have heard a great many particulars about this business, and the movements of these gentlemen, but we cannot communicate it at present. JJut it is expected that Mr. Ilust himself will toon he here, as in a letter received last evening, and addressed to a daughter, who is at a boarding school in this city, he states that he intended to be here in a lew days, and mentions thai he was arrested without a shadow of reason or law. In some quarters it is stated that all this affair about Mr. Rust, originated in un attempt at a hoax ; but that is indeed a very criminal sort of way to create humor or fun, and if so will, it is to be hoped, be properly punished. Other rumors bring into the drama a female named Leggett, who is represented as the most extraordinary character in her line in this country. She has, it seeins, been olten employed by forgers in this and other States to counterleit the signatures of different individuals, and succeeds, it is said, to a very remarkable extent. It is very probable that all the affair about Mr. Rust was originated by the real culprits, in the hope of giving a false scent and covering their own misdeeds. Another story was in circulation last evening that the Mayor and police authorities had been in secret session, examining some persons. The fact simply was, thut ihe younger Mr. Howard, on his return from the West, had been requested to call at the Mayor's office, and was privately examined relative to the trunk; but nothing implicating himself or any one, was elicited. At nroannl iVto wlinltv urtnir tu in ai*P<.it?>r mvuf?<rv than ever. Copp is now with his family in Troy, and has given up the express business altogether. Some suppose the trunk was taken long before the boat reached the city. In relation to the arrest and dischatgeof Mr Rust, we annex the following statements, which are conclusive as to his innocence :? Tn the Pcbmc.?'We, the undersigned, citizens ol Syracuse and Auburn, having received information tend i/ig to involve Mr Philo N. Rur.t, of said village of Syra cuse. in participating, either directly or indirectly, in the late robbery of the Trunk of R. Pomeroy tic Co , do hereby certify, that we this day proceeded to Rochester, (w here we ascertained the rumor upon this suhject had originated) for the purpose of investigating the whole matter, with the sole and entire view, on our part, of forming the best judgment in our power with regard to the guilt or innocence of Air. Rust, from such an examination That on our arrival at Rochester, we proceeded to ascertain the facts, so'far as it was possible to do under the circumstances ; and from such examination, the un>ler -ifined (being all of the citizen i ol Syracuse and Auburn, who went to Rochester for this purpose) have no hesita lion in expressing our decided opinion, that the suspi cions against Mr Rust are destitute of any foundation whatever, and that the rumors upon this subject had their origin in an attempt, which we understand was par tially successful, to impose upon the credulity of certain weak-minded individuals, who. under the expectation ol iKuluiirs *rt\ wbirb hiul been offered for the recovery of the stolen property, easily leii ji,t? which had been artfully set for them. We therefore take great pleasure in assuring the public of our entire confidence, not only in the innocence ol Mr Itust in this ease, but our unwavering conviction, de rived from a long and intimate acquaintance with him that he is incapable of either committing or being acces , -ory to a criminal or dishonorable act.

Rust having been arrest ed upon suspicion of being, in some way .implicated in the late robbery of Pomeroy U Co , appeared before the I'olice Justiceof this city to answer the complaint. The District Vttorney stated that the first intimation he had received >( the issuingof the warrant was after the cars arrived in which Mr. Rust came, that he had since examiued the matter, and if he had been con-nlted prior to issuing the warrant tie annum not nave wivwj tt, unu uccuncu cnur hi? upon any examination, lie alio stutej, in substance it was due Mr. Hust to say. there were uo facta within his. knowledge to justify the issuing the warrant. The counsel for Mr Hust insisted upon an examination and the production of the affidavits or other evidence upon which the warrant issued ; that it might he seen upon what evidence so gross a charge rested The Dittrict Attorney replied that there were no affi la.' vits made, and ns no one was willing to appear as coml plainant or prosecutor, the Justice decided that he could do nothing more, and discharged Mr. Hust. The undersigned, citizens of Itochester, deem it due to the occasion and to the individual, to make this statement and to express not only their confidence in the entire ahI sence nt any well founded suspicion against Mr. Hust I hut their great regret, to use no harsher term, that any respectable individual should be taken from his residence and truns|iortRd through the country upon so grave a charge, not only without evidence ot guilt, liut without evidence justifying suspicion of otlence.

