Washington, .4pr,l 5.
A motion was made, and agreed to, in the
house of representatives yesterday, which
we consider of great interest, as it concerns
the character Of our national legislation, and
as it directly affects the interests of noincon-
siderable portion of the People ofthe United
States. An experience of twelve years has
convinced US, and every day strengthens the
conviction, that Congress is not the proper
tribunal for investigating and deciding on The
MULTI ude OF private claim, which are annu-
ally presented to them. Too numerous for
a bench ofjudges, each house must rely on
Ills committees Those who compose the
committees, after devoting all their time,
with unwearied industry, to the inyestiga-
ton of the cases referred to them, find their
reports lie, day after day, perhaps unre-
garded, until the termination of the session
puts a term to their existence. The time al
SO devoted by Congress to the investig alton
of claims is so much taken from the consi
deration due to great national concerns,
which suffer in consequence. We have long
thought that claims, depending on the exer-
else of an equitab Bile jurisdiction, ought to be
submitted to the adjudication OF different
tribunal, better constituted for this object.
The motion of Mr.. Fuller is the FIRST attempt,
that we know of, that has been made to
reach this object and we should be truly
gratifed to find il crowned with success.

II Dream.-In the dead Of the night,
when deep sleep falieth upon man, l
dreamed dream. And 10 beheld a
fair country pleasant to the eye, and it
was watered by many rivers, that spread
fertility and commerce throughout its
borders. But while was gazing with
delight on the scene, the air became sud-
denly darkened, the fields lost their ver-
dure, and Peace and Content seemed to
have f1ed the land. Then looked up
and beheld monster, and he carried
chains in his hands, his countenance
beamed with revenge, and on his brow
was written SLAVERY, and beheld
he iourneyed through the land, and his
steps were followed by the tears and suf-
ferings of MEN,: and their prayers as
cended on high, but no man helped them
nor pitied them, but added SCOTS to their
woes, & stripes to their complaints; then
I cried aloud, " is the spirit of humanity
dead in the land, will none arise for the
help Of the children Of Africa" AS l
spoke, the Heavens opened, and beheld
Justice and Mercy descend upon the
earth; and the air was filled with light, and
the face Of nature was frightened; and l
beheld, and the DEMON OF SL.AVE-
RY waged war against Justice and Mer-
cy, and the conflict was doubtful: and l
beheld Justice carried Book, and it was
called the Constitution Of the United
States; and he opened it, and FIRE from
Heaven glowed upon these words, ALL
MEN WE'RE CREATED EQUAL ;
then the DEMON OF SLATER y
started but aided by assimilation, it
maintained the war, and gaining some
advantage, it uttered a shout of Joy,
which awoke A DREAMER.
