' The House then went into a committee of the whole on the message, when Mr. Blount, after a few preliminary observations, moved the following resolutions: Resolved, That, it being declared by the second fy'dion of the second article of the conllitutian, «• That the Prcfident (hall have power, by and with the advice and content of the Senate, to make itea ties, provided two thirds of the Senate prelfnt ton cur, the House <f Reprefentativcs do not claim a iiy agency in making treaties ; but that when a treaty dipulates regulations on'tiny of the fubjeds submitted by the condittttion to the power of Con gress, it mud depend for its execution, as to filch Stipulations, on a law or laws to be paff_- j by Con gress, and it is the conllitutional tight and duty of the House of Reprefentalive?, in all such cases, to deliberate on the expediency or inexpediency of carrying such treaty into effed, and to determine and ad thereon, as in their judgment may be mod conducive to the public good. Resolved, That it is Bot necefl'aiy to the propri ety of any application frTTm t"his House to the F.xe cutive for information desired by them, and which may relate to any conllitutioual functions of/the House, that the purposes for which such informa tion may be wanted, or to which the fame may be applied, (hould be dated in the application. Mr. Harper, Mr. Dayton, and Mr. Kitchell, offered a few remarks with refjjed to the propriety of eonfidering the resolutions now moved, or those j Jaid upon the table by Mr. Kitchell a few days a- ] go ; after which, Mr. Madison rose and went at 1 length into the fubjed (his fpeeeh will appear in | course) and then the committee rose, and the House adjourned, after ordering the resolutions to be printed. • i —' AUGUSTA, March 5. Much has been said on the fubjed of the late sales of Wettern Territory by this (late ; —there is one point of view however in which I hav« ne. yer seen it considered, I (hall therefore endeavor to communicate the idea and submit it to the pub lic mind. That it requires tvio parties to make a contract is a felf evident proportion, and that it obtains ia public as well ads, is an early edablithed fad in our political exiltence ; a dittinc tion between a law regulating the public condud and a law in the nature of a contract to which the individuals concerned have either already assented by tl icir propoGtions being embraced, or to which their after consent is ncceflary if new matter or modification has been introduced, is founded upon the incontrovertible principles contained in the trite faying before recited ; and has been very accurate ly discussed by one of the mod acute American ■writers of the present day ; —fuch convidion did his reasoning carry along with it, that the Legis lature of Pennsylvania who had repealed the Ad ly which the inditution, now known as the North , American bank was created, at the next lieflion af ter its appearance, repealed the repeal, and antici pated the spirit of our national Conditution which has edabhfhed the immutability of our contrads, beyond the power, even of Government to affed. Now, as thefirdad to which the companies were, indubitably, a party, was rejeded by the Executive, and the Supplementary Ad, which was a very dif ferent modification, and limply a compromise bet ween the component parts of the Legislature, hold ing out another offer to the companies, which they might accede to, or otherwise as they chose, and to which the companies did not in fad become a party, until after the adjournment of the general AfTembly ; now, I fay, ?s the companies were not a party in this Aid during the feflion, how can they be chargeable with exerpifing bribery, andcor tuption in the pafling of a law to which they did not know whether they would be a party or not ; or rather how can those charges in any shape be maintained, for admitting all the venal iniquity which even the Splenrtic Sicilius nllcdges, it cannot apply t6 tliis ad, it was not the result of those ca ballir.gs which he reprobates ; it was, as has been said a compromise bet ween the executive and deli berative departments of government, upon the prin ciple of difapptoving of that ad which had already pasTed both houses, and with the falling of which, the obloquy or responsibility incurred by the com panies, did of course fall with it.

