For THE Advertiser.

Mr.. EDiroR lit is said we attack the Sons
of Temperance ndiscrminntely., IT is not so.
We have made it a point distinctly 10 declnre
onr remarks as puinns 10 those uho ,oOuld force
Mcir ultra notions Of temperance upon the COLL
munily by preventing the supply or prnsecu'
ting tile use of wines and liquors. And mas.
much us they Justify their hisf.handed and
overbparing exaclions upon the ground OF the
individual aud national benefits of their Propo'
sed moral reIurmalion OF coiirse we must meet
them upon this platform, and review their sys-
lem which boasts of being the hand-maid of re.
ligion. The public speakersin behalf Of these
moral reformerS have quite taste for denoun-
cing the dealers in wines and liquors, as being
delrauders, swiuders, corrnpters, and accesso-
ries to all denominations. 1t will be found upon
examination that their most rampant aud violent
advocates for this " fire and sword" as u
means have made their fortunes By this very
irnfiick. They seem now 10 think that the
more persccniing. intolerant and ine1orabie
they are, the more they will cover over their
own SINS and the more they will uppcase the
wrath of just and sin avenging God.
Let us assume all their dennnciations against
wine ,railickcrs as being deirauders and so on.
10 be- true upon these premises very egtlmate
arguncntum ad hominem may be established
TO those then who have in pas, time been EN-
gagged in this nelarions trafiick. and to their
children aud grand children who regard the
proceeds thereof as being stolen goods. !" we
would submit few considerations upon the es
tablished doctrine Of restitution, which result
inevitably from these premises.
"This therefore we say and testify that who
socvcr he be whose conscience shall convince
him. that he hath gained any thing by an un.
lawful course, If he rcsOlrc not toresgore il, and
die in that resolution it is impossible he should Dc

instead OF many, almost infinite unauswerable
rsasons we will only make Use of two, each oil
them drawn from the inpossibiI,iy in such
man of performing TWO duties must necessarily
reuured at every mans hands that proiesseth
christianity the one whereof is prayer; the
second repentance. Concerning prayer we
will demonstrate that he can neither seriously
rive God thanks for besowing upon him those
Riches which he calls blessings, nor secondly
desire Gods blessings upon those riches.
For the first, without question, if such an
one shalt dare 10 open his mouthto give God
thanks for his riches it will prove 10 him great
e, sin than the unjust, unlawful gathsrlfS oil
them as the Psamlist sailh his very prayers
shall be turned into sin; for thereby he will en-
title he Just, righteous God unto hisiabominable

signature of The President. As 10 the 9th.
er objection, that The rules require that
The resolu liou shall be read three times on
three several days, unless by The unaniln.
Gus consent oflhe Senate, if such was The
proper construction. il had not hitherto
been enforced. This resolution in print
an extra number, he conceived, did come
more strictly within this rule than did a
resolution 10 print lhe usual number. He
had no recollection Of but single instance
in which lhree several readings had been
required of resolution affecting The con-
.insenl fnnd. aud was resolution provid.
ing Register for The Senate. which, OF
The suggestion Of the Senator from Miss
souri,, had been three times read, before its
passage. He suggested an amendment
of The resolution, so rs 10 provide for the
printing Of ten thousand, instead .uf five
thousand copies, which was accepted by
MIR. Fuoie as a modification.
Mr.. Calhoun thought that five thousand
copies would be ample, but finally wiIhn
drew his opposition 10 the amendment.
Mr.. Berrien opposed The resolution,
though not for the reasons stated by !he
Senator from Missouri. (Mr. Benron.)-
lie did not think is necessary fnr the infor-
nation of the Legislature of Nav York,
who musl already be apprised Of the de-
cisinn. Nor did he think it proper, in
this, manner, for the Senate Of the United
States TO lake apparently an appeal from
the decision of the Supreme Cour oflhe
United States 10 The people of The UniIed
Stalcs.
Mr. Dickinson said the object to be at.
ained-the general dissemination of the
information contained, was Of so much
greater importance Than The mere ques.
lion of expense involved, that he hoped
there would be no opposition 10 the res
blu,ion.
Mr.. Badger defined Tint the adoption
OF the resolution would be considered as
an appeal from the decision of The Su-
preme Court TO the people ofthc United
States. The people had no power to
reverse that decision, and any at'elnp, TO
do so would be revolutionary or disorsan-
izing, 10 which he would never give his
appreciation.
After somo further debate, by Messrs.
r55te, BeTTien, BRrie7; and Hunter, the
resolution, as modified was adopted by
yeas and nays-22 10 II.
Mr.. Fouie submitted resolution, which
lies over under the rules, aulhorising the
delivery Of 500 copies Of the geological
report of David Dale Owen, already print.

missioner of The general land Office, for
the use of that bureau, and directing the
printing of 1000 additional copies for The
use OF the Senate.

