In the approaching Convention of the
State of New York, the Liberty Party are
anxious to secure the right of suffrage t0
eople of color. The pttempt ‘to accom-
plish this object by voting for Liberty can-
didates is acknowledged to be utterly hope-
]ess. But Gerrett Smith insists upon vo-
ting for no other. Alvan Stewart, how-
ever, seems to have 29 lucid interval about
abolition-ism, as will appear from the fol-
lowing extract of a letter written by him
upon this subject‘ .' ' _ '
“But for us to notninate candidates and
elect none, and set every bcidy at defiance,
and encourage the old parties to roll -on
in their old tracks and unman the colored
man of New York by robbing him of his
vote, during this generation, is a load I
must bear ifGod so will it, butl will leave
no stone unturned to prevent so calamit-
ous and terrible an event, and its sin shall
not be on my head.
But it is said, that a man who is not a
Liberty man has a moral inaptitude to act
in the cause of humanity, because he is a
member of a pro-slavely party, and there-
fore should not receive.our vote; for he
can do no good thing which we can re-
cognize and ratify—'while others'say we
cannot vote for him as a delegate in Con-
vention, though we know he will vote for
every thing in Conventoin, the best Liber-
ty man in the State would vote for,‘if a
delegate; and though we know that, in
consequence of our refusal to give him our
vote he would lose his seat, and an anti
sufl'-rage man be elected, and the 8,000 or
10,000 colored citizens of this State and
their sons, are to be trodden voteless, for
this entire generation. ~ I cannot subscribe
to this dreadful strange doctrine.
But s-up-pose, for want of our votes "at
the polls, true pledged men for colored
suffrage, could not be elected, and with
our votes would have been, and the color-
ed man has lost the golden prize, and is
to suffer on beneath the proud man’s con-
tumely and the- fool’s reproach, until
another half century is come and gone.~
How stand we then ll’
\Vhy could not Mr. Stewart have ren-
soned thus forcibly about the annexation
of Texas, a subject of inconceivably more
consequence to the great cause of human
freedom in this nation and throughout the
habitual globe- Did not Alvan Stewart
know that Birney could not be elected in
the last Presidential campaign, and did he
not know that every Vlfhig vote cast for
him increased the chance of electing a
man who headed the whole slavery power
of the Union. in opposition to a party
which comprised all the elements of re-
sistance which could stand in successful
array against it’l Why pursue the empty
phantom ofabolitionism in abandonment of
the impulses ofcommon humanity towards
the sufferings of the slaves whose bonds,
by the Texas villainy, are made ten times
stronger than ever! If Alvan Stewart isa
true and fast friends of the black man,how
lacerated must. his conscience be when he
reflects that the most terrible and lasting
calamity ‘whi.-h has ‘ever overtaken the
colored race in this country, extinguishincr
all the hopes of emancipation for at least
a half a century to come, has arisen from
the bigotry and infatuation of which he
-now complains,of setting up candidates
and electing none, and thus securing the
triumph of the sworn and avowed foes of
human freedom. I
In another respect the course now pur-
sued by Mr. Stewart is worthy of notice.

Thefirst business of any importance
was the report from the Committee ap-
pointed to take in.o consideration the
charges made in the Times of this city.
Mr. Benton walked into the Clerk’s desk
and read the Report himself as he had
written it. The charges in the Times, the
Report pronounces as utterly false. It
says that they are false and contemptible
libels——thnt some of them are despicable,
false and vulgar. The Editor, H. H.Rob-
inson,recently of Cincinnati,acknowlcdges
that he wrote the article complained of and
that he has no knowledge of their truthl l
The report concludesthztt no farther no-
tice begtalten of the matter but that the
Reporters and Editors of the paper be ex-
cluded from the Re’porte-rs’ Gallery.
Some discussion arose between Messrs.
Dickinson and Berrien whether the Repor-
ters should be excluded. Mr Dickinson
very properly suggestetl that this should
not be done. The matter was finally laid
over till to morrow, the Senate simply
ordering the Report and accompanying
apers to be printed. _
The special order of the day was then
brought up, and Mr. Calhoun addressed
the Senate about an hour and a half. lie
was formerly opposed to the Notice, but
things were totally altered since the be-
ginning of the session. Compromise
would now be made a'most certainly. If
the British Government should renew ne-
gotiation, the thing would be settled, in
his opinion, substantially on the basis last
offered by our Government. libero would
be no impediment in accepting that offer.

