LAWREISfCEBUKGH, (IA.) SATUMBAY, FEBRUARY 4,

January 19. In the S?nafe, yesterday, Mr. Sprague'? resolution, calling for the correspondence which led to the selection of the arbiter of the disputed boundary question, was adopted, with a proviso, that the correspondence should be communicated "confidentially or otherwise,'5 as the president may think proper. The bill for altering the draw of the bridge over tbe river Potomac, was, after some discussion, ordered to a third reading. There was a debate of considerable length on the bill for the relief of the representative of Colonel John Laurens, which was ended by laying the bill on the table, for the present. Mr. Benton gave notice that he would, to-morrow, ask leave to introduce a bill declaratory of the meaning of the Charier of the Bank of the United States, in respect to the currency. In the House of Representative?, Mr. Stewart concluded his remaiks on Mr. Bouldin's resolution on the subject of the Tariff. Mr. Davis, of Massachusetts, offered an amendment in lieu of tbe original resolution, directing the Committee on Manufactures, to enquire into the practical effect of the revenue law3 upon the commerce, agriculture and manufactures of this country; all whether frauds are not perpetrated in tbe importation of goods, and the revenue thereby reduced, and how such frauds may be suppressed, &c. Mr. Wickliffe moved the previous question, which was sustained by a vote of 96 to 77. The question was then propounded, "shall the main question be now put?" which was decided in the negative, by Yeas 93, Nays 96. Considerable time was spent in Committee of the Whole on the State of Union on the Apportionment Bill. The merits and principles of the bill were discussed with much zeal upon Mr. Hubbard's motion to amend by striking out 48,000 as the ratio, and to insert 44,000. Before the question was taken on this amendment, the Committee rose, reported progress, and the House adjourned. From the Globe of Jan. 17. The debate in the Senate, upon the Tariff, was resumed yesterday. Mr. Hayne replied to Mr. Clay, and fulfilled the high expectation which it was evident he had excited, from the great assemblage that attended. The Senate Chamber was never so crowded before, and all who were present, left it, we have no doubt, with better auguries for the restoration of harmony among the different sections of the Union, than they brought with them. The spirit of compromise, in which Mr. Hayne advocated the interests of the South, impressed very favorably some of those who are identified with the opposite policy. Mr. Wilkin?, of Pennsylvania, while he insisted that the protective principle could never be yielded by him, and asserted, that its maintenance was essential to the interests of the State he represented, frankly avowed the hope he entertained, that some concession could be made compatible with those interests, to meet the conciliatory temper manifested by the Senator from South Carolina. These gentlemen, in showing that they are actuated by patriotic devotion to the general welfare of the whole Union, and that they are mutually willing to advance somewhat towards each other, from those extreme and opposite positions assumed by the Tariff and Anti-Tariff parlies, have given an earnest that an adjustment may be made, to heal the dissentions of the country. Wre rejoice at the indications of yesterday's debate, and think that the country may hail it as the harbinger of returning peace. Mr. Clay, on his part, seems determined to disappoint the hopes which he took some pains to excite before he left the West, as to his course. The Richmond Whig declared, that it was authorized to vouch for his readiness to meet the wishes of the South in the spirit of conciliation. But so far from it, Mr. Clay has taken a determined stand, upon a resolution, which cuts off all prospect of compromise with bim. He is for his system his whole system, and proposes to hedge round every essential article of consumption among the great mass of the people, with new restrictions. He is willing to reduce the tax on Wines and Silks, and abolish it on similar articles of luxury, but would tax to the uttermost every article of common apparel and common use, and those most essential to the poorest classes highest.

From the Globe. Washington City, Jan. 12, 1832. Mr. Blair: Among the resolutions adopted at a Jackson Meeting, lately he Id at Vincennes, Indiana, are the following, which deserve and merit particular attention, for the truth and consistency therein contained. Your frieod, AN INDIANAN. "Resolved, That the honorable, independent and consistent manner with which the Hon. Ratliff Boon, with credit to his friends, and success for himself, sustained an arduous contest, with an opponent who was backed by all the influence of the Judicial station he had occupied, and of an almost united bar: sustained by a powerful party, with 5 out of 6 presses in the District at his control; and aided in the most populous part of the District, by all the feeling which a most Important local interest could arouse; has merited our approbation, and that we most cheerfully accord to him this humble testimony of our respect, esteem and confidence.

