When Philip Henry, the father of the celebrated Commentator, sought the hand of the only daughter and heiress of Mrs Mathews in marriage, an objection was made by her father, who admitted that he was a gentleman, a scholar and an ex cellent preacher ; but he -was a stranger, and they did not even know where he came from.' True," said the daughter, who had well weighed the excellent quali ties and graces of the stranger, but I know uhcre he is gotn, and I should like to go with him and they walked life's pilgri mage together. How honored would that reluctant father have been, could he have foreseen that his daughter would be the mother of Mathew Henry! And how different would be the world's estimate of men, if they were judged less by their origin, and more by their destiny! There is one pride of fami ly highly commendable there is another pride of family ineffably comtemptible! 30THCON6EESS. IN THE SENATE on the 13th inst., a long discussion took place upon the case of Gen. Shields. The committee that was appointed to examine into his eligibility reported that they had examined the evi dence laid before them by Gen. Shields, by w hich it appeared that he was an alien by birth, and that he was admitted a citi zen of the United States by the Circuit Court ofEflingham countv, Illinois, on 21st October, 1840. Of course, then, ac cording to the Constitution, he was not eligible to a seat in the Senate, that in strument requiring a person to have been a citizen of the United States 9 veais to ml give eligibility. The committee closed their report with a resolution declaring the election of James Shields to be void, he not having been a citizen 9 years. When the report was read. Gen. Shields rose and made a short speech, in which he appeared deeply to feel the awkwardness of his situation, lie said he had deter mined to remain entirely passive, and sub mit with cheerful alacrity to whatever J might be the decision of the Senate. The committee had acted upon the evidence before them, and could have come to no other conclusion. He could explain the record and evidence were it competent for him to do so, but he would let it pass. He then acknowledged the rashness he had been guilty of ; the error he had commit ted in writing such a letter to Mr Breese. It had given him great pain. He disavow ed most emphatically, before God and the Senate, that he meant no menace or assas sination. On the contrary, he said, he could call Mr Breese himself to witness. was against common precedent as well as common sense. No action was taken by the Senate on the 1 3th, and On the 14th, the debate was continued with considerable spirit and feeling. The democrats peifectly understood what the whigs were at, and the whigs worked many ways to carry their point. A resolution was offered as a substitttte for the resolution reported by the commit- tec; which substitute merely says, Resolved, That James Shields is in eligible to a seat in the Senate,'' &c. This substitute seemed to please many of the Senators better than the one report ed by the committee. It was plain, ami there could be no objections to it. Mr Foote had previously proposed to postpone the whole subject to the 1st Dec, 184L but withdrew that proposition at the re quest of Gen. Shields. Before the question was taken upon the substitute, Gen Shields hamlet! tr his re signation, thinking to put an end to the matter in that wav; it was argued that since lie had oftered hia resignation, cour- liiiii as . i tesv, anti a respect lor nun as a man. should prompt the Senate to accept it, and there let the matter rest. But Mr Web ster thought himself a little too keen for that: so he argued that Gen. Shields had not been entitled to a seat had no seat in the Senate and therefore could not resign what he never possessed! Most learneil Judge! A second Daniel. Gen. S. had been sworn in and taken his seat, and spoken in open Senate, and yet the grave Daniel argued that he had no seat. Dotaire could hardly appear more ridiculous! During the tlebate, there was, as usual, a good deal of that nonsense which is en acted in both Houses, known as 4 " Splitting a liair between south anil routhwest Hide." Hair splitting'' is a favorite amusement in Congress; it is so pleasant a way of kill ing time, and 88 a day is not considered too much compensation for such hard nui k- No action was taken on the 14th two. days spent in splitting hairs. On the 1 ih. it was moved that the Sen-, ate accept the resignation of Gen. Shields. Upon this motion another long debate oc curred; at the end of which that motion, was laid upon the table; yeas 33. nays 14. It was then moved that the original resolu tion, declaring the election void, be laid, upon the table; yeas 16. nays 32. Several other motions, resolutions, and amend ments were offered antl lost, but at length Mr Calhoun's resolution was passed, de-. daring the election void, inasmuch as lie was not eligible at the time from which his six years term was to commence, namely 4th March, 1849. Of course where there was so much dif- that so far from entertaining such feelings ference of opinion in the Senate, it would. O 4. I I I A " A 1 mi.... lllllh.

A long debate then occurred, the point of which was just this: if the Senate should i adopt the resolution declaring the election void, then Illinois must be unrepresented in the Senate (except by one Senator) for the next two years, until the Legislature shall meet; whereas, if a different course were adopted, so as to make the place 'a vacancy," then the Governor of Illinois could appoint some one to fill the vacancy. Thus, parties contended over this point for hours: The whigs declaring that the election was null and void, because in ex press violation of the Constitution; the upon this decision; but the cases of Mr Clay, Gen. Jackson, and Mr Lewis, go far, as precedents, to establish this as an, unrighteous decision. SUPREME COURT.

Mr Douglass upset that argument by showing that Mr Clay had been elected to the Senate when he was only 29 years of age, but being SO before he took his seat, nothing was said about the validity of the election. Gen Jackson was elected to the Senate before he was SO, but was eligible before the time arrived for him to take his seat. The same case with Mr Dixon H. Lewis in the House of Representatives.
