The Senate did not sit today.
IIoUsE OF REFS,

Considerable debate was had relative to
the claim of privilege in connection with Mr..
Glddings and Abolition, concerning certain
remarks which appeared in the Globe. Mr..
GddIngs wished to explain himself, but the
House refused without suspension OF the
rules: the question was taken on suspend
ing the rules and decided in the negative.
On motion of Mr. Dean, the following re-
solution was adopted:
Resolved, That the committee on cleo
tons be instructed 10 inquire into the expo
dlcncy of providing by law that the election
collectors for President and Vice President
of the United States ahall be held on one
and the same. day throughout the several
States of the Union
Several other re solutions of minor mpor-
lance were also adopted and referred.
The question to rccommit the report of
the select committee on rules was t ben IA
ken up. After an animated debate thereon
the Speaker announced that the morn;no
hour had expired.
On motion, the House then resolved itself
into the committee of the whole. on the sub-
icct of the reference of that portion Of the
Presidents message which relates TO the i'm.
proycmcnt Of the western waters. After
some discussion, motion was made 10 rise
and the committee accordingly rose.
Among the several petitions presented.
were the following:
By Dodge, of Wisconsin: Two petitions,
signed by five hundred and fifty citizens O

Secretary Field has been removed. A
Mr.. Floyd has been appointed in his stead.
He had not arrived at Madison nor had he
been heard Of at the latest dates. What the
receipts given by the late Secretary for scrip
are worth, it is difficult TO tell. They rest
solely, it is thought, on his personal rcspon-
sbility, the accounts having probably been
settled at Washington.

The Committee on Territorial Affairs. to
whom was referred the petition of citizens
of Southport, praying that a law NAV be
passed constituting the Town Clerks OF.
fee in said town, the proper office for re-
cordng all deeds, bonds, and mortgages
cffecting real estate, in said town,
REPORT:
That they deem it inexpcdient TO grant
the prayer of the petitioners for tie following
reasons:
That there is now provided at the county
seat of Racine county fire proof registers
office at the public charge, in which all the
records and papers of the coumycan be safe
lv kept without burthcning the county or any
portion of it with the additional expense of
erecting another, which would be required
if the prayer of the petitioners should be
granted. Your committee conceive that the
granting of the prayer of tho petitioners
would be an act of special legislation of
doubtful exped;ency and Of dangerous
precedent. II would doubtlessTbe followed
by applications from different parts Of the
Territory for the locating of clerks Offices
for portions Of country at other places
than at the county seats, which could not
will he resisted if the precedent should
IN this instance be established. The
unity and harmony of the present law
establishing the Registers office at The conn
y sea- III each county IS wisely arranged,
and should not as your committee conceive
be deviated from without the most wejoh,v
and conclusive reasons; and that n cbaoro
from this Uniform rule for local or priyaie
convenience would create confusion and
uncertainty in the examination and Sc
curlty of tiles to real estate which should
outweigh any considerations Of n priva,e
or local nature.
For these and other reasons wb;ch
might be urged, your committee resnect
iu'y recommend mat the prayer Of sa d
petitioners be denied.
Al Of which is submitted.

THE Two KINDS OF PR,YER.-Thc river
that runs slow and keeps by the banks, and
begs leave ofevcry turf to let itpass,is drawn
INTO little hollows, and spreads itself into
small portions and dies with diversion but
when it runs with nervousness and a full
stream,a and breaks down every obstacle max
ing it even as It's own brow,it stays not TO be
tempted with little avocations, and to creep
into holes, but runs into the sea through
full and useful channels. So is mans pray
or; if ii moves upon the feet of an unabatcd
appetite, it wanders into the society of every
rIfling accident, and stays at the corners
ofthe fancy, and talks with every object it
meets, and cannot arrive at heaven: but
where it is carried on the wings of passion
and strong desires, a swift motion ard an
hungry appetite, it passes through all the
intermediate regions ofclouds and stays not
till 1T dweils at the foot of the throne where
mercy sits, and thence sends holy showers
ofrelIcshment,-J. Taylor.
