Debate in the Senate, On the nomination of Mr Van Buren. REMARKS OF MR. CLAY. But the late Secretary of State, the p pointed organ of the American People to vindicate their rights with all foreign powers, and to expose the injustice of any unfounded demands which thev might assert, was not con

tent with exerting his ingenuity to put tits own country in the wrong and the T-::,!- i t 1 . ouiiMi Koverumcnt in xne ncut. lie endeavoured to attach to the late Administration lor discredit bringing for ward pretention, and by disclosing them, to propitiate the .favor of the British king, lie says that the. views ofthe present Administration, upon the subject of the colonial tfaei "have been submitted to the people of the United States, and counsels by which ;our conduct is now directed, and the result of the judgment expressed by the only earthly tribunal to which the late Administration was amencablo for its acts. It should be sufficient that the e'laimessetup by than and which eaus ed the interruption of the trade in ques tion have been explicitly abandoned bv those who first asserted them, and are not revivived by their successor, The late Secretary of State, the gentlemen under considaraliori, here makes the statement that the late administatioh were iho fint to set up the claim to which the refers. Now, under all the high responsibility. which belong to the seat which I occupy. I deliber ately pronounce that this statement is untrue: and that the late Secretary ci pher must have known it to be untrue, or he was culpably negligent of his dutv in ascertaining what had been done under prior administrations I repeat the cha rgc the statement must have been known to be untrue, or there was culpable negligence. If it were material, I believe it could be shown :hat the claim in qucstion-the right to ihc admission into the British West Indies of the produce if the United States upon an equal fooling w ith .similar produce of the British continental clonics is coeval with the existence .f our present constitutions; and that whenever the occasion arose for asserting the claim, it was asserted. B.it I shail go no further back than to ?Ir. Madison's administration. Mr. Monroe, ths then Secretary of Slate, iniictcdour Minister at X. bad on, upon this subject; be r.-goiiatca1 with Lord Castlcrcagh in respect to it, and this very claim prevented an :tJ juStthcnl, a? th:.. time of the colonial question, li v. a-iin brought forward under Mr. ;e s ad:"r.i:usr:-;'jo:v. wiicn .Mr. It ch wr.s our Minister at London. I fc opened along and protracted notretiatlr.n upon this and other (epics Inch Mas susr rt,;,: in the suaiiner of 1S2I. principally because the panic? eoakl i.ot nsrree e:i nn v safisinctarv arranac me.nt of his very colonial qscsiio;i. Thus at Ic its two rdrniiistrat&ns prior totbr.tot Mr. Adams, had brought Secretary of State, th-c oilirial defQiuler of the rights of the American people, preferred anainst bis own covernnienl o. as that ot "omitting to accept the terms offered by the act of Parliament of July. ISio after the subject h id been brought before toncress. and deliberately acied upon by our gov-J emment vevcr was tb.ere a nu unfounded charge brougiit forwatd by any native against his own government 'and never was there a more uuwarranted apology ct up for a foreign government; a:;d a plain historical narrative will demoystrate vhe truth of hot) thoc propositions. t . It has been already slated that, the negotiation of M r. Rush, embracing the precise colonial-claim ufceler consideration,' was" -suspended in IS'2 1, with an understanding between the

sutned on nu points, at some lumrel comenetH. pcrsoa. junv in juiv. IS2.3, neither government liaung then proposed a- rtiumption of ihe negotiation, "the Brittish Parliament passed ai; act to regulate the colonial trade w ith fc reiirn powers. This was never, dnCTl . ring the late admiiiistraiion, either at London or W ashington, officially tornmunicatcd by the british to the American government; and we only obtained it through other channels, now, if it had been the purpose rf , the British government, by the passage of that acf, to withdraw thecoloniel question from hc'ncgotialion,it ought to have rommunicated that purpose to this government,: and, at" the sanic time, the act of Parliament, as stipulating andj subristingthe negotiation. But it r,ev-i r did communicate such purpose., The ac. itself did not specifically rnv Srace;t!ie United States, ar.d offered i ;erm- which, upon the face of the net ' was irr.poiriMc for the t inted Sia!

