HOttSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Mr. Taylor being in the Chair in the
hbsceDce of the Speaker.
Mr. H -ward offered the following re
sale'inn : .
lUsolved. That the thanks »f this House
bo presented to the Hon. Andrew Ste
venson, Spanker, for the firmness, digni
ty, skill and impartiality with which he has
discharged the duties of the Chair during
file iwenty-second Congress.
Which was noanimnusly adopted.
Messrs. White of New Y«>rk, and Bulk,
were a commitioe to wait on
the President, on the part of the House,
end inform him that the House were rea
dy to adjourn.
Mr. C. P. White, from the committee
appointed to wait on the President, re
ported that the Committee had informed
the President that the House was ready
to adjourn, nod had been informed by the
President that he had no further commu
nication to make to the House.
Mr. J. S Barbour, at|s o’clock, A. M-
Amoved the House now adjourn; which
Was agreed to.
Mr. Speaker Stevenson then rose and
addressed the House in the following
words:
Gentlemen: I pray you to accept my
grateful acknowledgments, for this renew
ed expression of confidence and appro
bation, in the discharge of the official dit
ties of this high office.
T receive it in the same spirit of kind
ness, in which I flatter myself it lies been
offered, and shall cherish it wiih feelings
of ptofoond respect and the deepest grat
itude. Tor the last si* years, it has been
your pleasure, that the arduo is duties of
thisGhair, should be assigned to me.
This whole period of service, ha# as you
Well kn»w. Gentlemen, been distinguish
ed by events, well calculated to render
this station one of more than ordinary la.
bur and responsibility.
f have zealously and faithfully endea
vored to meet this responsibility, and I
hope I shall not be deemed arrogant,
when I say, that I feel a proud concious
ness that the duties of this high trust, have
been discharged by me, with a single eye
to the character and dignity of this House,
the interest of my country and my own
honor.
That I have often erred, I most readi
ly admit; but they have, been errors of
rule and principle, not caprice or passion';
and rs (here has been any apparent rigor
or harshness ia the Chair, you will do me
the justice to believe, that it was uninten
tional and indUc. iminate.
If, Gentlemen, in moments of excite
ment and commotion, any thing unkind
has occurred between n>\s*lf and the indi
vidual members of the House, lot me as
sure you it has long since passed from my
memory, and been forgiven and forgotten
I have no injuries to complain of, and
no memory for them, if they existed, and
' I shall part with you all, this night, in
the spirit of peace and good will.
Before we separate, Gentlemen, w ill
you pardon me for a moment, in offering
a single suggestion?
Our councils of late, have been greatly
divided, and their harmony uud peace
disturbed.
Our country b; s been deeply and pain
fully excited, and the safety and security
of the Union itself threatened.
May we not all now hope that the causes
of excitement are hourly subsiding and
passing off-That peace and harmony and
brotherly affection,, will sDon shed their
holy calm and blessed influences around
us, and that our beloved country will
again become united, peaceful and happy?
Id assuming this station, some years
ago, I took the liberty of.then expressing
to the House a sentiment which I had
i'>ng chHrsshed,and what 1 now seixo this
fit occasion of repealing from this Chair.
It is this: that our confederated republic
can only safely exist, under the influence
of wise, equal and just laws; by the ties
of common interests and, brotherly effect
lion ; a spirit of mutqal forbearance and
nioderatiou(co||ectivelv and individually,)
had by cherishing a‘devotion to that lib
erty and Union, secured to us by the
blood of our common fathers. These
are the stable foundations upon which our
liberties and free institutions can alone,
rest; and God grant they may be e ernal.
This, gentlemen, in all human probabili
ty, is the moment of separation, with tua-
Oy, very many of us fotever. Is there
one individual present to whose bosom a
final separation from those w ith whom he
has been so long and intimately associa
ted, will not cast a painful and bitter
pang’ If there be, I confess I envy not
h<s feelings.
You will carry with you, gentlemen, my
cordial and best wishes for your individ
ual prosperity and happiness, and I pray
you to rccevw this my mo9i affectionate,
and possiblv, last farewell.
1 he Speaker then adjimrued the House
sine die.

