After some business Of minor importance
had been done, Mr.. Benton reported from
the military committee, with amendments q
bill from the House, to authorize the Pre-
sideut to accept the service, of Volunteers
&c. and moved that the bill be taken up.
Upon this motion considerable debate arose,
il, which Mcssrs Preston, Clay, Benton,
Porter, Buchanan, and CLAYTON took part.
1t was contended on the one side that the
bill ought to be disposed Of early on &C.
count Of the unsettled State of Texas on
our borders, and the sanguinary character
of the war carried on there. Although
there was actually no evidence that Santa
Anna designs to make any breach OF
neutrality, yet such a thing was possible,
and .he country ought to bcprepared for 1t.
That there were 25O,O00 savages in an cx-
citable state who might in very short time
be thrown upon the delenceless frontier OF
Arkansas and Missouri. On the other
hand it was contended that more full In
formation on the subject was necessary
before the Senate could act intelligently.
The motion to take up the bilwas lost.
LAND BILL.
After which the land bill was taken up.
Mr.. Benton made speech against It.
The question was then taken and the bill
passed its third and last reading by vote

Ma. TYLER.--It will be seen by the card OF
this gentleman. which we publish to day, that
he has been compelled, by the fierce ragings OF
party strife, to resign his seat in the Senate OF
the United States. The caese Of his resignation
was the Instruction resolutions passed by the
legislature of Virginia, by which he was re
quested to introduce and vote for palpable vio-
lation Of the constitution. Sooner .han comply
with this reqnisition, he has yielded up his
place, and retired to the shades of private life,
to witness, without being able to prevent it, the
mutilaton of the records Of his country, 10 APP
pease the greedy and unccasing appetite of par
ty, which aims at nothing beg ond the gratiica-
ton Of personal hatred or political revenge. 1t
is thought, We doubt not, that mutilating the
records. or "expuuging" their offensive parts,
by drawing black lines around and writing over
them, will have the effect of whitening the acts
of the executive, and making them appear fair to
the view of posterity; but let the expugers not
mistake themselves. The usurpations& lawless
acts of the Executive, have become matters Of
history they are chronicled as among the facts
of the age, and recorded in a manner, and in pla-
ces, where the expuuging process can never
reach or obliterate them.

SOMETHING ABOUT EXPUNGING.

WASHINGTON, March l.,
A few words upon the doctrine Of" ex
punging" legislative acts. 1t has been
beautifully said that " History is the
teaching Of Truth by example" Our own
national history is full Of such teaching:
and beg the attention Of the reader 10
that passage of it, and TO comment upon,
as a peculiarly appropriate lesson for the
present times.
Ia the year l16S. 'he Province Of Mas
sachusetts Bay" addressed circular letter
to the Speakers Of Assembly in the seve
raj Colonies, upon the subject of certain
acts oil Parliament then recently passed,
imposing duties and taxes on the Amer.
can Provinces. This paper, like all the
rest Of that character and of that time,
was drawn up by JAMES OTs Of Massa.

that bis "great learning, quickness, keen
perception, bold and powerful reasoning,

every measure, and in relation to whom

great CHATHAM afterwards, it would have
been as arbitrary. | will not say that II
would have extlnguished civil g. religion:
liberty on eaEth, but it would nave gone
great lengths towards it."
This "circular letter" contained respect
fol but strong anImadVersons upon the
tyranuical and oppressive conduct oil
Great Britain towards the Colonies, and
soon after the Governor (Bernard) of Mas
sachusetts, transmitted TO the House oil
Representatives, a reguisItion of the pre-
mier, (Lctd 4lllsborough, J that the House

penai,v for refusing was to be the immedi
