The bill to establish a territorial government for Wisconsin, is un der discussion. The Washington correspondent of the Petersburg Constellation. C7 gives the following description of a scene in me nouse, wmcn sai until half past four o'clock on Sun day morning, 27th ult. discussing the contested election from this State: The North Carolina election controversy was understood to have been set apart for final deci sion on Saturday. The whole of that day was consumed in discus sion, and various motions having been made to nut off the case, in legal pnrlance, at nine o'clock at nicht, iMr. Uravcs ol Kentucky. commenced speakinc: in favor of the sitting member and against time; in other words, as there were many members who held conscientious scruples as to sitting on the Sabbath, by speaking until that approached, much might be gained to delay decision. Mr. Calhoun of Ky. followed suit until 12 o'clock, and a question was then raised, "whether the House could compel its members to vote on the aabbalh day?" It is im possible to describe the confusion and uproar which prevailed after wards; motion alter motion being made, ineffectually, to adjourn. Mr. Adams, on a quorum not having appeared, and. a call of the House being ordered, refused to answer to his name. Mr. Hawes moved that he should be excused. Mr. Adams said, "he did not want to be excused;" but wished a decision upon the question whe ther or no a mejnber could be compelled to vote on Sunday? The Speaker said, it was not unu sual to continue the sittings on that day. Mr. Adams insisted that whenever the House had sat on Sunday, it was under pressing cases of emergency, ad after a vote to that effect by both Hou ses. The same objection was again made by Mr. Adams, on another question; and Mr. Beards- ley moved to excuse him on the ground that he had conscientious tuples, &c. Mr. Adams repeat- ' . ... . ' f d that he did not want to be ex cused, but wished the House to de cide whether any of its rules ought to be obeyed on Sunday. Mr. Wise persisted in the neces sity of a decision on this question; and, going into an intemperate strain, he asked if the majority, who had been so tyrannical in their proceedings, were lo have the minority driven at the orders of the party, for party purposes to decide this question at midnight, on the Sabbath? Was God's law to give way to man's law, &c? He stigmatised the majority as the most bungling and disgraceful par ty that ever existed, with much more of this. Mr. Bynura of N. C. roe to order, .and told Mr. Wise plainly that, as one of the majority, he would not sit there to be so stigmatised. The Spea ker said, the member from Virgi nia must desist from his course. Mr, Bynum, much excited, re marked that he would not, in that House or out of it, submit to h bullied. He was ready to meet the gentleman. Mr. Wise retor- ted that tho rranllam.n f. XT l farol,na was mistaken; he was the last man that would dpir in hnt ly him. He would as soon think of bullying a fly. Mr, Bynum, resenting this insulting language, exclaimed, that, if the gentleman from Virginia wished to insult him, he had better take another opportunity than in that House; and finally, in the passion of J the moment, he shook his fist, and rushed towards him, exclaiming that he was a d d scoundrel Here the Speaker ordered the Sergeant at-Arms to do his duty Many members, however, Inter-; posed to prevent any collision be tween these members; and finally, after a scene of disorder and ex citenrtent seldom witnessed in any assembly, and owing to the friend ly offices of Mr. Mercer and oth ers, an understanding took place, and mutual explanations and apo logies were made to the House and to each other. After which, the consideration of the petition was postponed until this day; and the House, after sitting until near five o'clock on Sunday, adjourned. Michigan and Arkansas. It gives us pleasure to announce that the bills to admit Michigan and Arkansas into the Union have pas sed the Senate. There was a hard struggle on the part of the opposition to prevent admission of Michigan. This was a stroke at both Territories. If the applica tion of Michigan had been defeat ed, having nearly double the pop ulation of Arkansas, it would have followed inevitably that both ap plications would have been reject ed. VVhen a northern and a south ern Territory seek admission into the Union, it is necessary to pre serve the equilibrium between the slaveholding and non-slavehold ing States, that they should come in together. If M ichigan had been rejected, the vote of the twelve northern States would have certainly rejected Arkansas until justice could have been obtained for Michigan, and the opposition, in succeeding against Michigan, would have accomplished their object against Arkansas. Even after the Michigan bill had passed, Mr. Clay held out against Arkan sas with some few of his northern friends. The repugnance of the opposi tion to the admission of these new Slates, arises from a knowledge that it weakens their strength in the next Presidential election, and their dwindling phalanx in the Senate. Jt is a general principle, too, with the aristocracy, to with hold from the people their rights. Under the compact of cession, the north-western States are entitled to admission whenever their pop ulation amounts to sixty thousand. That of Michigan nearly doubles the requisite number. To keep it out of the Union under such cir cumstances, is consonant to the I principles of a party which has ; uniformly made war upon the rights of the mass of people. Globe, Qthxnst. Expunging Resolutions. Co. Benton's Resolutions for expung ing from the journals