Cnllioun .presented -the proceedings ■and resolutions of a meeting of citizens .of Petersburg, Virginia, protesting against- a protective tariff, a National Bank, and ap-, proving of the President’s Veto at tins res ■sion; also against distribution, and expres sing the hope that-if the.bill for this purpose were passed, the .President would withhold this assent from said bill. : Mr- Tappan moved to take up the reso lution previously offered by him-for the ad journment of Congress on the-SQth-inst., and ma this motion,called the yeas and nays. Tlife motion was negatived: yeas 19,- nays •Z 2. Mr. King.,said it was usual at the com mencement of every session to organize <stan’ding committees, to examine the matters! ■that may be brought before them and repoet in the arrangement t>f. these committees, k: was usual'to. place the Administration in a; hnajority, bfot also to' place a portion of the minority'bn tlife committees that they might ■ give their views. This pr&ctioe riever'ought to be departed* from. Frequently the mat: ■ters were referred to select committees, and an that case the same role should prevail,— There was no instance of deviation from it, ■in the history of legislation till'now. Here! ;a bill bad been crowded through the Mouse, ■by breach of parliamentary rule which pre vents taking up at the same session, a mat ter which had" been, rejected by one of the Departments of GJryefnmcnt.' The bil I came 'here—be was noytf liberty to advert further to what was d'oilS’in the other Mouse, but be ■wished he might, and'show to the country ■what they'were’lto expect from this Admin istration—hut-it came here, and a proposition ■was made to refer -itto a select committee. $6 be appointed?by the President of lhe-Se . inate. No objection was' made by tliem ; to this course; and nowjojiis.utter astonish ment be saw in the morning-papers, that riot' ■one member of bis party, was on the com mittee.

The parliamentary law was that the various sub jects when committed, should be sent to the friends of the'measures, as a majority, but a .portion always of .the opposite party to be included. ..Mb proposed,to add to this com mittee two members, to be chosen from the minority'of the Senate, that they might be represented on this most important -matter,-' This wile had never been departed from be fore, since'be liad been in Congress, with the, exception of one single case—that'of a standing Committee tin the District uf Cu lumbia. The President stated “the facts of the case. Doe member had been appointed on this com mittee who had. voted against the Bank bill that had passed the two Mouses this session. “When the present bill came to tlie Senate,: yesterday, a motion was made to postpone it indefinitely, and twenty-one members Vo “ ted against it, tnus expressing their decided hostility to, the.measure., None of those had been appointed; andjn this course he ?had been guided by a rule, from Jefferson's Manual, which he read to the Senate,,and which provides that in the appointment of ’ '<committees, for jthe consideration of any measures,.those who took exception tn par- parts of such measures might be ap pointed,, but none who. speak entirely against the bill; for he who would entirely destroy the bill, would not amend it; and that no man was to be employed as a member of any committee, on dny measure, when be had declared himself against it; and when any such member should be appointed, besought to ask to be excused from service." -,•'*■■■ ----- Under this view the Chair had decided, cin the appointment of this committee.,and .. the Senate would approve or disappeove that action.' , ■ ‘ ;Mr. Benton said it Tiad been a practice .with their party'; when in .power, while the majority of■ committees were appointed ofi their friends, to include also some'who were' entirely opposed to the measure. He oppo sed the of this-committee be : cause all i(s memhersweretakenfromthe same political party, and because they were all friends to this measure; and, moreover, the five gentlemen on it were the fire junior members of the body. He did not object to' their capacity or their talents; these were of high order, but it was a.violation of the rules of this Senate; ho did not go for taking ju niors and putting them over the head of sc ~niors.