S5 jnfnr-TKaD cotfanrss. FIRST SESSION. IN SENATE. Tuesday, April 1, 1834. Itfr. TIPTON presented a memorial from iundry citizens of Arkansas Territory; which was referred id the Select Committee on the admission of Michigan & Arkanthe Senate took up the bill making appropriations for rep'' ,lnd completion ot the Cumberland Road through the states ot Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. flMf Mr. HENDRICKS moved wpfcendmcnt to apply a portion of the appropriation to building toll gates and toll-houses on the , road. :-atMr. POINDEXTER opposed the application of the money to any purpose but the repair of the road. Mr. HENDRICKS said he proposed the amendment, because the act of ihe Legislature of Pennsylvania contemplated the taking of the road, when the toll-gates and houurAKfl Kill lilt.

Mr. CLAYTON opposod the whole bi II OR principle. iiio impruv biuuih was designed us a talional system; and this proposed cessiaB to tho States through which tho roadpssod, would bo destructive of this great principle, if the states were to exercise unlimited jurisdiction over it. Mr. EWING replied, that it would not be giving the exclusive jurisdiction over the toad to the States. Congress still retained its power over it. The States were tho agents of the General Government. They were to take only enough tolls for repairing the road. It must go out of repair, or the States must take it under their conMr. FRELINGHUYSEN thought this was one of the most substantial improvements of the General Government. It was a highly national object, and to stop it now, would be sounding the funeral knell of the system; and, therefore, he was not in favor of it. He had reason to belivc, f om the reports on the subject, that by a further expenditure of 6 or $ 700,000, it could be put in complete order, and the States would take it under their control. After some further remarks, Mr. HENDRICKS withdrew his amendment. Mr. PRESTON then made some remarks in opposition to the bill, and then offered the following amendment to tho appropriat'on : "Provided, The States of Maryland and Pennsylvania consent to receive those portions of the road passing through their respective territories, upon the said sum of $300,000 putting the said road in re pair." Mr. WILKINS opposed the amendment, because it would tend to defeat the bill. He did not know how the consent of the States could be obtained. We must trust to their good faith to take the road, and he doubted not they would do so. After some furttier remarks by Wp"CLAY, EWING and KANE, the amendment was disagreed to. The question on ordering the bill to be engrossed, and read a third time, recurring, it was decided as follows. YEAS Messrs.

GENERAL APPROPRIATION BILL Mr. VANCE of Ohio offered an Amendment to the Bill, us follows: lk it further enacted, f hut from and attor tho uassiure of this net, instead of the compensation now allowed by law, there shall be paid to the within named oincers, the following sums per annum: Tn onpb fif tbn Secretarial, of Slate. Trcasm'-, War, and Navy, four thousand dollars. " To the Postmaster General, three thousand five hundred dollars. To each Assistant Postmaster Gcncnil,eiglitccn hun dred dollars. To each of the Comptrollers of tho Treasury, two thousand dollars. To eauhotthc Auditors otitic treasury, two thousand dollars. To the Solicitor of the Treasury, two thousand dollars, lo the Register of the Treasury, two thousand dol lars. To the Treasurer, two tnoiisanu dollars, fo the Commissioner of Indian Af fairs, two thousand dollars- To the Commissioner of the General Land Office, two thousand dollars. And that there be deducted from the com ¬ pensation now allowed by law to the clerks in the Department ) of Slate, Treasury, War, and Navv, including those in the Gc neralLand Ofrice.at the rate of thirty-three and one-third per centum per annum. That irom all officers ot tne customs, oy whatever name designated, or in whatever m;innAt nmnlnvnif. there shall be deducted from the compensation now allowed to them by law, at the rate of thirty-three and onethird ner centum oer annum. That Irom all officers connected with the system of the public lands, either as Survey-1 ors Ucncral, Registers, Kecetvers,nrcierhiy there shall fe deducted from the compensailip.m bv law. at the rate of i thirty three and one-third per centum per annum. I That from all the clerks in the General Post Office, Deputy Postmasters, their assistants, and clerks, there shall be deducted j from the compensation now allowed to them by law, at tho rate of thirty-three and onethird per centum per annum. That from all nersons connected with the Indian Department, as superintendents, intents, sub-agents, interpreters, aeenti for O 7 -O , ' 1 removals, commissioners, or in whatever other manner employed, there shall be deducted i from 