road where they thought proper, he would suggest to his col league to withdraw the motion. Mr. Crittenden accordingly with-i drew the motion to strike out. Mr. Clay jocosely said, as he had made a compromise or bargain with the Senators from the States interested, he would move to reduce the ums in the bill for Indiana from.350,-

000 to 200.000, and for Illinois to 1 50, j000; which with the other appropri ation granted, would make the whole appropriation for the road .600,000, being a larger r urn than had been previously granted in any one year. 1 tie motion prevailed. Mr.Benton said he was dissatisfied with the reduction contemplated for Missouri, and he called for the yeas and nays on the motion to concur in that amendment. The amendment was concurred in yeas 20, nays 11; as were also the others, and the bill was ordered to be engrossed far a third reading 27 yeas, 16 nays. Mr. Ewing, of Ohio, gave notice that he would endeavor to call up the bill to distribute the net proceeds arising from the sale of the pubic lands, on Monday next. ABOLITION OF SLAVERY. The memorial of the Calne quar terly meeting of the Society of Friends of Pennsylvania, for the abolition of slavery and of the slave trade in the District of Columbia was taken up. and Mr. Leigh withdrew his amend' ment, assicnimr as a reason for the rejection of the prayer of the memorial "that Congress had no constitutional power to abolish slavery in the District." Mr. McKean moved as a substitute for the proposition by Mr. Buch-I anan (pending), "that it was expedient to legislate on the subject." The resolution was negatived. Yeas (Mr. McK. and Mr Hendricks) 2, nays 37. Mr. McKean then moved to prefix the foregoing proposition as an amendment to the motion of his colleague and as a reason "for rejecting the prayer of the memorial." Mr. Ewing of Ohio, said he would vote for this, as it gave me reason at least to reject. The amendment was negatived yeas 3, nays 36. The question recurring to the prop osition by the Senator for Pennsylvania, viz: "Resolved, That the memorial having been read, the prayer thcreot be rejected." Mr. Calhoun said he must withdraw trom the division, lie could not sanction by his vote under any circumstances, the principle that they had a right to receive memorials for abolition. Mr. Prentiss, Mr. Preston, Mr. Walker, and Mr. Davis severally as signed the reasons which governed their votes on the question. Which was put, and decided in the aihrmative, yeas 6 nays 34. So the Senate resolved to reject the prayer ot the memorial for abolition of slave ry in the District of Columbia, &c. After which. Mr. Webster rose and said that he had several memorials of a like character, which, being unwilling to add to the existing excitement, he had refrained from presenting, until the question was taken on the Calne mem oriahhe now gave notice, in order that the Senate should not be taken by surprise, that he would present them at an early day and should movetheir reference t" the usual committee for that purpose on the District ot Columbia. On motion of Mr. Clav. Executive business was taken up in secret session, until the Senate adjourned. Mr. IVz an d Mr. Speaker Polk. Tl... ,i

An incident as unusual among us, as it was villainous, occurred in this vicinity some weeks since. We have recently heard a detail of the circumstances, and give them as nearly as we can, as they were communicated to us. Some weeks since, a voune man arrived in this vicinity, calling himself Reynolds, and stating that he was the son or nephew, (we forget which) of a very respectable gentleman ot that name in Champaign county. He re mained perhaps a week or more, and in the meantime addressed a young lady of the neighborhood, to whom after a courtship of a few days, he war- c? ntWvAw arw a a 4 4 a 2vvw after, seeimr a notice descriptive wua I11U1 a vA gjjr fit, UiauiSiiaiCa UUVU

It it but a lire that separates innocence from sin. Whoever fiailesslv approaches the line, will have crossed i. To keep at a distMnce, therefore, is the part of wisdom. No man ever made up his mind to consign to perdition his soul at once. No man ever entered the known avenues which conduct to such an end, with a firm and nndaunted step. The brink of ruin is approached with caution, and by imper ceptible degrees; and the wretch who now stands fearlessly scoffing there, but yesterday had sunk bark from the tottering dm with fear and trembling. Do you wish for illustration? The pro fligaie's unwritten history will furnish it How offensive its commencement how sudden and awful its catastrophe! Let ua review his life! lie commerces with play; but it was only for amusement! ISext he hazards a trifle to give interest,and is surprised when he finds himself a gainer by the haztrj. He then ventures, not without misgiving, on a deeper stake. I lie slake he Vc!. 1 he loss and guilt oppress him. He drinks to revive his spir its. His spirits revived, he Makes to revive his fortune. Atjnin he i unuccesful. S& again hi 4 spirits II ig, and again tiie cup revives him. h,re he is aware of it, he hus become a drunkard, he has become a bankrupt. Resource fails him. His fortune is gone. J he demon ot despair takes pos session of his bosom; reason de-erts htm, he becomes a maniac. As we have said, the finislir-d gambler has no heirt. The club with winch he herds would meet though the place of ren dezvous were in the chamber of the dyin; they would meet though it were an apartment of the church house. Not even the death of kindred can affect the gambler. He would play upon his brothers coffin; he would play upon his father's sepulchre. Economy. "Oh cat it up, dear eat it up," says mamma. ! can't sna, I've ate enough.11 "Oh yes dear, eat up what's on your plate so that it need'nt be lost.' How common a practice this is; stuffing children beyond the wants of nature, and making them gluttons all their lives,so that the scraps need not be lost. Precious economv this!
