Neither House of Congress salon Friday or Saturday.On Monday, in Ihe Senate, Mr. Clay submitted a resolution declaring that llio act known as the Sub-Treasury act ought to be forthwith repealed, and in-instructing the committee on Finance to report a bill accordingly. Mr. Clay also submitted a resolution, which was ordered to be printed, calling on the Secre-tary of the Treasury to communicate to the Senate certain information on the subject of public lands their amount as reported from the several Land Offices under a resolution of April 25,1828, their quality, average value, and the amount since sold, discriminating between the amounts reported and sold in the districts respectively, etc. Mr. Rubles, of Maine, sub-milted a resolution callint! upon the President to com-municate to the Senate, if nut incompatible with the public interest, any correspondence, not heretofore communicated, between this Government and that of Great Britain, relative to the Northeastern Boundary! and also, any correspondence had with the Governor of Maine on the same subject. In Ihe House, Ihe Speaker announced the standing committees for the session, upon which Ihe National Intelligencer makes ihe following remarks, which we copy as conferring a high and merited compliment to one of our distinguished and worthy members: The committees appear to have been lillle varied in their composition from the organization of the last year, unless as made necessary by the decease or resignation of Members. At the bend of the committee on Public Lands, we observe, to succeed Mr. Corwin. resigned, is plac ed that experienced and faithful Representative fr Ohio, Jebemiah Mounow, who, for many years previous to the last twenty year presided over that committee, first in the House of Representatives, and afterwards iniliH Senate. In b lh llmse bodies, the confidence in bis integiity, and his perf el lamtliartiy Willi Ihe subject, gave to his opinions a decisive Influence on all questions concerning Public Lands, the legislation upon which, during the Administration of Presidents J.ffrson, Madison, and Monroe, was in a material degree Ihe fruit of his counsels and unwea-ned devoiion lo his duties. There seems to be a peculiar fitness in his being restored to his old post BANK OF NEW BRUNSWICK. An article in the Statesman of Thursday, in relation to the Farmers and Meehanis's Bank of New Bruns-wirk. renders il proper that we should give the other side) fur the partisan leal of Ihe Statesman so far out-alrips discretion and a regard for public interest, when gloating upon a bank bill discredited from some source, that it never occurs lo him that he may pnssi-bly excite unreasonable alarm and subject hundreds to unnecessary loss. It may be, however, his parly having so largely increased the number of Banks within the lasl ten or twelve years, that it is now a part of their system, while operating to excite the people against ihe Banks, to play into the hand of the Brokers to the injury of Ihe people. Thus, while a few may reap some profit, (and perhaps the editor or some of his particular friends.) many may be injured, and by their losses be made to join ihe hard currency party. We have seen some questions asked the Statesman about (he " Millington Bank," which he refera lo, as to Ihe amount of " Millington" bills in ihe hands of certain contractors on the public works. If we remember aright, il was said that some $5000 of it was left in the hands of one of llicm, the bubble bursling before he had shifted il off upon Ihe workmen. Lei it be remembered, also, that ibis "trash" obtained credit and circulation in many parts upon the editorial endorsement and recommendation of Ihe Globe and Baltimore Republican. But to our purpose: premising, thai of ourselves we know nothing about the Bank of Now Brunswick: Doubts have been thrown out in this city respect-ing Ihe soundness of the Farmers' and Mechanics' Bank of New llrunswicli, since me unexplained disappearance of Ihe President, Mr. Suydam. We say it wilh pleasure and confidence, that no fears need bo entertained. The pecuniary interest! of the bank are not at all involved in that painful mystery. A notice to that effect, we perceive, has been published by Ihe Directors. Ihil. Am. Sentinel. The sudden and unaccountable disappearance of Mr. Suydam, who has not yet been heard of, has tended very much to depress the hills of ihe Farmers' and Mechanics' Bank al New Brunswick, N. J., of which Mr. S. was President. We are assured, on reliable authority, that the Bank is in good condition, and thai there is no cause for holders or other! having claims against the institution to be alsimed. The lamented Mr. Soydum had a large depnaile in ihe bank at the lime of his disappearance, and his private aC. fairs do not seem to be embarrassed. The Hank, we understand, will soon publish a statement of ils condition. The general impression respeciing Mr. Suydam i, thai under sudden excitement he lost control of himself and committed suicide. .V. '. Timet d Star.

What will the freemen of thai Stale think of partisan! who will not allow a seal in the Senate of the United Stales lo be filled after be ing vacsul for two years! But so il is. The Senate is lied, 10 to 1C and all the Van Buren members, in eluding two who are not rightfully enliiled lo seats, have united in opposition to a resolution fur the elec lion of I U, S. Senator. "DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES." Acting upon ibis principle, the Federalists in the Missouri Legislature, in the spirit of lyranny and unfairness which has marked the whole course of their parly, have determined not to permit a full record of their proceedings in their Journal! They were determined lo put upon record a set of resolutions embodying Ihe Federal slang of "British gold," "the people bought up, and ruled, hy the Foreign Money-power," "General Harrison elected by Foreign Bankers and British gold," and all such fine compliments to the independent and intelligent freemen who dared to exercise their inalienable right of voting for the man of their choice, and against the Spoilers who had arrested every whel in that vast and complicated system of enterprise and industry which was rapidly advancing us to Ihe greatest, most prosperous, and most happy nation upon earth : but they well knew that their resolutions would be worse than useless to their purpote, if they admitted into the same record such incontrovertible and overwhelming testimony against them, and in vindicaiion of the immense majority of American freemen whom it was their impotent desire lo itigmulize. Hence, as they had the power, they determined that Truth, which would not down at bidding, should not rise up, like (lie ghoBt of Banquo, to paralyze the honest mind which might be searching the procioui records of the Missouri Legislature of 1810 for some evidence that the People in that year were such fools and corrupt knaves as lo bo "bought up" against their interest. But "Trtilli crushed lo enrtti. will rlie again ; The eternal yean ol (iail are Iter's : Wlilla error, wounded, wrllliei In pain, And dies amid lior worshippers." Why men cannot see that such attempts always recoil with twofold force upon themselves, has ever been a mystery to us, and admits but the solution of the ancient maxim, that corrupt and unprincipled men, or those whom God and Nature devote to destruction, are first made mail. Correspondence at tlie 81. I.onli Hullclln. Crrv or Jefferson, Dee. 5, 1810. We have had a very exciting time in the House today, and a most extraordinary course has been taken by the Van Buren party. At an early hour Ihe famous resolutions of the Speaker, (Mr. Price,) were laken up, anil the question being on their adoption, Mr. ('nailer, of St. Charles, moved to strike out all after I ln word "Resolved," in the first resolution, and insert in lieu thereof, the following; llrfderd. That the recent election for President of (lie