Mr. Pickens, sfter remarking 011 the wide extent of the resolution, and the miseellnneoua and complicated character of the information for which it applied, sttg* geaicd to the gentleman who had moved it that his ohjoat would be as well obtained, and in a more expeditions manner too, by changing the fonn ol hts resolution 10 a call in the usual form on the heads ot reaoective Departments for tbe facta lie wmlied to obtain. ll the gentleman declined doing this, let him at jeast •nfTar his resolution lo lift on ihe tnhle and bo printed.

Mr. Wise doubled the resolution's being in order, on tlie ground of incongruity between the aniuuumcut and the original reaolntion. ....

Mr. Mai lory moved to fldjoarm but waived Inswalion at the request of— Mr. W. W. Irwin, who observed that the object W Which his own resolution relerred was one ol national

iTwnsI^ *L resolution, aalw had propossH it. did not involve the question of the eonstitutionility of works of internal improvement within the Slates by the General Uovem mem. but had reference to an object which eon* earned the entire country, and was strictly of a national character, being the improvement ol a great national highway which po.wrl through eight or ten of the States of this Union. Mr. I. had no objection jo the

obtainlngt tho information sought in the amendment fl by the gentleman from Kentucky, (Mr. ,) and if that gentleman would move the refer *noeif lii* call to a aeicct committee* or wouM ao mo dify It as to convert it into a call on Iho heads of the

proposed Smiao,

appropriate Departments, he would cheerfully vote lor it: but lie suggested to the honorable mover of the amendment tliat its effect would be to embarrass the resolution not only, hut to embsrrasa no less the object itself .which ihe resolution contemplated, and in whicli lie was tvnll assured that gentlemen must kel a com.nion interest with others from the West.

Mr. Thompson, of Indiana, united with the gentleman from South Carolina (Mr Pickwss) in urging the gent toman from Kentucky (Mr. Sprioc) to withdraw his resolution, or to consent to modifv it. Aa it atood, iheamendment would greatly, pcrhaj fatally, encumber the resolution it rendered it so extensive, and call* ed for such a variety of facts, that the brief

session

which thev had entered Would pass over bufore any re* ixrt eotild be pr*-parcd in replv to it. Such a report Xlr. T. should like lo heart but it would take too long time to nisk* iho propoeed invesiigstion. 1 he nhj«*i propoeed in the original one was specific and isolated, and he very ra&h disliked having so mamy hers mixed up with it. trusted the gentleman would ae prevailed on to withdraw the amendment.at a proper Mate it woald giva,Mr. T. pleasure to uuite with him in urging it. Mi\ was not afraid to trustthe Commiue^ba Commeroe anth a subject like that hi the resolutiory but'at tlie same lime he could not hut think that it waa one which had greater interest for gentlemen coming from the Western and South* western portions of the Uaion. What he especially desired in this matter was an expression of Western ttinioii. Those, it was true, were net works of a Ii* mi tod ami local character, hut si ill thsv were works in which Western men were lifcetv to feel the nearest and most immediate concern. He hoped to see the opinion of the West and Southwest fairly sxpreased, •o that all might lie induced to come up and aid the measttr* bv their etipoor*. He was, on tbSse grounds, ia tavor t»f referring tne subject to a select committee, eompnsod of geatleitisn selected from that portion of the Union mo*» especially interested ia tbe snort#* ol the tnas^tira. He had thereforajwoved his amendment imMr. IMlmom observed that the portion of the Pre*tdMH message which related to those improvements Had not escaped his attention, and he would take this dppormuitv of saving 10 those who were friendly the object, that ho doubted very mach thetr purpose being aided by the proposed reference to a celeet «m* mittee.

°°The question then recurfing on tbe resolution of Mr. Irwin, as modified— Mr. Thompson, ol Indiana, moved to amend it Dy striking out "the Committee on Roads and Canals," and inserting "a select committee."

Mr- McKennan(chairman of theComtnittefe on Roads and Canals) expressed bimftelf as unwilling to sur^n* d^r the subject proposed to be referred to that committee, and to whom it appropriately belonged, to any other.

