“'I think you may set it down as a settled
point, that there will bn no definitive action ou
the subject of the Tariff", during this session.—
The House, you may rest assured, will do no

Lut wc are going beyond our object in this once to the general principle, there is felt very
article; which was merely.that of inviting the j little con5ern t aud this,wijl not weigh a feather
in issue of the matter. The attitude which
South Carolina assumed created some alarm in
Congress, but only until men began to deliber
ate upon, and to debate tho matter. It lias at
this moment not the slightest influence. The
memiicfs, coupling, them by numbers, which,
after all, is the most coqdijsive mode, have al
together lost sight of thegcncral principle, aud
are only looking to their own loc&l objects,

done in the way of regulating the Tariff, arid
South Carolina will be obliged to bo contented
j wi h the present state of things in fact, and the
gislature, who are constant and anxious auditors
in the two Houses. I presume that they have
been drawn hither by the exciting character of
the crisis in which we have been thrown.

REDUCTION. Wc are glad to sec the sub
ject of Reduction claiming the attention of the
public: as it is a subject upon which, at this time
too much thought cannot be bestowed; At a
period of such general depression as this, w-heii
the scarcity of money was never more :everclv
felt, it is highly proper that the people should set
about retrenchment in the expenditures of the
government. With an exhausted Treasury, the
increased number of Reprcseulives in the Legis
lature trill call for an increased burthen ofTnx-
cs which the people are little able to bear. Ad
dition*! Taxes, or Redaction in our Representa
tion, arc the only alternatives. We.-have no
doubt which alternative the people will prefer;
and. as far as we are able, we promise to co-op-
cratc with them in bringing about this all-impor-
tant measure. It is to be hoped that party Spir
it (that br.nc of ref-nnation,) may for a while

unanimously into this great work.

WASHINGTON, FEBRUARY IS.
“This has been a day of much talking, but
of trivial action*. It was expected on- Saturday
•Vening that Mr Poindexter, who had obtain
ed the floor, would niak : a .speech, learned,
potent and long; hut it was bruited about early
tliis morning that he had a pain in his breast,
and that the bellows of-his lungs would not be
able to perform their fbirctions so efficiently, as
to cnablu him to arresj rind fix the car of the
Senate for any lri.igili of time. The report was
confirmed wlipn, at the hour for calling the spe

ety of amendments were then offered all of
which met with the like fate, being voted down
by krgo majorities).producing no other effect
than that of enabling certain political leaders
to disencumber themselves o£ft considerable
load of acrimonious matter. All these motions
will be found on the records of the day. Mr.
Forsyt’1 made long, and, trhat is somewhat
strange in tin* annals of his efforts, a rather dull
speech, in which he went into a history of all
the difficulties which bad arisen between the
United fixates and the State of Georgia on ac
count of the Indiriffs; and of the adroit part
which he bad played in removing all these dif-

Union of these States relies more firmly than
<">ur rights reserved, rights expressed, or rights
attempted, to beenfoiced by State Ordinances,
State Laws, State Troops, State tlireats, or
any other State contrivances whatsoever.—
The Senate lias endeavored, evening after
evening, to bring to a close the discussion on
the Judiciary Bill. Today Mr. Poindexter,
who is physically incompetent, yet - mentally
competent, to a pretty foiig effort, spoke for 2A
hours. In the course of his remarks, he made
some attacks on Mr. Webster, as to the con
duct of that gentleman during the war. The
attack was made in the shape of interrogatories.
Mr; Webster said ho should not make any re
ply to the questions put by the Senator from
Mississippi, whom he evidently regarded as the
Jackal of Mr. Calhoun, but that if the same
questions should be put by the Senator from
South Carolina himself, he would then answer
them in ,a proper manner. Tiie reply of Mr.
Poindexter was much more brief than satis
factory, and amounted to this—that lie lipid
the Senator from Massachusetts m the most
perfect contempt. Sucfl tin’ answer was too
conclusive to provoke farther reply. In refer
ence to the promises by which such a conclu
sion was reached, that was entirely another
thing. Mr. Webster spoke not a word: aud
the Senate adjourned till 5 o’clock, when Mr.
Grundy got up and addressed the Senate in a
pretty long speech, considering the hour of the
evening. . , . ^ ...
Ills speech, according to fiiS own admissfori'i
was assigned to hint by the Judiciary Commit
tee, by way of winding up the discussion. It
was the desire of most of the parties to bring
the debate to a close, in order to allow a chance
for Mr. Clay’s Tariff" Bill to be debated ; but
debate will close its brief career.

