THURSDAY, April 70.


The House agreed to meet for the re-.
maInder of the session at 10 o'clock on each
day.
Mr. Gardner's proposition for the appoint
meut OF committee to enquire into the
pro2riety of providing by law for an earli-
er meeting of Congress than usual, was ta-
Ken up and agreed to, so, to 90.
The bill for altering and establishing
certain post roads was passed by yeas and
nays, II to 81.
The House then resolved itself into a
committee of the whole, SIS to 90, Mr. De-
sha in the chair, on the resolution offered
by Mr. g. w. Campbell, declaring that The
President of the United States ought in the
event of certain contingencies occurring
daring the recess OF Congress, to be autho-.
rised to suspend the operation of the embar-
go.
Messrs. C.. w Compbcll and Johnson
supported ihe resolution, and Mr. Randolph
opposed it at considerable length.
The committee rose at about four O'Clock,
and obtained leave to sit again; when the
House adjourned.

against the vicissitudcs to which the nation

There is no, efficient or competent law
in existence, for the employment of the
militia.
They are not one tenth armed.
They are very imperfectly disciplined
where disciplined the best.
No provision has been made for procur-
ing horse artillery or horses.
The people should at once turn their at
tention to provide for every necessary, from
internal resources; our own industry and
Ingenuity if put into operation, are fully
competent to supply all our wants and give
lively and wholesome activity to the ma.
tional ca pitai-
Spin cotton.
Raise sheep.
Plant fax.
Encourage the loom and the spinning
wheel
Onr iron mines are inexhaustible-
Our forests and our fields are the same.
Resort to them--it is better to keep from
the ocean two or three years, than to mourn.
or be involved III wars for ages.

On Tuesday morning last, the remains
Of JOHN ID. BURK, we're consigned 20 the
grave. He had particularly desired in his
will, that his body should not be Inferred
in church yard, and requested too that
the usual religious formalities on funeral
occasions, might be dispensed with. His
corpse Was therefore, conveyed to Cedar
Grove, the seat Of General Jones, in the
suburbs Of this town, and buried with milf
tary honors. The Volunteer companies Of
Artillery, Calvary and infantry attended
the funeral. as we'll as numerous con.

Mr.. Hilihouse yesterday laid before the

TO the constitution of the U. S. materially
altering the organization of the Executive
and legislative departments, by which the
representatives are to be elected annually,
the Senators triennially, and the President
to be every three years taken from the Sc :
majors by lot. The length of these promo
sitions ebliges us to defer them until our

My predilection for Mr.. NJ adj son has been
generally known--I have publicly acted as
| member of the corresponding committee,
to promote his election; and although
nave never been written TO by the Monroe
committee, yet have no doubt they knew
my sentiments and have always suppos-
ed, that my being continued on their nomi-
nation, as an elector, arose from its being
known, that l was personally friend TO
Mr.. Monroe, and because they knew no
person in this district who would certainly
vote for him
But never did say, SHAT if Mr.. Madi-
sou was not a Virginian, I would give Col.
Monroe the preference. The person who
gives that information to The public, has
completely misapprehended what said.
i have no doubt but that part of the publ.
cation has proceeded from mistake, and al
though the public is not much Interested in
1t, must so far trespass upon them, as to
correct the mistake.
l have said on various occasions. and mar.
ticularly before Mr.. Monroe's election was
placed, SO decisively, on the ground of oppo
sllon to the measures lately pursued and "a
dopted by our government as to foreign ma
tions, that if Mr.. Monroe was a citizen of
another state, that circumstance would SO
far preponderate with me, as to over .ba-
lance my preference for Mr.. Madison on
other grounds; and that I Should greatly
prefer president from any of the other
states, deserving and possessing as much of
the public confidence as believe Mr.. Ma
olson does am warmly attached to the uni
on, and would be glad to sacrifice.any local
pastialty at the shrine of general harmony
and confidence.
/ am also of opinion, that the independ..
ence and prosperity of our country, greatly
depends on rigid adherence to the mea-
sures, hitherto adopted, asto our foreign re-
lations, and that fany others, more efficsci-
GUS, could be brought to their aid, no time
should be lost in adopting them-and altho'
Mr. Monroe, in my opinion, would neither
sacrifice his country, or the great princi-
pies for which he has always commended, and
although, Notwithstanding all that has been
said for and against him, he still possesses
my confidence yet, were he now elected,
it would certainly be on the ground of Cd.
position to those meas ures, and | think
therefore, that such an event, at present.
would have bad effect both at home and
abroad.