A strange feeling has possessed the Islanders in behalf olthe "llerald," in consequence of the remarks made in your columns in regard to the individuals who endeavored to palm on you the pretended confessions of Polly Bodme, which are totally false, being fabricated for the puri?ose of extorting money from the New York press, t-he lias this day denied toiler counsel, K. N. Morrison, Esq., of New York, that she has ever inado such a confession as that published. SSlie declares that the report ofher selling fire tothe premises in Spring street for Waite is false in every particular, and that she never gave utterance to any thing of the kind?that the whole is u fabrication, and w as got up for some pecuniary purpose by some inhabitants of this vicinity. t?lie has only been rnritnie hv him once, the result of wliieh was the still-born infant. Any future reputed conj tensions that may be published by tlie name paper that made public tlie false story on Monday should not be believed, us her counsel has advised her to keep still, and unswerno questions or have any conversation with any one. Alter returning from the jail I was invited to visit the most extraordinary sight ever known during the history of this island. It was no more or lessthan astill-born calf, on the farm of Cupt.

It appears from all nccounts that the genius of Ole Bull, having first captivated the people of the north, and "won golden opinions from all sorts of men" there, is pursuing the same process in the south. On Friday, the 5th of January, he gave a concert before u distinguished und crowded auditory at Charleston, from whom his ethereal strains elicited unbounded admiration. We cannot, however, better describe the impression which he produced than by quoting the following graphic rritiijue from one of the papers published in thut city:? Ole Bull appeared last evening at the new theatre to a numerous and eiiraptuieil audience. It is difficult to convey the impression whicli his wonderful execution produced 011 us. He appeared not merely us the accomplish, ed artist, acquainted with the resources of his art, the inI tricucies of harmony and the powers of his instrument, I hut truly as the inspired musician?us one who felt in the ] lecemieiol' hit mind all that was capable of embodiment : in music. It was to us the poetry of sound, put into action. The performances of finished artistical skill are almost of every day occurrence, but it is rarely that the in| stinctof genius adds expression to the elaboration of art, i and when the combination presents itself, as in the case of | Ole Bull, the mind realizes all that the imagination can I picture to itself of the luxury of sound It is to he regretted thut this gifted artist c Hiinot prolong his stay among us until all classes of our citizens who appreciate the beauties of instrumental harmony, have heard the strains that belong to it in its most inspiied mood and character. The Herren Arnold?the German Quartetto, are now at Savannah, Geo., giving concerts at the Theatre, with unbounded success. They created an extraordinary musical excitement during their stay at Charleston, und drew together 2<M)0 |iersons ?the largest musical concourse ever known in that city?at their Musical Soiree for the benefit of the Temperance Soctety. On the same evening Madame Cinti Dumoreau nndMons. Artot.gave a grand Concert, at which thev also volunteered in several pieces, and met with most glorious reception. When are we to have these distinguished performers among us 1 Mrs. Brougham was to take her benefit in the American Theatre, New Orleans, on the 30tli lilt., ivhcn she would appear us Pauline, in the Lady of Lyons. Yankee Hill, by the last accounts was playing his round of characters at Macon, Geotgia.

