exhibited in the following tabular statement pre-
pared by the Secretary of the Treasury.
[We publish only the share of Connecticut,

So much for the policy of Mr. Clay. atjd the
results that would have followed its adoptton_-—
The policy of General Jackson was its opposite.
It is not necessary here to review in detatl his
objections to the bill that had been adopted b.y_-so
large a majority of Congress. He was of opin-
ion that the Lands had been relieved from their
trust character, by the payment of the National
Debt. and the consequent accomplislitneiit ofthe
object of their cession. The true interest of the
Republic he considered to lie in the speedy set-
tlemetitof the Lands, and not in a prudent and
provident dispostiou of them. In this view of
the matter. he thought it desirable. that the Pub-
lic Lands should cease as soon as possible to be
atsource of revenue; that they shotild be sold IO
settlers at merely nominal prices. and should be
in a convenient season surrendered to the States
in which they lie. Such is the advei'se policy to
that of Mr. Clay. There are perhaps few states-
men who are willing to embrace it in its utmost
Ilatitudet though the friends of the present Ad-
ministration acquiesce generally in its leading
principles. antl are willing to sustain measures
=w‘hich cannot but result in its ultimate adoption.
Of this character was the Graduation Bill.
passed recently by the Senate of the United
States. and laid on the table in the House of
Representatives. The action of the popular
branch of the Federal Legislature has thus for-
tunately arrested a measure which was in the
highest degree improvident and inequitable. and
fraught with inevitable mischief. \’Ve published
;'last week the Yeas and Nays on its final passage
in the Senate.

The suliject of the Public Lands has recently
.-excited no little attention in the different States.
At the recent session of the North Carolina Le-
gislature. resolutions were adopted sustaining in
.its full extent the policy of Mr. Clay. The Le-
gislature of Arkansas has instructed its Senators
and reqtiested its Representatives to bring for-
-wartl in Congress and urge the passage of a bill
conferring upon the States the entire right to. and
control over. all the Lands claimed by the Go-
tvernment, which are within their respective
,brtr-lers
Resolutions have been already introduced iu- ; shining of the sun merely to show his power, if.
tion of Congress, is the condition of the Oregon
Territory. Several important resolutions of in-
quiry were this morning adopted in the House of
R-epresntatives upon the subject, and besides
these, Mr. Cushing of Massachusetts. who has
made himself thoroughly acquainted with the
liistor_v ofthe territory. both in the way ofdis-
<-'0V'6ries and treaties, has prepared a very able
retort v.-hicli is now distributed among the mem-
bers. The Senate have had the subject so far
under consideration as to report a bill for the
the defence of the Oregon, and an interesting
memorial was this morning presented to the Sen-
ate by Mr. Lion of Missouri. front thirty six
of the. citizens of the Oregon territory. from
men emigrated there in 1822. They ask Con-
gressto have an eye to the interest of the Ter-
ritory, and to extend to the American citizens
the protection of the Governtnent. This me-
morial is the first, but still small voice of the
Oregon. Fifty years hence ltslitile whisper-
iugs will be changed to a voice oftliuntler.
Mr. Cushing's Report. and the memorial
just presented, gives ati intense interest to this
great subject. Great Britain, it seems. is realiz-
ing the fruits ofa golden harvest, while the U.
States is content to be ati idle and indifferent
looker on.
We have had another Salt debate in the Seu-
ate to-day, Mr. Davis of Mass., has niadea
valuable speech upon the subject of our Fishe-
ries. containing a vast amount ofinformation. his-
torical and statastical. The hardy fishermen of
New England could not have had an abler or a

opposing the proposition ofMr. Benton to repeal
the salt tax, and the law giving a small bounty
to fishermen.

ed that Mass., owed her prosperity to General
Jackson! Mr. Davis commented upon this
Benlonian statement with a mingling of satire
and sincerity. Massachusetts. be said, owed
nothing to General Jackson. He had conferred
no benefits upon her, but instead ofcontributing
to her prosperity. he had for years made war
upon her and her interests. General Jackson,

Territories in the Union. I refer you to the

The Senate were engaged upon matters more
tangible for a reporter of proceedings,
Five thousand extra copies of an important
memorial upon the subject ofthe manufactuie of
the Beet Root Sugar, were ordered to he print-
ed. The author of the memorial is a very in-
telligent and worthy fellow. by the name of
Charles L. Fleischniann. He is a native of
‘Bavaria, and was scientifically educated in the
Royal and Pnlytecbnical school near Munich.
Mr. F. has discovered some improvements in
the manufacture of the Sugar Beet, and the sub-
ect is now pressed home upon the consideration
-of both houses of Congress.
Mr. Benton had another of his golden visions
this morning, which terminated in a motion to
rim five thousand extra copies ofa Report
from the Secretary of the treasury upon the sub-
’iact of ha_rd money. Mr. Benton had prpbably
1.wo objects in view—ihe one the dissemination
‘ofhis hard money notions—and the other, the
putting into the pockets of Blair and Rives,
'so,ri‘:e of his yellow boys.
_A subject which just now attracts the atten-
thanked General Jackson for nothing.
M r. Benton followed on in answer to Mr. Da-
telliug the Senate, for example, that be had
just sent. a note to his wifefiir a history of Portu g al,
and that the history of Portugal was the liisto»
ry ofilie United States for the last three years.