--Her.adrairedrjlieir-:talcntBpbQtTlliey: were five cadets -from West 'Point and not fit to be placed at the head of the army. He • did not believe President Tyler had a friend on the committee,-bnt,they would let that matter stand over for a week, when if would . appear. ' , The gentleman from Alabama (Mr. King) had made a mistake; there had_ been an in stance beside the one to \vhich he had ad verted, and which, would ;-exaq(ly fit this case—that of a committee from this body appointed to examine the affairs of the late Bank'of the United States, which was en tirely composed of the friends of the Bank. Walker did . not rise to take excep tion to the course of the President in this matter, but to say that the. rule to which the Chair had referred had never been acted on in the Senate; i He referred to vWioiis in stances of appointments of commitfees.by. tho Senate, vyhicliT were all adverse to this course; and hoped the Chair would recon sider the appointment. ; • Mr. Smith of la., hoped the order of the day would now be proceeded with. " Mr. King.withdrew his .motion fur,the ap pointment’pf the two addilional members. The Distribution bilf was then again taken up. • . t - . Mr. Archer rose arid finished the argument , be commenced yesterday, in'favor of ■ the ; general principles of the bill.' > - Mr. Woodbury'fpllowcd in a speech of _ very considerable length against the . whole system of.distribution, asxunjust, unequal, Oiul injurious, and clused his remarks with *he expression of an- opinion that the Pice!* • ' dent woujd withhold his assent from a mcas ; Pro clearly as unconstitu tional'n?)that of the .. bank charter. >■ I ;; Messrs, Tappan, Sevier, Walker, Wright; and Woodbury severally addressed tire Se nate.at some length, when . Mr, CuthbCrt wishing to speak; and it be ing late, ' rw Mr. Smith of Indiana, proposed an ad. journment, with the understanding that-the question should ‘be taken by three o’clock to-morrow. - '. And tiled tlie Seriate.adjourned, HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. The Mupse resolved itself-into-Committee of the Whole.on the stale of the Union? Mr. Everett of Vermont 'ln the- chair, and took ‘ up the bill to T for -ar rearages in the Post Office Department.’ A great number of members spoke on the subject, in r a very discursive manner. We give sketches of tlie'reinarks of the principal speakers. ' Mr. Littlefield of Maine said lie approved of paying the contractors, but considered Mr. McKay’s amendment the .proper way of doing it. ” He spoke of the Postmaster I General’s proscription, and said that in his district a man was appointed, a postmaster ;for painting a Tippecanoe Banner, and an-- other was'turned out for saying lie should; have taken a petticoat for the coat. : Mr. Gordon said, when Mr.KendaU ,l c(Vine into die Post Office Department, he found a, ilebt iif $.1,000,(J00, ns reported by Thomas Ewing. ‘ What did he do-? Why, lie .paid off tbe.-dejjk and put fifteen hundred routes in operation—routes'which were mostly un productive. He did not borrow money or ask it trom Congress. He cut .down the services. He said, if-’Mr. Kendall was now at the head of the Department, no applica tion would be made to Congress for rud, He showed that MrV Granger- was unfitted'for the office he held—that lie Bad nothing but political capacity, and that lie would nafu riilly have about him tools, hot-headed poli ticians, upon the principle that birds of a feather would flock together, ' Mr, Arnold defended the Postmaster Ge neral from various charges which had been made against hitn, .though lie owned himself not satisfied with-the only Whig appoint,-, ment which Mr. Granger, had made in his district. - He insisted on the justice, arid importance of 'a full.provision for the Post j)ffi6e Departinmitias Tffertiesrthq’-.great channel of iri- r ■ f r;?.’-'"' versions on the. chprse.of the; President,on the late Veto—accused hi in ,of treachery to the party which elevated him to power, and of allying himself Co the Locofocos. He further said, “that if they wanted stuff to make a locofoco of, they could not find bet ter stuff, than the base, miserable w retch at the oilier end of the Avenue. He was just_ ■fit to become a Locofoco.” JTlcre Miv Ar nold was loudly called to -order on all sides; arid, the Chairman decided him to he out of order fur alluding in disrespectful terms to the 'Chief Magistrate.j Mr, A, said “I did not mention the- President. 1 spoke of a base, miserable wretch other end of tlie. Avenue; The Avenue, I believe reach es to Georgetown. Who can say who lives at the other, end of itP I spoke of a base, miserable wretch; and the friends of Mr. Tyler jnsisted upon its application to him, If the cap fits him, he may wear it. If the Chair decides roe out of order, ! appeal. 5 ’ — Mr, A, however, withdrew Iris appeal. ‘ Mr, Stanley followed Mr. Arnold, and reviewed the. speech of that gentleman with much severity, *’*■ . Mr, Botts made a few .remarks on,fthe subject of iris " letter” published in the Madisonian, which had been'referred to hy Mr. Stanly, He rose not. to excuse the let ter or to defend himself,,-but to disclaim-for the Whig, party any responsibility for it iiimse|f, and was ,willing.,to;ineet it. He ’ considered the conduct of the,President to wards the Whig party v as treachery—the ba sest and vilest treachery, When fhat se cond veto should come, as come it must, he should be able to maintain this.. As to the phrase “heading the President,’' as used in that letter, he, explained that lie meant to cut off. that connexion wifli-the Lo cbfocos-which,- he. believed, it was the Pre aident’s purpose thento form, and which he now lielieveil, he had sinceToriiied. Heiiad wished-thus to cut off, the President, by ob taining his signature (after the late veto,) to a bill the same as that planned by him in the beginning of tlie cession apd sent to Congress. j'Some one called oiUj 't Tliaf was Mr. E wing’s scheme.”