Mr. Tip'on, on !e t rod u cod a 1 ill supplementary to the act providing for an exchange of land with the Indi.m, and for their removal west of the Mississippi, which was read a second time, and referred to the committee on Indian affairs. Mr. Benton ottered the following resolution . iWo.ff, That it is expedient, the State of Maryland and Virginia assenting thereunto, to rctrocede the District of Columbia to these States with such reservation as may be necessary for their government. Tim resolution lies one day for consideration. The Cumber! and Uoad Bill was then

taken up for consideration, when the first a mend men t of Mr. Clay (o strike out s.)J0,000, from the clause appropriating for the. expenditure in Ohio, and to in-ort ,$'200,000, was agreed to by the following vote: Yeas. Messrs. Black, Callwvan, Clay.

Mr. Clay moved an amendment to piovide that Ihe expenditure in Illinois should be limited to graduating and bridging tin: load in that State, which .was carried, yeas .30, nays M. Tcksday, March 8. Mr. Clay preset. ted a memorial from a committee for obtaining from Concress an appropriation fr a Marine Hospital in the West. This memorial led to a brief discussion, concerning the origin and object of the Marine Hospital Fund, and the lights of the Western Batmeu to participate in its advantages. Mr. Davis slated lh it the fund had bona co'dected by a tax on Seamen, tver since (he year 17G9, of 20 cents per month out of the wages of each individual, and -that in this way one milJon &nd a half of dollars had been col

lected. He was of opinion that the Western boatmen should not be considered as entitled to the benefits of this fund unless they consented to pay their quota, in the manner and under the conditions, in which it had been heretofore furnished by the Atlantic seamen. Mr. Clay replied that the western boatmen had contributed to build up this fund, having paid towards it about $12,000 since the fund was established. He did not know whether those who worked on board the steam boats in the West paid their proportion, and he knew that those who navigated small arks were exempt. But he wished the subject to be examined.

Mr. Benton wished the Hospital to

be at St. Louis.

The petition was ordered to be print

ed.

The question of the Abolition of

Slavery was again taken up (or consideration, when Mr. Grundy made a

speech which occupied about an hour

and a quarter.

Mr. Kent also made some observa

tions, in w hich he denied the power of

Congress to interfere w ith the abolition of Slavery in the District of Columbia,

without violating the deed by which

the ten miles square was ceded to the

United Slates, lie knew that the

prayer of the petition would not be

granted. He had yet to learn that

there was an individual on this floor

who would vole for it. Mr. Fwing followed, and

On motion of Mr. Crittenden, the

Senate adjourned.

IIOUSD OF iiEPItESENTATIY ES. Tuesday, March 1.

Mr. Wise presented a memorial from John A. Smith, a citizen of the District

of Columbia, petitioning against the in

terfeience of the Northern people in the

suDjectot Slavery in the District of Co

lumbia, and praving the House to re

ject all petitions tor that purpose.

Mr. Wise moved that the petition he

referred to the Select Committee on the

subject of the Abolition of Slavery in

the l;istnct, with instructions to the

committee to report a resolution de

claring that Congress has no constitu

tional power to abolish slavery in this

District.

The Chair decided that the motion

was not in order, and that under a de cision of the House, the paper was re

(erred to the Select Committee upon its

presentation.

Mr. H ise appealed from this decision, and spoke warmly in support of the appeal. After some conversation, Mr Lane moved the previous question which was ordered. The question having been taken it was decided in the affirmative. Yeas 1C3 Nays 33. Friday, March 4. Mr. Ilannegan rose and said it seemed to him to be the settled purpose of the louse to prevent any publication from being made in relation to the manifold abuses and corruption of the West Point Academy. (Much laughter and cries of "order.") But I warn the House, continued Mr.

Hanncgan, llifit they cannot longer smother the truth, and that one way or another we will have it out. The Chair peremptorily called Mr. II. to order. Mr. Hanncgan moved to suspend the rules in' order to otter a resolution for

the printing of the report of the Select Committee appointed last sesden, to investigate the concerns of the Military Academy at West Point, now on Ihe files of the House which report he added, the House had kept back and mothered, (cries of "order.") Mr. Hanncgan. I hope the House will indulge me (cries of "order order") indulge me with the yeas and nay3 on this motion is that out of order? The yeas and nays were ordered. Mr. Vandcrpoel said he was ready-

to prove that this paper purporting to be the report of a Committee, was not

the report of a majority, but of a minority of the committee. The question being taken, the motion

was rejected, yeas 112, nays 82, not two

thirds. Ti'f.sday, March C.

Mr. Hanncgan moved to suspend the rules, in order to move that the Report

o the Select Committee on the Milita

ry Academy, at West Point, made t

the last session, be taken from the files of the House, and printed. lie did not, he said, expect any votes from the

gentlemen who had brothers, sons, and

kinsmen id the Academy. He asked

the yeas and nays on the motion, but

they were refused. The motion was then put, and re jectcd without a count.

DIYISIOX OF THE COUNT V.

On this subject we made a few re

marks in our paper of the 5th inst

which seems; to have ruiilcd the feath

ers of Major Glenn, who figures at the lramPtc n ilie Constitution." This doctriiie head of Ihft Rising Sim 'Hmos. Tbf! not suit liud we can find hundreds of

grounds of our opposition to the measure, and in taking tit is course, we are acting consistently

with our first principles. We have evidence enough to satisfy us that the county does not

contain 400 square milos, and we are opposed

to violating the Constitution. A citizen of

Lawrenceburgh, and one who holds a very important office, when told a few weeks since

that this county was now under its roiirtitu

tional limits, and that of course a new county-

could not be struck off, said, "IJy ire can,

sure him that he has totally misconceived our object, as it never entered our mind for a moment that on the

"citizens below Laughcry"' whom it will not

The Palladium says it is notorious that all

the movements of the people of this place have

tended towards ectting a county scat here. If

I this be the fact it uever came to our knowledge.