'he compensation now allowed them i.j. iw or at the rate of thirty-, three and one-third per centum per annum. That to the members of the Senate and J loose of Reoresenlatives, instead of the compensation now allowed by law, they shall receive six dollars per day, ana six dollars for every twenty miles travel to and from the Scat of Government. And that j from and after the expiration of Ihe present; presidential term,the salary of the President ofthe United States shall beffteenthousand dollars per annum. Mr. VANCE said, he was not in the habit of making speeches, and should not long 1 detain the House. The measure which he j proposed was his own, and maturely consi-! dered. From the present derangement of ; the currency, and the general depression of business, the salaries ofthe officers of the. Government were actually increased in value to the amount ofthe reduction which he proposed. If we are coining to a specie currency, it can be proved, hy arithmetic;,! that in ten years the office holders would J possess themselves of the whole wealth of. the country, if they arc not reduced. The office-holders ought, he thought, to sympathize with the people in their distresses and j embarrassments. The price of all the property in the country was reduced 40 or 50 ! percent. The President, with his salary of j $ 25,000 which he was sorry we could not touch during his term, could now purchase,! with his $25,000, $50,000 worth of tho j property of his confiding constituents. He wished to teach the men who have mo- j nopolized all the offices that they ought not to tamper with the interest ot the community. He even thought that we ought to reduce our owti pay, though he kr ew that ihe Representatives in Congress were worse paid than any officers under the Government, and he was aware that it was advisa ble to keep the members above the reach of executive influence, llisown constituents did not depend upon office for support, and their whole industry was pa'alyzed. He had offered the measure without concert with any individual. M'. Polk opposed the amendment, also Mr. Beardsley, on ihe ground that it was improper to emLarrass an Appropriation Bill with the subject, &c. Mr. Lam: also spoke at considerable lentrth amiinst the amendment proposed. The Amendment was supported by MefBrs. Bates, Watraough, Chilton and others, and the attention, belli? taken separately on each clause ofthe Amendment, the amendment was lost. MR. CALHOJjVcTsPEECH. We invite the attention of our readers to the following extracts from the speech of Mr. Calhoun, delivered at the present session, in the Senate of ihe United States. This distinguished Senator is unconnected with either of the great parties which have been so heated in the late Presidential canvass, and ! he speaks the language of impartial truth.

The reader will see, in his rcir.:-ks;ht the

charge against tho United States Ban. of in terfering with politics, is totally unfotnded, tvhi le tho local bonks in which the Secretary has placed the Doposites, leagued tocher l.y mutual interest, in support of tho fBHfnistration dependant upon the more irifdf the President, for tho custody of tho publfc troasurc scattered over tho whole twfltty four StatcF with a numerous host of stockholders, officers p.nd dependants, and all acting in concert, and solid phalanx in furor of any administration, must l;c an engine of political influence, more potent than the United States B:ink could lie, and infinitely more dangerous to public liberty: "The Secretary alleges that (he Innk lias interfered with tne politics of tho country. If this bo true, it certainly is a mosthniiious offence. The l ank is n great public trust, posscfsing, for the purpose of discharging the trust, great power and influence, which it could not pervert frotn the olject intended to that of influencing the politics of the country, without bcingguiiiv of a groat political crime. In making these remarks, I do notin'end to give any countcnonce to iho truth ofthe charge ofthe Secretary, nor to deny the officers of the B.tnk ihe right which belongs to them, in common with every citizen; freely to form political principles, and act On Ihein, in their private capacity, without permitting them to influence their official conduct. Bjt it is strange it did not occur to the Secretary, while he was accusing and punishing the bank on tho charge of in crferinfl in the politics ofthe country, that tho Goxfinmcnt also was a great trust, vested with powers still more extensive, and influence immeasurably creator than that ofthe Lank, given to enable it to discharge the ol ject for which itl was created ; and that it has no more right to pervert its power and influence in'othc means of controlling the politics of ihe country, than the bank itself. Can it be unknown to him that the Fourth Auditor