We trust what we said in our last num ber, under this head, will be sufficient to convince every impartial person that, when oar Canal is completed, the income which will be derived from it, if properly applied, will be sufficient to liquidate our State debt in a very short period of time: This one consideration, alone, should be all-powerful "with members of Congress, and induce them at once to cast their votes in favor of an appropriation of land for the completion of the Canal to Evansville. The deep disgrace into which we we have fallen with other nations, in regard to our monetary affairs, demands and should receive, the most serious attention of our national representatives, and when a measure is proposed which will enable one State to redeem her credit, it should be adopted without the slightest hesitation. The twenty sis States form but one family, and stand be fore the world as one nation -when dishonor rests upon one, it effects" the character of all, and all are alike interested that it should be wiped out. When aspersions are' cast upon the American character abroad, which ae not founded in truth, they can be disregarded or held in contempt; but, when they are sustained by undeniable facts, they cling to our name like a brand upon a culprit's brow. The dark stain which tarnishes our credit, by the failure of so many States to meet their engagements, is somewhat of this natnre, and must be galling in the extreme to every lover of his country that our otherwise fair fame should be cleansed of this "damned spot," must be the devout aspiration "of us all. Several plans have been agitated to effect co desirable an object, but insuperable objections seem to attend each of them; among others it has been proposed that the general government should assume the debts of all the Stales, but the constitutionality of this measure is doubted by many, and the policy of it may well be questioned, for it is to be feared that it might be the cause of inducing States to rush again into the same headlong career of wild expenditure, relying up on the same source for relief. But when the arm of the general government, can be ex tended to raise up from its depressed condi ' tion any one of the States, by constitutional means, by means which would not add a single grajn to the burdens of any other State, rior take from the resources of the said gov ernment more than would be doubly paid back in another formwhen this can be done, we should suppose that every member of Congress, so far from requiring solicitation, would, by one spontaneous impulse, rush for ward to the rescue with all the ardour and alacrity of patriots on the field of battle, when called upon to save an important position from overwhelming defeat, disgrace, and ru Indiana, in a great measure, is peopled by farmsr3 owning but a small portion of land, which they cultivate with their own hands; "and aftef maintaining themselves and famiilles, they find it a bard matter to raise money enough to pay their State and eounty taxesi - The great bulk of the population is of tills class, and, although they ardently - wish to see the State debt paid off, and would Avillingly contribute to do so, were it in their power, yet a long series of years must elapse before much CGuld be expected from them, even to assist in paying the interest. To tax' them for this purpose is out of the question, at least for many years, for they are not in a situation to bear heavy taxation, and, indeed, would resist it to a man, because self preservation is the first law of nature Theyr however, abhor . repudiation, and are all anxious lb see the Canal completed,, believing' that, by the impulse it would give to business of every description, the State might be enabled lb pay the interest of the debt; but none f them have been so sanguine as tr imagine that this same Canal would cnO r able Indiana to pay the debt itself. When they gee it demonstrated by calculation, based upon what the Canal is even now doin", that such will undoubtedly be the case, what must they think of the general governjiient, yybat must the world think of that gov

ernment, should it refuse its aid in erasing this blistering stain from our national character? We almost imagine we see our creditors,