was received with a burst of ap
& As *ua>3 the Speaker
ded from the Chair, the members instant
ly rushed arouud him to shake hands, b
adieu, &c. It was a dignified and u«*
pressive scene, and the strongest ee t g
evinced by the wholo House and the au
ditor preseut.
A Ctack and a tcee Drappit.
Andrew M’ Caul, a long, lean lad, ap
parently fresh from the ‘Land «’ Cakes,’
appeared among 'he 'disorderlies, 1 charg
ed bv the policeman who took him into
custody, with having gtown so enamoured
of the landlord of the Black Bull’s liquor,
after having imbibed a more than prudent
portion of it, that he insisted upon forcing
nimself into the house at an unseasonable
hour, in order to get another‘wee drappie.’
It was in vain the policeman issued his
authoritative ‘move on, tor Andrew had
reached that happy state of exaltation
which rendered him in his ow n opinion
’more than a match for a whole phalanx
of policemen, and therefore he retorted
the command back on the policeman, and
put himself in on ‘imposing attitude,’ in or
der to enforce compliance. The poiica
mau being, however, armed with authority
and a truncheon to back it proved the
more potential of the two, and bore the
defendant off to the station-house.
‘Ye’ll alio me to speak in ray aiu de
fence’ said Andrew, in a most unsophisti
cated Aberdeenshire brogue.
‘Certainly,’ answered the Magistrate.
‘Their ye maun ken I’m just free Aber
deen, and, as I have na been in this toon
inair than aue day, ye’ll see I did na ken
onyihing o’ the ways o’ Loudon fowk.
Mysel and a friend went into a house 10
hae a crack, and a wee drap toddie the
giether, and it was gay gude drink, we
had sax tumblers between us before we’d
finished our cracks. Weel, says I, we’re
just ganging to part, sae we’ll tak just one
‘wee thocki’ mair,—‘Wliat’n a language
did ye ca that yere speaking,” said a chap
pie at the bar, ‘it’s only fit to christen pigs
wi.’ Sir, I took this in the lichit o’ a na
tional affront, and sae I said, ‘Gang been
the hoose, ye blackguard, and ise gie ye
a fine pecking.’ ‘Na, lie,* said the land
lord, ‘l’ll have no fetching here, sae gang
ye gait not tny house.' Weel your Wor
ship, I was turned oot, and then 1 tried
we muckle might to get in again, oo for
the purpose o’ gettin ony mair drink, but
to vindicate my honour.*
‘Was you drunk I inquired the Magis
trate.
*Na ! ua ! I’m no gaud to dig a pit to
Brnk my ain neck intilt,’ said Andrew,
looking suspiciously at the Magistrate'ye
nu get nnv sic admission as that frae me."
'Then I must hold you to bail, other
wise it was tny intentions to have discharg
ed you after paying the usual flue,'said
the Magistrate.
This announcement appeared to give
Andrew some annoyance, especialy as he
fallen into the pit he had tried to avoid ;
and alter being removed from the bar a
short trmp, he sent a friend to state that
he was willing tn admit he was drunk.
The Magistrate directed that Andrew
should be recalled, and having put the u
stjal question, was answered cautiously by
Andrew who appeared desirous to keep
on the windy side of the law, that he was
willing to admit he was na what might just
precisely be ca’d sober.’ After litis ad
mission, on payment of a fine of ss. he
was allowed to leave the office.
Loss of the \\’illiam Drayton.
Our feats in regard to the packet ship
William Drayton, Copt. Sutton, are fully
lealized. Three of her passengers arri
ved here by land, on Saturday, and from
them we learn the following o.irticulajs
of her loss:- She sailed from New Yotk
on Thursday, 21st ult. and about 11 o’-
clock on Sunday night following (the 24
when running under close reefed lop-sails
the wind blowing hatd N. W. and in the
act of heaving the lead, she struck upon
the South end of Roddies’ Island, near
New Inlet, in Cuirituck county, N. C.
The ruddet was knocked off', which ren
dered thj# vessel unmanageable, ami all
efforts to git her off by hacking the top
sails, proving to be unavailing, her main
aird mizen masts were cu< away, and she
bvy in that situation until the next morning,
the sea breaking over her in such a man
ner as to render it difficult to keep the
deck. During the night she commenced
leaking, and by 8 o’clock in the morning
the water was over the cabin floor—about
2 o’clock, P. M. however, the wind hav
ing abated, they succeeded in getting out
the long boat, when the passeugeis, with
their baggage, were landed in safety.—
Finding all efforts to save the vessel una
vailing, Capt. Sutton next directed his at
tention to the saving of the Specie on
board, (about $100,000) belonging to the
United States Bank; aud with the assis
tance of his crew and one of the passen
gers. Mr. W. C. Gatewood, of this city,
who continued with the Captain, they
succeeded, in the course «f the two fol
lowing days, in landing it and placing it
in the house of one of the mast respecta
ble residents i:i the neighborhood. By
this time, several wreckers had arrived,
and in the coorSo of four or five days, up
to the time when our informants left, they
had succeeded in landing about one-third
«f the cargo of diy-goods, but little dama
ged, and theii exertions were continued
to save w hat they could of the remainder;
winch would be much injured, however,
as tho ship was then nearly full of water.
The goods saved are to be sold on the
bench, on the 16 h ins».
Messrs. Gatewood, Bubbel! and Sal
omons, who were, pasongers on board
reached hereon Saturday, in the Stage’
from Elizabeth City-—the three remaiu
ing passengers, Messrs. Corriel, Steele
and Todd, were left at that place. They
all concur in the opinion, that the loss
of the Ship is not to be attributed to anv
negligence or want of attention on the
part of Capt Stitt n or his officers, (who
were ail on deck at the lime she struck)
but to some imaccnuniable error in the
compasses, which led them to suppose
that they were far enough from the cflast
to clear Cape Hatteres, in the course they
were steering. To the coolness and self
possession of Capt. Sutton and his officer,
after the ship struck, the pasengers con
aider themselves as mainly indebted for
the- preservation of their lives; and el
that portion of the valuable property on
board which was saved. Mr. Gatewood
. states that the crew of the ship deserves
great credit for the prompt manner ill
1 which they seconded the exertions oi
! Capt. S. and his officers, in securing the
j money and goods—furnishing an exam
i pie of ready obedience and complete sub
ordination eminently worthy of imitation.
JOHN RANDOLPH.
The following spirited description of
Mr. Randolph is given in a letter from
Virginia to the Editor ut the N. H. Pat
riot.
‘‘While speaking, he stands quite ereo
—■His gestures are few, but never fail of
their effect. In some Orators, the rise
to enthusiasm is indicated bv an increase
of gesticulation, and a mote rapid and
confused utterance. Not so with him.
The eyes of his auditory are not diverted
by any uncalled for gesture or ostentatious
shifting of altitudes. The light of his black
eyes seem concentrated to a burning fn-,
cus, which it is sometimes painful to en
counter, and yet it is impossible to gei
away from the charming serpent. Like
those in love, his hearers feel their bonds
yet would not be free. “In the veiy tor.
rent and whirlwind of his passion,” his
composure is greatest, and his enunciation
most deliberate and distinct. I have heaid
some orators, whoso words,in consequen
ce of a defective movement of the organs
of pronunciation, seemed robe obtruded
and lacerated in their delivery. Cut his

