Mr. WEBSTER briefly reviewed the histo
ry of the formation of the Constitution and ar
gued that its moaning was to be ascertained oil
its liite, mid wo sit under that constitution and
are bound in obey it. Bill in reference to this
manuscript there were important considerations
to he weighed. Tho Convention which formed
the Constitution, sat wiili closed doors, mid the
only records wo have are the brief |onrtmls on
our shelves. Air. Madison went into the Con
vention with ndesign to report the debates, the
speeches of many of tho members were submit
ted to-them tor rovisiou: it whs undoubted that
be intended to report the debates ; nil these con
siderations entitle bis report to be received Us one
of superior accuracy, and he suW no objection
to the purchase of the manuscript, on the ground
of Constitutionality, nntl much reason flu asking
for it on account of its value, and the light whit h
it nmy he expected to throw on the character of
tho C’oustitution. /
Mr. CRITTENDEN said that if we stood pu
tho strict construction of power to a p propria try
there was no right in Congress to build this splen
did hull, or to furnish it with chairs mid desks,
lie adverted to the expressed willingness of the
last Senator to purchase a number of copies of
tne hook, mid asked him how he could determine
that to buy a manuscript book was iincoiistitu-
tionnl, while to purchase a printed hook was
constitutional. If the remains of James Madi
son were deposited in a remote cornel of the
world, lie (.Mr. C.) would vote for mi exploring
expedition to hunt them ontuml bring them home
without regard to,the cost, and in preference to
tho expedition we are now fitting out to discover
new people. Me should vote for tho resolution.
Mr.CAl.llOUN said that nil oflef Imd been
.made to Mrs. Madison uf aUOO dollars, for the
manuscript bv one house, mid therefore there
was tio danger of the work being suppressed.
Why then was this application made to Con
gress! Why should Congress take the manu
script? He re-sluted that the, reason was (bat
Mr. Madison bus clturged certain legacies upou
die work, and die appropriation was therefore
rather to pay tliese legacies titan to buy the M S.
read,
the twelve
articles of chemicals ijauicd in the letter, out oi
tho hill. The articles proposed to he stricken
uuf uro aquafortis, ninrtnm- acid, bichromate ol
potash, chromatu of potash, tartaric acid, Prus
sian blue, mtlplmto of magnesia, sulphate ot
quinine, Rochelle sails, tartar emetic and ca
lomel.
Mr. SEVIER wished to exempt salts, ca
lomel, and quinine as they were in groat requi
sition in Arkansas, and ward indeed, necessary
articles. Ho moved to divido tho qcsUouati as
to lea ve these three items in thb bill.
Allliie articles except the three named, wore
then stricken from the bill, pud tho throe ex
cepted articles were then stricken out, 24 to IJ.
Air. DAVIS moved to strike out the item
of worsted yam from among the articles on
which the duties are to he repealed—agreed to,
ayes 23. , • ,
Mr. DAVIS moved to strike out “Olive
Oil” from the list of free articles;,negutived,
yeas 1C, mi) 9 10. . ,
Mr. */ALL moved to strike out of, the free
articles “Cbhia, Porcelaiu,'$toue ond Earthen
Ware.”
Mr. WRIGHT stnted that the utnonnt of
these articles imported in I860 was 1,697,000
dollars, and the duty paid on them was 340,000
dollars. . .,
Mr. BUCHANAN said, lie should regard
the repeal of the duties on these articles us an
infringement of the Compromise Act. He
thougnt the motiou should prevail, mid that
tlieso articles should be striken out of the bill.
Mr. WEBSTER thought it would be the
most prudent course to leave out nil articles
on which we hud iitiperlcct uud doubtful infor
mation.
Air. NORVELLasked for the yeas and nays,

would decido whether tho compromise act
should he touched, uud tho question was decided

wHIing his work us a legacy to lie; American
people,because uo one Could tell the motives and
considerations of the most sacred character by
which ho was actuated. It was known that ma
ny gentleman of thepUrest patriotism recom
mended to Mrs. Madison to ofier that work to
otfer that work to Congress, uud sliu had done
what she thought due to Congress, to her la
mented husband, and the importance of the
work itself, when she submitted the work to
Congress. .
Mr. CALHOUN explained for the purpose of

