THE DEBATES IN CONGRESS.
The morbid rage for debate that prevails in Con
gress, to the protraction and even neglect of the in
tsrests of the Country deserves the serious repro
bation of the people. Mr. Jefferson, complaining
of this sa in evil, once remarked that he had served
with Gen. Washington, in the Legislature of Vir
ginia, and in Congress with Dr. Franklin, and that
he had never heard either of them speak more than
ten minutes at a time, nor to any but the maijf point
in question. Indeed, no one can examine the re
cords of our early history, without remarking the
strength, solidity and brevity, which characterized
the public documents and speeches of that day?
Then, a subject, however grave, was disposed of after
a debate of two or three days, instead of being pro
tracted for "weeks, to the annoyance of Congress, the
reporters and printers, and to the detriment of the
public ! Then, a speaker never. rasfr,but, when be

FOR THE REGISTER;
Mr. Gales The following letter, nrftten in a
familiar bagatelle style, I received from a young gen
tleman who was travelling through this State some
months past. He was kind enough, at intervals, to
write me letters descriptive of his journey. The
village from which the enclosed was written, is quite
small and uninteresting, and affords but scanty
materials for letter writing. The writer never
dreamt of its ever being published, nor does he now
know that it has been placed in the hands of an Ed

The Central Hail Road.
The Editor of the "Norfolk Herald" closes a
lengthy article upon the Internal Improvement poli
cy of Virginia, by the following allusion to the re
ciprocal advantages that will enure to that sea-port
and to North Carolina, from the construction of the
Central Road. '
".But as we have said before, our more certain as
surance of success is from the good Old North State.
We regard her Great Central Railroad as our main
stay, and its Virginia competitor for the rich "spoils"
of Mother Earth, as but a second string to our bw.
Nature seems to have formed the 6ite which Norfolk
occupies for a North Carolina town; indeed, Nor
folk draws her chief sustenance from North Caroli
na, and is more interested in her measures of inter
nal improvement than in those of Virginia. Pity it
is, that what nature designed, should have been over
ruled by the will of men! But as ''annexation" is
becoming the order of the day, it yet may be that
North Carolina will embrace the tributaries of our
Elizabeth and its beautiful city in her territorial
arms, as " bone of her bone, and flesh of her flesh."

UT The Washington Correspondent of the

Mr. Lahm replied, and after his hour had ex
pired, Mr, Wilmot rose and made a most inter
esting explanation, drawn forth, I suppose, by
Mr. Stephens' charge of Mr. Polk's cheating his
own section of country. It appeared from Mr.
Wilmot 8 statement that Mr. Polk has been Irom
the first, in favor of the Wilmot proviso. This
he declared in the most solemn manner, and re
peated the substance, of a conversation between
them, wheri fhe proviso was first offered as an
amendment to the three million bill. Telling
the truth is a good thing in David Wilmot or any
one else, though it came out very tardily in this
case. It appears to have been smothered be
tween him and Mr. Woodwald, of South Caroli
na, till now, when the election being over, it can
do their candidate no harm The disclosure of
this family secret excited no little ii verest, and

Truth is Strange, &c The last Hannibal
Journal, published in Missouri, under the caption
of " awful retribution," has a fearful story, to the
effect that a Mr. Weatherford, Sheriff of Schuyl
er county, in that State, and ex-ifficio collector of
the county revenue, conceiving a design to cheat
the commonwealth out of some $2200, which he
had collected, left the money in the care of his
wife, part in silver and part in paper, with the de
claration that he would be gone several days, and
enjoining upon her that she should permit no one
to stay all night at the bouse, during his absence.
" At night a traveller, rather an aged man, ap
plied for entertainment. The, woman, at first
refusing under instructions of her husband, was
finally persuaded to permit htm to remain.
About eleven or twelve o'clock, the same, night,
some persona demanded entrance into fhe house,
and upon being permitted to come in, they were
found to be disguised as negroes, and immediate,
ly demanded of the woman money, which thy
said they knew was in the house. The woman
handed them the paper money. They told her
There was also silver money, which she must
surrender. She replied that she would go up
siairB (where the traveller was lodging.) and geti
n. ane informed the old gentleman of the state
of things below. He told her to take one of two
piBtols which he had to put the money into her
apron, with the pistol concealed behind it, and
when either of 4he rohbera came forward to take
it, tb fire, and he would save another of them
with the remaining pistol- She did as instruc
ted, and .one of the men fell dead at her feet.
The old man fired and, killed another, and the
third made his, escajveV ' Upon examination, it
was found that the giiiliy husband had fallen by
the hand of his own wife. Thus is it that a mys
terious Providence, even in this world, metes
out punishment u those who trasgressHis laws
" Nothijjjr can be more grossly absurd or utterly
unfounded than the supposition that Mr. Clay will
ever forfeit any of that distinguished consideration
which the Whigs entertain for him, by a factious
and malicious opposition to a whig administration.
No, the g-illnnt Hurry of the West is the soul of
honor or.d he will not, in the winter of his life, prove
recrermt to his lofty sentiments ; but, true to the
principles which he has always cherished, be will
yield a corlial support to his friends and be ready
to turn r.side the shafts of his enemies. No dishon