"Resolved, That the proceedings of this meeting be published in the 'Western Sun,' and that this meeting stands adjourned until the 8th day of January, 1832. "JOHN BADOLLET, Clin. Mm. L. Withers, Sec'y." To the Editor of the Globe: Sir The following statement of the population of "the West" in the year 1790, has just fallen under my notice, in reading an old periodical. The wonderful changes that have taken place in this fertile region, in lit tie more than one generation, is well calculated to produce grateful refiec tions; and, for the purpose of making these reflections as common as possible, I have copied the article for publica tion in your paper. T. The number of souls in the Tirritory of the United States northwest of the river Ohio, in 1790. In the seven ranges of townships Ohio Company purchase, 1,000 The French Settlement, opposite Kenhawa Sy mines1 Settlement, 1,300 Ciarksvil!e,at !he Ripids of Ohio, CO Vincennes, on the Oubashe, inclusive of River du Chy Station, 1,000 Kaskaskias, 315 Chybokia, 365 At the Grand Ruisseau, Village of St. Philip, and praiiie du Rochers, 240 4,280 N. B. In the town of Vincennes, upon the Oubashe, are about 40 American families, and 31 slaves; and upon the Mississippi, are 40 American families, and about 73 slave?, which are included in the above mentioned estimate. Upon the Spanish side of the Mississippi, above the confluence of the Ohio, are At Genivive, Lahine, and a small new village (half of which are blacks) 850 St. Louis (130 of which are blacks) 720 A small settlement 12 miles west, 100 A settlement 20 miles up the Missouri River, 150 1,320 To the Editor of the Globe; Sir The enclosed extracts are from a letter addressed to the President of the United States, which lately appeared under the signature of A Working Man, in the JVezo-Yorc Daily Sentinel and Working Mail's Advocate. Crowded as your paper is at this moment, you will yet, I think, deem them worthy of a place in it. To see them there, would gratify one whose best wishes are with it: and for no reason so strongly as for its uncompromising hostility to a measure the re-chanering of the Bank fraught with the greatast danger to our glorious experiment in self-government. The question is Shall we create a corporation with pozver to rule us? Will the people consent to the creation of such a power. Let the "bone and sinew" examine and decide this question for itself. Let every man enquire for himself into the nature and power of Banks and Bank Directors in general of the Bank in whose sphere (for there are few of us who are not within the pasture grounds of some one or other of the monsters) he may most particularly be placed. Having done this, let him task himself to fix bounds to the power of a corporation whose capital will to all intents and purposes, be unlimited