! It was not Mr. Ewing’s scheme, There was not a man) not a boy in the country who did not know that that bill did not express the views of the Cabinet. .. Tlie Whigs in caucus after, the late yeto intended: to present that bill; but they were then cut off from maturingjt by information from various sources that the President Would nut sign lliat bilk Sothey could not “head: him” that way. Then the bill for aJFiscal Corporation; was framed with express refer ence to llieVeto Message. It had been said, that they had endeavored to entrap the Pre sident into signing a bill for a Bank, the stock-of. which would never be subscribed. It wns iiot ’so. The stock would bo sub, scribed-. Brit the President changes ground every time thc Bun rises. He will never sign that bill, Mr. Proffit of Indiana said he had remain ed si|ent on this bill, determined not to do any-thiiig but to vote for the bill. • He said he ivouldtell bis friend from North Caro lina that it was not a Whig principle to take out of Committee a bill to.last twenty years in two, days—and then spend three days ahusirigpostmasters. He said, he went fur John Tyler; if there was to.be a war upon .him, ami if diffe.ring with a difference with" the" Whig party, he differed with it., , Mr. Charles Brown was opposed to sup - plying ihe Post r Office department with, sur plus revenue. ; He would pay the debts of the. Department, and nO more. He had no confidence in tlie-head of the Post Office Departments and, if rumor,wa's tore, and he believed it. was.Mr.Granger hud a pre: monitory symptom of official death, and Ihe collapse would'soon He said the-te movelsin his district hnd been made ; in vio lation of the rule of the President, and therefore, the Postmaster-General should go out and give place to nne who would com ply with the rule. The Postmaster General had violated the principle of the party, and .the President was blamedforhisacfs.’. Mr. James'of:Pennsyivania repliedi . Mr.iCushingofMassachuselts was foil re forming the whole,post office-system, •- --Mr. Gushing then denied: that the .Whig party stood upon the question of a Bank. —'• He said tire issue of a Bank was tendered by the Democrats. but that the. Whigs would not accept'of ftfnndif the Whig party’se cretly went for-a'fiank, then the Whigipttr ty had acted treacherously to the President. Wlr. Marshall of'K.entneky.made a speech, quite .personal in i(s..character. Mr. Wise then obtained the floor. When ‘he had finished tin eloquent-defence .of the president and his measures. The<lolololll6o rose, and the House,ad journed at haff .past five, P. M. ■JV.-j/n iheNurristovin Register* Wc refer Our readers to the following cOmrtntttica tion relative, to tho Bankrupt Law recently passed by the federal majority in Congress, and which has re ceived tho sanction of tho President, for information on that subject. A Bankrupt Law -was passed during tho Administration of John Adams, -usually denomi nated tho “ reign of -terror,” and wfa - repealed in two or three years, by the democratic administration of Thomas Jefferson, as it was found unsuitable for a Republic. What will-be tho fide of the .present-law a short-time will devclope. Tbe Baufirapt Laws A law having now passed to establish a uniform system of Bankruptcy, it mgy be come every citizen to inquire what-Congress had a right to do do, and what they have ■done. The Constitution says, '“'Congress shall have power to establish uniform laws on the subject of Bankruptcy.” W'liat was under stood by “ uniform'laws on tho subject of bankruptcy,” at tbe time the Constitution was framed, may perhaps'be a matter of speculation; but those words in the. Const itution give the only power under which Con : gress acts. , The bill that.has passed Congress .provides for Volunlary-£anki~upts as well us' Com pulsory Bankruptcy? • FirsT, ,>thcn, tet, its examine voluntary bankruptcy. ,• Any person living in the Uni ted States and owing debts,.may preseivtlits -application to a‘bankrupt,.. In-order to become a voluntary bankrupt, the debtor presents his petition in the Court of the United States held, in the district where tliei applicant resides. Notice of this petition is then to be published in ■one news t hg;! ”;W hiS rives;#', it shall appear fo the C oirctAlfa t fhotice'has been' given.pi.aforesatd;: arid* tTie J petitioner has confermetl to the retjuisitionk, ot. the act,-“Ae shall he entitled to afulldis 'char-geqf all/iis debts, unless a majority of -his creditors who bape proved their debts file a written dissent thereto. . This having |jeen done, theGourt decrees him_« Bankrupt,'. —But before he gets;a cer tificate he must .wait 90 days, during which Time hemustgive7o days notice tuTus credi tors, either .'personally or by publication.