ted the Distribution principles, as just in

nance. The measure was therefore to be
consideredas ati Administratioti measure.
‘Willi this iiitrodtictioti, he pt‘occeded to
argue in defence of a somewhat. novel doc-
trine, that under the deeds of ccssion, the
Public L-ind was ceded to the United States,
not as a trust fund for the benefit of the re-
spective States. but as a common fund for the
benefit of the Federal utiioti. This question
was disposed of most un.’}.t'-‘l‘ClTl0l‘ti0tISly, and
altnost with the naked declaration that what
he said was true, and" because, he said, no
man could gainsriy it.
Many ml3CL3ll2lnCOl1S topics were alluded
to by the Senator‘, connected with the Reve-
nue: Taxation,Distribution,Soc. the siibstaiice
ofall which was, that direct taxation was the!
only sound doctrine; that a revenue t.-ix tip-

Mt‘. Webster‘ said in reply, thzit the ardent

eminently Conservative in their cliai‘;ictt'~r.——
Instead of being irritating, they were heal-
ing. Instead of injuring the States oi‘ any
portion of thezn he believed they would be
found oftio injury to no one of them and of
benefit tothe whole. ., Mi‘. Vtfebstei‘ proceed-
ed to say that he knew not what would. be
the opinions of the Executive ofthe newa-d-
Tministration upon the subject of the distribu-
tion, (Mr. Calhoun intet‘rupted him here by
saying he had only inferred that (llS'.l‘ll)t’tflOli
hope continued Mi‘. Vifelister, the Honorable
gentleman will be found less correct than he
is usually found iuliisanticipationsif his antici-
pations tire as,by a liope.e.\‘pt‘essetl,iliey seem
to be that the new Administration will not
favor distributioti. Nothing was ftirthei‘ from
my intensions, Mr. ‘W. 'i‘ciiiat‘ke.cl, than to
have said any thing which should have led
to the discussion of this subject. I had wish-
ed that this great subject coiitiectcd with oitr
Public Lands would have been postponed to
the next session of Congress, when others
would come here with expressions of opinion
more in harmony withithe People. Distri-
bution was a favorite measure with them.——
‘.Vc heard yesterday
of resolutions adopted in I‘Ccritiic-ky, indepen-
dent of pat‘ty lines. The. discussion of this
subject had united all parties. The Legis-
lature of Pctinsylvanii we heard today had
moved in defence ofthis gt‘eat.stibject. The
measure had passed the two I-lotisos of Coti-
gress. Tlie Presi-:lent that was, had given
it a quiet death by putting it in his pocket.
If he had not done so, it would now have
been the law of the land; or iflie had re-
turned it to Congress, in spite of his objec-
tions it would have become the law ofthe
land. Tho.Scn-ator from S. C. hoped to
prove, as be said, that the measure was uti-
constitutional aud disastrous to the country ;
and he had said he wold prove this. How
had he proved it? I will give you in as
plain a way as I can, my reasons for‘ cotnitig
to a different conclusion. Wliat is the pow-
er ? "Congress -shall lirive power to dis-
pose of the territory ofthe United States,” the
strongest and perhaps the most unequivocal
power in the Coiistitutioti. Tliere was‘r'io
restriction upon the power of Congress to
dispose ofthe territory. Cotigress was only
boutid by its duty to preserve the public good
in disposirigofit. lVe may i‘aisei‘evcnue fi‘om
it, in whole or in part, just as we may from
the laying of taxes. It was not lotig since
that a hypothesis was laid down that the
sales of land in the new States was a
tax upon the people of the new States, and
so one party drove us from tlieCustom House,
and another fi‘oin the Lands, and between
both the Constitution would be found in a
pretty predicament.
The truth was, that the power in regard
to land and sales were independent, and be-
longed both to Congress. Proving this, Mr.
IV. continued,to examine the proofs laid down
by the Senator from S. C. _and showed clear
as sunliglit, that the cession of Virginia was
a cession ti the States individually, and nit
as - had been said in the aggregiite. The
deed of‘ cossion in Virginia was for the
benefit ‘of the individual states as COnt£llli€"l
in the deed of cession itself. -
to say that he did not concur in the views of
the Legislature, but he did not see any ne-
cessity of enlarging oti that subject, during
his stay in the body. He presented them,
as had been requested, and ‘he did so with
great respect for‘ the source whence they
came. He would move that they be read,
and pritited. ‘
The resolutions declare that gold and sil-
vet‘ is the. currency of the Constitution;—
tliat the moneys of tlte,government should
be kept in the Treasury instead of Banks,
-and that a tai‘iffol protection is a violation
ofthe spirit and letter ofthe Constitution.
Mr. Cl.-iy pi'esetitt‘d the resolutions of
the L:=gislattti‘e of Ketitiiclcy, in favor‘. of
the distributioti ofthe procct.-ds of the public
lands, which, hesaid, passed that body with
an unanimity almost unexampltiii. There
were but four negative votes in the two
branches. Thus, this _gt‘eat leading feature
of the policy of Mr. Clay seems to liave
been adopted by the people. He said he
bi-lievcd that nine tenths of the white people
of the U. S. were in favor ofit.
There were a great many memorials in
ftvot‘ of a Batil-grupt Law, front all quarters
and some fi‘oni the city of New York re-

