Thus it is now with gallant Harry of the W He himself where he is with all imaginable anxiety preparing tor the coming contest, girt about and supported by a very remarkable influence, which no one ean overlook, and which has been devel- oping itself gradually, in very strong and marked features, during the last few years, und chiefly yugh the agency of the New York Tribune, con- dactedby Mr. Philosopher Greeley, who has been Acuing as nurse to this new creation—a dry-nurse to be sure, bu. a most attentive, affectionate, and faith- ful dry-nurse. We allude, as most of our readers will perceive, to the great element of Fourierism— ul transcendentalism—or antediluvian al- ative industry—or the transition period of civil- tion, or whatever else you please to call it. Ac- cording to all appearances this new element of pe lities and civilization will enter very largely into the next Presidental contest. Indeed the election of Mr. Clay is thus rendered quite certain. The alliance of this new system of philosophy and its distinguished leaders, dry-nurses, and supporters, will unquestionably carry Clay against all the forces which Van Buren, the devil, and all their allies,can bring into the field.

But, though the true system of Association cannot be adopted at present, yet itis contemplated immediately to subject industry to an organization—to introduce at once those elements of a true industrial mechanism,which even Civilization admits of, and of which it sometimes avails it- self, especially for purposes of destruction. Perhaps our object cannot be more intelligibly explained than by sta- ting that it is proposed to organize an Industrial Army, Waich, instead of ravaging and desolating the earth, like the armies of Civilization, shall clothe it luxuriantly and beautifully with supplies for human wants—to distribute this army into platoons, companies, battalions, regiments, vhich promotion and rewards shall depend, not upon ess in spreading ruin and woe, but upon energy and efficiency in diffusing comfort and happiness—in short, to invest Labor, the Creator, with the dignity which has’ so long impiously crowned Labor the Destroyer and the Murderer. so that men shall vie with each other, not in devastation and carnage, but in usefulness to the race.

BrLoyry Fxiuenps— By your consent and advice, Iam called upon to make choice of those among you to aid me in establishing in this place a community of property and interest, by waich We may be brought into love relations, through which plenty (and) intelligence may be ultimately secured to all (the) Inhabitants of this globe. To accomplish this great work there are but very few, in consequence of their original organization, structure of mind, education, ha- bits, and preconceived opinions, who are at the present time adapted to work out this great problem of human re- demption. All who come together for this purpose should be united in thought and feeling on certain fundamental principles, for without this acommunity of property would be but a farce. Therefore, it may be said With great pro- priety that the success of the experiment will depend upon the wisdom exhibited in the choice ef the materials as agents to its accomplishment, Without going ixto the detail of the principles upon which this Community isto be established, 1 will state briefly afew of the fundamental principles, which I re- gard as essential to be assented to by every ‘applicant for admission. Ast. Reticion.—A disbelief in any special revelation of God to man, touching his will, and thereby binding upon man as authority in any arbitrary sense—that all forms of worship should case—that all religions of every age and nation, have their origin in the same great falsehood, viz : That, while we admire the precepts attributed to Jesus of Nazareth, we do not re- gard them as binding because uttered by him, but because they are true in themselves, and best adapted to promote the happiness of the race. Therefore, we regard the Sab- bath as other days—the organized Church, as adapted to ~the clergy, an imposition—the Bible, as no authority— miracles, a8 unphiiosophical—and salvation from sin, or from punishment in a future world, through a crucified God, as a remnant of heathenism. and. Goverymesr disbelief in the rightful exis- tence of all governments based upon physical lorce—that they are organised bands of banditti, whose authority is to be disregarded. Therefore, we will not vote uader such governments, or petition to them, but to demand them to disband—do no military duty—pay no perso ty taxes—sit upon no juries—refuse to testif| s0 called justice ; aud never appeal (o the law for a zedres. | of grievances ; but use all peaceful and moral meons t secure their complete destruction 3rd.

