-
exceeds the power of my peo., '
W o Have not• room to , give even' an abstract of
the speech' which was about seism hours in length.
We give, however one paragraph , relating to Mr.
Ingersoll whiiih is a fair specimen of the 'severity
which cliara+zed some portjons of the Speech.
Speaking of Mr. Ingersoll, Mi.,Web.ters says.:
says he does not agree with Mr.,Webster
in politics—l DM glad (said Mr. W.) he dors not
—and I don't thinkvve ever could agree. Why,
fir, he said many years ago, that if he had been
old enough in the. Revolution he would have been
atm). I think it altogether don't think
I should.. Speaking of tLe Deelaratintt of Inde
pendence, he said it was ndbpted by aecident.=-
,06r Declaration of Independence adopted by ac
'eident ! He says Mr. Wetister is a loan of Went,.
Here, Mr. President, I beg to be excused—l mast
6"PPlieater I can bear the emu of the creature;
but I beseech hint noe tepraise me, for .if he does
I ;shall tremble for my reputation. He professes
to admire Massachusetts. 'Well, sir. I can tell
him the sentiment is 'hy no Means reciprocated.—
There is not a man in that State who looks upon
him with-feelings at all akin to respect.. If he id
mires her he is like that luckless swain
~W ho grieves for friwndship unreturned.
Or omit:it - 4A love."
Sir, the Common Wealth of Mesetiehusetts , hohle
him in utter whet shall I toy ? isity thing
but respect.
Mr. W. said he sometimes thought that Mr.
Ingersoll's propensity to falsehood - arose from no
malice or design, but from an obtuseness of Moral
perception, froni:a sort of habit or educatiOn ; his
mind is so grotesque ; it is rather the carricature
of a mind ; there is something wanting. Mechan
ics hive a way of expressing themselves when
things are wrong, by saying that a screw is loose.
Now id this man's mind the screws are all loysc;
it is shaking; rickety. screaking, crazy, out of
joint, as often up side dOwn as up side up; it is
all ways and no ways. [Bursts of Luigi/la from
Senators and spectators.) • .
Since the speeches of Messrs. Benton and Web
ster the Washington letter, writers state that! the
apprehension of war has almost totally-vanished.
It is now confidently anticipated that the Presi-.
dent will be authorized to compromise on the 49th`
degree;and we may therefore hope foi an amicable
adjustment of the knotty question unless Euglaud
in .her turn should beMinse stubborn.. •
The House have done hula except to posit the I
Sub Treasury Bill which. passed the House of ;
Representatives by a vote of 122 to 65... a party
vote. 'rte bill provides that the whole revenue
• ! I
of the Government, including postage's, shall -be
collected in gold arid slyer coin, on and afte'r the
first of October next. What effort this will havO I
upon the business and banks,!Of this country ti vs
rionsly conjectured, but remains to be seen. I The
bill is pretty much—almost entirely—the old Sub-
Treasury Law re-enacted. The Senate Bill Jett

CAVTION—COVIITEEFEIT COIN. --Since it has been

our Court, though there is positive evidence againSt
him, a - large quantity of spurious coin has been pus in

of lead and is of various denominations, consisting 'of
dimes, quarters and half dollars. We understand that

HOVSEOI'REPRT.FENVATIVE ' s,
Washington, April 2, 1846.
Fnrxxo BoxEn:—The friends of the present
.Tariff beie have been much alarmed by the course
'of your House in imposing, a tax on anthracite
!Coal.' It will be to all intents and, purposes, n. re
;lnuetion of the protectipn which the act of 184
give to the coal operations, ten: cents per ton.
! , If [ We at hope then declare that a duty 'of one
dollar and seventy.five cents per. ton is-no longer
,
r e q u two by that trade,nnd that it will bear a re
tluction to one dollar and stxlkfire eeels,hort can
li we ask Congress to refrain from art interference
with this act, anti the protcctioh afforded by it?
Pennsylvania would thus be anticipating those in
Congresi''who are clamorops for a modification - of
• the piesentrate of duties.
The only hope which the friends of protection
in Congress have for a continuance of that policy,
and thwarting the action of Its enemies, is in a
steady opposition.,to every change of the Tariff
. net now in force. Thr friends of the Tariff, with
I many of whom I have I coniersed on the subject,
fear that this act of Our Legislature, if it becomes a
law, will helnade to operatengainst us, with great
force in the bill which will shortly be had in Con
gress on the Tariff.
I am induced•tn address you on this subject,
because your and my constituents in Schuylkill
are so immediately intereated in this question,.
• I Very respectfully, your ob't serv't.

