Scenes in debate of the most thrilling interest occur
almost every day at Washington. And indeed it aeema
Ihnt aearlf th wboia teWwa of Congress will ba coo.
umed in tba dicuion of (uhject of the deepest' inte
rest to the country. The question of the Abolition of
Slavery in the District of Columbia, in all it bearings,
haa been, and is yet, eliciting a debate of unsur aseed
ability arxf warmth, especially on the part of Southern
member. We foci proud in being able to say, that on
this vital question the Delegation from North Carolina
to a man, have noble defended the rights of their con
stituents, and southern right, while the representative
of the boasted "Old Dominion," and some other Hooth
ern Hub, chose to do tho bidding of Albany sMasfer
and betray the Houtlt. Would that our entire delega
tion might act thu iiwlepenJenlly on every question in
involving the right of the people.
For an account of a most extraordinary debate which
recently occurred in tlie House of Representatives, ws
refer our readers to a Letter in another column from
the Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Patri
ot. 1 he d flute siirunir up from a few remarks bv Mr.
Camhri'leng of New York, in rclatioo to the loss of the
Portitteation Bill on the rseinorable hut night of the 14
sesnion of Congress, and the Resolution of Mr. Adm
on the aame mbjrct. The charges maJs by Mr. Wis
of Virginia, against thoxe of the party in high places.
through whose instrumentality tlie bill was lost, are of
a eerious nature. Th disclosure in support of them
are astounding! The independent and manly tone of
th" orator ia worthy of the day of Patrick Henry and
John Randolph. The failure of the Fortification Bill
lies at the door of the Van Bjren party in the House :
because the Senate would not agree to put the enor
mous sum of 1,(100,(100 at the disposal of th Presi
dent, to embroil in in a war with Franca at aa earlier
day than ha haa been able to do ao without it, the
rwr'V in the House refused to act A Committee of
Conference of the two Houses were appointed; Mr.
Cainberleng, a Chairman of the Committee of the
I loose, refused to Report the result of the Conference
of the two Committers, because the hour of 12 o'clock
bad eapired, sad the House waa dissolved by the Con
stitution. But, after thia he and hi follower went in
to the I louse and voted oil other question several time.
The baseness of the act is worthy of the party. From
this debate it will be seen that Mr. John Quiary Ad
ams ha the unenviable distinction of being th Uadtr
ui the party in the House.
There has been no Report, as yet, from the Commit
ter, cither of the House or the Senate, to which ws
referred the Special Message of the President. It may
be lonk'H for anon.

discoverodthe Sugar-House had been broken open, and
