Before llie Committeo, at 12 o'clock, ap
peared. Rev, Dr. I'utnian, the spiritual advi

commutation of punirhmenl, together with a
confession diat he killed Dr. Parkman. -
The Rav. gentleman prefaced the state

in which the confession wa made to him.
He alated that lie had no personal acquain
tanceship wiih Professor Webster before be
in. called lo act in lh capacity of hi piritu

hs sought no acknowledgiiieiuof the prisoner.
At length on the 23 I May. he Visited him In

oi my ante was (imply to as in conitrence.
I did oot tell him in il what I could do or what
I had to say about the payment. . I wished to
gain for those few day a release from hi
solicitations, to which 1 was liable every d;y;
on occassiuns and iu manner very disagree
able, and alto to avert for so long Ume t
least Ihe fulfillment of recent threat of severe
measures. I did not expect to be able to pay
him when Friday should arrive. My purpose
was, if he should accede to the proposed inter
view, to state to him my embarrassments, and
utter inability to pay him at present, to apolo
gize for those things in my conduct which
had offended him. to throw myself upon bis
mercy, auiTtiie beg for further time and in
dulgence for the take of my family, if not for
my own, and to nuke as good promises to
him as I could have any hope of keeping. I
did not hear from him on that day, nor thr

he had been abroad in pusuit of nic w ithout

The report of the Select Committee on the pay

I regret very notch, Mr. speaker, that the
House refused to lay on the table the report of
the Galpbin c laim. 1 voted in a small minority
to Jispoae of thi matter by laying it on tbs table,
and i did to with the view of enabling tb llous
to prveeed with the public business.
The annronriatiou bills, which are Indispensa

of the Union. Thousands of laboring men in
our etuiutrv.are beting us to protect them from
the effects of the lintisli Tariff of 1816-ra tariff

which we are informed gives great satisfaction
to England. Hundreds of honest claimant! are

rtiirthe other side of this Hall, who have c looted
their Speaker and their clerk, and have eoutru
here, will insist io tbu spending time, it ia be
coming and proper that we look lata Ctber mat
ter of improper conduct among their friend.
But fimt, a few words on the Ualphin chiim. I

that thu Secretary of War continued to act aa a-

bout wliieh wo may differ, as it aeema We do dif-
ior, xju. a iiuua, uii-ni ia aa u.m.vu nt,..j

in the cabinet. A a member of a party, hi
conduct wa inconsiderate, if not unkind", to
wards the other members of th cabinet. But '
no honorable mail hat imputed any thing, dishon
orable to Mr. Crawford. Hit conduct hat been
ui.fortunnto and unwise, hut bis integrity etand
fair and tiaimpeached.
The Whig party are no mora lo blame for thi