- COL; billTOiet3 Sexten.—The speech delivered
by Col. Benton in the Senate, on Wednesday last,
created a great sensation, and has apparently floo
red the
.54 40 members of the Senate.. He addu
ced if:moldable testimony to prove that by the trea
ty of Utrecht the 49th parallel of latitude was
recognised as the boundary line, or' at least was
established as the boundary by the commissioners
appointed under that treaty to locate line—that
Mr. Jefferson never sought to establish a higher
northern boundary ; end, in fact, that the• United
States pave no just claim beyond that limit. Gel.
Benton says=“the great fact is now established.—
The commissaries did meet under the treaty of
Utrecht; they did execute the stipulations of that
treaty; they did determine the limits between the
French and British possessions in North Ameri
ca; and the parallel of forty-nine, from the, Lake
of the Woods indefinitelylp the west, was one of
the boundaries estafilished hy them. ,
. Col. Benton attributed, the error of Gen. case,
in his denial of the fact ihat the boundary iline
bad been established under the treaty of Utrecht,
to his having consulted Greenhow's book instead
of authentic documents. make the follow
ing extracts from his speech, confident that they
will be gratifying to our readers:
"Mr. B. had .not voted for the purchase of
Greenhow 7 s hook; he
_had hut a poor opinion of
hooks compiled •in closets,for the, instruction d i
men of busine'ss. They were •generally shallow,
of no use to the informed, and dangerous to the
uninformed, whom they led astray ; and to the
indolent, who would trust to their superficial uteri-
RCS. without going to the fountain head, and seek:
I ing truth at the bottom of the well. Sp of the'
book in question. Had it not been, for Green
h ow's Oregon the Senator from Michigan would
have sought,the history of the treaty 'of Utrecht
in the authentic documents which our library con
tains, andwould have found the truth, and would
have been to-day a free-man, and not a prisoner.
as he constituted himself yesterday, in the hands
of the Forty-Nines. Ile-is now' their prisoner,
doomed to dwell at -49. He is not killed but ta
ken, We may say of him as the consoling mes
senger raid lo'Penelope :
"The great Ulysses is not dead,
"But, far front wife and.son,
"Ileliees a prisoner on a desert isle,'
- I will not follow the poet and say
" Detained by savage men r•
For the Forty-Nines. are not savage, but peaceful
and merciful, and will allow the captive the full
liberty of his person, on his parole of honor yes
terday, given, en a condition now become absolute,
newer to pass 49; never to use again that name of
omen, the Russian line. This is ,a sad termina
tion--almost ridiculous—Of his warlike commence
ment. It is the fruit of his dependence on Green
how's book. That book has been the little dog
of his catastrophe. Henceforth the Senator's oc
cupation is gone. War—inevitable war—can no
longer he the burden of his song. War is now'
evitsble. Inevitable has reversed its application.
It is peace that. is, inevitable,. and henceforth we
must hear that dulcet sound. . • •
The effect of this change in the Senator's posi
tion -must he great. On the Grecian band, of
whom he is the Agamemnon, it must have a most
diminishing effect_ That band for some months
have been sitting for the picture which the .poet
drew of our grand . mothers in the time of long
waisted gowns and tight
•
I! "01=11 by deirces and beautifully lees."
But'now the sudden deduction of so much weight
and 'strength.. in the person of their chief, must ,
leave them almost nothing. On the future con-.
duct of the.campaign it must haven deCiaive ef
fect, for the kitties of this expedition, both big
and little, must renounce it-' l when the great chief
has imposed tbe,,, penalty of silence and inaction
on himself. On t i e country it must have a fine
effect, for the alarms.of war will suddenly cease.
On The 'freasury - the effect will be delightful. The

to be wanted. The Military and NaVal Commit.
tees, if not wise have at least been Iticky. They
delayed to report. bills for these thirty millions,
and to-day they become unnecessary. Inactivity,
in them, if not masterly, has at least been profita
ble; it hTt saved thirty millions of extra-taxes,
or loans to the people
'v Thus one' by onears Senators defining their
positions on this all-important question—and we
think that, before the vote is taken it will be seen,
that a large ,majority of them are in favor of as
suming the 49th parallel of latitude as the basis
of settlement between 'the two countries, and of
course opidaed to engaging in war for "the whole
of Oregtin or none." Col. Benton has not left
the 54 90 members an inch of ground upon which
to stand; lie has swept . the whole from under their
feet; and they must eithei unite with the 49 mem
bera, of : favor an unjust and iniquitous. war We
aro glad‘to hear Col. Benton speak so positively
as to the continuance of peace, for his -voice will
have a powerful influence not only with the Senate
but with the whole country. -
