GEN. GAINES. The New York Courier
states, that when Gen. Gaines understood thaf
Gen. Macom5 had been nominated 10 the Sc
nate, he called upon his friends in that body.
and, with his usual magnanimity, declared
that the nomination was no Infringement upon
his rights, and one which he approved.

Minister TO LoNDoN.-A friend residing
at Washington, writes us, that as yet, nothing
is known at the seat OF government, el,tivo
10 the probable nomination of a Minister to
London. He says, that Mr.. Webster, of Mas
sachusetts, and Mr.. CASTOR, of North Carolina,
are both spoken Of, but it is not probable that
either will receive the appointment. Mr..
Webster is objected to, on tho ground that he
was favorably attached to the Federal party,
and the same objection is urged against Mr..
Castor; and it is most likely that a third per-
son, a distinguished statesman Of tho South,
will receive tho nomination. We should think
that il were time that some one were delegated
to the Court Of St. James, as our interests
thoro should not be SO long neglected. The
difficulties existing between our eastern border
em and the Canadian and Nova Scotia settlers
should be speedily adjusted.

that a generous, and an honorable community,

MIR. ADAMS,

The following sketch OF Mr.. ADAMS, is given
| by letter writer in the Trenton True Ameri-
can:
| Amongst the plainest and most unostont atous
of the people to be seen in this city, are the
| President and heads Of department. Mr.. Ad-
ans, as usual, takes his morning walks at ear
ly day around the capitol, and might, from his
unaffected simplicity of appearance, and his
republican habits, be mistaken for the planest
! farmer Of our state. Every morning before
sunrise he issues forth from what might be
called with propriety palace, and walks and
rides with the plainest citizens of the place
At my visit to his house, l found that care and
incessant labor, had wrought some changes in
his appearance, even within the last year; but
he is still the plain, social and unsophistcated
republican, that he has ever been. Every
thing around him bears evidence Of close at
tentIon to business; books, documents and
papers, are piled high upon his tables; his
moments are all occupied with the great affairs
ofstate, an unremitted attention to the national
concerns marks every act Of the great and en-
hghtened man, who rules the desrinies Of the
American people. Ho received us with the
utmost cordially, and Manifested the most
polite attention while we remained, which was
necessarily short time, as we feared to inter-
'uPs tcSuiai AHuuxcuoHt " UusHcss,
which is a perfect system. As we went out,
nearly q dozen gentlemen Of highly respsc-
table appearance were waiting their turn to
enter. thought as gazed on. and conversed
with this great and good man, what but the
spirit Of demon, could assail his highly excel
lent reputation.
MR.. CLAY.
The same writer thus speaks Of Mr.. CLAY.
"This day, alone. paid visit to the Sec
retary of State, Mr.. Clay, at his Office He
bears marks Of impaired health, owing to his
excessive attention to the public business with
which lie is entrusted. He is truly one Of the !
most interesting men in the world. His manners
are plain and polite. He is free and unreserved !
in conversations; completely republican in his
manners, as nc has always been in principle,
alive to the glory and honor Of his country, |
and devoted to all its best interests. HIS ene-
mles, knowing his we'll earned popularity and
his transcendent talents, have long since marked
him out as their victim; but they cannot pre-
vail. Talents and virtues like his will live
down the slandcrs of the day, and his whole
life has been q series Of acts showing his re-
publican chara cter, and his zeal for the peo-
pies rights. He is truly one Of naturo's noble
men, whom Heaven and his own exertions
have made great"

WAsHINoror, Auril 2I.

The Senate did not take up the Presidents
message on the Jarvis outrage TO dav. The
select committee appointed or the subject by
the House Of Representatives were in session
this morning, and were engaged in the exam
ination of witnesses. Young Adams was among
those who were examined. What will be the
character of their report, and when it will be
made, is Of course not known. 1t is coniec-
tured that four Of the committee, Messrs.
M'Duffie, Gorham, Oakley and Ingersoll, will
be in favor of Furnishing the outrage, in the
usual parliamentary form, and Of adopting a
proper police for the capitol.

MIR. burgess.


