FROM CANADA.
From the Montreal Gazette, Feb. 1.


It is understood that dispatches were received
at Kingston, on the 9th ult, conveying her
MWesty's approval Of all the measures Of HIS
Excelcncy the Governor General, and an assur-
ance that in the pursuance Of the same policy he
may rely on the cordial support Of the Ministers
Of the Crown. .,s4 81
The attempt made by Mr.. Buchanan, TO ar
range the difficulties between the Cork and Con
naught men or the Welland canal, has proved
failure A great number Of the Connaught men
met him according to Invitation, but the Cork
men absented themselves Those present were
addressed by the Warden Of the District, and
Priest MDonaugh. An effort is now making to
induce them to give up their arms.
1t is calculated that there are 5000 men and
as many women and children on the line of the
canal, and that by no possibility can employment
be found for more than 5000. H$ER
The latest intelligence we have states that
number of Scotch stonecutters, WHO were at work
in quarries, have been almost beaten to death,
and have been warned to give up work, or to
procure their collins; and threatening notices,
couched in the most diabnlicai language, are put
up daily. 5..

Mr.. THOMPSON, of Miss. continued the de-
bate on this subject. He would not occupy

the land. He denied the power to Congress to
dstrctsthe States. The people were the source
of all power, and in their own States, in their own
way, could define the time, place, and manner OF
eecting their representatives. II the power
claimed for Congress were to be exercised, it
would excite the alarm of the people If Con-
gress could declare for district system,i could
also define the districts, and, with a corrupt ma
iority and compliant President, might accom-
plish almost any amount of evil. tie warned
members 10 pause before deciding upon this ques
ton, as the decision might involve dismember-
ment of the Union @oE helf.f
Mr.. STEPHENS, of Ga, next took the floor,
and made speech which was received with
marked attention.
He replied to the gentleman who preceded
( him, and argued that Congress had the right to
district the States. This was the plain inter-
probation of the Constitution, and the opinion of
its wisest commentators, rN 6Ht

opinions he did, could consent to hold seat from
one of the States that had not complied with the
law Of Congress. His answer was, that in a
question Of so much magnitude it belonged to
CONGRESS- TO decide upon the validity of its law.
His Judgment was submitted TO this House. who
