DR.. WEBSTER IN JAIL.-We learn that
Dr.. Webster has made frequent complain 8
to Mr.. Andrews the jailor, that the occu-
pants of the cells in his immediate vicinity
are in the habit Of shouting out to him at
nights, uttering ali sorts OF unkind epithe,s,
such as 'sYou're the man that cut up DR..
Parkman," "You're a murderer,"-
"You're blood-thirsty scoundrel," &c !,
&c. Mr.. Andrews had no other knowledge
Of this matter except wha: he heard from
DR.. Webster. He one night placed two
men in the passage way that leads to the
cells, where they remained until morning,
but heard no unusual or unpleasant noises.
The day following this the doctor repeated
his complaint to Mr. Andrews, saying that
sslast night the same outrnges had been re
peated;" Mr. Andrews knowing this not
10 be true, of course concludes that the
Doctors Imagination is SO wrought upon. or
that his dreams are Of such on unpleas ant
character as TO produce mental alteration

WAsHlNGToN, Jan 10, 1850.
The Sarery Dsbate in the Senate-Ad
mission Of California, Nsac MeIico and
Dsseret-Fugitire &ares-CterksAfp
Of the House, &c. T.,

The discussion that is going on in the
Senate upon the anti slavery resolutions Of
the Legislature Of Vermont, anticipates
much that would be said upon any propo-
si,lon for the prohibition Of slavery in The
territories. The whole question pending
between the North and the South is brought
into view. Judge that there is disposi
ton in the Senate 10 continue this debate
indefinitely, in the absence Of other EN-.
ployment. The Southern Senltors are
prepared TO say that the South will resist
direct legislative interference with he.
rights, by prohibiting slavery in the new
territories; but only a portion of them 90
so far rs to declare that the South will re-
sisi the admission Of California os State
with her se!f-imposed restriction Of slavery.
1t will be a very long time, as imagine,
before the matter will come 10 point.
The result during the present session,
though prolonged till August, will evidently
be the admission Of California as State,
and the postponement Of all propositions
for any territorial government for New
Mexico and Deseret. This is precisely
the plan Of the administration-'he plan
recommended by Gen. Taylor. The I'D.
vantage of this scheme is, that it will enn-
ole the Northern Senators 10 dodge the
Wilmot Proviso question, as they are desi-
rons Of doing; for, if brought up 10 ''face
the n,usic," they must vote for tho proyiso.
By delerring notion on the territorial ques-
lion, another advantage is gained-the COM
munities in New Mexico and IN Desere,
may flourish to such an exten, as will give
them before long, claim for admission as
States, and they can then decide the guee.
ton of slavery for themselves.
1t is true, also, hat some of the Southern
Senators will persist in their demand that
the Northern States shall repeal certain
laws which obstruct the arrest and delivery
of fugitive slaves. A demand by the South
for State legislation in aid Of the constitu-
tional provision for the recovery Of slaves,
would not be met. 1t would be impossible
TO obtain such laws. But an equally di-
rect mode Of attaining the object is to pass
the bill now before the Judiciary Commit.
tee, which makes it the duty Of the United
States officers, The postmnsters, collectors
and others, to arrest and deliver fugitives.
Whether this act will pass or not, is anoth'
er thing. 1t will pass the Senate, and do
not see upon what ground the Northern
members of the House can resist it. They
cannot do it without countenancing null
LITIGATION of constitutional provision,
which was pronounced by the late Chief
Justice, Baldwin 10 be the cornerstone Of
that instrument.

GREAT EXCITEMENT IN COLUMBUS
Columbus, Ohio, January II, 1850.
The greatest confusion prevailed in the
Senate to-day. A Resolution was passed
giving Johnson, Dem :, seat from Hamil-
ton county, till the matter was decided but
( decided that he should not vote on any ques.
ton touching his own case. Subsequently
a Resolution was offered several times to re-
move the Speaker from the Chair, which the
! Speaker decided out Of order, and refused te
entertain an appeal. @
/ The Speaker announced the Standing
Committees. The Democrats denied tht
right to do SO. The greatest confusion ye
/ prevails at times.
Adjourned at late hour.

On Yesterday in Senate, Mr.. Byers took
an appeal from the decision Of the chair,
for ruling as out of order, resolution Of
fered by Mr.. Dennison, when another
question was pending before the Senate.
This appeal, the Speakerdecided out Of or.
der! Messrs. Byers, Burns, Chase, and
others, showed the Speaker up in so strong
q light, thet even Mr.. Dennison was alarm
ed at the proposition in which his misera-
be dupe had placed himself, and in reply
to Mr.. Byers, MIR. Dennison denied that
the Speaker had made any such decision.
The Speaker proiessed 10 have misunder.
stood the object Of the appeal, and Mr.. By
ers having reduced the point of order to
writing, the Speaker having read it, then
backed out from the decision, and declared
the appeal in order. Messrs. Beaver,
Eckley, Vinal, and other whig leaders
were sorely chagrined lbereat, and they
made speeches, to show that the decision Of
the Speaker, would be overruled by the
Senate, and that then the question cauld
be on reversing former decision of this
officer in ruling out Of order, the resolu-
tions of MIR. Swift TO dismiss the Seek
er from the chair, and That being done,
the resolution of Mr.. Swift would then be
before the Senate and action thereon must
be had. In this the Speaker saw his own
fate, and he then declared the appeal of
Mr.. Byers out Of order, because, as he
said, he mad mistaken its objectl Thus
