Mr.. Turney, from the Committee on Patents,
reported bill to extend the patent of Jethro
Wood, and, having been read twice,
Mr.. Allen moved to strike out the enacting
clause. Lost-l6 to &c. The bill was then
passed over informally.
Mr.. Benton gave notice that he would to-
morrow ask leave to introduce bill to amend
the sixty-fr and ninety fifth rules of the
articles of war.
The Ten Regiments bill was then taking up.
Mr.. DIX addressed the Senate. Left in ses-
sion.
HousE.-Mr. Donnel's motion to reconsid-
er the vote on the resolution closing the de-
bate on the Presidents annual message being
first in order,
Mr.. Cobb moved to lay the motion on the
table.
Mr.. Boyd moved a call of the House, upon
which the Yeas and Nays were ordered, and
the motion was lost, Il to lis. The question
then REQUIRED upon the motion to lay on the
table, and the Yeas and Nays being ordered
it was lost, SO 10 100
The Yeas and Nays were then ordered on
the question of reconsidering the resolution,
and resulted: Yeas, l02 Nays, 9S.
The original resolution being thus recon
sdered, the question of its passage came up,
closing the debate at ? O'clock
Mr.. Ashmun moved to lay the resolution
on the table, and on this motion the Yeas and
Nays were again called. Yeas los, Nays 9S.
1t was accordingly laid on the table.

Eastward 1.-The Star of Empire holds
it's way"

Whatever may be said against Gov. Dana,
he cannot, like Gen. Worth, be charged with
ingratitude The Eastern folks made him
Governor, and he in return bestows all the Of
fees on them. Thus Bangor has been honored
with the appointment of the new Senator, al
though President Polk requested the Govern
Or to appoint Nathan Clifford; and now the
Attorney Generalship is given to Bangor
man, although the west and centre presented
many whose's claims to the Office were GER
tainly equal to those of the successful candl-
date. Perhaps, however, the Governor con-
siders that a certain affair which came off at
Augusta few years ago, gives Mr.. Blake a
claim on Democratic regard, support and SYM
pathy, such as none of his competitors can
present, to say nothing of the claims of graft
tude.
The northern tribune. [volume] (Bath, Me.) 1847-1855, 1848-01-31
Mr.. Clay in Tennessee.

At meeting of the citizens of Wilson
county, the Wing banner county in Tennes-
see a series of resolutions was presented, full
" endorsing the principles expounded, and
the policy recommended in Mr.. Clays Lex
ington speech and resolutions, as sound, wise,
and patriotic. They zealously opposed the
acquisition, by conquest, of Mexican territory
and concluded as follows:
I'll Resolved, That while we regard Mr..
Clay as the greatest living statesman the man
who would "rather be RIGHT than be PREsl-
pENT'-and pre- eminently entitled to the
confidence of the American people for any
trust, we will yet support any good Wing ana
true, whom majority of our party may select
as THE Wing candidate for the Presidency.
Ex-Governor Jones urged the ado ton OF
the resolution, sin his own forcible and mimi
table style
lie said he was still Wing, and ready, as
he always had been, to rally and fight under
the old banner Wing principles were un-
changed-so was he. Although he had not
recently been engaged in politics, bat had
been devvting his energies of late to the ac'
CONS lishment of different object, in which
Tennessee however, was not the less interest
ed-meaning the Nashville and Chattanooga
Railroad-his ear had recently caught the
tones of an old and familiar voice, as they
were waited in breeZes of patriotism from the
plains of Kentucky--he was aroused from his
lethargy What Wing ever heard that voice
unmoved? 1t was the voice of his old Cap
tain, under whom he had served in the Young
Hickory JVars-that voice had never yet given
an uncertain sound never alarmed when
there was safety, nor peace when danger was
approaching. He gloried in rallying under
such veteran COMMUNICATIVE was one OF
the old Wing Guards who did not? No where
is such one to be found. Let us but hear
the trumpet tones of that patriotic voice at
the head of the column, and catch but glance
of the sparkling eve of our Captain, and every
bosom swells with ecstatic rapture every
heart beats higher with patriotism. Yes TEL
low citizens, he continued, whenever l see
that same Old Wing Banner unfurled by Hen
ry Clay !-displaying the same long cherished
principles-to it must and tcW rally; though
l stood solitary and alone, under that banner
l intend to battle, and if I fall, may its folds
be my winding sheet. - Cheers.)

The French.

The French are not the people they have
been represented. We have been too much
in the habit of looking at them through En-
elsh distortions. The masses are earnest,
frugal and industrious, and they are simple
hearted and generous people. Like the Irish,
they may be easily provoked, but they are
never implacable and revengeful like the
Spaniards. On the contrary they are kind
and fcrgiving in their tempers. And it is
certain that the energy and activity of Amer-
cans would make them much worse people
than the French, if there was the same desti-
tuition of religious and moral principle here
that there is in France. Baird.
