AiiO s4tpc iOt N d1 q to ACoAdD uc itOtAI our perllous situation, though his name may never reach us--thoagh he may never wear the crown, Eternal Fame shall Wreathe an Evergreen around his brow, and his name shall rank with the pfoudest patriots of tlae proudest eiimcs. Under these circumstances he was op- posed to the bill. lie was devoted 10 his country, ard on her altars he, Oh this occasion, offered up every selfish consideration.

 ''Air. NebsteF said, lie wished to iR- tcrrnpt the course ol the debate for q single moment, in order to sci one mat Ter right if he could. Since q warm controversy was rising on this measure, he thought il but proper that We should understand between what parties the controversies ex st.
 Soon after fbe declaration of war by the United States against Engla5d, aa American vessel feii in at sea with one of England, and gave inforiratioH of the Declaratio7. The English master in qaired, with no little warmth of man Her and expression, why the United States had gone to war with England2 Inc American answered IIln, that dTEli- eaIiies had existed for agood n hiie, be. tween the tao Governments, and that i was al length thought, ih America, to be high time 1o,. He pqrties 10 come 10 c better understanding.
 incline to think, Mir. President, frat wa has broken ont here, which Is vc- " likely before it closes, to bring inc parties to better understanding. Bm .sho dfc 'be parties2 Win you please to remember, that this is a measure tf5uHecd in executive recommendation. The President, charged by the Gonsti- tuIion with the duty of executing the laws, has sent us a message, alleging that powerful combinations are forming 10 resist their executions; that the exist tng laws are rot sufficient to meet the crisis; and recommending sandry enact Hents as necessary for the occason.- The message being referred te the Ju- dietary Committee, that committee has reported bill in compliance with the Presidents rec mmendation. Ii has rot gone hcvond the message. Every thing in the bill, every single provision, which IS now complained of, is in the message. Yet fine whole war Is raised against the bill, and against tie committee; as if the committee had originated the whole matter. Gentlemen get up and address us, IS if they were arguing against some measures of, d factioas oppostion- They look the same way, sir, and speak with the same vchcmcncc, as they used to do when they raised their patriotic voices against what they called ; 'cea- lition.
 Now, sir, let 1t be known once for all, that this is an Administration measure; ]; that il is the Presidents own measure. pray gcntIemcnt 10 have the goodness if they call it hard names, and talk loud ly against its friends, not 10 overlook its source. Let them attack it, if they choose 10 attack it, in its origin.
 Let il be known, also, that majority of the Commiiteereporting the bill are friends and supporters of the admins iration; and thai it is maintained in t8is House by these who are among his stead fast friends, of long standing.
 If s. sir, as have already said, the Presidents own measure. Let those who oppose 1t, oppose it as such. Let them fairly acknowledge its origin, and meet it accordingly.
 The honorable member from Ken. lucky, who spoke first against the bill, said he found if1 t t another Jersey PEis- on Ship; let him state, then, that the President has sent a message io Con- gross recommending a renewal of the snlierinas and horrors of the Jersey Prison Ship. He says too, that the bill spuils of the alien and sedition iaw.- But tho bill is fragrant of no flower ex- ecpt t'e same which perfumes the mes sage. Let him, then, say, if he thinks so. that Gen. Jackson advises a revival of the principles of the alien and sedi- tion laws.
