Iu the Senate this morning, Mr.. Cal
houn presented the proceedings of large
meeting Of the Republicans Of Norfolk
county. Virginia, in relation TO the meas
ures Of the Extra Session. They are in
strong and decided language, and the righ,
of repeal is asserted in the following:
"Resoired. That. like the Democracy
Of the olden time. who aroused the people
to sense Of their danger, hurled The mar
auders from power, repealed the Alien and
Sedilion laws, and rescued The consti,u-
iiou from desccra,ion aud outrage, we
pledge ourselves. should Congress pass
any law establishing National Bank.

or assuming the State debts, never 10 relax
our exertions until these unconstitutional
and dangerous enactnIen's shall be ex-
plunged from our statute books, and the
sanclily Of our national compact be vinti-
Gated and maintained"
After The proceedings had been read,
Mr.. Calhoun moved that they be printed,
which was agreed ia---slr. Clay ;icquies-
cling. evidently beips convinced Of the
fruillessnoss OF his efforts TO gag the free
men Of the land. A motion of inquiry re-
lative 10 some business connected with
the Post office department was offered
which gave rise TO an incident debate,
in which much complain. was uttered by
various Senators of the irregular;,v aud
ineiliciency Of The operations Of The de-
par,ment.
The Laud bill was taken up and an a.
mendment offered proposing TO equalizc
the donations Of lands to The new States,
so as to bring them all up 10 the amour,
received by Ohio.
This, after an animated debate, was
los,-aycs l9, noes %.
Several other unimporianl amendments
were offered, which occupied the Senate
until late hour. 4 motion was then
made 10 adjourn over until Monday, for
the avowed object Of giving M opporruni-
Iy to members for visiting the Ship Della
ware.
Mr.. Berrien, who has been selected as
"my man Charles" these two days past,
(Mr. Preston aud Mr.. MauSum being evil
deutly dis,rus,ed aud discardcd,) opposed
the motion, and demanded the yeas aud
Eays, when il was withdrawn. This was
no doubt an ebulliIion Of Mr.. Claws spleen.
TO prevent President Tyler playing the
"Ceasar with the Senate az his heels."-
The President has, however, wisely de-
terniued not 10 leave the city in The pre-
seui condition Of public affairs.

Mr.. Wise denounced this shuiIiing in
