A VALUABLE TESTIMONY.

Welike, at all times, to give credit when cred
it is due. and if at the same time we can relieve
the distressed, we are doubly gratifed, We there

great respect for the skill OF the medical profess

named medicine, Immediately after the close of

were almost dried up by the highly ratified atmos-
pherc of our stove warmed State House. The
BalSam Immediately relieved us of most har-

The veto on the French Spoliation bill

The veto on the French Spoliation bill
was read.
Mr.. J. M. Clayton said it was the first time

ercise OF the veto power, if sustained, placed
the claims OF our citizens in the hands OF one
man, without appeal. Ancient democracy
sought 10 restrain executive power-modern
democracy seeks TO enlarge it.
Mr.. Webster protested agains The veto and
Messrs. Dix and Benton sustained il. The

CLOSING SCENES OF THE sEssIoN-civiL AND
DIPLOMATIC BILL.
A Message from the President Of the
United States was received IN reference 10
Peace with Mexico. The reading of the
Message WIS called for on all sides of the
chamber and was listened 10 with profound
interest. IT proved 10 be literal iulliment
of villa, wrote YOU, as to the designs Of the
Executive, his Message TO the Senate, and
the advice of the Senate in reference TO ii. 1t
is as follows:
To the Senate and House Of Representa-
tircs oftte United States:
Invite YOUR attention TO the prOpriety OF
making IA appropriation for any expenditures
which it may he necessary 10 make in ad-
vance, for the purpose Of settling ali our dill
cuIties with The Mexican Republic. 1t is my
sincere desire 10 terminate, as ii was, orig
inally. to avoid. the existing war with Mexico,
bva nsace inst and honorable to both parties
II IS possible that The chief obstacle TO he
surtpoun,ed in accomplishing this desirable
object will he the adjustment Of a boundary
between the two republics, which shall prove
satisfactory and convenient 10 both, or such as
neither wili.hereafter be inclined 10 disturb.
la the adjustment of this boundary we ought
to pay fir equivalent for any concession
which may be made by Mexico. Under the
circumstances. aud considering the other
complicated questions 10 be se1lled by neso-
tia,ion with the Mexican Republic, deem II
important that 4 sum of money should be
placed under the control of the Executive, TO
be advanced. if need be. 10 the Executive oil
that Republic, Immediately after the ratib-
cation Of a treaty. 1t might be announcement
fer the Mexican Government to wait for the
whole sum, the payment of which may be
stipulated by this treaty, until 1t would be
ratified by our Senate, or an application to
czrryit INTO effect be made by Congress. In
daed, The necessity OF the delay might defeat
the object altogether. The disbursement Of
the money would of course beaccounted for
not as secret service money. but like other
expenditures. JAMES X. POLK
Mr. Holmes, of s. c., expressed great sat
israction at the receipt of the message, which
has just been read.

TIE BRITISH RILL-THE BRITISH
PARTY.

The new Tariff is in more senses than
one British bill, and we intend heuceforth
to designate its supporters as the British
partv' In doing so, we do NOT mean 10 inn
peach the patriotism Of any man who honest
IL believes the law TO be good one: we DO
mean that the law itself comedies with the
views Of the British government-ihat ii
abandons the policy which is essential To the
independence of the United States, and which
was established BY the fathers Of this nation
for that reason-lhat it wideGs the field for
British Capital. British Commerce and Brit
ish Iabor-and that every man who supports
the law, KNOWING such 10 be its character, is
treacherous TO his country, to his kindred,
and 10 his own interests. We give little
testimony to the point Watchmab.
TESTIMONY OF SENATOR CANE
RON.
Senator Cameron Of Pennsylvania, dem
ecrat, said:
If the bill had been drawn DO a British
Statesman, it could not have Disseminated
more in favor of British workmen.'
TESTIMONY OF SENATOR NILES.
When the final question was about to be
put in the Senate, we find the following in
the report Of proceedings:
Mr. Niles (democrat) rose and moved that
the farther consideration of this DILL be post
poneJ till the first Monday in December
next. He said there were BRITISH
AGENTS HANGING ABOUT THIS
CHAMBER TRYING TO FORCE
THROUGH THIS MEASURE TO
BREAK DOWN OUR OWN MANIAC
TURES. He called upon the Northern
Democrats to stand by him. He called upon
them without much hope to be sure. The
interests now at stake were two or three hun
dred per cent greater than those at stake
when the Finance Question shook tho whole
country.
TESTIMONY OF MR.. PAYNE ALA
BAMA.
The object Of this bill is to INCREASE
IMPORTATIONSoFFO REIGN GOODS.
Remember
That Mr.. Payne, of Alabama, when asked
where the country would get revenue, re-
pied. Easy enough-re shall consume
FOREIGN goods instead Of goods made at

In East Middlebury, on the 90 ulf., Edwin
A. son Of Hiram G. and Be.sey E. Sessions,
aged 2 years and months and 2 days.
Dear Edwin, we bid thee Farewell
Whom oft we embraced in our arms,
And loved thee, ali how can We tell!
For precious 10 US were thy charms.
We laid thy fair body to rest
In its lowly and peaceful abode,
And though our fond hearth were district,
We resign'd thy pure spirit to God.
Yet where in the regions light,
Oh where, tell us, is thy sweet home!
1t is in the pure mansions so bright,
Where angels and seraphims roam7
We feel thee too precious TO die,
And vanish in volatile air,
Like thought, or a tear, or a sigh,
That is gone, All gone! but o where7
Oh mol we shall meet thee again,
Dear Edwin with those we deplore,
"One family in heav'n, " to reign,
And our God and Redeemer adore K H.
In this village on the 18th inst, Martha
Luellen infant daughter of William B. and
Lucy S. Fox, aged months and 2 days.
Weep not for her though she has gone,
Think not her Saviour call'd too soon;
For he who gave the blessed boon,
Has taken no,hi ng but his own.
Forever free from grief and pain.
She died blessed home to gain;
Her weary soul has now found rest,
Forever in her saivour's breast.
Calm be thy thoughts when ere they roam,
On her who slumbers in the tomb
For it was GOD that calld thy child,
Unto his will be reconciled. J. Z. d.