Ail that is musical in modulation, distinct
in utterance, 'appropriate in emphasis,
felicitous in thought, and energetic in ev
pressien, plant his words in (he «ar with
an effect that defies the power of ciili
cisrh; and they fail too on the tympanum,
with that sort of ringing which like new
eagles from the mint shows the metal to
be sterling, and the coinage masterly.
While under the spell of his enchantment
so completely is one satisfied, that nil idea
of any thing rearer to perfection than
himself are either held in abeyauce nr en
tirely expelled the mind. There is this
peculiarity about his shrill and piercing
voice, that his words can be accurately
distinguished as far as their sound can be
heard; snd each man in the crowd con
ceives his own proper ear to be the target
at which are aimed the unering bullets of
his rhetoric. Infighting no matter what
the size of his antagonist, there is no a
daptation of his b«hsthe dimensions of ilie
object to be demolished; but like the
lightning of heaven which finds it as easy
to shatter an oak as consume a reed, the
flash comes burying in one common grave
the pigmy and the giant. In witnessing
encounters of this sort, I have frequently
wished (with the love of slaughter natural
to some) that his victims possessed more
recuperative energy, that the period of
demolition might bo lunger protracted.
It is true he has handled some, who like
Goldsmith’s village schoolmaster,“though
conquered, could argue still,” but this re
action was little more than subsul us ten'
dinum of expiring nature. He sometimes,
however, by way of'good measure,” con

satisfaction upon his mangling of a dead

enough of the instability of human greatness, to

Some of* the Georgia Scribblers are represent
in/? Mr. Forsyth’s conduct in the most erro> e ns
light, because he intimated to the Senate some
constitutional difficulties on the presentation of
Mr. Clay’s Tariff hill to that body. Such stick
lers for the constitution sould have remembered,
that money hills cannot originate in the Senate &t
this was the basis of Mr. Forsyth’s objection on
the subject. You will perceive its force, when it
was found necessary to avoid this difficulty, that
that bill should first pass the House of Represen
tatives. as it did for this very purpose, nnd then
be sent to the Senate.