Mr. Thompson assured the honorable chairnwn rtfct he had no thought of casting the remotest reflation upon that highly respectable committee. He could not have had for he had not known till that moment of whom it consisted, or that the honorable gentleman from Penney! vania was at the head of it. His course had been dicmied solely by a sense of duty to his conftitSents. Ho waa aware that, for years past, the various propositiona belonging to iho seversl branches of

the general subjiwt 01 internal improvement had leen referred to standing commitireg of tho^ House in manner eta tod by the gentleman from

New

Mutlfirac

say wbkh

York, and

that those committees nad matured bills accordingly but he was also aware that none of the measures propoeed in these bills had ever been consummated. The whole West was becoming clamorous on the subject, and all he wanted was, as ne had before said, a lair «xprnmion of Western sentiment in regard to it. lie hoped that the honorable gentleman from Pennsy vania, (Mr. McKennnn.) who waa so indefatigable in the able and faithful diacharge of all hia daty in that House, would acquit him of all intention, by the remotest implication, 10 cast any censure upon him or the committee over which he presided nothing, certainly, had been further from Mr. T.*s purpose.

Mr. Pickens said that lie should vote for the amendment propoeed by the gentleman from Indiana, (Mr. Thompson,) and he waagthd that gentleman had put this matter on its true foortag as measure of peculiar and local interest. fA laugh.J

Mr. Thompson said he was ready arid Wilhag to meet the gentleman from South Carolina wub all lua legal wfiilfa '^e "nrie^nHi'8«i ewieaS^omod so much to boSaf in one of Her most distifiguiwisd sons, (Mr Cnlhinm,) had, in eecommending such great works as the improvements or our harbors, roals, and rivers, ao far forgottoii itKelf osto recommend to the patronage of thaMjjgoatirnment ''mere local interests." {Renewed

Mr Pickens said that in offering to second the gentleman's amendment, he had taken him upon hia own ground.

Mr. TRotnpson said hs felt under great obligation to lite honorable gentleman for his great seal in favor of Western interests. He should take back nothing of what be had said. He had characterised these works as natiunal in their character, but as being of special interest to Western men, and in sotne degree local, because the roads and streams to be improved ran for the most part among Western people. They were at least as national in tneir character as light-houses on the coast. Did the geiulemun consider Aeseas local matters metal? When tbe measures should be presented fer discussion and action in tbe House, il the honorable gentleman would give it the same support he now professed to the amendment, the peopleof the West would duly appreciate his warm regards In the meanwhile he must take leave lo congratulate the honorable and distinguished gentleman from South Carolina on his return to his State's first love, and to iho one favorite scheme of her illuatrious citizen.

Mr- Pickens would repeat that he was willing to go with the gentleman from Indiana for his amendment. According to his understanding of the order of business in that House, general and standing committees were appointed for tho consideration of subjects of general interert hHt when a subject of merely local and panic* ular interest was to be reported on, he should always go for the raising of a select committee. As the gentleman had put this matter on that ground, Mr. P. took him at his word, and should support bis amendment for a select committee. As to the future lie was not now prepared to commit himself. [This game of parliamentary battledoor occasioned a good deal of pleasantry in the House.]

Mr. Sprigg said the object of the gentleman from In* diana in his amendment waa plain and palpable. The gentleman went exclusively for the intwreaisof hisown section of country, and especially of his own State And it would not be considered that a general regard for Western iateresia would bind any Western man to jco.with him. Indiana had had bw full share of the public monev and tbe public lands. She got it under the distribution act.

Fosmcff, of New York, seaman, the only survivor two men were drowned in the forecastle when she capsized, and six had died of hunger and thirst, and Fosdick was in a helpless state, unable to stand, and could not have survived but a short tinfe. ltappears from FosHick's statement that ho remained forty'nine days on the wreck, with little Or no food. A little flour was washed up from the hold, which they collected, wet with salt water, and dried in the sun and ate. It was known that there was a canister of salmon, preserved in oil, in the cabin. Fosdick dove down several times and succeeded in obtaining six, on which they lived for some time. After that nothing remained to support life. Of the seven that remained, it is remarkable that the most fleshy, and apparently tbe strongest, died first. Every thing was done by Fosdick to keep up* the spirits of his com panions, but they failed one after another, and aft so6n as hope flod, they yielded and died. When the weather was at aH rough, they were obliged to take to the foretop and lash themselves there, to remain till it became calm. They had now all perished but two— Fosdick and a companion, who were in the top chhj dark night when it began to raih Fosdick readied over to where his companion lay to rou*e him to obtain a few drops of water as it foil, but found him dead. In the morning he cut him loose, art he fell into the tea. He then remained alone six days before he was taken off by Captain Kimball. He is now ia com(orti$bIe. quarters at tho Seaman's Home, Boston.