Spencer's appointment to the United w States Judiciary was sent in to the Senate this day, j as I have already notified you thut it would be. t Should he be confirmed?as seems probable?bis ' place will then become vucunt, und not before. , .1 1 herefore, as there is no reason to suppose the Pre- !l side lit wishes to get rid of Mr. Spencer in any c other manner, there will of course he no one an- i 'I pointed to succeed hnn as Secretary of the Tren- J* sury until his coiifirmatiun by the Senate. There 1 h is a delay, to act upon the appointments of Messrs. ; * Porter and Henshaw, and therefore there may be i 1 delay in acting upon the appointment of Mr. Spen- I r cer. Consequently, 1 do not think the President is | " in any pressing haste to lix upon a new Secretary of the Treasury. There are a thousand rumors uHout, but sensible people will not give heed to j t^em' . i 1 Of one thing you may be pretty certain, relative to the action of the Senate, not only in the matter of appointments, but also in all matters of legisla- , tion?and not only to the action of the Senate, but to the action of the llouse, also?I mean to say, all the important measures agitated and acted upon by this Congress will he with reference to the next Presidency?they will be so many shotted guns fired for Presidential candidates, not pro bono publico. # , A very important debate, and one which will be read with great interest, sprung up to-day in the Senate, upon the instructions to Mr. Everett on the Oregon boundary treaty. Two or three points ure worthy of notice on this subject?the kindly and courteous hearing of the wing Senators towards . the President?a somewhat different bearing on tlie part ol some of the western democratic Sena- j tors, indicating a pretty strong want of confidence in him?a deep belligerent feeling towards England on the part ol these same western democratic Senators, which latter also exhibit u hot spirit of determination to possess the Oregon Territory, noleiis voltns, negociation or no negotiation, treaty or no ] treaty, war or no war. , The West is a younggiant already?even now al- I most big enough to whip its eastern parent?destin ed in a few short years to control the whole United Slutes, even without the accession of the Oregon Territory; but with the Oregon?with a steam communication to the mouth of the Columbia river? ' and with a comparatively short and easy communication to the East Indies from thence. What will the West be then! I know not what it will be, but I know it will shortly control the United States. No wonder western men feel deeply on this subject. Every word spoken to-day by Messrs Allen nnd Benton was like the liquid lava from the mouth of an overflowing volcano. They exhibit about as much respect unu courtesy for old England as a lo- ; comotive would to a bull upon a rail road track, i "Get out of the way, or be run over,all the same to us,go ahead!" They would go to war withEngluud, and take it out in a rough and tumble fight, just as readily and rampantly as David Crockett would have done with a bear. Messrs. Archer, Crittenden, Berrien, Murehead, B ivea and others, tried to soothe and calmt hem down; but it was like patting 1 the hack ofa bull dogwhen his blood is hot?he must fight first?and he soothed afterwards. I verily ! believe if Sir Robert Peel, or Lord Palnierston had j come within arm's length of Mr. Allen to-day, I there would have been a second edition of Jonah ; and the whale, grense or 110 grease. , I am told that there is a battle-of-New-Orleans 8th-of-January supper down at the Apollo this evening, but it ts said to be.a small affuir. 1 can't find any democratic member who knows nny thing about it. There has, 1 believe, been some mismanagement about it. It was first determined to make it a ball; but was indiscreetly changed into a supper. And as soon as the jadies were excluded, or rather bartered forwine, (if they have any,) all interest died. Yours, &c. ?. B. J TWHNTY-K1GHTH COXGKESS. F.IRS T SESSION.

Resolutions Submitted. Mr. Sempli submitted the following, which lies over:? Resolved, That the President of the United States be requested to give notice to the British Government that it is the desire of the Government of the Untted States to annul and abrogate the provisions of the third article of ' the convention concluded between the Government ol ! the United States of America and his Britannic Majest) the King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain anil Ire- I land 011 the 20th Oct., 1S18, and indefinitely continued . I between the tame parties, signed at London the 6th Aug , 1827. i i Mr. Allen submitted the following, which lies ! over:? Resolved, That the President he requested to inform : the Senate, if it be in his power to do so, whether any of the Indian tritiea, or any of the Indians resident within : the territorial limits of the United States, are in the re. ' ceipt, periodically or occasionally, of any pension, pay or ! 