V„nHed to refer to that committee. I o carry
'!.! in t 0 execution, n*d to divide the matter ac-
nr'linS to the arrangement in the Message; be Imd
ixde his present motion.
Mr Daeii of 8. Carolina, suggested an alterati*
. i„ the phraseology, so as to inuke it read-that
" ch re |ates to manufacture*, be referred to
Ilf Committee on Manufactures ; and that so
Lrh as relates to Revenue, he referred to the
Lmittee on Ways and Means.
J Mr Marlin said, that Ins object was not to pro.
Ll .. hat to allay discussion, when he offered his
[mrndment. It appeared however, that the oifly
I (Terence between the gentleman from N. York,
Id the gentleman from Tennessee, and Imnself,
In about words. The question was simply how
1‘ h should lie referred to these distinct Com-
tiuee« The only fear of the gentleman from N.
Fork seemed to lie. Hint the Committee on Mann-
telares might decide on matters which did not
nm » properly within its sphere, lie thought the,
li.minittce might he fairly left to determine its own
bin re of duties. It appeared to him to he plain
hd intelligible. The idea is that the tariff, so far
L concerns our manufactures, is a subject njv-
L .riafe for the action of the Committee on Mn-
uiactures; undtiml the subject, as it relates to re*
emu*, in for the notion of another committee.—
To meet this view, lie had submitted his pnijioslti-
Ijlolhc House: and lie would take occasion to
L v( it, slionld Hie amendment of the gentleman
lim New-York he rejected ; so that not only ten
Wwli'er, concerning which the gentleman from
inr York tjcomnd to feel the deepest anxiety, hut
which high duties tiro laid for the
•urpose of revenue, should be referred to the coin-
Vine of Ways and Means. That was tits object.
Mr. Polk imt'cad that this discussion, which Imd
runexpectedly arisen, was merely a discussion
L|)t words. He could assure the House that
Lonly object w as to refer that part of the Mes-
Wwhich relates t" manufactures to the appropri-
le committee. It was now tlic time to determine
List the duties of the Committee of Wavs uud
(leans aro. Whatever concerns the revenue of
lie Union belong* appropriately to that roinrnil-
Ile had thought, when lie made his proposi-
. that tea and coffeh required a separate speci-
wxtlon. In 4 this lie had been corrected hv the
iaair, win regarded tiicse as subjects to be con-
Jcred within the cognizance of that committee
< a matter of course. If so, the amendment of-
ireii by the gentleman from S. Carolina would he
u unnecessary as thut tvhieli lie himself had with-
ktrswn, which was similar in its import. He hud
.apposed that the resolution embraced all which
the gentleman from N. lurk should require. He
thought it Mmature to raise discussions morel-
as to form of words, the effect of which might h
a give an interpretation to the Message which
Bight not Us warranted, on partial views, uud witb-
pit that delitienite examination which ought to be
■ken.
I Mr. H H stum asked if it would be In order to
hore to strike out Ihn words “ modification of the
faviir," and to substitute ‘'domestic mnnufuc-
Iresl"
The Speaker decided that the motion 'would not
r in order, until the question should lit- detcwmln-
TOn tlic amendment of the gcutlemnn from Neiv
iark.
Mr. Siam said that. on reading tlic Message,
id nut occur to him that part which relates to lea
id cetti-e iiad anv referenco to the i|iiestion of
Uaulartures. The question intended to be sub-
fife' 11 in the Message is, xvhetherthe duties on teH
id coffee may not be reduced when the state of
»revenue will no longer require these duties.—
i>thought 'his had uo reference whatever to the
P'‘r: of Manufactures. His object was to strike
nt the words “the modification of the Tariff,"
H 10 insert in lieu therof, the words “domestic
vuiufactnres." This would ho plain language,
.lottobe misunderstood.
The motion of Mr. Taylor to nmend the rcsolu-
|i'on was then rloeided in the negative.
I Mr, Slorrj then made his motion to strike out
f* "'°rds "the inodifioation of the Tariff.” uud
aj'irt the words “domestic manufactures.”
Ir. McDuJJie said it was originally his object to
J”" 1 (lle inference that tlic President intended «i-
. [•' recommend any increased, or only a di-
pwlion of duties He thought the amendment
anted to imply that there was nothing in the Mts-
■W on the subject of the modification of the Ta-
“■ which did not look to the increase of duties,
’thought it might ns reasonably be presumed to
iii 0 »1 IC ^uuoboh of the duties. The language
'no Message is equally applicable to reduction
to mcrcnsq,of duties. He prufered the amend-
peat of the gontlemau from New-York, wliich had
P*en just negatived. Ilis object wus to convey
P mea that the modification of all duties, who-
* r .® increase or diminish them, should lie re-
r —'Hothe.Committeo on Manufactures.

