TnE BaSKErrT BLL.-We understand that Ken
lucky has instructed her Senators 10 vote for the re.
peal Of the Bankrupt Bl-that Mr. Morehead will obey
and That Mr.. Clay will resign. We further under
stand that the Senators from Virginia will feel bound
for the repeal, and that the Indiana Senators will
be instructed 10 the effect also; but whether they
will will not is another matter. Taking every thing
into consideration and looking at the matter in every
aspect, 10 the conclusion that the Bankrupt
Bill will be repealed in all next week, and that the
President will sign the bill
Another proper Bankrupt Bill nav be passed. but i,
must be made for the whole people and not for few

Most heartily glad are we to say that the right
OF petition has achieved one more triumph; John

il will he found that the resolutions of censure

vote is another demonstration that the mass of the
Wing party is true to the right of petition. The
petition itself was rejected, many voting for its
rejection on the ground that q motion to receive
would render them liable to the charge Of disloy
atty to the Union. This refusal to consure for
presenting petition is so Tar a great triumph |;
but we have to regret that the right oil petition
was not fully acknowledged in the reception and
reference Of the petition itself Mr.. Adams mo-
lion to receive, refer the petition and report the
reasons OF the House against granting the prayer
would have it received md referred, because we
believe the petitioners have n right to demand

effective. This experiment lns proved, nj lenst

Monday last. 1t appears well, and promises to he
instrumental in sustaining and spreading abroad
the work of temperance reform. The editorials
exhibit an ardent spirl-though they go to the
death against every liquor allied to that name and
holly advocate the claims OF cold tcater to the kind

tons, we trust nevertheless that it will maintain
the character OF consistent tee-total temperance

ment of the adies-and three pages of music, by

adding, however, that the typography is of supe-

that among the contributors 10 this number are
Edward Everett minister 10 Engyl and Alexan-
der II. Everett, formerly Of Mass, but now Presi-
dent of one Of the South Western Colleges The
former treats of "Amercan Sculptors in Italy,"
and particularly of Powers, q son of the Green
Mountains For the letter published in our last
relative to this famous artist, American readers are
indebted to Mr.. Everett who translated il, and has
accompanied the translation with an encomastio
notice, concluding thus:
"Will not The State of Vermont assert her Pc
culiar interest in Powers, as the Slate which gave
him birth? North Carolina has gained herself the
highest praise by employing at great expense, the
chisel of an Italian aist, furnish her u statue o!
Washington. If Vermont should call upon her
gifted son 10 execute for her State House statues of
the heroes OF Ticonderoga md Bennington, she
would both do herself lasting honor, and bestow
upon the country works of art which would do no
dscredit to the studio either Of Canova or any liv-
ing sculptor
The suggestion is good, and we hope ere long,
by the munfcenee Of the State, or of individuals,
that such an opportunity will he afforded to Powers
to gather for himself and rehec, upon his native
State, high honor The memory of The heroes of
Tconderoga and Bennington-or of Allen and
Warnor-is worthy to be perpetuated. Vermont
possesses marble adapted to such purpose; in
Powers an artist fully competent; aud wthall
state house, with inches already prepared, fiji to be
the receptacle o? the highest works Of art, Of any
age, ancient or modern.
