RILIMPORG, Feb. 2%, 1830.
The Legislatuse are now in the eiglitfi week o
the 'motion, and literally nothing . lies Ifreqi ifene
towards the accotnplishmene of the important mat
fern reqtrired at their hands. The Appropriation
Bill, on which hangs, the fate of the North Branch,
trill lies in a state of repose, and when it will be
called forth from its slumberA, noes can tell. The
Home Appottionmeut Bill, for districtir4 the State,
Aar not been seed upon Awe it cants front" the
hands of the Committee, end there are no visible
indications that it will very soon command the at.
tention of the Rouse. Nearly a webk has now
been spent in fruitless discussion on the resolutions
to amend the Constitution ; many able speeches
have been made ou both side*, but speeches on
that subject are et no use here. The bill will pass
by a large majority, and fat better would it be. if
members would permit it to pass at onee, and turn
their attention and labors to other eagrissing sub
yects belore them.
A somewhat interesting
, debate occulted in the
senate otr Saturditi•last on the joint resolutions re
lating to the Washington Monument, for the details
of which I ant partly indebted to the eaudesy of
one of the Reporters of that body, and which, for
want of more interesting items, I send you. The
cliental resolution was read in place on the 29th
of !armory, by Mr. Praxes, of 'Philadelphia Co.,
and is in the following words, viz
That• the Governor br 'witty atilhorieed and re
guested to cause ,an appropriate block of the na
tive Marble of this Certrnrorwealdt•, to be convey
ed to . the National Capitol; to take its place in the
monument to the memory of Washington, and to
have inscribed thereon the State coat of arms, and
these words :
"PIENNSTIMANIA,
FOUNDED
DELOS OF PEACE."
Rostra, That a poen not eseeedmg one thoo.
sand dollars, is hereby appropriated for the purpose
of carrying out the provisions 01 the foregoing res
olution.
The resolution had been before the. Senate and
ondergone some amerulmet.ts, and a motion Made
by Mr. AlvtiLmnecan, of Berke, further to amend
by striking nut the yronls " By Deeds of Peace" ,
and inserfmg in hen thereof, the words " The
Union—may it be perpetual." When the resolu
tion came up oft second reading, the question
pending being on Mr. Mrixtvemaces amendment,
Mr. M. took the floor and addressed the Senate at
length in hem of it. He forged that it was a much
more appropriate inscription than the original de
rive. and especially so in the present aspect of our
political affairs.
Mr. Noma opposed' the amendment, he thought
the original motto a good oneou the same time he
thought it useless to place any other inserii lion
upon the monument of Washington than simply his
name—that was a history in itself. Mr. P. then
passed to a consideration , of the sentiment contain
ed in the inscription, and concluded by pronoure-
Mg an euloginnt upon the character and memory of
Wr,.us Pia 11, the founder of the Commonwealth,
Mr, Davos took the same side of the question,
and in his remarks referred to the thaws made
against the integrity of Pt.. by Mac-taus, the
English historian. • He pronounced those charges
as illiberal and slanderous on the part of tirli hien?
rtan. lie liked the old Quaker because he wenld
wear his hat when in the presence of crowned
heads.
I►lr. Krim requested the Senator to withdraw his
amendment; he did not wish to pat in • position
to vote against a pripoeition declaring the unwc.
vering fidelity of Pepnsylrani• to the Union, but he
was in favor of the bill as originally presented, and
should vote for IL '
Mr. Mon .as seen would 'not consent to with
draw his amendment, and again addressed the
Senate in favor of his proposition and against the
sentiment contained in the original resolution. lie
thought that if the honor and glory of the Common
. wealth, as had been alleged, were Wend ap with
that of Wu. Pass and the Quakers, abs was in
deed in an unfortunate condition. He referred to
the statements made by kl.rismir, and avowed
opinions similar to those entertained - by that bine.
riau, in reference to the character of him 'who hid
been celled the founder of this Commonwealth.—
The State of Pennsylvania was founded, not by
War. Pons, bat by the Germans, the -birth and the
Scotch, who came hither end subdued the wilder
ness. The followers of Penn were a close whom
he did not admire. They were not manly enough
to defend their wives and children from the. for,
but they could cheat and rob the poor Indian.
• Mr. M'Csamt was in favor of the amendment
of the Senator (gm Berks. He thought it a direct
insult to the memory if WAIWIGTOS, to place upon
,a monument, intended to commemorate hie fame;
an inscription in honor of a class of men who bad

ed by the Senator from Berks.. He had made up
his mind long before be bad
. read bison-ay, that
rasst was nothing less than a fawning sycophant
of the warmest monarch that ever sat upon the
English throne. If the original motto Was adopted,
he thought it shouW at least be amended by the in
sertion of the word " fraudulent" before the word'
" deeds of peace." •
Mr. Ficssignx closed , the debate in a few chaste
and beautiful remarks. It was his lot s be said, to
• have been born in the vicinity of the spot which
had witnessed the treaty of eternal peace ; enatlo
ded between the Red man and the Father of this
, great Commonwealth Re had dwelt there from
his earliest yeah, and he never gazed upon a spot
so full of interesting associations, with other than
feelings of profound veneration. Year" after year
he had seen jhe solitary Indian pursuing his pilgri
mage from a far distant home to pay his simple
homage amid the scenes which had been rendered
sacred by the " deeds of peace" there achieved.
This was the' best commentary woe the life and
character of him tebree lair fame it was now sought
to tarnish.
Mr. Femme having :oncludesi, the question was
taken, and the amendment of Mr. bluaLcastan
negatived without a division.
Several other amendments were offered and re
jected, and the bill at length passed a final reading
by a vote of yeas 21 1 .1, nays 3.
The Committee of the Senate for Apportioning
the State into Nenatorld and Representative Dis
tricts, have finally made• a report. They have had
the subject before them a long time, and it is said
they have devoted much time and labor to its ad
justm not, in view of presetting a• bill unobieetioe
able to the moderate men of 'either party. The
bill is considered a fair one—mutual eorteemions
having been made iu framing it—while it secures
to the Democratic party a reasonable majority, it
does ample justice to the Whigs "and the reel of
mankind." The fultowing le their report
