Ina IN the Senate, was this morning reier-
red to the Judiciary commN'ee, that motion
having beer made by Mr.. Cntlenden. The
reference was opposed by the democ' as asst u
khow0 that The bill will be reported back with
an amendment panegyr zing Judge Hall al the
expense Of Old Hickory; IN which case The
democrats will feel themselves bound 10 vote
aRans, the bill, as they did at the las, session.
Is 1t not strange that the same party which In
troduced at the last session bill to pay The
heirs Of General Hull for the time during which
he aud the Michigan Territory we're under the
British authority, by his own Aagrant suren-
der, ,he same as # he had been the bo-
IA 65e Governor under the authority of the
United States, should qulbbe, and qualify, so
much respecting the petty indemnify to the de
fender OF the South, for money actually sacri-
feed 10 thai dsfence2 We cannot account for
1t, except from The most factious spirit OF pre-
iu1ce, and malev Olence, aud ranking hatred
toward the old chef Tha Senate, after the
reference, went ino executive buslness-up-
on those nominations we suspect, to which we
referred in late etters 90 extremely doubtful
OF confirmation:
HOUSE uESREPREsENTATivEs--M Mr. Wise in
tYoduc6I the resolution of the Vifgnaa Legis-
.Atufe, instructing their Senators and dreqoesse
ng their Representatives to vote for the IndenIA
ity Of Gen. Jackson, and was proceeding to
ONE re- marks in favor ofthe indemnify, but
was intercepted by the hammer Of the Speaker
rs being out Of order.
M. Morrow gave notice Of his intention to
introduce bill amendatory of the secoh I'D sec-
ton Of the superintendent bi-some further
restrictions, we suppose, upon the States, IN
the provisions Of the district feature.
Mr.. Everetrs bill to repeal the bankrupt
Law, with sundry motions TO refer with in
slruc,ons, was announced as the special orr
der. Mr.. SaltoDslall, with the desperation of
man appealing for life upon the scaffold, ad-
vocated the bankrupt law. II was a goJd law;
but it's good effects had no, yet been felt. Ii
had not had faW lrial-It had only been ten
months in exiStence-no just opinion Of its
beneficial character could yet be formed, &c.
Gen. Dawson of La. though, the law bad
one, but that 1t oUgh. rather 10 be amended
chan repealed.
Mr.. Gushing hoped that il he law were to
be repealed, that the legal existence OF The law
under the provisions of lis passage would be
secured which would extend ito privileges an
other twelve month or nearly, according 10 the
argument ofths learned gentleman. He should
vote for the reference. He presented a mo-
mortal from Philadelphia, in support Of bic po-
sitions. Mr.. Gushing delivered himself ofa
very satisfactory eulogy upon the character Of
the House. II was the safety valve Of the
nation, Tbut it lets off too much sleam;] there
was no deberalive body on earlh like IT, IL
was certainly superior in ito merits to the
House ofCommons Of England, or the Cham
der of Deputies of France. These "remarks
were made in answer to the TRADE Of dispar~
sagement Of Mr.. Arnold Of Tenn, last week.
Mr.. c. referred, also, to the terms of denun-
Citations uttered by Arnold, against "PIesident
Tyler. The shortness OF the session-ihe bu
stress Of the country, required different
,courseof action 10 this House, than mere per~
.sonal warfare. Mr. Cushing descanted upon
thehistoty Of parties, ''and their shifting fela-
tons; and how they are always broken to- pie
ces when they strike against the rock Of the
edsral cousl tuition. Here, said he, is one par-
~, %unt TO peices, and another looking on
and st hing, while we are destroying oursel-

Mr.. CossS;os,Csoncefved it his fret duty TO ask,
How shall the 'Government'be carried QUIZ
add that the highest conoituJional duty Of the
president in such an emergency as the present
vixen the President cannot find men to co-op-
crate with him among the wings, was 10 seek
such men and take them from their adversares
Mr.. Gushing touched upon the next presiden-
Tcy. He didn't knew how many candidates
there were in the field. A voice--"6ve"]
[Anorhe. vvice--'I think there be Blk Rich
tnonds,ia the 6ed!] [AnOlher voice-' 'here
are seven, sir-yes, there are seveu.' Give
us the names give US the list! There were
10 be two Couventions-a democratic and a
whig Convention. From present indications,
1t was probable that there would not be the
greatest spirit Of harmony 10 these couven-
items. There wasno one man among these
candidates possessing pre-eminent, unquali-
fed, and unqueslioned power. In thissat o
things, therefore, it would not be judICous foI
either party to wage very feroCouswar upor
the Administration. Unanimous laughter
There vas aupo.eulial power vested ia tht
hands Of the federal executive; groater, inf
nitety, than the power of patronage; II was thC
power over the legislation Of the country
