HOB. Robert Dale OWCB'I Lecture. Seldom, it ever, have the citizens of Terre-Haute hail the pleasure of iistning to a discourse so rich and bcuutilul, riuli in thought and beautiful in expression, as that, which was delivered by Mr. Owen before our ••Mechanics' Historical Society" on last Mondsy evening. Much as had been eipeeted from one, whose reputation for high literary attainments and aocompluhed scholarship preoedes him, wherever he may go, and whose character an*, writer, a speaker and a man of thought has long been established, as well without as within the limits ofourState, there was no one who heard him on this oocssion.but was surprised into exclamations of satisfaction and delight. IJi* subject "The Law of Progress deduced from History," admitting of great variety of argument and illustration, wis so clearly illuminated, and made to convey such wholesome truths, ay left for uo person fault to find with the manner of its treatment. It required but tho mind to follow the apeak er in his glance at tho state of Soci •iy in the earliest historical ages of the world and as it manifested itself even when Christianity, in name at least, had obtained a foothold in every part of Europe, and to note with him, the vigor with which the claims of the strong wore asserted over tbe weak, the eagerness, with which vengance was persued, and the unforgiving harshness, with which justice was meted out to the accused, to recognize, in the developing spirit of humanity, which has stripped war of many of its horrors,and abated the stern rigor of the law, the nature of tbst progress which brings peace to society and happiness to the families of men and to discover in many of the vices, which now haunt society unrebuked, the remains of that feeling, which tbe preaching ol

Did'at Redeem kii Pledfe. ID the 1'iat of the merabera of the Senate we perceive that the Senator from thia Pi»trict, Mr. MICHAEL COMBS, voted for the Whig candidate for the S. Senate. S. W. PJVker. Thia ia contrary to the many pledges which he made during the canvaas. to vote for a Democratic Senator, aa tbn District in which b# wan a candidate wan largely Democraiio. Tbu pledge he made repeatedly in Sullivan county, and it was by such pledges that bt* aecured tbe votes oi uiany unsutpeciiujj and confiding democrat* But he ha* violated it, and voted for the Whig candidate. Mr. Graham, the Whig representative from the largely Democratic county of Pike, voted for llort. Jon?t W. DAVIS, a* he had before been pledged to support a Democrat for that station, but our Senator, it appears, was not quite so conscientious. A most excellent lesson to those Democrats who were induced toaup port him in view of such promises.

Christi

anity for more thsn eighteen hundred years has not succeeded entirely in dissipating.— In every sentence of this beautiful address, there breathed a pure spirit of eloquence, deeply characteristic of feeling and of truth and of oil the numerous auditory in attendance* there was not one, to whose heart

%there did

not fu*h a thrill of sympathy, as

were depicted in glowing and noble word a the wrongs and suffering* of those, the victims of deceit, whom the world delights to scorn. Mr Owen speaks boldly of the vices ofsociety. Had we a few more such earnest speakers of the truth,that Progress would be accelerated, whose*law is Merov, Charity and Love.

The Clayton sad Balwer Treaty* The bungling manner in which General Taylor's cabinet transacted the affair* of tbe Government, is every dsy made more and more apparent, and the recent developments which have been made in the (J- 8 Senate in reference to the Clayton and Bui wer Treaty, as it is called, places the ex-,

Secretary of Stale in no very enviable position before the country. Whatever may have been the rights of the parties that treaty, before or after tbe signing of ft. it cannot be denied, we think, that the ing of** construction to it by tbe Government who negotiated it on our part was, to say the leaat of it, a foolish and unwarrantable procedure. If it was inteftA^s ,^at

not to interfere with rights which the British Government claimed in Honduras, why not have used auch terms in the treaty itself as would have left that matter clear upon tbe face of it. and not have rendered neceaaary the endorsement upon it of the Hon. Secretary's idea of

its

true meaning. Nothing

could have been eauier than to have done so. and then there could have been no doubt as to its true import, and the Senate would not have been called upon to ratify the intention of the Executive branch of Government, in a negotiation with a foreign Power, which did not appear clearly expressed in the instrument laid before them. The conduct of Mr. Clayton looks very foolish, at a first glance at the matter, and worse than foolish when we consider how easy it would have been to have had things otherwise and, we very much mistake, if the gentleman, whose name gives title and peculiar distinction to this treaty, can escape the suspicion that his desire to get it through the Senate caused him to act with some duplicity in the affair.

O* Co.fGREssio.NAL --It is impossible for us to cull anything of interest from the mats of Congressional reports before us. Special bills and matters of local and personal interest appear

Taylor, has been eleofed to the Senate from Delaware and has taken his seal in that body.,— Senator Upham ofVermont, died on the 16th inst., and the Senate adopted the usual resolutions. 14th inst., House—The bill to prevent frauds on the tressury, and prohibiting members of Congress and ofHcers of the General Government from prosecuting claims,.was passed—veas 134, nays 23. in the Senate Mr. Cass has introduced a joint resolution declaring that no part of the American continent is to be henceforth considered open to colonization to any European power and if such should be done the United States will feel themselves free to adopt such measures as may be necessary for maintaining its honor aUo, that the United States disclaims any design on Cuba inconsistent with the rights of Spain But they will regard any attempt by any other power to obtain Cuba by foroe or treaty as an unfriendly act, to be resented by the United States with all its forces.

