CoRRESPOJiDEXCC OF THE U. S. G AfcETTE. Washington, Dec. 29, 1835. V e had a very interesting scene in the Senate to-day. Mr. Clay tame into the chamber about a half an hour before the commencement of business, in deep mourning, and evidently under the influence of deep affliction. Every Senator present came uo in
turn, and tendered to him that mute yet eloquent condolence which is expressed by the squeeze of the hand, and -n low and simple inquiry as to the state of his health; and every Senator as he came into the room, w ith
two or three exceptions, tendered to him the same respectful and sympathetic greeting. Ever and anon, an unbidden and rebiiious tear glistened in his eye-lash for a moment, and then stole down his check, and he would wipe away with his hand. After some of the morning business had been disposed of he rose to
introduce lus land bill, according to the notice which Mr. Crittenden cave yesterday.
fhe galleries were crowded, and every eve
looked down upon him: and the eve of every
Senator also arrested upon him. There was
a deep stillness over all the chamber; not a
rustile of a paper was heard not a cough not a breath. He commenced in a tone which
betrayed the inward struggle, for an instant, and then recovered its firm and temperate harmony. "I have come," said he, into the
Senate chamber this morning, worn down by
an affliction the severest I have experienced from the hand of Heaven, w hich, however it
may be my duty,it is hardly in the power of
my philosophy, to support. lie wiped away the obtrusive tear, and proceeded in a strain

LEGISLATIVE. On yesterday morning. Mr. Evans. Chair
man of the committee of Canals and Internal
Improvements, reported a bill providing fora general system of internal improvement?, a
iew oi me prominent provisions of which we give from memory, not having an apportunity
iu examine me bill. Jt provides for the commencement and prosecution of the White Water Canal from a point as high alwve the crossing of (lie National Road as possible to the
vmiio river, and also lor the connection of thai
Canal, by a Canal if practicable, and if not
ty a Kail Koad, with the Central or White river Canal for which the sum of 1,100.000 is appropriated. It provides for the White river Canal by the way of Indianapolis and various other points to Evansville on the
Ulno river for which the sum of 3,500,000 is appropriated. It provides for the continuation of the Wabash and Erie Canal by Terre Haute, to be connected with the Central
Canal at some convenient point for which the sum of 1,300,000 is appropriated. It
provides for a Rail Road from Madison In
way of Indianapolis and Crawfordsville to Lafayette for which the sum of 1,300.000 is appropriated. It provides for a Rail Road
if practicable, and if not for a turnpike road, from Jefferson ville through various intermediate points to Crawfordsville forwhich 1.-
300,000 are appropriated. It provides for a turnpike road from New-Albany through va
rious intermediate points to incennes for
which the sum of 1,150,000 is appropriated. It appropriates the sum of 50,000 for the re
moval ol obstructions in the Wabash river be
uation of our liberties and privileges depended j
upon the success ol Martin Van Buren. In
the conclusion of his speech he expressed, in strong terms, his indignation at the idea of the
people bringing out so many candidates for the Presidency, by which the election might
possibly be brought into the House of Representatives. We had previously supposed, (as a respectable farmer observed to us on
hearing this burst of indignation) that in this
land ol Ireedomand equality every individual
no constitutionally ineligible, had a right to proffer his services for any station and that the people I'ad a right to nominate and support whom they ph ased. The principal' oart of the first day, after the

PUBLIC MEETING. Fairfield, Dec. 30th. 1S35. Agreeably to previous notice, a number of the citizens of the Town of Fairfield and vicinity, impressed with a belief that the Excessive Retailing and use of ardent spirits are productive of many pernicious, deplorable consequences calculated to distroy the peace, happiness and prosperity, not only of individuals and Families, but of the community in General, met in the Town of Fairfield, at the school house therein, on the Evening of the 30th, of December, 135, forthe purpose of devising some means calculated to suppress the same ly forming themselves into a society, and by Example and pursuasive admonitions, to use their influence in arresting the awful consequences which must inevitably follow from excessive retailing and excessive use of ardent spirits.