The discussion Of the Tariff bill was contin-
ned to day, Mr.. Burgess, Of Rhode Island, OBJ
tanned the floor about IL o'clock, and kept il
till after 5. 1t was a speech of great power
and interest. 1t was the only speech of the,
same length made on the subject which has
not weared the hearers. He commanded
general and silent attention from the COM
mencement to tho end of his grafton. The.
principles of political economy, and the inter
ests of the United States, as they bear on the.
American system, were treated in a masterlv
manner. He then showed that this bill was
hostile to the American system In his reply
to the arguments Of those who preceded him
he was,as usual, very happy ,snd now and then
severe. Never was there heard, in any legis-
lative body, such u phllpick as he uttered
against Randolph. Ii was on the score of tho
phrase delenda ct Cartago," which RAN
dolph used. or was supposed to use, in refer
ence to New England. Among a thousand
words Of bitterness, he said, after speaking
with great force and feeling on this monstrous
doctrine l thank God, that, by an irreversi-
BILE law OF nature, monsters can not perpetuate
their species f! Pursuing the same idea, he
said, that even the Father Of Lies was not
the Father Of Liars!' Upon some Of tho
Pennsylvania and Kentucky members, how
ever, who had sneered at " Yankee notons,"
He was Stlll more severe. tie carried the war
into Kentucky and Pennsylvania Every mo-
ment, while on this topic, he electrified the
House with flashes Of wit and satire. In some
passages Of the speech, be rose to the more
lofty and commanding ooquenoe. At the
close, Mr.. Burgess declared his intention to vote
for the bill, even as il was. 1t had an aptitude
for much evil and little goGd But as il pro-
missed good, and as many in the North and
West, some in the East, and some in the South,
wished for it, he would not, by his vote, aid in
defeating their wishes. Mr.. Burgess is one of
the most accomplished scholars and orators of
this country. In some points-particularly in
sharpness and readiness Of wit-he is not sur.
passed. He is spoken Of as "very old man,"
His appearance indicates great age: the crown
Of his head is bald, and his scattered hair 10
grey. Hc also. in speaking, has a habit Of
bending forward. But notwithstandin these
appearances Of age, he is only fifty eight years
old. On near approach, and close porusal,

or expressions Of old age. His voice isstrong,
clear, and we'll modulatea. He speaks delib-
erately and emphatically; and his cadence
unlike that Of most Of our modern orators, is
very pleasing, and perfectly audible. He ges-
ticulates great deal and his gestures are
graceful and striking. On the whole, he il
one Of the most agreeable and expressive
speakers we ever had. HIS eloquencs will
form an era in our Congressional history.
We shall have no lack Of speeches for .
long time. The previous question will alone
put a stop to the debate. Hall dozen mem-

TILE PRESIDENT

Every citizen who has any knowledge at all
Of our public servants, is acquainted with the
remarkably laborious habits Of the President.
He is perhaps the earliest riser in Washington,
and applies himself to the various duties Of his
high office, with an assiduity which is without
example, perhaps, in any public man, since the
time of President Washington. We recolect
learning the fact. that when he was preparing
his extremely elaborate report on the intricate
subject of weights and measures, which he was,
as Secretary Of State, required by resolution
of Congress to make-a work which, by its
research and comprehensIveness. extorted the
praises of English writers anxious TO COM
plete the report before the close Of the session,
at which he wished to present it, he arose
during nearly the whole winter at 3 O'Clock
and occupied himself for three hours before
day, almost every morning, in completing the
task assigned to him. He accomplished it,,
and the report, comprising between two and
three hundred octave pages, was sent IN be.
fore Congress adjourned. We mention this in =
cident, merely to illustrate the habits Of the
President, and show how necessary some re-
isxatlon must be TO a man Of sixty, when tho
heats Of our long Southern Summers add then
enfeebling effect TO that of constant labor
Without such relaxation. and the renovation
Of few weeks annually spent in the bracing
sea air Of his native climate, his health would
suffer, ie his life were not endangered by it,
He, therefore, almost every Summer, makes a
visit to Massachusetts Of some weeks, which
he spends quietly amongst his kindred and
friends, ard returns to the seat Of Government
prepared for thu labors Of the Winter. This has
been thought so reasonable, indeed necessary,

Of all his predecessors, that i; is rarely tina,
