'file strength of ihe vision of this bird must almost exceed belief, for it can discover its prey, and pounce upon it at a height at which it is itself’, wiiii expanded wings scarcely visible to the human eye. When looking for its prey it sails in large circles with its tail spread our, but with little motion of its wings, and it often soars aloft in a spiral manner, the gyration becoming gradually less and less perceptible, until it dwindles to a mere speck, and is at length entiiadv lost tn tile view, A story is current on the plains of Sas kaihevaii, of a half bleed Indian, who w.is vaunting his prowess before a band of his country mem, and wishing to impress them with a belief of his snper naiurin powers, in inc harangue, and eagle was observed, as it were, in the air, dire. tly over his head, upon which, pointing aloft with ins dagger, 'which glistened brightly in the sun, he called upon the royal bird to come down.

The following contrast is not unaptly drawn, by the author of Devereux: •Had 1 leisure, I might here pause to point out .» notable contrast between Peter (he Great and Louis le Gram!; both creators of a new era, both associated with a vast change in rhe condition of two mighty empires. There ceases the likeness i and begins the contrast: the blunt simplicity of I ctor, tlie gorgeous magnificence ot Louis; the Sternness o( a legislator for barbarians, the clemen cy ot an idol of courtiers. One the victorious de fender ol his country—a victory solid, durable, and just, the other the conquering devastator of a neighboring people—a victory glittering evanes cent, and dishonorable. The one, in peace, re jecting parade, pomp, individual honors, and transforming a wilderness into an empire; the o ther involved in ceremony, and throned in pump; and exhausting the produce of millions to pamper the bloa ed v >nity of an individual. The one a *>re that burns, without enlightening beyond a uii'st narrow circle, and whose luster is tracked by what it retains, and led by what it consumes; the Other a luminary, whose light, not so dazling in its ray*, spread? over a world, and is noted, not fbr what it destroy? ,but for what it vivifies and creates.

JAMES HAMILTON, juh. President ofthe conren'ion of t' ie People of South-Carolina. j Attest— Isaac If. llayne, clerk. .. Washington, F.elruary 13. In the Senate yesterday, Mr. Clay said he had, on tjie proceeding day, given wtice that he should ask leave to offer to the couideration of. the Senate, a bill to modify the, at ofthe 14th 1 July, 1832, and the other acts of (engross im- i posing duties on imports—and t/iatwith permis sion ut tiie Senate, he would makesome expla- ■ nation of its provisions. In tak'mpthis step lie j had no present views to gratify—ls course had I been exclusively governed by a eep sense of the duty which he owed ihe count;’, in its pre sent districted con I lion. When ie surveyed ; the lace of the country, evidenced:’the highest ■ degree ol prosperity was every were, to be seen I —and yet throughout its whole Vide spread ex-'-j j tent, great disseniions and divisiss of opinion ! prevailed. In introducing the puposed inea- r sure to the House, he had two grat objects in view. Fhe first related to the I’riff policy— j He would express the opinion wicli had not ' j been hastily formed, that the policy!'protection was in the most iminent danger. If it should I be preserved for the present sessiu.it must ib- I etitablv fall at the next session•ofCoiigry'ss--—. i The causes which had produced his st'.iiu of probability he would not now go i in . JJ,. Was ! 1 hilly satisfied that the existing tars could not ■ ( be preserved but by the applicatio of forcible ► ■ measures. Recoin se to such a poliy could not j fan io he attended by the most ci-.hnitous con . sequences. H hen he looked to th. vast extent and importance ofthe interests proteted by the ' tariff policy, he could not comemiate its sud- ■ den overthrow without terror.. Jislory fur-i nished no example ol such.ruhi auddestructiun ' as would be brought upon the coimry by a sud den repeal of ihe protective system The re- . vocation ol the Edict ofNuntz was lOthing to it. I be complaints winch now divide and distract , the American people are on ihe the hand, that >. tney arc ground down by a sysem of unjust taxation which paralyzed their inhistry—on the other, that the vacillating, vibrdiug policy of Congress in rclaiion to the proleclun of our own products, allord no certain meins of calcul i-| lion. Before a law had gone inb operation--;! law, too, passed with extraordifary research and deliberation, it is now to be itpealed beloie its operation has been tesied by my experience ol iis provisions. For the purpestf of taking a way (he occasion of these compi.mts on (he one side and the other, lie had soughliar some prin ciple of mutual accommodation, which might besuislactory to both parties—to afl’md, oh the one hand the assurance that tboiates of duly slrnild at a future day be brought down to a bare * revenue standard—and io promise on the -other stability and perm inency to our pulicv. The basis upon winch the | r:nciple ui accommoda tion, which he should propose, was founded, was time. The extent of time which would form the ingredient of the bill, was long cem . pared with human life—.but it was short, very shin t, in reference to the measures of a wise government. \\ i;h these preliminary remarks, he would beg le.iv.e to tali the attention of lite oeniie to the provisions ofthe proposed bill. . by the Ist section, it was provided that in all ■ cases where the duties imposed by the act of j 14th auly, 1832, or any oiheract which should •i be li force alter that act went into operation, , stiwuld exceed 20 per cent, the amount of that i excess shall be gradually reduced bv deduc ting one-tenth on il:e 30;h September, 1333 ! one-tenth on the 30ih September .1835—one . tenth o.i the 30Hi September, 1837-one-lentli •>n toe JOih September, IS39—m:e half of all Ont remains cx-*idiug 79 per cent, io be t ; !.. n er hah’ 1 ' 10 :i * Se l ,tCfl)ber » and the otli.

