Mr.. Seveir moved to take up the resolution
fixing the time of adjourning, but it was voted
down by large majority. Some did not desire
to go until the bankrupt bill was passed or re-
iected others desired to wait till the sub-treasu-
ry was passed; others again, until we should
have definite answer from England, in relation
to the northeastern boundary. The question
was taken by ayes and nays,17 for, and rs against
it.
The bankrupt bill was taken up, when MI
Webster made one of his usually powerful argu-
ments in favor of the voluntary bill, showing
the absolute necessity that existed for the passage
of bill of the kind suggested. The voluntary
principle, he insisted, gave no additional privi-
leges to the debtor, save that of relieving him
from the contract while the creditor had no privi
lege taken from him.
Mr.. w. was listened to with great attention,
and his speech seemed to make powerful effect
on the minds of Senators.
He was followed by Mir. Wright, who still
maintained that corporations and the compulsory
principle should be maintained.
The Senate adjourned over to Monday.

THH PATRONAGE OF THE GOV
ERNMENT

The most glazing act of imposition, which Mr..
Kendall and his partisans are now inAicting up
on the honest yeomanry of this country, is in the
sabsidizing every avenue into which the patron
age of the government has entered, for the pur-
pose of disseminating the Extra Globe. Mr.. Ken
dali is, to be sure, no longer Post Master Gener-
al, but it must be recollected, that every post
master in the country holds his office under his
commission, or by his sufferance, and wo be to
the man who dares to disreg ard his mandates.
In illustration of this position, we copy below,
an editorial article from the New Hampshire Pa
triot, thorough-going administration paper, and
we ask the people of this country, if such an or
der the following, enainating from semIofh-
cial organ under the control of Mr. Hill, and di-
rected as it is to the post masters should be al
lowed to influence their actions, in relation to
the approaching contest.
The efforts which are now made to extend the
circulation of MIR. Kendalls paper are the strong
est evidence of the weakness of the party, and of
their consciousness of the waning fortunes of the
administration. Verify, newspapers must have
great influence over the minds of the people, and
it shall not be our fault, if the conupting infu-
ence of the Extra Globe, backed by all the pa
tronage of the Government, be not fully exposed
to public view. But to the article from the New
Hampshire Patriot.
eEXTRA GLOBE.-We this week present
Mr.. Kendall's Address and prospectus for the Ex-
ira Globe. Every man who can spare dollar
will do we'll to subscribe, and where one cannot
well afford dollar, two or more can join togeth-
er and take it. g. Money left teith as ,1iH be
promptly .forlcGrded, ana any democratic post
master will no doubt render this service to such
as may wish to subscribe, or the amount might be
forwarded directly to either of our Senators or
in Congress, who viii no doubt
attend to the request of any subscriber
The desperate efforts now making by the opposi-
ton, should be met on the part of the democracy,
by the dissemination of truth among the people"

To The Editor of The Pilot.

SIR,-The proclamation of eur worthy Mayor,
offering a reward of one thousand dollars for the
arrest of the murderer of Thomas H. Laughlin,
appears to give the Federal Editor of the Balh-
more Republican considerable uneasiness, II we
are allowed to judge from the editorials in that
paper, wherein he statesEhat the Mayor has no
power or authority given him to issue such a
proclamation. Suppose such be the fact; would
not all good citizens sustain the Mayor in using
every necessary means to arrest the murderer of
one of our valuable citizens. Said Editor also
complains that the proclamation was issued at too
late a day Where was our Governor
Did not jury composed of twelve citizens, rem
der verdict that Laughlin came to his death by
blow on the back of his head, by some person
or persons unknown to said jury. Now presume
this self styled Democrat, will not deny the right
of the Governor to issue his proclamation, offer
ing reward for the arrest of the murderer
Why did he not do 1t Echo, answers, why
