MIR. Giddings,s District.

The Ashtabula Telegraph published in the
district represented by the Hon. Mr.. Giddings,
Of Ohio, pays the following deserved compli-
rnent to Hon. Lewis d. Campbell, who has re-
Gently incurred the displeasure Of his colleague
HoS. L. d. CAMpBELI-The stand taken by
this gentleman is one which every true American
must approve From the first a prominent candi-
date for Speaker, when he found that he drew of
votes, which, If given to Others might add to the
probabilities of the election of Speaker, he with
drew his name from the contest. Of his strong
antislavery sentiments, no one who has watched
his course in the House can doubt. Unawed by
frowns, he has pursued the course of freeman,
and trne representative Of free constituency.
When he saw that an organization could not be ef-
fected, he was willing to lay aside his personal pre-
ference in order to effect it.
His address, in declining any longer to be a
candidate, will long be remembered by the Ameri-
can people. Unwilling to pledge himself to any
party, that he would grant them particular favors
or give up principles, which he held as sacred and
believed to be based on the welfare of the coun-
try he freely gave up the honors of office, and
tired to the ranks. As such he ever will be re-
membered by the American people. Esteemed
and honored by his friends and respected by his
opponents, he must remain as he now is, one Of
Ohio's favorite sons, notwithstanding the hume
rous efforts, which are now making by those who
are unable to appreciate his patriotism, to lessen
him in public esteem.
:" Not long ago, these same persons We're landing
him to the Skies for his noble stand on the Nebras
ka question. He stands there STILL but cannot
think and act with them in all things, and is will
ing to suffer from such attacks long he is con
fident of being right. We admire the stand he hat
taken, and believe that he will be sustained by the
calm and rejecting portion of the community"

THIRTY-FoURTH CONGRESS,
FIRST SESSION.
SENATE.
MONDAY, February 4, 1853.

moNDAfs reDTuhIy II 1000.
A communication was received and read from
the Governor of Illinois, in which he protested
against LYMAN TRUMBULL being allowed to occupy
seat in the United States Senate as Senator from
that State, stating that although elected, in conse-
quence of his holding at that time the Office of
Judge, he could not legally, during his term of
Office, be elected to that office. s@
Mr.. TRUMBULL had no objection to the refer
ence of the communication to the appropriate
committee; but he stated that he had resigned his
Office Judge year and half before his election
as Senator, which fact the Governor seemed to
have overlooked or pretermitted.
Petitions on various subjects were now present.
ed, and referred TO appropriate committees.
Mr. T00hBS presented the petition of a lieu
tenant, asking restoration of naval rank.
Mr.. t. thought the Board had exceeded their
powers, as they had retired and dismissed officers
from the navy, and had kept no record Of their
proceedings which was contrary to the laws of the
country and the navy.
Mr.. MALLORY defended the action Of the Sec.
retarylof the Navy.
Mr.. CLAYTON thought that the Naval Board
should not be blamed for the wrong done to officers
They did nothing. The President and the Secrs-
tary of the Navy were the executive power, and
they were TO blame IL wrong had been done.
Mr.. C0LLAMER presented another petition
from lieutenant in the navy, who was retired by
the Board asking that his case be referred TO the
Judiciary Committee az he considered that he had
been dismissed contrary to law.
A message was received from the President
Mr.. MALLORY objected TO Interference Of the
petition 10 the Committee on the Judiciary, as he
knew that they would not report on the constitu-
tionality Of the law until they knew how the law

was executed He further stated, that the ressous
for which the Board had removed or retired ON
GERS, had been given to the President md Secre-
tary, and that those reasons had been approved.
Mr.. CoLLAMER then asked that the petition
be referred to the COMMITTEES on Naval Affairs,
after saying that he thought "retired list should
have been formed long ago, 70 which old and dis
abled officers could be retired without loss Of honor
TO them.
Mr.. T0OMBS said that when the report Of the
Committee on Naval Affairs should be made, he
should attempt to prove that the Board had trans
cended their powers, in sitting as a secret court
martial, and that the Secretary of the Navy had
hanscended his powers in the instructions which
he gave.
Mr. CLAYTON was speaking on the subject
when we went to prees.

City Loan.

The Republican Of last week finally yen
lures defence Of the policy OF the proposed
city loan, and, as might be imagined, pro-
duces arguments to show the absurdity oil
which il is only necessary to state them
The city expenses, the editor says, already
greatly exceed its revenue; the orders ON
its treasury, which bear ten per cent. intc'
rest, are dcpre lated far below the tacc-va-
lue; higher taxes, at present are mn to be
thought of; therefore we will borrow 500
000, saddliug upon the treasury an addition
al burthen nearly equal to our present reve.
nue. to take care of the loan. And pray, if
the orders on the treasury are already de-
precIatcd 90 per cent, what chance is there
of their improving, il the expense of this
loan is to be added to the burthens upon the
treasury? Or is it the intention, instead oil
building the pretended bridges, to pay pre-
sent city debts with this loang Indeed,
from the manner in which our expiring city
council have within week or two com
mcnced making appropriations, they appear
tontcnd placing the loan question in such a
shape that our citizens will have little dis
erection in the matter An appropriation of
$4,000 was made for cana bridge on Co.
lumbus street, and another of 81 600 for
bridge on Madison street. and what with
present debt of about 81 900, a heavy loan is
in fact already made, for if the money is not
raised in 10 per cent bonds it must be in 10
per cent. city orders, the latter coniessedly
infinitely the worse plan. Now, there may
be necessity for these bridges but can any
prudent farmer afford to pay ten per cent
for term Of years to add improvements to
his farm, when he can get along without
them? Our only hope Of escape from this
growing financial ENHANCEMENT is in the
election of new and better council two
weeks hence, by whom We hope to see a bet
lrr sy stem inaugurated.