The Legislature adjourned rinc rffc'on Momlnv
evening last, after passing 170 Acts, the greater
part of which are, as usual, of a private or local
nature. We regret to notice, ns constituting a part
of the labours of the session, a very large number
of Divorce acts. The necessity for this species
of legislation to such an extent, if the necessity nc>.
lually exist, exhibits no flattering picture. We
are disposed to think it might he hotter to adopt
the practice of some of our sister States, where di
vorces are granted only in cases of extreme bard-
ship, which do not very often occur. We give lie-
lew the titles of the principal acts, and the striking
features of as many of them as we Imd time to ex
amine. The Incorporation into another act, just
before the final adjournment, of a clause reviving
and enforcing the uct of 1817, prohibiting the in
troduction of Slaves into the State, except in par
ticular cases, i» not the least important measure of
the laic session. Our renders will recollect that
tlio act of JHI7 allows the introduction of Slaves
by persons.residing in, or removing to, the State,
on complying with certain requisitions, but impo
ses ahea.vy fine and makes it a Penitentiary offence
where slaves are brought into the State for sale
For the numerous provisions of the act, wo refer
the reader to Prince's Digest, p. U73.

Tp.authorize the Inferior court* of fhfr scvorzl
simplicity anil clenrcssof it? style, the strong
common sense of its views, (lie directness and va
lue of its propositions—and above all, the just nnd
admirable exposition? which it furnishes of the con
stitutional principles ol o*r government. Mr. Ad-
nms’s message was oilculated to sweep down all
the barriers which restrained tlie encroachments
of the federal authority. The message before n?
pays that respect to the rights ot' the istntes, which
is.essential lo the preservation of our political in
stitutions. We hud these " Signs of the Times"
with the greatest satisfaction.
“ W o have no room to day for any copious com
mentary upoil Mie message. Tho general princi
ples which it lays down for the regulation of our
foreign relations tire conformable lo the genius of
oor country The liberal andcouciliatoryreiiiarks
w hich il makes, concerning Great Britain, France,
ttp.iiin, Russia, tlie other powers of Europe, the
Burbary Slates, nnd the Republic? of South Ame
rica, are justly, conceived, and happily expressed.
They are accurately discriminated, as il respects
these different nntkina—and throughout, the “ set
tled purpose” is manifested ” to ask nothing that
is not clearly right, nnd to submit to nothing thnl
i> wrong." All that we are sorry for, is, that our
Ministers to England, France ami Spain, huve not
been long enough nt these respective Courts, to
permit our Government to spread their despatches
before the world. Wo anticipate with much idea-
sure the production of these State papers—as fur
nishing other evidences of the ability of the ad
ministration. It seems that Mr. Poingett is recalled
at the request of the Mexican government.
" The recommendations rfinde by tlie Resident
are as ingenious, open, unequivocal, as fhey are
important. He proposes a direct election of the
President by the people ot the States—the secur
ing of n “ lair expression of the will of (lie majo
rity—a provision, at all events, for guarding the
integrity of Congress ugninst corruption—the li
mitation of the service of the Chief Magistrate to
a single term. He proposes a modification of the
provisions of the existing Tariff, according to the
principles he sets forth. He exputiutes upon the
benefits of internal Improvements—hut, at the
same time, suggests the expediency of removing
all doubt about their unconstitutionality by nppeul-
ing to tlie sovereign authority, for an amendment
to tlie Constitution, lie expresses the highest res
pect for the reserved rights of the States—declares,
emphatically, the truth, tliut this is a “Govern
ment of limited und specific and not general pow
ers,” and that ” if experience points out the neces
sity of an enlargement of these |»owers," we
ought to apply for it to those for whose benefit it
is to be Exercised, nnd not undermine the whole
system, by a resort to overstrained constructions.”
Me suggests various nnd important changes—
Plans for guarding our revenue against the faith
less agents, who have in latter times plundered the
treasury—Changes of great consequence for the
economy nnd efficiency of our Navy und Army.
The wlmle passage about the Indians is a benutilul
and |snverful 'composition. Ilis suggestion about
a financial substitute for the Bank of tlie United
States, (avoiding, it is presumed, the right to erect
incorporations^, other unconstitutional features,) is
of the express between Raleigh uud this place, it is
proper to state, thnt ii watch wits brought along
from Raleigh with a written statement of the time
the Express left. We have yet heard of no speed
equal to that from Raleigh—almost 19 miles nil
hour. The Message wag delivered ht N. York in
15J lioura—235 miles—15 miles nil hour. It arriv
ed a' Augusta, Georgia, at 12 o'clock of the day
after it left here,—250 miles in I9A hour?, or (300
miles from Washington City, in 47.j hours.