"hors'd upon the sightless couriers of the air," proclaiming the damning fact to every quarter of the globe, that we have the means of paying our debt and would not. ' When we consider the immense importance it would be to the honor of the whole Union, and the great moral effect it would produce, were even one delinquent State enabled to assume the proud attitude of standing before its creditors unabashed, we should suppose that every member of Con gress would weigh all the vecant lands in the country but as dust in the balance ;and would not hesitate a moment in granting, if neces sary,even the whole un-entered lands in Indiana to accomplish an object that would elevate us so much in the eyes of every good, of every honest man. There should be no half - way measures' in this matter these measures always miss their aim let the grant be such as will complete the work at once, and we will then start forward in a ca reer which we doubt not will lead to the consummation of all we anticipate, and place Indiana in a position of which her sister States will have no cause to be ashamed. Every consideration that is dear to man, hon or, honesty, love of country, love of poster ity, our fair fame abroad, our position among the nations of the earth, all, "like angels trumpet tongued," demand that the Amer ican name should cease to be a bye-word and a scoff throughout the world. CONGRESS. We find the following proceedings of the House of Representatives on the 10th hist., in the Globe. They refer to the grant of lands asked for, for the completion of the Wa bash and Ohio Canal. ' The Speaker called for reports from the Committee on Public Lands. ' ' Mr. McClernand, from that commute ,re ported back to the House a variety of me morials on the subject of the enlargement of the Wabash and Erie canal, from whose consideration he moved that the committee be discharged, and that they be . laid upon the table. '- . V Mr. Houston requested the gentleman to allow them to go to the Committee of the Whole, having in charge a bill on that sub ject. - Mr. Owen moved their reference to a Se lect Committee of five members. " Some conversation and explanations en sued, in which Mr. SEMPLE,Mr. McClernand Mr. Owen, Mr. J. W. Wrigiit, and others took part. - Mr. McClernand at length intimated that hewa3 willing to withdraw the motion to lay on the table at the request of Mr. Sample, to give thafgentleman an oppertunity to make some stateme nls on this subject, on condition that he would renew it. , . ' : Mr.' Hoakins rose to a question of order. The gentleman had made his motion as part of his report from the Committee on Public Lands, and therefore he had no control of if. ' Mr. Adams called for a division of the ques tion; and, being divided, the question was first taken on discharging the committee from the further consideration of the memorials. Upon the next branch of the resolution viz: to lay the memorials upon the table, a division was called,and the votes being count ed by the Speaker, there were 51 in the af firmative, and 37 in the negative -no quo rum voting.. Tellers were then demanded and ordered Messrs. Grinnel and C.Johnson were appoint ed, who reported 62 veas and 46 nays be ing less than a quorum. A second count was demanded, and there were yeas 60, nays 66. : The motion to lay on the table was neg atived. ' Mr. Owen moved that so many of the memorials reported back from the Commit tee on Public Lands as referred to a grant of lands for the extension of the Wabash and Erie canal to Evansville, bereferred toa se lect committee of five.' ' Mr. O said he would not, on this occa sion, detain the House over five minutes. He knew well, that on local matters such as this, and especially on a mere question reference, the House would be impatient un der anv lenghthened remarks. Yet this be would say : that the subject embraced in the memorials which he had moved to have referred to a select committee,' was one of very deep interest to a large portion - of the State of Indiana, and which formed the subject of a joint resolution of that State at the last session of her legislature. The object was to obtain a grant of lands in raid of the completion of the Wabash and Erie canal to Evansville. But, in regard to this matter, there were two interests two rival interest in the State; the one in favor of completing the national thoroughfare from the canal to the Ohio, by way of the river j Wabash; the other in favor of completing it by way of the canal, as inthese memorials proposed. Of these two.interests, the one (the river interest) had a bill in the House; the other

(the canal interest) had not been able to ob

