In the Senate, yesterday, Mr.. Tyler
OF Va. appesred and took bis seat. Mr..
Johnson of Kentucky, obtained leave to
introduce bill for the preservation and
repairs OF the Cumberland road. The
Senate, no business being before it, ad.
lourned TO Monday.
Yesterday was the irst day on which
petitions were called by the Speaker.
and considerable number were pre-.
scented Various resolutions were a.
dopted Mr.. Long offered resolution,
referring it to the committee on manu-.
features, TO inquire into the expediency
OF abolisbing the duty on Salt and No.

ton calling on the President, for infor-
nation, as to any negotiation which had
been entered into With Great Britain re-
lat,ve to the surrender of any fugitive
slaves that may have taken refuge in
Canada. This resolution by rule lies
one dsv ON the table. On motion OF
MIR. Mitchell, Of Tennessee, the bills be
fore the house, at the last session for
the relief of sundry officers and widows.
Tor the relief of sundry revolutionary
aud other officers and soldiers, were re

Pensions Nat. Jour.
A memorial was yesterday presented
TO the House of Representatives, by Mr.
Mercer, from the town Of Alexandra,
praying for an extension of the Chesa.
peake and Ohio Canal to Alexandra
and the Navy Yatd.-D.
The large vote by which Mr.. Long.
resolution relative TO the repeal ol
the duty on salt and molssses-the
administration members voting ia
the majority was rejected yesterday
may, we hope, be received as an indi.
cation of the determination Of the house
not to NEEDLE with the Tariff at the pre-.
sent session. The Eastern 10 embers b,
voting against the resolution, evncec
their willingness rather TO submit TO the
numerous effects of the duty on moias
ses, than to disturb the tranquility o
congress and the country by the agita
tation of the Tariff question. And we
hope the members of the South were
induced to take similar course by &
reluctance to renew an excitemen
which the public prosperity requires t.
be suppressed.-B.

less frequent, and is not vico more ashamed
Of displaying its guilty front? Let the pre-
sent state ofsociety be compared with any
Of former times. and every unbiased mind
will yield an affirmative and ready answer.
Without friendship, and without love,
which is bat more refined degree Of
friendship, this world would be Indeed O
wilderness OF thorns existence would in.
deed be miserable; and death would bo
hailed as a kind deliverer from tedious
and loathssme prison. But il is friendship
and love that sweeten the draught of life,
and strew its paths with flowers. rIknow,
feel. that friendship is not all "a name"
nor love an "empty sound" !" and although
cares and vexations, some times cross US,
there are moments, there are hours. when
the calm delights offriendship, and the en-.
dearing ties oflove, can kindle in the bosom
of sensbility a fame ofheayenly JOY.
