In the Senate on the 10Th, Mr. Key
ser submitted IL preamble and resolution
reciting that many complaints ar made
against eficers of emigrant vessels run
ming between Panama and San Fran

is caused, and many sick and helpless
emigrants are precipitated upon our

to bring this grievance to the notice Of
the Federal Government, with the view
to the rigid enforcement of the laws
aforesaid and if necessary, to pass such
further laws Ms will serve 10 guard more

and secure TO those travelling In said
vessels, protection to their health and

pays the following tribute the whom the Whigf

Much, ALSO is due to the bene-
fccnt Influence Of Gen. Scott, To tits distinguished
man belongs the honor Of uniting with military ed
ergy and daring the spiritof philanthropst. HIS
oits in the field, tohieh placed him in he first rank Of
soldiers hare been obscued by The pre and lasting
glora Of pacifcaty and FREUD Of mankind. In tn.
he Jsc 3i, the Intercourse of civilized commune
In his recent mission the disturbed borders Of our
counry-he has succeeded, not so much by policy as by
the nobenes and generosity Of his character by moral
influence by the earnest conviction with which he has
enforced on all with whom he had to do the obligations
of patriotism Justice humanity and religion II would
moi be easy to find among who has won Pufer
fame and would do something, matter how little
to hasten the time when the spirit Of Christian humans
ty shall be accounted essential attribute and tho
brightest ornament in public
This is high praise from who never fattered ;
aad il is deserved praise, too. The military glory Of
Cen Scott brilliant as it is, has been matched by his
civil services by the integrity and benevolence Of his
character and the purity Of his private life.

We would witness every day So of our