United Stales, which has just terminated in the eleciion of General William Henry Harrison, of Ohio, was not made in London, as has been stated on this Door, but waa the free and voluntary act of the American people, uncontrolled by any foreign influence. Ilrtolved, Thai any statement or insinuation, that ihe American people can be controlled or directed, in the manner of bestowing their votes fur any office within Iheir gift, by any oilier than the most honorable motives, is highly derogatory to their diameter as freemen, and deserves Ihe reprehension of every honorable mind. Hmdrcd, Thai this is peculiarly the rase, as il applies to the highest Executive officer in ibis nation; and lhal nny statement or iiisinualion, lhal Ihe people have been influenced in said eleciion hy the gold of England, is lo attribure lo ihem the most sordid motives is highly insulting lo Ihem, as freemen, and mint spring from a mind which is lost to all sense of respect fur the will of the people. liemilved. Thai all such Mntemenla or insinuations are derogatory to the character of republican governments, nnd disclose the opinion, in those who utter ihem, lhal the people are incapable of self-government. and deserve the reprehension of this House, and of every friend of republican government. rVfoAW, That we continue lo oppose the policy of offering ihe bonds of Ihe Stale for sale in Ihe European market ; we disclaim any authority to recal from that market such bonds of Ihe Stale as have been delivered In the hank in payment of slock, subscribed by the Stale without Ihe consent of Ihe hank, but earnestly recommend that the bank withdraw from said market all Ihe honni of the Statu remaining unsold.tVioiW, That Ihe letters of Frederick Hulh & Co., of London, dated February 29th, June 3d, and September llth, 1810, disclose some evidence that the mal-adminislraiion of Ihe Federal Government, and Ihe uncalled for attempts of a part of Ihe members of the United Stales Senate, lo destroy the credit and standing of the Slates, have rendered ihe bonds of of Ibis and other Stales unsaleable at almost any price, when bul a few yean since they were in demand al par. Iletolreil, That while we ask no legislation on Ihe pan of Congress to increase the value of the bonds of the Stales, we deprecate any course by thai body or any of its members, which has a tendency to depreciate the value of American securities, or iujuro the credit of any of the Stales, at home or abroad. Ueuileed, Chat there is no evidence before this General Assembly that il is in the contemplation of Congress, to pass a law by which the General Government will assume or guarantee the payment of Slate debts, and the adoption of any resolutions anticipating an oc currence not likely to happen, is derogatory lo the iliu miy or mis Legislature, and uncalled Tor by Ihe ac tual ootidiiiuii of affairs. As ynu may imagine, this substitute was voled down by the Vaniics, bul, according lo all parliamentary usage, it was to he placed upon the Journals, This seemed In startle curtain gentlemen, and Mr. Smith, of Lincoln, absolutely moved lhal ihey be nnl printed in the Juurnals, which motion by parly discipline was carried. Never before did I hear of su"li oppression on Ihe part of Hie majority. Tin Constitution requires lhal wn should pnlili-li I join lime to lime a journal of our proceedings, bul hern you see ihe majority arrogates In itself the power of publishing only such part as It pl asca. If this doctrine is carried nut, this provision of ihu Constitution is null and void, and ihe majority have the power In entirely hide from ihe view of the sovereign people all of their actual and real proceedings. I look upon it as an outrage lo Ihe People, Ihe ( 'oii-liiuiion, and llie Whig members of the House uf Representatives. TUB END OF GREATNESS. A friend has called our attention lo Ihe fact, lhal in llit nppointment of standing committees in the Senate of the United Slates, our distinguished I'eltieoal Senator, "llie Demosthenes of Ihe West," has been so far overlooked as to be named bul twice namely, at Ihe end of llie committees on Foreign Relations, and on Manufactures. Can the Locofocracy of Ohio forgive or forget such a matked slight of their great gun, the man immeasurably superior to Henry Clay, the Richiiiond Enquirer's " most distinguished statesman in ihu West"! We think not; and more especially ss lhal other distinguished Senator of theirs, of low wages and low prices notoriety, has hut the poor honor of being named once, and that, loo, at the end of the committee on which he is appointed lo wit, llie committee on Naval Affairs. How are the Mighly fallen ! Whig ifngnanimily.'i'he Virginia House of Delegates, which has been hig for several years, have retained the old Clerk, w ho hit been a most inveterate and uncompromising Locofoco. Many, however, have censured i belli for their lenity in re-electing liiin at Ihe present session, because he suffered a most landernus and abusive document to be circulated over his name for lereo mouth! previous to the election, without contradiction, which he disclaimed after Ihe eleciion, upon finding it urged in opposition to his reelection as Clerk. Forbearance is a noble virtue j but we rather fear, in view of such manifest deficiency of moral principle, it has in this place been misapplied. ELECTRICITY IN STEAM. We have had on file for several days an article in the Cincinnati Gazette, furnished hy Dr. Locke, detailing some experiments in elucidation of lbs phe nomenon of electricity in ileam. . Dr. Locke is one of our most scientific men, and has with great care and expense possessed himself of perhaps the mosi com- pletn philosophical apparatus to be met with in the United States, and is, therefore, well qualified for arriving at correct conclusions and demonstrations, in any nnd all departments of icience. It will he leen that his experiments confirm what the unassisted reason would, from analogy, adopt as probable. Medicm. Coixeoc or Ohio, Dec. 3, 1810. Mr. Editor, did not seo your notice uf the discovery of Electricity io steam, in which ynu honored me hy calling my special attention to the subject, until late this evening. I commenced immediately an examination of the points in question. Whether electricity is produced hy Ihe simple evaporation of pure water, has been for many years a point of research, and experimenters have disagreed as to the results. When a heated iron cup Is placed on the cap of a gold-leaf electrometer, and water is dropped into the cup and evaporated by the healed melal, electricity is slighllj .-Aim'ited. If a clean platinum cup be substituted for that of iron, elr ctricily scarcely appears. The difference is, lhal the hot iron is acted upon hy the water in such a manner as to cause oxy-dation of the metal; and the electricity has been referred not lo the evaporation, bul to lhal chymical action. M. Pouillil, of France, denies the production of electricity hy the evaporation uf water, but Mr. Harris, of Eogland, states that he has obtained very slight indications of electrical excitement by evaporating water from a clean platinum cup. But to my own experiments I filled a small experimental sieain boiler, (Dr. Marcel's) wilh distilled water to the usual height, leaving room for Ihe formation of sieam, and heated il with a spirit lamp, insulating the telvde upon n glott plule. So long as the steam cock remained open, although the water was boiling and jelling off steam, no electricity was indicated hy Ihe gold-leaf electrometer; but on closing the boiler and raising the steam lo a pressure of one atmosphere, that is, until the inercural gage of the apparatus stood at 30 inches, then opening the cock and holding the brass ball of the discharger in the jet of steam, and connecting it at the same lime wilh the electrometer, its leaves diverged with electricity, lo the full extent of the instrument. On connecting the electrometer with ihe