from office, the fact or the removal shall be stated to the Senate at the same time that the nomination is made, with a statement of the reasons for which such officer may have been removed." These six hills were rcpoi ted in the session pf 1826, and in l hat session it was too late to act upon them During the next session they were n-t called up. The succeeding session Mr. 11. said he was not here, but he understood they had not been called up since. Mr. II. sahl no was pierced that any subject ocrvr-.ed in the Senate, which enabled him to call their attention to this able report of that able. Cliati inan. He ptesumed that that gentleman, as he himself did, entertained the same views now as at that period.

The Executive patronage is increasing, and do what we will, it always will increase, for the more power a President assumes, the more popular will he become. Mr. II was desirous that this inquiry should be instituted, especially in these days of reform, when the people are expecting retrenchment.The People hac been promised this, and we must fulfil that promise. We should inquire whether there ate any useless officers; and if there are any they ought to be discharged. It would seem the land surveyors had nothing to do; not at least for seventy years and upwards. He wished to see whether the land w as valuable or not, St whether surveyors were any longer required If the land is not valuable, why has it been surveyed ? If these officers are useless, we ought to prune and mt to spare the knife. These facts, said Mr.

11. imperatively demand inquiry. lie would not, he said, detain the Senate any longer, as it seemed probable that the subject wou'd conic up again He hoped that no feeling to prevent inquiry would deter gentlemrn from voting for this resolution. He as against employing olltcers who had nothing to do: he was opposed to sinecures Mr. II . concluded by stating, he was willing to facilitate emigration to the West, but that he was opposed to the increase of the Exccu tive patronage, and he hoped that in this respect the gentleman horn Missouri retained his former sentiments Mr. Benton immediately rose when Mr. Holmes sat down, and said that he had seen all- that before; that a newspaper had been sent to him last summer, containing the ex tract from his teport, which the gentleman had read; aluo a train of remarks similar to the gentleman's, and an interrogatory like

his. He had not given any answer to an

anonvmous writer; but since the same pro

cc'-s was gone over in the Senate, and by a Senator in his place, he would reply to it, and say that the two years which followed the

making of that report, were not favorable to

his object that it was an unfirofiitious sea

.n far enlarging the rights of the fieofile.

proceeded to remark upon the suppression ol

inquiry. He denied that there was any at

tempt to suppress on his side, but tather on

i ihc other. He was for discussion, ample

discuasion in full senate, and upon an ap

pointed time Does that look like suppression? Docs it deprive the Senator from Maine ot any right? On the contrary, d ie it i t on! t ge the exercise of hisriglu'? For, if the rt s ilution goes to the comm'.tiee namI for r . lie not beiv 1 mcnl.cr of that Com-.'.-I have n) s. in the iifqni: ; bu us-ud her ', hi- :.kes nls lull pari l)o s he call that suppi es-

be where the land to be surveyed lies. He; hoped, therefore, that an inquiry would be instituted, and a full report upon which the Senate could act, would be made. Mr. Woodbury said he deemed it an aci of comity to accede to the motion made to postpone the consideration of this resolution, especially as the mover and supporter of it had expressed a wish to have the subject dcbated again. But if the time required is refused, he would, with his present knowledge, be disposed to vote against any proposition tending to slop the surveys. He would, he said, treat the subject as an individual private owner would. The public lands belonged to the Union at large, and were deemed valuable property. The Indian title has now

been extinguished to about 100 millions ol acres which have not been surveyed, and individual buyers cannot piakc a selection out of them until the surveys are made, and the lands nut in the market: with a wider field

i to select from, purchasers could accommodate themselves better, and would give a higher price. In addition, he considered it an act of justice to the States : for in some these surveys have done. To stop now would be considered favoritism. It was due to the new States equally to survey the lands; forifthvy are not surveyed and offered for sale, how are they to increase their population, their wealth, and their resources? The public, also, have a deep concern from considerations of sound political economy, that the bett lands should be occupied first.

rhen the same quantity of labor will produce J

larger crops St income Poor lands ought not

to be occupied till they arc the very best un

cultivated in the country. The same inform

ation which he had on this subject; and which

n a like case w.uld govern his private conduct, would now govern his public conduct,

as an agent for the puphc Hut further debate might throw new Jight upon the ques

tion, and, from courtesy to thoscdesiring it, he should certainly vote for the postponement. Mr. Foot said he had not the least objection to postpone the consideration of this resolution although it was an unusual motion to postpone a resolution for inquiry merely, and make it thespecid order of a day. He agreed with the gentlemen from Missouri, that the Southern and Western States were greatly interested in this question the States of Illnois Alabama, Missouri, Mississippi, and Louisiana were; and from these States are all the members cf the committee to which the inquiry would go. As to preventing emigration, or apy hostility to the West, he disclaimed any such intention but he objected to this mode of disposing ol the resolution. Mr Barton said he approved of the suggestion to appoint a Select Committee. The question now was, whether we should goon with the surveys whether the oflicers were properly arranged, or whether there were too many of them. As to going on with the surveys, the officers are already appointed for that purpose. The exploration of the country the making of correct maps of it,

rendered it important to goon with the surveys, whatever m;ph ue decided as to the details oFthr . .i ' miis He said he would nut vcit i t favor ot the postponement of the resolution, but he hoped that a Select Committee would be appointed, instead of sending the inquity to a Standing Committee.

