Mr. Brooks, of the Portland Advertis er, has given an admirable descrip tion of the scene preset ltd by the assembling in the United States Senate, of Clay, Jackson, Adams, Buchanan, &e. &c, almost in per sonal contact, while waiting the delivery of the eulogium upon La Fayette. "The spectacle, to witness which, I have said, that I depriv ed myself of the pleastne of hear ing the eulogy, as it cannot he priotcd, of course cannot well be described on paper. A painter alone could do it jutiee, and the most eminent of painters could do it but faint justice. I felt a cuii osity to witness the assembling and the meeting of all the very prominent men of the nation in a single room, and that not a very Jarge room, where there could be but little dodging. I went into the Senate chamber at 12 o'clock, when the Senate met: not six spectators were present, and. of course there was but little noise, i . c u i... . 1 ..." rnult.tude,-and soon ; alter when poindeslt.r who pi.0ia)y has the Journal was read, out went l varmtfr friemls am, bitterer ene- thecomm.ttec ol arrangements ,n 1. anv other In:tn in lhc behaU of the Senate headed by sU loikil r nPar, unllltera- Mr. Clay-and immediately alter j xW Q Aiams )jd under tins escort, came in lenera ; , , i .nrnn . . , . i rs . . ion his solemn, decisive, and some- Jackson then the whole Cabinet, , what ol)s(in;dt. ( a,ld Fo lh then Mr. J.Q.Adams, andthe; ,cJ ,0(); of ,ea;1Il( committee ot arrangements in the j , u.... m House all sealing themselves in the narrow area of the chamber, between the Senators' seals, and just under the Clerk's desk. "Here was the spectacle I de sired to see. On the right was Jackson, then, in the same row, in regular order, Forsyth, the Sec retary of State, Woodbury of the Treasury, Dickerson of the Navy, Cass of the War, Barry of the Post Office Departments, and Butler, the Attorney General. Fronting thse, on the extreme left, was J. Q. Adam, the Ex-jIf President, then the Committees ' of Arrangements for the House, for the House, then Henry Clay, with his feet . i quite touching Gen. Jackson's, directly in his front, then Hugh X. White, then Daniel Webster, then John C. Calhoun, and then James Buchanan. Here was an Ex-President who had defended Jackson in the most doubtful hours of his life. Probably a man of mote varied acquirements than any other man in this country, the model of the intense and de voted scholar, now within a very few feet of the man who had ri valled him in popularity before the people, and with whom, now, on account of political conflicts, he was not even on speaking terms. Here was Henry Clay, fronting the man whose measures he had so often reprobated, with a coun tenance ever expressive, now more expressive, than ever his lip curling in pride, as it were, his brow elevated, his face glow ing with a satifaction that seem ed to say "I might have had your place if I would have used your means to win it." Then there was While, with his patriarchal look in the Chair, between Clay and Webster then Daniel Web ster himself, the illustrious ex pounder of the Constitution, who, as an Orator and a Statesman, will go down to posterity with a fame more dazzling than any olhe merican,.the Edmund Rurkc of 'his country, whose efforts th oming student will reail with the same glow of enthusiasm that we now tvad Cicero and Demosthenes -then .John C. Calhoun, the bril tant thinker, the dazzling states man, a man full of thought, with which, if 1 may be allowed the repression, he ever seems to be Killing over, a man who strikes if axioms in sentences, and who will say more in an hour than any other man in this country can say in three hours and last of all in I he line, came Mr. Buchanan, the famous witness between Jackson ami ('lay, whose story, I dare saj, your readers will remember. Evidently, nearly all were em barrassed. As Jackson came in, he bowed to the Senate, and such Senators as were on speaking terms with him, returned the sal utation, but there was no re sponse, I venture to say from Clay, Calhoun, and Poindexter. Here was the old Lion himself with his bristling grey hairs, in (he very Chamber of the body whom he has denounced in his protest. The old gentleman was not easy. Now his eyes were upon the empty galleries, and anon he would be talking to For-j syth. King of Alabama, came to his relief; and then Judge White gave him a whisper. Clay sat in front playing with his cloak, anil in the midst of all this grave like silence, for grave-like it had become, as if to ridicule the very gravity of the scene, sent the mes senger boy "(Iral'ton" to bring him a pinch f snuff from the box of Senator Prentice, from whom he draws libeially for this favor. Webster was on socially good terms with nil, and, therefore, unembarrassed. Calhoun talked ami lui 11. lJL'iuuii, 11 n: "iciii architect of mischief, was busy writing in the distance. And over all, in the Vice President's Chair, was the little magician himself, with that everlasting smirk of his mouth now more strongly marked than ever hav ing on his easy and happy, self satisfied look, as if he were hula speculator in this extraordinary assemblage of so many opposite characters in one room all crowd ed in the small area of the Senate I ( ' li j ivi t-cr ' I ! in nr ti h rn n I A rrl t , , lhink cmM i ,i , i , i cinn mnr in lh sMPft'iflo hut I .... ui:' fill iiimt-'ss ill ijfiuvn uiiiPLiiiiir in Physiognomy, and I never be fore saw more powerful i I lust ra tions of the force of character as displayed in men's faces, thus hav ing the opportunity ot making immediate comparisons and seeing so many remarkable men, all ol them under some degree of re straint. How many were the thoughts that ran through all their minds! How many different ca reers each man had run to stand in his present position! How op posite were they all in their char acters! For over twenty minutes the spectacle was to be sen, and all this time, in an extraordinary silence; but when it was over, I had just began to see what was to be seen." Explanation. The absence of both the English and the French Ministers from the National Cel ebration in honor to the memory of Lafayette, has been noted in all the papers as a significant fact. It is understood that Sir Charles Vaughan and M. Serrurier ad dressed a joint note to Mr. Adams, requesting him to inform them whether there was any thing in the discourse he was to deliver, which in his opinion, it would be improper or unpleasant for them to fbtcn to. The terms of Mr. Adams' reply ate riot known but they were such as to jelermine the gentlemen to whom it was addressed not to attend. Their course is not at all surprising. The Anniversary of the Battle of jYew Orleans, and the payment of the National Debt. This tri umphant day was most enthusias tically celebrated. The Vice President and the Democratic i r.t . .! c members of the Senate the Snea- i u i ' i ver ol the House and the Kepuh-1 licans c .i . , i j it ,i of that body and all the ii i .- n i ers of the President s Cab- members inet, were present.