“ Blessed art the peace-makers ” Mr. Clay
has distinguished himself in this way, during the
late session. He not only settled the great na
tional dispute, but brought Mr. Poindexter arid
Mr. Webster to crossing palms again. We do
not know whether he made peace with Mr. Cal-'
houn.or Mr. Calhoun with him. But it is not
worth the enquiry. The result is all we care a
bout.
A Correspondent of the Chronicle , this
morning, asserts that Mr. Forsyth was
elected to the exploded Convention at
M illedgevillo, "by Northern men , no
doubt." Wo have noticed such allegii..
tions before so often and shewn their
falsehood, that we turn to the subject
again with a reluctance which i esnlts tr.>m
a conviction of its tit'er uselessness.—
These libellers of goi'd men’s fame will
not be convinced. •* Northern Influence ”
does every thing, that dues not suit them ;
it even governs a cavalry vo e in the pri
vate concerns of the corps. But to the
ptiinf. llow wore the delegates from this
county chosen lo the Convention ? At

yeonmnry of southern soil attended, their

Gen. V. Walker , Henry Mealing, Esq
Gen. Thomas GUscock , Colonel H. H.
Cook and Charles Labuzan , Esq. Is
there a northern man among them ? Not
one but who is a naiive, of the South and
resident in Georgia nearly the whole
period of their long and useful lives.—
Whom did 'hey select to the
County? John Forsyth, Wm. Cumming,
John P. Ktng. Did not Richmond choose
men worthy to represent her 1 Is there
any but southern blood in their veins
Detraction, blush at thy falsehood.
In making such remark-, none certain
ly will suppose, that we, or the gentle
men, whose names we have used, con
sider it nuy discredit to be born north of
the Potomac, or in anv section of wur
common country. They are citizens of
the United States, and glory in the dis
tinction;
It is not matter of surprise that the Nullifiers
should hare desperately apposed the passage of
tlm Bill “further to provide for ttu collection of
duties on imports » But it is a little strange,
that those who pretended to be opposed to the
heresy of the day should condemn the mildest,
and therefore the best means of counteracting
its operations. Is Nullification wrong! JJou
■aid so. Why then oppose the legitimate action
of the Laws in putting it down, or rendering it
harmless t You say this is a bill of blood.—
Poor souls ! It is a terrible tbiug that the laws
must oe executed, •• peaceably, if they can, for
cibly, if they must." Forte is et the foundation
of civil society—it cannot exist without it. So
ciety was formed to secure physical power e
nough to curb the lawless and unruly • and no
operation in government takes place but what
has its sanction in the power end tjghl es the
community to see, that it is executed according
to its established will. The Nullifiera claim the
right of deciding for themselves, what is that
wilt. Why do they complain of the exorcise of
the same right in others? They are i* a con
temptible minority—in. a country distinguished
for freedom of discussion—their cause advocat
ed, we are obliged to say, by the first talents in
the Onion.—Still the majority against them,
counting by States is as 23 to 1. These 23, act
ing through the organ of the whole confederacy
declare their schemes subversive of the happi
ness of all, and direct them to be frustrated.—
Yet this is declared to bv out of all character—
the act of bloody savages—having none of the
e» drnces of conformity to the public will—pros
trating the whole frame of our admirable system
and 'aying our liberties at the feet of a tyrant!
Who is most likely to be right in this matter 1
The very few, or the many ? Or, who shall go
vern in this republican Country ?
Killing Kindness.— The Richmond
V\ big, after alluding to the commendation
(reaped on Mr. Clay, by all parties, for
the measure of compromise by which he
has earned the tide of pacificator of the
Republic, says:
**The friends of Henry Clay and his

the 28ih ult. a stack of 86,442 bales.
Our last remarks left (lie market some
what dull, but it soon became more ani
mated, and a fair business progressed at
the rates then quoted. The news from
European markets, particularly from Li
verpool, continuing to be favorable, buy
ers became more confident and liberally
met the views of holders, and sales of
about 20,000 balos have been made dur
ing the week ending on 28ih ult.; prices,
generally, remained without chaogc, but
the good feeling in the market, in some
instances, produced au advance of a frac
tion, say 1-8 cent per lb., though this il
not acknowledged as established, nor do
we quote it other than as a consequence
of an animated maikel. Our memoran
dum of sales furnishes, viz: 1735 bales
at 10*, 1352 at 10*.1100 at H 230 at
9*, 2150 at 10*, 600 at 10,700 10 a 11*,
150 at 12, and 1400 at 9* cents round—
also, one sale <>f 7000 hu es, the panicu
bus, of which we could not learn, but
have reason to believe are embraced by
the range of our quotation* ; as much
may be said of scvoiul oilier large lots—*
amounting in all to üboui 18000 bales of
Louisiana and Mississippi. Os other des
criptions we notice 1100 bales Western
District Tennessee at y*, and SOO at 9
cents per lb. ; these tlosciiptions are now
arriving fieely, and the market will, it is
said, open immediately—we have no re.
mark to make, other than repeat ilia?
which we hear every day, that the quan
tity to arrive will fail short of the receipts
of former years to an impoilant amount.
The first sales of any magnitude, w ill
furnish us with quotations for our hither
to, in this particular, empty columns.

ly fallibility, but clad in « vesture “not made
with hand*,” and that the sweet music-voice of
infancy will plead at .the throne of grace for us.
