REMARKS UPON THE ABOVE, by OUR
CORRESPONDENT.

The above appears TO be an entirely
new hypothesis of the origin and spread
of the human race. 1t is stated and urg.
ed with much ingenuity, but can only be
considered IS plausible conjecture, no
admitting any proof.

CONGRESS,

Our dates from Washington are up to
the 18th uk. Mr.. Adams, Chairman OF
the Committee OF the House on The Ore
goa Bill, reported unfavorab'y to it.
In the Senate, Mr.. McDuffie's resoll.
tions in relation to finance, tariff and State
debts, have been under discussion. Mr..
Dayton Of New Jersey, spoke in favor Of
an amendment, which declares "wbile the
government deplores the misguided policy
OF those States which have embarrassed
themselves, it declines all liability, legal.
ly or morally" DC. Mr.. Riyes offered
resolutions on this subject declaring that
an assumption Of the debts of the States
would be violation Of the constitution,
aud further declaring that the States will
exert their energies to redeem their en-
gagements. Mr.. Rives called upon the
Senate to dispel the delusion under which
foreign States and creditors labored in re-
ference 10 this subject Mr.. Merrick, Mr..
Conrad and Mr.. Henderson, all wings,
were opposed to the further consideration
Of the subject and wished it waived. MIR.
Calhoun and Mr.. Woodbury. thought the
subject Of vastly more importance than
any that had ever been brought before
Congress. They regarded it as a simple
question whether the federatiye character
OF the government should be preserved or
destroyed. Messrs. Walker, King, Allen
and Bagby also spoke against assumption,
direct or indirect. The resolutions were
then laid over, till the LIST Monday of De-
ccmter next, BY strict party vote, as 70.

that great efforts are making of the u. S

government to open a negotiation tor the
assumption or liquidation of these debts BY

held on the End I've beieve) Of this month
We have noticed the proceedings OF sever
al OF the county meetings called for the
purpose of sending delegates to the gen.
eral Convention, but have seen but two in
which any preference was expressed fol
the presidency. These two are the meet.
ings held in Princess Anne county, and
Norfolk, Of both Of which, Mr.. CALHOUN
was the choice. At the meeting at Nor.
iolk the following resolutions were adopt
ed +:
Re;olred, That our delegates to said
convention be instructed to resist any pro.
position to send state delegates to the pro.
posed general convention, that they assist
upon representatives icing appointed .a1-
medlately By the people, as the only GER.
tain mode TO effect clear expression Of
the popular choice.
ResolCed, That our delegates be further
Instructed topropose and recommend tina,
In general convention each state be emit.
tied to the number Of votes corresponding
with It's cUDgr1Ssiv" IopIsssn,~';nn, and
that the nominee Tor the Presidency shall
be the candidate receiving the largest mum,
Der Of electoral votes taken per capita, and
not by states.
Resolred, That the virtues OF the citizen
and The sagaci,y of the statesman are pre-.
emnently conspicuous in the character OF
JOHN c. CALHOUN, that TO his timely
and efficient aid is to be attributed much
to The late success of democracy TO rise
with vigor from their fall and that wheth-
er regard is had for the importance of the
office or the merits of the man, but equal
honor will be done TO both, in presenting
for nomination the great sta esman of the
south, who for thirty years in peace and
in war, has devoted his splendid talents
to mankind, the integrity of the union, the
rights Of the states, and the sovereignty o.
the people,"
Tho meeting held in Princess Anne,
adopted the following;
Resolred, That Of the prominent men
spoken Of as suitable candidates for the
presidential chair, we find none so well
calculated as JOHN C. CALHOUN, to
carry out fully the views of the democra
cy, and especially to Recommend and pro.
mote Just measures for the increase of our
commerce and the restoration of a sound
currency; we shall therefore give him
our hearty support, unless some olher
democratic candidate should be regularly
nominated in q properly Instituted general
assembly.
Rrsolced, Tina, our delegates be instruc-
ed to oppose all effris 10 have the pro-
,osed national convention composed Of
tate delegations and to insist upon the
light and duty OF the people OF the several
ounties to name their own representatives
b said convention, as the only sure means
, insure a fair expression Of the popular
ill.
Since putting the above in type, we
ave seen the proceeding of the Democrat.
, meeting held at Portsmouth, Va, at
which was expressed the like preference
or JOHN C. CALHOUN.

That mans chief duty upon hi,

That We deem it highly important.
