The Speaker laid before the Horse memo-
riai of Edmund Gage; which was referred to
the Committee on the Judiciary.
Mr.. TAYLOR, from the Joint committee ap-
pointed TO report what business required the at
tcntion of Congress- during the present session,
and at what time Congress shall adjourn, made
report in part, with respect to the business to
be taken up, which is divided into classes, and
reported the following resolution:
RcSolccd, That all Tie Legislative business be-
fore the Senate, the bills before the House of
Representatives mentioned in Schedule No. l.,
2, 3, 4, and SO many ofthose mentioned in Sche-
dule No. 5, as tune sliau permit, be acted upon
at the present session; that precedence be Civ
en- to private claims, examined and sanctioned
by the committees, 10 which they were rcspec-
lively referred, and to bills of public nature
which it is believed viii not require protactci
discussion; and that those which are embraced
i'll Schedule No. 5, which shall not be decided
upon before the rising of Congress, be preferred
in the orders OF the day, at the commencement
OF the next session of Congress.
Mr.. Taylor explained the arrangements which
the committee had made, and the resolution was
adopted.
Mr.. Taylor, from the same committee, repor,
Ted tue following resolution
Resolced, That, after this day, until other

cess, from t;yo o'clock until fr.r o'clock, in lie
afternoon.
Mr.. Campbell spoke in opposition to the re-
so!u:ion there would be difficulty in procur-
ing quorum; the evening session must be short;
he was utterly opposed to nocturnal sessions, &C.
Mr.. Taylor replied. and insisted that the
measure proposed was the best mode of avoid
ing the necessity of nocturnal sessions; it would
obviatc the necessity of prolonging the session.
At the suggestion of Mr.. Webster, the mo-
ton was modified, so as To propose recess
from O'Clock until !, and the hJur of meeting
in the morning to be 10 o'clock.

ton should be adopted, il is probable TIC com

mart, passed through Washington on It's way to
Richmond, where il remained, probably, fora
very short time. The furnisher of the letter
anxious to conceal his name, would Of course
take care that postmark should not lead 10 his
dctcction.
These were my objects, and these only. I
had no idea of dcfesnS Mr.. Monroe. He
wontcd no defence. He has never wanted any.
Though have seen him assailed on every side,
by ignorance. by resentment, by malice i'm al.
most every shape, have never written word
IN defence ofhs character or measures | bcar
that may not be understood as making any
defence for him now. My object has been to de-
uounce an infamous intrusion into his Cabinet.
ahd TO hold up the offender when discovered
to the scorn of this nation.
Mr.. Lowrie states that, as to the prnciples
on which the letter is retained, it will be 6 in
| season" to state them when the surrender is re-
quested. / am very confident that the surren-
der never will be requested. The letter is
the property of Mr.. Monroe. Mr. Lowtic is
bound TO surrender it without an application,
and to state the principles upon ,vhichhe has
detaiaed it so long, or detained it even for q
moment. The season for doing justice aud
telling the truth is eternal.
But enough of Mr.. Lowrie Iought NOT. per-
haps, TO have wasted moment on a man so to-
tally ignorant or regardless of the rules Of de-
corum, and of the principles of honor, as to ask
gentleman, and tlatgentieman the President
| OF the United States, TO betrdy the confidence
of his friend, by the publication of his letter;
which letter, too according to Mr.. Lowric,s
opinion, was 10 prove that the President had
not told the truth; and what, perhaps, would b.
deemed still more precious, that Gen. JAG kson
had expressed opinions which nigh be welded
against him in the State which, in utterdefiance
ofthe Caucus and Mr.. Lowrie, had SO maenan-
| iInouly adopted inhabitants of two other states
for the two first Offices in the Union.
In this request, seriously addressed by Mr..
Lowrie TO the President, TO commit an act of
bascness and treachery, by the publication of
confidential letter from a friend, and to de-
grade himself by an acknowledgement that his
declaration to Mr.. kremer was not true, there
is manifestation of an obliquiiy of judgement
and feeling, SO r,ible, that one is at a loss
whether to ascrbe it to folly or TO depravity;
wha,har to view it with contempt, or unmitiSa-
ted abhorrencc.
Mr. Lowrie has thought proper to bring my
name before the public. l shall not withdraw it.

HOBONIOk.

This little book, which has recently made its APP
pcarance, has been too much neglected. Few have
read it in almost every instance it has been looked
at and, from its unassuming appearance, cast aside
among the catch-penny works of the day. But it
deserves better fate and we venture to predict,
strange as it may seem that novel whose scene is
laid in Salem should excite the least degree of in
terest, "when Waverly is galloping over hill and
dale, faster and more successful than Alexander's
conquering sword''-when "'The Spy is lurking
in every closet''-and when "the mind is every

after his departure, intelligence is received Of his

Plymouth, in the same unhappy state in which she
had been married. IL Salem Gazette.
s'For several weeks Mary remained in the same
Supplied state in which she had been at the time of
her marriage. She would lie through the livelong
day, unless she requested to rise, and once RI
sen, nothing could induce her to change her pos
ture. Language has no power to shadow forth her
feelings she gradually awoke to sense of her ST.
tuation. But there is happy propensity in the hui
man mind to step as lightly possible on thorns
which infest path compelled to tread. 1t
is only when there is room to hope, that evils are
impatently borne. Desolate Mary's lot might
SEEM it was not without its alterations All the
kind attentions which could suggest themselves to
the mind ofasavage were paid by herIndian mother.
IIobomok continued the same tender reverence he
had always eyinced, and he soon understood the
changing expression of her countcnance, till her
very looks were law SO much love could not
but awaken gratitude and Mary by degrees gave
way to its influence, until she welcomed his return
with something like affection. True in her solita-
ry hours there were reflections enough to make her
wretched. Kind as Hobomok was, and rich as she
found his uncultvated mind in native imagination,
er would often be remembered with sufficient bit
terness Besides this, she knew that her own ma
ton looked upon her as lost and degraded and,
what was far worse, her own heart echoed back the
charge Hobomok's connection with her was cons-
dered the effect of wchcraft on his part and he had
even been generally avoided by his former friends
However, this evil brought its own cure. Every
wound of this kind every insult which her husband
courageously endured for her sake, added roman
tic fervor to her increasing affection, and thus made
life something more than endurable. While all her
English acquaintance or less neglected her,
her old associate, Mrs Collier, firmly and boldly
stemmed the tide, and seemed resolved to do all
in her power to relieve the hardships of her friend
For long time her overtures were proudly refused;
for Mary could not endure that the visits of one,
who had been SO vastly her inferior, should now be
considered an honor and obligation. However,
perseverng kindness did in time overcome this feel
ing, and in less than ayear Sally became frequent
inmate of her wigwam. To this, was soon likely to
be added another source Of enjoyment. Before two
years passed away she became the mother Of hope
| full SON. Under such circumstances, his birth was
no doubt entwined with many mournful associa-
tions still the smiles Of herinfant brought more OF
pleasure than of pain. AS Mary looked on the lit
tie being, which Sc bone of her bone, and flesh
of her hesh, she felt more love for the innocent OBJ
iect than she thought she should ever again cxpe-
| renee.
