[t will be found at lengih in our telegraphic report of Con- grese, in anothercolumn. The Califoraia land title bill was next taken up, and ordered to be printed, in pretiy much the same form in which it was intro- duced. After an a’most interminable debate, in which all the feelings of sectional jealousy were pourtray- ed, the House of Representatives, in. committce of the whole, decided upon cutting out of the Branch Mint bill the words New York, and all appertain- ing to said city. It would seem that New York has already betome too rich, :oo powerfal, and too influential to suit the ideas of many ef the Represen- tatives of some of the towns and villages in other 3 and, inorder to keep this already great and rapidly increasing emporium within proper bounds, they have determined to still detain from her that which, by the natural current of com- merce, manufactures, fine arts and talents, right- | fully belongs to her. Never mind,—the tide of wealth still sets this way, and we will coutinus to expand, until Philadelphte, which is now one of our suburbs, is swallowed up and forgotten. Who'll have the mint then? Notwithstanding the emphatic votes which have been given in favor of the ool law, we see that petitions are presented to the Legislature, day wfter dey, for ite repeal. That question has been decided over and over, and we trust that the law will remain in force. Petitions for its repeal should be laid on the table as fast as they are ree ceive d—they should be treated in the same manner as these that are daily presented to Congress for the repeal of the Fugitive Slave bill. It has been demonstrated most unequivocally that a majority of the people are in favor of the present law, aad the matter should be allowed to rest as it We have received full particulars, by telegraph, of the destructioa of the steamer John Adems, on the Miss'seippi river, and the loss of one hundred end twenty-three lives. This dreadful calamity ‘was occasioned -by that vessel running fou! of a sneg in thet river. It is most melancholy busi- ness, and the loss of life has been most dreadful. ‘The last six ight mouths have been prolific of eatastrophes oo our ri Attempt to Fleet a Senator by the New York Legis!

S. Senator,in consequence of one of the whigs in the Senate refusing to vote for Hamilton Fish, the whig candidate. The Assembly chose Mr. Fish; but 16 of the Senators, of whom 15 are democrats, voted against bim. The final result is therefore, unceriain. We give the following expla- nation of the law of the State on the subject, and sketches of eimilar instances in the history of the State, which wil! prove interestiog at this time ‘The law of this State, by which Senators to re- present the State in Congress are elected by the Le- gislature, which law has been in existence for many years, requires such election to take place on , he may carry | s opposition ‘o Mr. Fich remains to force it through the Common Council.

The manner of choosing U.S. Senators is peculiar in this State, | unless, perhaps, we are imitated by Michigan. | It i# as follows :—Each member of the Senate, and os the house of Assembly, (the houses sitting ia heir rate chambers, ) on his name being called, rises in his seat, and openly nominates the person of his choice for U.S. Senator. If a majority of | the whole body is found for a candidate, the fact is | anncuaced by the presiding officer, and a message ie sent to the other branch of the Legislature, de claring the choice, and the readiness of the House to meet the co-ordinate branch, to com nomi- | nations. If both houses have succeeded in mak- ing « choice, the Senate comes into the Assembly chamber, and if the nominations agree, the per- | on who is the choice of both houses, ie declared elected Senator. if the nominations of the two heures disogree, a joint ballot immediately takes place, the choice of members being confined to he two names which have been presented by each house respectively. To bring the two houses together, it will be perceived it is necessary for each branch to have made choice of a candidate, either concurrent or otherwite. Consequently, it is refusing to make @ nomination, and this fs ustially dene by members scattering their votes on vari- ous candidates, 10 that no one shall receive a ma- jority, and thus the necessity of a joint ballot ie o viated Thie xeheme of preventing a choice of Senators was invented in the year 1925, when the friend of Gov. Clinton—the late Ambrose Spencer—wase the @hoice of the people's party, #0 called, in the A» | sembly; and the Senate were anxious to defeat him, @ majority of that body then being anti-Clin- | fonians. In the Assembly, Judge Spencer received seventy-seven votes, againet forty-five for other pertons. He also received ten votes in the Senate, against twenty-one for other persons. Of course, Spencer's election wae certain, if the two houses could be brought together in joint ballot, according to law, as on former occasions. The Senatory ‘were determined to prevent this, at all hazards, ae they looked with horrot on the possibile election of Jadge Spencer. Their attempt to make a choice ‘was, therefore, a mere pretence, and they accort- ingly scattered their votee, the twenty. oue Senitors voting (doubtless by previo rrangement) for no Jess than seventeen different persons for | aite States Senator, taking care to give neither of the per. | sons nemed more (han two votes, and thirteen of tym ovly one vote each After this faree of apparen, awa oy rus PiLonm's | '& seeeet | friends for Judge Spencer, gave his vote in favor of of apprehension yet, “New ¥ hk, Wednesday February 3, 1851, | | 1 Tad exSketehes of Similar Instanees | 5?*5C¢r had been, was re-elected to the United | cierkship of the special term and the {Supreme Court | thoroughly awakened to the charlatanry of the | ing politieions to the grave, and in a short time in the power of either house to preventa choice by | will be an adept in the business.
