Immediately on the taking of the j question on this resolution, which thus re-. -idled, Mr. IJKvroN moved that the secretary ol the Senate should be ordered forthwith to proceed to the business of expunging, in conlormity to the resolution, which was then and there accomplished, by "th awing black lines around'' the obnoxious record, and writing on the face of it these words: "Expunged by order i ot the Senate ol the United Statss.

The Expunging Resolutions have passed the Senate, and the act of sacriligious violation of the Re cords ot the senate has been ucrlormed by the Secretary. I have just returned from the Capitol, after witnessing the disgraceful and humiliating spectacle, the contemptible farce, as Mr. Wi.rstmj said every man ot sense would regard it. were it not'also a ruthless violation of the Constitution. I have seen those w ho were sent here to be the guardians of the Constitution and a country which has more to preserve than any other country under Heaven, borne down by a power which has swept every thing before it, until our very existence as a nation under our laws and constitution is rendered a matter of great doubt and apprehension.

I can only brieily notice the incidents of this most disgraceful sit ting. Mr. Ewing spoke with extraordinaryearnestness and power. He maintained the justness of the opinion conveyed in the obnoxious resolution, ami went at great length into the consideration of the pro position to Expunge. Some of bin pas sages were full of noble and impassioned loquenee others were of the most sar castle, and withering character. When he sat down, "Question! Question!" was cried by Bknton, and echoed by the Ex pungcrs. l lie ayes and noes were or dered, and just as they were about to be taken Mr. Wkiisti.r rose. Instantly the most perfect silence reigned over the whole chamber you might hear the suppressed breathing ot those around you. so pro found was the stillness. His appearance was most solemn and imposing. He was manifestly struggling with deep emotions. lie began to read a manuscript which he raised from his desk- The circumstance was singular that so skilful and practised an orator snouid read the remarks lie thought lit to oiler. But it was not a speech it was a solemn vkotkst, in behall of himselt and his colleague, as Sen ators of Massachusetts, against the proceeding in which the senate was about to engage. It was a paper of immense power the argument clear, and irresistable is a mathematical proposition, and con veyed in the most terse and vigorous language the remarks on the act to be performed, and the protestation against it such as might bo expected from the mind of a statesman ami a patriot. The closing cntevrccs were eloquent beyond descrip tion, and his voice, in giving utterance to them rang through the chamber like a elar-' ion. Never have I heard more energetic and effective elocution than was exemplilied in the reading ot the whole paper. As soon as Mr. Wkkster finished.' Question! Question!" again resounded through the room. The question was then put on the adoption of the Expunging Resolution and carried. Twentvlo ur iu the affirmative. Nineteen in the negative. .Air.

At last the enraged feelings of thepeople rose up against the desecration;they became uneoutrolable and four successive rounds of h issing burst upon the ears of the servile actors fn this farce. Instantly the President arose and cried, "Clear the gal leries: Mr. IjI'.nton sprung up, appar ently almost bursting with rage, and actually bawled into silence the other Senators, who had risen, as he exclaimed.

That officer repaired to the galleries and soon returned with a person under his charge, whom Mr. Bknton had pointed out as one who had commute! the disorder! A motion was made to discharge this individual but Benton having applied to liini some of those brutal term which constitute his ordinary vocabulary Mr. Morris of Ohio, arose and suggested that it was but fair the person charged with the contempt should be haerd in his own delence. But this suggestion was clamored down. Again it was intimated that that the person iu custody was ready to answer questions, and wished to U1 heard but tins privilege, anil birtlnfright of every American was denied him. Tlii was perieeuy in Keeping witn the lawless and outrageous character of the night's proceedings.. What ustiee or decency could he expected lrommen who had not scrupled to invade and violate the saered character which they were elected bv the people to protect and defend.' After some confused proceedings, the Senate condescended to order him to be dis charged; and instantly a motion mas made to adjourn and carried. 'I'he person who had been brought up then asked the Chair if he might be permitted to say a word in his own behalf, to which the President promptly replied, "Take him out of the house.

Tho British Parliament. lew things would more surprise an American, who lias lormed exulted views of the dignity of the British Parliament, than to visit that bodv, and to witness the undignified manner in which their debates are olten conducted. 1 will give a single specimen. Shortly alter the commence ment of the American Revolution, while Lord Saekville was making a blood and thunder speech against us, recommending them to carry lire and sword through the rebellious Colonies, Wilks cried out "lliats right that s right my Lord it proves the truth of of tho proverb, 'The greater coward the greater devil."