the opinions of Gen. I-larrison arid the want
of opiniotis. The subject of the House was
lost sight of aliogetliei‘.
Illt‘. Duncan’s object was to prove that
Gen. Harrison was not only a man without
talent, but without principle; while Iifi‘. Van
Buren’s fl(llIlI[1i§l.l‘itllOn was as pure an ad-
ministration as ever had been or ever could
he,an'l its head as talented as ever titan \\ as.
The election, he said had beeti the result
of Logcabins atid Coon Skins, and the In-
dependcnt Treasury was a measure of the
People.
Jlfi‘. Bond, of Ohio,. took occasion to cor-
rcct some of the assertions of his colleague,
and a scene ofconftision was the C0nSt‘ql.lC‘l]ct’.
Mr. Botid insisted that Gen. - I-lttrrisoti
had expressed his opinions fully upon cvet‘y
question, and proved it by reference to his
letters and his speeches.
l\'lt‘.Duncan denied with great vi-lictnence,
and the time was consutiied iii the repetition
jof old accusations against tllt;‘Pl‘€Sl(lL‘lll elect.
‘Among other siihjects referred to by Jigfr.
Duncan was the cbai‘ge made in rcfct‘etice
to postponed payinentson public works. Mr.
B.-it‘n:ii‘d’s stateini-nt was denied, and a gen-
eral denial given to every such allegation in
regard to postponed engagements.
llfr. Barnard called for proof, and insisted
that if the member from Ohio would-look to
the cases he had specified, he would find
what he said would be true. The remarks
of illi‘. B. were corroborated.
lift‘. Williams, of Cotiu. also ititcri‘upted
Mi‘. Duncan, and said at New London the
\V(')l'l\'mt‘D employed upon the fortification
(Fort Ti‘timbttll) had their wages i‘t—-duced

bills were given oti the first of August, and
from that time to the end of the ‘year paya-

most of the proininetit Senators on one side
or the otliet‘.
Mr. Mangum. ofNortliCarolina, eloquent-
ly warned the country ofthe panic and pre-
judice which the. adhe.i‘ents to Mr. Van Bu-
reii’s administration were endcavoring to ex-
cite against their successors, and in (lt.-fen(l-
ing the new Administration, he paid a wor-
thy tribute to the eminent services of a Scu-
ator fi‘om Massachusetts, who has been made
tlle. target fot“all the sharp sliootei‘s in the
ranks of the Arlmiiiistration. The heavy
cannon of l'Vrig/if and Cal/1.07/,n, the pop-
guu of AlI.'crt, and the toinaliawk of Betitoii,
all have been tltrowii at him for sortie few
remarks, modestly Slll)flllll.t'fl less than it

Mi‘. l\‘I-inguni, like a good friend, atid in
justice to the country and one of her most
tvortliy sons, threw liimself into the breach.
As a Southern man who had been an ob-
server of Mt‘. Vt7ebstet"s public services, he
could say, “ \Vt.'ll done good atid faithful ser-
vant.” Tnere were great and noble servi-
ces rendered by Mi‘. \Vebstcr, of which the
country was ignorant, and which, in the
opinion of Mr. Mangtiin, would, if they had
been seen and known, have added more to his
reputation than all his learning 5; eloquence,
distinguished as he is for both. The history