1 present, iu money or in other things, ftom the British Go- ; 1 vernment; and if so, that he be requested to state the par- ' I ticulars; also, whether the Government of the United States has had any correspondence with the British Go- 1 vernment in relation to that matter; and, in that event. , that he be requested to lay before the Senate a copy ol such correspondence. Spencer's Appointment.?Here Mr. John Tyler, Jr. presented certain messages from the President, i in writing. Instructions to Mr. Everett.?The regular j course of business here, brought up Mr. Allen's resolution, calling upon the President for u copy of J letter of instruction and correspondence, relative : to the Oregon boundary question. Mr. Allen said he rose to correct a mistake he had made the other duy relative to the person who had made the statement alluded to in a British re- ' port. It was not made by the present prime minis- j ter of England, 8ir Robert Peel, but by Lord Palnierston. Mr. Allen proceeded to read from a cor- 1 rected British report a declaration made on the 21st March. 1843, by one who then slood at ihe 1 head of foreign affairs, und now at the head of a powerful party (Palinerston.) It is the declaration of one who is of as great importance as any . man in England, with the exception of the Prime Minister fThp whi/'li Mr All??n ru./l was published in the Herald at the time.] Mr. Aujem then proceeded to read another part of the discussion. Peel's answer to Pulmerston's, relative to the action of this government?it comes from the throne, and is equal to a speech from the Queen herself. [Mr. Allen reads again, which the Herald has also published ] In resuming, Mr. j Allen saidWe have it then from this high authority, that the President must veto any hill passed by Congress, because,forsooth,there arc to be nego- | ciutious on this question, Hnd peace must be preserved. It is proper we should know the state and progress of these negociations so deeply affecting the titles to our own territory. These questions are of too high moment to be transacted behind the back of the people. They affect the sovereignty of the States. Asbburton's treaty totally failed. Me rsiite to negociate nil questions of difficulty between the two countries?to establish a broad and permanent peace. Put this treaty contains within itself more causes of war than it professed to settle. The Prime Minister himself said in his place that there was a difference of construction, on important parts of the treaty by the two governments. New negociationa are, therefore, necessary, and we are threatened with u war if we j don't comply with certain terms, and surrender a part of our territory. They say " it _ is impossible that the President should not veto a bill to take possession of the Oregon Territory." 80 here we I have it The President has already given away 3.400,0(10 acres of our territory, and now we must give to England another similar slice, or have a declaration of war. This is no party question. The President is not now subject to party influence, and I, therefore, | spmk more freely. And I tell Sir Robprt Peel, that he will never see the day [with great cmnha?is] that a treaty will be ratified by this body wnicb 1 ilmll surrender one square inch of the Oregon Territory. We lost part of the State of Maine by the ! word "Negociation." Great Britain claimed a part of Maine, and we negociuted because she laiined, and lost the Territory because we nego:iated. And now she claims a part of Oregon? uid because she claims it, the President has eon"Pitted to negociate?and the consequence, as beore, of his negociation, will be the loss of mote ter. itory. No?let us tell Great Britain that this is not 1 miration f' r negociation at all. Hhe might claim half the United States, but would that be a reason why we should negociate upon such arrogant pretensions! I tell you [emphatically] the West will never surrender this territory. 1 Mr. Archer, (in veryjeeble health), here roseli ?? nd stated that lie liad that official information to nnuiiunicate, which might probably satisfy the lonorahle Senator from Ohio, [Allen.] And as the hairniiin of the Committee on Foreign Relations, e could officially, troin the President himself, in)rm him that there were nonegociatigns at present ending wall (Ireat Britain upon the Oregon queaon This government wished to hold negocia,ona upon the question in England, hut it had been rranged to transfer them to Washington. If. said Mr. .rcher, 1 understand the honorable Senator from Ohio, Allen], he wishes to obstruct all negotiations on this u est ion. But has not Knglaud been in part possesion of this territory tor thirty years I And now upu the ere of commencing an important negotiation ) settle the question finally?when the minister (I'uckenam} is atiout to set his foot upon our shores, if he has not lready done so, is he to be told that we will have no disussion upon the question at all > that we have taken the uestiou into our own hands, and definitively settled it by esolving ri et armis to possess the whole territory I I r 11 tlio