support u man for thu Presidency, who has not
made up his opnon upon this subjcct-or who,
directly indirectly, admits any such power in the

expressed opnon, upon this suhlccl-h's opinions

law from all his colleagues for he pursued all the turn

river route. Two gentlemen came from the same city,
travelled in the stage together and charged
S:lO0 than the other.
Mr.. Gideon Lee was opposed to the re-committa Of
the bill The people Of the city we're suffering or would
suffer for the want of this bill being passed, if the De-
postr Bank had not made advances account of it.
Mr.. Underwood said the balance Of the bill need not
be delayed
MIR. Mann, Of New York: cared in what bill good
provision camc that they got it, and the best way 10
abuses to hold fast by the money. For This
reason among others, he should vote re-commit the
bill with Instructions Appropriation bills the pro-
per place TO correct evils and where else could this
be- done 81 ctectualy. ....
Mr.. Anthony said it would not be amiss TO establish
pca sucicy assist the Committee Accounts
in this matter lie drew the attention Of the House 10
the great disparity in the of members coming from
short distance, and those who able 10 travel 200
miles day in steamboats,. Instead of twenty miles q
day, the days mileage should be for forty. The mem.
beers who from the far west received more thnn
double what received by those who had shorteT
distance and all by land. He hoped the bill would be
recommttcd and that regulation would be adopt
ed to do away with this inequality Ills rule was, that
whenever thing could be done, mere form should be
set aside.
Mr.. Mercer said he should for the instructions
MIR. Caubreeng said the Committee Of Ways and
Means had reported this bill for the convenience Of the
House. and if the other members of the committee felt

would crafty the gentleman from Kentucky; but he
trusted The gentleman would modify the motion, by

The Speaker and Clerk the executive officers of

which he hoped would be released from the proposed
duty under these Instructions e hoped the gentleman
from Kentucky (Nlr Underwood) would accept the
dhcation.
Mr.. Anthony moved to amend the instructions by in.
sorting The word equatse the mileage of members of

Mr. Harper said the change that had taken place since

law already in force was long settled and established and
was under that existing statute that the Committee Of

on his head instead of his wig. His de-
met with. Such tones never came from
any human voice within my hearing. g.
He was the very ideal Of bad delivery.
Then must say, the matter was often
as uninviting as The manner. DIR. Hop
kins was distinguished by nothing more
than by faithfulness to his princi Pies
He carried them out 10 their full extent.
Believing as he did in total depravity,
believing that there WAS nothing good or
generous in human nature to which he
could make an appeal, believing that he
could benefit men only by setting before
them their utterly lost and hopeless con-
dition, he came to the point without any
circumlocuion and dealt out terrors with
an unsparing lberality. Add to all this
that his manners had bluntness, partly
natural, partly the result OF long secIusion
in the country. We cannot wonder that
such mao should be set down as hard
and severe. But he had true benevo-
Iencc, and what is more worthy OF being
noted, he was given TO a facetious style
of conversation. Two instances imnie-
diately occur to me which happened in
my own circle. One day, he dined at
my fathers with a young minister who
was wiIling to comply with the C ostuine
of the day, but whose modesty only al
lowed the rufiles to peep from his breast.
The Doctor said with good humor, 81
don't care for rufiies; but if wore them,
I'D wear them like a man." recollect
that on visiting him one day when he
was about eighty years of age, found
his eyes much inllamed by reading and
writing. l took the liberty to recon-
mend abstinence from these occupations.
He replied smilingly with an amusing
story, and then added-"lf my eyes
wont study, no eyes for me-" This ia
cctiOusness may seem 10 some who are
unacquainted with the world, not con-
sistent with the great severity OF his the
ology. But nothing is more common
than this apparent self-contradiction.-
/ The ministers, who deal most in terrOrs,
who preach doctrines which ought to
make their flesh creep, and to turn their
eyes into fountains OF tears, are not gem
orally distinguished by their spare forms
or haggard conntenances. They take
the world as easily as other people Of n
milder creed; and this does not show
that they want sincerity or benevolence.
1t only shows how specifically men may
believe in doctrines, which yet they
would shudder to reIinquish. 1t shows
how lhtIe the import Of language, which
is Numbered from the lips, is compre-
hended and .!elt.

.Ship,creck and loss Of s,r persons.-A most
distressing accident occurred on lake Erie,
on Monday night last. Schooner President
Capt. Kennedy, was upset in n squall, when
about nine rnrles below Cleveland, and in
stanty filing, four Of the crew were swept
from the deck and found n wntery grave
The captain and mate, after remaining on the
wreck two days and night, were taken off
in IL very exhausted state, being severely
bruised and wounded, and carried into Cleve-
land, by the schooner Platina. Capt. Ken
nedy, Notwithstanding his own imminent dan
ger and sufferngs retained in his grasp both
the cook and the boy, until both died in his
arms. The former being washed overheard,
Capt. X. ondeavored to lash the body of the
boy, in order, if possible, to send it to Con-
neant, where his parents reside; his Efforts,
however, proved unavailng, and the sea soon
swept it away. The vessel is owned by
Messrs. Smith, Macy and Russell, of this
city, who had no insurance.