of the Sen ate Mr. Clay's foul and false charge against the President, will be found in preceding columns of to-day's Standard. -Col. B's masterly speech on this subject, has appeared in the Globe; and shall be transferred to our col umns, so soon as we can possibly dispose of other speeches &t other matter, which we had previously given a pledge to publish. I It seems that Col. Benton has found a precedent, in the proceed j ings of the Senate itself, to justify j and sustain his expunging resolu- lions. The following is the entry on the journal of the senate: "Monday, 5 o'clock P. M. A- prilSI, 1806. On motion thatevery thing in the journal relative to the memo rials of S. G. Ogden and Wra. S. Smith, be EXPUNGED there from." It passed in the affirmative, yeas 13, nays 8." ... It was, in fact, most radically done not a trace of it was to be found in the revised printed copy of Ihe Journal. This came upon the opposition Senators like an electric shockl they were astounded! being to tally ignorant of the existence of such a precedent, and consequent ly wh.oll3' unprepared for the an nunciation. A few federal Sena tors only voted against this reso lution. And will it be said by the whigs, that the Senate of 1806 violated the constitution in ex punging, an obnoxious entry on their journal? Or will Mr. Tyler say the Senators perjured .them selves in voting for that resolution? Dare he thus dishonor the memo- rles of as pnre, as patriotic, and as intelligent men as our country ever knew? If not, can the A- merican people trust to his judg ment, or confide in his sincerity! Ral. Standard, Pennsylvania. It seems that the legislature of this stale has re buked Gov. Ritner for his veto on the bill for increasing the capital of the Girard Bank; for they have passed the bill by ihe requisite constitutional majority of two .thirds, in despite of the veto; the vote in the House being 81 to 26, and in the Senate 26 to C. to.

Melancholy. A few mornings ago, on our way to our Office, we passed by the lifeless body of a colored Man, who had expired on the spot the night before. It seems that this man, sometime the preceediii evening, had attempt ed to rob a hen-coop, by putting his hand through a breach in the enclosure of the premises, which he had made for the purpose. The owner of the property, also a colored man, on the inside of the inclosure, discovering the tress pass, seized the hand of the thief, with a view of detaining him until assistance could be obtained for his capture. Finding his strength insufficient for his purpose, howe ver, with a knife which he held in his hand he made an incision in the wrist of the offender before he let go his hold, that he might af terwards identify his person. By th is incision, however, he acciden tally severed one of the arteries of the arm, and the unfortunate man, after making his escape, and run ning, a few squares, weakened as is supposed by the loss of blood, laid himself upon the ground and eventually. fell into a sleep from which he never waked. There he lay, stiff and 'cold and covered with blood; and there lay also the. oDjecis ana evidences ot his theft p-two fowls also dead and stained with the blood of their purloiner. How affecting,, how awful- the thought, that a human being should go, under such circum stances, into the presence of his judge. And yet this is a hazard which every one must incur, who permits himself to commit a delib erate crime. Biblical Recorder. Petersburg- MarJcet,March 3 1 . Cotton. 17 a 18 cents.

Int. (I7"The books of the Raleigh and Gaston Rail Road Company were closd on the 1st ol April. In Petersburg there were $84,700 taken during last opening of the books. Add to this the former subscription in Petersburg when the books were first opened, aud it will be seen that the enterprise and public spirit of our citizens have contributed to this scheme of Internal Improvement, not less than $330,000. Pet. Int. Texas. A gentleman from Matagorda, Texas, by land, by way of Opelousas, reports that an express had been received -from Col. Fannin, dated 2d inst. sta ting that Gen. Cos had left a force sufficient to blockade Col. Travis, in the Alamo of Bexar, and had advanced with the residue of his army, (near 4000 men) towards Austiu's colony. ib. 05The following paragraph, from the Mobile Commercial Ue- gister of March 19th, gives a larmingnote of the approach of an evil predicted by us some time ago as a consequence of the hos tilities waged by persons from the United States against ihe Mexican authority in Texas, but the danger of which, we hoped, had passed away: JYat. Int. "Accounts from New Orleans represent the money market in that city as somewhat embarrass ed. From the collision between Mexico ana lexas, cue usual re ceipts of specie from Mexico have diminished, the- present season, several millions of dollars; and tbe demand for specie in New Orleans has occasioned a reduction in bank facilities, and brought down exchange.on New York to 2 jl-2 per cent, discount for, best sixty day bills. Constant and heavy drafts made on the banks for spe cie have rendered it necessary for them to take this course, and, in the exercise of a prudent discre tion, to place themselves in a con dition to meet any emergency. The effect of it is to be seen -in a check of business operations gen erally, and we learn from un doubted authority that no sales in cotton of any consequence have been effected there for the last three days." (EPThe Ten Million Bank which was getting up by ihe Bos ton folks, has been rejected in the lower house of- the Massa chuse'ltes legislature, by a majori ty of one vote. jfordrjn. Latest from Europe.