Senator that I will not go into these questions. It rurh? impolitic?imprudent?wrong to ask forthese inrrit^ftMna af thic tftatrp nf tliH nrnr.ffffilinirii nml I u/ill havu lothiug to do with it. It is not dignified for a grave, bodyike tins to go into these matters in this wajr, on the very loint of time when negociations are to begin. It may lie i light matter for a western member, a representative of he overflowing chivalry of the great western country, to uvolve the nation in a war which would cause money to ie expended all along its frontier, while the Atlantic itates would be swept with the besom of war. But 1 von't go into these questions?I will have nothing to do vith culling for these instructions. I have informed you itticisllythat there are no negociations yet begun, but that hey are ubout te commence. And to obstruct them now vauld be u just cause of war. Mr Ann said, the declarations which he referred to vure'made by those gentlemen for the purpose of extortng negociaiions ironi us. But I dont believe there will >e fa war very soon for refusing to negoclate Engand's object in negociating is, to bear otf a portion >f our territory. We object. Then comes a nomilr ibout peace. Wc arc to be frightened like children. "Yield or fight." Does England ever settle a jnarrel t Does she not always keep some quarrel open 7 J lose one?and open another 1 and bear oil some ndvanage at each negotiation for the settlement of her quarrels? Ashburton professed to have full powers to settle alldlffi. initios?but it turned out that his powers were limited. Are we to bo treated like children .' The Ashhurton treaty was heralded to the world as settling a liroad and lure peace, and yet, within the year, wc ure told by their )wn ministers that there is another difficulty to be set.led, which may be just cause of war, unless some wise Daniel comes Irom the East to arrange and negociate it. The proper mode of settling this question is [significantly] to fill it with our people? and when you get men enough ;hen it will be eusily settled. We are not to be told by the British minister that the [resident lias taken a step which IIIIM |il?.Trui III in IWIJI livill ?;u?K III nil nil una ipirmiuu. I am for maintaining, nnparcelled out, [with great eraphasiai] every inch el territory belonging to this country. Then Mr. Allen alluded to another question whichO reat Uritain would never settle, except at the mouth of the sannoa?it was a necessary and inevitable cause of war? r rupture there must be with Great Britain?no crime on either side?but the natural course of things would bring it on [Mr. A. was not understood to suy what this was, 'nit left it to be inferred ] Mr. A said he would notsuper:ede Kxecutive action, but he desired that it might not ommit the whole country. The Senate has a right to ?ct in this treaty. I don't believe the President would do suglit to compromise the interests of this country?nor iny other American, of any kind of politics?but ne may ie mistaken, as he was in"the other treaty. 1 have been led to these remarks by the threats of the F.nglish Minister. Mr. Morkmear followed with some remarks upon the negociation about to be entered into by Mr. Packcnham. It becomes us so to legislate upon this question as not to prejudice the discussions about to be commenced. There is no necessity to adopt this resolution. Why pass it ? There is no negociation pending. The instructions were given as the mere basis on which ncgociations should be :arried on?that is all? so I leam from my friend (Archer.) I concur with him that it is impossible that any President sould carry oil negociations which could by any possibility relinquish any of the rights or honor of this country. Nor will 1 by any vote of mine pass censure, or sven an insinuation against the motives of the President. Let the President proceed to negeoiate, and if we think propei let us legislate; but let us not by otir legislation pass censure upon the constitutional proceedings of the Kxecutive. 1 am not so sensitive as the gentleman from Ohio (AllenJ relative to what these Knglish gentlemen kavc said. The Government of a country is surely net :o beheld responsible for what individuals may choose to lay. It is entitled to no consideration. Let the Senate pause?and let it leave the matter with the President,with perfect confidence that he will maintain tho honor and lignity of the country. Mr. Benton here followed with remarks upon the con- > ititutional right of the Senate to " adviso'' with the Presilent. Referred to the old journal?Washington's exarn>le, Jtc., said the Senate is under moral duress? he was for jiving his advice beforehand?and, at all events, for know- , ng what is going on. The great question is, whether this ihall be a legislative or an executive question. 