" " Mr. George W. Veale was, lor several years, (from youth to manhood) a resident of this city.. He married here a highly respectable young lady, and always maintained a high character for morality, integrity, and honor; and no such charge was ever made againBt him until it appeared in the Enquirer of Saturday. The circumstances alluded to by Mr. Hall related to another person, who was then, and is now, a resident of Daviess county. ' Wm. E. French, Jas. II. Cutler, Z.H.

George Mallone is a native of the Emerald Isle, who lives in tha classic land of Morgan connty, Illinois. Some months since, he commenced work with one Mr. Jordan of that county, and while in his employ, fell in love with "the old man's daughter." Though George was old enough to be the father of his heart's ideal being forty-five and she sweet sixteen yet,strange to say, his love was reciprocated by the fair damsel. They mutually declared their sentiments, and for several weeks loved on in secret. But loving it girl against the knowledge of Ucr parents, is like pouring water into a basket it will leak out. Their love ' leaked out, and old Jordan swore vengeanc on the impudent but innocent Irishman. Mr. Mallone, finding that in his course of love "Jordan (old Jordan) was a hard road to travel," went, accordiug to previous arrangements, to the Jordan mansion, at the hour which poets call the noon of night, and spirited the fair maiden away. They tamo to this city and went to the Missouri Hottel, Mallone registering their names as " George Mallone and wife." From the youthful appearance of the lady and the fatherly appearance ot Mallone, the clerk "smelt a mice," and asked George if the lady wag really his wife. "No, but be the powers she shall be afore night." He was advised to make himself a married niau at once, if he wished to occuppy the same room with the lady. Mallone, ia company with his almost-w ife weut to Justice Walthcr, and asked that they should be joined in the holy bonds of wedlock, bsqmre alther asked the young lady if she could swear that she was eighteen years of age. She could not. Sixteen was all she could answer for. Mallone said he could swear she was old enough. Not being willing te take such evidence, Justice alther relumed to marry them. Mallone's countenance fell, and the damsel evinced signs of distress. Not being willing, however, to give up the ship, the interesting couple went to another Juttice, who, for the sum of fifty cents, made them as happy as two mortals need be. They departed to their hotel rejoicing. We can " phansy " old Jordon's "pheliuks" when he hears of his daughter s fate. But Mai loue happy Mallone 1 now safely in the arms of his fair young bride, he can sing " Not Jordon's threats to take my blood, Can fright loeauy mure. .

Mr. Grow, of Pa said that the question of population, though a safe rule, would not always control bisaction. He would take into consideration the -circumstances of the application.

Kansas' could not come into the Union unless as a stave State. Congress would not give her an opportunity to throw off federal oppression' and wrong. Tiie population of, Kansas, is. much larger than that of Oregon. H would not give Iiis sanction to such unjust discrimination as is now proposed in favor of Oregon. .