of tho Treasury (an officer in his own departmen",) the man who has marie so prominent a figure in this transaction, was daily and hourly meddling in politics, and that he is one of the principal political managers ofthe Administration Can he be ignoiant that the whole power ofthe Government has been perverted in'o a great politico I machine, with a view of corrupting and controlling the country 1 Canjie be ignorant that the avowed and open policy of br Government is to reward political friends, and punish political enemies ? and that, acting on this principle, it has driven from office hundreds of honest and competent officers for opinion's sake only, and filled their places with devoted partisans? Can he be ignorant that the real offence of the Bank, is not (hat it has intermeddled in politico, but because it would not in crmeddlc on the side of power? There is nothing more dignified than reproof from the hps ol innocence, cf from the hands of justice; be' ture let the guilty reproval punish, and wlic' hmcnt jiic- ' ti natCtUl, Can LV pK. tion? The Secretary next tells spirit, that the bank had been . me of the public funds. That it has spent si.nie thirty, forty, or fifty thousend dollars I do not rememher the exact amoun" (trifles have no weight in the determination of so great a question) in circulating essays and speeches in defence of the institution of w hich sum, one-fif h part-soine seven thousand dollars; belonged to the Government. Well, sir, if the bank has really waded this amount of the public money, it is a grave charge. It has not a right to waste a single cent; but I must say,in defence of the Lank, that, assailed as it was by the Executive, it would have been unfaithful to its trust, both to the stockholders and to the public, iiad it not resorted to every proper means in its power to defend its conduci, and among others, the free circulation of able and judicious publications. What, is the real question which now agitates the country ? I answer, it is a struggle between the Executive and Legislative departments of the Government x struggle, not in relation to the existence of the bank, but which, Congress or the Presiden', should have the power to create a bank, and the con1 sequent control over the currency ofthe country. This is the real question. Let us not deceive ourselvei- this league this: association of hanks created by the Executive; bound together by its influence; united in common articles -ot association, vivified and sustained by receiving the deposits ofthe public money, anu hiving their notes conver ted, by being received every whtre by the Treasury, into the common currency ofthe country ( is, to all intent and purposes, a bank of the United States the Executive bunk ofthe United States, as di inguished from that of Congress. However it might fail to perform satisfactorily the Useful functions of the B ink of the United Shtos, as incorporated by law, it wou.d outstrip it far outstrip it in all its dangerous ijtialities, in extending the power, the influentc, and the corruption ofthe Government. It was impossible to conceive any institution more ad niirably ca'culated to advance these ol je -ts. Not only the selected banks, l.ufi the whole banking institutions of th conn'sand wiih it the entire money power, for (he purpose of speculation, and corrupt, would be placed under the control of the Bxccuttve. A system of menaccB and promises will Le establishedof menace to the btuks in possession of" tho deposi-es, but whicl might not be entirely subservient toExeoirtive views; and of promise of future favors t those who may not as yet enjoy its favor Between the two, the banks would be tef&yithout influence, honor, or honesty; and a system of speculation and s Ock-jfbbing would commence, uuequalled in the onnolsofour country. I fear they have already tommenced; I "fear the means which have fcen put into the hands ofthe millions of powfcr by tho removal of the deposites, and placing them in the vaults of dependant banks, have extended their cupidity to tho pubtic lands, partic

ularly in tho soudi-west, and that to this we must attribute the recent phenomena in that

