TO be rs valid in our America as il was
IN the great republic of antiquity. bor-
row the thought, not the language of Ci-
oero' IN his pleading for the poet Archias,
when place the citizen who becomes so
by law and choice, on an equal footing
with the citizen who becomes so by
chance. And, in the instance now before
us, we may say tina! our adopted citizen
has repaid us for the liberai,y of our
laws: that he has added to the stock Of
our national character by the con,rbu-
tons which he has brought to i, in the
purity of his private life-the eminencs
OF his public services-the ardor of his
patriotism. and the elegant productions Of
his mind.
And here let me say-and | say it
with pride and satisfaction--our deceas-
ed brother senator loved and admired hi.
adopted country. with love and admlra-
ton increasing with his age, and with his
better knowledge of the countries of the
Old World. A few years ago, and after
'o h"u oO'alhSu BitHl hONOF anu fortune
in this country, he returned on a visit to
his native land, and to the continent, of
Europe. 1t was an occasion Of honest
exnllaIion for the orphan emigrant boy TO
return TO the land of his fathers, rich in
the goods of this life, and clothed with
the hOnors Of the American Senate. But
the visit was a melancholy one to him.
His soul sickened at the state of his fell
low man in the Old World q had it from
his own lips J and he reinrned from tha,
visit with stronger feelings than ever in
favor of his adopted country. New
honor awaited him here--tha, of second
election to the American Senate. But Of
this he was not permitted to taste and
the proceedings Of this day announce his
second brief elevation TO this body, and
his departure from itthIough the gloomy
portals of death, and the radiant temple
Of enduring fame.

Correspondence Of the Free Trader.

WAsnISGroS, Jan. %, IS4i.
Messrs. Hse & OmGH-
The senate has cut of no more heads, this
week but it is thought the guillo,ine has only
stopped 10 ret. The general opinion is that all
democrats will be executed, and that the wings
are sorry they did not behead Nelson as attorney
general, who IS Van Buren, man Of the strongest
kind The former part Of the week, the senate
was engaged on the tariff. Evans, of Maine, ap-
pears to be the whig champion.
On Thursday, the Oregon question was intro
duced by Judge Sempe, but the wings thought it
very imprudent to say anything on the subject
as our government going to make a treaty :
|, adjourned over Friday and Saturday, as it gene
rally does, You may ask why the senate adjourns
50 often for several days at time, whilst the
house sits every day. The anIwer is, that nei
ther house can adjourn for a longer period than
three days without pint resolution of tho others
which the house would not consent to. The
wings cannot say the senate has no business be-
fore it, because Jackson's fine has not been acted
I
body is thus neodessly odjourning over days at
Tine when they should be at work. Such is the
strong wing majority in the senate. The demo-
Gratis can have no influence in counleractng ils
action.
In the house, on Friday, John @. Adams and
e. J. IngersoIl, had another spa,, which lasted all
6ay Inpersoll arDsp in the morning IN conn
pluin of the injustice done him by some Of the
wing letter writers. Thereupon, Adams, who
never lets an opportunity slip of provoking IngeT-
soil, arose, endorsed the letter writers, and took
the quarrel off their hands. Then IngersolI made
long speech about Adams, and Adams replied.
IngersolI rejoined, and thus the whole day was
consumed, as a good many others are through the
medlesomencss and malice of John q. Adams.
Saturday was taken up in discussing private
bills, but none were passed.
