In the Senate, on the 20th ult. the bill granting the assent of Congress to the act of Virginia and Maryland, incorpo rating the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company, and the bill au thorizing the subscription of a million of dollars to the stock of the same company, being under consideration; Mr. MACON said he had but few observations to make before he gave his vote on this bill. He li.nrl sniil snmp timo nrrn that ho aiV wui. j v,r -. v w j Via V j Q - - - considered all hope of paying off protection of domestic mauufac tne public debt gone. lie should this place, even after it gets V communication with the west waters, will be able to rival Ba!? more, Philadelphia & New-York! He never did believe that artifai communications could keep th Union together; it must be J love cannot be bought: nothin' that you can do by law willa? tach different portions of the Uni on together; those who get notjj ing, are sure to be discontented Fellow feeling only could cement the Union together, and nothing else. He would say no more. J would take a farewell of the a ject. He was sorry that thn who had generally voted with hira had abandoned the discussion' All he could do was to protest a gainst the measure. The bill passed by a vote of 29 to 17. In the Hoitse of Rcprcuntatkt on the 26th ult. Mr. Living laid on the table a resolution to abolish punishment by death in the United States; giving notice of his intention to call for the con sideration of it, early in the next session. Mr. Long laid oh the table a resolution, proposing to amend the Constitution of the U. States, so as to make duelling unlawful. xMr. Davis, of S. C. laid on the table resolutions proposing to give the consent of Congress, fin pursuance of a supposed provision ot the Constitution,) to any State that may ask, of exercising the power ot laying a tarift for the tures within the limits of such State. Tel cgraph . Uierefore, talk no more on that subject, for he feared that by a majority, a public debt was consi dered a public blessing. When gentlemen talked about estimates, he was surprised they did not look at estimates which had so long been before us. He would ask if any estimates which had been be fore us, had ever come up to the actual cost of the work. Every prudent man washes to know, when he enters into a co-partnership, what is the credit and cha racter of those who are to be his partners. He would, before he went into this partnership, wish to know whether the Corporation of the District were able to pav the money which they had sub scribed! Could the people of the District bear more taxes! He had often observed that those most in debt, were most eager to sub scribe to such projects. If the stock was as good as they say it is, why are Virginia and Pennsyl vania pressed upon to subscrihn? The whole depends on the aid of the United fctntes. I think the gentleman is mistaken as to the value of the stock of the New York canal. The only object seems to be to keep up a perpetu al public debt. He did not be lieve that any profit would arise to any one from this work. New York has a communication with the western waters. Philadelphia is about to have one. Baltimore too, will soon have one through her rail road. All these places have population, trade, and capi tal. This District has but little capital, and has not tl in fin mo commercial far.ilitii wliw.li t ,o mid fV l ork has. When all these are fi-lpresses in the most approp1 4ouv.li, uUU mug win it be, before I terms, his "deep sense oi v Congress adjourned on Monday morning, about 8 o'clock. We give the closing scenes during the two last davs ot its session. I he resolution of thanks to the Speak er of the House of Representa tives, called forth a long and ani mated contest of two or three hours. The Administration par ty made every exertion to give it the go-by but all their move ments failed, notwithstanding ma ny of the Southern members harbour, Rives, McDuffie and others) had left the city. When the question was taken, the Ad ministration gentlemen were lclt in the meagre minority of 28 many of their colleagues backing out from the vote. This trium phant vote is an honorable com pliment to Mr. Stevenson as Spea ker: for the first time in the Chair of the House after a protracted session of six months ami a ses sion more impassioned, more em barrassing, more trying to 1 he par liamentary abilities of the Speak er, than has ever been experien ced since the memorable days ot the Alien and Sedition La"' The comnlimnnt is thft more w in consequence of the outrageous attacks which have been madeup on the Speaker by the Admin tration Dresses and, indeed, was the unparalleled injustice o such nttnrk whirh called frrtn this just tribute to the dignity,1 partiality, promptitude and abilK' with which he has discharged tn duties of the Chair.
