_ Tltunsnav. Jan. 30.
“I11, the, Senate a most important and ani-
mated debate upon the subject of state debts
1001!, Pl8¢8- It Originated from the resolutions
introduced -by Mr. Benton, protesting against
theassumption of state debts by the General
'G0V9mm€n!. or the appropriation of the
avails of the public lands to that object, &c.
which were referred to la commiuge 0; W b ich
-Ml“ lGi""“dY.i's chairman. Mr. G. to day
made a report of the committee upon the
whole subject. 'It was it report perfectly
characteristic of the chairman, and therefore
artful, insidious and sly—-ente’ri‘ng fully imo
the views of Mr. Benton andlthe administra-
tion--and designed as a vital st-ib at the cred-
it of the $litItf$.:_

No sooner had the report been read. than
it tvasypounced upon by Mr. Critteriden like
8!} éilgle upon a mag-pie. He tore it all to,
pieces, and lashed the jesuitical author with
all his grunt powers of wit and sarcasm, in
lh9l"m0_Sl-Hlasterly style. He showed the
'ma,liciou,s .cha meter. of the report. and .prov-‘
ed its errorsnand misstatements-—dt-nouncing
t_h'e'.report as an uiiivarrantable -interference
with the 's§fairs.of-tlie states. as-nncalled'for,l

,8t)¢l- in all respects-‘nnwai-rantable._

Li H:

ed_ for his _i_-_elief, and,cai}iethundgiginggdown .
with hisgcataracts of extlra_cts',:fi gufés a’nd?quo-

for once '-he was thwarted in’ his views. Mr.
Webster took the floor. and with a giant arm
demolished the report. ,. Even Mr. King of
Alabama opposed the report, and censured
the comriiittee—movi-ng that the‘ document
be recommitteil, for the purpose of having
it rc-composed, and brouaht into a more ac-_
ceptable shape. M r. Woebster seconded this
motion, and belabored the report as with the
club of Hercules. He contended that ho had
never encountered ii ineasu re more unneces-
sary or unwarrantable than the _extraordina-
ry paper. His defence of the rights of the
states. and his denunciation of these attempts
to shake their credit-, and dishonor the Amer-
ican name and character,'were masterly.
Mr.Preston likewise took part in the debate.
as also did Mr. Southard. In the end he \va‘s
glad to get back his report. with a whining
promise to try to Flick” it into ii decent
shape. The vote for re-commitment was
considered a victory of the minority.
In the House. the session COHli'i';lJe(l from 12
o'clock _ until near 8 P. M. Confusion
reigned to the end of the session. and Bed-.
lam let loose could hardly have been more
disordered. At 6 P. M. the House having
sum'marily disposed of all former proposi-
tions by the previous question and the table.
Mr. Black of Georgia, one ofthe Chami-lion
race of politicians, known as a State Right.
Van Burr-n. Calhoun. Loco Foco, Sub-treas-
ury, Hard money. Jump Jim Croivmember,
moved three or four ‘resolutions in regard to
public printing. which were‘ adopted; they
were in substance. first, that the House
should go instantcr into the election of a
printer. Secondly, that the House viva
voice should then make choice of a Selrct
Committee of five members to examine and
report upon the subject of Public Printing.
'l'hird_iy. thrztthe prices fixed upon by said
committee. should bebinding upon the Prin-
ter -Low elected.
At 7 P. M. the House obeyed the first pro-
vision. [-Given in our last] The election
of Blair and Riveb having been announced
the House adjourned at 8 P. M.

' Fnionr. Jan. 31.

In the House. the subject of printing has
been under consideration. and they are now
electing by ballot five committee men. all on
one ticket. In the Senate. Mr. Clay present-
rd two petitions. one from Pennsylvtiiiia,
the other from Massachusetts. praying that
measures be instituted by the government.
whereby :1 Congress of nations should be
established for the adj_nstmei_it of internal dif-
,fic.ul,ties.' The petitions were referred.

