FCUNG-Ittass. -

In the SENA’l'l«), on" Fri'du_t,‘ the I3~lha_VII'
Kiirz, of New York sttbiiiitted a resolution.
providing that as sooir as the CXl.§llllt_{ funded
tlclrt’ ofthe United States is retleemedr "10
proceeds of the lands now pledged bit‘ that
purpose, shall form a fund to be applied to
aid the etnaiicipation ofsuch slaves. and the
removal ofsncb free persons cfcolor in any
of the said states, as by the laws of the states
respectively, tnay be allowed to be emanci-
pated or reiiroved, to any cotttitry or territory
witliout the limits oftlie U. S. ofAuierica.'

Tire bill appropriating money for the ptir-
chase uf pe-.;|r-_’s picture of ‘iVaslii'ngton, now
‘exhibiting iii the Rotunda, was under consid-
eration. A prtiptrsiliirn it) appropriate 6,000
‘rlollars for this object was atlvocated by l.V.Il’.
Mills. Mr. Holmes moved to fill the blank
with Sl0f)t‘i,' and took occasion to airiinatlvert
‘on the iiiferio:executioir,and,,Col.’I‘ruinlrull’s
four pictures which had cost. the nation S32.-

" ‘000. Both ofthcse propositions were negat-
tived. [On Tuestla ‘, fled, the blank was fill-

'cd with 34,500, and the hill passed.]

-In the House, on Friday, a report was
coiiinrunicated from the Secretary ofStatc.
containing theinforiiriition asked for. l'(-‘.l-'tllVt'
totlie capture and deteotioiiofAtnerican fish-
ermen during the last season.

Mr. Cocke, fruit) the coinmittee on Indiair
Aflhirs, made an tinfavorable report on the
subjcct of tirakins; an appropriation for lllt‘
jcxtitrgitisliuient of tire Itidian titles to land.-,
lying within the state ofGcorgia, by ptirclra-
sea from those Creek and Chertiltce Intliam
who reside within the limits of that state:
--—laid on the table, and ordered to be printed.

Excmptioii of Canal Bofgts front 'l'oitiiag'e
Dit.i_y.—-Tire day was principally spent on this
subject. Mr../Vcwton said that the cointiiittce
to whom the subject was referred had coni-
-mtinicated with the Treasury Departiiient re-
specting it, and had lreeii informed that altho’
the revenue would not be injured by the pro-‘
visions of this bill, it would be rrecessary to
inipose some cliei;ks on the system of string-
gliug which was pttrsued"on tlielaltes. The
'coi'utnit?ee had been -disposed to show every
disposition to promote the interests of all
classes of citizens, but they had fotirid it tie-
cessary to insert some provision which would
facilitate the detectioii ofsiiiiiggliirv. As we
are a iuanufacturitrg people, and as ottr cour-
l]lt‘l'Ce with li)l'Pigl) nations is increasing, it is
necessary to prevent any illegal introduction
'offorcig__ii articles which would come iritocotn-
petition with our own. This illegal introduc-
tion could be easily carried on by means of
the water courses on otir borders. -

Mr.Storrs said this bill did not contemplate
any change in oitr revenue laws. He refer-
red to the decision iii the Steatii-Boat Case,
that no state had juristlictioii over the public
waters, ineauiug the tide-waters of the U. S.
"This bill oirly ._t1_l‘t’tnle(l permission to the citi-
{ens of N. York, Massacliusetts, and other
‘states, to irarigaie boats on their own canals,
where there are no tide waters; and this was
cotisiderctl -a great boon from the U. States.
Above tide-water there is no navigation which
‘the jurisdiction of the U. S. can rear :1. Yet
here is air attetnpt. to carry this jurisdiction
into the canal waters ofa state, where no tide
‘\*,‘:rtei's can flow.. He dreaded the cotiseqiien-
ces which would result frotn the adoption of
such a pl‘inC.lplt°. It would compel the states
:0 .‘lt!'l‘8I'lClL'I' to Coiigress alljurisdiction over
their own canals. Such was not the princi-
pie involved in the decision ; and we had been
driven to this house by mere pride ofopiniou.
"He moved to amend the bill by striking out
the first section, and inserting the following:

“ That the several acts regulating the cunt-
‘IT1Cl‘Cet)flll6 U. States, and Jtuposiiig duties

‘on tonnage, and the acts stipplenientary and
ainendatory oftlie same, shall not be constru-
ed to extend to boats employed exclusively in
iiavigzittirrg caiials within the respective states,
and tlieartificial watcrscoirtiected tlrerewitli.’