The extensive, and protracted struggle—of which he had detailed some of the principal movements in his last leeture—was car- ried on in various partsof Enrope and with various success. Fora time the advantage remained al- most wholly upon the side of the people. In France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, in a great part of Germany, and throughout the western part of Eu- rope, the people succeeded in revolatienizing the governments which existed, and in founding others of a more liberal character upon their ruins. Great Britain, however, formed an exception to this re- mark, because the revolution of 1688 had accom- modated the form of government there in a great degree to the wishes of the people and the altered condition of society, so that they (the people) had less cause for complaint, and consequently ee zeal and power upon the popular side. At length, how- ever, the legitimists prevailed; they carned back the war into the enemies territory, and they planted the standard of their head quarters upon the site of the revolution in Paris. This change of fortune, nevertheless, was more apparent than real; it was owing to a change in the opinions and feel- ings of the people in reference to the character and proceedings oF their own champion. Napoleon. essentially a mere soldier, forgot, in his professional zeal for war, the duties that belonged to his politi- cal situation, for, instead of relieving the people from the oppressions under which they were suf- fering, and admitting them to a share in the admin- istration of government, he monopolized the whole power in hisown person, and exercised a degree of oppression which they had never suffered from legitimist rulers. They found that the only object tor which Napoleon employed his splendid. military talents, was the aggrandizement of himself and family; they, therefore, lost all attacltment to his person and interest in his success. For a long time he felt himself that he had no friend in France except the army; and even his Marshals began to grow we ary, declaring that he would never rest till he had slain them all. In the foreign coun- tries, under his influence, the feeling was even more distinct, as was shown by the establishment of ** The League of Virtue” inGermany. In short, the position ef the two parties was completely re- versed; the liberal party relied for success upon military organization, while the established govern- nents relied for their strength upon the zeal for li- berty and imdependence which animated the mass of their subjects. The result again showed the su- veriority of moral motive—the ascendancy of causes over mere material and physical ones. T' ame tide of popular feeling that had curried the Freach orward in (riumph, in the first instance, no sooner flowed Opposite direction than it brought the allies to the ai of France; victory followed in both cases the stan- uh ple, the only diference being that in the standard of the people was erected ’ ves in the French capital, whilst at the close of ie struggle it passed over to the allies. ‘These causes had very amportant influence, The allies having obtained | aviv victory inthe name of liberty and of the rights of iva, they Could not, consistently, leave that idea out o1 jew in the arrangements fora general pacification. _In ance the exiled Bourbons were restored, andthe prin- cipal alterations in the law called for by the National As no compensation shall be demanded for our labor if we should ever leave. 4th, MangiaGe.—That we regard marriage as a true re- lation growing out of the nature of things, repudiating licentionsness, fornication, concubinage, adultery, bigu- ny, and polygamy—that marriage is designed for the hap- piness ef the parties, and to promote love and virtue.

Tothese views we hereby affix our respective signatures.

As we never read that print unless by accident, we cannot say posi- tively that such a paragraph has appeared, but as the intelligence which we have received comes, although rather circuitously, with some authenti- city, we will take it for granted that it has appear- ed in that paper, and treat it accordingly. Now, in relation to the statement that we made | with regard to the reports of the “‘Herald” and that of the **Courier,” we reiterate it with more empha- sis, and more conviction of its uuth, than we did | in our previous statement. There is not a possi- | bility of doubt to any reasonable man who will | compare the two reports, but that the “Courier & Enquirer” stole bodily the report first published in | the “Herald,” and passed it off for its own, merely | making a few verbal variations, und a few addi- | tions, which a little more time would have per- mitted usto do. The speech was not delivered till half past eleven, yet we had it written out and in type by two o'clock. ‘The very reason which the “Courier” gives to its readers, that the ‘Herald’s” report could not have been used by the “Courier,” is precisely the best reason for believing the con- trary; and after this confusion of ideas we ar | more than ever convinced of the meanness, and |littleness, and falsehood, of our respectable con {temporary.