boiler, instead of the steam, a still greater quantity of electricity waa indicated. My next experiment was to determine whether the same results would follow when the apparatus was not insulated. Giaspiug ihe leg of the boiler with one hand, and forming ihe connections between the boiler and the electrometer wilh the other, no evidence of electricity appeared eiiher from the steam or the boiler. Having proceeded thus far, il occurred to me that the electricity might have been produced by the friciion uf Ihe mercury upon the inside of the glass lube of the gage, a well known source of excitement, I immediately removed the gage and screwed a cork into its place, securing il by a wire lied over Ihe top of il. Relying on llio thermometer lo indicate Ihe pressure, I again raised the steam to one atmosphere, opened the cock, and msde Ihe connection with the electrometer i diverged at btfure. So far, then, the conclusion is, that when a jet of high steam issues from an insulated boiler, that boiler becuwes electrified: ,.d if an insulated piece of metal be held in the jet of steam near lo where it issues, and in the clear invisible part of the jel, it will also exhibit electricity. My opinion is, that the electricity is mil produced by evaporation or by ':oiideusation, but hy the friciion of Ihe neain upon Ihe metal. 1 shall presently try condensed air, in order lo determine whether a jut of il will produce the same effects. Indeed a great number of problems are al once suggested. We will work them nut as fast as possible, and send the results In your office. P. S. I believe Ihe electricity derived both from the aleam and from Ihe boiler to be of the same kind boll) positive. Respectfully, voura, JOHN LOCKE. COMMrNICATION. TO THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY. Your well-timed efforts to correct the abuse and extravagance in the public priming, deserve the thanks of the people you represent ; and they are well directed to Ihe present printer, fur he is ihe special author of the mischief. When the present law was in ils progress through the Assembly, he was a member of the Senate, and struggling lor every possible Increase of pay, and resisting every effort to control and prevent aliu-e. The charge of 35 cents per 1000 ems had been fixed on by Ihe Senate with reference lo Ihe advantage Ihe primer had in using the forma of executive reports thrice, wilh one composition, nnd the dnublo advantage of using the reports again In the journals. His party then sought to repeat il, by in serting a clause lhal all sheets, even ol bills, that were less than two pages, should be counted as two pages. In the House, it was extended lo four pages, and il was effected chiefly hy the aid of the Senator, and his intended partner, Mr. Brough! This is the greal source of abuse, and yon will find every device resorted lo, in order lo swell Ihe number of hills and reports; and, if consisting of only two lines, lliere has always been some ready instrument lo move a lying on the table. You should amend your rules requiring everything to be printed, as a matter of course ; and abolish the practice of suffering every member to introduce hills at pleasure for Stain roads, churches, fcc; lei them come through committees, and be reported together, so as lo be printed in sheets. Or, I may be permitted to suggest, you can offer the work to be done hy contract. And you will oblige Ihe people hy an inquiry why it has required three limes as much paper lor the printing under Mr. Meila-ry, that it did under Mr. Gardiner. A LOOKER ON. COURT IV BANK.

During the late political contest, our readers have looked for little else than what pertained directly to the progress and results of Ihe election in the several Stales. As the result is known, and the excitement passing away, we shall occasionally direct their attention to such mailers as are connected with iheir imme diate interests, and to those great improvements which in uirir ueariug ano operation produce greater or less rcsnllB throughout the Union. As a means of enlight ening and enlarging the minds of the great body of me people, perhaps a tree, easy and rapid mode of travelling is the best and surest; it certainly breaks up sectional feelings and prejudices. As a band of union 10 Ihe Stales, il surpasses all others, and, in the opinion of some very eminent militnry men, should have Ihe firsi place as a means of national defence. We make these preliminary remarks introductory lo a no-lice of the progress of the Ohio Rail Road Company in lha construction of Iheir road. As most of our renders know, Ihn charter of Ibis company extends from the Maumee river, along Ihe smith shoro f Lake Erie, to the wesl I tie of Pennsylvania. About two years since, this company, under very discouraging cireuinsiiinces, commenced opening Ihe line of iheir road, (which lay mostly through a dense forest.) and delivering limber. A year ago lust summer, they set up I wo aleam piling machines, and in the fall and early pari of the winter, ihey put in operaiion at this place and Manhattan, two steam loco-motive saw-mills. Wilh these four locomotive machines, ihey have nearly finished, ready for the iron, the entire road from this place to ihe Maumee river, a distance of thirty miles. They have also located, opened, delivered timber, and put two more pile machines in uperatioii, one at this place going east, and one at Huron coming west, and will, in a few days, have a locomotive saw-mill in operation behind each of llie new pile machines. And as soon as the work is closed wesl. the four machines there will come lo the aid of the four between this aod Huron. The company have sent out In England a hill for the iron, lo be delivered at the opening of navigation, for Ihe thirty miles west, and we'underatand that number order for ihe road east, thirty-two miles to Hur-n, is to be sent nut this winter. In conversation with the officers of the company, Ihey expressed great confidence in their ability In have the entire road from Huron to Maumee river in full operation by the end of ihn ensuing year. As this is more than one-third of the entire road, (which is 177 miles.) we may look forward lo its completion and connection, with llie like improvements eaBt, wesl and south. Of the progress of llie great rail road improvements referred to, we propose to say something in our future numbers; nnd perhaps we may in our next give a brief description of Ihe process adopted by the Ohio Rail Road Cum. pany in the construction of iheir road. L,wer San-dtuky Timet. Under the head of "State Righis and Reform," we are glad to see in the Savannah Repnhlican evidence of a determination, on the part of that journal, nt least, lo apply lo practical purposes the oi fill course of inslrucli n which Ihe country has gone through within the last twelve years. During thai period of lime, the Republican very justly remarks, "ihe various nnd gradual encroachments which have wormed themselves into and upon our institutions have been silent and unheralded, many of Ihem, as Ihe footsteps of time itself" These innovations lit" Editor de. Hares his intention to expose, as occasion may offer, and hold litem up successively lo the reprobation of the People. He can hardly do the people a greater service; and if he perseveres as he has begun, he can-nnl fail lo be instrumental ir, doing good. We avail ourselves so far of his labors as to copy, (adopting them in every sense,) llie two first of his expositions of public aboses as follows : A'aiVon Intelligencer. "First, then, we protest against the new bnglish mode nf hetrging the inception if our legislation from the White House. We denounce the plan of drawing bills by the Departments and sending them on to ihe various committees, and alt fiirtherconiiection between these coininiitees and the ministry than was maintained during Ihe administration nf Washington. 