lain a bill from a standing committee. For that reason, he (Sir. O.) proposed that the canal memorials should go to a select com mittee. He would - not now - trouble - the louse with any argument as to the merit of either; this was not the proper time for such argument. All he asked (and that he did ask as a matter of common justice) was, that, as the one interest had a bill in the louse,'the other should be permitted to have one also. If, when the bills came up, the House decided in favor of the river bill, in preference to the canal, so be it; the friends of the canal would acquiesce, but they want ed fair play. The gentleman from Illinios Mr. McClernand has said that the minori ty on the committee on Public Lands has been suffered to make a report. That was true. " But the gentleman well knew that no minority of a committee could report a bill ; and it was a bill, not a mere report, the friends of the canal wanted. The only mode in which they could obtain this, was through aselect committee; and that, he trusted, would not be refused to them. On thi3 motion Mr. Hudson called for the yeas and nays. They were not ordered. The vote being counted by the Speaker, there were 68 yeas, and 33 nays not a quorum. -, ' ' Tellers were appointed, and having count ed the votes, they reported 77 in the affirm ative, and 40 in the negative. The motion was agreed to. SIX DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE. By the arrival at New York of the packet ship Sheridan, we have advices from Europe six days later than those previously receiv ed. The Grand BianqueJ, to be given at Con vent Garden Theatre, in honor of Mr. O' Connell, was to come off on the 12th, and the arrangements, it is said, were on a very scale. , " " ' "". 1 ' : On the 7th there was another meeting of the Anti-Corn League at Convent Garden Theratre. The doors were opened shortly after six o'clock and in ten minutes after wards the building was crammed in every part. . 1 he Larl ot Zetland had been chosen Grand Master of Masons of the United Grand Lodge of England. , The London Sun of the 8th tbu3 men tions the ' triumphant reception of Daniel O'Connell in Brimingbam, whither he went from London, to be present at a dinner tend ed to him by the citizens of that 4onm.- rj "Enthusiastic a3 was Mr. O'Connell's re-1 ception by the people during his late visit to the metropolis, it was equalled, if not sur passed, by the welcome he received yester day, at Brimingbam, all fclasses of whose population vied with each other in their en deavors to do him honor. No sooner did he make his appearance in the Town Hall, which was crammed to " suffocation, than shout after shout of acclamation a rose from the immense assembly; and it was full ten minutes before anything like order could be restored. The same enthusiastic applause was repealed when the honorable and learned gentlemen rose to speak, but no sooner had the first few words dropped from his lips, than the most profound silence prevailed, and he was listened to, throughout his animated appeal on behalf of Ireland, with a respectful attention that must have been more flattering to his feelings than even the deafening storm of approbation with which he had been previously greeted. Ilisspeech was well worthy of this marked and significant attention, for though by no means de,ficicient in vigor, where vigor was requisite, it characteristics were its moderation its manly unaffected candor its firm, but corteous and conciliatory tone and, above all, its force, clearness and ' precision of argu ment. There was no display of rhetorical ar-tifice-f no attempt at exaggeration ihe reasoning was in no instance pushed beyond the limit3 of good sense nothing was omitted that was necessary to make out a strong case of Irish misgovernment by the Tories and the consequence of uniform harmony and evenness of tone was, that the speaker made as many proselytes to the cause of his country, as there were listeners in the Hall." The same paper adds: We hear from the very best authority that the members of the late Administration are deeply interested in, and delight at, the success of the O'Connel dinner, to' take place "at Convent Garderl Theatre on Tuesday next. " ::;:'' Great Whig Meeting in New York. There was a great Whig gathering in New York, on the anniversary of the birth day of Henrv Clay. .Tha spacious building in which it was held was crowded in every nook and corner, and there rfor hours, the heart of this immense assemblage, swayed alternately by poetry, by music, and by. eloquence in all its moods, beat high and strong for Henry Clay. . , It was a gathering such as a great cause, &, I a great name, can alone bring and keep to gether, and is the suye prelude of victory.

