Our friends of the lnteligencer with their
broad sheet and widecolumns. and devoting them.
selves to the effort, despair of getting through
with the Debates. They say
at is Mt possible for any journal to publish
all the Debates and important Documents which
are produced during the winter solstce, even by
excluding the news Of the day as well as adver-
,isrments. upon which latter the existence OF
every newspapers is materially dependent.
All that can be done, therefore, is to give
correct sketch of the principal arguments used
by the principal speakers. This has been our
course during the present session. Much, how
ever, of the piquancy of the debate is often lost
BY waiting until the speeches are written out for
the press by those engaged. The letters of Wash.
ington Correspondents, and the running news
papsr reports, are better, on this account, than
the labored and full reports. We give, pelow,
extra, Is, sketches and reports. from different
sources, which will give some idea Ct the late de-
bates in the Capitol:

ENCOURAGEMENT TO THE FRIENDS

among the various means which the benev-
olent are employing TO arrest the progress Of

with peculiar interest recent proposal of the
friends Of universal peace, which for the mag
nltude of its object. and its adaptation as mean
TO the end demands we apprehend, small

Gus custom of war, by establishing, through the
influence of public opinDn, a high court to be
composed of wise and irtuous statesmen of
disnteresled nations, 10 which international
disputes may be referred for ultimate and lust
decision.
Although we are not ilsensible how this pa
chic measure may be waved by the reckless
| sons of proud ambition, Who will sacrifice the
lives of thousands, and tie felicity of millions,
to obtain their blood stained laurels, we believe
that, either on the principle of sound policy or
| of human sympathy, or If the pure precepts of
| the Prince of Peace, it will commend itself to
great majority of the }eople in all civilized
countries. IL is well kmwn that wars in gen
erai are TO be traced to he ambition of a few

of the people in CIVILIZED countries still en-

pealing 10 tribunal of justice, (if such tribu-
nal can be established) for settling national
differences, instead of appealing to arms is
1t chmerical to suppose that the establishment
OF such tribunal is practicable. when in fact,

in the legislatures of Republics We have re.
Jolced at the proposal to do something moro
efficient than has yet been done to arrest the
'desolalng progress Of custom of barbarous
times, which is violation of all the laws of
reason, righteousness, and love. We pray that
in our own country-indeed we are assured
that there will be found many in the communi
~ at large, and among those whose superior
talents give them a commanding influence in
our national councils, who will advocate meas
ure, the accomplishment of which will produce,