'I he whole system of making the committees of Congress hot mere appendages to the ministry is corrupting in-lidiotisly corrupting in ils tendency, and totally at war wilh the genius of our institutions. We know lhal these things have gradually and iuipercepiihly been growing upon us from the example of the British Parliament, hut Ihey are none the less dangerous on that account." "Growing out of this same gradual changing of our system, is Me interfrence if the Central durernmcn' with the action if the State Lcgitlaturn. No 'ooner is 11 ascertained Hint an Administration is about In lose the majority in ihe Senate, than the w hole machinery nf patronage and power is set In work lo correct the evil, Instead of this manifest disapprobation of public opinion working a change in our rulers, our rulera straightway set about changing public opinion, or rather giving a false expression to il. If Ihey fail in the nnniial election nf IT, S. Senators, viz : in returning friends of the Administration for (host lhal mutually go out, the next proceeding is toascertain a State where Ihe majority is doubtful, and uiaiucuvre uniil one of the old Senators is instructed out uf his seal. This whole system strikes al Ihe very foundation uf Slate rights. Stale sovereignty, and State independence, and is moreover totally at war with Ihe whole spirit and genius of our insiiiutinns. Il was never intended that Ihe (ieneral Government should exercise any sort of control over tiie Stale Legislatures, or Iheir representatives the United States Senniurs. Ir was intended lhal the Administration should he the obedient servants of the People, and not the People or llie State! the obedient servants nf Ihe Admin sira-tiou. This whole syslem grew up during Ihn last twelve years, and it niiisl he cut down during the next four, root and branch. Not a vestige of this monstrous heresy mual remain, or Slate rights is a uie'e name wiihonl a meaning. "The late cry of British gold came peculiarly well from an Administration that has engrailed more of Ihn spirit of their iosiiiniious upon curs than ever Georgn the Third was enabled In do, hacked by a standing army and Governors nominated hv himself. Wn shall ring the changes upon Ibis subject. Wn intend to preach the docirioes nf Stale righis in earnest, mid denounce all interference wilh them, lei il come even from the White House, or whatever snurce it may." " llittnry of A'dti llnmpnhire," She adopted the Constitution, and supported wi'h unanimity li e Administrations of Ihe two first Presidents, Washington and Adams. She continued her adherence to the Washington and Adams party, until the second eleciion nf Mr. Jefferson, when she came into the support of his administration. She supported Mr. Madiaun'a administration, for bis eight years, with the exception of 1813, '14 and '15. She supported Mr. Monroe's administration for his eight years, and Mr. J. Q.

The Senate met pursuant to adjournment, A message was received from the House of Rep-resenlatives, informing Ihe Senate of the passaoe ol a joint resolution for printing 2000 copies of llio Gov-ernor's Inaugural Address in the English language, and 2000 in ihe German language, with a provision that the copies in German should be printe I under Ihe supervision of the Speakers of Ihe House and the Semite, Mr. Spangler moved to strike out the provision which relaled lo the supervision of the Speakers of llio House and Senate, and place the same under the supervision of the State Primer. On this motion, Ihe Senate wenl into a wide range nf debate, involving no inconsiderable fueling, much argument, and during which various references were made in former practices and precedents in defence o, the different views of members. Mr. Spangler finally withdrew his motion to amend.

M. The Senate again met. The Senate, on motion of Mr. Hough, resolved itself ioio a committee uf Ihe whole on Ihe orders of Ihe day, Mr. Holmes in the chair. The bill lo incorporate the First Presbyterian Church of Lima, in ill- county of Allen, was read and considered. The committee rose, and reported the same hark without amendment, and Ihe bill was engrossed furs third reading nn to-morrow. The Senate again went into committee of the whole on the bill lo amend llie act to organize Ihe county of Summit, passed in the year 1810, Mr. Ulter in the chair. The committee rose, and reported the bill back without amendment. Mr. Sill moved to recommit the hill to the committee on the Judiciary; which wns agreed to. The Senate resolved itself into a coimniilee nf llie whole on Ihe b'll to ltluorioii,tn the Metlina Mulli4l Insurance Company, Mr. Thomas in Ihe chair. Mr. Haseliii e moved to amend the bill so as to reserve lo Ihe Legislature Ihe right lo repeal the bill al any lime it mig it judge expedient, hy striking mil the w ords "limiting the duration of Ihe company lo 20 years." Mr. Carpenter opposed l'ie motion lo amend. Mr. Haseliiiie said that the passage of such hills did not comport with his ideas nf democracy, and gave his views on the subject. Mr. Carpenter replied thai the Legislature had at any lime the right to repeal. Ho said the hill was simply a contract among individuals. Ho thought it very proper there should be s limitation. The question was, shall the people of Medina county enter into a coiupa"t In secure each oilier fnun loss hv fire, instead of being compelled In apply to New. York, Ko. Mr. 1 1 n-i'l 1 1 1 m again addressed the Senate, and said be was. and should ever he opposed in the jinorpr.i-lion of such companies f ir a definite period. Under such corpora ions, Ihey could extend iheir operations in any pari of Ihe Slate, and commence the issue uf shin-plasiers, by the assiio,p:ioii r.f hanking pouers, Mr. Carpenter replied to the arguments of ihe Num. lor. The Supreme Court bad the power, and would no d uht apply a remdy in case of any such an assumption, lie saw no grounds for the apprehension ru-leriained by the genii, man wbu had proposed the auieiidiitf til. Mr. Iluiiipbr 'ys addressed s It- chair, end sit I lh it be upprovxl uf the niiieniliueiit, . denied the an. thoriiy claimed for the Supreme Court, and deprecated aiiy colli-ion with thai co-ordinate branch of this government. Mr. Speaker moved lo modify the mniion so at lo read, lint the Legilamre had ihe power lo repeal or amend at any time il might think proper; which was agreed lo. Mr. Spangler moved lo strike out certain words in the 1st section, after Ihe 18ih line, granting ceriain pun ere, tin. Agr. ed lo. Mr. Ilissel would call the attention or the commit, lee to ihe 12th line, 8ih s. ciion, and mnved to strike out certain words between lhal and ihe lUlli lin", which word related to Ihe recovery of a ceriain amount of interest. Mr. Bissel observed that there were loo many penalties in the bill, which ought n it to he tolerated. On this amendment a debate was coiitimied for Some time by Messrs. Nash, Bissel, Carpenter and Vance; the latter gentleman ohjeciing to the hill on account ol Ihe exir 'Ordinary powers il invested in the company, and Mr. Nash defending and explaining ils prnvisi .nt. Mr. Leonard also gave his views in opposition lo the hill, and in reply io Mr. Nah, and was f How-ed hy Mr. Carpenter, wilh a proposition to modify the objectionable powers grained in ihe bill, and in further explanation uf Ihn same. After which, the amendment was agreed lo. Several other amendments were offered by Mr. Taylor, and finally disposed of; pending which, Mr. Crowell wenl into an explanation of the nature and character of llie institution the hill proposed to incorporate, and which, be said, differed very widely from institutions which bore a similar title. On inoiioii, tin coiumitiee rose, reported progress, and asked leave lo sit again. A message was received, announcing lhal the House had disagreed to the several amendments of Ihe Sen-ale in the joint resolution for priming Ihe Inaugural Address nt the Governor; which was laid oil tbu table.On motion, the Senate adjourned.