obsc ured by the mists of treachery, will go down in

intentions, and his desire uot to occupy himself with
politics in case be shall be permitted to return to
France. " All my ambition," 8'iys he, " will be to
live as a good citixen." Louis Phillippe does not
ask the chateau of Neuilly for a residence, on ac
count of its proximity to Paris; he desires permis
sion only to occupy the chateau of Randan, in Au
vergne. On returning to France, he and his sens
w ill take an oath, by which they will bind them
selves to renounce all pretensions to the French
crown. Neither the President of the Republic ncr
the President of the Council, it is added, have as
yet taken this strange epistle into consideration."

EXTRAORDINARY DEVELOPMENT.
Diplomatic Smuggling. We have seen a let
ter from one of lhe Northern European capitals,
in which is disclosed a fact most humiliating to
our country. It is alleged that the diplomatic
reprpsf ntative of the United States at one of the
Northern courts, having been for s6rne time sus
pected, has at length been detected in smuggling
British goods laces, calicoes, &c to the a
mount of 20 000 rix dollars, supposed to be a joint
concern with some traders in the capital referred
to
The ten large boxes containing the goods, were
represented by the diplomatic gentleman to con
tain only supplies for his own family, such as su
gars, &.c ; but one of them was accidentally bro
ken open in the Custom House, and the discove
ry was made. The Custom House authorities
took possession of the whole.
The discovery is said to have produced the
deepest mortification among the American residents.
The Manlv- Course. A letter from Wash
ington, in the New York Courier and Enquirer,
says . s
Some of the incumbents in the principal bur
eaux, intend to tender their resignations on the
4th of March and to retire as gentlemen ought
to do, without subjecting the President to the
necessity of removal. Among this limited class
of official?, are several who have not rendered
themselveu obnoxious as electioneering partisans,
but, who fep, that they have no just claim upon
the considerations of the new administration.
This manly conduct in opponents, is worthy of
praise and entitles them to our respect.

Territory from aliens, and should be preserved
in a most effective condition, nntil time and circum
stances admit of the slow act ion of the greut powers
that make the laws and control the destinies of the
Empire. It appears that Mr. Polk and his designing
adherents, have been, and with considerable succe-s,
attempting to moot fresh difficulties for the new Ad
ministration, in that quarter ; which, if not speedily
remedied, may lead to a revolution on the part of the

ed after the manner of the mother country to her
Colonies, in 177G being taxed, without representa

strong arm of the Government.
All this informution may appenr preposterous fo
some, but history furnishes us with ample proofs of
revolutions springing out of less affairs than the pre
seut uncared-for condition of California. Even onr
own system of courting annexation from disaf
fected portions of foreigu empires, is too good n ex
ample to be eschewed by England, (should I hat beau

of Polk and party have drawn f rom nil quarters of
the globe, of the very worst order and condition of
men being, for the most part, sweepings of the jails
and parishes wish it,) to sway the future destiny,
anJ dispose of the dear and bloodily-bought golden
region of California!
Oh, Annexation ! the bane which prompted the
sons of Columbia to pander to the ambition and dis
honesty of a few peculating and unprincipled men
in power, sooner or later, I fear thy evil is about to
fall upon us. If we establish, as we have done,
the right of rebellious provinces of other countries
annexing themselves to ours for security against
their own exasperated governments, what fault can
we find, or what right have we to do otherwise than
submit to a similarity of action of other Governments
towards ourselves, whenever any of our Provinces or
Territories may choose to revolt, and petition their
dominion over them ? What is sauce for the goose,
is surely sauce for the gander ; and if Mr. Polk has
never thought upon these matters, let him now re
flect upon them!
Though Congress has as yet done but little, it is
! hardly tM enrpoW that now, as the sssion is so
near tv a menu, it c:ta iuii irom me present lime to
be busy at something. During the past week, fhe

