The following remarks were mnde 'by the Senators from this Stale on the motion to print 6,000 additional copies of 1 he Report sub mitted by Mr. Webster, in behalf of the commit tee of Finance, relative to the removal of the ile-posiies:-- Mr. Buowx said he would vote for the priming of G.000 copies. lie thought the report couhl not delude and deceive the people; it contained nothing novel; it presented no argument hut what had been fairly met and vanquished in l he Senate, and even if it contained the most overwhelming arguments, he would vote lor printing the largest extra number. Mr. Manclm rose and said, that nol wihstanding the supposed gullibility of the people of this country, they were not t-o gullible as to permit gentlemen to change the issue upon this occasion. The question was of law or no law of Constitution or no Constitution. Sena tors had been charged with standing up in favor of the Hank; such was not the case; he (Mr. M.) repelled this charge. The Report before the Senate did not touch upon any of the great questions connected with this subject; it simply re lated to the act of the Secretary. Gen tlemen felt that the views of the Secreta ry as recorded in the reasons which he had assigned to Congress, were untena ble, both in argument and as regarded his act; they therefore sought to turn the public attention from his conduct, and to make the issue one of Bank or no Bank. Senators, were told that the question was whether the Batik should overpower the Government, or whether it should not. This was not the quest ion. It had been intimated also, by the Senator from Geor gia, (Mr. Forsyth,) that Senators might avail themselves of the money of the Hank, to give publicity to the Report of the committee of Finance. Were these allusions proper? was such language as this proper in the Senate. But it was in character with other denunciations which had gone forth to the people. It was lamentable that high persons, in high places, instead of applying to the judgment, addressed themselves to the passions and prejudices of the people. The question which was now under dis cussion, was not as to the re-chartering of the Bank; that question was riot in any way touched by the Report, which has been brought forward by the Senator from Massachusetts. lie (Mr. M.) had intended only to have made one observa tion, which was, that as far as he was concerned, he could not suffer the issue to be changed. He should vote for print ing of the Report. Howe of Representatives.- The Globe of the 12ih inst. remarks as follows: A most tragic scene occurred in the House of Representatives yesterday. The successor of the late John Randolph of Roanoke, Judge Bouldin rose, and be gan his speech, by apologizing for having declined hitherto lo ask the usual tribute to the great orator, who died a member of the Mouse, and who, while living, bad made it illustrious by his eloquence when, in the act of offering his reasons, the Judge fell dead in the arms of one of the. members near him. The sensation produced was extreme, and excited to the highest, by the appearance of Mrs. Boul din in the Hall, who had witnessed from the gallery, the fall of her husband. When she approached him, and found that all attempts to restore life were in vain, the bereaved and almost distracted lady, pierced the Hall with her shrieks. She was borne from the Hall and her husband's remains were carried to ihe Speaker's room to await the order of the House in relation to his funeral. The private worth and public charac ter of the deceased, will doubtless receive from some one of his surviving col leagues, proper commemoration on the meeting of the House lo-day. In our report of the proceedings of the House, will be found, as taken down by our Reporter, the remarks uttered by Judge Bouldin, when his voice was hush ed by the hand of death. From 1 he proceedings of the House, we copy the following: Mr. Bouldin, of Virginia, having the door trom the previous day, rose and said: Sir, before I proceed to submit a few remarks, and they shall be but few, on the merits of the serious question (the re moval of ;lii deposites) which is now be fore the House, I must advert to the re buke which 1, in all due humility, receiv ed the other day from my colleague, (Mr. Wise.) Sir, he stated, and he stated tru ly, that although Mr. Randolph was a member elect of this House that that fact had not been formally announced to the House. Sir, I am not in the habit of taking any general remark, whatever, to myself; but when a general remark is made, and under such circumstances as will apply to no one else so appropriately as to myself, I am compelled to do so. Sir, my colleague did not as kindly sug gest that the thing ought to be done, which another colleague (Mr. Archer) most kindly and in the most delicate manner, through another colleague, did suggest ihat this ought to be done; and now, as it has become my bounden duty, must tell my colleague, and litis House, and, through them, my constituents, ihe reason why Mr. Randolph's death was not here announced. But, sir, I cannot tell the reason why the thing so kindly suggested, was not done, without telling what 1 have already told my friends, and more than one, what I should say if I done that thing Here it becomes our painful duty to slate, that Mr. Bouldin, after some mo ments pause, was observed lo totter and lean forward upon the desk from which he hail been addressing the House; he was seized with an apoplectic fit, and al though medical assistance was promptly rendered, having been carried into the es planade and bled, the vital spark had fled. The House adjourned on the instant. From the Chapel Hill Harbinger. Errata. In our last number (article, counties of N. C.) the reader is request ed lo correct the following errors of the press for Bertie read Bute in two pla ces, and under 1770 sifter Guilford, add the following: Chatham county. From Orange thus reduced its southern part was separated by an east and west line. Name a sec ond tribute of respect to William Pitt, Carl of Chatham. The Riot. The war among the labo rers on the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal lias terminated, and formal articles of peace have been signed by a number of the principal men ot both parties. J lie President has sent two companies of U. S. troops to the line of the canal, with or ders to remain as long as their services may be deemed necessary. Nearly thir ty of the rioters were apprehended near Berlin on the 30th tilt, and committed to prison. Raleigh Star. Alabama. We regret to learn that the difficulty between the State of Alaba ma and the General Government has not been decisively settled The Alabama Journal of the 25ih ultimo expresses the apprehension that the citizens of that State were premature in flattering them selves with ihe hope that this controver sy was at an end, and predicts that they are destined to a sad disappointment. It states ihe following as the facts upon w.hich its fears are founded: "The movement of the troops towards Port Mitchell seems not to have been without a purpose. The Marshal is now here with orders, we understand, to pro ceed in the removal of those persons who are settled upon lauds included in the reservations. These reservations in clude a very large proportion of the good lands, and, of course, the habitations of many of the settlers. The order is to be confined to those reservations which have not been sold. The settlers, we al so understand, have no disposition to re tain possession of the reservations; they are willing and anxious to buy them."