COLUMBUS: HATt'RUAV, DBCEMBEIl 1, 1S40. CONGRESS. Neither House of Congress salon Friday or Saturday.On Monday, in Ihe Senate, Mr. Clay submitted a resolution declaring that llio act known as the Sub-Treasury act ought to be forthwith repealed, and in-instructing the committee on Finance to report a bill accordingly. Mr. Clay also submitted a resolution, which was ordered to be printed, calling on the Secre-tary of the Treasury to communicate to the Senate certain information on the subject of public lands their amount as reported from the several Land Offices under a resolution of April 25,1828, their quality, average value, and the amount since sold, discriminating between the amounts reported and sold in the districts respectively, etc. Mr. Rubles, of Maine, sub-milted a resolution callint! upon the President to com-municate to the Senate, if nut incompatible with the public interest, any correspondence, not heretofore communicated, between this Government and that of Great Britain, relative to the Northeastern Boundary! and also, any correspondence had with the Governor of Maine on the same subject. In Ihe House, Ihe Speaker announced the standing committees for the session, upon which Ihe National Intelligencer makes ihe following remarks, which we copy as conferring a high and merited compliment to one of our distinguished and worthy members: The committees appear to have been lillle varied in their composition from the organization of the last year, unless as made necessary by the decease or resignation of Members. At the bend of the committee on Public Lands, we observe, to succeed Mr. Corwin. resigned, is plac ed that experienced and faithful Representative fr Ohio, Jebemiah Mounow, who, for many years previous to the last twenty year presided over that committee, first in the House of Representatives, and afterwards iniliH Senate. In b lh llmse bodies, the confidence in bis integiity, and his perf el lamtliartiy Willi Ihe subject, gave to his opinions a decisive Influence on all questions concerning Public Lands, the legislation upon which, during the Administration of Presidents J.ffrson, Madison, and Monroe, was in a material degree Ihe fruit of his counsels and unwea-ned devoiion lo his duties. There seems to be a peculiar fitness in his being restored to his old post BANK OF NEW BRUNSWICK. An article in the Statesman of Thursday, in relation to the Farmers and Meehanis's Bank of New Bruns-wirk. renders il proper that we should give the other side) fur the partisan leal of Ihe Statesman so far out-alrips discretion and a regard for public interest, when gloating upon a bank bill discredited from some source, that it never occurs lo him that he may pnssi-bly excite unreasonable alarm and subject hundreds to unnecessary loss. It may be, however, his parly having so largely increased the number of Banks within the lasl ten or twelve years, that it is now a part of their system, while operating to excite the people against ihe Banks, to play into the hand of the Brokers to the injury of Ihe people. Thus, while a few may reap some profit, (and perhaps the editor or some of his particular friends.) many may be injured, and by their losses be made to join ihe hard currency party. We have seen some questions asked the Statesman about (he " Millington Bank," which he refera lo, as to Ihe amount of " Millington" bills in ihe hands of certain contractors on the public works. If we remember aright, il was said that some $5000 of it was left in the hands of one of llicm, the bubble bursling before he had shifted il off upon Ihe workmen. Lei it be remembered, also, that ibis "trash" obtained credit and circulation in many parts upon the editorial endorsement and recommendation of Ihe Globe and Baltimore Republican. But to our purpose: premising, thai of ourselves we know nothing about the Bank of Now Brunswick: Doubts have been thrown out in this city respect-ing Ihe soundness of the Farmers' and Mechanics' Bank of New llrunswicli, since me unexplained disappearance of Ihe President, Mr. Suydam. We say it wilh pleasure and confidence, that no fears need bo entertained. The pecuniary interest! of the bank are not at all involved in that painful mystery. A notice to that effect, we perceive, has been published by Ihe Directors. Ihil. Am. Sentinel. The sudden and unaccountable disappearance of Mr. Suydam, who has not yet been heard of, has tended very much to depress the hills of ihe Farmers' and Mechanics' Bank al New Brunswick, N. J., of which Mr. S. was President. We are assured, on reliable authority, that the Bank is in good condition, and thai there is no cause for holders or other! having claims against the institution to be alsimed. The lamented Mr. Soydum had a large depnaile in ihe bank at the lime of his disappearance, and his private aC. fairs do not seem to be embarrassed. The Hank, we understand, will soon publish a statement of ils condition. The general impression respeciing Mr. Suydam i, thai under sudden excitement he lost control of himself and committed suicide. .V. '. Timet d Star. Virginia- The Richmond W hig esiimaies, from partial census returns, that there are ahnul 50.000 while adults in lhal State who cannot read ! This is astonishing, and truly lamentable.

Il may in Some measure explain the reason why Virginia occupies her present ingloriout position, to stale tbu vole for President ill Ilia county "f R'tfkinghain, which waa the following, officially: For Gen.

Six Van Buren Senators and twenty-four Representatives have resigned since the adjournment of the Legislature, Their places, it is supported will be fulled hy Whigs, who will then have a majority in the Legislature, and be enabled to elect a U.