irm TTiri fi whose sphere will be the ivhols Un ion whose might will be at once so concentrated and so diffusive like the electric fluid which rends the heavens in twain, from pole to pole, capable of making itself felt, at one and the same moment, at every point from Maine to Georgia from Boston to St. Louis. Can any possible benefit were it ten times as great as its friends lay claim to can any possible benefit weigh for one moment against the evil of thebare existence of such a power? No! and the voice of the people will be no I Clay men, who are constantly im peaching the capacity and integrity of ben. Jackson, pay hut an equivocal compliment to the wisdomofa great majority of the American people. Whatevermight beourown opinionsuponany subject, we should certainly entertain them with great hesitancy, when opposed by so large a moiety of the numbers & intelligence of our fellow-citizens. It argues but little to say, that the minority are as likely to be in the right as the majority, and that their opinions ought to command as much consideration. In regard to the condition of the country under the presentadministration;we have staring facts important, indubi table facts, to justify us in a laudible, unwavering support of the principles upon which it is now conducted, as well as an adherence to the able individual at its head. Such an unqualified ap proval of the administration of the Gen eral Government, we know is apt to make tbe incredulous of the opposition smile, but they must nevertheless re fleet, that in speaking thu?, we say noth ing new nothing more than is said and felt by at least two thirds of the nation. Ought not such a knowledge of the pub lie feeling and it is known to every intelligent Clay man make that parly pause in their career of traduction and misrepresentation. Maysville Monitor From the Louisiana Free Press, Dec. T2. This day the eve of an Anniversary which records the undying glory of the man whose name adorns this column do we determinately hoist the Jackson Flag. Nor only hoist zee nail it to our mast praying that, should we eink ourselves, that emblem may still float unsullied above our wreck. We shall be railed at, roared at and our only vengeance will be, to say, with Duke Thescu?, "let him roar again!" We are not seeking to produce a glittering article nor to make a parade of showy sentiments we are in earnest; and have no time to catch butterflies, nor to call bouquets. To those of the present day, who may ba interested in our fate and reputation, we would give clearly to understand, zvhat are our principles and zvhy tluy are such; and should this publication upon whose infancy many may frown, and at whose ambition more will smile descend with years and a good name upon its head, to another generation and more gifted hand? we desire that, with respect to this great question, there should be a plain recording monument of our professions and our deeds. Andrew Jac kson is the man of cur, as he is assuredly the man of the nation's choice to fill the Presidential seat ot these United State?. When did he become so? Not to-day, nor yesterday, nor last year, nor the first moment he hecame a candidate Jor the office; but, after a careful and anxious investigation into his character and claim?. Reasonable and true men will recollect, with disgust, the Augean mountain of calumny through which such an investigation must have been made. He became the man of our choice after the examination, yet long before bis election. When did he become the object of his slanderers hatred, and the maik of their malice we add triumphantly their defeated malice? Was it on the S!h of January, 1815? Why is Andrew Jackson the man of our choice? L:t this great ration answer for us: listen to the vt ice, and it will tell you because lie is a bravp, honest, patriotic, and capable man. You, his discomfited enemies, passing over the bravery, the honesty, the patriotism all too brilliantly unassailable, even by such ns you seized on his capability, and labored hozo you labored! to despoil him of that. You sid he was (but why repeat the absurdi ties?) every -thing that Falsehood and Malice fou'fi say, with their eyes blinded against fie avenging arm which nation's indignation stretched fearful? above them.

"5 with destroying the invader of his country, torn out the tongue of calum ny, and laid bare the hideousnes of intrigue. He has triumphed, by uis mere and single worth, over an opposition which had invoked every evil spirit to aid in his destruction. He is the man of our choice because he ha3 more virtue?, obscured by fewer vices personal and political than nny other pretender to the honors he has wop. Is that enough? Do you desire more reasons, zvhy we shall glory to see Andrew Jackson again presiding over thia government t We ill gratify you. We love the man; our people love the. man; his name is in every mouth that loves to speak its coumrv's praise; hia story and his fame excite enthusiasm and warm the heart. Who ever felt hia blood tingle, or his bosom swell at the name of Henry Clay and John Q lincy Adams, professing himself ever so devotedly the r admirer and partizant There is an instinct a feeling, an impulse, which cannot err, binding the hearts of the American people to the name and fame of Andrew Jackson. D you seize that assertion, to be justified in 6aying that his election was not founded upon reason ana principle, but upon the undue excitement of popular feeling? Do you really think you have us on the hip there? Hear our answer. The Americans are not an excitable people; it requires much to move them; therefore, when they are moved, it is by some very substantial case. In this case, the cause was two fold; a general love for the man, and as general an indignation, at the very base and disgraceful conduct of his enemies. And the people gave their suffrage, and the good cause triumphed; and Jackson did not laugh in bis sleeve at the gullibility of his electors, for he had not intrigued with the weak among them, nor blinded tbe eyes of the strong. Proud of hia couotrymen'o approbation, and rejoicing in the sunshine of their gratitude, he quietly ascended the high place to which they led him, and watched ceaselessly over their interests and their peace. And he sits there yet, and he will sit there again; and when he has filled the measure of his czvn, as of his country's glory, the tears of a grateful people will bedew their soldier' grave. May that day be distant! Who does not gay "AmenP Lying. Do not parents often unconsciously encourage habits of falsehood in their children, by their own example. A child, for instance, observes its mother send word to the door when a visitor calls, that she is not at home. Now the child knows this to be a falsehoodit has not yet learned to distinguish between the nice shades of a lie and a white lie; nor to understand the conventional agreement which exists in refined society on this subject: You may lecture to this child as much as you will on the s!n of lyisg, but one such example like that which I have mentioned, is sufficient to upset all your fine moral theories, and to nullify your attempts to inculcate a love of truth: Children are greater observers of what is passing round them than we give them credit for; we should at least act before them onlv as we would have them act; for what they see their parents do, they will themselves do, acd think they may rightly do it.
