The brig mentioned as being’ ashore on the South Breaker, in our paper of yesterday, proves to be the brig Galen, Isaac Sheffield, jr. master, vbich left Charleston on the 23tl inst. bound to ("owes, and a market. On the 24th, in the Gnlf- JtTeanH s he was totally dismasted, while under full sail', as is supposed by a whirlwind’s striking ke sails aloft. She immediately bore away be t'orethe wind and sea, in order to get tip jury masts. On the 25th and 26th made sail for Charleston— 27th, off this port, fell in with the pilot boat Hampton —looking much like a storm coming on, took on board a black man for pilot, Bcin°- the only one left in the boat, and bore up for Tybee, bearing N. W. 15 miles distant—at 6A. SI. she was in the midst of the breakers, and soon after struck—and in about 3 hours bil ged. The vessel and a cargo of rice valued at 10,000 dollars, will be entirely lost. The crew saved.

I On motion of Mr. Lloyd, the resolution s ■submitted by him fur-making certain appro priations of the Public Lands to the purpo- \ lie? of education in the old states, were ta- Iken up; and,.with tne view of fixing a day Icertam for their discussion, were made the ■order of the day far Wednesday next. I The resolution submitted by Mr. Noble, ■calling for certain information respecting ■the pension agency of Indiana, <sj*c. was ■taken up and agreed to. | ELECTION OF ELECTORS, &c. I According to the order of the day, the ■Senate then proceeded to the consideration Pi thejoinf resolution proposing anamend- Iment to the Constitution, for establishing lan uniform mode of electing Electors of ■president and Vice Prerident of the U. S. |uud Representatives to Congress: which Ibcing before the Senate for discussion— j I Mr. l)iike rson said, the subject had been ■a often and su fully discussed, be e and ■Elsewhere, and was so fully understood, l:e pid not propose to offer a single remark in ■favour ot his motion, but to submit it to a pilent expression of the sense of the Sen ■te. I'Mr. Barbour, laying it down as a princi ■ile that e'ery man proposing an amend- B-ient to the Constitution, was bound to ■ore a plain and palpable mischief, andj ■'l shew that his proposition euibiareda! Pear remedy for it, ca'led on Mr. Dkker- P'ti,especially as there were several new •embers in the Senate, in wiiose presence ■us qu u stion had not been discussed, to ■iscluse the ground* on which he asked •eir votes in favour of his motion. For V* part, Mr. B. said, lie had always been ■ppused to his proposition, believing it to ■e fraught with more mischief than it pro ■used good; and so thinking, had hereto ■ie expressed his opinion of it. Me was ■>! only willing but desirous to hear the ■at!eman from New-Jersey present to ■eSenate his views in favour of it. When ■ have heard him, said Mr. B.—in the lan- ■ lj 3ge of the Qur. iters, if the spirit move me, ■ also will express my views of the ques ■ -dr. Dickerson said, if the spirit would ■°t move the gentleman without his help, ■ “uuld not move him at all. No new ar ■™ent, Mr. D. said, could be ottered on ■‘C subject. There was probably not a ■anin the Union who took any interest in concerns of his country, whose mind ■ a ’Oot tullv made up on the subject; and, H 1 gentleman from Virginia had made V ‘ ,s ,n *nd upon it, ( is Mr. D. believed he Hy) he did not believe there was any oc for now debating it. 1.11 :I . r h !,,|r sa id lie wished to do his hon ■jj'de bieuda favour by inviting him to ■ ehls reason in favour of the measure.— . e ' v that he had given it much consi ■ration. As he declined to do so, he (Mr ■Jl'ould briefly deliver his own. \Yho ■Etpresuined to lay hands upon the con- should be satisfied that there was mischief which his amendment H* . remedy, lie did notthink the con- sacred—it was not divine—it was U"Qikufnian —But lie would not change it unless he Were sure ol’ making it better —it ought not to be put to the chance of untried experiments. His first objection lo the present amendment was that it went to disturb the principle of compromise be tween the large and small states, which is the foundation of our government.- It was necessary to beware taking away she peculiar ad van (ages of some parties to the compact and still retain the considers-, lion given for them. Such he thought j would be the effect of the amendment.— t he small state of Delaware had equal au thority in this house with the large state of N. York. The compensation given to the large states for this inequality was to be found in the provisions respecting the e lection of President, in which N. York has a voice, as 29 to 4 greater than Delaware. If there should be no election for President by the electors, then there must be one bv the House of Representatives, and in such cases each state has one vote only. Dela ware would then he equal to New York. The tendency of the amendment, he thought went to transfer the election of President ofthe House. While the election is con fined to 24 States, there can be but so ma ny persons voted for by the House;, but the number of Representatives, he feared, must inevitably increase. When that House numbered five hundred or a thousand mem bers, and the number of electors was in creased in correspondent measure, all to be chosen by districts, what a scene would j ensue ! Every village ami district thinks it | has a fit President for the U. S. We shall ; never want candidates for that office. If we look at the signs of the times, the gen eration is fruitful in them. If there were from five hundred to a thousand districts, as there might be, under this amendment, each with its candidate for (he Presidency, a majority for any one could never be ex pected—and the tendency of that was to tliiovv the election into the House of Repre sentatives. What might be the conse quence ot that he would not say—hut such ;an event had once taken place. lie wish led it could be buried in oblivion—that His j tory had not recorded it. It was a tiight jful scene—ilwasa state of alarm—good linen looked anxiously to the Capitol, where |liberty was said to be in danger. It was ; attempted to make a President of a man l who had not received one vote of the peo ple for that office—they talked of