CIVIC VIRTUE.

No citizen says the Rev. Mr.. Brown.
son, has right to say; "My vote 10 my
own, and may give it TO whom please"
The consequences Of his vote do not con-
Germ himself alone. In voting, he acts for
others, no less than for himself. Il is not
then, what he is willing to submit 10 for
himself, that should govern him, but what
he has the right to fasten upon those with
whom he is associated. The citizen
who deposits his vote, should, than, do Il
under a solemn feeling Of his accountable.
Nv both to his fellow others, or subjects.
and 10 the Great Moral Governor Of the
Universe, He, who trifes with his vote,
tribes with sacred trust; he who tribes
with his vote, or suffers it to be tempered
with by others, is as guilty as would be the
Christian who should tr.fie with the most
solemn act Of his religion. He who gives
bis vote tor the r,,arty, or the man, he caI,-
not in conscience approve, and thus aids
in fastening, what he cannot believe but
an I'M. Dry Cd his country. is worse than q
thief and a robber. He is a traitor to his
God, his country and his race. Here, no
more than elsewhere, can there be the
least compromise with his duty, without
guilt. To the citizen, as TO the man God
says, any son, give me thy hcartn We
must be made as citizens to feel this, and
to act accordingly, or all is lost. Wise
aud just government cannot long cocks,
with the utter proaigacy Of the grea. mass
Of our citizens, Tho citizens viii i'm.

Of public spirit and integrity. Our great

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

A joint resolution, submitted by Mr.. PRATT,
was adopted, requiring the Heads of Departments
to report periodically TO Congress inventories of
the amount Of public property in the possession
Of each Department; also, that inventories of the
public property in the Presidential Mansion be
laid before Congress every four years,
Mr.. ADAMS submitted resolution, which
was also adopted, requiring the Clerk of the
House to have printed certain number of CO.
pies Of the laws Of the United States.
The House then w ent into Committee of the
Whole Mr.. Weller in the chair, and took up the
bill granting pensions to the widows of officers
and soldiers of the Revolution. The amendment
of Mr.. Davis Of Kentucky, to include the relics
of soldiers in the Indian wars, was rejected as
was, also, an amendment to confne the benefits
of the bill to such widows as were in destitute
circumstances.
The bill was then laid aside to be reported to
the House, and the Committee took up the bill
for settling private land claims in Louisiana, Ar
kansas, Mississippi, &c.
This bill gave rise to protracted discussion,
which was divided between Messrs. JOHNSON,
CROSS, SLIDELL, VINTON, and WHITE.
Several amendments were made to the bill,
when the hour of o'clock came round; but
without final action upon it, the Committee rose
and the House adjourned.

bill concerning pensions for certain widows
was called up by Mr.. BATES, VINO explained its
provisions. Mr.. b. said that no acts of Congress
were received with more favor than these testi-
monials of national gratitude. The whole num-
Der of widows on the pension roll, as stated by
Mr.. b. is 5,775, at an average pension OF $40.
The bill was ordered to be engrossed.
Mr.. Miller's resolution, submitted yesterday,
concering duties on railroad iron, was taken up.
Mr.. PORTER moved to amend it, by requir-
ing the Secretary of the Treasury to report also
the amount of bonds for these duties now out
standing; to which Mr.. HENDERSON added,
"and the unsalis6ed judgments obtained there
on"
Mr.. EVANS would not object to the proposed
inquiry, but gave notice that he should not wait
for the Secretarys answer in order to call up the
bill to remit the duties on railroad iron.
The resolution was adopted.
The following joint resolutions were adopted !:
To prohibit the sale of Intoxicating liquor with

Mr.. Eldridge.)
Mr.. MOREHEAD then called up the special
order, and
Mr. McDUFFIE addressed the Senate at length
upon his proposed revenue bill. Mr.. Med. open
ed his remarks with deal of complacency. His
bill had been attacked, he said, in all forms, and
with pieces Of all sorts of caibre-in the open
field, and from behind masked batteries; vet
such was the strength Of his position, that he
hoped not only to demolish the entertainments Of
his adversaries but also to drive them from the
field! MIR. Med. endeavored to be extremely
severe upon Mr.. Choate, to whom he first paid
his respects. He characterized Mr.. C.'s histori-
cal review of the protective sys tenn as texture
woven from all kinds of garbled extracts-here
piece OF scarlet from his grandfather's regimen
petlicoat, and there bit of calico from hisnurse's
gown; and he likened his industry in collecting
these extracts now to the humming-bird in the
fower-garden, and now to the butterfly in the
farn-yard. After commenting upon Mr.. C.'s
style, he endeavored to answer his arguments,
and went into the details Of the subject.
Mr.. Med, without concluding his remarks,
yielded to motion that the Senate pass into
Executive session.