• “WASHINGTON, FEB. 22.
f ‘We have had considerable debate today in
the Senate, on the bill introduced by Mr. Clay.
The course which Mr. Calhoun'and his friends
took, has somewhat changed : *fhe aspect of
things, and some of the senators declared, after
the adjournment, that affairs bad not, for some
years, worn such an auspicious appearance for
the country. It is, however, too soon to speak
with any certainty, as to the result of the debate,
and even should the Bill pass tho Senate, it will
have to encounter a much more formidable and
dangerous process of hostility in the other
House. At present, I see very little reason to
expect that any Bill will finally pass, although
it is not quite so improbable as it seemed yes-
terda}’. Tho death of Mr. Lent, a member
of the House from the State of New York, has
been injurious to the progress of the public bu
siness. It entirely closed the House of Rep
resentatives today, after it was announced, and
the Senate adjourned about 4 o^clock, as soon
as the -message communicating tbe fact was
brought to that' body. Tomorrow there will bo

the bouse of Bowman, about the 14th December,

on entering the house Bowman seized his gun
and a.fight ensued, which Bowman protracted
until overpowered. The Indians killed Bow

O N the first Tuesday in APRIL next,
will he sold before the court house in the
fCass cotmtv, on the se- j town of Forsyth, Monroe county, within theusg-
cond Monday in September, at which time he | al hours of sale
will be tried.
xv uicli is published in all the
papers. This is
es pro and con. As there are but eleven days
for Congress to sit, it is a Lcnerallv leceived
opinion, that no Tariff" bill can he pa. u da
ring the pr. .sent session. The last hope of
those who have dreamed or deemed that the.
bill introduced by Mr. Clay would give relief
to the South, and peace between Giem and th:*
other sections of tiie l. don, is fading away, as
the few* .days between us ;uil the termination
of the session rapidly diminish.
“Air. Calhoun is .expected to address the
Senate in reply to Mr. Webster, before the fi
nal question shall be taken on the bill. IL
compliments the speech of Mr. Webster as a
prodigious effort, but still as the eff ort of a law
yer. The distinction drawn between the eflort-
of those distinguished men, is that the one is a
philsophical, and the other a legal argument.
It is a * ompetition between law and philosophy,
and the result is to prove whether we are t
exist under the dominion of law, or dw’indl
consequence ofthe funeral. The Senate will J which formerly supported a s**alc beam. The
not meet until or.'.* o'dock, and I understand j bodies were cold, their hands clasped, and their
000 5,C P« nnd a very important stop in the pro-1 under the discipline of philosophy. The de-
thnt a motion will be mSrikle that tiie House shall
meet after the funeral, witli a hope, rather than
an expectation, that the Tariff Bill can. be push
ed through in one shape or another, in the* course
of tbe evening. I c mnot exactly see how this
is to be,cflccted. It is understood that several
members have their private plans to propose in
the shape of amendment or' substitute, and the
result must be, ft" they* persist in their plans,
ind the previous question should not be inter
posed, distant, if not doubtGil. One of the
schemes which is much talked of, is ofllb pro-
jected by Judge BouldM, of VirgiriiK, who is
mich looked up to by gentlem :n from that part
of the country’. 1 send you an abstract of bis
Bill.
Mr. Randolph lias not yet made his appear
ing* in the House. It is said that lie is so
much indisposed that it is necessary to lift him
iii and out of bed. In that case, he wiil not be
likely to trouble Congress with his presence.—
There are several members of the Virginia Lc
faces and lips in contact. They had stood" fa
cing each other—one upon two shops trips the
other upon a box, placed in a chair.
Mr; Carter and Miss Bradiee were engaged
to be married.ftf each other, v.qth the approba
tion and ednsenf .of their several parents. Du
ring the autumn’of 1331, .Mr. C. who had long
kept in the store ofMr. Bradiee,"went to Nfiw
Orleans, to do business there, and Mr. B. hav
ing the misfortune to lose his son, his junior
partner, wrote to Mr. Carter, as his future son
iti law, that if his prospects were not very rood,
be Wifirld like to have him return to Boston,
and-assist him in his business. Mr. C. return- j
ed last autumn, and enterd the store ot'Mr. B. j
accordingly. During the present winter,Mr.
Bradiee proposed to sell out his stock to Mr.
Carter,—but no definite arrangement was con
cluded between them, owing to their not pre
cisely agreeing upon the terms, although tra
unkind words or feelings resulted from th;
i transaction.
The circumstances of this cruel outrage, we
know have been variously stated and tho num
ber of persons, its victims, much augmented.
Persons at a distance are, we think unnecessa
rily alarmed for the safety of their friends, re
siding in or visiting this section , of the State.
VVe do not believe that the Indians, bail any.
other motive than robbing BotVhian, which from
his spirited resistance, could not be done, but j
with the loss ofhis life; We mingle with the I
Indians every day, large numbers of them visit '
the house where We an* situated and we do not
perceive any cause .or feet any apprehension i
of danger from them. Wq believe there is no 1
danger,—persons alone and in companies are, i
continually, traversing the country in every di- |
ruction, looking at what fortune may have giv
en them in tliis interesting -country or bringing
their- families tef’d new home. We have not
heard of the slightest circumstance calculated
to excite the least alarm since the murder of
Bowman. We are indebted to the politeness
of--Eli M’Connell Esq. for the statement of
facts wo have, above detailed.
