TIE RIGHT SPIRIT. MIR, Ciay's Land ID s.
trbuton Bill, or Bribery Bill as it is more
appropriately termed, passed at the Extra Ses-
sion of Congress, does not appear to be re-
ce,ved with much favor by the American peo-
pie & their Legislatures. We have already sa d
in The Times that South Carolina would refuse
to accept one scent of the proceeds arising
from the sale of the public domain, in The
manner of the Distribution Bill We have
now great pleasure 10 find that the Legis' alure
Of Alabama, by Mr., Baylor, rejecting the
proceeds arising to lha, Stale, from The act a.
bove referred to. The preamble es,er,s that
the act invades the rights of the States, and
that how much soever the views of other States
may differ respecting lie bill, Alabama will
"remain unnfuenced by their action, and new
or by our acceptance of the profered brbe
sanction the dangerous and immoral maxim
that the end justifies the means. We do this
because we hold our honor and independence
above all price, and because we entertain a
fixed and unaierable determination TO main
tain them irrespective Of all future consequent
ees."
1t is further declared that the bill sis a gross
and palpable violation of the constitution of the
Onileu OlateS' distributing as II uoeS under
existing circumstances the revenue arising
from customs, aud that it WILL unless arrested,
pave the way to an assumption of the power on
the part of the General government to se,ze up
on the national treasury for any and for all
purposes, without regard TO the source from
whence its revenues may be derived, and that
it will ultimately make the several States the
stipendiaries and peusioned vassals of a great
central power, thereby carrying into effect The
principles Of old fashioned ultra- Federalism
as proclaimed by the most daring advocates, in
the gloomiest period Of our political history.
The resolutions provide that the Governor
of Alabama shall not receive any of The pro-
ceeds of the sale of public lands, the State
absolutely refusing to take any part thereof
That the representatives in Congress be res
quested to TO use their utmost endeavors 10
secure repeal of the bill.
These proceedings on the part of the Lee
gisature Of Alabama, are worthy of all COM
menda,on. Similar ones should be passed in
our own Legislature, and in every Demo- cratic
Legislature of the Union. Congress should
repeal the bill-PhL Times.

Hudson's tavern, two miles above Chippewa.
Shortly after they left the shore, cries from
the river were heard at Field's Tavern, near
by, but excited no attention, as similar noises
are very common in that quarter from boat

the accident was had Euntil Thursday, when
inquiry began 10 arise, and on Friday, awful
evidence was had of the fate of the boat and
her devoted crew was presented in the frag-
ments found in the eddy below the Falls.

a squall, and being heavily loaded with six
barrels of wbiskey, sunk, the wretched men