Correspondence of the Charleston Mercury.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 20,1837.
The grand drama, iu which Texas, M«x ice
and the United States have so dong figured, is
drawing to a close The plot is so far develop*
ed, that we can now antietpute its document.
Texas is to be recognized, and annexed to the
Union, with the assent uud aid of Mexico.
The treaty concluded between Geuernl Jack-
sonnrid the Mexican President, Snutn Aunn,
provides, that the boundary between the United
States and the United Mexican States, shall be
the Rio del Norte, und that Texas shall be free
and independent. The United States 011 their
part, agree to assume tlio payment to onr citi
zens, of their claims on the government of Afex
ico, which are estimated at two millions and to
discharge .Mexico from all liabilities on that ac
count. They agree also, to confirm nil the
grams of laud in Texos, made by tiie Mexicah
government, in cases where the grantees iinvo
complied with the conditions of their grants; and
to make 11 pro rata allowuuco upon grunts, the
conditions of which have, in any pnrt beeti ful
filled.
By a recent negociation with Texas, her as.
sent to these terms has been signified. She,
pomes into the Union on a footing with the ori
ginal States.
The formal recognition of her independence,
proposed on Saturday, is mtundud to muko her
free to assert or refuse tho terms, and relieve
her from the embarrassment of appearing to be
transferred, by a treaty between Mexico and the

wind blowing quite fresh from south east uud
tvas very foggy. About Imif past 11 the wind
dumped very suddenly to tho N. VV. blowing
a gale. From the perilouf situation in which
the brig whs in, without a rudder, tho captain
concluded it would lie better to gel the vessel
ashore somewhere, if possible, by which means
our lives,as well ab cargo inightbe saved. About
this lime the light of Cape Look Out came in
sight, tiie fog clearing oft’, distance about one
time. We endeavored by shifting tho position
of the sails to gain fiio light, but it was imnossi-
bio to do so, us the wind beaded too much, but
struck the shore one mile to the south of (ho
Cape. We remained heatiug on tlid beuch
night, with a tremendous sea breaking over
every minute, looking forward with tin* great
est anxiety fur day break, to seel and get ashore
if possible. The looked for hour arrivedT-or-
dors were given to clear the boat, and all hands
to get in The bout however no sooner touched
the water than was filled, capsized and dashed
to pieces in the surf. It was fortunuto for us
all it so happened, for it was impossible n bout
of the kind could live on such 11 sen, much less

PROSPECTUS OF THE
BRUNSWICK ADVt). ATE;
A Weekly Paper, to bo published atBruiuwick,
'Glynn, Co., Georgia.
; *3 111’, causes which render necessary thecs
JL labllshnieut of this Press, und its claims
lu tiro support of the public, cun best be prs-
serried by tire statement of a fow facts.
Brunswick possesses a harbor, which for ac
cessibility, spaciousness mid security, is une
qualled on tiro Southern Const. This, of it
self, would he sufficient to rondo r its growth ra
pid, audits unportunco purinanont; lor tho best
port southof tne Potuinuc must become tire site
of u great commercial city. Uni when totlris is
added the singular salubrity of the climate, free
from those noxious exhalations generated by the
union of salt and river wators, and which are In
deed “channel aim’’ to a white population, it
must be admitted that Burnswick contains all
tho requisites for u healthy and populous city,
Tims much has been the’work o'f Nulure, but
already Art hns begun lo lend her aid to this fa
vored spot, and the industry of man. tidsfuir -o
iucroase iis capacities,nnd add to its importance
a hundred fold. In a fow months, u cunul will
open to the harbor of Brunswick the vast and
fertiln country tlrnmgh which flow the Altainalra
anil its great tributaries. A Rail Raid will short
ly bo commenced, terminating at Pensacola,
thus uniting tho waters of tho Gulf of Mexico
with the Atlantic Ocean. Other. Rail Roads in
tersecting the Slate in various directions, will
make Urmiswick their depot, aud a largo pot-
lion of tho Volley of the Mississippi will rot
find'itsway lo her wharves,’ Such, in a few
words,are the principal causes wlrlpli will op
ernto in rendering Brunswick the principal city
of the South. But wlnlo iti advaniagos ore so
numerous and obvious, there have been found
individuals and presses'prpmpted by selfish fears|
and interested motives, to|opposa ml undertak*-
ing which musladd so much to tiro importance ,
and prosperity, of tho State. Their united
powers are now upplied ip thwart in every pos
sible manner, this grdat public benefit. Misrep
resontntiun and ridicule, invective nnd dcqunci-
utiun have beeti 'heaped on Brunswick niidiU
friends. To counteract these efl'orts by the pub
lication and wide dissemination of tilts fuels—to
present the qlaimtof Brunswick;■ to the cairn-
fidenco mid favor of the puhlic, and to furnish
information relating to all the grqatworksof In
ternal improvement new going on through tlio
the State, and loaid in developing tho resources
of Georgiu, will bo tho loading objects of this
Press.
Such being iu old mid aim, interference in
the party politics of file day would bo improper
and impolite. Brunswick has recoived Ireuohw
ft-pm—it has friends in ell parties—end every
consideration ts.opposod tp rondoring tu P«“
the organ of a party. To i)ie citizens ol Geor
gia—and not to tho members of n party—to in®
