the power of originating the laws Jrtor
mediate branches he believed to be VAIN
abiein legiilation in this he admired :,
) in mott other things, the wiEdom Of ri.
ance'tors. He conceived the .lcca! atas rs
this Legislature would leldom or rever be
CONTRIBUTED: bat even if they might, i
could not be an argument why the laws
ihon!d not come out as pure as rollible.
and lcls liable to controui.
Mr. Iazewell thought there were check,
enough to the proceedings Of the honie Of
representatives without the fuperintendance
OF a tenate. There was their own terr;to
rial goyernor--the-houte Of repreien.atiyes
OF the United States-tte fenate of ths
United States-and the PRECEDENT Of the
United States-if thefe were not ,cIecks
enough it was FRANCE. He could not per
ceive the analogy between this and a tate
government, the latter having TO checks
OF the general government.
Mr.. Bird regarded the .srowers of this
bocy,, and not the verbal definition Of If.
Whether it was called corpoa.ioncruo,
was OF little moment. He conceived them
clothed withPowers which, if not checked
by the general government, were as large
asthe wants'of the people required, ard
as poftive law Of the union could onIy
repeal them, they ought to be rrepssed;a
as rietui a term as thofe Of any fate. The
experiment, he faid, was fettled in the prac-
tice OF all Legislative bodies, that twobo-
dies were better than one, 70 far that no
arguments whatever could ihakc it.
The motion was negatived.
MIR. Macon then moved to itrike out, and
irfert 70 as that the people might .clcole
the fenators.
Mr.. LivingRon faid it appcared7to him
that the committee had carried their adrni-
ration Of the contributions to wonderful
extreme. fla good thing could ever BE
admired too much, it was admirably done
in the pre{snt innance. The contribution
of the United States adapted to the won
derful and Aupendous government Of a
large difrid Of ten miles iquare!
MIR. Cra.k. IT'S not the eonaitu,ion-
al proyifion merely,-it is the practice Of
the government of Maryland.
Mr.. Livingston. Now, fir, the gentle
man tells the houfe it is not the conHitutl-
on, but the practice of this fate. Gentle
men from various parts Of the houie, have
told US that the model of the contribution
was followed in this bill, ard that its parts
were drawn from that admirable inttru.
ment, as the mott adopted to the fate and
fecurity of the federal government. what

Mr.. Dennis was convinced thar this le.
giilature was not confined to 70 GnaII A
portion of buineis as gentlemen appeared
to imagine. He did NOT believe that when
they had made the laws of Virginia and
Mary land, the REFLECTIVE BATS of this ter
rltorial government, they had Gone 70 much
as they thought was done. From an in
veHigation, it would be found that the ge-
neral lntereits of the people and the legal
Junidietion OF their concerns were not
very important. Whether the people were.
10000 or 100000, due proportion of
attention was due to their interefs, and
nearly the fame locations for legal proyif-
ons would arife. He believed the neceiEty
tor ienate here would be as great as in
any tate whatever. They would have to
reviie and accommodate the codes of the
two itates to their local ftuation. Altho'
congreis could repeal the laws, he believed
1t would be for the interef Of the people
to have them pahed with equal care and
due form, which could not be done With
out asienate.
ne chairman tslr. Rutledge) two or
three times reminded the member of order,
reminding him of the quefion, upon which
he Fat down.
MIR. Craik faid he role with fome re-
luetance, fince the 'quefion of order had
confined him to fuch extreme limits he
knew not how to proceed, to difcufs his
point, towit: to thew the neceffity of this
ienate, as component part of the legifla-
ture, IT ne was not to proceed to thew the
butineis with which they were to be charg-
ed. He thought this branch of the legif-
iature as uieful check upon theSproceed-
ings OF the Legislature, as the fenate of the
union were upon that houie, in its pro-
portion. He believed farther, that tho
1t was true their laws were fubjeef to re-
wilton, iuch difference would be paid TO
them, as that there would very rarely, if
ever, be any alteration or repeal of them
by the general Legislature.

DREADFUL ACCIDENT.
The Baltimore Bcllona powder mill, on
Jooes's Fails, about miles from town belong
ing 70 a company Of gentlemen Of this city,
blew up the night before lat, by which accident
three men who were working in the mill were
fhockir gy crippled, the life of one Of whom is
delpaired Of.
The catastrophe lTappeaed about nine O'Clock
at night and, as near as We can learn, was
cauied by one Of the workr1en taking the burn
ing louff Of a lamp wick 10 his fingers and find
ing it rather hot, threw it hAaily and inadver-
tertly into heap Of about 900 weight of pow.
der then undergoing its operation 10 the mill.
The exploIion was instantaneous the houfe, 20
by 10 feet, with every atom in it, was mounted
in the air. Of the roof, not veaage can be
found and the walls, which were of mafy
Gone, are levelled with the ground. The man
who was leaft injured fays, the fri place he
found himlelf in, after the return of his ienfes,
was the mill race, without knowing, for while,
what could have Placed him there.
