Let Senators who can cypner over a subject like a i?, lo 30 ! must be excused. Sir, 1 rose to say to tho country, to say Lo my State, to say to the Senate, that 1 consider this as one of the happiest days of my life: to have the opportunity, at this tim, in this plao", cm tin? oeoa-uon, of voting for a bill that may, in sou-.o degree, do justice to the w idow of tho early and devoted friend of the Weat. the defender in bar in fata; : V a i-j a privilege) .pri bill i memory nobis l;e- rf.acu.

I listened to them with calm attention. Pot, sir. this party question is a very different matter. 1 thoiedu. whan 1 supposed t!io attempt was making to raise the part v flacr, that no laurels could be won by any party in a con tost like this. Senators have disclaimed all party considerations in their opposition to this bill. They do not fee I sincere. Still it ii very difficult to account for tho coincidence of opinions that has brought the entire opposition, with the exception of the Senator from Pennsylv uiia (Mr. Buchannau) nod tho Senator from Mississippi, Mr'. Wedker.) to vote against the bill, upon other th-m party grounds. 'Phe Senator f. mil Arkansas thiabs the Whig parly may we'd vote Lr this bill, but that be naot not be expected to give such a vote. He says General Harrison had dune much for the Wbi : party. I reg.ctted exceed ine'v to heir the word party named in cor.acvem wit.i tpos measure, whiJi rises hovi: all par iv considerations. Let mc

parly lines consulted in the perils of his lile, in his personal sacrifices fur hi country, or in his devoted patriotism? Did he protect one party alone from an invading fdrilibii army, or a more sanguinary savage foe? Ask the frontier settlers "of the West, and thev will ipH vmu TIip j-ervitfs of CJenrra! Harrison like his fame, belongs to the whole people, and will mure to a nation's benefit, to a nation's honor, 8i;d not merely to a party. Let me 6ay to the honorable Scnatois, that whatever of parly character the subject may assume here, the nation, every part of the nation, will repudiate all distinction that will withhold from them a participation in the measure of relief before you. How stands the case in the West, his own , est! Had you seen the citiz ns of the State of his e.irly adoption, the State that twice gave evidence cf her confidence in her first Govcrner, by giving him her electoral vote by large uutjoriths yes, sir, iai 1 you seen the citizens of Indiana, when the news r?r,.-hed them cf the death cf their esteemed President; had you seen the tear stealing down the cheeks of his early associates and friend ; of all parlies, you could then fcri the force of my remarks. It is said there if no nudo.rity i.i the Constitution for this ap.piopiiation. We. are asked to point to the express grant of powers by which wc sustain it. 1 answer, by saying that 1 shall not at this moment be driven into a constitutional argument. I will, however, the fust suitable occasion, attempt to show that ike doctrines that have been urged deny all useful powers to Congress, but, sir, let me ask thoe Sen-itors that den)' the Constitutional poer to pass this bill, where did you get she power to bury your dead.' wheie to grant pensions.' where lo erect tombs and inoimine n's o- cr members of Congrtss who died here, .m l sleep in yoad' r ecm' Ury? Where did you get the power ti grant relief to sufferers by tire at home and abroad.' where to relieve the sufferings cf the destitute poor of the District? ubcie to giant lands to L-d'ayem ? where to pasi the bill for the relief of .Mrs. Frown, the widow tf the ia'.t; General Jiuao Prown? That bill was for a ycr's pay of the deceased General, bo having lived to enter upon die year; that bill was supported, upon the ground that the year had commenced, and it was just and equitable, under the circumstances,- that his widow should receive the balance of the pay for the year. This bill stands upon precisely the same grounds zs to principle, but upon much stronger equitable grounds; in that case, there ha ' been no immediate sacrifices ot expenditures; the officer had been for years in receipt of his salary. How different in this case. President Harrison had been but a month in office; all the expenses and outfits, preparatojy to aid his removal from Nordi Bend to the Seat of Government had been incurred, and it u not even pretended by any here that the small um he would bo Penally enti tled, to would indemnify bin family for Ii'h actual expenses, and shsll we, under such circumstances, refuse indemnification? I weii recollect ihe case of Mrs. Brou n. 1 was a member of the House, and voted with the Senator from New York, (Mr. Wright,) who was also a member, for that bill. My judgment f.nd my conscience told tne then that I voted right; I wds most assuredly aot liable to die charge of being governed by party considerations then in my vote, and I am auCLJl to give a similar vote now. My constituents JpDroved of my vote then, as I have no Gouht uzy State will of my vote now. I have iI;P consolation to know, that I shall givo the sau?e vots that President Harrison would have givcw; was be placed in my eituation. He g3ve his hearty and zealous snpport to tho bill for the relief of Mrs. Brown, and that vote was approved by his countrymen. 1 will detain you no longer. My position, as the representative of a slate more closely identified in feeling with the family of the illustrious Harrison than any other, forbid my saying less. Sir, sb tier me to repeat, before I take my seat, that in voting for this bill, I discharge the most agreeable duty of my life, and wa I required now to either vote against it or resign mv seat here. I would not hesitate one rrrunent; I would lay down my commission, and retire to private life, conscious of having honorably discharged my duty lo the las', moment uf my political existence. Correspondence of the Philadelphia I.iqu'rcr. ExTRVCT TO THE LLIT03, DaIKD Washington, June 10, 3841. Notwithstanding the numerous rumors that have been lloaiing about the city for weeks past, on the subject of a new Commissioner of the General Land Office, something has been effected, and Judge Huntington, of Indiana, takes the place of James W hitcomb, on Monday next. The appointment was certainly not made without great deliberation, and as the compliment was due to the noblo ttate of Indiana, it is fortunate for the country that the office is to be filled by a gentleman so competent and worthy one who will do credit to himself, and honor to the state from which he comes. His duties at first will not be of the most agreeable nature, as the business of the ofiice i3 in a most wretched state, brought about in a great measure by clerks neglecting their duties for weeks ?.i a time, during the kiM Presidential campaign, in sending off Globes, Duncan's speeches, Arc.