THE TARIFF A CLAY SONG NOM INATIONS SENATOR NILES. ; Washington, April 9, 1841. j I have several times expressed the opin ion that the present tariff law would neither be repealed nor materially altered during the present session of Congress. The pro ceedings in both houses, to-day, tend greatly to strengthen that opinion. .Many were apprehensive that tlie Whig Senators from the Southern States, would go for repealing the Act of 1842, and would support tie bill recently reported from the committee of Ways and Means, which greatlj reduces the duties and entirely destroys the protective character of the measure. Mr. Berrien, a Whig Senator from Georgia, to-day removed all these doubts, by making a speech in favor of the present law, and in opposition to its repeal. It is not unfair to presume that hia Own courso on this subject is a safe index to the feelings of the Whig party generally in the South, in reference to it; and if so, it may be considered settled that the act of 1842 which has so greatly benefitted the country, will not be interfered with, at least during this session of Congress. There now begins to be some doubt about the passage of the bill reported by Mr. McKay, the chairman of the Locofoco Committee of Ways and Means, even-by the House itself. The recent special election in Penn sylvania, and that in Connecticut, which turned mainly on the issue that was made upon the Tariff question, together with the floods of Tariff petitions that are daily pouring into the House, have considerably em barrassed many of the Locofocos, who, no doubt, had made up their minds to go for the "new bill of abominations." They eyjdentiy begin to waver, and I would not be at all surprised, when the crisis comes on, if it should be found that the influence of the drill officers of the party was insufficient to induce them to vote for it. For two weeks past, to-day has been looked forward to as the time , when the bill would be taken up and the deba;e upon it commenced. But when a motion was made to go into com mitteeofthe whole, for the purpose of ta king it up, a majority voted against the prop osition. All tL is is significant of the feel ing of the House upon the subject general ly, and renders the fate of the bill even in that body uncertain. ' ' . An incident occurred to-day in the House, which proves how much' the Locofocos are annoyed at the enthusiasm, with which the Whigs are about to enter upon the Presiden tial oaxxipaigo TLifJy aniJjttwf to wlino the cheerful spirits and hilirity displayed by their opponentSj and the singing of a good Clav song is death to them. " A bill was under consideration making appropriations for certain Harbors and Rivers, when Mr.Payne of Alabama, a Locofoco, gave the House a second edition of the political speech he made one day last week.- In the course 'of his remarks he said the Whig party did not intend to carry the election by discussing important principles, but by singing ' songs He endeavored to ridicule them, on account of the practice that was common among the party, of singing these unmeaning songs (as he called themV on all occasions. ' In order -t f . to let the House see what sort of means they relied upon, to elect their candidate,-he would get the Clerk to read one of the songs He accordingly sent to the Clerk's desk a copy of the Clay SoDgster, and marked one of the most animating songs in it to be read. It wa3 the one headed "Our Candidate," and sung to the hurrah tune.. The Clerk commenced reading, when Drv Duncan charged him to give it the proper emphasis, and to observe the poetical measure. " The locofocos were all grinning with delight, at the fun that was anticipated, and were pre paring to enjoy the mortification they had no doubt the' Whigs : would display.' As the Clerk went on, the sentiments of the song and the recollection of the result of the election in Pennsylvania and Connecticut, put the whigs in the best humor ' possible. And when he came to the last verse, which begins "Now boysythree cheers for Harry CZay," they became perfectly electrified, and when the Clerk repeated the chorus which follows this line,' and which runs thus, tlhur rah! hurrah! ! hurrah! ! " they could contain theniselves no longer, and many of them joined in most heartily, '"hurrah! hurrah!! hurrah!!!" Tap, tap," went the Speaker's hammer, and "order," "order," was called out. " The Clerk then finished the verse, the whole of which is in these words : ' 1 - Now boys, three cheers for Harry Clay Hurrah, hurrah, hurrah, " With him we're sure to win the day, Hurrah, hurrah, hurrah, Our President, if he's alive, He's bound to be in forty-five, - Hurrah, hurrah, hurrah, hurrah, Hurrah, .hurrah, hurrah! At the conclusion of the song, the Whigs became still more excited, and they again joined in the chorus, and gave farther vent to their feeliug by clapping their . hands. The Speaker again called to order., and the Locofocos found they hand not only taken altogether the wrong track, but had "bark'd

