The proceedings of the lawless hordes, calling j themselves “I’alriots,'’ on tllb Northwestern I Frontier, against the neutrality of the country, aro now engaging the attention of the House of Representatives: and the Hill which passed the Senate on the IRih of January, to compel the observance of our neutral obligations, has u.t« dergonc a very thorough and elaborate discussion. Tbs Committee on Foreign Relations in report ing this bill to the House, proposed an amend ! merit ofnn important character to that provision, 1 which allows the trade in aims and munitions of war, conducted in vessels by sea to any foreign port or place whatever, which has been hitherto carried on lawfully by citizens of the United j Stales under the old Neutrality Law. 11 he .amendment limits this provision, and jnnhibitt ! this trade to ports or places within lontevminoun euuniriet or coloniet. A number of other amendments have been offered by different gentlemen, with the view o' obviating particular objections. The truth is, the hill is very badly drawn. Neither Mr. Senator Iluchanoii, who introduced it originally into the Senate, nor Mr. Howard, who remodelled it in j the House, is lit to preside over the Committee I on Foreign Relations. There is an almost unani- ! molts desire to pass some hill which will lullill : all the duties of neutrality and preserve peace on | the frontier; hot some ol the provisions of this measure are so objectionable, that I do not be lieve it would soininanJ forty votes in its present ■ shape. On HajurJay Mr. HOWARtt presented two official letters which had just been received by a special express from Detroit—one fr in (sen. Urn [ dy to Ailj’t Gen. Jones; and the other fiotn Gov. Mason to the President, complaining of a defi ciency i f power, and urging the immediate pas sage of the Rill now before the. House. Ofeourse, these funclionaiies only wish that some effective measure should he enacted. Their letters furnish no arguments fur this particular hill. 1 mentioned in a former letter, that the Senate [ had passed a hill altering the times of holding the 111. S. Courts in the .VVn.'/i District. When this measure was taken up in the House. Mr. GARLAND of Louisiana, look occasion to comment very strongly on the neglect of the Dis 'rict Judge (McKinley) who, ho said, hail not shown his face in New Orleans since his appoint* mri.t. He believed the arrangement of the Jtr dicial District in the South-West, hail been ,;ade 1 with reference to a particular appointment: and j it had operated on Louisiana as a curse rather i than u blessing. He declared that Congress could j do nothing belter for that State than to abolish ' the law so far as it was concerned. Mr. MARTIN of Alabama, undertook the de- j fence of the Judge ; and gave as an excuse lot I 1 !; 1 not holding Couit in New Orleans, that the j yellow fever was raging at the time. lIuI 1 remember, that during the discussion in the Senate, Mr. Sevier of Arkansas, declared the Judge had not mice shown his face in that Shite. Was the yellow fever raging there also?—So much for political appointments to the Supreme Dench ! MONDAY, Fob. 19th. On entering the Senate Chamber this morning, an Ilnur and a half before the time for proceeding to business, I found the Chamber crowded to overflowing in every part. All the galleries were, packed and piled with anxious expectants: and numbers of ladies finding no room there, elfeclcd a lodgment in the privileged reals on the floor- Dill there they wore not allowed to remain. The rule was enforced ; and the fair beings wore inex orably expelled. This immeneo multitude was called together by the intelligence ihatHuxuv Clay was to address the Senate: They were not disappointed. That illustrious statesman and orator spoke for nearly five hours: and all his friends declared that he never made a more in. structivc, eloquent, and in every respect, able speech in his life. He laid down five great prop ositions, which ho proved and illustrated at length: Ist. That it was the deliberate purpose and , fixed design ol the late Administration, to estah i Ush a Government Dank, —a Treasury Dank, to j bo administered and controlled by the Treasury j Department. j Snd, That with a view to this end 1 ,-there was i a determination to overthrow the whole Ranking j System of the country. 3rd. That those attacks were first confined, Irom considerations of policy, to the Dank of the J United Stales, but were afterwards extended to, i and are now continued against, the State Institu tions. ■lib- That the present Executive has succeeded , lo the principles, plans, and policy of the late i Administration, and is pledged to perfect them. I filh. That this hill is introduced for the pur- I i pose of executing the pledge, by creating a Gov ernment Dunk to be administered and controlled by the Treasury Department. The evidence Mr. Clay adduced on these points was very full and conclusive. 1 will notice it I particularly to-morrow. In the course of his remarks, he alluded to the extraordinary attitude of Mr. Calhoun, in relation j to this AdtmiiislratiomanJ his extraordinary eon duct as developed in his famous Edgefield Letter’ Slid his speeches at the last and present session Never was there a more severe and more clfee ! nvv rebuke administered lo any public mau, than ; that given to Mr. Calhoun by Mr. Clay in this memorable passage. Where, ho exclaimed, did this measure origi inate? The ilrawer lives in the White House: the eiulorter is the Senator from South Carolina ’ j What the drawer thinks of ilie endorser, his hah ilual good temper and courtesy, will perhaps ever prevent us from learning ; but what the endorser ha* run/ of the drawer, still rings-in our ears. Who does not remember the remark that the dcs j lined successor had none of tho noble qualities of I the Lion, hut only the sneaking and cunning »(. ' f irbutes of the Fox. * I Mr. f.l.iy properly characterized his conduct of Mr. Calhoun to Uio Whigs us ungenerous in the extreme, ami especially his remarks on the Whigs in the Edgefield letter. Mr. Calhoun ihere •aye that he quit his old allies because he found that the victory would ensue not to him and his party : hut to others. I'arty ! exclaimed Mr, Clay, I thought we were fighting for our country —lor its liberties, its rights, its interests. Our object was to drive the Goths and Vandals from Koine. It was for this we were allied; —to bring down Executive power, to lake from the spoils men lllc f dsiession of the Government. Dot the Schaterfrom South Carolina and his parly hive left us. They have gone horse, fool, and dra goons!