PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS.
Sirfh Week of The Session.
FROM OUR REPORTER.

Congress has been extremely animated this
week. Two separate whirlwinds have whirled
up in both branches. Mr.. Calhoun's noble reso-
lutions in the Senate, and the extraordinary at
tack upon the Caroline by McNab's English sol
diers, in the House.
Mr.. Clay lin the Senate) delivered great
speech, and offered amendments to the original
propositions of Mr.. CALHOUN; but as yet the
subject lies open, and may continue to do SO un-
til the Senators tire of hearing each others sweet
voices The resolutions being abstract propo-
sitions, afford fine field for all the Senators to
discuss, and away they dash, regardless of the
great interests of the country. An American
Senate debating the slave question, which is set
tied to every honest mind in the land; when our
citizens are murdered on the northern frontier,
and at the south our gallant officers are falling
by the hands of savages too noble in natures high
feelings to leave their native land, though war
may forever ring through their hammocks, and
its fires blaze around their dwellings,. The
Seminole Indians have fought for high place in
history; and because they dress in the skins Of
deers, the pen of the historian should not pass
lightly by their sublime courage and their irwin
chile love Of their natal eart-butlet it pass gently
and forgivingly by the deeds Of our Congress,
which debates abstract questions at their leisure,
in such time of general gloom and dread.
blame all parties alike: the Administration
and the Opposition; for they are nothing to me,
as parties. They are the representatives of the
people, and should throw aside the garb of parti-
zanship when they take their seats as counsellors
for the whole American people.
| am forced to leave out much that | had pre-
pared; indeed it would be impossible for me to
write out at length, every thing that transpres in
the two Halls; nor would you find room to pub
lish their proceedings.

SPIRIT OF THE LAw.-The following eulogy
Southern Literary Messenger:
"The spirit of the law is all equity and Justice,
In government based on true principles the law
is he sole sovereign of nation. Itwatches over
its subjects in their business, their recreation and
their Sleep 1t guards their fortunes their lives,
and their honors. In the broad MONDAY and the
dark midnight, it ministers to their security It
accompanies them to the altar and the estal board.
1t watches over the ship of the merchant, though
thousand leagues intervene; over the seed of the
husbandman abandoned for season to the earth:
the studies of the student, the labors Of the
mechanic, the opinions of every man. None are
high enough to offend it with impunty, none so
low that 1t scorns to protect them. 1t is throned
with the King and sits in the seat Of the Repub-
lican Magisrate but it also hovers over the couch
of the lovely, and stands sentinel at the prison.
scrupulousy preserving to the feon whatever
rights he has not forfeited. The light of the law
ilIumines the palace and the hoyel, and surrounds
the cradle and the bier. The strength of the law
laughs wickedness to scorn, and spurns the in
trenchments of iniquty. The power of the law
crushes the power of man, and strips wealth of
unrighteous immunity. It's the thread of Dada-
lus to guide through the labyrinths of cunning.
1t is the spear of Ithurel to detect faIsehood and
deceit 1t is the faith of the martyr to shield us
from the fires of persecution-it is the good man
reliance-the wicked ones dread-the bulwark
of piety-the upholder of morality-the guardian
of right-the distributor of justice--ts power is
irresstable-its dominion indisputabe 1t is
above us, around us, and within us-we cannot
fly from its protecton-we cannot avert its ven
geance.
Such is the law in its essence; such it should
be in its enactments; such, too, it would be, if
none aspired to its administration but those with
pure hearts, enlarged views, and cultivated
minds.'

"CHARLES COUNTY,"
From The. Boston american.

Above we present our readers with the Pre-
ambe to the Constitution of the United States
Native American Association at Washington City
Ii contains many important truths, and should
aroase the spirit of every American to join hand
and heart in the cause. The importance of an
entire and efficient organization throughout the
Union is every day made manifest. Foreign in
fuence strides giant-like across the country, and
we are called upon to oppose it. Shall we be
found wanting! Will we suffer the tIme-hal-
lowed institutions of our forefathers to be pros
trated! Can we look with contented eve upon
the acts performed around us, and behold without
a sigh stone after stone hurled from the temple
and to our liberties? No! across the wide extent
of our country, from the lakes to the Gulf, voice
calls upon Americans to be up and doing. In
all places Native Americanism is cheered as the
bulwark of liberty, and will Bostonians be back
wardl We believe not. This party is destined
to supercede all others Under its banners every
true patriot will stand; nor is the time far distan
when the Native American will be found opposed
by hordes Of organized foreigners. Power, ac
cumulating every day, through the weakness o
our own laws and too liberal indulgences of ou
people, will soon be exerted against us. We are
nursing viper in our bosom, and are every mo-
ment in danger from its venom. Let our citi
zens awake and form a Boston Native American
Association. Much can be done by the influenc,
of combination. Let those, therefore, favorabl,
to the organization Of this association, be read,
to attend meeting that will be called in a shor
time, to act on the subject.

IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT.

Governor VANCE of Ohio, in his late excellent
Message to the General Assembly of that State,
makes the following observations on the subject
of imprisonment for debt:
imprisonment for debtappears to have attracted
the attention of the benevolent and humane por-
ton of society throughout every Government adj
vanced in the scale of civilization. That it is a
relic of barbarism, that ought to be struck from
the code of civilized nations, is what have long
believed. In the observations that have been
able to make upon this subject have never dis
covered that it has been carried into execution but
on two principles of action; the first to CRAFTY
malice, and the second, to force the debt of the
unfortunate out of some humane benevolent friend
that would not see old acquaintance. who
perhaps had seen better days, incarcerated in the
prison house. Your attention is earnestly soI;.
cited to this subject, under the firm belief that the
year 1887 will close the period in our State b;s-
tory, when to be unfortunate in debt, is criminal
offence"

VALUABLE IMPROVEMENT.

We yesterday examined the drawings Of an
improvement just completed by Messrs. Fair
lamb q Judson, of Philadelphia, which promises
to be of great utility, both in the preservation of
life and property.
1t consists of an improved, baa a safety guard
clamp, spring leuers, to guide locomotives and
cars from one track of railroad to another, with
out the trouble, or the aid of ssOitchcs; and a
double maiuersal joint, which dispenses entirely
with the precautions dependent upon the king
bolt.
The bunt graduates the concussioa attendant
upon locomotive, &c. when they come in con-
tact. 1t is also calculated for steamboat wharves,
and other situations where force is to be graduated
when two bodies come in contact.
The safety guard clamps, secure the cars and
passengers from danger in case an axle or all the
axles break simultaneously. With these car
may be run with perfect security without any
axles, with no more friction than that of car
riage running on common roads.
By the aid Of these improved levers, cars may
be guided from one track of railway to another,
without the use of switches.
The universal Joint is used instead of the king
or body bolt; produces complete and perfect
vibration; cannot well be broken; preserves the
equilibrium of the body of the car or carriage,
and is by far more durable than the king bolt,
anu PcricCuy Sdic III dil locomotives Will SIX OF
more wheels, and should be upon every vehicle
with four or more wheels, both for safety and
economy. Messrs. Fairlamb g. Judson well
deserve the patronage of all concerned in rail-
roads, stage and omnibus lines, and carriages.
This whole improvement seems based upon
scientific and sound mechanical principles, is
plain, simple, durable, and not expensive.
All exertions that are made, and more espe-
cialy those that are successfully made, to lessen
the dangers of human lffe, are praiseworthy, and
merit the gratitude of every citizen.-U. S. Gaz.
The native American., 1838-01-13

NEwsPAPERs.-JudgeL Longstreet, of Georgia
says: "Small is the sum required to patronize a
newspaper, and amply .remunerated is the patron.
care not how humble and unpretending is the
gazette he takes. 1t is next to impossible to fill
sheet fifty-two times year, without putting in
to it something that is worth the subscription
price. Every parent whose son is off from him
at school should be supplied with a newspaper.
! well remember what marked difference there
was between those Of my schoolmates who had,
and those who had not, access to newspapers.
Other things equal, the first was always decidedly
superior to the last, in debate, and composition
at least A newspaper is history of current
events, as well as a copious and interesting mis-
cellany, which youths will peruse with delight
when they will peruse nothing else.''

ANOTHER AFFRAY-The editor of the Com
mercial Herald, Mr.. Jno. F. Carter, at New Or
leans, having spoken contemptuously Of the char
acter of Mr.. McHenry, a lawyer, the latter on
the same morning, December 30, came into the
office of the former for the author, and after being
told to call at noon, did so. The editor then
armed himself, and Mr.. McHenry came and
struck him over the head, to which a r.joinder
was received in the shape Of pistol ball, which
did not take effect. The lawyer fired and then
the editor again, both without effect, except that
the gentleman of the bar had his hat perforated,
who now got behind the imposing stone for for
tress, and fired second time and shot the editor
in the leg, not dangerously, there being onls
three slugs in the calf. Each gentleman had his
friends, who politely abstaned from any inter
ference-N. 7. W'hig