We always understood the struggle to be the

merely wished to give him an intima

tion that if he would take the lead in favor of this measure, zve would second his efforts-to. the extent of our feeble abilities. Knowing, as we did, that all the citizens of Rising Sun, with one or two exceptions, and indeed nine-tenths of all the citizens below Laughcry, were in favor of a division of the county, our eyes were naturally directed lo the editor of the Times, as the organ of their

entiments, as the champion of their in

terests, and the fearless advocate of their

rights. And we had supposed that he

had no other interest except one in common with the communility in which he

was located. In this we may have been mistaken. That the citizens of Rising

un have long been struggling for a

new county, with a view ol making that place a county scat, is notorious that all their movements have tended to the consummation of this object, is equally

well known that this question will, more than all others, influence the people of this county in their choice of Representatives at our next electon, cannot be disguised and that four mem

bers will be elected favorable to the measure we have no hesitation in be-

And have not the citizens of

Rising Sun, justice and merit on their

side? There is not a more beautiful

site for a town, and a more eligible

place for a county seat, on the Ohio River from Pittsburgh to its mouth. It is high, dry, and healthv, and easy

of access; surrounded by a country rich

in soil, and densely populated and no place can boast of a more thrifty, public spirited, and patriotic class of citizenj. Entertaining these views, our feelings naturally incline us to advocate any measure that may be calculated to promote their interests; and no ill-natured remarks from the Editor of the Times shall drive us from our purpose. The above article is copied from the Palla

dium of Saturday last; and as we are desi

rous that every citizen "below Laughery" should see and read it, we give it publicity.

We ha?e perused this article again and again,

and theoftener we read it, the more did we re

flect upon the fact, that there are men who will sacrifice principle, honor, consistency, erery

thing, for their own interests, or the interests of

those they are compelled to serve. This is true in the case now before us; and not only is this

o, but tlie utmost deceit and the most arch hy

pocrisy is also made use of in order to succeed

in leading the public mind astray

The evident object of the Palladium now is, lo get up a question for a division of the county

to make the people below Laughery believe that the Lawrcnceburgher will aid them, and

that they will ucceed in getting a new county

struck off that if they succeed in getting- up

ed into the head of a single individual in Rising

Sun, or "below Laughery," to petition for a

division last winter, until the petitions were sent hero from Lawrenceburgh. We know too

that last fall certain Lawrenceburghers ur-ed

strongly upon some of our citizens to get up a

petition for division, promising to aid them if they did. Hut the answer was, We have no

confidence in you! Wc ask, what have they done to merit our confidence now? Who will

answer this question?

The truth of the whole matter is that certain

Lawrenccburghers are the prime movers for

division that they are at heart onnoscd to ft

we have not a doubt but by agitating this

question they expect to "divide akd con

quer" the party which has heretofore sunpor

ted the removal. This is their last resort ; this

is to be their last struggle; and cow it will be

"Root hor, or die. "'

TO THE PEOPLE OF INDIANA, Executive Department, ) Indianapolis, March 7, 1836,} An association of patriotic individ-

uals, under the name of the "Washington National Monument Society," composed of the President of the United Slates, Heads of Departments, the Gov

ernors and members of Congress of each slate, and others, have determined to

erect, at the Seat of Government ofthe

Union, a monument in memory of the name and virtues of your beloved Washington. This noble undertaking, so worthy of the nation, is lo be accomplished by public contribution?, but that all may share in its honors no individual is allowed to give more than One Dollar for himself and one for each

member of his family. Individuals who

subscribe will become members of the

Society, and the name of each will be

recorded in the clerk's office of the proper county, will be published at the City, and when finished will be registered in the Monument for the inspection of coming generations. The contemplated object could be easily effect

ed by large donations from wealthy persons, from corporate towns, cities, and

such sums as would no doubt be granted by state Legislatures, but then it would not be so directly the free gift and work of the people and of the nation, and for that large sums are not receivable. Charles J. Hand has been regularly appointed -Collector for this state, and will, by deputy or in person, call on the people of each county as early as possible. In the meantime it is desired that the clerks, sheriffs, judges, military officers, and justices of the peace will propose meetings in each county at the April elections, and other public days, and that the sums received with the names of individuals be handed to and registered by the clerks of Ihe circuit courts. It is a part cf the design lo build the Monument ofthe best specimens of marble or granite to he found in each state, for which purpose a few blocks of from one to two tons weight will be needed from tiiis stale; therefore, any communication giving information of suitable materials will be gladly received by the undersigned. Indiamans! For the name of Washington we acknowledge our veneration. In his fame and character, imperishable of themselves, we all claim a property, nationally and individually one that no American would part with and now that our fellow citizens of other states are sending in their mites, it is believed we have too much state pride to be lacking in evidence of our public spirit, patriotism, and gratitude for the Father of his Country. N. NOBLE. The undersigned will, with as little delay as he can, appoint a deputy for the several districts of the state; and will, as far as he can, call on the people himself. Until more permanent provisions are made (he sheriff of each county (where agents are not already appointed) is requested to act as agent on all public occasions, depositing the sums received and the names of the citizens with the clerk ofthe countv. .