Mr A. is i$ most excellent heslth and spirits, and has recovered from the effects of his arduous, exciting but triumphant Canvass. In the Illinois Legislature, last winter Mr. A. was the able defender, and Champion ol the Terre Haute and St. LouU Railroad.— We predict that anil higher honors await* him in his adopted State.

BARXBX'S LAST HUKBCU Messrs Beach and Barnum have lately issued flaming prospectuses of an unparalleled Mammouth Pictorial Newipaper. The greatest curiosity was fell for the appearance of the first No snd the press throughout the country had been psid for puffing the !hing in advance of it's issue. Well, the thing baa finally appeared. Two numbers of it have been issued. The first wss miserable beyond all precedent, the second immeasura bly worse. The '-numerous highly magnificent illustrations." with which its pages were to be decorated are worthless second hand wood cuts, and '.he reading mailer the most miserable trash.

(fCr The Editor of the Express intimates that the object of our recent visit to Indianapolis, was more in search of a partner than a place. True. We were after no office. »nd were but little solicitous about any who were. Like Wilkins Mioawber, we thought that ••something might turn up," and we would have been well satisfied had it been a woman.

Tho Cabiscb

Oar exchanges are filled with specula* lions in reference to the composition of Gen, Pierce's Cabinet. The Washington gossip seems just now to be most entirely confined to this subject, and the letter writers every day profess to give new light to tho public. Some of them asaert that the members of the cabinet have been all ready designated. We give to our readers the latest report.— They -may take it for whai it is worth. For ourselves if thf cabinet has been selected, we imagine Gen. Pierce has not yet taken into confidence any of the Waahington letter writers, and are therefore disposed to receive with some little incredulity tneir occular assertions. They now ha#e it that the State Department is to be filled by R. M. T. Hunter of Virginia—the Treasury by John Slidell of^Louisiana—the interior by Jease D- Bright of Indiana—tbe War by John A. Dix of New York—the Navy by Robert W. Johnson of Arkansas—the Post Office by Samuel Medary of Ohio, and that A. O. P. Nicholson of Tennessee is to be Attorney General. Of theae gentlemen, Messrs. Hunter and Bright are now in the Senate, and Mr.

Johnson

in the House of

Representatives. Messrs. Medary and Slidell have both represented their respective States in the lower, and Messrs. Nicholson snd Dix in the upper House of Congres"

He retains his mind, and his pen is busy in prose and poetry. Very few^ men in our country have produced such speeches and addresses as he delivered when a member of Congress.

O^T The Maine liquor law lares badly in the courts. The circuit oouri of the United States, in Rhode Island and in Maine have declared the laws of those States unconstitutional. The Legislature of New Hampshire, since the opinion of the supreme court of that State, has rejected the bill before it on the subject, and we believe, the Legislature of Vermont has also rejected a liko bill.

Louisiana Eleciiou.

At tho election fur State officers in Louisiana. on the last Monday two weeks. Paul O.

Pierce recei ved 150 innjoritv in the city, being a gain of eleven hundred since November.

(gj- As the New York Tribune Is ati orscle in many sections of "these parts," we sre glad to chronicle the fact that it is becoming quite democratic in its notions. In speaking of Gen. Cass' last great speech, that paper ssys: •We agree with him in desiring possession of Cuba, as a military position, essential to the protection of our commerce and io our self-defence in looking upon ita accession ss frsught with no danger to the permanence of our confederscy snd in depreciating every movement for obtaining that ot'ject. partaking in the slightest degree of i« justice or violence, and not confermahle in the strictist sense «r the law of nations. And we believe he speaks the voice of the whole people when he declares it to be the duty of this government to resist every attempt on the part of any foreign power to gower such a foothold in any p«rt of this continent as to enable them to check our national progress or interfere with the free development of our resources and other power. •Questions of this kind are destined ere long to hold a much more prominent place in our political discussion* than they hav«» dune hitherto.

I have a letter from Mr. King. Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations, written the day of the exchange of ratification of the British 1 reaty the 19th of April, 1850. atating in the very words of my letter to Sir H. Bulwer, what the Senate perfectly understood, thai the treaty did not include British Honduras My letters show my intention throughout the negotistion to leave the question as the treaty leaves it not denying nor affirming the British title to Honduras.

The British title to Central American States was recognized by President Polk in sending a Consul, Christopher Hempsted who remained in British Honduras under the protection of the British Government, nearly three years, till I recalled him to prevent the possibility of any charge against President Taylor's Administration of having recognized English authority in British Honduras.

I shall there&re say to him in effect that such construction was not in the contemplation of the negotiators or the Senate at the time of confirmation.— May 1 have your permission to add that the iruo understanding was explained by you as Chairman of Foreign Relations to the Senate before the vste was taken on the Treaty?
