HON. ABBOTT LAWRENCE.

We copy, with peculiar pleasure, the following
notice of the distinguished representative of
Boston, and express our cordial concurrence in
all that is said OF his character and services.
From The Boston Atlas
We learn that our distinguished Representative in
Congress, the Hon. Abbott Lawrence, has far re-
covered his health and strength that he expects TO be
able to return again to the City of Washington be
fore the close OF the present session OF Congress The
absence Of no man in the House is much TO be re-
GREETED as that Of Mr.. Lawrence. The high position
which he occupies gives him great power over that
turbulent and disorderly assembly lie can calm the
political tempest and quiet the angry waves of partisan
feeling by a single word of Cancellation and effect
more GOOD by a brief speech of fifteen minutes dura-
ton than could be accomplished by as many weeks of
hot debate He rarely addresses the House at much
length and never rises unless he has something i'm
portant to say Hence his remarkable power the
members and the fixed attention given to his remarks
He is universally beloved and respected by both par
ties and is regarded more in the light of kind and
benevolent patron and counsellor than as of the
His services in the national assembly therefore would
be OF peculiar value al this time But while his CON
stituens and the people at large must sincerely re-
gret his absence from the House for long period
thew cannot but deeply sympathise with him in the Sc
we're affection under which he has suffered II has
been more painful to him, we have doubt to be pre-
vented from performing his public duties than has
been to suffer the ills of sickness and his earnest de
sire to return his to the House has in reality
retarded his recovery. We think speak the heart
felt sentiments Of a community which entcr,ans the
strongest feelings OF respect and affection for Mr. Law
renee when say, that much the people of his
district regret the loss of his valuable services as
member OF the national council they would feel still
deeper degree of regret if he should be induced by
regard for their interests TO return TO the Capitol in
feeble state Of health and should thus bring on re-
lapse Of disease which has reduced him almost to the
eree o. -" ,Sa, hc vi; na,;any NM, car ~, H.
ton Of his health regardless Of all public business
and that he will live long among us, TO be blessing
to his constituents, TO the nation, and the world

UNITED STATES SENATE,

TUESDAY June %
The joint resolution to pay Langtree & o'sullivsn
the balance unpaid Of $4,000 for 800 copies of the Ma
olson papers IL they had not been destroyed by fire
having been read third time
A discussion of some length followed, by Messrs
Porter, Wall, Davis, Tappan, Southland, and Bucha-
nan Mr. Tappan thought Langtree q O'Sullivan
ought not to replace the books From this Mr. Wall
differed others doubted and on other points on
mons diverse
On motion of Mr. DAVIS the resolution was re
committed that the committee might report the facts
as they now exist and report resolution in accord
with those facts
The bill for the relief Of the sure,ies of Archibald
Snead, deceased, and the bill for the punishment oi
certain crimes against the United States were consi-
dercd in Committee of the Whole, and after being
cxplanc, and amended, were sevcrally ordered to be-
engrossed.
SYSTEM or BANKRUPTCY.
The Senate resumed the consideration Of the hill
to establish uniform system Of bankruptcy through
out the United States.
Mr., PRENTlSS spoke al some length, on the pc
neral merits Of the bill He drew the distinction h..
tween nsovent laws and bankrupt laws, which dis.
tncton he argued prevailed in England till long after
the adoption of the Constitution in this country He
argued from this and from other considerations and
documents, that the power Of bankruptcy in the Con
stitution merely supplemental part of the power
commerce; and that bankrupt law Therefore
ought TO be confined to the commercial classes and
should be carefully made TO equal justice debtor and
creditor.
While Mr. P admitted that this bin might be pro.
ductiyc of highly beneficial and desirable results il
would inevitably open wide the way for various evils
which Mr. 2. specified, the chief of which the
introduction and practice of frauds, Oh the whole
Mr. y. dared not try it, even an experiment for
he was greatly apprehens,ve that Il would work
voution Of the worst kind both IN the morals and bu
sincss of the country
The question being on the amendments submitted nv
Mr. Wright
His first amendment requiring the bankrupt debtor
To give as far he could list of his creditors with
the amount due 10 each and an inventory of his pro
pcrty agreed To with little objection rcdund
ant
His second amendment was TO compel debtor To
become bankrupt, IL his arrest or imprisonment OF
the attachment Of his property he should give
lawful bail or security within twenty days This
amendment was discussed al some length Nv Mcssrs
Wright and Wall for il, and by Mcssrs Hunting
ton, Crittenden, Walker Webster, and Phelps
against Il especially going beyond cases Of fraud 70
which the committee had aimed 10 confne the com
pulsory part of the bill

ANOTHER ATTEMPT TO TRAhiPIE ON THE RULES OF TIiE
HOUSE TO ACCOMPLISH A,PARTY OBJECT
Mr. CLIFFORD, Of Maine, thorough going Fc-
deral Loco Foco, offered resolution to-day proposing
that the Sub Treasury bill shall be taken out OF Com
mite Of the Whole, on Friday next whether the dis
cussion shall by that time, be brought to close not
and that the bill shall he made the special order for
Saturday next in the Honse
This is attempt directly to alter the rule which
allows the utmost latitude of discussion of every
measure that is referred to the Committee OF the
Whole
Objection was made, OF course TO so tyrannical
project by the watchful Republicans of the House
Mr.. CLIFFORD moved to suspend the rules
The motion rejected.
There is not the slightest necessity for such change
OF the standing rules, and uniform practice If the
debate shall be ended--it no member wishes 10 speak
further-the bill can be taken of committee on FRI
day without this resolution and it cannot be reported
TO the House before the debate is ended without am in
fraction Of the rule
