Proceedings of Congress.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE UNITED STATES.
Tuesday, January 26.
In support of the motion, it was observed, that as no appointments could be made but by and with the advice of the Senate and no treaties could be formed without their concurrence, it appeared incongruous, that they should have no voice in determining the salaries of persons, whom they might appoint to make treaties, or to carry on the intercourse between the United States and foreign nations.
Mr. Lee varied his motion, so as to affect the allowances to be made to foreign ministers, that they should be apportioned by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, not to exceed the sum specified in the bill.
The debate was continued after the variation of the motion: and the arguments, drawn from the concurrent power of the Senate in all the appointments, treaties, and connections respecting foreign nations, it was contended, equally affected the business in every possible shape and modification of it.
On the other hand, it was contended that the intercourse with foreign nations was a trust specially committed to the President of the United States: and after the legislature had made the necessary provision to enable him to discharge that trust, the manner how it should be executed must rest with him. His responsibility for the execution of it to the best of his judgment, was a sufficient security nor could the Senate be associated with him in the discharge of this trust, with any more propriety than a committee of the house the amendment as then stated would induce an improper interference, in points which must depend on contingencies, and these enter into the very nature of the trust.
On motion of Mr. Livermore, the committee rose; reported progress, and asked leave to sit again.
Thursday, January 28.
Mr. Burke presented to the house a motion, that it be an instruction to the committee appointed to bring in a bill for encouraging manufactures, to add a clause respecting the securing to inventors the right to their discoveries. That was agreed to.
Friday, January 29.
A message from the senate was received by their secretary, informing the house that the senate had passed a bill for the punishment of certain crimes against the United States in which they requested the concurrence of the house. He then delivered the bill, and withdrew.
Mr. Sedgwick, after some introductory observations relative to the power of Congress to regulate the exports of the united states, proposed the following resolution, viz:
That a committee be appointed to bring in a bill or bills to encourage the exports of the united states, and to guard against frauds in the same. Laid on the table.
Monday, February 1.
A message was received by Mr. Lear from the President of the United States, communicating a letter from his excellency Alexander Martin, governor of North Carolina, which enclosed an act of their legislature, ceding certain lands therein mentioned, on condition of being exempt from the expenses attending the late war, and provided that no act of Congress shall be made to emancipate slaves in that state.
Tuesday, February 2.
Mr. Foster, from the committee to whom was committed the bill for the actual enumeration of the inhabitants of
the United States, brought in said bill with amendments.
The bill, after going through several amendments, was ordered to be engrossed, and read the third time to-morrow.
Wednesday, February 3.
The house went into a committee of the whole on the bill to establish an uniform system of naturalization, and after considerable debate about the requisite length of residence of an alien before he should be admitted to the privileges of a citizenship, the committee rose without coming to any determination, and the house adjourned.
Thursday, February 4.
The bill, for establishing an uniform system of naturalization, was again taken into consideration, by the committee of the whole.
A motion, made yesterday, for striking out from the bill "and shall have resided within the United States for one whole year" was resumed.
Mr. Stone was in favor of extending the previous time of residence to four or seven years.
Mr. Jackson suggested the propriety of a term of probation, and a recommendation from the grand jury of the district before foreigners should be admitted to the rights of citizenship. He wished that such guards might be provided, as would prevent the privilege from being bestowed on unworthy objects: for he hoped the time was nigh at hand when it would be deemed as honorable to be a citizen of the united states, as it formerly was to be a citizen of Rome, when she was mistress of the world.
Mr. Laurence observed, that as the united states contained vast tracts of uncultivated territory, it was their interest to have it settled with industrious citizens: and as such citizens were to be obtained by emigration, it became the duty of government to hold out every encouragement, they therefore ought not to make their terms of admission difficult.
Mr. Huntington said that the terms of the bill were indefinite that it required the emigrant to take an oath, that he intended to reside in the united states but how long and for what purpose were not ascertained in the law. He might determine to reside here till he accomplished a particular object, and might go into the most obscure part of the union to take his oath. The community would not be benefited by such emigrants, and therefore ought not to admit them to the privileges of citizens.
The mode of naturalization, said he, pointed out by this bill, is much too easy. In the state to which I belong, no persons can be naturalized, but by an act of the legislature; the same is the case in several of the other states, as in England, and I never knew a good inhabitant, who wished to be admitted to the rights of citizenship, that did not find this mode sufficiently easy.
The term that the emigrant should reside, ought to be long enough to give an opportunity to acquire a knowledge of the principles of the government, and of those who are most proper to administer it: otherwise he cannot exercise his privilege to the advantage of himself, or the community. He wished therefore that the clause might be amended in such a way, as to leave the naturalization of foreigners to the state legislatures.

LEXINGTON, June 21.
One of two spies, that were out of Woodford county, returned on Thursday evening last to Colo Johnsons, he informs that in the neighbourhood of the big bone lick he and the other that was with him fell on the trail of six Indians, they followed them some distance and coming within gunshot, fired on them: Four of the Indians
immediately returned the fire, and they all pursued the spies, after running some distance, one of the spies fell behind, and the Indians came up with him, and firing two guns, set up the scalp hoop, the other was closely pursued but made his escape; it is believed the other was killed.
About the tenth instant two men went to watch a deer lick on Cox's creek, they had not been long there, before they discovered an Indian coming up the creek toward them, they both made ready, and as soon as he came near enough, fired on him and killed him dead on the spot.
A N E C D O T E.
A RECRUITING officer, during the late war, had orders, not to remain more than three days in a place; he being somewhat profane, was told by a gentleman present, that for such wickedness he would certainly go to Hell — how long shall I stay there (replied the officer) to all eternity returned the other, that is wrong resumed the son of Mars, for I have Gen. Washington's orders not to remain more than three days in a place.