U.) whose term expires oil ihe lib of March next. lJ7 The Federalists in the Virginia Senate hivede' termini d thai Virginia i-liall not he represented in l lie United Stales Senate. What will the freemen of thai Stale think of partisan! who will not allow a seal in the Senate of the United Stales lo be filled after be ing vacsul for two years! But so il is. The Senate is lied, 10 to 1C and all the Van Buren members, in eluding two who are not rightfully enliiled lo seats, have united in opposition to a resolution fur the elec lion of I U, S. Senator. "DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES." Acting upon ibis principle, the Federalists in the Missouri Legislature, in the spirit of lyranny and unfairness which has marked the whole course of their parly, have determined not to permit a full record of their proceedings in their Journal! They were determined lo put upon record a set of resolutions embodying Ihe Federal slang of "British gold," "the people bought up, and ruled, hy the Foreign Money-power," "General Harrison elected by Foreign Bankers and British gold," and all such fine compliments to the independent and intelligent freemen who dared to exercise their inalienable right of voting for the man of their choice, and against the Spoilers who had arrested every whel in that vast and complicated system of enterprise and industry which was rapidly advancing us to Ihe greatest, most prosperous, and most happy nation upon earth : but they well knew that their resolutions would be worse than useless to their purpote, if they admitted into the same record such incontrovertible and overwhelming testimony against them, and in vindicaiion of the immense majority of American freemen whom it was their impotent desire lo itigmulize. Hence, as they had the power, they determined that Truth, which would not down at bidding, should not rise up, like (lie ghoBt of Banquo, to paralyze the honest mind which might be searching the procioui records of the Missouri Legislature of 1810 for some evidence that the People in that year were such fools and corrupt knaves as lo bo "bought up" against their interest. But "Trtilli crushed lo enrtti. will rlie again ; The eternal yean ol (iail are Iter's : Wlilla error, wounded, wrllliei In pain, And dies amid lior worshippers." Why men cannot see that such attempts always recoil with twofold force upon themselves, has ever been a mystery to us, and admits but the solution of the ancient maxim, that corrupt and unprincipled men, or those whom God and Nature devote to destruction, are first made mail. Correspondence at tlie 81. I.onli Hullclln. Crrv or Jefferson, Dee. 5, 1810. We have had a very exciting time in the House today, and a most extraordinary course has been taken by the Van Buren party. At an early hour Ihe famous resolutions of the Speaker, (Mr. Price,) were laken up, anil the question being on their adoption, Mr. ('nailer, of St. Charles, moved to strike out all after I ln word "Resolved," in the first resolution, and insert in lieu thereof, the following; llrfderd. That the recent election for President of (lie United Stales, which has just terminated in the eleciion of General William Henry Harrison, of Ohio, was not made in London, as has been stated on this Door, but waa the free and voluntary act of the American people, uncontrolled by any foreign influence. Ilrtolved, Thai any statement or insinuation, that ihe American people can be controlled or directed, in the manner of bestowing their votes fur any office within Iheir gift, by any oilier than the most honorable motives, is highly derogatory to their diameter as freemen, and deserves Ihe reprehension of every honorable mind. Hmdrcd, Thai this is peculiarly the rase, as il applies to the highest Executive officer in ibis nation; and lhal nny statement or iiisinualion, lhal Ihe people have been influenced in said eleciion hy the gold of England, is lo attribure lo ihem the most sordid motives is highly insulting lo Ihem, as freemen, and mint spring from a mind which is lost to all sense of respect fur the will of the people. liemilved. Thai all such Mntemenla or insinuations are derogatory to the character of republican governments, nnd disclose the opinion, in those who utter ihem, lhal the people are incapable of self-government. and deserve the reprehension of this House, and of every friend of republican government. rVfoAW, That we continue lo oppose the policy of offering ihe bonds of Ihe Stale for sale in Ihe European market ; we disclaim any authority to recal from that market such bonds of Ihe Stale as have been delivered In the hank in payment of slock, subscribed by the Stale without Ihe consent of Ihe hank, but earnestly recommend that the bank withdraw from said market all Ihe honni of the Statu remaining unsold.tVioiW, That Ihe letters of Frederick Hulh & Co., of London, dated February 29th, June 3d, and September llth, 1810, disclose some evidence that the mal-adminislraiion of Ihe Federal Government, and Ihe uncalled for attempts of a part of Ihe members of the United Stales Senate, lo destroy the credit and standing of the Slates, have rendered ihe bonds of of Ibis and other Stales unsaleable at almost any price, when bul a few yean since they were in demand al par. Iletolreil, That while we ask no legislation on Ihe pan of Congress to increase the value of the bonds of the Stales, we deprecate any course by thai body or any of its members, which has a tendency to depreciate the value of American securities, or iujuro the credit of any of the Stales, at home or abroad. Ueuileed, Chat there is no evidence before this General Assembly that il is in the contemplation of Congress, to pass a law by which the General Government will assume or guarantee the payment of Slate debts, and the adoption of any resolutions anticipating an oc currence not likely to happen, is derogatory lo the iliu miy or mis Legislature, and uncalled Tor by Ihe ac tual ootidiiiuii of affairs. As ynu may imagine, this substitute was voled down by the Vaniics, bul, according lo all parliamentary usage, it was to he placed upon the Journals, This seemed In startle curtain gentlemen, and Mr. Smith, of Lincoln, absolutely moved lhal ihey be nnl printed in the Juurnals, which motion by parly discipline was carried. Never before did I hear of su"li oppression on Ihe part of Hie majority. Tin Constitution requires lhal wn should pnlili-li I join lime to lime a journal of our proceedings, bul hern you see ihe majority arrogates In itself the power of publishing only such part as It pl asca. If this doctrine is carried nut, this provision of ihu Constitution is null and void, and ihe majority have the power In entirely hide from ihe view of the sovereign people all of their actual and real proceedings. I look upon it as an outrage lo Ihe People, Ihe ( 'oii-liiuiion, and llie Whig members of the House uf Representatives. TUB END OF GREATNESS. A friend has called our attention lo Ihe fact, lhal in llit nppointment of standing committees in the Senate of the United Slates, our distinguished I'eltieoal Senator, "llie Demosthenes of Ihe West," has been so far overlooked as to be named bul twice namely, at Ihe end of llie committees on Foreign Relations, and on Manufactures. Can the Locofocracy of Ohio forgive or forget such a