to accede to. It required, for example,

in.it to entitle rowers, not possessing colonic?, to the benetit of the act, they must place the navigation nnd com merce ot vreat bntam upon the tooting of the most favored nation. To have dont this, Wuuld have admitted Brittish shinning to import into the United States, on the same conditions with native shipping, the productions of Any quarter of the globe, without a reciprocal liberty on the part of the shipping t f the United State in British ports. The act itself was different ly construed in diiTcnt coloniol ports of lreat lintain; and art order of the local government of Halifax, closing that part of agnins our vessels from the 5lh of January, was subsequently revoked; thcicby confirming the impression thit th eact of Parliament was not intended to dispense with the previous negotiation. And, to couclude this part of the narrative, as late as the 20th October, lS20,Mr. Vaughantho British Minister, upon being interrogated by the then Secretary of State, was totally uninstructed to afford any information as to the meaning or intent of the act of July, IS25. Meantime, in March; 1S2G, more than six months after the passage of the act of Parliament, Mr. Yaughan noti fied the Department of State, that he "received instructions from his Majcs- ' tv s vovemmentto acquaint vou that " it is preparing to proceed to the imporfmt negotiations between that 44 country and the U. States now pla44 ced iu the hands of the American AlJn-;:nr in I ninlrin " i 'The negotiations will therefore be forthwith resumed.'' Here the negotiations were spoken of, without the expectation of the colonic! question, the most important ef them If it had been intended to withdraw that, no time could have been more suitable to announce that intention; but no annunciation was made. Mr. Vaughan was informed that wc also wcuid prepare for tha negotiation, (including, of course, the colonial question,) and Air. Gallatin was according ly shortly after sent out with full pow ers and instructions amicably to settle that question. On his arrival in England, in the summer of 1820, he was hdJ by the British government that they wovd J not negotiate on the colonial question; that they had made up l'jir mind froea the ptissageof the act of July, tS'23. dot to negotiate about it: ae l ho wa informed by the sarcas tic Mr. Canning, that as wc hHd failed to accept,theBOOX, which the britssh government had then ofliied, we were then too late! Such is the state of the case on which the late Secretary of State so aulhoritivoly v.ronounces judgment against his own government for omitting to ac44 ceptthe terms offered by the act of Parliament of July '1825V' lie adds 44 indeed, after the subject had been 44 brought before Congress, and deliberately acted upon by our government.' It, was brought befure Congress in the session ol ic2j-1 not at tue mstanc ed that if the bill proposed by that gentleman had been passed it would have been unsatisfactory to the British government. . I have another objection to this nomination. 1 believe, upon circumstances which satisfy my mind, that to this gentleman is principally to hi ascribed .Urn introduction of the odious system ct proscription lor ttie exercise of the elective franchise, in -the government of the U. Slates. I understand that it is the system on which the party in Jiis own" state, ot which he is the reputed bcad.corlantly acts. lie was among the first of the Secretaries to apply that system to the dismission cf Clerks in this department known t me to be highly meritorious, and among them one who is how a Representative in the other I louse It is a detestable sj stem drawn from the worst period of the RoRepublic; and if it were to be pcrpetaalcd; t tue otucers, honors, and digs.ities of the people were to be put dp to a scramble, to be decided to the result of every Presidential eleciion. our government t and institutions, becoming intolerable would finally cud in a despotism as inexorable as that .at Constantinople.. . , . , t ; Sir, the nctessity under which ...we arc. placetl is painful.. But it is no fault of the Senate, whosejepnsent and advice arc required' by the(x)nstituliMi to consummate this5 appointment that the Minister has been sent .out dfj tbe Ur-.iled States withont tbejr concurer.ee. r I hope - that the public will not be prejudiced, b his rejection, if he should ,bd rejected. And d feel perfectly assured that, if, the government to which he has been deputed shall loam that it has bech rejected because be has there, by his Instruct ions to Mr. Mcl.nnr;, sfiiicd thfc character of our country will creatly out weiuh any adj.va'dae ( be derived from his nego-

Our doors and windows are well blocked up with heavy good?, & we may expect the worst. Many soldiers and officers from the other party hare come over to cur side. Our confidence is in the good General Santa Anna remains unshaken."' , - Thuswill our readers prcceive that the horrors of civil war are by this lime, deforming the abrdtf of t he younger born of freedom in America. This conduct of the-Vera Cruzians, how ever, is only turning the tables on the faction of Jalana. Doubtful as the sequel may be, the remonstrance of! era Cruz may yet be the echo cf animadversioh. And if they, who have promulgated that: protest against the ministry succeed id their undertaking., they shall be honored as heroes, and blessed with the gratitude cf their country. .

They want order and peace -bat peace grounded on the majesty of the laws and the constitution' not peace lapped in the folds of tyrannynot peace such as is to be fotfnd in Tur key, in Russia, or in Spain hot peace which is the Consequence of pnbied energy. On the whole, the gallant inhabitants of VeraCruz seem determined to stand the hazzard of the lcarucr. The papers breathe a strain of enthusiasm, which is an earnest of th? daring and resolution, which they, will throw in the defense of their household against the phalanxes of a despotic ministry. Col Alvarez, the partisan chief, who hasbceen for a long time, in the South of Mcxicon,at the head of four thousand men, and whom the ministry ;havc been attempting to represent as reduced to subordination, has issued a pro clamation to the inhabitants of the south, and declared in favor of Gen eral Santa Anna's movement.