Mr. Grundy. from the Select Committee
to which were yesterday recommitted their
former Report and Resolutions against the
assumption of the State Debts, returned the.
same with alterations. .

A long debate ensued. in which the report
was warmly opposed by Messrs Clay. Mer-
rick. Preston. and Southard and Wright ’ ‘All
the \Vliigs disclaims-d the project of assump-
tion to have been offered in’ the Report.

Mr. Tallmadge is to speak on the question
on Monday. to which day the Senate adjourn-
cd.‘ '

, MOKDAY, Feb. 3. I840.

The Senate resumed the consideration of
the report -of the select committee’ on Mr.‘
Benton's resolutions respecting the debts of
the States, and especially in regard to their
assumption by the U. S. Government.

Mr.’Cliiy, of Alabama, spoke at large in
vindication of the report and committee, and
against the distribution among the States of
any portion ofthe public revenue, and main-
ly on the ground that it, would now be
equivalent to an assumption of the debt of
the States. .

Mr. Crittenden replied briefly, and main-
ly to the cflect that he had always been in
favor of-ii just and equal distribution of the
proceeds of the lands among the_ States as
their righful property: and much more
would he now be in favor of it when some
ofthem were in difficulty. The Senate ad-
jourried.

In the the House. today. the select com-
mittee on the printing of the House was
chosen. It consists of Messrs. Black. of
Georgia; Davis of lndina; "Prentiss. of
N. Y; Rice Garland. of Louisiana, and E-

vans, of Maine.

HUZZA FOR THE 11th Disraicfrtz

The Whigs of the llth Senatorial Dis-
trict gave a specimen of the enthusiasm
which is felt in that quarter, by assembling
in Convention at Danbury on the 29th ult.,
to the number Oflfll-‘L'8 hundred,’ A better
and more ardent feeling never prevailed at
any similar gathering. and we trust the re

- sults will be felt on the 1st Monday ofApril

next. The Convention was ably addressed
by Messrs. VVhitc, Starr, Booth. lVlieeler,
Dick, Banks, Gray. Lam, and ‘Williams.
At sun-down. the Convention adjournedwith
three ht-arty cheers for old Tippecanoe. to
meet again at the Young Men’s Convention
to be held at Hartford on the 26.h instant.

The Convention was organized the ap-

pointment of the following gentlemen. as its

have a vital interest in thewelfare and pros-
perity of ‘oiir common country, to use every
effort consistent with honor, to overthrow
t_hat.,party which is striving to overthrow-the
pe°p'ie_€, ~ * F .
Resolved. That in the declaration of An-
drew Jackson, “ I construe‘ the constitiition
as I understand it,” we observe a precedent
fraught with danger to the -liberties of our
country--that it established the President as
the ruler. not the servant of the .people—that
it has been so far followed that all-important
incasiircs which our fathers judgedfshould
come from the people have been dictatedby
the Executive-—-that his servile tools in Con

grass. for the sake of union and harmony
in the party have followedhis dictation-—and
that the people have learned their. will. in-
stead of their learning and obeyingathc‘ will
of the people. ' ‘ . - .

Resolved. That the Sub-Treasury Bill-now
agitating in the Congress of the U.Stat‘es. is
a creature of the Executive"-"—‘—that the prihci-_'
pies therein intended to‘ becstablishcd. are
daiigerous to‘ our .libe'rties. inasmuch as it ad-
vances the Eiteciiti.v'o.a‘ long stride toward
the solepower of the purse. and when that
power of the purse_and thatpoiver of‘the
sword are lodged in one hand. no‘nation-can
be free—-that it adds to the already alarming
army of otfice-liolders who are-paidfor party
services-that it will create it heavy addition-
al expense to the Government-. in collecting
and disbursing the revenue. which can only
be paid in the present meagre state of the
Treasury by a direct-tax upon thepeople——
and that for -all this additional expense and
power, not even its ivarniest._friends and ad-
vocatos can show the slightest advantage‘ to
the people to be gained by it. _ .. ‘

Resolved. That the public~—l'iind bill advo-
cated by our late Representa-‘.ive's in Con gress,
the intention of ivliich was to surrender our
birthright to the new States. and the Same
bill in another dress. introduced in the pres-
ent Senate by John C. Calhoun, both deserve
aistrong expression of indignation.-against
those who would barter the interests of their
constituents, for the hopeof the continuance
of the party inpower.