making a president by law. Such was the suspi cion, and such too the excitement, than tens of thousands of patriots had ready the aven ging steel, to plunge into the heart of the | usurper, and his guilty associates. What ’has happened may happen again. There i were threatening specks on the horizon, | and, however, we may be secured by our \ form of government and the attachment of the people to it, yet we are not to suppose that the laws of Heaven are to be suspended in our lavour. He would not place the President’s office in the vote of that House, and therefore opposed an amendment, which he thought would end in such an ef fect. At a time when some of the State* see, or think they see, encroachments of this government on certain of their rights, you ought not to take from them the small privilege of directing the inode of electing their electors. JBesides, Congress had that power already, and you may not amend the Constitution to grant them such power.— Everyone had his peculium. Leave this one to the States, it is dear to them, and of no real importance to you. ! Mr. Dickerson, was not disposed to med idle freely with the constitution—but be ing instructed by bis constituents he should persevere in his proposition. ‘ Under the present system states could | coalesce and individuals intrigue, but if the i election was transferred to the people with in their districts, intrigues aud calculations might be defied Two or three leading candidates only would divide the votes — ! If you multiply electors you are safer than !in reducing their number—suppose three great states to confer as to a presidential candidate and that one should dissent from the others —would not the dissentient state endeavor to throw the election into the house. The gentfeinau instead of shewing how this amendment would conduce to bring the elections for president into this house, had only shown what had once hap pened when that was the case. Provisions had been made to meet such cases in fu ture —and on the principle of compromise. Mr. D. said that the large states were less interested in the union than the small er ones—they were empires, as it were by themselves —under the present system mis chief may happen. The election of presi dent ought to be uniform and c> temporane ous—now it was every thing but that. Mr. Lloyd agreed with Mr. D. that the election ought to be uniform and cotempo raneous; and his only objection to this res olution, was, that those points were not secured by it. lie moved to refer the reso lution to the committee on the judiciary, with instructions to the effect of attaining that object. Mr. Lowrie said the debate had been confined wholly to that part of the resolve wl;ich relates to electors of president and vice-president; and the other provision respecting the mode of electing represen tatives to congress appeared to have been overlooked. Congress had the power to direct the mode of electing the latter; he thought the other part of the proposition should be looked into, and moved a post ponement. The question was then taken on the pro posed postponement; when there were For the postponement 14 Against it 14 The vice-president declared himself against the postponement. Mr. Chandler moved to amend the reso lution sis as to provide that the two electors who are to be chosen Irom each state, (in addition to those severally to be chosen from the congressional districts) shall be chosen at large, by each voter giving his vote for two electors, in addition to his , vote for one elector for the district in | which he lives. This amendment, Mr. C. said, would do away the objection in his mind, and it appeared in that of some oth er gentlemen, to the details of this pioposi tion. On motion of Mr. Lanman, the further consideration of the resolution was then postponed to tomorrow. On motion of Mr. Talbot, the resolve for amending the constitution, with respect to cases of controversy between states and the United States, &c. was made the order of the day for Tuesday next; and The senate adjourned. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Mr. Floyd laid on the taule the following resolution; Resolved, That the president of the U. States be requested to cause to be laid be fore this house all the correspondence which led to the Treaty of Ghent, which has not yet been made putilic, and which in his opinion, it inay not be improper to disclose, Mr. John S. Smith, of Ky. submitted the following resolution: Resolved, That a committee be appoint ed to take into consideration the report and [resolution of the legislature of Kentucky, recommending an appropriation ol a por tion of the public lands of the U. States, as as fund for the promotion of education in the several states of the union, and that said committee have leave to report by bill or otherwise. Mr. Moore also communicated to the house certain resolutions of the iegislatuie of Alabama, requesting the senators and representative from that state to use their exertions to procure an appropriation for treating with the Creek and oilier nations of Indians relative to the cession of certain parts of their territory: which were refer red to a committee ofthe whole having the subject under consideration. Mr. Plunier, of N. H. laid on the table the following resolution: Kes-lved, That the secretary of the trea sury be directed to communicate to this house such information as he may possess respecting the funds set apart by an act < f the state of Maryland, dated December 26, 1791, for improving the poit of Balti more; and by an act of the state of Geoi gia, dated February 10th, 1787, for clear ing obstructions in the river Savannah, to which acts the assent of congress was giv en March 17, 1800, and by subsequent acts continued to the present time—stating the amount ot duties received under said acts, the manner in which they have been appli ed, and how far tire objects therein contem plated have been accomplished. On motion cf Mr. Gilmer, t:>e house took up the resolution oft’ -ed by him yesterday, and, after a remark or two by Mr. G. to show the necessity, as it relates to the state of Georgia, of obtaining the information called lor, the resolution was agreed to.
