In the Senate, yesterday a number of

In Hie House of Ueprcf entntives, after
some remarks from Mr. Wav.m:, on Mr.
How inn's resolution, calling for the pain
ting of certain reports in IHt.d, '5 un ; ’I,
outlie subject of thetaritf, Mr Dr. a v ton
moved to refer it to the Committee on the
Library, on the ground that Congress
was prohibited, by a joint resolution
passed last session, from ordering any
printing other than what was necessary
for the current business of the House.
This motion was agreed to. A sliorl
discussion arose on a resolution olii ied
. by Air. (‘litLTO.s, providing lor a select
committee to devise un unerring system
of euleulalion 'ey which mei.ilu rs travel
ling the same distance to and from the
seat of Government, will invariably re
ceive the same mileage. It waspropos
led to send this resolution to the t 'oaunit
tee on the Post OiKce and Cost Komis,
to which Mr. Cim/ro.-; m-euled. It whs
afterwards suggested by Air Wanum:
, that the Committee :>li tin- Public Expen
ditures was its appropriate referrcnce, \-
, Air. Cmi.Tov agreed to that proposal also.

into Committee of the Whole on the

Monroe late President of the United
Stales. Air. Ali.kvkr detailed the history
J of the claim j explained the grounds up
>n which it is founded; dwelt at great
length on the meritorious service* of the
claimant; und concluded with an eloquent
appeal to the sympathies of the Hhiise, in
behalf of the distinguished gentleman for
whose relief, the people of Albemarle
county, Virginia, nnd those of the city of
New York, had petitioned the House.
>lr. Camiirixi-xo followed on the same
'ide, in a strain equally eloquent. He
passed n high wrought panegyric on the
public services of Air. Monroe; nnd al
luded to the necessity of maintaining, not
only the honor nnd dignity of the Union,
but of rendering it illustrious among na
tions. The bill was opposed with great
force and spirit by Air. Cun.xow, of Ky,
and Air WnrrTLKBKV, of Ohio- who
showed, that the veteran who hud rush
ed to the standard of liberty, held the
baypnet to the breast of our enemy, and
mingled Ids blood with the soil of his
country, in the trying period of the war
of Independence, was permitted to sink
into I lie grave, in penury nnd distress;
no eloquent tongue was heard in the
' councils of the nation, painting in the
’ glowing charms of pot cy his patriotism,
ami ids sacrifices in the great cause of
civil liberty | no voice was lobe heard
on that floor,appealing,hot to the gener
osity, hut the justice of his country, and
imploring, in his behalf not a Inrge and
princely foitnnc, to pamper bis pride,
but a mere pittance to relieve the wants
of nature, and mitigate the asperities of
approaching dissolution, while the House
wits entertained with nil the inspiring as
sociations connected with a venerable
name, and its sympathies sought to be
awakened, in order to lavish 67 thousand
dollars on one who has lately had ids ac
counts settled on principles of equity,
mid received from the Treasury of the
nation 57 thousand dollars of tlie public
money. The Committee rose and re
ported progress, before the question was
taken on the passage of the bill.
In the Senate, on the fid hist, the Viu:
Pm sinn.vr of the U. States appeared and

bers to the proposition submitted by him

For months together such orders were
received m.d i nswcred.’one, two, and
tiirec a dry : sometimes for a pint, some
times fora quart, and sometimes for hro
qrartt at a time. X * hen two quarts wc re
ordered, it was -in consequence of‘‘the
morrow being the Subbalb." Orders
written in (lie morning were very fair ec
legible, but when more than one a day
were sent, those written a tier the liquor

JUDGE PECK’S TIDAL.
The speech rTATr. McDuffie bcffarc the
High Court, on the opening of this case,
appears to have struck all whpJj\N;d it,
ns a very eKti’nwtUixitfy
gnmcntnnd eloquence. The' lTJiTowmg
arc the views of the eorrespondent ofthe
New-York Courier and Enquirer, con
tained in his letters of the 20th and 21st
inst,:
‘MXIr. McDuffie, one of the managers
of (he imp. nchment, opened the ease,
und spoke til! 3 o'clock; when, on mo
tion of .Mr. Holmes, adjourned till to
morrow nf 12.
I should in vuin seek for terms ade
quate to convey my impression of tliis
masterly effort, h was, without cxccp
lion, the most splendid display of elo
quence and argument I ever listened to.
Eight precious words in (he first article
ofthe amendment of the constitution—
‘ the freedom of speech, or of the press’’
formed his (heme. And what a thcaic
fir such a in,in. sprung from the yeoman
ry, and, like Patrick Henry, the sworn
(he of tyranny in every shape, to descant
upon! Our hrethern' in Yew England
heap eulogiiims upon Mr. Webster, and
I admit, not without cause. Ilci'j, un
doubtedly, a great orator, lint to those
who love Democracy, an ! esteem above
all earthly treasures the liberty for which
our forefathers fought and’ bled, the
speech this day delivered will ever en
dear the name. and. when lie is gone, the
memory of George McDuffie.
Mr. McDuffie resumed It is opening ar
gument, and concluded about half past
two; having spoken, in all, about live
hours and a half.