It was therefore not unnatural, under these sireumstances that the people should watch with extreme ealousy the execution of this contract. If Charles the Tenth had fulfilled his part of it, probably he would have prevented the violent confusion and disastrous result to timself which took -place in the three days. Mr. Ever- ott then rapidly reviewed the events of the period inter- vening between the granting of the charter and the nen ipal persons who took part in accomplishing those -vents, remarking in the words of Talleyrand, that the Bourbons upon their return to Krance, evinced by their conduct that they had learned nothing, and forgot no- ching. They brought back with them all their antiqua- ted prejudices and personal antipathies which they had aken away, Without having’ derived any useful [lesson {rom their long tuition in the school of adversity. It was but justice, however, that Louis the 18th, who first occu- ied the throne, formed an exception, for he declared at he outset of the revolution in favor of the popular party,and he remained attached through life to liberal opi- ions. He was in fact considered the author of the charter, ind was consequently popular with the people. He was liverted, however, from acting upon it ashe wished by he importunities fof his family, the fatal consequence of which was, the return of Napoleon, the hundred days,and zeneral convulsion up to the period of his second assump: tion of the throne in 1815. His policy then wore a libe- ral aspect ; he was determined upon carrying out the charter. This excited the disgust of the Compte D’Artois, brother of the King and heir to the ihrone, the prince who afterwards lost the throne under the name of Charles the Tenth. Here followed a well drawn character of this monarch, who was shown to be possessed of high intellec- tual, physical and moral advantages, disfigured by ultra and’ most violent royalist. principles ; had his principles been different, his personal advantages, Mr. Everett said, would, in all probability have rendered him a very popu- sovereign. The leaders of the royalist and liberal par- both political and literary, were then sketched, and their power over the public mind estimated, from which it was evident that if not all the talent, at least all the ar- ‘ument and reason lay upon the side of the liberal writers. n the mean time the people of the other States to whom similar charters had been promised, finding themselver deluded, exhibited symptoms of disaffection and rebellion, 80 that indications of mischief were brewing over almost I Europe. At last on the first of January, 1820, an army of 10,000 men, which had been collected at Cadiz to | proceed ‘to America to reconquer the Spanish Colonies, declared themselves against the rovernment, and for the Cortes of 1812; and the King of Spain found it necessary to sign thie constitution. Events of a similar character took place in Naples, Portugal and Sardinia, but they were suppressed by force, These oc- surrences produced a strong feeling (A the courts of Eu- rope, and particularly in that of France; and the ass nation of the Duke of Berri, about the same time, pro! ty had still greater effect in ‘producing the change whic! followed, for it cansed the ding (Louis XVIIL) to change entirely his policy, firing it exactly an opposite direc- tion to that he had previously pursued. The death of Louis, which occurred in 1823, transferred the crown from the author of the charter to its bitterest opponent, and the known adherents of ultra royalist andwebiteary opinions. ‘The first result of this change was the march- ing of one hundred thousand men into Spain to crush the new constitution; and Mr. Everett narrated the subse- quent events of the King’s reign, including a description of the elections, at which the people invariable returned majorities in opposition to the court, till the establishment of the Polignac administration, by which the famous or- dinances were issued which were the immediate cause of the three days’ revolution. By one of these instruments, the newly elected Chamber of Deputies were dissolved before they ever assembled; by the second, the publica- tion of newspapers was prohibited, without a preliminary licence; cnd by the third, a large portion of the voters, Ie the kingdom were deprived of the franchise; all in direct opposition to the charter.