— This being done, tire Court gives him a cer tificale and discharge from his*debts, provi ded none of his creditors appear and prove to the Court that the petitioner has been guilty of fraud, it is known to all that die United States Court for the Eastern District of Pennsyl vania, is held in the city of Philadelphia.— Agreeably to the above slated .provisions, any person living within the Eastern Distrrctand owing-money, may make the application in Philadelphia; or any person" who-now lives in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, if he does not wish to apply in Philadelphia, may, by moving to the western part of. the State, in a few weeks obtain, a residence in the Western District and make his applica tion at Pittsburg, ■ . Under and "by the provisions of this law any man may get in debt to any amount, large or small; Ire may contract that debt in the pursuit of any business, or, impossible, ’without any business may .contract a debt; and having succeeded in owing some person or persons, all he has to do is to move to Philadelphia Or Pittsburg; (as he may think safest,).and in 110 days the Court will rfes - - c/iarge him/romall his ilcbts. For, how ever umlesbrving.rhe may be of such a dis- by removing 100 or2oo miles from his creditors, no one would incur the trouble' and'expepse of following him to prove theii; accounts and oppose bis discharge.A|,l east a man may leave behind him many creditors to whom he owes small sums, amounting in the aggregate to several thousand dollars, all Of whom would sooner lose their money than to travel 100 or 300 miles to prove their «leßts>-and superintend all before the Court. , By these means the debt or will be, not only discharged from his debts, but may be discharged without even permit ting his creditors'to receive a pro rata share of whatever property he niay hold.atthe time of his ppplicatiuir. So much for. voluntary bankruptcy; and now a word as to compulsory .bankruptcy. become bankrupts.... All merchants, (wheth er, retail ;or other) bankers, brokers, factors, &c., owing not less than 2QOO Udllal's, iiiay beKOompelled to becomc Bankrupts. ' ’ The proceedings in. this case is by petition. Any creditor or creditors (to whom the in tended victim owes 500 dollars or more,) may present their petition to the United States .Court where the petitioner resides, .settirig forth that tlieir debtor is a merchant, or broker, &c. (as the case may be;) that he owes them ;500 dollars or more; that he has concealed himself, or that he is making fraud ulent evidences of sates, or that he is giving fraudulent evidences of debt, (as the case may he.) . Upon this being done. th'e Court directs 20- days notice in one or more news papers in the district, of a time and place of hearing. If the'debtor, at the end of twenty days, does not appear and satisfy the. Court that the prayer of the-petitioner should not be granted —thenthe Court decrees.him 'a Banks rupt .. From thatdecrce.in soinuch haste made against lhe debtor, living perhaps at a great.distance-from the£ourt, he is allowed ten dm/s to : appeal,'and demand a trial by jury. If this be done and the jury declare him not a Bankrupt, he can pocket the trou ble ancfexpense and be satisfied. If, how ever, the decree of the Court be not appealed from, dr is confirmed by the jury, the Court appoints assignees; and from .the time of said appointment-all'his property becomes vested in said assignees.-;; But notwithstanding he is-now decreed a,bankrupt and all lift:pro perty taken from him,..still he cannot obtain a certificate of discharge from his debts, un til ho petitions. Court; stating all tlie facts'—, and;nfter giving notice ns in vpldn-- a discharge ; froin his 4 ’debts)',provided he has committed -no-fraud, nor been guilty of the.several of fences mentioned in the act. ■Froth tljis-it will be seen that many,of the objections"mentioned relative to voluntary applications, wilt be felt-in compulsory ca ses—wi’tji “this difference-: 'ln the first case the creditor suffers—-in the-last -the debtor suffers. ' - - o There at e other provisions'coramon to hottf voluntary and compulsory bankruptcy. All’suits either by or against the Assignee, must be.