Resolved, That the late and continuing
act of the administration party in the House
of Representatives in refusingthe Represen-
tatives of the State of Ne-wJ_ersey ii seat in
that body. in violatir n ofthe Constitution of
the U. States. has deprived New Jersey ofa
solemn right guarantied to her by the _"Great
Charter” of all our liberties--that by the
course they have pursued. they -may at any
time defeat the organization of any elective.
body upon the principles the're.~established,
that an informal claim will defeat-the opera-
tion of a legal certificate-that the members
from New Jersey having their legai_-certifi-

formity with the laws oftheir oi'vri._State, and

thanks and active ,co-o_pcr;itiAon ‘of ev_e_i_'y~ free-
man, for the firmness and judgm,e't’tt wjth.
which theyiclaimed tlieiir rights--that the
Governor of that State in ;hi's’message, and

proudly..ably. and nobly-asserted their free-
tidm and principles. and that we as young.
citizens of these U. States.joiti -with them in
their determined opposition to this daring
outrage upon their and our libertica. _ _ -
Resolved, That whereris our fathers had a
currency and credit’ based upon;-a solid foun-
dation. and which continued until the ‘latter
part of the administration of Andrew Jack-
St I], which enabled the young‘ ' mechanic,
merchant, farmer, andmanufacturer to real-
ize the just reward of honesty. industry ‘and
economy-——that we claim in justice_'_at their
hands the same privileges. and that our ef-
forts shall not cease until we obtairi,thcm.—-—
that the maxim started in:Wasliington. by.
and with the consent of the Executive’, " That
all who do Business on borrowed cap'ital
ought to break,” has already caused ruin to
thousands of our best citizen's--thatit is de-
structive to the interests of all yo-mtg‘ men.--
ttiat it is a death blow to enterprise, and that

Lusus Nature: Ext’-aordiizarg/.—On Sun-
day niglit-last. Dr. Alanson S. Jones. of No.
74 West Bro:idway,succeeded in delivering
a lady of this city of a very remarkable
monster. It consisted of a being of about the
usual size of infants_ at birth, but having
added thereto an extra pair ofurms and a
double face; the head appeared to have been
originally two heads placed back to back,
but seemed to have so fusvd into each other
that. the head was not much larger than an
ordinary one, but having a face on either
side.of it. _

The arms had :1 common attachment to the
trunk. one pair bending opposite the ,0theI‘.
so thatthc elbows came in contact. There
was but. one pair of legs. but tl_i_ey_ had no
joint from the hip to the foot. but were taper-
ing downward to the bottom, where they ter-
minated iii dump feet: buttlie most singular
of all was. that this moiister did actually live
several minutes after being born ; one month,
however, performing the whole act of respi-
ration, the other month terminating early in
a culde sac. The lineaments of f‘lt_l)_£‘.l' face
were perfect and well marked The mother
of this curious monster is doing \\ ell. The

in the House of Representatives. on the 30th

in the editors had the audacity to confess
that they could not sustain the paper, unless
supported by the government printing. Mr.
Graves also showed that the majority. in at-
tempting to force their election, were acting
in obedience to the insolent orders of that
most corrupt and corrupting paper. He
showed that ivhilein the year 1819, the print-
ing and stationary of Congress cost but 70,-
000 dollars, the same items for the last Con.
gress cost -more than half a million! He
also showed, that for a job of printing which
Mr. Gideon had executed, by contract, for
twenty doIl¢,zrs._ Blair and Rives, for the
same -identical work, had charged and receiv-