.quarter; immense and valuable tracts of land sold at short noticeso les trauauientiy post' poned to aid the speculators with which, if I not misinformed, a name hot unknown to this body (Gwin) has porformed a prominent part: But 1 cave ihisto my vigilant and able friend from Mississippi) (Mr. Poinoextfji,) at tho head ofthe Committee on Public landsj who, doubt not, will seojusticodorto to the public As to stock-jobbing, this new arrangement will open afield which Rothschild himself may envy. It has been found hard work very hard, no doubt by the jobbers in stock, who have been engaged in attempts to raieo or depress tho price of United States Bank stock; but no work will be more easy than to raise or depress the price of the stock of the sclcc'ed Lanks, at the pleasure of the Executive. Nolhing moro will bo required ihan to give or withhold deposites to draw or abstain from drawing warrants; to pamper them at one time, and starve them at ario'hcr. Those who would be in Ihe secret, and who would know when to buy and when to fell, would have the means ofrealizing,by dealing in the stocks, whatever fortune they might please. SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES. The correspondent of the Portland Advcrtirerrayi ; It is a body for intellect, eloquence and political resources, probably unsurpassed l.y any political assembly in the world. There are men in it, who would have filled the world with their names, and who would have glitcred like stars on the Historian's page, if they had lived in the illustrious days of Greece and Rome. History would then have eml aimed their acts, and Poetry would have embellished thoir fame. Looking through tho mist of antiquity, they would have loomed forth upon us as the Demothencs and Cicero of other centuries. This is strong praise I know, but I have not been an incautious reader of classic oratory, and what History has told us that the orators of antiquity have done. I have seen and heard in tho American Senate. Not all, however, can be classed wi.h the mighty dead. Candor compels me to say there are some, but they are few, who have fallen there as the seed or the leaf falls, after the wind has ceased to toss it. JUDGE M'LEAN'S LETTER. To the Editor ofthe Hamilton (O.) Int. Washington, 2Gth Maech, 1834. Dear Sir: I have just received your letter of the 17th inst. in which you informed me that at h late public meeting in Hamilton, "a number of letters were read to the meeting,statinr, ;n effect, that 1 had expressed a determination not to be a candidate in opposition to Mr. Van Buren,and that their impression was great; and you requested me to say whether I intended to become a candidate fur the presidency regardless of the decisicih of a national convention." o individual has had the shadow of authority for making the above statement. Whether I shall become u candidate or not, will depend entirely on the voluntary action ofthe People. The choice of their public servants, in my opinion, belongs to the people and not to those who, from selfish views, may assume the responsibility of acting fur ihem. I am opposed to a national caucus or convention now, as I was in 1823, when an attempt was made, through its influence, to elect a President ofthe United States. A national convention is contrary to the established usages ofthe democratic party. It has a direct tendency to place the whole political power of tho country, into the iiands of a few individuals, and to deprive the people of a full and fair expression of then will. It will substitute for the official organs, under the constitutional laws, a ca1 al, winch will control, through a corrupt influence, the whole action and policy of the government. Under such a system the people will be kept in a state of excitement, the moral force of our institutions will be eventually destroyed, and the ruin of our government must soon follow. To keep the election of President out of the house of representatives, 1 have always been in favor of so altering the constitution as to send the election a second time to the people, if there should be a failure to elect on the first attempt. Under no circumstances will I consent to be the instrument of defeating an election of President hy the people. Believing, as I do, that our government can only be sustained in its purity and vigor, by keeping the elective franchise near the people, and out of the hands of political managers, my course, in regard to the future, will in no degree be influenced by the contemplated national convention. In accordance with the usages of the democratic party, state conventions, under certain circumstances, are nut only proper, butnocessary. But the only legitimate ob ject of such a convention, is to ascertain public sentiment, and not to manufacture it. Its meniLers should be chosen by tho people, and to the convention should be borne and expressed the known wishes ofthe people. With respect, Yourob't servant, JOHN M'LEAN. The remarks of Judge M'Lcan concerning a National Convention for the nomination of President and Vice President, apply wi h equal force to Conventions & caucuses f.r the nomination of the Chief Executive officers of our State. All such caucuses have, a tendency (in the language of the Judge) to place the whole political power of the State into the hands of a f sk individuals and control the policy of tho government by meansofa corrupt,cabal, of selfish office seekers und office-holders. Will the people of Indiana submit to such dictation? Editor.

