AOSkON, MAhNh -.
With the close of this day ceases the
political existence of The Sixteenth Con-
gress. As an analysis of their proceed
ings during session of several months,
would rebound but little to their fame as
Legislators, and afford but little satisiac.
ton to aoy class of readers, We shall de-
fer at least for the present, any such re-
cord.
In anether point Of view, this day Of
fers subject for contemplation more
pleasing and more satisfactory than the
one noticed above. 1t finishes the term
OF time for which the majority of his fel.
low citizens elected JAMES MON
ROE TO be President of these United
States. And to his honor and the cred
it of the people be it written, the same
individual has been again called by the
unanimous voice (save one Of his coun.
trymen to preside over their destinies a.
mother four years. 1t would be by no
means astonishing if the same circum-
stance should not again occur while our
country has an existence as republic.
Let the fact therefore be known to all,
that the highest Office in the Gift Of the
United States has been conferred by the
people upon one of its citizens, himself
the son of a mechanic, by an almost u.
nanimous suffrage. Boston Patrio,.

THE sPANIsH TREATY.

TIKI SPANISH TREATY.
The arrival of the Spanish Treaty in
the y. States, has TUNED public attention
towards Florida, and the commercial and
political consequences of its acquisition.
For the last IL months an apathy has ex-
listed in relation to this subject, which,
in this country, where the freedom Of
public enquiries is OF boldest charaster is
to be accounted for, snly by supposing
that all public considerations are lost in
the contemplation Of private depression
and distress. But, the ratification has in
it so much of peace, SO much Of unmix-
ed good, that the very expectation OF j,
has frightened the public aspect. A
strong anxiety has always existed to have
the treaty ratified, founded on wish to
preserve peace between the two nations.
and particularly to preserve peace by ad-
ding that country to the domains Of the
United States.--A correspondent, who
was accidently led, few days ago, to
the perusal Of debate, which took place
in Congress at former session on some
resolutions introduced in relation to that
treaty, says he has not seen any where
the sentiments, which he is sure prevail
among the American people, more accu-
rately and ST. ongly expressed than in the
following paragraph Of speech delivered
by Mr.. Anderson, OF Kentucky. He
rapidly enumerates the advantages Of the
acquired territory and most correctly
states the public sentiment. (.
"Mr. ANDERSON said, that he had
never heard, until lately, that the acqui-
siHon Of Florida was not eminen,ly desi-
rable to this country, not only ON account
Of its positive advantages, but for the
purpose OF excluding from all,owntrship
any foreign power, whose neighbofhood
would be always unffiendly, and partic-
ularly for preventing It's occupation by a
power which had strong naval force.
The complete natural boundary which its
possession would give us It's fine ports |;
the command Of the Gulph, ian adVaa-
fsge always in the recollection gs these
auhose productions passed to marker
through the channel Of the Mississippi, !
had formed the reasons which induced
the American people to desire It. Mr..
A. said that, without pretending to know
more on the subject than was possessed
by every gentleman around him, he had
yielded to these reasons, and had parta-
ken of the general anxiety.--PubGe SEN
tin,sn has decided on the importance of
the acquisition, and the executive Depart
mem Of tie government has been sfimu-
lated BY a konsUiedge sfthe sniversaI s1ish
that Florida should belong - us. 1t
nay be safely affirmed that. for many
years, the people have never looked to a
settlement of our differences with Spain,
without combining with it the acquisit-
ron Of Florida So strongly has it siesed
on the public mind, that the original
cause Of our negotiation with Spain has
become only an incident in public senti.
ment.--This general anxiety was con.
nected too with belief that its purchase
was essential to the complete suppression
Of the Indian hostili,ies which have so
long vexed our southern citizens"

der for the captors, by MIR. Websley for
the claimants, and by Mr.. Wheaion for

ture was made by our citizens, in breach
of the laws and the treaty with Spain.

ure, were dismissed.