Several most able speeches have been made by dis
tinguished gentlemen of different phases of political
fuith or belief ; and during the whole session, in fact,
there appears to have been a greater disposition to
listen to discussion, than to go into action, upon tm-
I portant questions: hence the business to be transac-
I ted by Congress is left to the last, and it is now heap-
! ed up. I might refer to the great speeches of Messrs.
I Caleb B. Smith, Stewart, of N . H , Thompson, of la.,
, ucn. 1 aylor, of Ohio, uen llson, of N . H ., as on
j the side of compromise : and to those from the South,
also, who have met them in the same'spirit, among
whom will be found Messrs. Hilliard, of Ala., Ste
phens, of Ga., and others t might mention if I had

the rub from first to last. It mixes itself up," 6ays
one of the sensible speakers from Ohio, who does

other subject claimed it but negro slavery. It takes
precedence to all other questions nay, it elbows all
other Qottfions out of the House, Come up what

propriates to its own use the time which properly
belongs to the people. It is " nigger" first, last and
all."
The war has been productive of evils innumera
ble, which just begin to show themselves, and thfref
fects of which just begin to be felt. The Bill to pay
the instalments due Mexico, under the Treaty, was
discussed further on Saturday Mr. Stephens, of
Ga., opposed it m toto, and would not vote a dollar
towards it. His speech was one of those that rivet
attention, as it did, and which must have cut the Ad
ministration to the quick He took righteous and
defensible ground r but we have now been forced to
the alternative of acting oneway or the other un
righteously, and have to choose the least of two evils.
It is too late now to undo, though it would be legiti
mately correct; so Mr. Stephens' position, though
not adopted by the House, still is recognized as just
in sentiment. Polk & Co. will uever recover from
the effect the deadly effect this speech will have
upon them.

The House is to take up to-day the Bill to appoint
Commissioners to iettle Claims against Mexico.
This is one of the most important measures of the
Session, and should it not pass the House, Polk Sr

Dr. Seth W. Fowle, Dear Sir : Feeling, as
I do, under obligation to the friend who urgid
me to try VVistar's Balsam, in spite of my h
tility to the endless variety of remedies claiming
infallibility, I cannot justly refuse to comply with
your request to furnish a statement of its effects
From my youth I have been subject to lung com
plaints, and during the last ten years I have been
under the necessity of using the utmost caution
to avoid that most ungracious customer, 4,a cough.'
In February last I took cold a coujrh set in, and
inougn Sllgm in me nrj;""""" " i ;
simple remedies which I always keep for tht
purpose. These failing, I resorted to others, ma
ny of which have gained celebrity, but my cough
increased in violence, and a pain in the side and
right lobe of the lungs set in, which soon bec ame
very distressing and at intervals were attended
with oppressive strictures on the !ung3. During
this time I expectorated freely, but the mucus
raised from the lungs indicated a disease deeply
seated. Two or three physicians very kindly 6ent
me their medicines, which have been very effi
cient in curing coughs, but they failed to reach
my case, and I began to be somewhat uneasy.
In the latter part of April I left home, intending
in tmvfil a while and if possible escape, by thai
means, from present danger. When I reached j
R,iffl,. I had taken an additional co'd, and my j
rough was considerably aggravated. A friend
there advised me to try the Balsam of Wild Cher
ry, but I told him I had swallowed medicine;
enough. Well, sir. I coughed out that dy and
the night following, and the next day my
friend urfed me again to try Doctor W isiar,
and at 3.P M-, I was willing to try anything, for
I coughed constantly. I procured a bottle
drank fit it read the directions took the stage
for home, continued taking it from that bo' tie one
week, and when he Balsam was gnno, my rougii
aud pains were gone, and I have not couched
since. Respectfully yours, &c
F. A. RED5NGTON.
