pect; but after the extraordinary "a
mendments they had made to the bill,
he thought the House ought not to
prec'pitate decision on it. He there
tore moved TO postpone it till Satur
day.
Mr.. Dawson said he wished to pro
pose TO amend the amendment of th1
Senate-and as the House had retu-
sed to commit the bill, he hoped post
Ponement would take place.
Mr.. Taylor said he had no obiecti.
on that the bill should lie over until
tomorrow; but there was loud call
on the House for an immediate deci-
sion on it. The bill (said he) has had
long journey and travelled slowly.
SPeculations are going on from one
end of the continent to the other.

that the section of the bill which re-
peals the non-intercourse does away
all penalties incurred under the EN-.
barge law.
Some further conversation took place
on the motion to postpone. Mr.. Key
did not construs the provision OF tn,
bill as Mr.. Bacon did.
Mr.. Macon hoped the law woulc

FOREIGN INTERCOURSE.

Mr.. Upham stated that when the
bill making appropriations for the sup
port of Government was before this
House, ne had voted in favor OF the
appropriations for the expenses of fo-
reign Intercourse but, In 50 doing,
he had kept In view his constitutional
right of ENDURING how the monies
heretofore appropriated had been APP
piled. For the purpose of obtaining
infor nation on the subject, he moved
resolution calling for statement OF
the manner In which monies appro-
priated for expenses of foreign inter-
course for two years past have been
applied.
MIR. Shelley suggested to the gem
tleman that the resolution was unne-
cessary, as the committee appointed
to enquire into the manner in which
the monies appropriated for eight
years past had been applied, had al
ready called for the same information.
After the discussion on this subject
which took place on the appropriation
bill, Mr., S. said that he, as Chairman
of that committee, had thought it his
duty to call upon the Secretary Of the
Treasury for this Information, which
when reported to the committee,

the House.

The company of the sabbath breaker, the
proane swearer, the liar, the drunkarG,
and the impure is extremely dangerous.
When vice becomes familiarized to our
view we lose the adherence of it almost in
sensbly, and though we may still appear to
walk in the path of obedience yet we grad
ully recede from virtue, and by continu-
ance in such courses we soon are prepared
to commit downright wickedness. But
this is not all. The wise and prudent will
ever shun the society of him whose ssso-
ciates are among the vilest of the vile But
there - vet kind Of intercourse with the
world which ever tends to lessen young
man in the opinion of men Of pure lives and
nice sentiments Of honor and propriety.
This is spirit Of accommodation to the low
and vulgar. A. corteous department to-
ward all is undoubtedly commendable, for
all may justly lay claim to common civility
and good Offices, but no one is under obi
cations to receive as bosom companions the
ignorant, the prohigate, or the vicious.
The sober and discreet man will not often
visit him who is ever surrounded with the
refuse Of the earth, neither will a man OF
good sense and delicacy trust himself a.
mong he brawlers of the street. These
considerations should induce those who are
forming their characters TO erect standard
of company and conversation, and while
they are solcitous to treat all with respect,
beware Of lesseEing their own value in the
opinion of men Of virtue and real understan-
ding. Let them equally avoid that haugh-
" and distant carriage which most assured.
ly will bring coatempt,& by life regulated
by the precepts Of unerring wisdom, and
proper sentiments Of honor and dignity, Sc.
cure to themselves the friendship of the
most vittuous and the appreciation Of their
own cOnscicnces-