The Committee of the Jlmise of Rep resent at ivr.s on the subject of the late de struction by lire of the Post Ollicc and Patent Office building, have reported, and as the .National Intehgeneor observed, "after all the laborious examination which the committee have made into this matter, they do not appear to have been able to arrive at any satisfactory conclusion as to the cause of the fire, though gross negligence is suggested as the probable soruce ef it." Texas. The New Orleans Standard furnishes a verv curious account of the action of the different branches of the Texian Government in relation to San ta Anna. The rumors reaching the ears of the members of Congress that President Houston intended to liberate the Mexican chiefs, thev passed the fol lowing resolution: "("evolved, That the President be, and is hereby, vested with the custody and disposal of all prisoners of war: tirovidcd, That the prisoners Santa Anna and Almonte sliall not be released or set at liberty on any occasion, without the concurrence of the Senate; and that the Presi dent shall not have tlie power to release said prisoners during the recess of the Senate." Phis resolution was immediately vetoed by Gen. Hovston. 'I'he Congress not withstanding, passed it again by the con stitutional majority of two-thirds, and il became a law. President Houston deter mined to release Santa Anna at all hazards; pronounced the resolution unconstitutional, and a usurpation of his executive authority, and in the face ol the law of Congress, set Santa Anna free, and put the whole Congress at defiance. 'I'he army being with the President in all things Congress succumbed. Phil. Gazette. Ohio Senator On the 18th instant the election of a United States Senator in the place of Air. Ewing came on in the Ohio Legislature. There were thirteen ballottlngs, on each of which Air. Ewing received 5'i votes the whole whig phalanx standing resolutely by him from first to last. 'Phe 13th bal lot resulted in the election of William Vllex of Chillieothe. Alleu is the mis erable creature who gave the notorious certihcate some months ago in relation to the Chillieothe petticoat affair. On that occasion lie wus publicly posted as a liar and scoundrel, and every possible indig nity was oflercd him except the actual pulling ot his nose, yet not a spark of resentment could be kindled in his das tardly bosom. He is not worlhvlof the Senate, even in its present condition of degredation. 1 he Van Buren men of tho Ohio Leg islature, by electing to the Senate a dis graced enemy and villilier of Gen. Har rison, when they know that the people of their State have just gone lor Harrison by majority ol thousands, shew the true character of their boasted regard for the popular will. We are glad to pee, that the people of Ohio are resolved to take the matter into their own hands. Abhorring the political opinions and loathing the personal character of their new Senator, they are determined that a direct vote shall be taken at the next October election calling upon him to resign his seat. The Cincinnati, Gazette says that the password will be "PETTICOAT ALLEN RESIGN'." Louisville Journal. Oiee more. We observe that a num ber of papers which advocated the cause of Gen. Harrison, have riven the word to "keep the flag waving." This is right. Nothing but the most foul calumnies kept him out of the Presidency ibis time, among which ihc "white slavery" story was the :hief. There is nothing that the Ameri can people more abhor than oppression and degradation; and nothing would so

completely divest a man of popular favor

is an attempt to degrade the poor and un fortunate. The enemies of Harrison were aware of the existence of this noble sentiment, and hence their anxiety and unceas ing endeavors to fasten upon him a charge of lh is kind, by a most infamous misrepre sentation ol a vole w hich he gave m the Senate ol Utuo sixteen years ago. on a criminal statute then under consideration Honest and intelligent Van Buren men candidly acknowledge that the fact was not as their partisan presses represented it; but they succeeded but too well in affixing the false impression upon many minds. - That calumny gave Van Buren the vote of Penusj Ivania. Pcnn. Intel. 77ie coming Administration. Mr Van Bureh and his par'y leaders are playing a double game. They hold out the idea that the tariff is to be reduced on certain articles and that there will be no surplus revenue in 1838, and hence Mr Martin Van Buren excuses himself for giving the easting vote against Mr. Cal houn's resolution for the further distribu tion of the surplus revenue. But lie am his party have no idea of reducing the tar iff their object is to keep up the tariff and hold fast to every cent they can get in the treasury, for the purpose of retaining office and power. Lvansville Jour. From the Xcir Orleans Standard. 1 he sugar crops ol Louisiana do not remunerate the planters many of whom shall consequently have to cultivate rice, mdigo and cotton; and some may turn their attention to silk some to preparing wood lor luel, considering the present ex horbitant price. Whatever can pay best and soonest must of course merit chief attention. We have heard that the sugar planters in the aggregate or on an average, have not realized more than 3 per cent per annum any year since lS'J'J. The tariff on imported sugar may be repealed this session But should the supply of domestic and foreign sugar be only equal to ihc demand for increased consumption, it is evident that the same prices may or must be maintained, even were the du ty removed entirely; and as it is likely that many planters will lorego the cane culture, the supply must be lessened, and the prices be continued or increased; for the prices depend much less on the protec tive duties or free importations than on the counterpoise of supply and demand.

My method of smoking is. if in moderate fall or winter weather, to make om smoke in twenty-four bourn- if in severe weather, two. The object to be aimed at in regulating the smokes is, first to make as little tire as you car., sad a good, stroiv smoke second, to let your hams get thoroughly cooled through, after each smokebefore another is made. Every Carreer who uses an axe, knows Ww rapidly a cold frosty axe cohorts pvroliireneons, acid, or essense of smoke. While hams, are eold ihey collect it as rapidly, and a they become warm it dries into tieni. If you increase the heat so as to make them drip tho fat, you lesson the weight of your hams and injure their flavor. .