8r.vKR.4i. Senators?That is the question. Mr. Berrien said?It is proposed to ask us for informsion to enable us to legislate. We hsve no rifjht to ask it. Ie answered Mr. Burton about the early history of tho jovernment. The debate was pursued at great length by Messrs. Ber ien, Beuton, Allen. Wandbury, Archer, King, Criltenlen. Rives and Buchanan. Some considerable sharpihooting occurred between Burton and Archer, in which lie lauer accused me tormer ui uemucruuzing, snu me brmcr retorted by accusing the latter with " aristocrat siring." I have yet twelve close pages of notes, but it ia too late to go over with them. Ou taking the vote npon the resolution, it w as lost 31 to 14?not a political rote. Many of the Senators voted against the resolution in this Legislative session, who will vote in fBvor of jt when it ignin comes up, as it will m Executive Session. Still it is thought it will never pass even in e\.session- as the ivhigs appear to oppose it. More to-morrow. Hons* of Representatives. Wasiiinoto:*, Monday, Jan. 8, 1844. The Bill to Repay Gen. Jackson the Fine of #1000? with six per cent interest for 20 years, has passed the House?The privilege of the floor of the House is granted to Mrs Madison. sir ;? Mr. Wise appeared to-day for the first time in two weeks in" the Hours. He has been home to Virginia. The Clerk read the Journal. Mr. Thompson, of Miss.?I now offer a resolution, Sir, that all debate on the Pill to refund Gen. Jackson's fine shall cease to-day at 4 o'clock, and on this I ask the Previons Question. Mr. Zadock Pratt?I oiler a resolution. Sir, to he read for information. It was lead, and set forth the names of all the 17 States, and the population contained therein that had demanded the repayment of this fine, through their Representatives in Congress?and the resolution also required that all debate on the Bill now before the I louse should cease in two hours. Thompson?I accept that resolution as an amendment to mine, Sir, except thut the debate shall cease in two hours. Speaker?Itwill require a suspension of the rules, Sir. Thompson?I move then, Sir, to suspend the rules, and I call the Previous Question on it. Speaker?Gentlemen, as many as are in favor of suspending the rules will say "Aye"?(Tremendous shouts of "Aye.") Mr. Adam-?(Angrily and loudly)?Mr. Speaker?Mr. S|>eaker?Mr. Speaker! Speaker?Gentleman Iroin Massachusetts. Mr. Adams?1 demand the ayes and noes on that, Sir?(Laughter.) The ayes and noes were called?ayes 117; noes 54. Two thirds voting in the affirmative, the rules wore suspended. Thompson?Now, Sir, I accept that amendment, with the proviso that the debute tliall cease at 4 o'clock. Great noise and confusion, and cries of "Oh, no, two hours is enough"?"No, no, lour"?" No, uo, two." "Oh Thompson, say three"?" No, two"?"No, four." Finally four o'clock was fixed on for closing the debate. Tiiompho*?I now move, sir, the House go into Committee of the Whole, und on that I call for the previous question. Saunders? I wish to offer a resolution, sir, if the gen I tinman will withdruw the demand for the previous ques tion. Thompson?Onlv for that sir? A Member?I object. (Laughter and cries of "oh no, go on, General."! Saunders?Unless the consent is unanimous, sir,I won't oiler it. Cries oi "oh, yes, certainly?go on?offer it." The resolution was read by the Clerk, granting the free an.l full privilege of the lloor of the House to Mre. Madison, whenever she chose to visit the Louse; because the other day she was thrust away in the hack part of the ladies' gallery. It is needless to say that this resolution passed unanimously. The House then went into Committre of the Whole, and took up the Bill to relund Gen. Jackson's line. Mr. Uatis of Indiana, in the < hair. Mr. Schencr, of Ohio, Mr. Aaron Brown. of Ten netsee, Mr. Belser, of Alabama, Mr. Ht> exrod, of Virginia, Vlr. Severance, of Maine, Mr. Hale, of New Hampshire, and Mr. Andrew Johnson, oi Tennessee, all spoke within three hours. Schencr?In the course of this debate, air, gentlemen have declared that they did not want to east any imputation ujion the character of Judge Hall: then it's very easy to say so by putting those words in this bill which they hove determined to pass this night. They say, air, that Gen. Jackson was lined for declaring martial law, when the fact is that he was lined lor a gross contempt of Court. When cited to appear and defend himself, he was contu- , macious, and relused to answer; he stood before that Court and would make no defence. His friends say that he could have made a good defeiice Why, then, did he net make it, insiead of daring the Judge to do his worst?? It was his duty to bow to the law?it is the duty of all to how to judicial derisions, no matter how high the tstion of the defendant. And the fine imposed on General Jackson was perfectly legal, and in strict accordance with the luw and the facts. Judge Hall has been called a coward, because he old not take a musket arid go into the ranks Sir, lie -howed more moral courage on (hat occasion by maintainj ng the luw than Gen Jackson did by fighting the battle. He has also been called tin Knplishmen; well, air. suppose ie was Coiild lie not love lot adopted country tor all liat? Does liberty dwell nowhere but In the United Hates!
