DISTRICT BILL.

On Thursday last, as Wih bc seen ny our tcttsiauhc record, the b for altering is, part of the conss'iu- ton which provides for the number of and mode Oi choosing State Senators,Mas announced by the Spea- ker as the or6es of the day. From the New-IiaEen paper we learn that but one speech made upon the taking of the question: and that it very ques- Iionabe whether that operated for against the bill. It was evidently the intention of the orator, Mir. Shepard the toeration member from Sufhed, to blow the bill "sky high ' but for want of ammunition or because his upper works were little damaged it ap pears to have eventuaed in a "fash ofthe pan," scarcely raising smoke enough to prove that any efforts had been taken to create effect Mr. s. is one of the Times mans flew and far between staunch repub- licans-one who does fear the face of Clay" and who feels most aternal regard for the party to which he has recently attached himsefas a member On party grounds he rested his strongest and most 0DSscerable arguments against the bill True, tce democrats in favor of dstrlctng; but then ecs held offices -now the power is Tn our hands, and it is our duty to retain it, and not suffer our rights 10 be infringed upon by our federal enemies. Alter the speaker had been delivered of this most fustian speech, and feeling disposed to honor him with reply, the question taken-136 votes in favor, and 67 against the resolution, rlS :-