matked slight of their great gun, the man immeasurably superior to Henry Clay, the Richiiiond Enquirer's " most distinguished statesman in ihu West"! We think not; and more especially ss lhal other distinguished Senator of theirs, of low wages and low prices notoriety, has hut the poor honor of being named once, and that, loo, at the end of the committee on which he is appointed lo wit, llie committee on Naval Affairs. How are the Mighly fallen ! Whig ifngnanimily.'i'he Virginia House of Delegates, which has been hig for several years, have retained the old Clerk, w ho hit been a most inveterate and uncompromising Locofoco. Many, however, have censured i belli for their lenity in re-electing liiin at Ihe present session, because he suffered a most landernus and abusive document to be circulated over his name for lereo mouth! previous to the election, without contradiction, which he disclaimed after Ihe eleciion, upon finding it urged in opposition to his reelection as Clerk. Forbearance is a noble virtue j but we rather fear, in view of such manifest deficiency of moral principle, it has in this place been misapplied. ELECTRICITY IN STEAM. We have had on file for several days an article in the Cincinnati Gazette, furnished hy Dr. Locke, detailing some experiments in elucidation of lbs phe nomenon of electricity in ileam. . Dr. Locke is one of our most scientific men, and has with great care and expense possessed himself of perhaps the mosi com- pletn philosophical apparatus to be met with in the United States, and is, therefore, well qualified for arriving at correct conclusions and demonstrations, in any nnd all departments of icience. It will he leen that his experiments confirm what the unassisted reason would, from analogy, adopt as probable. Medicm. Coixeoc or Ohio, Dec. 3, 1810. Mr. Editor, did not seo your notice uf the discovery of Electricity io steam, in which ynu honored me hy calling my special attention to the subject, until late this evening. I commenced immediately an examination of the points in question. Whether electricity is produced hy Ihe simple evaporation of pure water, has been for many years a point of research, and experimenters have disagreed as to the results. When a heated iron cup Is placed on the cap of a gold-leaf electrometer, and water is dropped into the cup and evaporated by the healed melal, electricity is slighllj .-Aim'ited. If a clean platinum cup be substituted for that of iron, elr ctricily scarcely appears. The difference is, lhal the hot iron is acted upon hy the water in such a manner as to cause oxy-dation of the metal; and the electricity has been referred not lo the evaporation, bul to lhal chymical action. M. Pouillil, of France, denies the production of electricity hy the evaporation uf water, but Mr. Harris, of Eogland, states that he has obtained very slight indications of electrical excitement by evaporating water from a clean platinum cup. But to my own experiments I filled a small experimental sieain boiler, (Dr. Marcel's) wilh distilled water to the usual height, leaving room for Ihe formation of sieam, and heated il with a spirit lamp, insulating the telvde upon n glott plule. So long as the steam cock remained open, although the water was boiling and jelling off steam, no electricity was indicated hy Ihe gold-leaf electrometer; but on closing the boiler and raising the steam lo a pressure of one atmosphere, that is, until the inercural gage of the apparatus stood at 30 inches, then opening the cock and holding the brass ball of the discharger in the jet of steam, and connecting it at the same lime wilh the electrometer, its leaves diverged with electricity, lo the full extent of the instrument. On connecting the electrometer with ihe boiler, instead of the steam, a still greater quantity of electricity waa indicated. My next experiment was to determine whether the same results would follow when the apparatus was not insulated. Giaspiug ihe leg of the boiler with one hand, and forming ihe connections between the boiler and the electrometer wilh the other, no evidence of electricity appeared eiiher from the steam or the boiler. Having proceeded thus far, il occurred to me that the electricity might have been produced by the friciion uf Ihe mercury upon the inside of the glass lube of the gage, a well known source of excitement, I immediately removed the gage and screwed a cork into its place, securing il by a wire lied over Ihe top of il. Relying on llio thermometer lo indicate Ihe pressure, I again raised the steam to one atmosphere, opened the cock, and msde Ihe connection with the electrometer i diverged at btfure. So far, then, the conclusion is, that when a jet of high steam issues from an insulated boiler, that boiler becuwes electrified: ,.d if an insulated piece of metal be held in the jet of steam near lo where it issues, and in the clear invisible part of the jel, it will also exhibit electricity. My opinion is, that the electricity is mil produced by evaporation or by ':oiideusation, but hy the friciion of Ihe neain upon Ihe metal. 1 shall presently try condensed air, in order lo determine whether a jut of il will produce the same effects. Indeed a great number of problems are al once suggested. We will work them nut as fast as possible, and send the results In your office. P. S. I believe Ihe electricity derived both from the aleam and from Ihe boiler to be of the same kind boll) positive. Respectfully, voura, JOHN LOCKE. COMMrNICATION. TO THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY. Your well-timed efforts to correct the abuse and extravagance in the public priming, deserve the thanks of the people you represent ; and they are well directed to Ihe present printer, fur he is ihe special author of the mischief. When the present law was in ils progress through the Assembly, he was a member of the Senate, and struggling lor every possible Increase of pay, and resisting every effort to control and prevent aliu-e. The charge of 35 cents per 1000 ems had been fixed on by Ihe Senate with reference lo Ihe advantage Ihe primer had in using the forma of executive reports thrice, wilh one composition, nnd the dnublo advantage of using the reports again In the journals. His party then sought to repeat il, by in serting a clause lhal all sheets, even ol bills, that were less than two pages, should be counted as two pages. In the House, it was extended lo four pages, and il was effected chiefly hy the aid of the Senator, and his intended partner, Mr. Brough! This is the greal source of abuse, and yon will find every device resorted lo, in order lo swell Ihe number of hills and reports; and, if consisting of only two lines, lliere has always been some ready instrument lo move a lying on the table. You should amend your rules requiring everything to be printed, as a matter of course ; and abolish the practice of suffering every member to introduce hills at pleasure for Stain roads, churches, fcc; lei them come through committees, and be reported together, so as lo be printed in sheets. Or, I may be permitted to suggest, you can offer the work to be done hy contract. And you will oblige Ihe people hy an inquiry why it has required three limes as much paper lor the printing under Mr. Meila-ry, that it did under Mr. Gardiner. A LOOKER ON. COURT IV BANK.