From Ac Xat. JntelUgencer, June 29. Hcxaiina of President Xarri3oa. The mortal remains of the late venerated President Harrison were removed lrrm the Government burial ground, in tliis city, on Saturday last,, at the hour and under the ceremonies prescrix-d by the order of Congress, to be conveyed lo their final resting place on the banks of the Ohio, at North Bend. The body was attended by the eon of the deceased, John Scott Harrison, Esq., and by the committee of gentleman from Cincinnati to whom was assigned thi; pious duty of accompanying the teinains to North Bend. The President of the United States, with the Heads of the Departments, the coolmitteea of the two houses of- Congress, and a large number cf citizens, attended at the place of departure from the oiiy, to offer the last testimony of respect to the e rthly remains cf the lamented, chief whose memory will ever be cherished by every true-btarted American. . A detachment of marines, .by order of die President, tttendfd the body as sn escort to North Bend. We -understand that when the order was ad Irrssed to Col. Henderson, (commander of the marine corps,) to furnish the detachment, and to

uesignate an officer to commano it, lie replied that, being himself the senior officer, he conceived it to be most proper and respectful that he should act on the occasion, and accordingly assumed to himself the melancholy duty of heading the escort. The funeral train ariived at Baltimore at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. "Phe Baltimore American, of this morning, says: "The arrival in Baltimore of the body and those who accomp?m:fH! it. was without any previous notice, and but comparatively few of our citizens wi:r:esed its passage from the railroad depot to the City Hotel. The spectacle of th? mortal remains of ihe gallant hero and tried patriot, borne alonj in solemn silence, and followed by the little biail of mourning friends, clothed in funeral habiliment", was truly a striking contrast with the crowds, th shouts, end the joy or. a demonstrations w hich marked his approach to the self-same spot but a few months before." 'Phe American adds: "As soon as the arrival of the body was known, Colonel Hickman tendered to the committee the services of a military guard, to be present with the body while it remained in the city. The Independent Blues were immediately detailed far that service, and on Sunday morning were relieved by the Cataw Infantry. 'The President and Directors of the Baltimore and Susquehann-th Railroad Company have tendered to the committee a special train to convey the remains to Columbia, to leave at 8 o'clock cm Monday morn'mtr. The cars have been appropriately decorated with mourning emblems, and the directors of the road have resolved to uccomnany the commutee io Columbia." -- The Commissioners of the States of Indiana and Illinois have perfected arrangements for the payment cf the July interest. This will have the most beneficial effect on the Stocks abroad, and it evinces a determination to pay at whatever cost. Mississippi is the only state which is dishonored, and this cannot be of long continuation. The people will see that it is eventually their own interest to see that their own Side's honor remains untarnished. Business is dull 3nd exchange exhibits an upward tendency. Sylvester's Reporter. C7The Bank of the United States has sold out to three gentlemen, the Mer chants' Imk, and its assets in New Orleans, which beicreed to the United Stales Bank. Tho sum is said to be seven hun-j dred and fifty thousand dollars, which; amount is given in part by drafts or checks on the Merchants' Bank at a short time. A large amount of these notes have come into the market, and have been sold for cash, and the first rates equal to cash, at 7 per cent, discount. The Bank of the United States will, by this operation, beput in possession of quite a 'srge amount of funds. Whether the tale is a beneficial one or not, is not known. If this is so, the discount 13 25 per cen Express. ECT'The bill, appropriating $25,000 to the family of Gen. Harrison, which passed the IIcusc of Representatives on the 19th inst., was introduced by the Hon. John Quincy Adams. It has the cordial and heartfelt sanction of nine-tenths of the people of the United States. Lou. Journal. ' 'ii 9. Ji dangerous Fire extinguished. Yesterday morning as the Steam boat Monsoon was descending the river, about sixty miles above this city, she tcbk fire over the boilers, and, for a short time certain and sudden destruction appeared to be her doom. Her tiller ropes were burnt ofT, and with the steam up and engine in motion, she ran upon a'bar, when the passengers 'landed. By the intrepidity and presence of mind of the officers and handi, the fire was extinguished, however, with no very material damage, and in a short time she was extricated, and her tiller ropes repaired, and she proceeded on her voyage, and arrived herein the afternoon.

Having dressed themselves and mad ready, they seized cn the moment when the negro man who carries water to the prisoners was going out. Having taken off their shackles f.nd straightened them, they made a rush at the cuter deer at tks moment it was opened to let the negro out. Madison, who was foremen:, struck tho negro on the inside and knocked him down, rushed out and r truck the negro on the outride., across tho breast or bowels. One of them made a blow a: one of th? guard rax: the door, and he fell over a sick man who lay near the door. Madison struck at the other guard and before he could recover, three of them, Madison.
