HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

FRIDAY, FEB. "a.
Mr.. Thompson, of Penn. Mr.. HemphlI, Of

Mr.. Weems, and Livingston, of Louisiana,
severally offered Resolutions proposing amend
ments of the Constitution, which were COM
mitted and ordered to be printed.
Mr.. Miner, of P. offered the following:
ResOlped, 1t is unwise, frequently, to change
the fundamental principles of government
the Constitution of the United States being
peculiar in its structure, founded in comprom-
ised and compounded Of federative and popu-
lar principles, of delicate and difficult adjust
ment, it should only be altered in cases Of OBJ
vious and imperious necessity. ANY change
would be unwise, which should diminish the
relative power Of the States to the United
States. The present. mode of electing Presi-
dent and Vice President is based on the mas
ter principle on which our republican institu-
lions are founded, namely, that the people
are intelligent and virtIous, that their repre-
sentatves are worthy of confidence, that the
security of the people lies, not in refusing 10
delegate power, but in exactng from their
delegates rigid responsibility therefore.
RssolUed, That it is nexpedent to alter the
Constitution Of the United States in that part
which relates to the election of Pre- sident and
Vice President of the United States.

HUNTING THE HARE IN ENGLAND.

HUNTING THE HARE IN ENGLAND.
We were suddenly interrupted by the
hark-away of group of mounted
huntsmen, and the music of a pack o.
hounds to the number of about thirty,
securing the neighboring hills 10 Pur-
suit of hare, which had been started
from the fern. II was the first regular
chase we nau ever seeu aud the NOISY
concert of the dogs, sometimes ap-
preaching within few yards of us, and
then receding through tangled copses
or deep glens, necessarily drew our at
teniion to a scene which possessed no
other attraction than novelty.-Of all
the sports in which " children of Iarg-
er growth" indulge, that of hunting the
hare seemed to US the most puerile, in
human, and unmanly. Here were half
a dozen men, tricked out with as much

The wanton cruelty of the sport is
aggravated by the Circumstance of the

Every step of our travels about these
lakes reminded me of the interior and
mountainous districts of New-England.
Although there is not so much general
intelligence and hard industry in the in
habitants, there is 10 many respects a
striking similarity of manners. Along
the road are to be seen groups of chill
dren, neatly clad, with school-books in
their hands, who seldom fail to salute
the passenger by bow or curtesy; and
the men whom we Glanced to meet on
the way. generally made slight incli-

UPPosITIoN.-lt is now evident that de-
cided opposition is to be arrayed against the
National Administration, if certain ambitious
politicians can succeed in organizing it
These are generally of the class who have
upheld Caucus dctation, and who cannot
brook the idea of having President elected
by the people without their special permission
and direction. They have selected the Pa
mama question as the first on which to rally
their forces, and TO thwart, If possible, the
views of the President. How wise they have
been in this instance, time must determine
1t is very clear that vast majority Of the
Peopie are with the Executive.
The debates in the Senate on this subject.
are SAID to have been very warm and animal
ed, and, occasionally, acrimonious Among
other reports, it is said that the opposition.
supposing they had the most ready speakers
on their side. proposed discussing the question
with open doors, and committee was am
pointed to wait on the President, AMI request
hm to point out such portions of the docu-
ments, as, in his opinion, it would be improper
to allude to in public. The Committee were
very courteously received by the President
On making known to him the object of their
mission, il is said that he replied, in substance
that 1t was novel and extraordinary pro-
cedure, in which he felt himself at loss how
to act but, on the whole, should decline in
terferins in any manner, leaving the whole
subject TO the judgment of the Senate. in
whose discretion he placed full confidence.
On this answer being reported to the Senate.
the opposition, being thus foiled in their at
tempts to entrap the President, became out
rageeus, and Virginian Senator introduced
resolutions, declaring that as the President
had declined acceding to their request. thew
would take no further notice of the nominal
ton. These resolutions were negatived bya
vote oftwo TO one, and the proposition TO omen
the doors was also rejected. 1t is said there
will be, or the final question, majority of
six in favor of confirming the nomination.
Another, and the most recent report at
Washington is, that Van Buren,, the leader of
the New York Bucktails has determined to
go over to Clinton with his forces, which, it
supposed, will secure him the vote of that
State for the next President, and that Ohio
and other western States will follow in his ia.
vor. Whether this report is true, and, if So.
what consequences will follow, must be left =
for time to determine.
In order to give our readers some
idea of the feelings, elected by the dis
cussion of the Panama question. at
Washington, and, of the pains taken 10
enlist the passions and prejudices of the
Southern Section of the Union in op-
position TO the nomination, we have
published the remarks of John Ran,
dolph, in the Senate, on introducing a
resolution calling on the President lor
information. The remarks will be foana
in oar legislative proceedings.

A WOMAN can KEEP A SECRET.


Some years since, lady called at a
gloyer's shop in the outskirts of the
town, and purchased pair of gloves
for her immediate wear; observing at
the salae time, she was on her road to
Burnet; that she had left her gloves at
her friends house, where she called, and
that she was apprehensiye of being
benighted if she went back for them
The glover fitted on the gloves and The

to this desperate act, and he was deter

The lady gave her purse, and the des-
perado rode off.
After he was gone, and the fright had
subsidized, the lady imagined that in the
address of the highwayman, she recog.

just before dealt with. This concen
struck her so forcibly, that she ordered
the post-boy 10 drive her back TO town

the gloyer's, she knocked and gained adj

never divulge his name or place of

the robbery was stated in the public pa
pers, the discovery was omitted and it
was not until very recently, that minute
of this singular transaction was found
among the papers of the lady alluded
to even in this private memorandum
the name and residence Of the glover
was omitted, and the secret, in that
particular, rests with the lady in the
grave.--After this tale, the truth Of
which may be relied on, who will say
that woman cannot keep secret?