He was en- , thusiastically received, and his peerless execution and chastity of conception raised him still higher, if possible, in the good opinion which he won from all lovers of classical music at his first two | concerts. The same serene calmness pervaded his whole performance, giving a rare surety and energy | to his playing, and imparting at the same time a | wonderful pearly evenness to his notes, which form the characteristic distinction of the school he found- ed, and which will always maintain him in the ex- alted position he now occupies as a violinist. Our opinion as to his merits as a composer for the violin remains unchanged. He is, without any doubt, unrivalled amongst the modern, and, al- though fully acknowledging the high glory of a Spohr, a Rhode, or a Viotti, we look in vain amongst the older ones for an author who would combine a similar richness of melody with an equal depth of understanding in the technical parts. Mr. Vieuxtemps played last night as he played a fortnight ago at the Washington Hotel, and as he will always play. The greatest artist is not unfre- quently the slave of a fancy, a caprice; an atom may disturb his equanimity, and thé reaction is visible in his performance; but not so Vieuxtemps; he is always quiet, his brow is unruffled as the brow of a young bride, he always ‘‘mmotus velut rupes_resistit.” He takes up his bow, throws a disdainful glance on the lesser evils ‘flesh is heir to,” and parting the waves of harmony with pow- erful arms, evokes sounds which call the spheres their fatherland. : . The concerto, which was the first piece, is one of the few of Bériot's compositions which success- fully stemmed the current ot oblivion that engulph- ed his “airs variées.” It is really acharming mor- ceaw, containing a beautiful rondo, and was, given by Vieuxtemps with all the brilliancy of which his style is capable. The great applause it elicited was only merited. It would be common-place to say that he over- came the immense difficulties in his fantasia capri- ciosa, (which he has played already, 1n his first concert,) with the aplomb of an old master. For what are difficulties to him?—a mere child’s toy. His splendid fagenlatie never appeared to greater advantage, and he was very ably seconded by the orchestra. a After the Smolenska Ls the graceful Julia Turn- bull, came, what .every body thought the conclu- ding piece, the well Known duett for violin and pianoforte on airs from Bellini’s Somnambula, in which M’lle Vieuxteimps assisted her brother. She isa very neat and tasteful pianist, and appears to be quite familiar with the modern brilliant school. — She wonld have done more justice to her excellent touch and faultlessexecution,ifshe had played a solo Itwould be a matter of great difficulty for every ianist, toshine in the presence of such a star as ee brother is. The part ot the pianoforte, more- over, has pot been treated con amore by Benedict. Even Thalberg (who 7 Ce is positively com- ingenext autumn with Standigl, the celebrated bass ainger) could not make much out of it, when he played it with Seite at a Concert given some years ago in Vienna by the organist of the Imperial Chapel. But the principal fault lies in the superior- ity of the violin over the pianoforte, as a concert instrument. At the end of the duett both were stormishly applauded, aad on being called out Vieuxtemps played the carnevale di venezio, as he only couldn lay it. It was listened to in breathless silence, and Vieuxtemps retired with his sister amid a waving of handkerchiefs, and such a clapping and thumping that the walls of Old Drury trembled. The house was not crammed, but ‘it could boast of a respectable fulness. Tue Vacancy 1n THE Unitep Srates Supreme Covrr.—The vacancy made in this court, by the death of Judge Thompson, begins to attract the office-seekers from all quarters. But it happens that to fill this office awakens a higher rank of office-seekers than usually come forward before the public. We see many persons already named to fill it, such as J. C. Spencer, Dan’l B. Tallmadge, Hiram Ketchum, and many others. In the Com- mercial of yesterday, we see a notice that an appli- cation has been already forwarded to Washington in favor of Mr. Hiram Ketchum. Probably Mr. Ketchum may be the candidate of Mr. Webster, and may command all his influence with President ‘Tyler. Be that as it may, we must say, from watching the course of Mr. Ketchum, and asa lawyer and a politician and a public man in this ‘ity, we do not think he is possessed of sufficient talent, of sufficient liberality, or ot sufficient ampli- tude of mind, for the high office he aspires to. Mr. Ketchum has a great deal of talent of a certain kind, but its range is narrow; he has strong préju- dices both political, religious, and other kinds; and we do not think, upon the whole, he possesses that kind of comprehensive mind which ought to be elevated tothe Court of the United States; and we hope that President Tyler will take that into consideration when he fills the vacancy. Pustic Meeting IN REvation To THE Gas Com- rany.—A number of citizens called upon us yester- day in relation to the nogice we have given in re- ference to a public meeting that is preparing to be called to investigate the concerns of this company, and present their conduct to the next Legislature. We believe there is a strong feeling ‘n favor of such a movement, and we understand that the proprietor of the Shakspeare Hotel, in the Fourth Ward, has offered the free use of his Hall for a public meet- ing. In afew days, and as soon as preparation is made, it is probable full notice will be given, and all those who complain of the exorbitant charges of the company, and the manner in which they con- juct their business, should be ready to bring for- ward their bills and statements of facts to substan- tiate their complaints, while they move the legisla- ture on to action. Frona’s Justtee at Nisio’s.—At this delightful period of the year, when balls, parties, soirees and all that are the rage, he is supplying the ladies with boquets and wreaths of unsurpassed elegance and bgauty. They are arranged by an old hand in the establishment, and look as if they had come direct- ly from the fragrant fingers of Flora herself. His collection of green-house plants, vases and baskets of flowers, and rare and valuable seeds are all emi- nently worthy of attention. It will be seen by an advertisement in another column, that this part of his establishment has been greatly enlarged and improved by Mr. Niblo. But he invites the ladies to call and judge for themselves. American Repvstican Meetine at Newarx.— Last evening, at the United States Hotel, the Ame- rican Republicans met for the purpose of organiza- tion. About six to eight hundred persons were pre- sent. Hedden Ball, Esq., was called to the chair, and Samuel Bond and Caleb P. Crockett, Esqrs., appointed Vice Presidents, and Richmond Ward, Esq., Secretary. The meeting was addressed by Thomas 8. Oakley, Esq., of this city, ina speech of an hour’s length,and adjourned with three cheers for American principles, and three hearty ones for the speaker. Cura Streers.—The Board of Assistant Alder- men, last evening, passed the ordinance for clean- ing the streets. It only wants the signature of his Honor the Mayor to become alaw. Pray, Mr. Mayor, remember your dear friends, and as a New Year's gift, let us see again the natural paving stones; we are tired of the artificial substitute. Perhaps that trunk may be dug out in the opera- tion. The reward would pay for the extra carts and voters. Latest From Canapa.—We have received To- ronto papers of the 20th, Montreal of the 21st, and Quebec and Kingston of the 19th inst. We annex all the intelligence that we can find :— The delay which has taken place in the formation of a ew meg ty A augers favorably. It shows that Sir Charles Metealfe is determined to place himself in the hands of no warty.

Bennett, Esq:— Dear Sir— This, being Sunday, is another dies non. The only thing which has occurred to-day at Washing- ton worthy of notice, igs the preaching of the Rev. Judge Colquitt, Senator from Georgia, at the Me- thodist church, I say the Reverend Judge, be- cause he was introduced to the audience by the pastor of the church as , Judge—as in point of fact he is. Tam at a loss todecide whether I should say any thing of his sermon or not. Could I speak of it as a rich intellectual treat—filled with thoughts—ad- dressed to the reason—logical—theological—ma- thodical—grammatical—eloquent in style and dic- tion—or in fact as possessing any of those points of attraction which characterize the efforts of genius and intellectual greatness, it would give me plea- sure to speak of it. But as it was a sermon ad- dressed exclusively to the passions and the fears of the audience, containing zeal enangh te season a whole “ body of divinity,” it may be best to pass it by with the single remark, that if an Ser uneducated Methodist Elder (Mr. Colquitt is a Methodist,) had deli- vered it to an audience of country farmers and mechanics, instead of a learned Judge and Senator of the United States delivering it to a polite audience of Ex-Presidents, Senators, Representatives, and others of equal eminence —I say if any body else had delivered such a sermon, | should have called it mere rant. I will only say of it, in addition, that it Sec publicly ad- vertised in the leading Washington papers. Ex-President Adams, and others above named were present, and expec- tation was on stilts to hear ¢ man of such triangular capa. city as to unite in his single person the three functions of Legislator, Judge, and Minister of the Gospel. The ser- mon being over, stilts fell. It is astonishing how Ole Bull is fiddling religious su- perstitions out of people who would never before set their shoe leather ibaide of a theatre, for fear it would be defiled. Cat-gut and horse-hair do what argument and lo- gic can’t. Yours,&c. 8, B. Mr. Bennett :— % is ._ Do ordonotthe American Republicans,as a party, intend to run a separate candidate for the Presi- dency ? This point is obscured in mystery, darkness and doubt. In all their oc epditiays no satisfactory answer is given to this oft repeated inquiry. If they do not so intend, why set avow it at once in an open, manly, Herald like manner—in a manner not to be mistaken. This done, and all opposition ceases the instant the declaration is made—their party will be the only party so far as the city go- vernment is concerned. This point gained—our city freed from corruption, fraud and crime, and the work of reformation to say the least is nobly Regen, indeed it will be glory enough for one year, to have removed all foreigners from office—esta- blished a strong and effective police—reduced one half the current expenses of the city—cleaned and repaved our streets—removed the lumber and rub- bish from the side-walks, and many? other burdens under which the people groan and travail. . Now is this the design of ‘‘ Young America,” or is it to become a national thing—an independent party in politics, and, of course, share the fate of every third party which has sprung into existence the last half century. Thousands are halting be- tween two opinions waiting an answer to this,im- portant inquiry. Quenist. We cannot answer the question—nor do we be- lieve can Young America. Why ask them a ques- tion which cannot be answered? The first great object is to reform the city government—to run for the city government—to confine their purposes to the city government. When that object is achieved, it will be time to inquire “what next? That is our opinion. The Presidential question is not. suf- ficiently developed to know what’s what, or who’s who. Mr. Benner: Are you aware that the sentence last week decided upon, for Beach, in your case, was a fine of $250 and ten days in the city prison ; and that the Recorder has since stated to Beach’s counsel, that his imprisonment will be reduced to one ose 2 Are you aware that Major Noah is now editor of Beach’s Sun—that is, has become Beach’s doer of melancholy work, and that his is the new hand which has appeared at the handle of that bellows the present week ? These are truths spoken “ ry authority.” ONE BEHIND THE CURTAIN, We are aware of no such thing, and do not care button whether it be so or not. The Court of Sessions may sentence Mike Walsh, with three cents in his pocket, to the penitentiary for two months, and Moses Y. Beach, with $50,000 in his pocket, to a fine of six cents and no imprisonment atall ifit please. It isa question for the moral sense of the comraunity to pass upon. We have done with it. As to poor old worn out Noah, he may write where he pleases, we have done with him long since, and shall never put astraw in his way either aere or hereafter. Great Men of the American Republicans. Mr. Bennett— : In the catalogue of the orators of this party, you have omitted at least three who deserve a niche in the Temple of Fame. I refer to the Hon. M. M. Quackenboss, the Hon. Job Haskel, and the Hon. -auctioneer Philo L. Mills. Mr. Q. does not seem to be so wordy as many of the others It would be well if Mr. Sammons, Whitney, Oakley, Haskeil and others would take a lesson from him. They deal too much in appeals to the passions, ‘ound assertions unsustained by facts, and positive nisstatements and talsehoods, with a plentiful sup- ily ot doggerel, sometimes in prose, and some- “umes in the shape of poetry ; but it is only the sha- low of it, lacking substance, There are others which I hope you will not omit to add to the cata- ogue from time to time, especially the candidates tor the loaves and fishes, or the crumbs to be picked up. VIEUXTEMPS. Wirnprawat or Mr. Bucnanan.—A letter from the Hon. James Buchanan, addressed to the De- mocrats of Pennsylvania, is published in the last aumber ¢f the Lancaster Intelligencer. Mr. B. says:— “After long and serious refleetion, I have resolved to withdraw my name from the list of Presidential candi- lates to be presented before the Democratic National Con- vention. is resolution has been dictated by an anxious lesire to drive discord from the rinks of the party, and se- cure the ascendancy of Democratic principles both in the State and throughout the Union. In arriving at this con- slusion, I have consulted no human being. It is entirely my own spontaneous act, and proceeds from the clearest ind strongest conviction of duty. Whilst thus ning: my leave, as your candidate mr the Presidential office, I am animated by «sense of profound gratitude for the unanimity and enthusiasm with which you have wu my elevation to the highest office on you, have Betting shell remain engraven on my heart until time for me shall be no longer.” He also expresses his determination to support the nominee of the National Convention, and does 1ot say a word for or against either ,of the other zandidates. Narrow Escare at THE Saitors’ Sxve Har- sor.—On Thursday morning the 2lIst instant, at about 3A.

By timely assistance they were all removed and their lives saved, although at the time of dis- covery they were speechless.

In all the dis- tinctions which have been conferred upon him during his professional career, he has never forgotten the land of his nativity, but returns to be ever welcomed by his earliest associ The entertainments for this occasion are such as to develope the further advancement he has made in his former accomplisements. We have no doubt he will be largely compensated in every sense of the term. Suarnam THeatRe.—It is many years since the beautiful drama of the “Foundling of the Forest” was New York.

(Correspondence of the Herald.) Wasuineton, Dec, 26, 1843. James G. Bennett, Esq.— Dear Str :— Of the wine which Mr, Fuller caused to flow so treely yesterday, Ole Bull partook but little. He said he was the creature of excitement and enthu- siasm, and he could not bear it. He complained of asevere pain in his chest, and also of gome dif- ficulty in the movement of his left hand; and we began to entertain serious fears that he would not be able to perform, to his own satisfaction at least, last evening. But he left the dinner early, took a walk, inhaled the fresh air, looked with admiration upon some of the Washinggon belles, caught a lit- tle of the spirit of our liberal and free institutions as he gazed upon the ca and was ready to per- form his part in the evening, Poaieoeds, aston- ishment, and amazement of every $ne who heard him. Through the extraordinary eflorts of Mr. Emery, and the patience and perseverance of La Menana, the leader of the orchestra, a very & indeed a superior accompanyment was ready to perform on the occasion. Mrs. Bailey sung in her usual neat and tasty style. But the audience were altogether carried away by Ole Bull. No language could express their emotions—and not a few of the fair ladies of Washington, as was the case with the iadies of Baltimore, would have been delighted to have waited upon the handsome violinist, and in propriis personis testified to him their admiration and enchantment. Ole Bull will surely bewitch all the southern ladies. I need not say that the whole house was crowded with the ye: ‘dite of Washing- ton, including such Members of Congress as were intown. Ole Bull left this morning for Baltimore. where he pers this evening. He returns ives another concert here to-morrow (Wednes- lay) evening ; after which he leaves for Richmond and other places in Virginia. ts Two or three important resolutions have been introduced into the perpen as will be seen by the report. I refer particularly to the resolution eine Allen to open the doors of the Senate while transacting Executive business—to the notice of a bill by Mr. Atchinson to establish a government over Oregon, &c i s The complaint is very general in relation to the difficulty ae hearing in the gallery what is said in the Senate below. And it is most respectfully sug- gested to the honorable Senators, that if their con- stituents, the putes have no right to know what they say and do upon the floor of the Senate, yet as a matter of courtesy, they might,when important matters are presented and discussed, condescend to speak loud enough to be heard in the eallary. = TWENSTY-EIGHTH CONGRESS. FIRST SESSION. Senate, Tuespay, Dec. 26, 1843. , MemorraLs.—A number of unimportant memo- tials were presented by different Senators, * Mr. Tat.aance presented a petition from nit zens of Wisconsin, asking for a grant of land t enable them to improve Fox River. é Mr. Wrieur presented a petition from citizens of Brookfield, Madison county, N. Y. asking fora pensionfor John Keith, a soldier of the Revolu- uon, Also a petition from Albany, asking a revision of the laws relative to Hospital monies. Mr. Tappan presented a petition by citizens of Cincinnati, for a bridge over the Ohio river. Mr. Arcuinson gave notice that he would to- morrow introduce a bill to establish a Government in Oregon. Resolution by Mr. Ponren—That the Secretary of War be requested to send to the Senate any estimates which may be in his possession of the cost of connecti Lukes Huron and Superior, by means of a Canal around the Falls of St. M ‘ed to navigation by steam vessels. Resolution by Mr. Attex—That the 40th rule for con- ducting business in the Senate, and which requires the Senate to close its doors while transacting executive bu- siness be rescinded, and the Senate shall hereafter sit with open doors when transacting all business except when acting upon treaties, and then the Senate shall sit with cle doors, as hitherto under the 40th rule, Mr. Baurow presentrd a resolution calling on the Presi- dent for such information as he may respecting the claims of citizens of the United’ States against Mex- ico. Mr. Wacxer presented a resolution the Presi- dent to communicate to the Senate the ses of the government foreach year up to the present, and also what these expenses were for. Mr. Berntsen, from the Committee on the Judicia1 mitted on the 23d inst., a report (No. 8) accom the following Bill, which was read twice and referred. A Bivt ror Rewier oF Isaac Iusury. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa- tives of the United States of America in Congress assem- bled, That the Secretary of the Treasury be, and he is hereby ,authorized and ed to pay to Isaac Isley out of any money in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated,the sum of three hundred and ninety-four dollars and seventy- eight cents, being the belance of emoluments to which he sub: by was entitled as collector of the customs for the district of | Portland and Falmouth, in the State of Maine, for the first quarter of the year one thonsand eight hundred and twen- ty-nine. Some considerable discussion followed, in which Messrs Berrien, Phelps and Wright {ook part. The Bill was fi- aully laid over to Tuesday week, and it ia unimportant to report the debate—being upon mere construction of the law. After a short session upon Executive business the Senate adjourned. House of Representatives. ‘ Wasuincton, Tuesday night, Dec. 26. Reduction of ae ee ititions—Ex- penditures of the Navy Department. As soon as the journal was read, Mr. Wirxrns offered a resolution to the effect that an additional number of iron steam vessels be built at Pittsburgh, for the purpose of defence in the Gulf of Mexico, revenue service, &c., and to aid and protect the commerce of the western wa- ters. Speaxer—lIt is not in order without a suspension of _the rules, sir. Wirxins—I move to suspend them, then, sir.— This is a very important subject, sir, to the coun- uy. fe House, however, refused to suspend the rules. Mr. Apams said the committee on commerce at to have given a full report upon the subject. Mr. Jamreson—I call the gentleman to order, sir. The subject is not debateable. Mr. Apams—I've done, sir, (Laughter.) _ Cave Jounson—What is the first business in or- der, Mr. Speaker? ‘ A Speaxer—The resolution of the gentleman from New York (Preston King), instructing the commit- tee on post offices and roads to enquire into the ex- vediency of a speedy reduction of postage, abo ing the franking privilege, and an adoption of the federal currency in the rates of postage. __ Horxins—That committee need no iustruc- tions, sir; they are giving their whole time and Most patient attention to the matter; making the fullest enquiries into the subject in all its bearings, and will soon report fully upon it. ‘ Mr. Avant asked if the reference of the remain- ing. part of the President’s Message was notin order. Sreaker—Not without going into committee of the whole, sir. } Mr.King—I don’t wish to consume the fime of this House, sir, there’s been too much of that done ilready. Laughter.) But this subject of postage is a very important one. It exci terest in the State of New York, a over the Union.

Department should maintain itself. Now, if the people desire the postage to be reducedyI shall vote tor it, whether the Department does or does not support itself. But I don't want this acted upon too soon, or before we have full information upon it. R. D. Davis—I wish to see the House and Com- mittee act understandingly and promptly upon the matter. _ A Voice, (in an under tone)—“Oh, take your time, Miss Lucy.” (Laughter.) The resolution was finally not referred to the Post Office Committee, © J Inaxnsout—What is the regular order of business before the House now, sir? Sreaxen—Petitions from the States and Territories. INcensoii.—I move the oe ig into of the Whole, and take up the ay li there, that relating to Gen. Jackson’s fine. — (Laugh! ry The House refused to suspend the rules. Petitions were then presented from the various States and Territories. Among these was one from Indiana, praying 8 reduction of 33 per cent postage, two or three from Ohio, and seve- ral from Pennsylvania and New York to the same effect, but from no other States.