—Hut that horse, foot, and dragoon con sists of the Etc mlor himself! He has gone over, to use the language ofhis now distinguished ally “SotITAHt iXU ALO.se!” Mr. Clay herb made a heauli'ul and striking reference to the etory ol Achillea in the Head; contrasting Ilia conduct with that of .Mr. Calhoun The Grecian hero remained in solitude, brooding over his wrongs—hut when he did come forth, it w s to raise his avenging a. in, and drive the Trojans hack to their city. Achilles did not go ■ over to the Troyan camp, lie, at the worst, j stood aloof from his friends and countrymen : j even though he was so grievously wronged. ft e, proceeded Mr. Clay, have done the Sena tor from South Ca olina no wrong. We. honor cd him for his talents, his genius, his mi/ifioaeil patriotism, his stern and inflexible fidelity. Yet Ihe has gone over to the Trojan ramp! He has ■ id* us: liut whether, should victory perch on | the banners of the Spoilsmen, he would leave i them also, if the victory should not enure to him mid hfs parly, Mr. Clay said, is a question which j- he would leave to he decided by the high parlies j concerned! I will notice the reply of Mr. Clay 10 the argu ments of Mr. Calhoun, in my next. After he had finished, Mr. CALHOUN rose and said that Mr. Clay had misstated or pervert ed every argument he had thrown out. Hu would reply to the arguments, and also to the personal remarks of that Senator, at his good j leisure i aiid, o' ih.it time, ho assured the Senator the debt between them should be settled and paid. Mr. Cloy rejoined with great promptness whe ther he had perverted and misstated the argli | tr.cnl of Hie Senator he would leave to a more I impartial tribunal than him--the Semite. With respe Ito any pay incut, the Senator tony lie dis posed to make ho was ready to receive it in any way. ‘ i s ock not, said be, a contest with any I man.

Destruction of the iiuwcry Thetftrc. A little alter two o’clock on Sunday morning i Ihe henuUlul edifice, erected hut little more than j a year since, known as the Bowery Theatre, was entirely destroyed by lire. This is the I third building, devoied to theatrical purposes and j erected upon this spot, that has been burned I ten years. The first edifice was burned in Mav, 183 d, the second in September, J.SdG, and the third yesterday morning. ) The following of Ibis firo arc principally made up from the Courier and Gazette ot Ibis morning. At about a quarter past two o’clock, the private watchmen stationed in the building were nlaim od by the reflection ofa light on the stage, caused by a lire in the upper part of the building. The lire was just then breaking out in ihecaipenlet’s shop, which was situated immediately under the root in front of the building, and the alarm was spread with all possible despatch. The firemen, 1 with their engines, hastened to the spot, but I before any water could bo brought to bear upon the building, the whole interior was in flames, and the possibility of saving any thing was ah most out of the question. A dash was made at the properly room,where the wardrobe was kept, hut only one small bundle of garments was res cued, and the whole ward tube, estimated at 7000 or *BOOO, fell a prey to the flames. The scenery, machinery and stage property, being all highly combustible, were soon consumed, and at about three o’clock the roof fell in, sending aloft ! a muss of cinders, which flew far and wide, and I burying beneath [it all that remained of the ill- j starred Bowery Theatre. The iron safe, containing some money and all the books and papers of iho establishment, was saved;, but, except this, nothing of any value was rescued. The wardrobe, scenery, and other properties, were valued at about $OO,OOO dollars, ! upon which there was no insurance. Insurance I to the amount of $1)5,000 had been effected upon ! the building, which it is supposed will not cover 1 one half of the Whole actual loss. Very few of the actors had any clfecls in the theatre, and they have thus escaped the general ruin. Mr. Uuver nay, carpenter to the establishment, had three thesis ot tools and other properly destroyed which was not insured. Os the origin of this fire, Ihere can ho but one opinion, that it was the work of an incendiary. The flames when first discovered, were breaking out from the carpenter’s shop in the top of the building in front. There was a coal stove in that room, hut no lire had been in it since half past four o’clock the previous day, and the last per son who 101 l the building on Saturday night, stales most positively that there was not a spark of fire in the building, except such as was below, | and was attended to by the watchmen, i'hcre | are moreover, some circumstances, which we aro not now at liberty ‘.O divulge, which tend to | strengthen the general opinion that the lire was I the woik of an incendiary. J here were three ot four buildings adj lining | the Theatre also destroyed 1 The heaviest 10.-er by this disastrous fire is Mr. Dinneford, who owned the wardrobe, and the nth -1 or stage properties, upon w hich there was no in \ suranee.

