IB. PRESTON'S SPJEECM. A g?od deal ha been said about this Speech, but not more than it deserves. It was his allusion, in this Speech, to the fallen condition of Virginia which so nettled Mr. Rivis, and threw him into a paroxysm of passion. We subjoin the passage: " Sir, wheii first Iheard that a State L'-ginlatlire had instructed her Senators on this floor to. voteUn favour of this thin, it struck me iwiih inexpressible sorrow and dismjfy. But when I, from -lime to time, beheld Various other State Legisla tures-jacting Under the same dictation, or at least misled in the same mistake, sor row assumed in my bosom the comntex- ion of despair. But there was still one I ingredient toibe added to this cup, to ren der the odioiis draught more intolerablv bitter. I could, I will confess it, with some comparative degree of philosophy, nave seen certain states ot this Confede racy, one alter another, giving and bring mg; their successive sacrifices to the at tar ' of Executive power. I could have borne to seehhis and that and the other State prostrating herself and aiding in the geReral conspiracy to prostrate the Senate. But. when at length it came to pass that the ancient and powerful com monwealth of Virginia was brought to bow her venerably locks before the fnt-trrtl of power, forgot her past history, forgot woo ami. wnac we. is, atul what she has been, anil associated herself in a combi nation likeithis, how shall I describe to you my feejlipgs ? - As a politician, i might have been mortified at such a spec tacle : as a btatesman, bslongin to the Untted States, I turnet,! from it with shame out as a native ol Virginia, I deplore, I lament, from the bottom of my heart, that t . " sue, too, nas joined the funeral proces sion of the Constitution. Sir. I was nrnuil to remember, her in her nroud ilav to ffonMtier tier as she once was, and perhaps -.1 . j ' iiii is me great mother ol men : to look L I .1 ' . . . ' DacK to mat Orient, that immortal period in our history when she recalled her chil dren from these halls of national legisla tion into her own Legislature,'- there', to vindicate the rights and independence of the State, and to re-assert the violated Constitution against the usurpations of mis government. l hen indeed, Virgin ia preserved that illustrious cliirar.icr which had descended with her from the, devolution..; then, she put herself-on her; S'ate rights, and on .her popular doc trines of a free Government ; and all who witnessed the -animating sight must have concluded that, throughout her ex. Uience, the would ever continue to vin dicate and (o perpetuate the doctrine and the: spit it of liberty. Sir, I could have wished that the honorable gentleman who now represents that distinguished State could have found in his own mind reasons for taking a dif ferent course from that which he ha niii-. sued in this Tmatter With the powers which he unduestionabl v hlis liberal education and large experience a id especially with the srootf fmtunp nt jrrowing up amidst the very men who laid ' the-louiulations of our Ri.ki: t hoped that, he would have invoked the ancient spirit ;of his State, and would have addded the suffrage bf his voice to save the trembling -Constitution, about to he immolated at the foot-stool of Execu tive poy9r. But it 'was ny lot to be lis apointid j andI mourn, from'' the bottom of my heart, the insiruction under which he leels himself constrained to vote for this verjr xtnaordinary Reso'liftlon Where are the! s dateness. th the calm and cautious wisdom of Madi son ?

