It is probable tliat a warm discussion will take place, whenever this resolution shall again be called up, as there appears to be a strong feeling a tnongst the Soulhern members on the suljject. Mr. \VicklifIe, of Kentucky, olfcred a resolution expressive of the opinion of the House, that, in rejecting the resolu tion as to the expediency of the mission of Panama, as amerifled by Mr. M’Lane, it did not surrender the principle of tliat amendment; but, on the motion of Mr. •M’Dufiie, he withdrew the resolution be fore any discussion or decision could the Senate for having done so and re sumed his seat.

It is stated in the Congressional Proceed ings of last week, that wheiithe resolution submitted by Mr. Branch, (d‘this State, concerning Kxecutive power, came up for discussion, in the Senate, Mr. Ran dolph spoke from one to seven o’clock, just six hours! Xow, tliis prolixity is unpardonable, even in Mr. Randolph. Were it excusable in any member, it •.vi;uld be s ) iu him, for whatever eman- aies from John Hamb'jj-'i is eagerly reail by every body, and not to know that he de livered such a speech on such an occa sion, would be to “ argue oiic’s self un known.” In the case alluded to, upon the supposition that he spoke as much in every fifteen minuies as would fill a col umn of the National Intelligencer, his entire speech when reported, will fill twenty-four columns of that mammoth print—just as many columns as the j>aper contains. The t xtent to which these Congression al harangues arc carried now-a-days, is not only an evil which calls'for a r(Miedy, but it is an evidence of decay (jf the true principles of Oratory, in our |)ublir, coun cils. Speaking to the pnrpo.-ie, and to.the jjurposr only, is now, almost entirely, out of the notion of elo(|uence. Members, instead of informing themselves on the merits of a question, are pleased with premeditated wiltici.sms, convinced by subtle fallacies, and sull'er themselves to be led away by the I'orce of invectives, rather tlian the wei;j,hl of argument. It would not be easy to (luote an instance of a long speech having ever pioduced any thing beyond a moiuentary elVect, where as to u few striking and laconic senten ces, easy to be remeiul)ered and repeated, it is known that we may ascribe some of the most impnrtnnt events in the history cl nat’.ons. Perhaps the I'rench Revolu tion, for instance, was accelerated by the farewell speech of an American (ieneral, made to a rrencli party, in.mediately !)e- lore their return to I'.urope ;—“i'leiich- lueii, we thank ycju for your galiant as- si>tanc(—you have served a sevt n years’ appi entiresliip to liic cause of I/i!)erty— (ju huiiie and ml iijt for yoi/r.sclncs Jielrii^h lUgiolvr. - _-byligl lluid descending, caused the instantatte- ous death of no less than four individuals; thus in a moment bereaving Mr. l)oal ol an afl'ectionate wife, and 'wo lovely chil dren, one about 5, and the other about 3 vears of age; and a widowed mother (Mrs. Perrine>fa daughter, in the bloom of life, I’our others were in the room at the time, three of -Mr. J^jal’s children, and a daughter of Mrs. M’Carron, w ho providentially escaped with but slight in- jury. The scene that presented it sell a short time after the fatal event, defies descrij)- tion: Four lifeless bodies i:i ditlereni parts of the house—the consternation and sorrow depicted on every countenance— the bustle caused by indelatig^dde exer tions of the physicians and other citizens, to effect a resuscitation—together wilii^ the bursts of grief from those bereft ol tl'.eir greatest i-artlily treasure, their ra- latives atid friends, produced indescriba ble sensations ; we leave to the imagina tions of C)uv readers to picture to them selves a scene at once so awful and dis tressing.
