The reNvss

Mr.. Huntcr made another long speech ia the
United States Senate, yesterday, in opposition to
the arprow tation for additional pay to the Collins
steamships His remarks were ably combatted by
Mr.. Rus,S of Texas. The Virginia Senator appears
Ia have taken some pains to give an impression
that this wps entirely sectional affair, which
calculated to bolster mp The commerce of New York
at the expense OF Philadelphia This is ground
less theory. The people Of the whole country, and

struggle fer supremacy on the is matter Of
national importance. The Collins vessels have
gained for MS the supremacy, and il now rests with
Congress whether shall retain il.
More lrnd was yesterday agreed to be given by

Michigan. The body also passed the Wisconsin
asilrosA land bills. All the bills of this kind viii

system.

remarked that il would be much betterto establish