"Norr.J vs.. The City Of fBoslon" and "Smilh
vs.. Turner" annulIins certain laws OF
New York and Massachusetts, and in re-
gard TO em;srant passengers, came up 10
orJer.
Mr.. Benton opposed the resolution on
the ground that this was exclusively an
executive aud not legislative session Of
the Senate. and that by the rules such q
resolution was in The nature of a bill,
which required three several readings on
three several days unless otherwise or
dered by the unanimous voice Of Senate.
Mr.. Webster said that resolution had
been adopted month ago, to prinl the
usual number fur the use Of the Senate,
and he concurred fully with the Senator
from Mississippi as 10 the necessity ofprint-
ing the extra number, if this can be pro.
perly done within the rules Of The Senale.
The importan, constitutional question upon
which the Judges had decided, rendered
their decision interesting 10 the people of
the whole Union. The Reports Of The
decisions of The Supreme Court, as or.
dinarily published reach but few Of the
profession. and scarcely any Of The people.
Mr.. Seward sail that in 10 the por or New

upon emigrants had become intoerable.
BY The recent decision, the whole system,
adopted by The Senate had been subvert'
ed, and enisranIs were now. frequently
left in state Of great deslilu'ion. Tho
Legislature Of that Stale was now in ses.
sion, and desired 10 know what can be
done to remedy the evil, that they may
net before their adjournment. lie was IN
favor of the resolution. because it would
enable him to transmit, at All early day,
important Information 10 the Legislature
though he concurred mainly in the views
Of the Senator from Missouri as to the
policy which should be pursued in regard
to the Contingent Fund.
MIR. Foote was perfectly aware that
there had been enormous expenditure:
from The contingent fund; but for this, he
fer one was not responsible. lie was per.
fccrIy willing lha, any one who was; should
take such portion OF this remark to himself
ifho considered it applicable. 1t nigh, be
tie taste of some to expend This fund Ir
reconnoissances. maps. &c, while other:
nigh, think il moro for The interests o
the country to disseminate important lega
information.
Mr.. Badger also, for reasons which he
stated, deemed the adoption of The resolu,
lion improlani, and that FIVE thousand
would not be sufficient number. He
argued that the objections of The Senator
from Missouri were no, we'll, founded, con-
tending that if was perfectly competent

Congressional Proceedings.
w - I'LL Ia


The President nominated Alessrs. Evans
of Maine, Payne, Of N. C., and Gales b.
Smith, Of Indiana, as. Commissioners un-
der the Mexican Treaty. The selection
is excellent IN every point Of view. The
same objection has been raised against the
nomination of Mr.. Smith that was raised
against Mr.. Sewer 10 new Office. The
office of Commissioner TO mark the boun-
Diary line, to which Col. Sewer was nom.
mated, was created during the term for
which he was elected. The constitutional
inhibition was plain in his case, for his
term of service for which he was elected
had moi expired. The inhibilion operates
upon Two thirds Of the Senate; but not up
on the one third whose terms expire every
TWO years. 1t does not-apply 10 the Reps
resentatives whose terms OF service expired
with the late Congress, and il does not,
,heref,re, apply to Mr.. Smith. This, at
least has been The construction Of the Con-
s,ituIional clause, on this subject, for the
last thirty years, by every administration.
Another list of nominations was sent
in:o the Senale, to-day. Some Of the
Offices ahouI 10 become vacant have been
filled by denominations of The same in
cumbeuls, though Democrats. This shows
that there is to be no prescription in the
usual sense Of that term.
Very few removals are TO be made at
prescn-noue in the Diplomatic Service;
aud very few men in the departments
here. About The first of July, there may
be general movement, at hume aud
abroad, for the purpose Of elevaling The
standard Of appointment.
Mr. Ewing as Secretary of The Home
Department, will have great patronage.
He brings under his appointing power the
bureaus of Patents, Lands and Indians.
He considers all officers now employed in
those bureaus as acting by courtesy; hut al
some time those Offices will be declared
vacant, and the Secretary will proceed to
fill Them by original appointments, or res
appointments.
The discussion of Judge Shields case
was continued io-day. Mr.. Calhoun
strongly expressed his opinion that Gen.
Shields was no! ~SE1ar0F and could not
he asenaIor at any time, under his late
election; because, on the 4th OF March,
when his term Of service commenced, he
was ineligible. The election was void, in
bis opinion.
This was evidently The opinion Of The
majority Of The Senate. But, still, much
debate was kept up on the subject Gen.
Shields, at his desk. wrote line, and hand.
ed j, to the Vice President. 1t was his
resignation of his seat. From the Begin
ming he did not intend, lie says, 10 oppose
the report or question it, but go back 10 his
constituents. To relieve the Senate from
tedious discussion, he rendered his rcsig>
nation. This was read, and Mr.. Hale
moved that the Vice President inform the
Governor of The Slate ofIlliuois Of the va
.cancs., The question now arose, whether
The. .Sena,e would allow Gen. Shields 10
