on his connection with the Senate /; but it was i'm
possible, that he should forget that that connecjon

In dscharging his duty in this seat, it would BE-
objectionable in him not to recollect, that he wa,
placed in the Chair, not by the voice Of the Sena,.
but by that OF the People; and that to them, and
to this body, he was ultimately responsible. Stand
ing in the relation he did to the Senate, he had a

in the least degree doubtful and to conGne himself
to Just and firm exercise Of the powers cearv
delegated. In conclusion, he rendered to the Sen.
ate his sincere Acknowledgements, that, in rescindnp
the rule, such delicate regard had been paid to hi,
feelings in the debate.-Ample justice had been
done to the industry and fidelity with which he had
honestly attempted to discharge his arduous duties
Deeming himself called on by the debate that had
taken place, to say thus much, in explanation he
begged the indulgence Of the Senate for having
done so; and resumed his seat.

FROM THE EpINBURsH MAGAZINE
wHE HIGHLANDER.

Let the bard snatch his Tyre, and the warrior ms sworo
Aud let Fame praise the fests which they rove 10
But what hero recorded in glory's proud roll
Can they match with the Hghanders chivarous soul!
For his valor in arms and his spirit to dare,
Is the boast of the brave and the joy OF the fair
When the Highlander saies exuhngly forth
In the plume Of the eagle and PLAID OF the Nof'h'

From the mountains descending with broad sword and
And his onset TO battles inspiriting shock,
Is the torrent in foam bursting wild from the rock
let the victor rejoice that his spirit shall live gve
In the strains Of the bardsclaimng praise while they
For their fame and the hero's are welded for aye
In the musical beauty of Caedon's lay.
But that lay to his heart shall be charmingly sweet
AS the heath-cover'd hill when it welcomes his feet
And his spirit shall start the lofty Cairn.gorm,
While the wild harp OF Coma exults in the Storm
For that harp full of magic could mastery move
The reluctant to and the mighty to love;
And the Highlanderss bosom shall echo the song,
While the tide Of emotion is hurried along,

Order, Gentlemen, Order The decision OF IN.

ry usage. From the rud.mental debating clubo
former senates OF the United States, it has been
usal for The presiding officer, when the speaker
wandered from his subject, or used personal or in
decorous language, TO call him to order. What

around which the private characters Of senators and
officers of Government are TO be whipped He
might as we'll let the chair itself perform this unc.
ltion-and, by the bye, il is amply competent 10
perform other duties, il we take MIR. Calhoun's
words for it, for he says, The chair has bestowed
its most anxious and deliberate attention." &c.
" and has settled in the conyiction.," &c. Is hd
chair only to put the question on taking vole and
to call senator to order when it is called on bye
senatora Surely MIR. Calhoun is in error. Hes
the head OF the body, and the members are subject
TO its control. What an anomaly TO say that the
member rules the head! In questions OF order,
we had always understood that member might
call to order and the President sustain the call;
that the President was in duty bound to preserve or.
der and to 1al any member to order at his pleasure
but in bot, cases an appeal to the whole body might
be taken, whose decision was FINAL. But we live IN

The British cabinet have for few years past understood
well how shift the and pull wires at the French
Court If they sincere in their professions put
down the slave rae why have they not coerced France
yes corced her, because they have already extorted
pledge from her this subject, which seems has
been redeemed. Boston Gazette.

case, OF rather novel nature, was brought before
the Criminal Court. During the trial OF criminal

sentence upon him, the Judge had occasion to make
some severe observations on the conduct of two
members OF the bar, in regard to the prisoner be
fore his trial. The same afternoon, one of them,
(Mr. Lloyd met the Judge in the upper Faux
bourg. and accosted him in abusive and menacing
language. On Thursday, the Judge issued his
warrant against him, and he was lodged in prison
during thar night. Yesterday he was brought be-
fore the Court and. after hearing variety Of tesi
mony in relation to the conversation between him
and the Judge, he ordered to find security to
keep the peace during year, in two securities
for ore Thousand dollars each, and to be committed
until he find such sureties. He was accordingly
conducted to prison.