FRIENDLY ADVICE, TO THE INDUSTRIOUS POOR; Or, how to make much of a Little in Times of I. The poor man who resits or broils his meat throws it halt into the fire. 11. The poor man who boils it—throws hall away in the water. ill. The poor man who turns it all into broth, with a little flour, ci-tmeal, rice or pease, according to their price, wants the lrfs bread, and has twicc the quantity for his money. IV. Hubs, such as carrots, ctlery, turnips, and forr.c cabbage and onions; but efpet-ially leeks, if Hill fried till a little brown m the fat, from the broth, and then boiled therein, will make a rich fesft st a small txpence. V. Onions are the best of herbs. The idolatrous Egyptians wprfliipped tbem :—better worfliip them than th* gin iott/e. VI. The poor always get the bed penny-worth who buy where most fit together in the open mar ket ; and bargains re always cheapcrlt at the latter end of the day. When honcft men have done their work, better go to market than the ale-house. VII. The poor who deal on trult may expect to be gtievowfly chcatcJ; for many (bop-keepers sup pose they mean to cheat them ; Therefore they llrive to be before-hand with them.—The ready penny always fetches the bed baigain. VIII. They that ran fcaree keep themselves, or a chiM, (hould H. ver k«*ep a dog. IX. Gin is boifr.n ; he that drinks it gives him felffalfe fpitks'for a while, and rots his liver all the while. If a gin mater be not the greatest enemy to the public, a gin drinker is the greatest enemy to himfelf and family. X. One penny-worth of broth, milk, or even watei gruel, or beer, to a hard working man in the morning, i? worth twelve penny-worth of tea. If tea be good to them who eat too much, it is ruin l<> litem who eat too little. Let the poor be at half the expence for beer as they are tor tea, and they will do twke the work. L.et Inch try for a month, after that their miserable tea-flops will make them faint and lick. XI. Sugar and Tea were never in general uft till about sixty yea's ago ; since the pjor have beer Tca-dri»keis, half of them have been beeeared anc liar ver!. XII. The complair:?

That may be ; but by .vhom are we taxed mod ? Let a man reekon whether many are not taxed tw ice as much by their folly, three times as much by their drun kenness, and four times as much by their laziness more than they are by the government ; and then lay if they have a tight to complain, because the Shoe pinches, when they made it upon their own lafl. XIII. Let then all, to a man, rife againjt them felvcs who thus tax and injure tbifnfelves, and the 1 rimes will be better. Let th* poor do good to themselves at home, and then thry will find good in. being at home.—lt is a true Proverb, " God htlps them that help thenafelves." 'XV. The prior man a p'ofii is t® be found in his time. And loft time is never to befonnd again. Laziness travels flow ; but Poverty soon over takes it. XV I. Induflry will make a man a purse, and frugality will give him firing# to it. This purse will cod him nothing. They that have it wity only dr?w the firings as frugality directs, and will al ways find a ufeful penny at the bottom of rt. XVII. The Servants of induflry are known by their livery ; it is always whole and wholesome. Next look at the ragged slaves of lazintfs, and theft ask, who serves the bell mailer. XVIII. Let a Nobleman {hake an honed but poor man by the hand, aftd he does himftlf a.i honor ; while the bow ofa lazy beggar is an insult to all. XIX. They who provide you with cheap food, in a time of feverc want, requell you above all things to remember that the fear sf Gecf in a poor Man's house, is a little estate. Sinninjr is an ex penlive trade : ask those that pra&ice it > XX. The fear rf God will make a man think well, and aft well ; and when he oeed» if* God will provide him a fiiend. Did you erer find alia« ceie but poor Cbri((;an a common Beggar t XXI. The man who laughs at the fear cf God, is your word enemy, and teaches you to be your own enemy also. , XXU. Remember fin ii the greattft evil; the Salvation of Christ, the best good ? and grace to change the heart, the pcor man's richdt treasure— Let the poor man then find his way to ihe eheapei't market on the Saturday, to that place of worship where he can meet with the belt advice on the Sun day, and go like an honed man to his labour on the Monday ; folfoiving these rules, he vtri Ibe hap py twice over, happy in timr, happy to all E tcrnity.