He had been greatly astonished by the disclosures of the process bv whmh the Secretary of ths Tmasury proposed to keep the revenue down to the wants of the Gov ernment. That officer had supposed that a reduc tion ot the rates oi duty, would reduce the revenue to the sa me proportion. If there was any truth in principles of political economy, this would not be the result. It was a maxim, that consumption in creased in proportion to the reduction iu price. If the d uty is reduced, the consumption is increas ed, and.. of course (he relative amount of revenue is aLo increased. This was not probably the de sign ot the Secretary. But he must Le permitted ito say, that the ptan that had been elsewhere pre [ sente (I for the reduction of the tariff, was ths most I artfully devised scheme that could be imagined, i It assummed a certain basis for the future expendi ture of the government, which was absolutely im posifiblie to tix with any degree of certain’}-.

Clay then went into an elaborate argument ’ in liefence of the provisions of his pioposed bill, in anticipation of the objections which might be urg- ! cd ag *.inst it by tiie friends of the protective svs tem. He contended at length, that it did not yield i the principle of protection, but only proposed a for | bearance of its exercise, lie, for one. was willing ■to sacrifice every thing to peace and Union.

Mr. C. concluded by moving fm leave to intio.lm e the bill modify- ! mg the provisions of the act of July 14th, 1832 1,11 olbrr ;“' ,s imposing duties on imports. he (. bate stated the question on grantin'* leave. ° Mr. Forsyth said the avowed object of ihe ' ben.itoi would undoubtedly meet wiih univer sa .ippiobafoii. In Ids opinion such a propo sition coak* not c.mrn more appropriately koni uny source whatever, for we w. re indebted to none so mucti, f.»- the universal-disem d which prfcva.ied throughout the comiiry on this sub ject.

In this view it would be better to wait the action ofthe other House upon the bill now before them. Thero jvere now but fourteen days of.he session - If the whole ol both houses woto unanimous in the wish of passing this bill, excepting twenty members gifted with ordinary powers of lungs they would have it in their power to prevent its becoming a law at this session. He rejoiced at, the proposition which had been made by- the Senator—regarding it, as he did, as an offering made by the Manufacturing interest upon tho alter of peace and concord. Thc other party io rhe controversy might regard this bill as i'itli eraprojcct or an ultimatum of that interest. bichever it might be considered, the best course would be to withhold leave for present ing it as an independent measure, and O’hen the bill now in the other House comes before the Senate, to move this as a substitute. If ti ny desire existed io see this proposition carried, this was the most effectual course. Besides, the Senate, by the Constitution, had no power of originating bills for raising taxes. Ifhe cor T sectly understood one of the sections of tiio proposed bill, it went to increase the duties on a particular description of articles from 5 to S(J per cent. Such a proposition could only ori ginate in the House of Representatives. Be fore he sat down, he might be permitted to say, tliat the project, as a whole, did not, in his o pinion, go far enough, considering that it was brought forward, after the admission ofthe Se nator, that Ins favorite system had received its irremediable wound. This serpent which has i crept into our Eden, is now, according to the | statement ofthe Senator, exposed in all his na tive deformity and loathsomeness, by the touch , ot the spear ol Ithuriel. it is now udmitted bv »he great champion oi what had been called tne American System, that the principle ofrev enue alone, in the imposition of duties, was correct. As to ruin to manufacturers, no one desired to see it. But the claims of such as had ..ombined together for the purpose of effecting unlawful purposes, could no be recognized.-- ■ Relieving that the Senate had no power to ori ginate a bill containing the provisions he had ' al ‘ t u ued to, and that the object might be better 1 *: led hy moving it as an amendment to the ' bill in the House, he fell compelled to oppose the motion for leave; he would withdraw his opposition if the Senator would stiike the pro position for increasing the duty upon a certain ; class of articles, from the bill, I Mr. Calhoun said he entirely approved of the object of the bill proposed by the Senator from Ken ucky, Mr. Clay. Every man who loved he Union must ardently desire to see this dis tracting question terminated. Until this was done, there never could be peace and harmony among its saverel members. He verily believ ed that the present degiaded political condition jot the country was principally owing to the ; ‘^® cord which had arisen out of this subject.— ’ j / iio I’nnciple upon which the proposed bill was. I based, met his entire approbation.