The voice of the country had been heard
——It gathered strength every day, and it
was clearly “compromise.” A majority in
this body—a very large one, was for com-
romise.
"he remarks of Sir Robert Peel did not
imply censure on the faithful and able
Minister here. It meant to give intensity
to his opinion that the matter should and
would be fairly and amicably settled——
substantially on the basis of 49°.
The question was now no longer one of
Peace or “far, but a question of time. He
wished the question settled without delay,
before another Presidential campaign. He
was opposed to the House notice. He
might vote for the proposition of Mr.
Colquitt.
’ He still thought that “masterly inactiv-
ity” would have been the best course, but
the action of others had precipated the
matter, and he hoped the matter would
now be settled and honorably settled. l

TUESDAY, March 17.
The S1E.\‘A'rE was engaged during the
morning hour with miscellaneous business,
ties is not necessarily pro-slavery. This
false principle has been twice abandoned
by abolitionists in supporting John Quin-
cy Adams to fight the battles of freedom
in Congress, and should they relinquish it
altogether, and support the Whig party,
the extermination ofslavery would be much
more certain- There never has been a
time within ‘20 years when the Whig party
has not been essentially anti slavery, and
there never was a time when ,the loco
party was so radically and necessarily
pro slavery as at the present moment.
Beside, there never can be permanently
in any great force but two parties in this
country. Under whatever name they en-
roll themselves, one will embrace the prin-
ciples of the whigs, and the other the no-
principles of the locofocos. The whigs of
the north, except some in our commercial
cities under the influence of cotton plan-
ters, are anti slavery, and even the whigs
of the South are much more attachad to
the principlesofl impartial freedom than
even the loeofocos of the ' north. The
power, however, of the wing party has
been seriously weakened by the withdraw-
al of a portion-in the formation of the Lib-
erty party, which enabled their opppnems
to annex Texas.
\Vi:ll- not our liberty party man be at last
cerrvinced of the truth of the position we
take’! VVill they, by keeping up a. third
party organization, forev-or prevent the ac-
complishment oftheir professed purposes’!
Is not the influence of the-wliig party to
abolish slavery constantly baffled by this
third party organization, and do not the
slaveocratic despots for silencing every
eloquent voice of the advocates of free-
dom in Delaware, Maryland, Kentucky
“and Virginia from the exasperation and
fear of insurrection with which the mad
dog cry of “man ster1lers,dea.lcrs in fies/L
and'bl‘ood,” unitedwith calls foriminediate
and unconditional emancipation,and.threats
of trampling upon the Constitution and the
-Union-,. are-so constantly, and so intensely
horrifying the public mind.
It will» be acknowledged that one great
battle has been fought and lost by this in-
fat'uated.po-licy.. But-another mighty strug-
gle between slavery,‘ and freedom is ap-
proaching,.an-d-' what a- dreadful‘ responsi-
bility rests upon the third party should they
in—184«8 again prefer to sustain an ambi-
tious and'irn'potent organization, to-av co-

with the hope of at last ex-terminating the
among which was the ordering of 5,000
extra copies of the Report read by Mr.
Benton yesterday on the Times newspa-
per, for general circulation.
The special order of the day was then
taken up and Mr. Berrien addressed the
Senate at length on Oregon. . He was,
very severe upon those who tried to bring’
Party dictation into the Senate. He hoped
this Senate would continue to be a delib-
erative body in place of one merely to
register the edicts of a Party or an Exec-
uttve.
The talk about o_ur title being clear and
unquestionable was nonscnse—neither na-
tion had a clear title, but we had claims
which if properly prosecuted might result
in our occupying a large share of that Ter-
tory. If it was necessary to tell these
truthsiutbe ear of our enemi..s he would
not be deterred from this course bv
popular clamor. '
He then proceeded to discuss two prop-
ositions: 1. \Ve have of our own accord
limited our claims to a certain portion of
territory; and 2. This limitation is con-
curred in by all who have examined the
different titles under which our claims are
set up. These points he examined at
length, quoting from State papers to sus-
tain them. ‘
He was opposed to the Notice. But he
would cheerfully vote for the proposition
of Mr. Colquitt, as amended, but wheth-
c'r he would vote for the resolution as
men amended he had not made up his
mind. ' ‘

A remarkable notice was given by Mr
Alleh, in the Senate this morning, as
Chairman of the Committee on Foreign
Affairs, to wit:
That on Monday next, as soon as the
morning business was disposed of, he
would ask the Senate to go into Executive
session upon a most important subject,
which demanded immediate attention, and
would perhaps occupy four or five days.
Some suppose that this matter relates to
Mexico; others, that it has some connec-
tion with our relation with Great Britain.
A Resolution was offered to carry into
efllct the Rciommendotion of the Report
of the Committee of Investigation, for the
exclusion of the editors,propriefors and re-
porters of the Times, from the Senate
gallery. _
The Vice Presidrnt stated that he had
already given that order.
The Oregon question was taken up, and
hlr. Niles spoke at length in favor of an
absolute and unqualified notice, as a dig-
nified, appropriate and peaceful measure.
He also supported the President in his
course on this subject, and was in favor of
compromise on -1-9.
The Senate adjourned overtill Monday.
In the House, the River and Harbor bill
was taken up, and under the new rule the
House proceeded to take the question up-
on the several items, in succession, which
isa tedious business. The House did not
get through with the labor.
The SENATE was not in session on Friday,_
and the proceedings of the HOUSE were uninter-
esting, the time being occupicd in taking the
ycas and nays on the various items of the Harbor
and River appropriation bill. This bill passed
to a third reading by a vote of 110 to 91.
So opposed are the So. Carolina members to
the principles of internal improvement, that
they voted against an appropriation for Charles-
ton.
Neither House was in session on Saturday.
Dr. Ambrose Barber, an old and highly
esteemed physician of Macon, Ga. (lied on