Slit—Sometime ago, how lung 1 do not re member, but I think it was about the early part of the present year, a debate look place relating to the Abolition question. lit the course of that debate, in reply to a member who urged the binding force of the Constitution of the United Slates and its provisions, you replied in sub stance that you were actuated by higher mo t.vcs, and guide.l by the fuoi-ainount obligation of your 1 ehgiuus duties. That this teas a retgious question, and your condui t -would be con formable to your religious feelings and | obligations, and so governed at every hazard. I These were not your words, but lin y exj icss j the substance and meaning of your remarks, to i j ike best of my recollection, which was strong)v | | excited by perusing the debate. But I kept no j document or memorandum of what passed, and | j I can only make my memory answerable for tire j I general fact, that this was substantially an avow al made by yourself on the floor of Congress. ' during the discussion of a Slavery quest ft) ri. Iff 1 am right in my recollection, you irfe a proper ■ subject for the following remarks; • if‘not, I shall be glad to find myself mistaken, and you will n in..in uwtuu' luil, unscathed 1 y any allusion to J yourself. 1 1 Religious motives operate on ovary innn,ao* ( ! cor,ling to the completion of hi* religi uifi cr< ed; i and unfortunately, almost every man lias a rol.- i gious creed of his own, which forms the guide of his conscience arvJ Iris conduct, and tiro often seems to justify him in avenging tire offences j against what he calls religion, as crimes of the ■ very deepest dye. ! A faxatic, is a man who subjects his reason ings, his feelings,and his conduct to the absolute i and implicit control of the religions doctrines lie ! has embraced. Compared to which the usua[ ! precepts of morality, the laws of society, and the | rights of his neghbors and fellow citizens, ar • of Ino weight or vsluc. His conscience as to pin. 1 amount obligation is a religious conscience, and if that ho satisfied, his mind i- at rest. For instance, hardly a nation ofitnliijliily can ! he pointed out, among whom human sacrifices | | were not frequently offered up io appease the anger or propitiate the favour of the deity. A very orthodox treatise on ‘Atonement,’ by an Irish Clergyman, now a bishop, whose mum I i forget, contains remonstrances, which do not comprise half the list. The sacrifices of Jug i gernaught, and the Mexicans, are hut samples of at least fifty historical iccoids. AVhen the Arl ans wore ordered to he put to death, and burned, under Constantine, it was the commencement only of the auto dales of the inquisition; piously imitated by the Protestants of England during the alternate supremacies of Popery and Reform. ■ The burning of Serve us by John Calvin, the impris mment of Jocinian Piddle, the pious poi secutions for religion’s sake, sanctioned by the prote.tanl Church of England from Henry \ 111, to the Princess Victoria, (in whose brief reign as yet, the Jews as well as the Papists, have lel( 1 j the weight of religious prejudice) lake away all : | pretences of honest exclamation against the j Catholics. It is enough to allude in this country i to the early histories of Massachusetts and Con- j j iiecticut, lo show how easily t lie horrible die- j j lutes of religious fanaticism can extinguish all : the best feelings of humanity and substitute a I j system of pious cruelly as the most acceptable ; I service that can he rendered to the Deity cren : led by law. The blind and gloomy zeal otihesef , I mistaken icligionists has every where manufac< j I lured a deity of its own, and taken for a model | ' the very worst spin imen it cou'd'llnd —them- j j selves. j Sir, you well know I could more than fill the ; i columns of a large newspaper’ with a mere list I of the atrocities committed under (he name and ; sanction of what is called religion; the religion | • [ of the rack, the sword, the dungeon and the fire- j i brand. T.ie characteristics of those men whose | consciences is a religious conscience only; and I who deeffi that th- sc atrocities arc called for to | avenge the cause of their outraged di by. I wilj ! therefore confine myself to the In ief notice of the ; j assassins of Henry 4ih. and Louis 15th. op j Fiance. You may find in the