OF our common countTy-was advocated by
Messrs. Dorman and Stuart This was IN
deed, al. interesting occasion-and the good
feeling and nBanImity which prevailed among
all the members, serve to heightep our plea
sure and our admiration.
With great regret we see the subjoined an
nunciatiou in the western papers. There is
no gentleman in the poblic councils, whose
politics are more orthodox, or whose person
al qualities are more highly esteemed, than
those Of Mr.. CREIeHroN:
From The Scieso Ohio) Gazette.
We have been requested by the Hon. WIN.
CREIGHTog, Jan. our representative in Con
gress, TO announce to his friends in this Con-
gressional District, that be declines being
candidate az the ensuing election. The re-
Peated election of this gentleman to the dis.
hnsulshed Office which he now fills, is the best
evidence of the very high estimation IN which
he IS held by his constituents; and for the
faithful manner in which he has performed
the duties that have deyolved upon him, he
will receive, as he justly merits, their cordial
appreciation. He will carry with him IN has
retirement the best wishes of those who have
sustained him.
The following bill. which passed both hous-
es OF Congress, aud was presented TO the
President OF the United States for his sigma
ture on Saturday night, not having been re
turned BY the President before the adjourn
ment. has failed to become law:
BILL providing for the final settlement of
the claims of states for interest on advan-
ces to the United States, made during the
last war.
10 ~ O.. n
amount due by the United States to any state,
Tor advances made by said state for The Uni
ted States. during the late war, interest shall
be allowed aud paid Gu The whole amount Of
the principal sums, which have been or may
be refunded by the United States, from the
time the same was advanced by the states,
respectively, until the same shall have been
refunded, as aforesaid; the same refunded
from time TO time being first applied 10 the
extnguishment oil the interest accrued at the
time such sum was refunded, s the balance,
after satisfying the interest due, shah be APP.
piled TO the extnguish.nett of the pIincipai
and that for interest actually paid by the
states for money borrowed lay them, and APP
piled to the service OF the United states, the
same rate OF interest shall be paid 10 each Of
the states as such states shall have paid.
Another bill, also, Of much Importance, was
retained by The President, and does not be
come law. We refer 10 the bill for the i'm
proyement Of certain Harbors and Rivers.
This bill proposed appropriations for these
highly interesting objects IN a number OF the
states, to the amount OF something more than
haE million Of dollars. We will procure
and publish a copy of the hill. The items OF
1t WHICH we happen TO remember are the fol.
lowing:
For improving the navigation of the Hud.
son River, Seventy thousand Dollars.
For the improvement OF Back Greek
Twenty Thousand Dollars.
For the Improvement of the Harbor of
Baltimore, Twenty five Thousand Dollars.
For removing Bar in James River, be-
low Richmond, Twenty one Thousand Dol
lars.
This is another case OF the assumption BY
the Executive of authority belonging proper
Iy TO Congress, VIZ: the authority 10 decide
between objects OF appropriation. If there
be any distinction IN principle between this
bill aud the Internal improvement Bill which
the President approved and signed few
days ago, it is in favor of the bill rejected,
the cons'ltutionallty Of which no man will
pretend to doubt,-.Nat Int.

We had yesterday an opportunity Of seeing
one of the neatest things in the way OF pre-
sents that we evermet with. 1t was walk

gift to Mr.. CLAY, from an officer OF the Ma
Wy, new in the Mediterranean. Ii has head
OF agate, or some stone resembling it, which
is surrounded, where ii join the stick, by a
silver band bearing this inscription: "FRoM

This is a compliment, at receiving which, no
man OF any sensibllity, situated as the Orator
of the West is, but must feel highly gratified
1t was accompanied by an elegant letter from