Deeply impressed with a belief, that mankind mi;.;ht be saed a binge amount of suffering and disease, by a suitable knowledge of the natural laws to which the human frame is subjected, they propose laying down plain precepts, in case style and familiar language, for the regulation of all the physical agents necessary to health, and to point out under what circumstances of excess or misapplication they become injurious and fatal. The properties of the a;r, in its several states

of heat, dryness, moisture and electricity, the rcative effects of the different article of solid and

liquid aliments ; the manner in which the locomotive organs, senses, and brain, are most beneficially exercised, and how, and under what circumstances, morbidly impressed ; Clothing, for protection against atmospherical vicissitudes, and a cause of disease, w hen under t!u direction of absurd fashions bathing and frictions, and the use of mineral waters, shall be prominent topics ier enquiry and invest igatiwn in this Journal. The modifying influence of climate and localities, legislation, national and corporation health

a orancn ot study usually designated by the term Medical Police will furnish subjects fraught with instruction, not less than amusing and curious rest arch. The value of dietetic rules shall be continually-

enforced, and the blessings of temperance dwelt

on, with emphasis proportioned to their high importance and deplorable neglect. Physical Edu

cation so momentous a question for the lives of

children, and happiness of their parents shall be discussed in a spirit of impartiality, and with the aid of all the data which have been furnish by

enlightened experience.

I he Journal ot Health wul on all occasions be

found in opposition to empiricism ; whether it by in the form of nursery gossip, mendacious reports of nostrum makes and venders, or recom

mendations of even scientifically compounded

prescriptions, without the special direction of a physician the only competent judge, in the individual case of dicease under his care.

The prevention of diseases incidentally arisintr

from the practice of the different professions, arts

and trades, will be laid down with clearness and precision ; nor shall the situation of those engaged in naval and military life be overlooked in this branch of the subject.

Ui versed ot professional language and details,

and varied in its contents, the Journal of Health

Patrick Henry's opinion of Deism. The view which the rising greatness of our country presents to my eyes, is greatly tar

nished by the general provalcnce of deism; which with me is but another name for vice

and depravity. I am, however much consol

ed by reflecting that the religion of Christ

has, from its tirat appearance in the world,

been attacked in vain by all the wits, philoso

phers, and wise ones aided by every power of

man, and its triumph has been complete. What is there in the wit or wisdom of the present deistical writers or professors, that can compare them to Hume, Shaftsbury, Uolingbroke and others ; and yet these have been confuted, and their fame is decaying ; insomuch that the puny efforts of Paine arc thrown in to prop their tottering fabric.

PROPOSALSBY A. F. MORRISON. FOIt PUBLISHING AT INDIANAPOLIS, A WKEKLY NKWSPAPtR, TO BE ENTITLED THE INDIANA DEMOCRAT. LN ottering these proposals to the public, it is the intention to be brief, explicit and positive. The Democrat will maintain the principles which its title indicates, and may be depended upon as the faithful representative of the feelings of the Democratic Republicans of Indiana ; having for its object, a decided and vigorous support cf the character of the present national administration.

It is not our design to be abusive, vindictive or

ungenerous to our political opponents; but on the contrary to treat respectfully those who may honestly differ with us in their political preferences ; nevertheless, to euard, as far as practi

cable, a virtuous community from the schemes of political temporizers and traffickers, who, under the garb of patriotism, would esteem a free

people, but as vassals of their will and tributaries

their ambition. The establishment of a genuine Jackson paper at the Metropolis of Indiana, has long been a desideratum with the Democratic Republicans of he State, and frequent solicitations to the Editor, who now proposes to comply with the desires of the party, have induced him to dispose of the Republican Statesman," in Clark County, and again to trust his fate in the hands of his political friends, by asking their patronage in a mere extended sphere. On the known uniformity of his character as a lackscn man in the two most recent contests for the presidency, and his experience as the conductor of a public journal, the Editor might, as he conceives, safely rest his claims to the confidence of the party, in whose cause he early enlisted and for whose success he fearlessly contended; but for their entire satisfaction he will state, that the Democrat may be relied upon as the accredited and correct channel for the dissemination of the sentiments of the party, entirely devoted to its interests ; and that it will, on all occasions, stand firm in the support of all its virtuou? officers and measures. The Democrat will be issued on a larg5, fine