To these succeeded regular and volunteer toasts, in terspersed with speeches from several gentlemen.

Had nothing more been done than to elect a democratic Sena tor to Congress, to vindicate the Constitution, by instructing Mr. Maugum lo expunge from the Sen ate's Journals the censure of the President for a patriotic discharge of his duty, and to settle the long agitated and distracting question of constitutional reform; this Legislature would have done much, very much for the honor and interest of the Slate. The public measures which have been matured, and finally sanction ed during the session, are, it is true, few in number; but they rise in importance above those of or dinary sessions. Long will the old Republicans of the State, re vert with pride to the session of eighteen hundred and thirty-four, as the important era when the Republican representatives of North Carolina redeemed her from even the suspicion of having em braced the heresy of nullification on the one hand, or been drawn into the no less dangerous current of consolidation and federal usur pation on the other; when they asserted and sustained the demo cratic principles of the people. and rescued the character of the State from the claim so ground lessly made, and recklessly persis ted in by the bank-whig journals during the whole of last year, that she bat! abandoned the Adminis tration of Gen. Jackson, and sepa rated herself from those republican States who continued faithful in their support of the democratic cause. Hal. Standard. Indiana.

'Congress. In the House of Representatives, among many other memorials presented, wa one by Mr. E. Everett, from John Ridge and fifty other chiefs of the Cherokee nation, reoresentintr their determination to emigrate to the country west of the Mississippi, and praying the aid of Congress in effecting their removal and remuneration for the sacrifices at tending the same. Mr. Everett stated the contents of the memori al, and remaiked on the subject at considerable length. The mem orial was referred to the Commit tee on Indian Affairs, and ordered lo be printed. OCp'A very important move ment has been recently made among the Cherokees in Georgia, the particulars of which are given in the Southern Recorder. On the 27th November, a Council of the Nation, composed of the Chiefs and Head men who are opposed to Slate jurisdiction and are in favor of removing to anoth er country, was held at Running Waters. Elias Boudmot, who is, we Lfclieve, the most influential man among the Cherokees, pres ided. The Council declared it to be their unanimous opinion and a most sound and wise opin ion it unquestionably is, that their people "cannot exist amidst a white population, subject to laws which they have no hand in making, and which they do not understand." Nor could they long exist even with entire political independence, where they are surrounded by whites, and con sequently subject to their social and commercial influence. Among the reasons assigned, in the resolutions adopted by the Council, for the opinion that the nation cannot be re-established in its present location, is staled, "the repeated refusal of the Pres ident and Congress of the United State to interfere in their behalf." The Council declare, that though they love the land of their fathers, they regard the lot of .the exile immeasurably more to be prelered than a submission to the laws of the States, and they are of opin ion that a large majority ofc' the Cherokee people would prefer ; removal, if the true state of their condition was properly made known to them. It appears that another Council, called the Red Clay Council, was held some time previous to this one, at which removal was not ad vocated. The Running Waters Council express their disapproval of the course there recommended dndfordered that a delegation be ient to Washington to represent the views, and wishes of those who prefer to remove to a country where the Cherokees can be pre served as a distant community. The Red Clay Council have also sent a delegation to Washington. Elias Doudinot, in a letter an extract from which is given in the Southern Recorder, writes "the meeting will have a powerful effect. It seems already to have inspired a new energy in our peo ple, who are determined to get out of the jurisdiction of" the States." Bait, Amer J
