During the odminislrnlmn of the elder Ad

Hero the conversation changed lo other nub

Congressional Analysis.—In (he Senate, on
the 29th Feb. after the presentation of several
petitions and the adoption of tire resolutions of
fered on M oiiday and Tuesday, several hills
were passed, among which was the hill sup
plomnntal to thn act granting the right of pre
emption to Holder* on tho public lands. The
special order, (Mr Clay’s resolution on tho
Tariff) having been callpd, Mr. Forsyth rose,
and submitted an amendment committing the
resolution, with the substitute offered by Mr.
Hnyne, lo the Committees ofFuianeo, Menu-
facluren and Agriculture, with a view to their
presenting such a modification of the Tariff

tlio country. Mr. F. then spoke for about
two hours in opposition to the protective sys
tem, and when he had concluded, Air. Rob
bias gave nolire of Iris munition to address
the Senate tin die subject, and moved an ad
journment. which motion was carried. Mr.
Robbins, therefore, has lire floor to-day.
In the House of Representatives, the Post

of the Whole on lire State of |he Union, und
ordered to he engrossed for a third reading.—
Mr. V rnee moved an amendment to it, grant
ing the power of appointing Deputy Post

but the amendment was negatived by n vote of