PHYSICAL IMPROVEMENT. "v "We hear much or the improvement of our age. Tha wonders achieved by machinery are the common taik of every circle hut I confess that, to me, this ga* tlwring of mechanics' apprentices, whose chief bond of union is a library, and who come togetlur weekly to refresh and improve themselves by the best instruction which the state of society places within their reach, is more encouraging than all the miracles of the machinist. In this meeting I see, what I desire most io see, that the mass of the people are beginning to im. prehend themselves and their true happtneas that tbey are catching glimpses of the great work and vacation of human beings, and are rising to their true place in the social state. The present meeting indicates afar more radical, more important change in the world, than the steam engine, or ihe navigation of the Atlantic in a fortnight. Tliat members of ihe laboring class, at the close of a day's work, should assemble in such a hall as this, to hear lectures on science, history, ethics, and the most stirring topics of the day. from men whose education is thought to fit them for the highest offices, is a proof of a social revolution, to which no bounds can be set, and from which too much cannot be hoped. I see'in it a repeal of the sentence of degradation passed by ages on the mate of mankind. I see in it the dawn of a now era, in which it will be .understood, that ihe first object of society is to give incitements and means of progress to sll its members.

I see in it the sign of the approaching triumph of man's spiritual over their outward and material interests, fn the hunger and thirst for knowlege and for refined pleasures, which this conrse of lectures indicates In those who labor. I see that the spirit of man is not always to be weighed down by toils for animal life, and by the appetite fot animal widulgenciei, I do attach great importance to this meeting, not for its own sake or itsimmfdiaie benefits, but asa token and pledge of a new imputse eivert to society through all its Conditions Oi this account I lake more plsasuro in speaking here, than 1 shoald feel in being summoned to pronounce a show-oration before all the kings and no* bles on earth. In froth, it iartime to have done with shows- The age is ton stirring,,we sre Presapd on by too solemn interests, to be justified in making speeches for self-display or mere amusement.

WItIG PROSPECTS* opponents may deem us insidcere,

when we declare that, notwithstanding tbe clustering signs of prosperity that hang around the doctrines of Weofocoism, we feel an abiding confident* it) the ultimate success of whig principles, and have no doubt, whatever, but that victory will perch upon our banner in 1844. There Sre a fetf, a very faw, despon* dent whigs in this State and elsewhere* who love to contemplate the gloomy side of the picture, and sitting down with folded arms and gloomy brows, to eroak over apprehended disasters. But it is a cheering truth, that the great body of the national whig party are animated by the liveliest hopes of success, and unwaveringly resolved, to battle to the last in defence of principle. Our brayo columns are us steady now as they were in 1S40, and the united mass is animated by as much devotion and constancy as it is possible to inspire in the hearts of men. Those wlio are associated in tin effort to promote human happiness and prosperity, and to preserve the liberties of a great people, should never falter in their high and noble purpose. Even though a triumphant faction of demagogues should plant its victorious banner upon tho oapitol of eve* ry State in the confederacy as one whig, so far from relaxing oar efforts, we shoald only feel stimulated Ry renewed exertion, in-order to regaiwanw*ioi gtuuwifc* Tmpresaed vnift-*, most firm and clear convicting that the politico ^principles for whioh our party contend, have their foundation in truth and democracy, nnd that the success of those principles will tend to advocate the liberty and happiness and honor of our country, we have never thought for a moment, of relaxing our humble efforts in the good cause nor will we do so as long ns one plank of the vessel is afloat. And let our opponents be well assured that these are the feelings of all true whigs. It is not to be expected that a wronged and persecuted party, that has already outlived twelve long yean of grinding oppression, will suddenly abandon their position, when victory is within their readi. Who does not remember how tho devoted whig party of the United States—then a mere handful of men-—like Spartan pat* riots, maintained ao unequal contest with tbe thick hosts of Jacksonisnt for long years Who has forgotten that they struggled on in the midst of the most inauspicious circumstances that ever surrounded a party that they endured tho greatest oppression and braved the thickest clouds of detraction, without yielding one inch of ground to their vaunting opponents By the energy of unaided truth, our party now embraces a majority of the freemen of the land. On a recent oooasion we met our once powerful and inaolent opponents in a great pitched battle, ami victory perched upon the whig standard. We have the power to produce a like result again-—• why shall that power not be exerted There is, in truth, nothing calculated to restrain tbe anl6f of a single whig. The States have gone ognmst us, but what of that 1 They went a* gainst us pending the coolest of 1840, and yef when tlie great bottle came onthe whigs werft proudly triumphant. y:t
