w AsHlNa TON, March 9.

The great debate in the Senate is not yet ended, nor, as far as we see, is it < likely soon to be. A new topic was in- 6 troduced into the debate, the other day, by Mir. GRuNDY, in defence of the re- movals from office under the present ad- ministration, which is likely to proIong the discussion. This topic has already s produced some most able debate, and will not, we apprehend, be very soon exhausted.
 Some of our contemporaries, we ob- serve, regret this widely discursiye de- bate, and think the time misspent which is employedin it. Not so we. We do not see how the time of the Legislators for the Nation, during portion of each biennial long session of Congress, can be more usefnlly employed, than in a recurrence to first principles; in an ex- animation of questions of more recent date; in free examination of popular errors and prejudices, and in reciprocal explanations, by the members, of their particular views of things. Nor are the benefits of these collisions of opin- ion, and consequent effusions of light, confined to the walls of the Capitol. No; they penetrate the remotest corners of the Republic, and enlighten all its bor- ders. The speeches delivered in such debates are, i'll truth, school books in the system of national education. They do not answer the elementary purpose of ss teaching the young idea how to shoot but they serve to mature its af- ter blossoms into fruit, and to give to the fruitits wholesome flavor and medica- ting influences. For all the purposes of instruction in the practical science of government, the perusal of one good speech, in such debate, is worth a whole years study of the ponderous toHaesof scholastic exercises, with which the heads of our collegians are general ly filled, to the exclusion of all proper instruction in the theory or practice oi their own government.
 This debate has, it is true, grown up unexpectedly. upon question not par. ticularly inviting it. But, when the heart is full, the mouth will speak ;and under such circumstances, one occasion serves as well as another. In the early history of this Government, following the practice of the British Parliament the debate in each House, early in each session of Congress, upon the answer tc the Presidents speech, furnished the op. portunity for this general disburthening

In Maine, within few days, we have


 seen the federal party set the constitn- ton and laws at defiance, and with un- hailowed hands usurp the power Of go- yernment.--Mr. Webster, the eatidol -the Juggernaut of the Federal party, holding the high and responsible place of u. States Senator as a means of mug sling tse press, very deliberately propos- ed to the Senate to violate contract entered into for the public printing with Gen. GREEN, Editor of the Telegraph. Such Such proposition iii private fife Ii ffe would be considered disgraceful if not dishon- est. How much moreso when made by the Representative of the Statc-eyery lcitizen of this Commonwealth is disgra- eed by this conduct of Mr. Webster.
 They hesitate not to use even our Ju- rles as instrumental of terror and ven- geance to control or destroy their oppo- |nents-by trick or contrivance they put on as foreman, some old trained blood hound to hunt down their victim-and with public prosecutors, whose moral sense, if ever elevated, has by a long familiarity with crime, become debased and vitiated, they often destroy, and more often terrify and harrass innocent men, who are politically obnoxious to them. Such are the traits of the federal party, at whatever period you examine it--in whatever place you find it-base, unprincipled and perse- cuting-cruel, yiadictive and insolent -boastfal without talent--ambitiou without integrity.- Boston Statesman.

Federal P,,iaeip5es.-There is a pe- culiar unity of principle, or rather want of principle, in the conduct of the differ ent portions and individuals of the fede- ral party. Look over the history of that party from its first organization down to the present time, and you will find in their acts in all parts of the coun- try, prominent instances of the most shameless disregard of law aad right a seltishness and dishonesty, that is not even attempted to. be concealed. They seem to consider the rights of the people and the public treasury fair and ligiti- mate objects of violation and plunder. But a few days since, the federal Sena- tors in Congress, taking advantage of the temporary absence of the republican members, voted to give Gales and Sea ton, their party editors at Washington, $6i, ,00O, more for printing certain do- cuments, than Gen. Green offered to do them for, and Sf5,000 more than three other respectable printers offered to perform the same work for. Webster and Silsbee, and>liolmes aud Sprague, and all the other federal memoers, voted for this extraordinary resolution, to give a gratuity of S6l,O00 of the peoples money to Gales and Seaton; in effect to make present of this sum to them from the public funds. To descend from this grave assembly-from the highest Le- gislatiye bodyin the nation to the lowest, the Common Council of Boston, we find the same principle governingth federal members-but few years since our predecessor was deprived of contract for printing in violation of the plighted faith of the city-beeause he di9ered from them in politics-and they preferred pay ling one quarter more to q political friend, plundering the amount from the people, rather than an opponent should jhave his rights-and strange as it may seem the men who openly and shame Ilessly avowed their intention to violate a contract to gratify party hatred, hava been prompted, as. reccmpease for their destitution of moral principle.

