J nave -nuotilieil : r the various measures that have been acted upon by Congress since I have been jour Represent alive, but the heavy pressure of business lor the last two or three weeks of the session, in connection with a serious indisposition, prevented ray doing so. I must now content mvselt" with a bare allusion to such as aftect more directly your ititerest. The which lor t lie last have divided public try, are now in a old political iues, quarter of a century opinion in our coun reat decree at rest. Our national currency is. sound and abun dant : hence commercial confidence per vades our wide spread Republic, and national and individual nrosneritv r rrr full measure with us. i'he Democratic Tariff of 1846 has more than realized in its operation the highest anticipations of its friends ; and notwith standing our national expenses have been exorbitant, it has yielded us more revenue than was sufficient to meet these expenses, leaving us a surplus of some millions each year with which to pay oft" our national debt. Statesmen ot note and character who heretofore have belonged to the high tariff" party, now avow themselves advo cates of equal and low taxes. 1 he tan 11 of 1846 has not been materially changed since its enactment, nor, in my opinion, will any such change take place for several years to come, unless the article of iron should continue to increase in value, in which event justice to the great agricul tural interest will demand its modification. This tax is now. felt as oppressive on the various schemes of internal improvements in our country, and in order to abate it to some extent, there were several attempts made to postpone the payment of duties on railroad iron, and authorizing its ulti mate discharge by the performance of wail service; allot these attempts, excepting in two cases, were abortive ; one was the Wilmington and WcMoti Railroad, the other was the Wilmington and Manches ter road. As our Stale will have to pay upwards of 200,000 in duties on iron for the Central Railroad, the whole delegation made a strong effort to take ott' this duty entirely, but we could not succeed. During the first session of the present Congress a bill was introduced and passed the House of Representatives, but was finally lost in the Senate, distributing to the several States of the Union certain allotments of the public lands. It was generally known as Bennett's bill. Sev eral reasons compelled me to vote against it. Thedistribution proposed was unequal and unjust. One instance will show tbi. The State of Arkansas, having but one Representative on the floor of Congre-s, was allowed three millions of acres of laud in addition to every 16th section for educational purposes, as also 500,000 acres previously allowed for internal im piovements. Our State, with nine Repre sentatives, was allowed only oiie mill in i six hundred thousand acres. 1 could see nothing but the grossest injustice in this arrangement. The bill also restricted the different States in the use of the money arising from the sale of their respective w.irrants, appropriating it exclusively to the cause of education This was a covert attempt on the part of Congress to dictate to the States legislation of a particular character ; such dictation I could not ap prove of. No one values more highly than 1 do the advantages of general education, believing that its promotion should be Ihe dearest object of solicitude in the bosom of every legislator, but Jet it be confided (a the wisdom of its proper guardians, the State Legislatures. Congress has no con stitutional power to legislate on the sub ject. Independent of these serious objec- I lions to some of its provisions, 1 considered the principle of the bill as entirely wrong. Whether our vast public domain was ac quired by donation or purchase, it is the common property of the States, to be used for their joint benefit, and Congress has no more right b give away the. public lands than to give away the public money. One is as much property as the other. 15ut who would not consider a proposition that Conzress should collect, by taxes on the people, money lor distribution among the States, as monstrous ? What would such a policy end in ? The great. security that you now have ag nnst the wasteful extrava gance ol your, tale legisiaiors, consisting in their direct and immediate responsibili ty, tp.the tax-paying community, what be comes of this responsibilit y if the (General Government acts as the tax collector, and the State Legislatures do the squandering? It crease to . exist. The' principle of dis tribution "is at war with the theory of our political, organization, which js. that our r i '-.,........ nf is a f?rn ftrlerac v nf feuerai v" .-' j free and independent States How long would they continue to preserve this char acter, if, instead of relying on their own means for support, they derived it from the coffers of the General Government? .Would they not soon, very soon, degenerate into mere Provincial Dependencies, holding eery right and Jiberty by the sufferance of their moneyed matter Soch a fate i '""''r?' ues we krep separate and tiisHn lite 'money operations- of the twtr GdrvrnmenU.

I have much hope that the present Democratic Adminislra' lion will discourage, if not entirely crush their various schemes of plunder ami spolia tion, n4tht, during its existence. Ilio pubic properly will be strictly applied to the support of our common Government, thereby diminishing tlx? a-mou-nt of taxa tion now imposed on the people. But if I should be disappointed either in the will or capacity ol the present Administration to arrest this absorption ol the public lands by the new States, awl their deposi tion in this way should become the settled policy ol" the Government, as I could not advocate a measure so-full of objections an the distiibutiou policy, I wouKl return to ysur hands-the trust confided to me. In conclusion I will remark that since I have had the honor of being your Repre sentative, my chief ambition has been to sustain and strengthen the principles of the Democratic party, firmly believing that on their predominance depends the safety of our Republic. Those principles arc now in the ascendency, and the country, at the expiration of four years, will have ample opportunity to determine whether I am right or wrong in my appreciation of their worth. I look forward to the crisi with a proud reliance that the judgment of the American people will be overwhelm ingly in favor of Democracy. But while, as a politician, I thus acted, yet it has been a- ffsed role with me to attend to the private business of alt my constituents irrespective of.: party ; and if t have not given satisfaction to all, my heart has not been toMarrre, but censure should rather fall on my lack of ability to do better. If it should be the pleasure of a majority of the voters of the district that I should again represent them, I will come to the work wiih a heart swelling with gratitude at this renewed manifesta tion of their confidence, and in return will promise them, that, as far as my capacity extends, they shall have no eause of com plaint against me : and i sincerely beg that my friends may feel assured, whether it may be their pleasure to re-elect me or not, I will always cherish the most grate ful recollections of their former kindness. With the best wishes for your prosperity and welfare, I am, fellow citizens, your obedient servant, VV. S. ASHE. Washington, March 14, 1853. VVilmingiom kits. As a great deal i- said about an appropriation by Congress ol $-5 0.000 for the Wilmington ifars,' we beg it to be distinctly understood, that that fund was not intended as a relief fund for members of the Wilmington Bar, who ride the circuit of the courts. They are able to take care of themselves. It was intended to open a cause in a 'court be low,' in which the Cape Fear Hank' at the mouth of the river, is a party litigant, and which has an injunction tiled against the entry of vessels of a certain 'draught.' It is to remove this injunction that the fifty t'mu-iand dollars are needed as a 'con tingent fee.' Apropos the Wilmington Bar its legal fraternity stand deservedly high and can count among its members some that would bean ornament and an honor to the judi cial bench. The Journal thinks we ought to have a Cape Fear Senator we have the material for one beyond a doubt and we should be pleased to see her represented in the Senate. On the score of sectional pride however we can be satisfied with having our gallant Dobbin in the Cabinet until we call him to the Senate; but for reasons which are manifest and weighty there ought to be a judge resident in V il mington anil her own corps can furnish me every way worthy the ermine.

That portion d the Broad Mountain, called the Fiery Mountain," from the fact of the Anthracite coal at that point being on fire which has been burning for the past fifteen years, is situated about five miles from MinersviMe, and fifteen from Schuylkill Haven, Pa. It is now considered a very dangerous experiment to travel over the mountain, as it is supposed that in many places the surface is a mere superficial crust, or shell, the coal having been con sumed op to the surface, and hence the least pressure thereon, it is presumed, might break through and let the adventur er down into, the fiery chasm below. At the base of. the mountain , in one place, a stream of water almost boiling hot comes out. The . surface of . the mountain pre sents a desolate appearance, as far as the eye can reach.; "1 ' . ; c
