THURSDAY, Jan'y TO-
In the Sepatc, Mr. Clay presented the petition
of "m A y, lawyer Of News York, who
some 20 years ago recovered certain Jewels from
thief who had stolen them from one Of the Prin-
ces of Holland. (the Prince after making large
oneEs ioF their recovery, offered Mr. Seely only a
P't'fut sum- and now asks the Congress to oay
him suitable reward. and deduct the amount
from the monies due Holland, for the debt Of
Washington city. We were surprised to find Mr.
Clay advocating proposition OF this SORT
Mr. King of Alabama. opposed any such action
money due from this government to Holland, on
account Of the debt Of Washington city, he said
was due t. certain ei.izens Of Holland, who had
loaned their money to the authorities of Wash
ington; and it would he rank injustice to make
of one of their princes.
Mr. Clay said he under the impression that
a part Of the money was due to the Government
of Holland; if it was not, he would agree with
Mr. King, that it ought no to be used in that wav
The petition was referred to the Committee on
Finance.
The Vermont resolutions about slavery were
then taken up. Mr. Chase, an Ohio free-soiler.
and Mr. Hale the New Hampshire ditto, Mr. Bat.
ter OF South Carolina, and others, Joined in de-
bate. In reply to some remarks Mr. Chase, Mr.
Butler stated that when the slaves of John RAN |
dolph were emancipated, tract Of land was
bought in Ohio for them. at cost Of So, 900
and when they went to Ohio, from Virginia, to
settle on it, the white people, armed, drove them
back across the Ohio river. Mr. Chase attempt
ed to deny this, but did not establish his denial
1s,s ne sa,a that those negroes were living in Ohio
purchased for them, and that there was no deny-
ing the historical fact that they had been driven
from Ohio; but if they had gone there rum
away slaves. they would have been allowed to
stay, and their master could not have taken them
away. Such the morality of Ohio abolition
ism.
The resolutions again laid over, and the
Senate adjourned till Monday.
In the House. the only business done was the
several times tor Clerk. But no cleo
tion took place.
