Mr.. Gal!atin iaid, that although he did
not mean to renew at this time the difcuf-
fon Of the conftitutionality of the law, yet
he could not but notice the argument Of
the gentleman from Delaware on that lub-
jet. He tells us that this law is confi-
tutional, becauie it is heceAary in oder to
carry into effect the powers veleed by the
contribution in the general government, in
order to punifh certain offences which, un-
-lels the law had paaed, would have en-
dangered government itfelf. And yet he
afures us, that tho1e identical offences
might have conititutionally been punifhed
by the common law, although the law had
not paaed. Indeed the arguments on the
expediency of the meafure were nearly e.
milar. In 1898 the law was neceGary,
either as part Of the general yiten Of de-
fence againtt foreign invaiion, or in order
to curb the Gcentioufneis of the preis.-
Now it is neceaary, in order to prevent
the provifons ofthe common law encroach-
ing on the liberty of the prels.
1t was principally in order to contro
vert that petition, viz. that the offences
defined by the fedition law, or libcls a.
gainii government were, even if o law
lad paiicd on the fubje6, punifhable by
the Judiciary ofthe U. States, that Mr.. G.
had riien. The powers of the judiciary
were expressly defined by the contribution
in the following words: !" The judicial
power fhall extend to all cafes in law and
equity, arifing under the contribution, the
| laws Of the United States, and treaties
made, or which fhall be made under their
authority; to all cafes affecting ambana-
doris, other public miniiters and confuls
TO all cafes of admiralty and maritime iu-
riidittion to controversies between two
or more hates; between a fate and citi-
zens Of another fate, between citizens of
different Rates, between citizens of the
fame fate, claiming lands under grants of
different Rates, and between fate or
the citizens thereof and foreign ftates, CT
tizens or fubjects." The gentleman from
Delaware had gone into lengthy argu-
mcnt to prove what never had been con-
troverted, viz. that in all cafes to which
the judicial power Of the United States
did extend, the general principles and
rules of the common law, as modified and
acknowledged by the ieveral fates, mutt
govern the courts OF the United States,
and ferve as Implement wherever requir-
ed to the aatutes of the union on fuch
cafes. This was acknowledged by all, but
could have no effect on the decihon of
the queffion on which difference of OPT
Mon exifted. That queftion was whether

COTTON MANUFACTORY.


Cotton is vegetable produce Of inf
mite utility to the accommodation of hu
man life. Cloths made of it came into
ufe in England early in the 18th century
They were a great article Of importation
from the Levans, during that period TO-
which the trade for Turkey brought e
much wealth into London. The raw ma
terials, as we'll as the goods made of it,
was imported, even in the 18th century
in fnail quantities but it did not imme-
diatsly enter into manufacture III this
country, 70 as TO rife into any competi,i.
on with cur manufactures OF linen and
woollens.
When our trade with the eaG became
more exren6ve, our importation of cotton
tufts continually increaied they came
gradually to be general and avorite ar
ticle OF drefs both in England and the ref
Of Europe. Callicoes and mullins wete
preferred in female dreis to worried ftufs
luisy woIeys, linen gowns, and cambrics.
Still, however, great difficulty was found
in the attempt to iPin or weave this mate.

The annual fun, provided by law, for
the payment Of clerks, Sc. in the treaiury
department, previous to the laa fsaion of
Congress, was $4,000 dollars-during
that falion lin consequence of petition
from the clerks of the different Offices, for
an augmentation Of falary) IS per cent.
was appropriated, making an addition of
{, 800, dollars. OF this additional FUN
5000 dollars have been distributed. What

He had no doubts however. when

he was alA4gcg for the Pbilyotber Of Mo.-

deratle among the ignorant and lower olaf

In thofe parts OF Germany, Belgium, and

Ere they ana'ta;n that pitch OF improve.

