JOSEPH ROE,

The case of this individual, convicted
last August of burning the Congregational
Church in this place, came up before
the Supreme Court, at its late session,
on exceptions to the proceedings in
the court below. The case was argued
at great ,cngth and with much ability By
Mcssrs. ADAMS and Peck for the prison.
cr, and Mcssrs. Mack and kAssoN, for
the government. The proceedings in the
County Court, however, were sustained,
and Roe has been sentenced to FIVE years
imprisonment: And here we cannot
omit to express our surprise at SUch a sem
tcncc. 1t is in our estimation perfect
burlcsquc on the idea of measuring punish
mcnt by the cnormity of crime. Here
was an individual convicted of a crime OF
the highest magnitudc-to which the law
has attached the scvcrcst penalty short OF
dcath--convictcd too, by testimony SO
conclusive thai the jury hardly lolt THEN
seats and yet the court has seen fit &c
visit such a conviction with the mcres
punishment awarded to petty crimes
Indeed. at thc worry time oil! passing thi,
sentence upon Roe, simple fellow who
had been caught with counterfeit bill in
his pocket, and who pleaded guilty and
threw himscll'upon the mercy Of the court
was sentenced to toHr years imprisonment.
-Four years for passing a counterfeit bill
and frc for burning town. What else
is this but a bounty on arson! and, what
a triling with the feelings and interests OF
acommunitywhosc temples and workshops
have one after another, in rapid success

Mr.. BENTON submitted the following resolution,
which lies one day for considerations:
Rcsolrcd, That the President Of the United States
be requested 10 cause to be communicated 10 the Senate,
at The commencement of the next stated session OF
Congress, a report showing the number Of soldiers en-.
listed into the army of the United States, and entitled
to bounty land, during the late war with Great Britain,
designating those who were entitled 10 320 acres from
those who were entitled 10 100 acres; also, the number
of warrants which have been drawn and satisfied luI
each of said quantities; also, the number of warrants
undrawn or unsatisfcd at this time, with the names Of
the soldiers entitled 10 receive the same, and how far II
may appear from the rolls of the army that they have
died in the service, or been discharged honorably, oil
otherwise.
On motion of Mr.. PIERCE, III bill to regulate the
paw Of the officers of the line and .af of the army was
taken up, and explained and advoc ted by Mr.. 7.
Mr.. WILLIAMS thought til; there was hardly
time enough left Of this session } act on this bill in
both Houses, and that it would better TO postpone
it to the next session. He was Il favor Of equaGzing
the pay of the officers of ,he line md the staff, but he
thought that object could be bette attained by giving
them a fixed salary in lieu of al. allowances, as con.
templated by the resolution Of the Senator from AR
kansas (Mr. Sevier.l
MIR. BUCHANAN suggested to the Senator from
New Hampshire, to let the bill lie over for the present
The Senator had entirely convinced him mir. B. thai
there ought to be an equalization of the officers of The
staff and line of the army; but the Senator himself hao
expressed the opinion that this subject could not DC
satisfactorily acted on TINS session. tie would therefore
suggest to the gentleman, that it would be better to lei
the subject lie over till the next session, when they
would have the information required from the Wa
Department by the resolution of the gentleman from
Arkansas.
After some remarks from Mr.. PIERCE, the bill was
laid on the table.
On motion of Mr.. KING, the Senate took up and
considered, as IN committee of the whole, the bill to au.
thorize the Secretary of the Treasury to procure steam
vessels fof The revenue service; and, after some re-
marks in explanation from Mr.. K. il was ordered to be
engrossed for a third reading.
NORTHEASTERN BOUNDARY.
The following message was received from the Presi.
dent Of the United States, by Mr.. A. Van Buren,, his
Secretary:
To the Senate:
The Importance ofthe subject to the tranquility ofour
country makes it proper that should communicate tc
the Senate, in addition to the information heretofore
transmitted in reply to their resolution Of the 18th o

'OEN. RhlSo n 1 IshhpI.
In the Recorder of the 4h inst. we published an artI.
Gle. a column in length, under the above heading, co.
pied from the Washington Globe, giving the par,icu-
lars of a street rencounter of Gen. Harrison with Gen.
Hale, a member of the Methodist Church in Cincin-
natl.
1t was Mr.. Buchanan's explanation Of Harrison $ par.
t~icipation in making this act a law of the Territory, and
its effects upon poor citizens that caused the candidate
Of Federalism for the Presidency to make use of the
blasphemous language attributed to HIM on that occa-
sion. No sooner was the account made public at a dis
lance from the place where it occurred, than the Fede.
raj leaders gave their followers the cue, and it was pro.
nounced a newspaper fabrication coined for political et
feet. Such has been the case in this county. It's tai
sity has been openly asserted. A dispute arose upon
The subject in the town of Windham, and one OF the
oar,ies concerned, MIR Strong, to satisfy himself anc
friends more fully, addressed a letter of enquiry to Gen
Hale, whose answer confirms all that has been publish
cd. The following is the correspondence:
