From the PiiUJclfihii Gazette Murc'i 5 Our letters from Washington are advan tagcously distinguished, in both matter and manner, from those, which have appeared in some other papers. Cut that they will be equally popular is not probable 'There is nothing in them calculated to gratify the appetite vv liich appears to be pretty strong among a portion of newspaper readcis lot idle gossip on the private o flair:, cf public cf-

the session, it. given with commendable, bre

vity. ' I cannot concur in opinion with these who think the protracted argument upon Mr, Foot's resolution which has engaged the Senate during the last five weeks, of little intrinsic importance, and the lime which has been occupied in the discussion as uselessly employed. Now that it has been divested in a great degree cf the personal- and sectional alterations, and recriminations, with which its early progress was so strongly marked, and has been brought back to some definite question of policy and constitutional law, it may safely be asserted that tew circumstances dur.ng the last filtccn years, have had more gene! a importance, or promised more extensive and eng? ossing results. The great doctrines cf constitutional definition involving the history and origin of our government, the formation and the limits of its powers, on which the nature, herhaps the permanency of our institutions depend so vitaily, are subjects about which no doubt

which 13 removable should be permitted to cxiit, which should be settled beyond cavil, so far as, human foresight can provide, and concerning all the disputed points of which, the fullest freedom and frequency ol discussion should be encouraged. The political fustoiy of our country is full of prool that among our ab est and best statesmen and jurists wide difTerencco of opinion have always existed, upon some of the most essential ptir.ciples by which the constitution should be administered. These differences have constantly agitated and alarmed the country, have created jealousies and heartburnings and strifes among the several pans of the Union, have unsettled the pinciples o! legislation and state policy, and thus weakened the stability of the government, as they have disturbed the bar mony of the Union 1 am thereloie gra'dhVd ihat so solemn a mal ter has been gravel) taken up in the .Senate of the United Stales, and I hope thai ihc lorce, learning and eloquvice. w hich have been brought 10 hear upon the subp ct. wiji make the issue up for final decision. F.om no other ooui ce could the . gumc nis come with greater force ol talent or weight of influence; and insomuch as it is above ail things important in our government that the piinciples upon which i; rests should be accurate ly defined and well settled, 1 cannot but think the Sciu.te mei ltoi iously employed in inves tigatmg and analyzing the subject so tln.t t people, lor whom alone both the piinciples and the discussions exist, and by whom in some lorm, the final determination must be pronounced, may proceed lo judgment with lull know ledge. I was from other engagements unable to hear the speeches of Judge Rowan, Mr. Holmes and Mr. Barton. The sp ech of Mr, Barton you of course have seen report cd, and rcpunted with so much exultation,

by many of the opposition papeis. You winr

thereloie understand my reasons fot saymg that 1 do not rtgict my absence fiom the scene ofsuch an extraordinary and unbe coming display. The charactersof our pub lie bodies, and the reputation of out country, suffer deeply by such outrages upon decorum committed in the gravest assembly of our lawriv ers, and statesmen. No man whose patriotic sensibilities have not been distroytd by the txacttbations of party rancor and par ty collision would desire to be piescnt upon so humiliating an occasion, yet a certain portion of the press i found to re-pubiish with commendation and exultation, this coarse, personal, malignant invective which a Senator horn a powerful state, lises in his seat and pours forth for hours, against a brother Senator, his own colleague. This is an apt illustration of the "arder civium firava juhcntiuiti." Strange and unbecoming as was the extra ordinary style of Mr. Barton's oratory; it was outdone by the gentleman from Indiana, the Hon James Noble, whose speech on Mondaylast, (the J2d ult.) it was my chance to hcai; and 1 solemnly aver that never in the whole course of my life, in any place or on any oc casion did 1 hear so incoherent and abusivt a harangue. Fom the beginning to the end it was a succession of abuse against public men, whcic names were not at all connected with the subject, and who had not been til hided to before by any person in the debate, more especially Cien. Jackson and Mr Van Bui en, the Utter ot lom he assailed by name with the coarest epithets; he called him a hypocrite, a political swindler, a counterfeit politician, a disgi ace to the country, a mean, contemptible, pitiful sniviler, with half a score more equally complimentary names. When he had concluded this exquisite specimen of ehajuence which was two hours lon, he formjdy gave notice to the Scneorsfrom Nev? Y'erk, that he kept himself in reserve

by every bodv. Mr. Ben'on has overshad-

owed him in Missouri his Star is on the wane, while his colleague is on the ascendtnt; hence, the open rantor ol his attack. But Gen. Nuble's attack upon an absent functionary of government was uncalled loi, by any party oxpedicucy, or personal collision; it was a nitre ebullition of parly hatred, with out cause, and wi'hout palliation. Mr. Noble was followed in debate by Messrs, Woodbury, Smith, of S C and Giundy, who have brought back the argu ment to the co.istitutional questions from which it had bcin diverted from the cxtravagences of Ma ss's Noble and Barton. Much curiosity had existed to hear, Mr. Woodbury, as the only Senator from New England in fa vor of the present administration, and w;h had therefore been the object of much re proach from his associate?! as a recreant to

theis cause, and a deserter to the eide ot thtiy southern opponents. His speech wasanablQ vindication of his own course, m d cannot faiV to have a conciliating efl'cct in New England.

He conun ed very ju -1 ly tl a he aigumen had been disu genuously i.nd unnecessrily made to have a sectional cl.aiac cr. and that t lie general defence of New Engluud by her Senators was in the first place not called fop by the occ;6ion, the attack having been tnado not upon the east, but upon a party which happened to predominant in the east, the principles and chaiacter of which have been always denounced and opposed by a largo portion ot the east itself. In the second question he and those who followed him, labored successfully to shew that a defence of the east was not nttessarily an at ack upon the south, and that a large part of New Ei land is decidedh favorable 10 what are ca led Southern and Vitginia prircip es and opt posed to what ate sweepirgiy and disingen uously cahed New England principles His, whole aim, and in this he is deserving of all praise, was to disarm the controversy of the sectional weapons which had been forced in

to it, and to replace it upon the original points of contention. He was followed by Mr. Smith, of S. C and Mr. Grundy, of '1 ennc stte, who in'ro duced another contested topic into the discuasion, which has ivi'i it a new impetus.There scem to be but little doubt that the debate will bring out many tr.oie speakers, Mr. Clajton has occupied ' floor to-day, Mr. Johnson is to succeed him. and Mr. Holmes will follow his in his third speech. Mr Webster to- k notes of Mr Grur ey's arguments and will pr'obhbly sp ak again Mr Tazewell is also supposed to be in rcadU ness. ri he coi flirt will notecase acrotuing to any probable estimate, for many weeks Tht new 'opic of which I spoke, was he question st much urgd in the epprshi n newspapers of the corsthu'ional pow ol tl q P. eside.nl in maku g removals from office du ting the recess. It has been gt-neially ut deistood here, that this n attct has been contested closely, in seciet session. Mr. Holmes, Irom the mam er in which he tl ankd Mr. Grundy for introducing thot fcji? therty appears leady to enter vigorously upon the new argument. You nu.y have seen sundry accounts of the grounds of the refusal on the part ot tht Senate to confirm the nomination of Mi. Williams as Collector ol New Bcdb r So ar as hey have transpired they seem tc be th se. His nomination had been favoiably lcpomd upon by the committee of the Senate and was expected to pass as r gularly as the others. When it was brought up for coi firrrarion, one of the opposi'ion Senators (Mr, Wchsiei ) asked upon wha: principle the case ot Mr. Williams was made an exception to the gi neral mle which had been adopted by this administration of excluding If om office, the frirndsot the Hartford Convention It was further staled that Mr illiams l ad been a Harttoid Convention Ffd ralist dot it g the war. Hs name w.a consequently thro v. ti out bv the Senate, tu eler the impression, i: is believed, that the President hud been imposed upon, in nominating him. Y u l ave also seen that a ruction for reccn sidera1. on had been made- Tin grounds cf he motion are understood to be., 'hut the charges thus made against him and by which his nomination was .os',are capable ot complete refutation. His liitndsaay that though a Federalist, he was supp rter cf the measures of government dining the war, and nev--er had any connexion with the Hartford Convention in any snape; thai he was active iu soothing the party conflicts, and actually iloI. arms against the enemy, although legally exempt from that duty. Some of these documents I have seen, and they are highly favcr.b'c to the chaiacter and pattioiim cf Mr. Williams. II his tn'irc testimony bears i ini out in these facts, theic can l;c co doubt tint