The Island of Cuba for a long time was an integral part of the Spanish Kingdom ; so guaranteed by the constitution. .Bolivafs plan to assist Cuba in , declaring her independeni.e,'' fell through because 4ha United States learning that Great Britain intended to seize the opportunity during her stfuggle for independence, interposed, through Mr Clay, and prevented- the movement. Spain became alarmed, and placed tho island in a state of siege, ;ad it has ever siuce so reniaiiled under the despotism of the Captain General, who is invested, like a commander of a besieged city, with -unlimited power over life and property.. Vet we are told the Cubans seek to remain under this yoke. It is not so. They have done all they could to throw it off. In 18HG there was a revolt. Later then was tho conspiracy of the Black Eagle. Later those familiar attempts to all of July, 1851, when a few patriots declared their independence in a proclamation, which Mr. Benjainui read, setting forth their intolerable grievances. The fidelity of Cuba to Spain, was only maintained by 30,000 bayonets and fleets that watched the coasts. The'cornparison between the oppressed and unarmed Cubans, and the armed 3,000,000 of our forefathers is fallacious. All that the Cubans could do they have done. This being the . case, why may not Congress make au expression of their opinion towards purchasing iU ' dleneed not reply to the titatement that an offer to purchase Cuba would be an offense against Spanish diguity: '-Everything that Spain has hold ot this continent has been torn from her, except Louisiana and Florida, both of which were bought of Great Britain and France. Great Britain offered to biiy Cuba in. 1823, and in 1826 was at the bottom of a plot to take it under a protectorate. Both tailing, she now proposes a tri-partite treaty between England, France and the United States, to guarantee that nobody but Spain shall have it. As to France, what right has she to object to the purchase. What interpolation into the law of nations prevents the acquirements of territory by purchase.' "Xapoleon's Uncle bought Lousiana. As to - England, if she raised her voice, Mr. Benjamin trusts that the reply will lie a demand that she acaouut for her title to. the Bay Islands f and when Lord Clarendon pleads spontaneous settlement, we claim the spontaneous - settlement of .Cuba.' There is no need to invoke tho musty bibles of international law ,to show that she belongs to Spain. The fundamental basis of the Amer ican policy is the right ot tue people to in stitute our forms of government. Cuba be longs to her people, and it is for them to say what form of government they will live under.We propose to purchase from Spain; but. if Spain's dignity is offended, let us invoke her to grant independence to herCuban subjects, and we will' indemnify .her for the outlay, trusting to recompense ourselves ni the friendly relations that will grow up between us and the people of Cuba. - If she refuses to cede or relax her despotic grasp, let the United States, in the face of the world, inform Spain that on the first occasion that offers, she will extend to ' the Cubans the same aid that Great Britain gave the 1 other Spanish colonies ia revolt; the same aid that France gave us in the darkest days of the revolution. If the Cuban3 prefer independence, we will protect them independent. If they prefer annexation, we will receive them with welcome. r , . Mr, Doolittle said thai, the American policy rested on a triple foundation. 1st. That under uo circumstances can Cuba be transferred to any European power. 2d. That so long as it belongs to , Spain we will not seek to wrest it from her. 3d. That when ever we can acquire Cuba by the consent of Spain, and of the people of the - Island, by purchase and cession, we are ready to accept it. He expressed himself free to believe that in the progression of time Cuba will be incorporated into the Union, but he does not considsr that time as yet come. In support of these views be quoted Mr, Clay, Mr. Buchanan, the Secretary of state, Mr. Fillmore, Mr. Marcy, and the Republican party. Iu support of these views the Republicans would resist the trausfer of Cuba to any other power, but not for the purpose expressed recently by the Senator from Georgia, to make the Gulf of Mexico a mere euclosure, where no flag could float without our permission. What, the United States make a mare clau sum of any Sea. The whole policy of the .Republic has been for the freedom of the seas. The war of '1812 was for that. The . U. S. opened up the meditteraueau by her war with the Algenrines. , For that the treaty was abrogated with regard to sound dues. The very purpose; of acquiring the Gulf is to prevent its becoming a closed sea. House. Mr.,- Adayer. :cf Mass., aid he would extend such a welcome to Oregon in-M to the tonfeiier&cy of States, as becomes our history, and magnanimity. At the last session, only six Republican Senators voted ogaiust the bill, and he never heard . that they attempted to read the other men out of the party. If the people of Oregon had done wronc, he would refer to the Xew England Pilgrims, who were also fanatical on some subjects. But like them, the Pilgrims of the Pacific , may yet become right with regard to the argument of the insuf(irency of population of Oregon; he asked did not the Republicans vote for the Topeka Constitution, with less than half the population in Kansas, than in Oregon. He claimed that the people in Oregon are above the average of the older States, in all the manly and virtuous characteristics. Mr. Hill, of Ga., rejoiced that the debate had not taken a sectional party turn. He w as opposed to the admission of Oregon, on the ground of insufficiency of population, and its alien suffrage.
Mr. J. B. Cochran, ;of -X. Y'., opposed the bill for the following reasons: ' '
1st that the admission ot Oregon would. be a DalDable infraction of the rule estab lished by this Congress, in the case of Kan sas, and ar unjust discrimination injiivor of Oregon.' - - " ..' - ; 2d, that the admission would be unjust to larger and older States, in respect to representatives in the Senate and House. c 3d, because of the atrocity sand needless barbarity of excluding free people of color from a residence, and from civil right. Mr. Case, of Indiana said that although there were-objectionable features in the Oregon constitution, he had made up bis mind to vote for the bill ' as the best- thing that could be done! : When he was a resident of Ohio, the -first vote he gave was for Joshua Giddings, when it was unpopular to be called an , anti-slavery jBanTThis was the best constitutum Oregon can get so long as it is under the iufluene'e of a rotten administration, which is a curse arid -a disgrace to the country:".-'-;; :;'' r'iii- . , - Mr. Bingham,""oT Ohio, said his opposition to the bill .rested on the great"priiiciples which apply to all territories, irrespective of latitude and political sentiment of the people. The constitution of Orogon contained a proposition to transfer the .' sovereignty of the people of the United States to tho hands of aliens, and under the federal law, citizens only can be punished for treason. Another objection was the exclusion of free negroes and , mulattoesj thus prescribing 180,000 citizens on account of their complexion, and violation, of all the public, law of the civil world by denying men judicial redress. Mr. English, of Indiana gave notice of bis intention to offer a : substitute for the amendment of his colleague.. Mr. Davis proposes to repeal the restriction clause in the Compromise bill relative to Kansas. Mr, English's substitute provides that no Territory shall hereafter be admitted as a State, unless it is previously ascertained by a census thit it has a sufficient population lor one Representative in. Congress, this fact being ascertained, steps shall be taken for the formation of the Constitution, and the State shall be admitted with or without slavery, as the Constitution':, may prescribe. All laws or parts of laws inconsistent with this act to be repealed. Mr. Sandidge of La. advocated the admission of Oregon. ,ne waa not surprised to hear Xorthern men claiming the power of Congress to regulate the right of suffrage in the States, but in reply to the gentleman from Georgia, Mr. Hill, he said he was advocating a doctrine dangerous to the South.' At 4 o'clock, there being an understanding that none but the Oregon question would bo discussed to-day, all, excepting about a dozen members, took their departure, and the galleries were soon nearly deserted. ' ' ; Mr. Howard of X. Y., made a speech in favor of the bill. : M r. Stephenson of Ky., opposed the bill. " Mr. Willson said formerly he had opposed the bill exclusively on the ground of insufficiency of population, and this objection now remained. Mr. Davis, Miss., spoke in favor of the bill. ' ; ;;;, ' ' ; ;-. ' " . . Mr. Gilman, of X. C, gave the reasons why he would vote .against the admission of Oregon. He was ehiefly opposed to the clause iH the consnitution, proscribing free negroes and mulattoea. The House then adjourned.' . i Xsw York, Feb 11 p. m.
