At this place our friends found an end to their road. After waiting several days for , conveyance home, and not sueceed.ng, they went on board a British man of war, and went south, or from 200 to 30(1 miles to Chagres. Here again they were detained with miserable accoommodations, until they obtained a passage on a steam propeller. They were 1 1 1 dava from San Francweo to BrookviPe.

It is due to themselves and Mr. Tarker thi he again enter the field, by the anammons and spontaneous wish cf the people, witlmnt even the Intervention of a Convention. It is known In that District, and it should be known to tb almost verge of the L'nion. that his defeat was not owing to any lack of talent and energy on hi part, or want of confidence in blm hv the wings, oni oy a peculiar and unnatural combi nation of unclean spir.ts, which can scarcely le bronght to operate egain.

By Mr Brown of Shelby: against the expediency of exempting from taxation all persons engaged in wars of the United States from the close of the Revolutionary war to -the close of the last war with Great Britain; report concurred in. By Mr Williamson; against the expediency of altering the present law relative to a change of venue in criminal cases, so as to allow the u.rcun courts to permit such change in their discretion. Mr Damont hoped the report of the committee would not be concurred In. As the law now is, he said, many criminals escaped punishment, by making application for change of venjne, simply for the purpose of avoiding a trial I when they find that the witnesses are all pres- ! ent. This is especially the case, when the witnesses reside some distance from the place of ! trial . The delays, thus produced, occasion the witnesses to refuse to appear after their first attendance, end then the criminal escapes. He mentioned instances in which evident per jury had been resorted to, gt a change, and tha ! Conrt had to irrant It. nllbnnnh tha T. Ln. 1 hat not one word of troth had been sworn to. !