Mr. 3‘r"rtvta7z replied that if the laws now-in
’operation were rinconstitutional, there were
rzoiistiiutional tribunals where those who are
:t.’_Z-gl'l_B\'€(l ‘may apply for redress. Besides
these canals, there are the Jaiiies River, the
- isiiial Swamp, and other canals, over which

the Juristlictioit of Congress cottld not be
(Vi

questiorred. ire constitution has given ex-
~cltts'ive'puwer to Congress over foreign com-

_!tt€t‘C8. ‘and does not your foreign commerce
float through these canals? Pass the amend-
tiient1;.admit that yoti have no power over
this commerce, &. you inflict a deadly woutid
on your constitution. The committee felt this
and acted with a deteruiination to sustain the
c-.-nstitutioii. Some of your rivers were not
naturally navigable, but were tirade such by
human art. Does that destroy the jurisdic-
tion of Congress?

Mr.'Slorrs repeated that the bill gave Coti-
gress-'jur'istlictiou over canals within the ex-
-clusive-tei'ritory of a statc,=.tnt.l contended that
this was a surreiidr.-r of" tlre_ constitutional
power on the part of the states.

l\l‘r.-’1'cmlt°irson said, ifthe argument oftlie
gentleman froiii N. Y, was correct, the house
was wasting its time, and the bill otiglrt to be
-I-aid on the table. But he did not thitik the
gentleman was right, and did not concur with
him itr opinionthai rfliclrill originated in a
pride of opinion in the Ti-casiji-y Department,
As-early as 1793 the Comptroller oftlie treas-
-ury decided that ferryboats in the states should
,be licensed and enrolled. A similar decision
had taken place in the same quarter, on a
more recent occasion. Tlrepowcr of regula-
ting coiirirrerce resides in the U. States. He
w:‘ii1l_tl not, however, go into this question, as
he viewed the present as a trill for the relief
of New-York, reported in consequence ofiur
application from the legislature oftliat st ate.
Feeling desirous togive c-very facility to l.llt‘

_ state of New York, in car-ryiii}_{ on her great

scliernc nfiiiternal iinpr'ovemciri,ilre c0tiimit-
tee avoided touching the coiistitutioiial ques-
tion. All which the state ol'New York had
asked, was granted; all that the gcritletiiair
{iota N. York could expect, was ;_r,rauted—-air
exemption front the iirrpusition oftlic tonnage

-duty, and frotii the inconvenience of takiu_:;-

-out a ficense. The amendment oftlre gen-
tleuran from New-York, which had lreeii of-
fered iii the shape ofan original bill, was cori-
fused and uiisatisfactury. It was t.-'.'.- gpinioir
of the couimittec that some law was necesazi-
ry, to grant the exemptions reqiiested ; and
it was from a conviction that provisions were
tieccssary to protect the revenue that the res

idue oftlie bill was reported. Ifit is tlitrtiglit
that Congress have no. power over the sub

:jt‘(':I, it would be proper to lay the "bill on titt-

table, and that troucofit should pass. I-It'-
cxplaiiit-tl that the reason why the boats on
the Connecticut and Zdississippi rivers were

' exempted from ditty was, because they were

-rcitlier decked nor nrasted. Such boats. as
were decked and masted paid a dirty.

Mr. Cantbreleng thought that the amend.-
inent cauie nearer to the constitution than the
original section. Mr. Webster viewed the
cairal as likely to forui a part of a chain of

-eouuncrce between States ; and if so, he saw

no reason why Con«_{,t'css should irot exercise
power over it. Mr‘. ,Barb::ur contended that
Coirgress had no power in this case, and it
would Ire absurd for it to grant an exemption
fromlpower wliicli it did iiol possess. He con-
grattilatet! himself that-he had at lengtli seen
5] c()n§[illlIIt)flal objectioir raised lr. smite oth-
er state than V’I)'_£,"’f’llIcL. Mr. .M’Le.'m tlrouglit
the auiendureirt went further than the mover
iiuagiued. Black Rock was a port of entry,
and while every other vessel that went there
had to pay a. duty, this aiiieirtlmeut would
permit canal vessels to go there in a state of
.,iitlawr'y, out of any jurisdiction whatever.—
Mr. Stoi-rs then modified his auicucluient by
\l|'ll(I|l§_{ out the words “ and the artiftciarl wa-
ters coitirccred therewith.” Mr. Marvin and

,;‘v'Ir. .’lIri.i~tindiile said that it would be useless

to pass the bill so tiiodifietl, for almost every
boat went into Lake Champlain, or into the
lrasius at Albany or Black Rock. The ques-
tion was then taken on ‘the amendment as
modified. Ayes 87, Noes, 553; and the bill
was ortlernrl to be t‘f:iUI‘ a 3d time to~inorrow.