Br, I lament, I mourn that mj native State should have lent herself anu me remnant ol her glory to promote and gloss over this nroceedinc. I take conflation, however, Mr. President,fhat there is one State, one free and fearless State, which has keptHietrself aloof from hote pride and I honor demand of tne, her retBsentatlvW. Ifn tnVo " t I I T ' " f 4, m 1 ',:..wl,j,aa 4 UUI' IIU, rJSoutjivoi : We Bubjoin also, tbie coadiision. of this trur cto' quent argumentr ; :.-,;Vv.. :U I n other dav. it has often hannen ed j r rr that'successive Senates have differed from each: other in oniniona and nTlliev. and havcj in like manner;1 'itiRered ;f"rom the: Executive;, and each Senate has freely expressed its own sentiments. In regard to the United States Bank, for example, the 6pini6nssof this body, have varied at different periods. "The Senate, at one time, tliought that Bank constitutional at another time, they thought it uncon stitutional ; a majority now consider it as a monster. Why not, then, expunge?' vvny not tiraw your black lines round that part of your Journal which records the act fry which that bank was charter ed ? The resolution asrainst which'vour w . . nf magnanimous wrath is now directed, has done no harm. It has led to no action., It has brousht no Ion?- train of evils on t - o - the country. But the. charter of the Bank of the' United States -what did not that effect ? That was no empty declaration of opinion. It''was a substantial act. And to what a lonjr black? catalogue of national calamities did it not, in your opinion, lead r II any thing is to be ex punsed,' whv not exnunre that ? It seems not to have entered" the Imagination of gentlemen on the other side to draw their lines around that Resolution. Yet the honorable Sena Lor from Virginia believes most sincerely that the act was unconsti tutional.- He holds that it-led to enri se quences greatly detrimental. -'to the na tinal srood. and fells us that the Presi. dent deserves the everlasting gratitude of the country for having abolished and destroyed the bank. .Well, sir, if it is not fit in that case, how and whv is it fit in this ? Because this violates the righ's of the People? So did that. Is tliis un constitutional f So was the other. Is this derogatory to the feeling and wishes of the P esident ? So was that. Is the Senate bound in duty to express its dis approbation of this act ? Why not of the other? But is it really so great an of- 1" a 1 r . - rence to diner irom the President on a. constitutional question, insomuch that all traces otsuch a thing must be obliterated from our records ? that it must be effaced "expunged purged off? Why, sir, the President differs from us constantly on constitutional points ; and both he and this Senate diller widely from President Washington on a constitutional noint. viz. on the constitutionality of the Bank of the United States. Why is not the opinion of Washington to be expunged ? vvrry not go back, and hold him up as a sacrifice ? It hss, indeed, in some sort. been already done. You have not broken into the sepulchre of Mount Vernon, and dug up his bones, and burnt them, like icklitte's, but you have immolated his name : his virtue--, his nlorv. have been taken from him, and transferred to an other. .Why not make your sacrifice complete ? If the nrincinle on which vou ! J act is jealousy for the honor and power of the Executive, why not, when former Presidents have sent us messages contain ing unconstitutional notions, expunged the messages from your archives ? The Pres ident sent us a message in the panic ses sion of 1854. How .would gentlemen have taken it, had those, who constituted the majority at that day, proposed to ex punge it from the records? Both Houses of Congress have differed from other Presidents. Does any gen tleman here dream. of a leadin? member in either House, under he Jefferson Ad ministration, proposing to expunge any Presidential opinion which did not cor respond with his own ? Or would anv supporter of the wise, and sedate; the grave, the temperate, the forbearing Mad ison, ever conceive the notion that he was to be propitiated by effacing the nub- lie record ? Did he ever require his friends to depart from their public duties, neglect the exigencies of the public busi ness, and address themselves to this most extraordinary method of silenciflg the in dignation of a President ? There was a great struggle in '98, and after a long course of most bitter and acrimonious p.u tv warfare, the republican party even tually triumphed, and came into nowpi i . . ... - 1 but in the very heat of conquest, and still covered, as it were, with the sweat and the dust of battle, did it once enter into their heads to expunge from the pub lie journals the acts of their predeces sors ? Or could it now occur to the minds of intelligent and honorable men that thev II 1 A . ! 1 . . . . J arcaucu upon to vindicate the ashes of the illustrious dead by removing from the national archives all traces of difference of opinion on the part of either House of Congress from the departed saviours of our country ? Dare the honorable Sena tor from Pennsylvania rise injiis place, and with a reverend regard to yonder image of Washington, introduce a reso lution to expunge whatever on' our jour nal intimates a difference of opinion from mat greai man r vv ui he venture to look into that venerable and venerated countenance, and make such a motion I 1 1 tlk.r .M U . . 3 XT w - una iKumuci r sir. riis own heart tells him that the image would frown upon him from its frame, and, could it speak, would cry.

The act is fraught with most dangerous consequences. It inflicts deep wounds on the dignity and the po tency of this body ; for I see in the coun tenances of many honorable gentlemen that they would gladly avoid this thing, and would; if they could, avoid the deed.