-i&. rWe learn that at a late constable election at Huutsville, Surry county, a fight took place between two men, Col. James and Slonestreet; the latter struck James with a stone, and broke his skull: but little if any hopes remain of his surviving. Stonesireet has been ta ken in custody, and committed to jail. Both these men, we are informed, are ci tizens of Rowan county. Salem Rep. Sudden Death. We learn that some time last week, Mr. Tobias Livergood, a citizen of Davidson county, was found dead on his premises, in a cowstablc. He left the house in apparent good health, stating that lie would clean and litter his stables; his unusual long ab sence from the house, caused some of ihe family to search for the cause, when he was found leaning over a trough, a a 3 lifeless corpse. ib. CoL Crockett. It may interest the friends of this genuine son of the West to learn, that he has lately completed with his own hand, a narrative of his life and adventures, and that the work will be shortly published by Messrs. Carey and Hart, of Philadelphia. The work bears this excellent and characteristic motto by the author: 1 leave liii rule for others, whrn I am dead; lie always sine you're right then go ahead! Rip Van Winhleism. A worthy Pennsylvania farmer presented lately for payment at the Bank of the U. States notes of the former National Bank to the amount of several thousand dollars, which he had hoarded. Having1 heard, he said, that the Bank was in trouble, he thought it as well to look ahead, and get the specie. His surprise was not slight when he learned that the notes were no longer payable any where. A more sta ble policy in our government would pre vent all losses and surprise of this kind. A War of Words. foolish contro versy, misnamed a Theological Combat, will commence to-morrow, at Mr. Bra man's meeting house, in Danvers, be tween the Rev. Pastor and Rev. Mr. Whittemore of Boston. The umpires are the Rev. Mr. Williams of Salem, the Rev. Sebastian Streeter of Boston, and a i bird person to be chosen by those two. The question to be discussed is, "wheth er the doctrine of endless misery is re vealed in the scriptures?" We learn from the Salem Register, that Mr. Braman wished to divide the question into two parts, and discuss, first, whether there is any future punishment revealed, and, sec ond, if any, whether it be endless. Mr. Whittemore would not consent to this division of the question. He would not discuss the question whether there is any punishment after death revealed in the scriptures. Mr. Braman then propose) that if he would come before the audi ence, on the day of the discussion, and declare publicly that he had renounced the doctrine of no retribution after death, or that he had such doubts respecting it, that he was unwilling ?o incur the risk of attempting to establish it, then be would most willingly proceed to debate with him whether the doctrine of endless mis ery is revealed in the scriptures. To his Mr. Whittemore refused to accede, and Mr. Brennan has consented to de bate the main question without any ifs or ands. divisions or concessions. What an idle, profitless, and criminal waste of time for two persons, inuiually obstinate in adhesion to their own favor ite belief, surrounded by followers as im moveable as themselves, to undertake the public discussion of a question which their knowledge of the human heart and the force of education and prejudice, must teach them they can never settle. To convert a peaceful village into a po lemical arena, to excite the passions, a rouse the latent feeling of opposing sects, and destroy the harmony of neighb rs and friends, to gratify inordinate vanny by making a display of theological lore and controversial astuteness, is but a doubtful method of diffusing the princi ples of the gospel. Motion Transcript. A fatal Mistake. Not long since, a man in New York was observed sitting on a cask on one of the wharves appa rently asleep. A person went to awaken him, and shaking him by the arm, he roll ed from the cask, a dead man. H- was one of that miserable class of men known in sea ports as rum suckers. They pro vide) themselves with a gimblei unci a reed and having pierced a cask, place? themselves astride of it, and passing lite reed under their waistcoat, insert it into the hole they have made, and pretending to be asleep, draw at their leisure. This poor wretch had mounted on a cask of spirits of wine, and his greedy thirst had drawn from it immediate death. Bank Fraud. The New York Stan dard of the Gib inst. says: A check drawn by one of the Boston banks on the Phenix bank of this city, for 5,000 was yesterday presented to the latter institu tion and paid. The person who present ed it is a porter, who sometime after hav ing received the money, stated that tho check had been handed to him by a per son in ihe street, who requested him to go lo the bank and get il cashed. Tho person to whom he gave this information, advised him to go to ihe bank and stato the circumstances. Ile did so, and tho officers of that institution made immedi ate inquiry of one of the parties whoso endorsement was on the check, the result of which was that the endorsement prov ed to be a forgery. There were two oth er endorsements on the check, both of which were genuine. The check was paid in notes of $1,000; and we are re quested by the officers of the bank to caution the public against receiving notes of the Phenix bank of the denomination of 8 1 ,000. The check was probably ab stracted from a letter taken out the Post Office. ff?The Bank of Kentucky has issued a notice, requiring all its "notes to be pre sented for payment before July, 1835, otherwise they will not be redeemed. There are still upwards of 830,000 nut in notes, most of which are supposed to bo lost, and will be a clear gain of a corres ponding amount lo the institution. JSeicbern Sentinel. Texas. The Mexican government continues to cherish an adverse feeling; lowards the province of Texas. It is not to be admitted as a State into the Mexi can union, and an additional military force is to be sent thither. Cd. Austin and the deputation had left the capital in disgust. il ' j