-prosecuted in the Urtited .Stales Klourt. . ■ ■ ft matters hot how small-may be the sum ■in dispute, or Jtow far the',parties may reside from llie Court, the claim must be-abandon'- ed or the suit brought 4tt the United States Court. ■ ■ .' - The Bankrupt law, in effect, repeals the Slate Insolvent Jaw,'so far that a man .de clared a bankrupt by petition of bis creditors, cannot take -the benelit-of -the insolvent law; and if, after his property be taken from him by the assignee, if be Tails to obtain bis dis charge from debt as a bankrupt, he has no ■remedy', left for him, but is at the mercy of such of his creditors, as may-not-come into tire .United -StatesCourt toprovetheir debts. It'repeals the Insolvent law, and -also the law relating to the executions in .Pennsyl vania,so -far-as regards-tire amount of furni ture and goods exempt from execution. The Bankrupt law allows the debtor to retain such articles of- furniture, &c., as the as*- signee may designate and set apart, having reference in the amount, "to the funiily con dilion and circnmslanpes of the bankrupt but altogether not Exceeding 300 dollars, besides articles of clothing; &c. &c. I will trouble, you mi-further.' This being the Bankrupt bill as 1 undcrstand.it. If 1 be correct, I think the whole country will join in demanding itr repeal. It doeff not go into operation until February. If it be repealed, it should be repeated, before that time, or at least amended, before its provi visimis are abused by a number of voluntary applications, A 'bank-ru.pt law. may be productive of much good; if properly enacted. But this one seems to be for.the speciuLpurpose of relieving a certain class of speculators wjio are confined to.our large cities, - /._lL.,was_ passed,. luu,l,ha,ve-,audairbt,.at,the, ..eSpetisß agreed to vote-fqi--the distribution of the public lands, against'their beUer.judgmcnt, : upon condition that certain members of the House would, by their votes, pass the Bank ■ rupt bill, in its present odious shape. Thus the lands are given away—tea and coffee taxed to afford revenue to supply the .place —and a bankrupt bill passed, by, which the brokendown stock gambler mayVas"wTlfira tipoiige, wipe oft’all his debts. Yours, The lUcLcod Case.. The following is an extract from the Lon don correspondence of the New York Jour nal of, Come'rce, brought by the Steamer Columbia:— - The decision of the Supreme Court of-tlie. ■Stale of New York, in McLeod-case, has again aroused much of that angry .and indig nant feeling, whiclrsume time since, was so exceedingly general in this country. The funds were affected, but nut to any extent. As the question is one of such lasting impor tance, and as the newspapers tend so mate rially tn inlluencemcn’s minds on the subject, I think it incumbent upon me to collate, the sentiments advanced by the different editors of the metropolitan press. In private, the general feeling is decidedly hostile to the United States, on account of the non-libcrar tion of McLeod, when he was demanded by Mr, Fox, and the-British Government ad mitted to have been the tigressor, if, as they say, any aggression has taken place-. There is much difference of opinion as to the .act of burning tire Caroline; but none,as ‘to the mode in which the British Government must act, should McLeod' suifer much lunger.in liberty or in life,- Tire-Morning Post, the fashionable Tory organ of tlie aristocracy, said:—“Tlie Judge’s address leaves the merits of the-case pretty much as.thcy were; as it consists almost ex clusively of technicalities. It is however, upon the whole, an inauspicious omen, and conveys to the Government of Great Britain u sigtnlicant intimation that it ought to be prepared for - the worst.” .. -The Morning Post has lately been paying considerable at tention to American affairs, and was the only paper that published. Judge Cowan’s decision in full. The Post of the Slst ult. contained ten columns aiid a' lialf of closely printed intelligence brought by the Briitan nia. . ’ Tlie . Morning Uertiltl, a very influential Tory family, journali devoted yesterday-two columns and a half ufthe discussion of the subject, rand promises to recur to it> The. weekly. JChrpnicle, edited by. its pro prietor, Mr. Ward, one of- the, mem hers in parliament for..the borouglrof Sheffield, and a leader of the moderate lladicals, thus no tices the news; “The. plea set up in his be half has been rejected in suck a'manner as to leave little hope, of escape from the awk ward position in which, nut only the safety of, the prisoner, blit the fixations between the, two countries are thereby placed. We do hot like to speculate on the possible con sequences, and trdst the good sense of both governinenls will save us from the folly of any.serious breach of our existing friendly relations; "but one thing is clear—McLeod must not be lhe scape-goat,’’ ,v . The “British Queen end Statesman,” an ul and edited .by Mr. J uhn Anderson, late editor ol the “Daily Morn ing Advertiser,’? oalmly declares—“ With every sense of the hardship endured by.Mr, McLeod, which, we trust,' the government of Great Britain will.amply indemnify; we must be permitted toaaythafwar world not release him sooner than will .the, legal decision of. the-American judicial dignita ries. It is, however, desirable that the case' should be finally disposed of before the ad vent of' the Tories to. office, as the cause of humanity,'as well.faK.of impiuvement, will be injured unless ; a decision.be speedily ar rived at.