On Saturday. the House took tip the bill
concerning C-aii:il vessels and boats, for a 3d
rcadiiig, when a motion to recomnrit it was
made. After tlebiite, it was laid on the table,
oti motion of Mr. Webster who ‘ believed
both the bill and the aniendinent to be unnec-
essary, as the laws laying tonnage duties did
not now apply to Canal boats, and could not
be eiil'orccr.l with respect to them.’ .

The bill providing for the payment oftb
interest of certain sums liorrowed by the state-
of Virginia, to liquidate the expenses incur-
-etl iir calliirg otlt the militia during the late
war, (about 70,000 dollars,) was taken up in
coirriirittee. On this subject, at wide and ex-
it-irdcddcbate took place on an amendment
offered by Mr. Sharpe, ofNew York, submit-
ting a general proposition to extend the prin-
ciple of the bill to all other states, that had
similar pecuniary clahns. Before the ques-
tion was taken the House adjourned. -

On Monday, ‘llst, the Senate transacted
no. itiiportantbttsincss. In the House, Mr.
McLane from the Committee of Ways and
Means, reported a bill directing a discriiiiina-

iion between itnportations by citizens of the

United States, :iud.tliose on foreign account.
[On Tuesday this.bill was read atlrird time 81.
passed] M r. Iirgliain, from the Select
couiniittce to whom the President’s lIleSSE1_-_',€,

'of'tlie 6th ofJan. last, was referred, made the

following, report, which, with the doctuiients,
was ordered to be laid on the table, and prin-
ted: That they have received frotn the Pres-
ident varéous documents containing explana-
tions and evidence in support of his claims.-
'l‘lie committee have, also, received from the
President the document explaining the trian-
ner of the disbursement ofthe ll)0l'le_\'_S appro-
priated by the acts oftlie 3d of.Marcir, 1817,
and 18th April,l-‘1l8,for furiiishing the House
occupied by the President; all of which they
have attentively examined, and herewith sub-
mit to the House. The House then pru-
ceeded to the election of Printer for the next
Congress : the votes were as follows :—Galcs
ELL Search 141 ; H. Niles 40 ;Davis EL Force
8 ; Elliot 2.

Little business ofgeneral importance was
done in Congress on Ttcesdtiy. ~ The Senate
passed almost unanimously, the bill for the
preservation and civilization of the Indians.

Oii T/iursday, in the Sctiate, the bill from
the House, providing for the contiiitiatioir of
the Cuiiiberlaiid Road,.was ordered to a third
reading, by a vote ol'Q9 to 15. v

The bill from the House to authorize a
subscription by the U. S. ofl500 shares in the
stock oftlie Cliesapeake and Delaware Ca-
nal, was ordered to a 3d reading.

On IVcdiiesda.y, the House rejected the l_ii_ll,
from the Senate authorizing the ptti'chase.of
I’eale’s Portrait of \Vasliin9,toti. On Thurs-
day a petition was presented from about 80
towns on Conn. River, on the subject of irri-
proving the navigation ofthat rive r.-—-A hill
authorizing the payment of interest due the
state of Virginia was passed.

 

NE‘lV—YORK LEGISLATURE.

1"Tl.d(l_I/, Feb. 18.-—Tlie Senate spent inticb
time on the hill to repeal the laws agaiirst pri-
vate banking. . A resolution for indefinite

reported agaiirst the lrtll frotii the house in-
vesting the Secretary of State Willi the au-
thority of appoiiitiirg State Printers.

In the House, a petition was presented for
the survey of a route for a canal from Susque-
liatiirzth river tltro’ the valley ofllie Uuadilla
river, to the Erie Canal. Several bills were
reported for batik incorporatioirs, &Lc. The
Howard and Rochester Insurance Co. bill»

was appointed to inquire and report how ina-
ny Bauk and Iiisiirance Co. Bills t)ll=_[lt[ to

It is said that in the multitude of S('.lll3|lle*

for although the public eye has been turned