OUR soUTH-wEspERN FRONTIER

The frequency with which our citizens. our Territory, are alarmed by the savage Excursions made upon them by the neigh Z boring Indians, and the many citizens who
 have fallen victims to the tomahawk and
 scaiping-knife, are fearfnlly impressing
 them with dread of yet more direfiIl events. So great is this apprehension, that iour citizens in that quarter, are driven to the necessity of having spies through the Ecountry about them, that timely notice lnay be given ofthe approach of any savage 1foe.
 # Our Legislature has repeatedly memori- szzzliI1ed Congress the subject Of the dan zger to which our citizens are exposed, and Petitioning that an adequate military force szzinay be so located, as to afford protection NSto our frontier settlements. These appli- Ascations for protection, have not only been ain vain, but they have been worse than in sBsain. Not only have they been unheeded, zEbut the small military force which for 2sometime occupied Cantonment Towson, ..has been withdrawn, and we are left to the $:sEnercy of the merciiess savage. Cur citi- Izens are compelled, by turns, to leave their i farms to the care of their wives and child Iren, while they, as scouts, are lowering Iround the enemy to mark the road they Etake. in order to prevent more of their
 Plumbers from perishing in their own corn
 felds.
 How much longer are we thus to be ex-
 posed
 It is confidently expected, that the Pre-
 sident, who is better acquainted with the smerciless savage than any of his predeces-
 sors, and who best knows the surest means Nof defence, will not suffer the present ses- zsion of Congress to terminate, without strongly recommending such measures as
 will efficiently protect our citizens.

 Speaking of Mfr. iEEAyNE's Speech, the N. Y. Enquirer says:-We snail not follow the example of some journal ists and personal followers, who attempt to draw comparisons between Mr. Web- ster and MT. Hayne. We have ahigher stake in the contest than the intellectu- l al vigor of either of those gentlemen; nor can it be of consequence to the American reader as to whose periods were the most delicately turneds or which of the two combatants was the most accomplished orator. We go at once to the principles, the doctrines and the objeetof each, and measure their ability by the effect produced on the public mind.
 Mr. Webster is avowedly the leader and head of the old federal party under some disguise, it is true, and has in his speech attempted to defend the motives and character of that party, under the garb of defending the people of New
 England. MT. iIayne has traced the course of that party from its earliest aay and n tthiemost fs has has told the story of wrongs which they had done the country-its character abroad
 its tranquility at home-its internal prosperity and happiness-and has pre- sented such q picture of political defor- mity and depravity as was calculated to impress upon the mind of the spectator lively abhorrence of the men and the unhallowed objects they had and now have in view. For this, the country has to thank thank a.f. ttIagse Gigantic son and in mind, as Mir. Webster is re- presented by his devoted followers to be-the Goliah of the East has been met and overthrown by the David of the South. History never errs in honest hands, and the "reminiscences of Mr.. Hayne teach us how easy it is to forget and forgive, when the daring plans of our opponents should have taught us to have done neither. The reception of so many federalits in our ranks has been a fatal error, but not too late to remedy. Such speech as MT. Haynes is like gold thrice purified, and admonishes us by the recollections of the past to guard well the future. Had the federal party in lSl3-i4 gained the aseendancy the. republic would have been lost. The speech of Mir. Hayne is remarkable for having achieved very important point in arresting growing hostility towards our Southern brethren, which had been nourished and cherished by the most willy arts of our opponents. His speech is circulating far and wide, and skeptics now ask themselves in perusing it, how could we for moment believe that the South was not the friend of t1nion-the friend of their country, and of constitu- tional liberty?'