dose composed in part of Prussic acid, to
be administered to a patient. The_ drug-
gist sent the medicine, with a message that
whoever took it would be killed. The pa-
tient thereupon refused to take it,when the
Doctor to convince him that there was no
danger, swallowed it himself. He died
in half an hour. The prescription was
copied exactly from a medical work, but
on account of a typograhical blunder, the
quantity of Prussic acid was eight times
greater than it should have been.
The Whigs brought out t/mt gun, yester-
day morning (l8th) and gave a round of
twenty-eight in honor of the recent tri-
umph in New Hampshire. The news of
this triumph has diffused a general joy
through the ranks of frccmen, even we
presume including some of the Locofoco
party themselves. For some of them have
thought the party domination was sustain-
ed with rather too strong hand, even for
New Hampshire. Suffice it is to say, that
the \Vhigs and liberal men among all par-
ties are rejoicing in the overthrow of the
party tyranuy.—Hart. Couram‘.

“wort/L of Propcrl_z/ 1)es'ro_:/rd .’—- Buffalo was
visited by a fearful calamity. The ice in
the Creek gave way, and came down like
a perfect avalanche, carrying every thing
before it! Between the foot of Main st.
and the Lake there were some fifteeen or:
twenty Canal Boats, every one of which
had disappeared, no one knew whither, but
it is supposed, were jammed together be-
tween the steauiboats, and completely de-
molished. The steamers Unitéd States,
Wisconsin, Chatauque, Frankfort, Indian
Queen, and two or three others, are great-
ly injured. The Chataque had the upper
works entirely carried away and torn to
pices. Every steamboat lying in the creek
was more or less injured, except the. Clio-
ton and Indiana. The Rochester broke
two cables and dashed down the Creek with
fearful velocity,carrying every thing before
her, staving in a portion of the dock, and
now lies partly under the clock. The in-
jury done to this steamer alone it is said,
willamount to several thousand dollars.
About twenty schooucrs were lying in the
Creek, and every one of them has been
greatly damaged; some completely dc-
molished.
The steamer Dole went down the stream
about forty rods, stove in a portion of her
hull, and sunk.
The propellors lying in the creek were
all badly injured, some of them damaged
to a considerable amount. <-
It was generally supposed when our in-
formant left, that there were a considera-
ble number of individuals on board of the
canal boats, which have disappeared. If
so, the loss of life on board these and the
steamers, must be great.
Of course it is impossible to'estimate,
with any degree of accuracy, the damage
done, but it is supposed to be not less
than One Hundred Thousand Dollars!
During one of the many assuagements
of the flood on Sunday, a hardy Irish-
woman emerged from a wooden tenement
in \Vnter sf., and with an infant under one
arm and a pig under the other, waded out
into Columbia st., having saved, as she
said, her a hole family from a watery
grave! It was difficult to tell which baby
squealed the loudest, and for the matter of
that, indeed, it was no easy thing to de-
termine which waspig and which was in-

ane of the greatest battles ever fought by the G0,-emon
the British in our Indian Empire, in which
we have sustained the known loss of 3,300
of our brave soldiers, included the gallant
Sale, Sir J. M Kaskell, and Major Broad-
foot. VVhen these accounts left the scene
of action for Bombay, for transmission to
England, there were several regiments
from which returns had not been received,
so that afurthcr loss may be calculated’
upon.
A fierce conflict ensued, in which the
Sikhs lost the artillery attached to their
division, in number 17 guns. It was in
this stage of the battle that Sir Robert Sale
and Gen. M’Caskill fell. The contest pro-

New Haven Palladium of Friday last, that his
Honor, Judge \Vood, of the County Court, do-
cidod, in a case pending before the County
Court, for an infraction of the License Law
passed at the last session of the Legislature,
that this case and all others of a similar
nature, must he continued, until a decisionis
had in the Massachusetts License case, now
pending before the Supreme Court of the United:
States at '\Vasl1ington. This is an important
decision, as it virtually suspends the law in this
County, probably for a year or more.

At Ferozeshar the invaders had prepar-

stood prepared to defend with 100 pieces
of their huge artillery, and 60,000 men.—
Imagination can scarcely depict the fury
and the obstinacy of the two day‘s fight
that preceded the capture of the invaders’
camp, with all its material: and artillery,
and. the utter dispersion of the invading
army on the 22d of December.
