ihe Editor, dated

WASHINGTON, JANUAIIY 2, 1835.

Dear Sir: I have just returned from the Capitol, where I listened to a part of an animated debato whioh sprung upon a resolution offered by Mr. Runnolds of Illinois, to change the mode of voting in the House from 1 ballot to viva voce. The object is fully understood to be to bear uptho approaching Election for Printer. The friends of Blair, knowing how odious bo is to many of his own party, wish to place their troops in a situation where bolting is out of the question, and where, if at ull rcfractory the lash can be applied,and they made to feel.

The question now occupies the position of an administration measure, and, as such, will probably pass. It is well understood that many of tho administration members wish to vote for Gales and Seaton, but having tho fear ef the Globe and Kitchen Cabinet before their eyes,

they dare not There was great rejoicing yesterday morning when the news arrived that Louisiana had elcct-

jacV£Son Senator in the pluce of Mr. Wag

term of service expires on the 4th

of March next. As an offset, however, they have lost all hopes of Rhode-Island. The party are evidently in a quandfcry. Judge White's nomination by the Legislature of Alabama, &c., and Mr. Webster, by Massachusetts, gives an entirely new aspect to things..jThe Tennessee mem bers are *aid to obstinately rejcct any attempt at compromise,and Judge White says that ho is in the haads of bis friends, and neither seeks or

Correspondence of the N. Yotk Journal of Commerce WASHINGTON, JAN. 16, 1S35. The annual meeting of the American Colonization Society was held last evening, in the Hall of the House of Representatives. The Chair was taken by Mr. Clay, who called the meeting to order. It appeared, from the statements of the Treasurer, that the receipts of the Society, during the past year, had been about 23,000 dollars, in contributions, and 12,500 dollars in stocks, amounting to 35,5)0 dollars that the expenditures had been nearly the same, the bal ance in the Trensnry being 352 dollars and tht debt of the Society which was last year, 40,000 dollars, was now about 20,000 dollars.

Mr. Custis spoke nearly, an hour, and was followed by Mr. Southard of New Jersey, who delivered a practical, sensible and animated discourse on the subject of bis individual feeling in regard to the Society, in connexion with his view of its most important objects and interests. 1 be first Resolution" approved of the course of the Board of Managers of the Society, and recommended the pursuance of the sftgtie economical administration of its conccrns unlil the whole debt was paid off. The second recommended an increased attention to agricolt*el pursuits and domestic and household iniTnsiiy in the colony and the third was in favor of the adoption of measure* for the survey of the interior of the country, with a view to tho formation of settlements in places more salubrious than the vicinity of tho coast, and better adapted to the pursuit# of agriculture. In his estimate of the advantages derived from the colony Mr. Southard placed in a prominent point of view the suppression of the slave trade, in aid of which the colony has already done more than all Christe».dooi beside.

Before the house adjourned we had* a scene of more than common interest in tbe hall of repre seiwatives. A large party of theCreek tribe of Indians are ia Tuscaloosa «t this time, on their way to Arkansas,under the conduct of Col. Hun"t erf The agent, and anriricinal chief ofthc nation Sttined Mifa&td*,'-

A motion was made by Mr. Jackson to invite the chief and his warriors within the bar of the house^ agreed to unaiiioiously. Mr. Jjickson was thcri instruct«Hl to eonvey the invitation of the house. #The Chief and his warriors arere then conducted ln aiid seated themselves in chairs arransied.arouqd the hall below tbe loWjpr tier of

Extfawla then addressed the '•use from his seat in substance pretty n^uch as 1^1 lows—he spoke in the Creek laft^bKge, Whicfc W*af interpreted from time to time as he proceeded b^r Col. Hunter. Tbe effect upon Ihe'hoiise and cilery was solemn nnd interesting. Tf1®^.tear started in more eyes than one. The chief is an Indian of fine appearance—his aspect grave—his voice low and subdued—his words Slow. He proceeded: "I come hwthers to see the great bou«e of Alabama, and the men that make the law*, and tell them tarewell in brothei Iv kindness before I go to the far west, where uiy people are now going-

I did think alone time that the white man wanted to opffrew rav people and drive thetu from their homes by c»in(5cHing them to obey the laws that they did not understand—but I have hew become satiefSed^ that they are not unfriendly towards us, but that tliey wish us well. In these lands v*f Aluhama, which have been mv forefather's, tyhere their bones lie buried,'I sec that lne_ Indian fire? are goiu}{ out—theyjjuust. soon b^extinjruisbea. New fires are lighting in the west—and we w(ll go there.

When Enfaxla concltulod, there was a peal of applause through the hoil^e and pallery. 'i'he speaker replieil in a'handsome nnd appropriate manner to the address of the chief, briefly adverting to the cause of the extension of our jurisdiction and slating the advantages of a removal, to the Indian tribes. After ^hich the bers rising from their seats, asa token of rothe chief and his warriors retired. The reply of the speaker-was interpreted t« the chief by one of the chiefs, a half breed, by no^ne Giayeon.

A duel wns fought"to-day nt'12 o'clock, a few miles from this city, between Mr. Wise', a member of tho II. R., and Mr. Coke, late a member of thesnme body, both froin Virginia. Mr. Wise succeeded Mr. Coke :is repre*eiitiitive in Conrcss, and it.is supposed, thut the difliculty originated during the canvjiss, they being competitors. One jirc only was passed—at the distance of 24 feet. Mr. Wife'sfire, took effect—first striking the firm of Mr. Coke, and then passing into his body. Tho wound is supposed not to be mortal.

P. S. It-is ascertained, that Mr, Coke is not CVen ns seriously injured, as was at first supposed. The ball of Mr. Wise, striking the elbow, which was considerably injured, had not sulficient force to enter the body, with which it came in contact.
