Congress of the United States. 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. address produced very stroog feel 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 have a free, foil and bona fida discharge. 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 tinues to gore them afier they are utterly defunct; but I could uevei look with much satisfaction upon his mangling of a dead body, or dragging a dead Hector around the walls of Troy. “fn private life there is no telling what he is. He is noi a subject lor ordinary speculation.

Fearing no one in the world, he makes all the world fear him. “He is 30 ardent admirer of ladies, horses and dogs, but does not know to which he gives tho preference,so equallv is his es'eeni divided among them.

The Panorama of Waterloo was exhibited hete fov the first time OYI Monday night. A crowded house enjoyed the interesting exhibition. A description ol it will be found in tin; bills and the pamphlets acrompaay ing it.

Charles F Mercer, of Virginia, is the only memher South of the Petoumc, that voted u gaiust Mr. Clay ’» bill.

Grotl Luck. —Mr. Baker of Savannah, lately sold to a gentleman of that city, combination Nu. 16, 39, 41, in the Mary land State Lottery,.which proved to be » capital prize «f $20,000. What ire our Lottery Bmkers about? They used ;o be clever in that way. We must try them again. They cannot give us prizes tin less we buy tickets. 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. “Seek other cause ’gainst Rhordertck Dhu-” “ 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 Windsor, where upwards of 500 of the yeonmnry of southern soil attended, their chairman. Judge Harris, a southern man t>y birth and feeling and good sense, was directed to nominate a Committee of five persons,'who should select delegsj.es to represent Richmond County in that Con vention. He did so. Who were they ? 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 renown, could not entertain a better wish than that lie should n«w die, when his name fill* the trumpet of fame, and lest peradveoiari something may hereafter oc cur to diminish its lustra. ** The mee'ing of the Union Uonventiofa of 3d.