to be hoped that we ihaIl, innew ab5revi-

1t is aeoniihing to remark how vide
~ the cotton manufacture is extended
throughout G!eat Britain. Wherever
three Is african TO drive mill machinery,
wherever labor and proviGons are compa-
ratively cheap, this manufacture is indui-
triouiy carried on. The Southwest
counties OF Scotland are not leis enriched
by it than Lancaihire, and other counties
OF England. 1t becomes, in preference,
even to linens. the principal manufacture
at Perth, Dundee, and other places on the
north eaG COAT.
This Manufacture contributes remark
ably TO frengtl1en the commercial con-
nettion of the Eaf and Wet Indies with
Great Britain. Our raw cotton comes
from Turkey, from India, from the Wet
|, India lilies, and the continent OF Amcri-
ca. Since it was wrought up in iuch
yaf quantities in this country, new en-
couragement has been afforded to our Welt
India Planters. 49,. 81.
We DO not equal the exqoii,e beauty
aud durability of the finer India fabrics.
But we are not now in this n,amf7eture
greatly behind the Hindcos. While we
export to all the world, we iiiIi ennsirue
to import cotton fufs from India.

A bill making appropriations for the

Menrs. Davis, Mott, and Claiborne,
were executed from icrving on the commit
tee appointed to inveitigate the official
conduct Of Winthrop Sargent.
MIR. Davis moved that the committee Of

Kentucky and the N. W.. Territory to paw
Peniions becoming due.
The houfe refolved into committee Of

The chairman proceeded in reading the
paragraphs until he came to the eth ieefi-
on, which
MIR. Egglef On moved 70 to amend a, to
preierve the plan at prefent exiting which
eitabllihes one court for Virginia, initead
OF dividing the fate into two diftriets, and

Griiwold, Harper, Bayard, H. Lee, and

Thoie who fupported the motion con-
tended that the propoied alteration was un.
warranted by any change which had taken
place in Virginia that heretofore much
bufinefs had been done in the federal court
Tram an accumulation of uni atisfed de-
mands incurred previouly to the formation
of the federal contribution; that theie de-
mands for the mott part were now fettled;
that the exiting demands are few, and
which one court was fully equal to at
tending to that the fact was that iufice
had been administered under the prefent
fyffem with the greatef difpatch and that
at the Taft term the docket was 70 complete
ly cleared, in fitting of ten days, that the

be wife IN Congrcfs to conform as neat,v>
as they could, in confidence with econo
my, to the ideas adopted by the tevas.,
hates, as well as the eitabliihed pr;rc;u,a
Of common law, which brought ;ut;s'
home to the door of every man tb,t -
would therefore be Advisable, if the a.
pence were not too great, to divide w.
gina, not merely into two, but into sor-
or eight diitriets, with court in e,ch
that 1t was lame argument, that heca"c
we could not do all that was REQUIRED NC
; fhould do nothing; that as to the ;d %e
, thrown out, that the convenience Of Tia
citizens of Virginia did not require an al
ditional court it was entitled to no we;ob,
as the additional court would not be inf.
tuted merely for the convenience Of W.
GINA, but for rendering juRice to fore;or
ers and the citizens of other ttates az -
inl'ue the dignity and independence Of the
government.
In reply to tbeS remarks, it was aid bv
a member, who reprefcnted the weAer,
diitrict OF Virginia, that there had bee,
but one iuit carried before the federal c,u,t
from his part of the fate for ten vears
and that at prelent there is not Jingle one
depending. Wv
Other gentlemen obferved, that it BE-
hoved thoie who avowed that this addit;
onal court was not intended to anfwer tfe
convenience OF the citizens of Virginia to
lay Whole convenience it was intended 70
an1wer; that, notwithstanding the con
trary declarations Of iome gentlemen, who
On this cccaiion, had betrayed the fame
ignorance of.the phyical fate of the ccuD.
try, that On previous occaiions thew had
| inaniteited Of It's moral and political fate.
the new arrangement would increale, in
1tead OF dnnln'ih, the exiting inconveni-
ences, inafmuch as the citizens of the conn
ties OF Ehex, Care line, Louifa and Grange
would be removed to a greater diaancc
from Freder;ckA urg, the contemplated
ieat OF their court, than they now were
from Richmond.
1t was further contended that tie fat.
courts were fully competent to di{charqe
all the duties aligned them and that in
Virginia the federal laws had been either
invariably obeyed or enforced; that no
iplrlt OF hofility to the federal govern.
ment had appeared, and that it would be
time enough to guard againit it when it
ihould~appear that from the remarks OF
tome gentlemen, it really appeared, as if
they wanted an additional judge, andknew
not where to locate him.
The queaion was then taken on Mr..