up the wrong tree." The mortification was on their own side, and the fun and merriment all on the side of the Whigs. - The scene

was amusing beyond discription. Mr. Payne then went on with his speech, and spoke out his hour. The Senate to-day confirmed unanimous ly the nomination of Mr. King, from Alabama as Minister to France. Every body was taken completely by surprise at this nomi nation, no one having any idea it wa3 to be sent in., '. All are equally at fault to know the motive for it. Could it have been to prevent Mr. King from becoming a candidate for the Vice Presidency, on the Van Buren ticket, and thus to get rid of his influence in the South in the Presidentiil campaign. The nomination of Gov. Shannon as Minister to Mexico, was also confirmed; and also Thomas Harris, of Pennsylvania, Chief of the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery, and Robert T. Barry, to be a Surgeon in the Navy. . : . ' . Auother exhibition has been made of Sen ator Niles front- Connecticut. He wa3 con ducted into one of the rooms in the Capitol to-day, but he cannot be induced, as yet, to take his seat in the Senate. No one can look upon him for a moment without being pained at his physical and mental prostration. His keepers ought to take him back to the assylum whence he came. He needs entire repose and tranquility. Z. ANECDOTE OF MR. CLAY. The following anecdote of Henry Clay, so eminently characteristic of the man, and so honorable to the statesman, we have up on the authority of a distinguished Senator of the U, S. We give it as nearly as we are able in the language in which vb had it from the lips of the Hon. Senator himself. it was during the last session of Mr. Clay's service in the Senate that session during which the nomination of Edward Everett, as minister to England, . was confirmed. It will be remembered that, for a number of weeks after the nomination of Mr. Everett, great suspense andjanxiety were felt throughout the country, as to the course which the Senate might lake upon the question of his confirmation. The Southern members, or at least a portion of them, demanded his re,jeclion, on the ground of his having expressed sentiments upon the subject of Abolition, highly offensive to the South, and such as the South, was called upon, both di rectly and indirectly, to rebuke and condemn. Matters stood thus, when at the close, or near the close, of one of the ExecafiTcacsstoiis uf tire Dcnatc, on a long sum mer's day, Mr. Clay had left his seat,and taking up his broad brimmed straw hat which he was accustomed to wear in the warm sea son, began walking backward and forward near the door of the Senate, expecting eve ry, moment that an adjournment would take place. Just then a Senator from the South, whose name the gentleman to whom we are indebted for these, facts did not feel himself at liberty to mention, rose in his place, and called the attention of the Senate to a pub lished correspondence which he held in his hand, between Mr. Everett and certain abo litionists, who had addressed to him a series of questions touching the subject of slavery The correspondence had taken place at a lime when, if we recollect rightly, Mr. Everett was candidate for Governor of Massachu setts. , . - , - The language used by Mr. Everett, said the narrator, was strong, stronger than we of- should consider to have been justifi able. The Senator having read the correspondence, made it the text of a , strong de nunciatory speech against Mr. Everett,earnestly and vehemently appealing to the representatives of the Southern interests and institutions of that body, to such dangerous sentiments, by rejecting the nomination of the man by whom the were put forth. This correspondence, together with the speech of the Senator who brought it forward, arrested the attention of the whole Seuate and awa kened new and strong apprehensions among the friends of Mr. Everett, as to the fate of his nomination.: Soon after the Senator in question had risen from his seat and commenced speaking, Mr. Clay was observed to pause in his walk to and fro, and as the Senator from the South proceeded in his speech, he (Mr. C.) became, evidently, more and more interested, till, at length, he gradually returned to his accustomed seat, and was standing by it when the gentleman who was occupying the floor finished his speech with the folowing emphatic language : "If under the circumstances, Mr. President, the Sen ate shall confirm the nomination of Mr. Ev erett, I shall ' consider the Union virtually dissolved." ! 1 "And I say, sir," said Mr. Clay, instantly taking up the words of the honorable Senator,"that if this Senate, sitting on the nomi nation of Mr. Everett, or any other man as a Minister to a foreign court, shall take upon itself to reject that nomination, on the ground that the person nominated has expressed to his neighbors and fellow-citizens of the Slate to which he belongs, sentiments not in accordance with our own, yet in no way

