CONGESTION The debate on striking on!
the frs, section OF the bill, establishing fedora!
numbers, or three ffihs Of the slaves conjoinedi
with white population, was yesterday resumed
b, Messrs Anderson Of Bot. and Craig against,
and by Mr.. Old Of Powha,an, IL favor Of 'ha'
basis.
When Mr.. Craig concluded, the vote upon
striking out was taken and carried IN the nrga-
tive, ayes IS, noe. ioi. This result was d'tfer'
en-, from our anicipar lions. We did not think
q question would be taken SO soon, or that the
6rs, section Of the bill would be retained.
The bill was also amended, by charging the
number Of members TO the convention, from
the several Districts, from four 10 i've.
All the details Of The bill were not gone 'hro'
in committee; but no doubt remains, that the
bill will be reported TO the House a. IT came
from the select committee with the difference
only poticed above.
Notwithstanding the vote VI yesterday, We
do not believe that the basis Of federal numbers
will finally prevail. /. was sustained BY many
who favor other modes, county representation
particularly, from the superstition that their
iavori,e plans would be better promoted under
It's shelter.
Were we 10 hazard conjecture, 1t would be,
tina, the opposing parties will ultimately settle
down upon Senatorial Districts, al the ground
Of compromise.

THE AMERICAN FLAG.

THE AMERICAN FLAG.
when Freedom from her mountain height,
Unfuried her standard to the sir,
She tore the azure robe of night,
And set the stars Of glory there!
She mingled with its gorgeous dyes
The milky baldric Of the skies,
And striped its pure, celestial white
With streakings Of the morning light;
Then from his mansion in the sun,
She called her eagle bearer down.
And gave into his mighty hand
The symbol Of her chosen land!
Majestic monarch Of the cloud
Who rear'st aloft thy regal form,
To hear the tempest trumping loud,
And see the lightning.lsnces driven,
when stride the warriors Of the storm,
And rolls the thunder-drum Of heaven,
Child of the sun! to thee 'tis given
To guard the banner Of the free,
To hover in the sulphur smoke,
To ward away the battle stroke.
And bid its blending shine afar,
Like rainbows on the cloud OF war,
The harbingers Of victory!
Flag Of the brave! Thy folds shall ay,
The sign Of hope and triumph high!
Wnen speaks the signal trumpet.tone,
And the long line comes cleaning on
Gre vet the life blood, warm aud vet,
Has dimmed the gl;ste ming bavone:,)
Each soldiers eye shall brightly turn
To where the meteor glories burn,
And, as his spriaging steps advance,
Catch warsnd vengeance from the glance
Ard when the cannon.mouthings loud,
Heave in wild wreaths the battle shroud,
And CORY sabres rise and fail,
Like shoots of fame on midnight pall,-
There shall thy victor glances glow,
And covering foes shall sink beneath
Each gallant arm that strikes below
That lovely messens.- -e a-~thi
FLAG If the seas! on oceans wave,
Thy stars shall glitter DER the brave.
When death, eareerng on the gale,
Sweeps darkly round the bellied sail,
And frightened waves rush wildly back
Before the broadsides reeling rack
The dying wanderer Of the sea
Shall look, at once, to heaven and thee,
And smile to see thy splendours ny,
In triumph, Ger his closing eye.
Flag of the free hearts only home!
BY angel hands to vslor given,-
Thy stars have liz the we,kin dome,
And all thy hues were born in heaven!
Forever Goat that standard sheet!
where breathes the foe that stands before u.s.
With rreedom's sail beneath our feet,
And Freedoms banner streaming DER US!