Congress. could .'l tale unfold,’ not as some
have contendi-d, to the disparagcnicnt of the

make him more eminent with the American

S.»\T) CALA MITY \VlTfI LOSS OF LlI7'E.
Yesterday morning at about 8 o’clock. the
Si.P€|in engine used in Messrs, Pike & Per-
ry’s Sash and Blind Manfactory exploded,
producing i‘tiin and devastation to the build-
in 5‘, and what is most melancholy and afiiict-
inrj‘, Calvin M. Pike, a young man about
‘20 years of age. and a brother ofthe senior
raituer, was lcilled iiistaneously.
The engineer, Mr. Higby, who was stand-
ing by the engine at the‘ time, found himself
a number of yards outside of the builing——
and fortunately, we are told, uninjured ——
One or two other workmen were slightly
injiired.
The boiler (upper part) was sent with tre-
mendous violence through the roof of the
building to the height. as stated. of 150 feet
producing in the earth on its fall an excava-
tion of several feet, although frozen.
The only cause which we are at this mo-
ment able to give is, that which is common
in most cases of the kind—tlie water in the
boiler becaiiia too low, and on— filling up with
cold, steam was createtl faster than could es-
cape through the safety valve.
\Ve are unable at the present time to state
the amount of loss of property.

Dec. 9, I840
As I promised to give you the result of
my exprwimvnis with Poudrette as a ma-
nure for various crops, I now have to say
that I considcrit superior to any that Ihave
ever tried.
On Pr/latocs, the seed, soil and time of
planting being the sauie,those manurcd with
Poudrette in the di‘ill, came up four days
earlier than those mantired with the best
stable manure; and kept during their whole
growth before them; and when dug they
yielded larger tubers; btit as the two parcels
were not accurately measured, (some hav-
ing been used.early)l cannot say how much
difference there was in the product; but I
know those raise d with Potidrette were the
largest bulk.
Fm‘ Ci)7‘7l, I think no other manure can
come in competition with it. I planted, last
season. on swa rd land turned over (being first
mantrrod with common yard dung)tlie ground
rolled flat, and harrowed-——no plough used af-
torwnrds; the rows being mnilnd by zuiox
chain drawn on the ground,the corn dropped,
and halfa gill of Poudrrtte immediately put
on the corn, and lightly covered with the
hoe. This was done from the 25th to 28th
of May, as the weather allowed. ’.\fIOT8-lf_l'ifl3l
a fortnight af‘.t‘l‘ my ni—-iglibors had planted, I
was told by many who saw the mannefand
time of planting, that I should have no crop,
but in three weeks my corn was fa rther ad-
vanced than any ncar mi-; and it continued
of the finest color, and was the best filled of
any I saw through the season. It was cut
tip and removed from the field on the first
of September, and when husked, turned out
the least soft corn that I ever had. in propor-
tion to the good corn. Ican attribute this
quick and good growth to nothing but the
Poudrette; as the land was not well ,tilled,_
the corn only had one good hoeing after
it came up; the cttltivator was run through
it twice.
On Grass, as .1 top dressing, I can speak
in the highest terms of Poudrette. Being
anxious to have some parts of a new garden
soon in sword, I put some loam, gravel and
pant earth on a piece‘ of ‘swamp ground
walks, and sowed grass seed in October. I
could see the grass fairly tip before the snow
came in Dccember—but in March, scarcely
any appearance ofgrass, or root was visible.
I had the ground raked over, and Poudrétte
Spread lightly over it, and then about half
the usual quantity of cloversecd sowed on
it. The effect was truly astonishing; for
in June it was cut, again in August, and at-
so soire feed in October; and until the snow
of the 5th instant it remained beautifully
green. A small space, where a shovel full
of the Poudrette was dropped by accident,
and not very well gathered up, grew so lux-
uriantly as to be at once perceived on enter-
ing the garden. _
For Tmvzips‘, I know Poudrette to be al-'
most a certain guard against the fly. Mine,
