A friend of ours who lately happened in at a country Lyceum, in NewEngland, give us the following account of a speech of one of the members. The subject of debate was, the Temperance Societies. Said he: Mr. President I don't for my own part, think no great of the temperance Societies, a3 they call 'err. for why? they don't come up to my mark. Now they condemn some thing?, and other some they don't. For my part Pm in favor of excluding the acids altogether not only rum, brandy, gin, and whiskey, but wine also Pd exclude 'em altogether. Now as to your Temperance Societies, they act just like a farmer that builds one fence round his taters, and another round his turnips, and another round his carrits, and another round his watermillions, and another round his parsnips, and so on, but leaves his corn without any fence. From which I infer, Mr. President" "That people will get corn-cd" interrupted a wag. "I beg 1 may not be intercepted," said the orator. Order was restored, and he thus proceeded: "Wherefore it appears to me very plain, Mr. President, that the Temper ance Societies are not so comprehensive as they had ought to be. They fence round the rum, the brandy, the gin, and the whiskey, but leave the wine out. Now this is not my princi ple; I'd have the wine fenced in too. It is mere partiality to deny rum, bran dy, and such like acids, and leave the people to get slewed on wine. V herelore Mr. President, I infer that acids of every kind are alike hurtful to the hu man specie, whether they are rum, bran dy gm whiskey or wine, and I shall give my veto accordingly. And to con clude, Mr. President, I think for one" "One," interrupted the same incorrigible wag, "is as many as you ought to undertake to think for." "Mr. President," said the orator, Pm very sorry to be intercepted in my remarks a second time but as I was go ing to say, I conclude therefore" You've concluded twice already," said the wag. "I've nothing more to say Mr. President," said the orator in his third conclusion, "and so I have concluded to waive the subject for the present." JY. y. Constellation,

From the Delaware Gazette. Congress met on Monday the Clh instant. In the Senate there were 33 members present, including Mr. Kaudain, from this state. Mr. Clayton was not present. Mr. Pcindexter, from Mississippi, and Mr. Baker, from Illinois, appointed by the Governors of those states, the first in the room of Robert Adams, and the latter in the room of John McLean, both deceased, were also among the number. The National Journal, on the authority of the Missouri Republican, claims Mr. Baker as an opponent of the administration. If such be the fact, the Legislature of the stie, will soon place the matter riidiL In the House cf Rcnresenlativcs 1 70 members were present, including Mr, Johns "from this state. Leonard Jarvis, and Cornelius Holland, from Maine, Samuel U. Eagar, and Jonah Sanford, from New York, Joseph Draper and -John M. Patton, from Virginia, and Humphrey H. Leavitt, from Ohio, all new members, were j i rii ii

among me numocr. i ney are an m favor of the administration, except Mr. Eagar. Mr. Stevenson, the Speaker, being absent, on account of indisposition, and it being stated that he would be probable present on the following day, the House adjourned without doing anv business. On Tuesday the President's Message was delivered at a little past one o'clock, being delayed until that time in consequence of the omission on the part of the House to organize on the preceding day. Five thousand copies of the Message, and fifteen hundred of the accompanying documents were ordered to be printed by the Senate, and six thousand of each by the House. In the Senate the following Standing Committees were appointed : 0)i Foreign Relations Messrs. Tazewell, Sandford, White, Bell, King. On Finance Messrs. Smith of Md. Smith of S. C.

Maine, Massachusetts, Vermont, Rhode-Island, hew York, Delaware, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi ant' Alabama, have furnished none of the chairmen. In the House resolutions were adopted for the election of Chaplains, fixing upon the hour of twelve for the meeting, and directing the clerk to furnish the members with newspapers as usual. On Wednesday various petitions were presented, and notices given by different members of an intention ot introduce bills upon particular subjects. The different parts of the President's message were then referred to their appropriate committees. In the House the appointment of the standing Committees was proposed, but was postponed on account of the indis

position of the Speaker, and the appearance of so many new members. An additional numberof the documents in the case of impeachment against Judge Peck, was ordered to be printed. In the Senate, on Thursday, little business of importance was transacted. After the presentation of a few petitions by Messrs. Barton and Hendricks, and the organization of a committee to take into consideration the subject of our current coins, the Senate went into Executive business. When the doors were opened, Messrs. Ellis, of Mississippi, and Kane, of Illinois, offered resolutions of condolence for the death of their laje colleagues, the Hon. Robert II. Adams and the Hon. John M'Lean, accompanied by some very eloquent and highly complimentary remarks on the character and qualifications of the deceased gentlemen. The resolutions were unanimously adopted ; and, as an additional mark of respect for the memory of the late Senators, the Senate resolved to adjourn over till Monday next. In the House of Representative?, Mr. Hoffman submitted as series of resolutions in a Corrimittee of the Whole on the state of the Union, Mr. Wickliffe in the Chair, referring the various subjects contained in the President's Message, to the usual committees. To the one which proposed to refer the subject of

the U. S. Bank to the committee of Ways and .Means, Mr. Wayne moved an amendment, that it be submitted to a Select Committee. An interesting discussion arose cut of this motion, both in the Committee of the whole and afterwards in the House, in which Messrs. Wayne, Hoffman, Tay lor, Davis, (of S. Carolina,) and Cambreleng, took part. The proposition was ultimately negatived, on a division by yeas and nays, by a vote of 103 to G7.

Philip Sweetser 27 44 Hiram Brown 25 31 Ovid Butler 15 4 Scattering 3 2 The Senate, on Monday, passed a resolution appointing a committee of five, to act with a similar committee to be appointed on the part of the Houee of Representatives, to compile and revise the statute laws of the state, during the present session of the General Assembly ; and on yesterday, the House of Representatives, after an animated and able debate, reciprocated the resolution of the Senate. The committees have authority to appoint sub-committees and clerks. The committee on the part of the Senate are Messrs. Stevens, MTviuney, Whitcomb, Graham, and Linton; and on the patt of the House of Representatives, Messrs. Hilli?, Kinney, Ferris, Wallace of F., and Herod. Indiana Journal, December 15. Industry and a close application to business, seem, thus far, to characterize the proceedings of both branches of the Central Assembly. A considerable amount of business, mostly however of a local character, is in progress in both Houses. The circumslauce of but few measures of a geneial nature having been introduced, is doubtless mainly to be attributed to the contemplated compilation and revision of all the statute laws of the state. The joint committees, together with their subcommittees and cleiks, are now er gaged in preparing this compilation, which will be submitted to the Legislature at as early a period as possible. Great txeitions, we ore assured, will be made use of by those engaged in this labour, not only to complete the task as speedily as practicable, but also to submit as complete and perfect ti code as the nature of circumstances will peimit. A considerable portion of the talents, experience, and legal knowledge of the Legislature, together with the aid which can be obtained; from gontlemea now at the seat cf government, and not connected with ihu Legislature, will be brought iu requisition to complete this important undertaking. The length of time which will be necessary for its completion, and the size of the volume which will be pioduced, cjiimul be kuuwn at present. The House of Representatives, by postponing, by a large majority, a resolution diietting an inquiry into the expediency of auiboiisii g thiee terms of the circuit couit, has given a stror g indication that the number of tcims will not be increased. The indications aietqually strong against any change in ihe present probate t-ysttni. A majority of the House of Ropiest n tativts, and we teliee cf ti e Senate also, seem to be in favcur of adt ptirg a uniform mode of deii z county busirtsS by a board of ceu.missicncis.