impeaching his character or affecting hf 1

qualifications; then,-sir,-said Mr Clay, el- j evating himself to his full height antf raising his voice to that Clarion-like tone of impassioned eloquence for which he above all living men, is so justly distinguished,--"then, sir, I tell the honorable .gentleman and the Senate THAT WE HAVE NO, LONGER ANY UNION TO .CIS SOLVE!' Proceeding from this point, MC. poured forth, for the space of about tev-minutes, the most eloquent speech I. ever: heard from him in all my life. . And that speech," said the gentleman from whbrm these facts were derived, s "settled the "question of Mr. Everett's nomination." Norwich Courier., V . '. ANNEXATION OF , TEXAS. We received by Monday night's mail a let3 ter, from our representative in I CongTes announcing that the Treaty 'annexing; Texas to the United States was on the 12th instsigned by the President, and', would be jaibmitted to the Senate as soon as the accom-, panying documents could be-be prepared. As regards the terms on which It is prr posed to admit Texas into the Union, various rumors are afloat; says v the ... Cincinnati Gazette. The following seem to be gener ally admited:,. . ,.;..' -A---; 1. Assumption by the United Stater of the debt of Texas -while Texas is to keep her lands to herself!!! - , ..;.,,... 2. The incorporation of the Army and Navy of Texas to that of the United States!! 3. Texas to have immediately two Representatives in the "House of Representatives!!! ' -'.' '- .--''' Most reasonable terms these! Modest and apggtpriale! :' We wonder where 13 the man, or the press besides the Madisoniaa which dares defend them. 4 Why, when' it was proposed to pay off the debts of the States outof the proceeds of the public lands the Locos, North and;- South, protested against any such, scheme, "as. an open plundering" of the treasure of the countiy ! Yet when it is proposed ' to assume the debts of Texas, amounting to millions of dollars,, and to let her keep her lands, they are silent as the grave. What consitency! What a beautiful display of principle! . Can any porl rion of the people be hoodwinked into the support of such a scheme, or of the men who defend, or refuse to denounce it?., It would be equal to the folly of the farmer who sold his pasture ground to buy his horse. . FROM WASHINGTON - ' 1 The following account of present doing at Washington, says the Baltimore Patriot, is from one who is in a position to be well advised of what is going on behind the scenes: Mr. Calhoun is beginning to provide for Lis friends. I think you, have mentioned that Mr. Cralle, who was the editor of the Merchant a paper which Duff Green attempted to establish once in Baltimore has been appointed to the joffice of Chief Clerk in the Stale Department, in place of Mr. Derrick, who goes down a peg. t As this appointment of Mr. Cralle crowded off Dr. Martin, the former chief Clerk who is a Calhoun man,' -and had good reason for supposing he would be rostored another place has been foucd for him, and he was - to-day nominated as Secretary to the French mission. Dr; Mar-: tin is a scholar, is an excellent writer, - and will be most acceptable, I should . snppose to Mr. King in hh mission to the ! Court of St. Cloud. , . ' -i The Story that Robert Tyler was to be' appointed postmaster at Philadelphia is ' iu. correct.,; - Mr. R. T.. has contradicted the re-.; port himself, and says he will "take no offices from his father." As Robert's removal to Philadelphia vacated the office of Secretary j to the President to sign laud patents, "John, the younger" who is called "the philosopher," in contradiction to Robert "the poetMi has been appointed to the "place, and today entered upon its duties. , ' There is to be a general "hauling over the I coals" of the custom-house officers. . You see that Mr.Curlis,of New York who'neve tailed m his support ot lylerism, and who. therefore merits the fate that has overtaken -- him has been superseded superseded.-CC' in a manner Very offensive to him, but in that way which only John Tyler can strike down d friend. Others- ri the New York customhouse are to follow. . The sword which has hung over that house by a'single Lair, for a,! long time, will be cut early in the, coming. week or the 1 resident will change . Ins " mind.- v.. v',' ' '" ' ' i ' ; , : , .