was claimed on Monday lust, by Mr. Douglass? of

with a liberality which does credit to their feel

gratitude of the slave can be easily imagined.—
Huch nn Instance of Immunity we venture to assert
lias never been evinced in any hourding-liOuse es

interest manifested for the slave, hi* master, with
commendable lilierality, reduced the price from

Mr. Wiltshire, late British Consul at
Magadore, whose kindness to American
seamen, wrecked or enslaved on thnt in-

of Capt. Utley, has rendered his name fu-

lately summoned before tlie London Po-

apprechite its merits, when it is furnished with a
developement of its details—In truth, we Imve
scarcely ever seen a paper, which bus so little
(.linked the discussion of vurious and responsible
propositions.”
The Nfcw-York Evening Post remarks as fol
lows :
“ The Message will not disappoint the feeling
of general nnd almost intense interest and expec
tation with which it has been looked for by the
community. • We do not know when we have
read a better written, a more well digested, or, in
general, n more satisfactory document. It is neat
and perspicuous iu style, unincumbered with the
technicalities of diplomacy, free from affection,
yet not without point, and disposing fully yet con
cisely the. multitude of important topics it em
braces. It is, on the whole, a State paper worthy
of communicating the views,entertained by a innu
of clear strong understanding, applying bis pow
erful faculties to public affairs; and it cannot fail,
we should think, to add tothe popularity of our
excellent Chief Magistrate and his administrati

A recurrence to the circumstance of the meeting
of ]he First Congress, at New-York, for tlie pur
pose oT contrasting them with the circumstances
under which Congress now meets, presents facts
which must he gratifying to every lover of his
country and every admirer of its Institutions.
In the Senate, on the day of meeting of the.
First Congress, eight members only attended; and
it wus twenty-nine days before n quortim could be
got together. In the House of Representatives,
thirteen Members only attended on the first day:
it was nineteen daps before nny Memlier arrived
from New-York, New Jersey Delawnrj, Mary
land, or Georgia: audit was twenty seven Jays be
fore a quorum was formed.
Now, from tlie widened bounds of this extend
ed Republic—from regions tlion unexplored by
tlie whitemati, and from other regions then imeer
foreign sway, have assembled, on the first day of
the session, about nine-tenths of the whole num
ber of two hundred and sixty-four Senators, Rep-
rosentntive?, ami Delegates, nearly one-half of
whom travel hither from a distance greater than
that travelled by any Members of the first Congress
(except perhaps half a dozen,1 We see in this
piinctunlityi'lhe'evidence of a settled system of
Government, and of an interest in the transacti
ons of that Government, correspondent with their
real and growing importance. We sec in it 'evi-
lence also of the rapid march of improvement,
and of (lie effect nf the discoveries, in science,
whicli have brought together as neighbors those
who were'formerly separated from each other by
trackless wilds, or by hazardous and uncertain
lakes, bays, nn<| water-courses, We find in jt,
locreqiyifr^roMv jnotives for pmeverasirttJn that
vantz, a Jew, whom he brought front M«-
gadore. Tire complainant stated that Mr,
\V. had compelled him by threats ol'per
zonal violence, to sign a paper implicating
himself in tlie crime of theft at Magadore,
which would subject him in thut country
to the loss of bis linitds. Mr. W, stated
thntthe conipluinuut, in conjunction with
his other servants nt Mngudoreq robbed
him of considerable sums of money by
means of false keys, a fact lie bud fully
ascertained since his return to England,
and that his object was to obtain the con
fession of the Jew in order to bring his
accomplices to punishment, or to recov
er the money ; that lie had not used threats,
ami .had expressly stipulated with the com
plainant that any confession he might
make should not Ire used against him oi
his return to Magadore. lie also stated
that Ire believed there was a conspiracy n-
■nnngsome Jews, with whom the coinplai-
iiant then resided, to extort money from
him. Tire Magistrate said the charge
sworn to by the complainant was a very
serious one, nnd after a full view of the e
vidence, he felt under the necessity of re
quiring bail to a considerable amount. A
brother of Mr. Wiltshire was also implt
ented, and they gave bonds to the sum of