"People ' .4Jrocae," Centreville, Indiana has

It is, by some, considered uncourteous to speak
thus of our coiemporaries. Rut whether it is un
courteous or not, it has nothing lo do w ith our pur
pose. When a new paper is commenced or enlar
ged, it is our duty and privilege, if we notice it at
H, to speak honestly of its m crils or its demerits. This course, has sometimes, called down upon our head the vengeance of the conductorsof such papers. A short time since we spoke in not very flattering terms of the " T'lsiVor" which had just commenced n Jennings Co. in this State. The editors, as a
natter of course, scratched their empty noggins for several weeks, for a black list of epithets to puph
at us: Now, about this we presume they think we
re in a wonderful hobble. But we assure them
that their abuse does not make us think any more
or any less of their sheet. If. they, or any other
person, has any objection to the appearance or con
'ents, of the American, they have a right to express
their opinions. And we will enjoy ours.

VAN BUREN CONVENTION. This Convention assembled at the Stale House on Friday morning last and continued in session till 2 or 3 o'clock on Saturday, the House of Representatives having adiourned
and tendered them the use of their Hall for that purpose. The Convention was quite large, and was increased greatly by the adoption of a resolution receiving as delegates all
the members of both IJranches of the General Assembly favorable to Mr. Van Buren, togeth
er with all persons w ho had been members of any previous Jackson or Van llurcn Conven
tion, den. Samuel JWilroy was temporarily called to the Chair, on taking which he made
a speech of which a considerable portion con
sisted of the words "Democrat"' and "Demo
cratic.' He spoke, among oilier things, of
the satisfaction with which the Baltimore
nomination was received, and declared that it was favorably responded to by the rcholepeople of Indiana! ! Thomas I. Brou-n and Jesse Jack
son, Esqrs. acting as secretalies.thc Delegates were called forward and their names taken
down. After which a committee was appoin
ted to nominate officers of the Convention &c,
who, after retiring a few minutes, reported a
list, which was unanimously concurred in by the Convention. We have not a list of the officers, and therefore will not pretend to give them. Mr. JV. B. Palmer, Treasurerof State, was chosen President, and Messrs. Geo. Boone
Elihu Sloul, Col. Casey, and some four or five gentlemen Vice Presidents. Mr. Palmrr.on
taking the Chair, made a speech of considera
ble length, in which his usual apparently con
dilatory and liberal deportment vanished, and
he stood lorth as an ultra, a thorough-going and uncompromising parly man. He exhort
cd the members lo vigilance, and from his ad
dress it might be supposed that he considered
inrr.
for President in 1812 against Mr. Madison,
but contends that Mr. Clinton was the demo-' cralie candidate. It attempts to clear Mr.
an Liuren Irom the infamy which his instructions to Mr. M"Lane (Minister to England) is calculated to fix upon him by throwing the re-
sponsilnhfy upon President Jackson. It ex
cuses Mr. Van Buren.s vote against the exten
sion of the Cumberland Road against the
graduation of the price of public lands -a-gainst ceding the lands lo the slates in which
they lie, &C. &c. by declaring him at that time thc Representative of Njw York, and
bound to represent her local interests which are adverse to those of Indiana. Great labor is bestowed in the Address in endeavoring to disparage thc character of Gen. Harrison, who is represented as a federalist, as having done nothing for thc cause ofhis country, as
being couardly, as being a tool in the hands of
a "motley and desperate faction to resuscitate the United States' Bank and to over
turn "democratic principles, as endeavoring
to build up a character lor skill and bravery on the exploits ofothe men, as being in every
lespect despicable and detestable. hen
the author would utter an artful slander upon the character of Gen. Harrison, he would pause and look smart, indicating that it was a good time lo applaud him. The biographv
of Col. Johnson was prepared by another
gentleman, and occupied but two or three
paragraphs in the Address. He was despatch . 1 1 1
ed wun great brevity.
The piquancy of this Address was doubt
less much increased by the fact (as we are in
formed) that at the time of writing it and at
the time of reading it, a petition was incircu
