"I cannot but add another very grave objec- February 20. In the Senate, Mr Wade of tion to this bill. The Constitution imperatively fered a resolution to amend the .Constitution so declares, in connection with taxation, that each as to render the President ineligible to election State shall have at least one representative, and j for a second term. lie advocated the amend fixes the rule for the number to" which, in future j went in a strong speech, alluding (in very caus ' times, each State shall be eutklcd."

I he original act was neces . sarily passed in the absence of the States chiefly to be' affected, because their -people were. eon Lu maciously engaged in the" rebellion. 'ow, the . case is changed, and some, at Jeast, of .Jhose States are attending Congress bv loyal lienresen- Natives, soliciting the allowance of the constitu- j rtioual rifrht of representation. At the time, how- i .in ever, of the consideration and the passing of this ' bill, there was no Senator or Kepresentativein . .disposition of the people of that portion of the .country, is an additional - reason why they need cind should have representatives." cf their own in KJongress to explain their condition, reply to ac- cusations and assist, by their local knowledge, in the perfecting of nieasurcs.iinincdiately affecting themselves. While the Hberty of .deliberation would then lxs free, and Congress would have full power to decide according to its judgment, there could be no objection urged th,t the States most ' interested had not been permitted to be heard. The principle is firmly fixed in the minds of the American people, that there should be no taxation witlwitt representation. Great burdens - have now to"be borne by all the people of the wuii, nc ucuj.umiu.li, i"fy nan do u'Mie tmuioui iuiiiinur wnen iney are. -oted by a majority of the representatives of the pcop'e. I would not interfere with the unques tionable tight of Congress to judge, each House for itself, "of the elections, returns, and qualifica tions of its own member?." Rut that authority cannot be construed as including the right to shut out, in time of peace, any State from the re presentation to which it is entitled by the Cons-ti-'tulion. At present, all the people of eleven States are excluded those who were most faith ful during the war not less than the others. The 1 'resident of the United States stands lo wards the country in a somen hat different atti tude from that of any member of Congress. Each ! member of Congress is chosen from a single di trict or State; the President is chosen lv the peo-) pie oi an ine oiaies-. vs eleven states are not at this time represented in either branch of Con gress, it would seem to be his duty on aU proper occasions to present their just claims to Congress. There always will be differences of opinion in the community, and individuals may be guilty cf transgressions of the law; but these do not con stitute valid objections against the right of a State i to representation. I would in no wise interfere ! axvith the discretion of Congress with regard to j the qualifications of members, but I hold it my duty to "recommend to you, in the interests of peace and in the interests of the Union, the ad mission of every State to its share in public legis lation, when, however insubordinate, insurgent, , ir rpHflliiiiw it Tnrl,i mnr lii K..i it i itself not only in n nttiin.V nflnl.r 1.1 I...,. mony, but in the persons of representatives, whose loyalty cannot be questioned under any existing . Constitutional or legal test. It is plain that an indefinite or permanent ex clusion of any part of the country from represen tation roust le attended by a spirit of -disquiet and complaint: It is unwise aud dangerous to pursue a course of measures which will unite a r - ........ ... . v . . . . . nii-. iiiii ,very largo section of the country against another ' large section oi tue country, however much the Jatter may preponderate. The course of emigra tion, the developements of industry and business, ; and natural causes, will raise up at the South men as devoted to the Union as those of any oth er part of the land. But if they are all excluded .. from Congress if, in a permanent statute, they . are declared to be not in full constitutional rela tions to the country, they may thiuk they have cause to become a unit in feeling and sentimeut againsf the Government. .Under the political education of the American people, the ide.1 is in herent and ineradicable that the consent of the , -majority of the whole people is necessary to se jctire a willing acquiesence in legislation. Thebill cndei consideratron refers to .certain of the'Statea as though they had not "'been fully restored iri all their Constitutional relations to the United States." 'Jf they have not, let us at once act together to secure that desirable end at .the earliest possible moment. It is hardly neces sary fat me to inform Congress that in my own judgment, most of those States so far at least .as depends upon their own action, have already been fully restored, aud are to be deemed as en t titled to enjoy their constitutional rights as mem bers of the Union. Reasoning from the Consti- , t,ution itself And from the actual situation of the country, I feel not only entitled, but bound to as- pume that with the Federal Courts restored, and '. those of the several States in the full exercise of their Congress from the lev en States which are to be States had conformed to tne requirements oi : tne total gilt a quarter ot a million sterling in ni nly Affected by its provisions.

He de- manded the previous question Mr Rogers, amid calls of ohder, declared gag rule. ilr cjtcvens objected to ilr Gfider making the repoit. He said he could not con sent, for there was an earthquake around us, and he trembled and dare not yield ! There was much excitement -and calls to order during the proceedings. Mr Stevens having moved I the previous question on the resolution, Messrs. Eldridge, Johnson, Chandler and others sought to stave off a vote by moving to adjourn, etc. The questions were decided in the negative, by yeas and nays. Mr Eldridge said he and " his friends would stop these dilatory motions if Mr Stevens would withdraw the demand for the previous question, so that the resolution might bj debated. Mr Stevens said he sat hero for forty-eight hours in 1SG1, when the Rebels went out, and he could stand it for thirty hours longer. The resolution Was adopted, yeas 109, nays 40. February 21.

The motion was agreed to. The concurrent resolution was then read the first time, after which the constitutional amend ment was taken up. Geokgia.

He was soon taken before the Sub-Corumittee, where his examination proceed ed at considerable length, though it did not elicit any prominent statement beyond what might have teen anticipated from the wellknown position ofthe witness. He was quite reticent, and did not volunteer any remark beyond the proper answers to the questions put to him. He said that so far as he had opportunities for learning, the people of Virginia had accepted the result of the war in good Faith, and were anxioUs for a restored amity in the Union. When pressed by a question, he is said to have intimated that the feeling for the Union was much stronger just after the close of the war than now: for there appeared to him to be some impatience among the people, that men who had noc been identified with the war in the South should be prevented from representing the State in Congress.

A bill to enable the Banks of the State to close their business, was put on its second reading- . - ' 1 Mr Smith of Hertford opposed fhe bill, be cause though ostensibly permissive only, it vir tually forced the banks to a settlement of their affairs. Its passage would be regarded bythese institutions as an. expression of opinion bv the General Assembly, that they should at once en- ter upon a liquidation of their debts to the ex tents of their assets. Mr Thompson was suprised that the bill should have elicited any opposition. It merely proposed to give the banks a privilege which under their charters they did not now possess. Its exercise was optional not imperative, and the bill expressly provided that the assignments made should enure equally to the benefit of cred itors. Mr McAden moved to amend the bill by striking out in the 1st section thc words "for the equal benefit of all the creditors," and insert in lieu thereof the words "according to the laws of this State relative to assignments." Mr McAden stated that the object of this amendment was to allow the Banks to prefer home creditors to those abroad, who had pur chased their notes at heavy discount. Mr Hoke opposed the amendment.

The German pa pers announce tbe death, at Magdeburg, of a learned physician, Dr. Julius Von dem Fisch wciler, who in his will has left the world the following scientific secret, viz: That his own great age, one hundred and nine, is entirely to be ascribed to his constant habit- of sleeping with his head towards the North, and the rest of his body in a direction coinciding as closely as possible with that of the meridian, that is, with his heels to the South. From persisting in this habit, the learned doctor considered that the iron contained in out system, finding itself in the direction of the magnetic currents which are constantly flowing over the surface of the globe toward the North Pole, becomes magnc tized and thus increases the energy of the vital principle.