The Senate went through the usual routine of
morning business, and among the memorials
presented was one from America Vespucci,
presented by Mr Benton. The Memorial was
written in English and French by America Ves-
pucci herself. She asks Congress. I believe. for
a grant of land and for the rights of citizenship.
The memorial was read by the Secretary of the
Senate. It contains an ititeresiiiig account of
her journey from Florence, via Paris, to the U.
States. The reading ofilie petition excited a
good deal of interest in the Scpa'_i3, and was
listened to with great attention.
Upon Mr. Bentoti‘s motion, the part of the
memorial re-flierring to the grant of lands was re-
ferred to the comtiiiitee on Public Lands, and
on Mr. Clay’s motion, the second part, refer-
ring tothe right of citizenship, to the Committee
on the Judiciary.
At one o'clock the Senate renewed the con-
sidcration of Mr. Benton's Bill for repealing the
Salt tax, and for abolishing the fishery boun-
tics.
ill r. \Villitims. ofMe..,spoke at length in opposi-
He hoped it would be referred
Isaac C. I to the Committee on Finance, and ifthe Salt tax
was to be abolished, he hoped that alotig with that
abolition the Senate wriuld abolish the duty on
molasses. sugar, coal. iron. breadvstufiis, &c.
Mr. Williams spoke for an hour, and was
followed by Mr. Benton in reply, and in further
defence of his bill.
Mr. Davis answered some allusions made to
him and his State by Mr, Benton,
M r. Benton was determined tp have the last
word, and to this end spoke at length, Allu-
ding to the compromise act, he said he sliould
not be governed by ‘it. He had protested against
it in the outset, and should continue his opposi-
tion. He considered it a bad act, originating
evil and doing evil. '
Mr. Nilesopposeil Mr. Benton’s bill. and spoke
at some length.
In the House, after the disposal of some pri-
vate business,
M r. Everett, in accordance with a recommen-
dation from the War Department. reported a
bill for the reliefof that portion ofthe Seminole
Indians who have been removed from Florida
to the west of the Missouri river. It was read
twice and committed.
Mr. Catnbreleng. from the Committee on
\Vays and Means, to whom had been referred
the Senate bill relating to the establishment of
Braucli Mints, reported the same with an
atnendment. _It was referred _to_aCotnmittee
of the Whole on the State of the Union.
Mr. Catnbreleng, from the same committee,
reported a bill making appropriations for the
suppression oflndian hostilities for 1839. Itwas
read twice and committed.
Also from the same committee a motion. that
the committee be allowed to correct an error in
their recent report on the state ofthe finances.
Mr. Biddle moved to re-commit the Report
to the Committee on VVays and Means, on the
ground that some of the principal arguments
were founded upon false premises, particularly
that which relates to the pension fund.
Mr. Pickens replied, after which, without
coming any decision. the hour having expired.
on motion of Mr. Cambreleng, the House went
into Committee of the Whole on lh.6 Appropria-
tion Bills.
Mr. Pickens spoke under his usual excite-
meat, and made strong allusions to the opposi-
tion of the South to the Tariff.
The following bills were then taken up and
considered:
A bill making appropriations for the payment
of Indian Tribes. etc. for 1839.
A Bill making appropriations for the Naval
Service for 1839.
A bill making appropriations for the support
of the Army for 1839,
Pending a debate on the latter bill. the com-
mittee rose for the want of a quorum, and the
House adjourned before 4 o'clock.