small collection entitled hes JMurulet lies Jesuites, the doctrines of that j sect that has declared the right and the duly or I putting to death such Kings as entertain heictica; ! j doctrines calculated to bring down the vengeance | j of the Almighty on the people over whom they I preside, he bon voi lienvi qtlartre, the best 1 I j j monarch that ever sat upon the throne of France, j was nut sufficiently Catholic for the Jesuits of j his day. In 15'J.), Jean Chulcl, a Jesuit student, j inflamed with holy zeal against the dubious | | Catholicism of Hen., attempted his assassination, i but failed. The religious hatred of the Jesuits, j | however, neither slumbered nor slept. In 1(510 ! another Jesuit, Jtavitlac, attempted bis life by j assus.-ination and succeeded. Afterwards Louis 1 loth fell in like mannerly lhe a assassin JJamiens, ' These men considered their duly towards the ! j religious tenets they had adopted, as fully sulll. 1 ! ciont to justify treason and murder. The die- I tales of humanity and rnoialily, and the laws o' ■ j the land wore as the threads of a gossamer’s j j web with them. Their consciences wore at case, ! 1 and they died as men who had done God user- i vice; and so did die actors in the massacre of St. ! Bartholomew. With them all religion is heresy ; hut their own, and no feelings are to be cherish, ed, or any law to be obeyed, that conflicts with the intolerant dictates of their own sectarian creed. For such men laws arc made in vain. I ft is true that in civilized countries generally, at j this day, the fire and the faggot, the rack, the j axe, the gibbet and the dungeon, are 100 harsh I to lie permitted; the more enlightened humanity I of the present day, will not bear these violent j measures, and the dispositions of fanaticism are kept under control. But the rancorous spirit of j reiig ous zeal, is even yet permitted lo break ou; ! every where in minor and milder forms of perse- ! cution. Now sir, assuming what, if not true, I shall be 1 glad to be convinced of its mistake, and mutt willingly retract—assuming, I say, that you did on the floor of Congress advance your paramount j | obligations to the dictates of your own religious : creed, I take the liberty of asking you; In what i ■ respect docs that religious creed differ from the i j creed of the murderers of St. Bartholomew, or that of Uhatcl, Damiens and Ravillac? I ask sir, in what respect your motives of action in cn- 1 deavoring lo excite a servile war .differs from I thisl For that your whole course of conduct on the abolition question leads to a servile war with its attending horrors, including ten thousand assassinations like those of Chalel, Ravillac. and Damiens, who can doubt? Their consciences were pcifeclly at ease in contemplating their ind.vidual victims, so is yours in contemplating the scenes of general negro insurrection. \ou arc presumed to hold sacred the useful & beneficent, the mild and mticiful laws of social 1 morality as adopted among civilized unions: | what harmony is there between those laws, and j the excited murders of a servile war? Religion is usually considered as holding sacred the sanc j lion of an Oath. You, the self applauding para j gon of religious sentiment and duty, have repca j tcdly sworn to support and maintain the coiisti j tut ion of the United State*; and in virtue of that 1 oath you sit as a representative. But what arc oaths lo religionist of your stamp! Knowing that the constitution guaiantccs to the South the i system of domestic servitude adopted among ns you give your solemn oath to the winds, yi •i* abuse tiio in ft ro;‘Os«-il in y< h founded on that’ oath, ; ml in the tiny of your religious zeal, yo t sacrifice on lire alter of perjury to the Demon o* Abolition! I!y what right sir do yon sit in Congress, if your mith to EU|i|>orl the eoiistilulicn is not hind* ing upon you! Arc you a lit member of that body? Ifyou have undertaken inconsistent oh„ ligations, who comi'olleU you to do so! Were I a member of Congress sir, I would move far your expulsion, not as an avowed enemy of the present (,‘onsliui ion, hut because you claim lira right of laughing its provisions to scorn whenever they interfere with the paramount obligations of your own credit. fcSir, in lire puritan language of the, eld Day Slate, you are not a '.v/intwouw mem ber.
