MIR. ROBBINS SPEECH.

We fulfil to-day the promise made in
our last in publishing the able Speech
Of our distinguished Senator, in vindica-
tion Of the course Of the Senate at the
last session in relation to the ''three miI-
lion" appropriation. IT will be found on
our first page. II is unnecessary for US
to say, that it well susiains MIR. RS re-.
putaiion as constitutional jurisi ,and will
gia,ify and instruct aIl those who take
an interest in the prevalence Of sound,

People, is relied upon as a torch to kindle
the popular indignation against him. And,
for this incepdisry purpose, this torch Is, by
an extraordinary effort, TO be carried To every
region, and applied TO every nook and corner
Of our wide domain. Yes, it is so; shut our
cyes 10 the melancholy fact Us we may, this
Constitution, the noblest fabric ever raised
on earth by human wisdonr fur human liberty,
is fast giving way; this torrent of law!ess pow
Or Is forcing il from its foundations; the Peo-
ple look on and see column falling after col
umD, and they look on with unconccrn; nay,
instead of stemming, they yield, they add
themselves to il, aud swell the torrent; they
seem to have eaten Of the insane root, and to
re mally in love with their own destruction.
How else could they be invoked to abjure
the great defender Of the Constitution az a
traitor to his country, and to take fervld
sentiment Of devotion to the Constitution as
the evidence of his guilt?
But let him not despond nor falter in his
course; let him still pursue, as he hitherto has
done, "that fame which follows, not that which
is run after; that fame which, sooner or later,
never fails to do Justice to the pursuit ofnoble
ends by noble MEANS" And il our free Re-
public is doomed to perish, of which the signs
are 80 many and SO portentous, and by her
own suicidal hands, still she will live in His
tory; and History, the dispenser of Fame, will
charge herself with his. D! let him think
how poor are all the bonors Of office. CON-
pared to the glory Of being chosen theme
for the Muse OF History to celebrate; to be
her Prometbean fire, to enkindle in the bu-
man breast the fame of patriotism in all after
times! Let him recollect that, whenever we
think Of The great men who have made the
glory Of any age or country, we never think
Of the offices they filed, however dgnifed.-
No; these are sunk and lost out Of sight; we
think only of that splendor, Of that halo of
glory which their minds and their achieve
ments have thrown around them. Who now
ever thinks Of DemostheEes as the Senator
Of the Areopagus, as the Archon of Athens,
as the Ambassador so often to so many States,
or as the acknowledged chief and leader Of
the Grecian Confederacy for so many years?
No: we think Of him as the devoted patriot
who barred his bosom and breasted the storm
which he saw gathering and coming to over
whelm the liberties Of his country; and which
did eome-did overwhelm these liberties, and
break with fearful and fatal violence on his
own head; and we think, too, Of that "resist-
less eloquence" which, in that cause, "shook
the arsenal, and fulmined over Greece to
Macedon, and Artaxerxes' throne;" whose
animating sounds, at this distance of time, af-
ter the revolution Of SO many ages, still vi
brate on the human ear; and whose stirring
appeals still influence and carry with him the
human heart

the head Of 5000 men, and % pieces Of

amounts to 10000 warriors, and 8, 900
cavalry. This report accords perfectly
well with the departure of the 9Th regi-
ment Of U. s. troops from Jefferson bar
racks, for the Mexican frontier, where
they are to be joined by Gen. Gaines,
who is to take the command.
The disnflection of the Cumanche In

torn up the treaty lately entered into by
them with the Commissioners of the II.

The consideration of the question of
receiving a petition, for the abolition of
Slavery in the District of Columbia, was
resumed and debated by Mr.. Wall, Mr..
King, and Mr.. Porter. Before any
question was taken, the subject was laid
on the table, to enable Mr.. Leigh to pre-
sent memorial from the General As
sembly Of Virginia, protesting sgainst
the right of Congress to interfere with
the abolition Of slavery, which was laid
on the table, and ordered to be printed,
and the Senate adjourned.
In tho House Of Representatives, the

petitions, great part Of which related
TO the abolition Of slavery, and which
were referred without further order, to
