MR. SMITH OF INDIANA. Mr. Caleb B. Smith, of Indiana, occupied the morning hour yesterdiy, in repiy of Mr. Ratbburn, of New York, and Mr. Kennedy, of Indiana, upon the Rhode Island question. Mr. Smith came to Washington preceded by a reputation of abilities and orilorial powers of no common order. His speech yesterday fully sustained this reputation. Mr. S. Said he did not subscribe to the doctrine of vox populi tux Dei. He did not believe the voice of the peo
ple, was at ull times the voice of God. He did
not believe in the doctrine lhat the people can do no wrong, any more than he did in the doctrine that the king can do no wrong. The doctrine that the people have a right to do whatever they please, and whatever they do is right, would lead to wild and lawlets anarchy. It had been said that the Dorritcs were only
exercising the right which the God of Nature
gave them. Their natural right had been spoken of. He inquired what these natural rights were, and where they were to be limited? to
what class of persons? to whites? do you exclude blacks from these natural wrights? by no means; then, according to the doctrine of the advocates of the Dorr insurrection, the negroes of Virginia, South Carolina, and other Southern States, have a right to assemble and alter
the constitution of the State in which they
reside.
He wished to know why the people of
little that in New York &c. von have not had
sufficient notice or this important movement, j Rhode Island were to be confined to any geo-

I think it certain that Tappan and Allen of Ohio, and Buchanan and Sturgeon will go for
it, as the only condition upon which the Wes

parental governing power, and should deter
mine to have a legislature, governor &c, of
their own? By the natural right which has
been claimed for the people they would have
the right to do this.
Mr.S. illustrated this subject by reference to
the events of the French Revolution. The masses who swept every thing before them in Paris, who caused the streets to run with the blood of theii fellow beings, claimed a natural right to commit these enormities. Robespierre, Danton, Marat, and other Jackobins,
preached thesamedoctrine about natural rights
that we have heard in this Hall. From the
wild fancy of those who preached the doctriue,
France took refuge under the iron rule of a Military Chieftain. Mr. S. said the Mormons entertained a doctrine somewhat congenial with this: they resolved that the earth and
the fullness thereorbelongcd to ihe saints; they
resolved that they were the saints; ergo, the
earth belonged to them.
Mr. S. spoke or the member rrom N. H, (Mr.
Burke) having brought this "subject into the House: he thought he might find ample employment in teforming the Constitution or his own Slate. She was considered Democratic according to the strict nominations of the day.
He then went into an examination of the Con
stitution of New Hampshire, which requires o large property qttalifica' ion to be either a Rep
resentative, a Senator, or Governor of lhat State.
He next showed Mr. Van Burcn's opinions
upon the right of suffrage, as impressed upon
the records of the country, and spread upon
the Journals of the Convention which amend
ed the Constitution of the State of New York.
Mr. S. read seteral extracts Trom the Journal or the Convention, giving Mr. Van Buren's votes and opinions as there given and expressed. These were opposed to universal suf
frage, and in favor or negroes voting who had propetiy or the value or $250. Washington

Xot so mnch Difference, after all. In a speech made by Mr. Cooper in Harrisburgh, on Wednesday eveniug.at a nieeimg to respond to the notion? of Gen. Markle for Governor, he
remarked, among many other good things, lhat there is no great difference, after all, between Parson Muhlenberg and Gen. Markle. They both received commissions to fight ihe enemy. The Parson battled against the evil one, the common enemy of mankind, and the General against the Indians, the enemy of his country.
The only difference is, that while the General
whipt the Indians. Old Nick whipped the Parson, since which time he has been fighting

We copy from the Boston Courier: The Senate was indebted yesterday fora hearty laugh to the gentleman who had previously informed members that Louis Plullippo was a son of Napoleon; Dr. Gardner of Bristol, the Chairman of the Committee on Education, was
tins erudite individual. In the course of the debate upon the ajrirultural Resolutions which he had introduced, the subject of tin duty up
on imported tni tonp was brought into notice, and Dr. Gardner stated that the duty on this article was fifty rents per pound. He was corrected by several Senators, and iimong others by Mr. L-vennore of Middlesex, who stated that the duty on the article was fifty cents a barrel. Dr. Oarduer was highly iacensed at this contradiction, and nppeal to the tariff itself, from which he quoted the provision establishing the duty on soft soap at ."!) cts. per Lhl. Now," said the Doctor, "if bbl. does not mean pound, I will thank some gentlcmean to tell me xchat it doetmean!'

scriber, says the New York Sun, who has for a long time been afflicted with consumption
and its attendant evils, informs us that as an
experiment he mixed one part of Chloride of
Iodine with six parts of water, and kept it in
his bed room, in a paitly covered dish, for
fortnight during which time his health has
been so sensibly improved that he attributes it to the Iodine, and desires us to give publicity to the fact.
Cheap boarding. There is a great strife
among the boarding houses in New Orleans,
which shall do the thing the cheapest. The Picayune tells a story of a young fellow who applied at one of these establishments to know the price of boarding. "Do you mean board
without lodgings?" inquired the landlady.

"Yes, madam." '-Fifty cents per week is our
regular price, sir." "Well that's cheap enough at all events. Do you give your boarders
much of a variety?" "Yes sir, something of a variety we give them dried apples for breakfast, warm water for dinner, and let Urn .svilf