The resignation of Mr. Hubley of Pa. was
communicated to the House. The consideration
ofthe President's message was resumed. The
question pending being on the motion to refer
that portion ofthe message relating to Stockton
dz Stokes to a select committee.
After some remarks from Mr. Mason. of Va.
withoutdisposing of the motion, the Committee
resumed the consideration ofthe General Appro-
priation bills, and after a brief debate. reported
the bills previously considered by the House.
The appropriations bills pased yesterday in
Committee were ordered to be engrossed.
In the Senate Mr. Benton’s resolution. offer-
ed the other day upon the subject of the Public
lands. was adopted.
SALT BILL.
Mr. Rtiggles spoke at length upon the bill and
opposed it. and replied to Mr. Benton’s remarks
in opposition to New England.
Mr. \Villiams. of 3le.. spoke upon the bill a
second time and said ihai out of 38,000 men
shipped. not-two thousand were native Ameri-
can citizens. Oftlie crew ofthe United States
vessel Ohio, numbering 800 men. not 100 are
Americans. The crew of the United States
vessel Delaware consisted ofa less number of
Americans than the Ohio.
Mr- Souibard spoke upon the bill and alluded
to the C0mpl‘0n‘l$0 Act which M r. Benton yes-
terday called a “ liiimbug ofthe largest kind.”
Mr. Sontliard said that when the Compromise
Act was passed, he was not a Senatoroftlie U. S
Had he been, it was still a matter ofdoubt with
him whether or not he should have voted for
that measure. But the Compromise was agreed
upon, and iiiitler circumstances ofa peculiar na- .
ture. It was at a time when this country was
agitated from one end ofthe Union to the other.
Sections of country constitutionally united were
separating. Bad blood ran through the veins of
men, and the consequences were threatening to
become serious and awful. In such an hour as
this. from the purest motives the compromise
was proposed. Patriotism—bonor—duty—eve-
ry sound feeling ofa good heart—diciated the
act. I will never distrust sncli an art as tbis—
I hold it sacred until the hour prescribed by the
compromise shall terminate.
Mr. Calhoun said he felt perfectly indifferent to
the bill inasmuch as no good could come from it.
The duty itself proposed to be taken off rapidly
by the compromise itself—fast enough for the
benefits of commerce, and the interest of the
country. Mr. Calhoun further said he was re-
joicetlto hear the Senator from l\laine—Mr.
Williams—say that Maine would be willing to
have the dirty taken from salt, if along with the
abolition of that duty there should be an abolition
ofthe duties upon iron, hemp, bread stuffs, &c.
The compromise act, Mr. C. said in alluding to
the act, put at resta state ofthings which placed
in jeopardy the peace and harmony ofthe Union.
The South gained a great point he considered
by that act. Mr. Calbotin ftirther said that
there was no danger ofa dissolutioa ofthe Union,
buttliere was, he thought, danger of consiloda-
tion.
The yeas and nays were then taken upon the
motion for leave to introduce the bill, and were
yeas, 20 nays, 17.
The bill was then referred after two readings.
Jan. 31.
In the Senate Mr. Crittendeu called up a
resolution offered by him yesterday, calling up-
on the Secretary of ilie Treasury for the amount
of the expenditures ofthe General Government
from January 1817, to January 1839. Mr. Crit
tenden wished that the answer to his resolution
should accompany that to the resolution of Mr.
Benton, calling upon the Secretary ofthe Treasu-
ry as to the deficit there would have been in the
Treasury bad Mr. Clay's Land Bill passed at
the time it was vetoed.
The resolution was adopted conditionally—
both reports to be made together, providing the
one does not interfere, with the other‘
Mr. Sevier, of'A3rkansas, called up the bill to
provitle for the organizrtion ofthe Department of
Indian Affairs, and to regulate the trade and in-
tercourse with the Indian tribes.
A report from the Secretary of War was read
in favor of the bill, and Mr. Scvicr and Mr.
Linn, of Mo. both advocated it.
A bill to allow allow a drawback on itnported
hemp. when manufactured into cordage and ex-
pOl'lctI,WaS taken up on nioiinn of Mr. Knight,of

The Senate then went into Executive session
and adjourned.
In the House, Mr. Chambers moveil for the
consideration of the resolution offered by Mr.
Naylor on Monday last, calling oti the Navy
Department for copies of charges preferred by

while in command ofthe Mediterranean squad-
ron.

resolution was considered, and with a slight mo-
dification adopted.
Mr. Petriken moved for the consideration ofa
resolution authorizing the purchase of additional
copies of the first volume of the Documentary
History ofthe Revnlution—-published by Clarke
atid Force—-for the the use of the members of
the House and Senate.
After some remarks from Mr. Petriken. in
support of the resolution, the previous question
was demanded. but the hour having expired
without disposing of the subject, the House then
passed tothe consideration of Private Bills. A
great number were passed in Cotumittee.

This machine was recently invented by-Mr.

make a greater saving of Lumber than any other
machine now in use. It requires only a common
laborer to run the macliipo and keep‘ it in order.
It can be set in any mill where power can be ob-
tained frotn water and steam, and requires but
little room. It is the clieapest and most profita-
ble machine before tbe public for sawing shingles,
