While he was for fearlessly maintaining our ma

our compact obligations and preserving an unsul-
lied faith. There was no balsam yet discovered
that could cure the ulcer Of violated national
honor; and no art that could repair the wreck OF
fallen national reputation.
Mr. n favored the recommittal of the bill, in
order to It's amendment, so as TO comply with the
wishes of gentlemen on all sides
Mr. McDUFFIE obtained the floor, and the
Senate went into Executive Session.
In the House., Mr.. RUSSELL OF Ohio, asked
leave to offer resolution fixing after the 29th INST
the daily hour of meeting at o'clock A. NJ;
out objections being made, 1t was NOT received.
Various reports were made-among those OF
Importance were the following:
By Mr. ADAMS, from the COMMITTEES on Foreign
Affairs, bills to provide for the future intercourse
of the United States with the Government OF the
Hawaiian or Sandwich Islands, and with China.
By Mr. HALsTEp, from the Committee OF tlec-

history of the attendant circumstances challenging
parallel in the history of civilized governments to
the continued acts of most aggravated cruelty and
unnecessary and tyrannical oppression, committed
by Gen. Jackson in connection with his proclama-
ton of martial law at New-Orleans, and arguing
that it was only in accordance with the acquisitions
of imperative official duty that Judge Hall issued
the writ of hebeas corpus. He considered all the
i h. IS |
latures and Of gentlemen here, for the immediate
passage Of this BILL but as bids for the political
favor of Gen. Jackson, in confirmation OF which
he noticed the fact of the remarkable change and
stiffness since the publication of Gan. Jacksons
letter, declaring for MIR. Vaa Buren,, of the gentle
man from Mass, (Mr. Cushng) who had been in
such hot haste pass the bill before the 9Th jan
uary, and of other gentlemen, &c.
The subjec, lies
The Senate bill for the relief of the Petersburg
Railroad Company (to extend the time for laying
down its iron, which under the tariff act is exempt
from duty if laid down prior to March 3, '43,)
gave rise to some discussion. Messrs. CARY of
Va, PlCKEss, Boris and others advocated its
immediate passage, contending that it would take
no money out of the Treasury, the iron having
already been imported, but that the effect of re-
fusing TO pass it would be to compel the Company
at great expense and under untavorable circum-
stances to lay down the iron before March.
Messrs. CUSHING and SALroNsTALL said that
without SEINE such legal provision as this, the
Northern Railroad Companies would be obliged at
this season of the year TO lay down their iron,
which would necessarily be q, increased expense,
and in an unsubstantal manner, endangering the
lives of passengers over their roads. They wished
the general bill on this subject taken up and act
ed on.
Mr.. FILLMORE doubted the policy of thus repeal
ing by piecemeal the tariff act by exemptiug from
duty most important article and was not satisfied
that sufficient time had not already been given for
the accommodation of these companies. He voted
the reference at least OF the bill for further CON-
sideration.
MIR. RANDOLPH opposed the bill.
The sublet was laid over.
Mr.. GARRET DAYS. of Ky. introduced bill for
the retrenchment of the expenditures of the New.
York Custom House, proposing to reduce the
number of clerks and the expenses about one
third.
After some conversation as to the reference, &C.
motion of Mr.. CUsHIs5 to lay the bill on the Ia
bic failed: Yeas So; Nays l65, and it was re-
ferrsd to the Committee of the Whole on the
Union.
The anh-Exchequer esoutcn was opposed at
some length by Mr.. CUSHING, who exhibited the
beauties and excellencies of the plan reported by
him and urged the duty of action on the subject
Mr.. BARNARD has the floor.
The House adjourned. ARGUS.