And when, after a solemn and mournful pause, the Secretary has pei form ed his detested office, and has mangled the record of the Senate, will any here rise iti his place and cry aloud thus per ish all traitors ? Or will they not rather hang their heads, and, smiting on their breasts, heave mournful sishs over "n hard a necessity ? I shall witness it, and whatever 1 may reel, I shall feel notfcind- nersonallv. So far as I concerned, I can fold my arms in perfect coolness, and witness the dpil w'.ti.;,.. shrinking.

A Family Quarrel In die Senate of the United States, a few days since, there was quite a blow up in the ranks of . the party. Th6 Correspondent of the Baltimore Patriot gives the following account of the scene : "I heard tliat, in consequence of the outrageous arrogance and violence which Mr. Benton displayed yesterday, in his speech on the bill which repeals the Trea sury Circular, several Senators of the Rives section, at a meeting last night, resolved that he must be put downthat he must be given to understand his part was to follow, not lead! But I had no expectation ot hearing such a declaration of war, as Mr. Walker, of Mississippi, evidently with the concurrence of a majority of "the Party." proclaimed against the great Expuno-er to- claimed, '-from the wild and extravagant opinions of the Senator from Missouri -I'his in his opening paragraph. Then, as it the recollections of their former com panionship had rushed over him, he said he would overlook many of the remarks of Mr. Beaton. kI hope you will not overlook one, sir!" cried Mr. Benton, rising in wrath, and pushing his chair from before him vjiu omo me uounirv," he ex vnat one."" asked Mr. Walker, his chuier rising. kNot one of them.

"And-, the Senator from .

Jan 27. The evening of tlje 25th presented us with another grand display of Auroral lights, surpassing in some resnpcU, that of Nov. 17th, 1835, to which, in many particulars, it bore a strong resemblance The attention of the writer was at first attracted'foJt as early as 6 o'dtckthe-. fore the twilight wasr.. At thi Vie, the northern sky exhibited a' blush, not unlike that C'bf 1 he fairest daw n. c This was skirted on the east and west, bv a J I - defined columns of crimson light, which moved slowly from north to south. At 7 o'clock, those began to send up stream r ers, all of which tended, as usual, fo a common focus, a few degrees south and east of the zenith. At 10 minutes past 7 o'clock, the corona was distinctly form ed, embracing the Pleiades,' which were nearly at its centre, and 'seemed for a few moments to Control its mvst prions movements. By (he diurnal motion- how. ever, those stars soon moved to the west ward ; but the common focus, or noint of ' j w.utwuiBc ui an me streamers, held af fixed position in the map-netic m Arid i art and near the pole of the dipping needle, as was the case in the similar, 'exhibition of November, 1835. V" L At three different times during the even ing, the corona was dispersed, and as often re-formed ; but the 'position of its Centre remained nearly invariable with respect to the magnetic meridian. Meanwhile, the twi light of the north ern skv had mnucil slowly southward, its boundary spanning the firmament from west to east in a weff defined zone, until it left only a segment of the southern? Hemisphere, about SO de grees in altitude. This portion nf th heavens, thrown as it was into striking contrast with the illuminated narts nfth sky, appeared of a dark slate color, and exhibited the interesting seeming to shine brightly through a stratum rui..i. .1... . 0 ' y 0 01 uiach. ciouus. r"i i . f j .... iwuo uiic- resting evolutions, until 15 minutes after tallied all ltS forrr.

Indeed, the two nln- nets appeared through a dense mass of reu vapor with, seemingly augmented splendor. The ground itself, . now cov ered with snow, which exhibited a deli cate rosy tint, contributed to enhance the beauty of the scene. In these various attributes of "randpnr and beauty, the present greatly exceeded -11 C- .

This is remark able : perhaps there is not more than one instance on record, when so splendid an exhibition of the aurora w witniepd in the presence of so full a moon. . The Magnetic Needle was watched attentively by Mr; E. C. Herrick, and was observed to, undergo extraordinary fluctuation, at one time (7h 41m) deviat. ing a whole degree westward of his mean position, and at another time traversing 45 minutes of a degree in two minutes of time. " The Barometer had previously beeir subject to uncommon variations.

Its entire range since Dec. I9lh, when it was 30.91 has been very remarkable. - Early in the evening of the Aurora, the Thermometer was at 26 deg.