AGRICllI IJKAIi,

SULPHUR IN TREES. TO DESTROY A IX INSECTS PREYING ON THEM. From the Atlantic Journal. Farmers and gardeners ought to hail with rapture a safe, certain, easy and unfuiling mode of driving away or destroying ull the insects, bugs, caterpillars, lice, &- ants, which prey upon trecB and often kill them. Numberless have been the means proposed or devised to get rid of these troublesome guests, most of which aro dirty, costly, or unavailing Our farmers appear to have given up in despair the hope of preventing the deadly attacks of curculios on the roots of peach trceB, and (he fruits ofthe plumb tree. Yet tin efficacious mode is eaia 10 have been found several years ago in France, perfectly efficacious and applicable to all cases and all trees. Tho man whodiscovcrod it, deserved a splendid reward, yet his name has not even reached us. JJut wo claim the honor to have been tho first to make known the process in America, in 1823 in Kentucky, and in 1827 in Philadelphia. Yet the most useful is so slow to spread, that the fact is hardly known yet, or doubted by those who know of it. We arc happy to be able to publish two direct experiments in support of tho fuct and discovery. 1st. We bored and plugged with sulphur in the usual way, a plumb tree which commonly dropped every year all the plumbs before becoming ripe, the curculios lodging eggs in their germs. This was done when the tree was in blossom. On that year hardly any fruit fell, and the tree produced quite well. 2d. We find in the Genesee Farmer, of January 28, 1832, that a young willow nearly killed by aphis or lice, and pismires feed, ing on their honey, was quite revived in three days, and all the lice and ants driven off, by boring the tree with an auger five feet from the ground and three-fourths, through the diameter, filling with brimstone and plugging tight. The tree has thrived ever since. The modus operandi of this singular process is very easy to explain. The vital energy of tiie tree and sap, dissolves the sulphur, carries it into circulation, and involves it in sulphuric gas evaporating through nil the pores of branches, leaves and fruits. This gas is a deadly poison to insects and all animals, it suffocates them or drives them away as soon as they begin to smell it; but no injury whatever results to the tree. We have never heard yet of any direct experiment on peach trees; but we arc sure it will answer quite as well. If the sulphuric emanation could not reach quick enough the roots of the trees which arc commonly attacked, the plugging must be done near the root or at the time ofthe descending sap, when it will sooner reach the roots Let it be tried and the results made known, C.S. R. SHEEP. From the Laiiruitcr Exnminer. Of all domestic animals, the rearing of sheep is to the husbandman the source of most pleasure and profit. Their management then, and a means of protection for them, will deserve from us a passing notice. It may be sa id that of all kinds of stock sheep require the least attention and expense from the farmer. The sheep is the only animal sul jected to the control of man, which will voluntarily endure abstinence frotn water, requiring it only in the event of being housed, bheep, when confined in an enclo' sure, would require no attention, had the fur mers any protection or security for them, against attacks from their dread enemy the dog in whose presence they uniformly discover an instinctive though justly excited panic. Permit us to enquire into tho advantages ofsheep and stock, before we indulge in remarks on their management. A principle in farming which shouid be more generally reduced to practice is, that previous to laying in stock, the farmer should calculate what species, for a certain amount of money, ill realize the largest net profit, making due allowance for a fluctuating market. Suppose a farmer has sixty dollars to invest in stock, which in the month of July or August, will buy him forty good ewes If they be managed according to our 6ul joined directions, and kept one year, we think theannexod, if not exactly, will be very nearly answered. 40 good sheep will have 150 lbs. wool, at 40 cents, $((() 00 40 lambs fat in August, worth $2, fcO 00 40 ewes, when fat, will advance in price 50 cents, 20 00 Clear gain, $1(10 00 A careful and judicious experiment will prove the above statement to be perfectly practicable. We have known the amount of wool from the same number exceeding both in price and in quantity. Wo have known the number of IiiiuLb increasod fifty percent Some may ask the question, how realize even the statemcnSsavcthe increase? Before the reader has marvelled at our statement, wesubmiitthc managemcntond moans. 1st. By oxtrcmo caution in the sclecticn and purchase; choosing such only as have a good vigorous coat of wool ; avoiding age, which should not exceed four yean the mouth being the best index to the age. "d. By paying attention that the male be admitted and kept with them, from the middle of November, and a due regard to tho maxim. " A sheen fat will never fatten again. " 3d. By attend ing to them in winter and in yeaning time with scrupulous care. w Although sheep feed sparingly, yet It is, important that they have plenty of tho best clover hay during winter; and in the yeaning season, (ewes go five months with young,) they should be provided with a hovel, to protect the yeaning from all wot and excessive