During the late political contest, our readers have looked for little else than what pertained directly to the progress and results of Ihe election in the several Stales. As the result is known, and the excitement passing away, we shall occasionally direct their attention to such mailers as are connected with iheir imme diate interests, and to those great improvements which in uirir ueariug ano operation produce greater or less rcsnllB throughout the Union. As a means of enlight ening and enlarging the minds of the great body of me people, perhaps a tree, easy and rapid mode of travelling is the best and surest; it certainly breaks up sectional feelings and prejudices. As a band of union 10 Ihe Stales, il surpasses all others, and, in the opinion of some very eminent militnry men, should have Ihe firsi place as a means of national defence. We make these preliminary remarks introductory lo a no-lice of the progress of the Ohio Rail Road Company in lha construction of Iheir road. As most of our renders know, Ihn charter of Ibis company extends from the Maumee river, along Ihe smith shoro f Lake Erie, to the wesl I tie of Pennsylvania. About two years since, this company, under very discouraging cireuinsiiinces, commenced opening Ihe line of iheir road, (which lay mostly through a dense forest.) and delivering limber. A year ago lust summer, they set up I wo aleam piling machines, and in the fall and early pari of the winter, ihey put in operaiion at this place and Manhattan, two steam loco-motive saw-mills. Wilh these four locomotive machines, ihey have nearly finished, ready for the iron, the entire road from this place to ihe Maumee river, a distance of thirty miles. They have also located, opened, delivered timber, and put two more pile machines in uperatioii, one at this place going east, and one at Huron coming west, and will, in a few days, have a locomotive saw-mill in operation behind each of llie new pile machines. And as soon as the work is closed wesl. the four machines there will come lo the aid of the four between this aod Huron. The company have sent out In England a hill for the iron, lo be delivered at the opening of navigation, for Ihe thirty miles west, and we'underatand that number order for ihe road east, thirty-two miles to Hur-n, is to be sent nut this winter. In conversation with the officers of the company, Ihey expressed great confidence in their ability In have the entire road from Huron to Maumee river in full operation by the end of ihn ensuing year. As this is more than one-third of the entire road, (which is 177 miles.) we may look forward lo its completion and connection, with llie like improvements eaBt, wesl and south. Of the progress of llie great rail road improvements referred to, we propose to say something in our future numbers; nnd perhaps we may in our next give a brief description of Ihe process adopted by the Ohio Rail Road Cum. pany in the construction of iheir road. L,wer San-dtuky Timet. Under the head of "State Righis and Reform," we are glad to see in the Savannah Repnhlican evidence of a determination, on the part of that journal, nt least, lo apply lo practical purposes the oi fill course of inslrucli n which Ihe country has gone through within the last twelve years. During thai period of lime, the Republican very justly remarks, "ihe various nnd gradual encroachments which have wormed themselves into and upon our institutions have been silent and unheralded, many of Ihem, as Ihe footsteps of time itself" These innovations lit" Editor de. Hares his intention to expose, as occasion may offer, and hold litem up successively lo the reprobation of the People. He can hardly do the people a greater service; and if he perseveres as he has begun, he can-nnl fail lo be instrumental ir, doing good. We avail ourselves so far of his labors as to copy, (adopting them in every sense,) llie two first of his expositions of public aboses as follows : A'aiVon Intelligencer. "First, then, we protest against the new bnglish mode nf hetrging the inception if our legislation from the White House. We denounce the plan of drawing bills by the Departments and sending them on to ihe various committees, and alt fiirtherconiiection between these coininiitees and the ministry than was maintained during Ihe administration nf Washington. 'I he whole system of making the committees of Congress hot mere appendages to the ministry is corrupting in-lidiotisly corrupting in ils tendency, and totally at war wilh the genius of our institutions. We know lhal these things have gradually and iuipercepiihly been growing upon us from the example of the British Parliament, hut Ihey are none the less dangerous on that account." "Growing out of this same gradual changing of our system, is Me interfrence if the Central durernmcn' with the action if the State Lcgitlaturn. No 'ooner is 11 ascertained Hint an Administration is about In lose the majority in ihe Senate, than the w hole machinery nf patronage and power is set In work lo correct the evil, Instead of this manifest disapprobation of public opinion working a change in our rulers, our rulera straightway set about changing public opinion, or rather giving a false expression to il. If Ihey fail in the nnniial election nf IT, S. Senators, viz : in returning friends of the Administration for (host lhal mutually go out, the next proceeding is toascertain a State where Ihe majority is doubtful, and uiaiucuvre uniil one of the old Senators is instructed out uf his seal. This whole system strikes al Ihe very foundation uf Slate rights. Stale sovereignty, and State independence, and is moreover totally at war with Ihe whole spirit and genius of our insiiiutinns. Il was never intended that Ihe (ieneral Government should exercise any sort of control over tiie Stale Legislatures, or Iheir representatives the United States Senniurs. Ir was intended lhal the Administration should he the obedient servants of the People, and not the People or llie State! the obedient servants nf Ihe Admin sira-tiou. This whole syslem grew up during Ihn last twelve years, and it niiisl he cut down during the next four, root and branch. Not a vestige of this monstrous heresy mual remain, or Slate rights is a uie'e name wiihonl a meaning. "The late cry of British gold came peculiarly well from an Administration that has engrailed more of Ihn spirit of their iosiiiniious upon curs than ever Georgn the Third was enabled In do, hacked by a standing army and Governors nominated hv himself. Wn shall ring the changes upon Ibis subject. Wn intend to preach the docirioes nf Stale righis in earnest, mid denounce all interference wilh them, lei il come even from the White House, or whatever snurce it may." " llittnry of A'dti llnmpnhire," She adopted the Constitution, and supported wi'h unanimity li e Administrations of Ihe two first Presidents, Washington and Adams. She continued her adherence to the Washington and Adams party, until the second eleciion nf Mr. Jefferson, when she came into the support of his administration. She supported Mr. Madiaun'a administration, for bis eight years, with the exception of 1813, '14 and '15. She supported Mr. Monroe's administration for his eight years, and Mr. J. Q. Adams' for his four years. When it had been asceriained ihnl Gen. Jackson was elected, she wenl over the same month he was inaugurated, by 3000 majority (ihnugli Mr. Adams had her vole hy 3000 majority in November previous) nnd she has been uniformly the most loyal Slate, supporting (ten. Jackson, and Ihe gentleman who promised in "walk in his fomsiepi," ever since. The eleciion nf Gen.

On this motion, Ihe Senate wenl into a wide range nf debate, involving no inconsiderable fueling, much argument, and during which various references were made in former practices and precedents in defence o, the different views of members.

Mr. Carpenter opposed l'ie motion lo amend. Mr. Haseliiiie said that the passage of such hills did not comport with his ideas nf democracy, and gave his views on the subject. Mr. Carpenter replied thai the Legislature had at any lime the right to repeal. Ho said the hill was simply a contract among individuals. Ho thought it very proper there should be s limitation. The question was, shall the people of Medina county enter into a coiupa"t In secure each oilier fnun loss hv fire, instead of being compelled In apply to New. York, Ko. Mr. 1 1 n-i'l 1 1 1 m again addressed the Senate, and said be was. and should ever he opposed in the jinorpr.i-lion of such companies f ir a definite period. Under such corpora ions, Ihey could extend iheir operations in any pari of Ihe Slate, and commence the issue uf shin-plasiers, by the assiio,p:ioii r.f hanking pouers, Mr. Carpenter replied to the arguments of ihe Num. lor. The Supreme Court bad the power, and would no d uht apply a remdy in case of any such an assumption, lie saw no grounds for the apprehension ru-leriained by the genii, man wbu had proposed the auieiidiitf til.