xtA'hT. At this season the feed for the ewes should consistofbran, chopped oatsond corn tofted in equal quantities allowing Isach on pint por day, nnd giving them cne half in the morning nnd (he other in the evening. This feed is admirably calculated to increase their milk ibe grand mystery in raisiong lambs. Whole grain must be avoided. It invariably disposes the fleece to waste and drop off more or less before sheering time. When the pasture is insufficient alcne to support them in winter, they chould l,o kept in a yard or ploughed field, for such it thoir inclination for green food, that whila they can got a mere taste of it, thoy will suf for on hay. If the ewes aro of gcod size tho majority will produce two lambs. It i necessary toseo the land s for several days after they are yeaned, and ascertain whether they are acknowledged by the ewes, or suck. If so, there is no danger; thry do well, pj-ovj. ded they have shelter, and the ewes nrcrcg. ularly fed ; in whith case it will be nhing

cxiraoruiiiury to ruiec uii. fi. way not ic irrelevant to state, that lamfsj must bo kept where old breeding sows cannot come in contact with theni a voracious enemy, v. likfo will soon swallow them alive; ncne can La, trusted. Lastly, by tutmirig all ttptngtod pasture about thogpt ot May, and giving bran with salt tfpjtrly, they fatten very readily, and at tfiBWetuson are alwnys in demand. The lambs will command as muck as tho ewes when fat. While unacquainted wiih the raising of sheep, we could not havo subscribed to the statement above submitted: . .l ,1 L it 1 I . ' hut wnn mcEe irecuons as a guice thcie will be little efngnr. Verily then, fellow farmers, the subject must bo worth your at tention ! Feeding cattler wethers, will not compare in point of profit with rearing sheep and fattening on pasture. NEW-YORK ELECTION. AN OVERWHELMING VICTORY. Tho annals of our country furnish no parallel to the decisive and overwhelming victory achieved by the Whigs over the Tories, in the city of New York last week in the face of official influence, prostitution, fraud and violence, unexampled in our history. In 1832, Ihe Jackson party had a majority of 8514 votes in the city. At the election last week, 9 Anti-Jackson Council men and 8 Assistant Council men total 17, woKselw' t ed; and 6 Jackson Council men, and 7 Assistants total 13 making a majority of Four Anti-Jackson men in the City Councils thus securing to the Anii-Jackscn party the government of tho City, the Great Head Quarters of Jacksonism in the United States. For further particulars the reader is referred to the details in another part of to-day's paper. The elections throughout the State of New York have gone overwhelmingly agrainst the Regency party so much that the whole state may be considered as Regenerated and disenthralled, by a majority of Fifty Thousand votes. Torch Light. ANOTHER VICTORY. The Jackson party have Lccnrouted,overwhelmed, " horse, foot and dragoons," at tho late election in G nnecticut. Last year they elected their Governor anda majority in bo h branches of the Lcgistlattire of that S ate. J his year their Governor has leen defeat ed ; and out of twenty-one Senators they have elected but four heir pronor'itn of Representatives still less. The " Experiment" has used up the " party" in Connecticut. Ib. AND YET ANOTHER VICTORY. Virginia Elections. The Telegraph say?, enough has been heard from this State to en able us to say with confidence that the rule of T. Ritchie and of the Kitchen Cabinet is at an end. They have labored to make the elections a test ofthe strength of the party in power, and have in a great dcaree accom plished that end. The result of those elections which have transpired show that the next legislative will bear much the same complexion as the last. The vote censuring the removal of the deposites passed, wchclieve, by a majority olhby vo'es. J he returns as far as received show that that ma jority will not Le diminished. With this distinction, it will Le a majority re uincd by tho people in disregard of the dictation from Richmond and from Albany. V). TIIE RUINOUS EXPERIMENT. The wild and reckless " Experiment'' of the Kitchen Cabinet is spreading ruin ana dismay throughout the country. IhcuFtm and thousands of industrious and enterprising individuals, have already Leen ruined; and hundreds of thousands of laboring men mid their families, been reduced to beggary and starvation, by it. One monied institu tion after another has fallen, in quick succes sion, beneath tho withering blast ol JacHsonism and another und another must Low in accelerated succession, unless the tempc6t of ruin be soon checked in its mnd career, by I the omnipotent voice of an abused and out raged people.
