Spice and Good Rumor. find the following report of Mr. Joessos's recant speech •in the House of Representatives, in the Neer York Herald, furnished by its Washing ton Cornispondeut. Mr. W aumiCost Jon ssori at the even ing eession of the 12th, rose and requested Mr. Pope to give way, as he evidently up. ~ peered eithausted, and he would pledge him -eel!' and the honor, of every member on the `floor,thathe would be listened to on to mor. row with tho greatest pleasure, for the con. elision of his able acd eloquent discussion. Mr. Pope acceded to the ,proposal. Some gentleman moved that the committee rise, but withdrew his motion at the request of' Mr... Johnson. Mr. Chairman, said'he, in thus thrusting myself upon your patience at this late hour !appeal to the magnanimity of gentlemen in the hope that they will indulge me for a short half hour. The question before us is all im portant to the great farming interest of the country. I have the honor of representing that interest exclusively. I said sir, I would crave your attention fora half hour. When Walter Scott was asked why ho had not written the Life of Bonaparte in one volume, he said, I had not time. If 1 should encroach upon the time , I have limited to myself, I pray you to con aiderthe answer of the Northman writer as _applicable to myself. I have not had the lime to dive into the question in all its bear ings, and consequently shall not be able to express myself in the brightest tied most feli citous manner. Before I go nny further, as we are in corn mitteo Considering this question and the state Of the whole union, 1 will , take this occasion -a rendering the amende honorable to the Post Master General. I stated in my place on a former occasion that the Post Office Department was corrupt to the core. In saying so I did not mean that the Postmas. ter General was personably liable to the ac .cusationr And I would have then disclaim ed imputing any , such crime to that gentle . man, but for the fact, that I was met wtth two challenges, five threats to be cowhided, - end God knows how many. menaces to be caned to death. had said,and I say it now, if any man ettlling himself a • gentleman, were to challenge me, I would accept his proposition without delay. Under such cir cumstances .1 could not explain. Now sir, these things have been all arranged, and I lake- pleasure in saying that I did not mean any thing effensive to the Postmaster Gene ;al Personally. But to the question before us. The con ',duct of the member from South Carolina (Mr. Pickene) and of several Virginia mem bers, appears to me to be most inexplicable. They come up here with the Constitution in .their hands to preach against the banking eystem. Well sir, do they give us a plain commori sense view of this instrument? No .sir. They appeal to the opinion of Mr. Jef. Person! Now I do protest against this pro fanation of that great man's name. No one ran reverence it more than I do; but I•read :the Constitution and dare to interpret it for myselfaccording to the reason God has giv. ,en hie. Not so with these patriotic South Carolinians and Virginians. There were men in Virginia and . South Carolina sir, to ` , Aimee gone by who dared to think for them 'Delves iointerpreting•this instrument. They are, gone, and-we have in their stead a host iireew, lights depending for their thoughts, - Allele opinions, their political creed and their legislative principles non Thomas Jefferson and-tbe teue . „ !rpm doctrines of 1798. Between these two authorities they veer from time to time, and when they no longer twit !heir views they fly to James Madison. For . in glat,me,"gaptleinen What would you do if the paint d'appui of your political lever were oricstroyed ? They would be in the condition of the *other of the present Attorney General of Maryland (Mr. Bailey.) On the eastern -shore of Maryland, in former times, there WftEl a knot of sincere federalists. They were in the habit of meeting every week to get merry and sing over their cups. These were theclays of American hospitality,sir. [Mem. .bers crowded round the speaker; and there was complete silence.] The news of the death of General Hamilton was received at one of their feasts where wine and reason flowed in equal streams. They broke their glasses for grief at the loss of the great chief of the Federal party. Various were the la inenta made by every one of the coterie. Mr. Baileily had set all the while silent. His grief was of the deepest dye. He emptied his glass however, more frequently than usual. At last he broke out with an earnestness or man ner that quieted his companions: 'Gentle. men,' said he, '1 have more cause of grief than any of you. It can never,be assuaged while 1 live!' What is it; what is it?' were the exclamations consequent on this hold de claration. 'Whilst General Hamilton lived, hill :opinions perfectly accorded with mine.

He did not like your modern poltti cians,seck to get under the shield of Thomas Jefferson. God knows they want some place to hide their Lilliputian notions tn,and they have justly chosen the Virginia doctrines and Thomas Jefferson. In another branch of this Legislature, we have seen, on a most magnificent scale, the grand play of hide and seek. The gentle- man who, within a felt/ week' past, sustained the principal character, enacted it so admi rably that old Proteus, when caught by the shepherds, was thrown into the shade. I tried to follow him air, in his two late speeches, but my brain became bewildered. Before 1 would follow in his wake, ns his friends on this floor have done, I would cut my political juggular I [A hearty laugh, and all eyes turned on Mr. Pickens, who laughed too.] We have been told sir, by the gentleman from Virginia, Mr. Robertson, that we are to legislate for posterity. This reminds me of a debate in the Irish Parliament. Some members, equally fortunate, had uttered the same unwise doctrine. He was called. to account in the severest manner. The Irish man rose to explain. "Misther Speaker, by posterity 1 did not mane our ancistors, but but the gineration that immediately sooc. ceded thim, and hence I say, as postherity can do no goode to us, lit postherity take care of itsel." The gentleman's reasons for not legislating for posterity are equally lucid with those of the Irishman. [Here the laughter became so loud and continued so long, that Mr. J. caught the infection and laughed too.] This same gentleman tells us sir, of his 'voting for the bill brought in, in 1834, by General Gordon. I sat, Mr. Chairman, when the ayes and noes on that bill were taken, just where our distinguished Senator now sits. [Mr. Webster was sitting on the platform on the left of the Chairman. All eyes were turned towards him. He blush• ed to the eyes—pretty good for a lawyer 1] I was philosophising Some membeis turn ed pale—some red—some fidgetted—some were silent, and some walked out of the House, when their names were called. But the old hardened sinners, the regular green hag politicians, never blenched or blushed. They voted with all the sang froid of the In dian. Among the latter I noticed my able' friend, the member from Virginia, Mr. Robertson. [Convulsed laughter. Mr. R. blushed this tithe.] He talks,Mr. Chairmnn,of divorce., Why sir, he tried to marry the people .to this same measure in 1934. It was a skeleton then, he says. Now, 1 have no love for skeletons.

[Poor Robertson looked as if he could shoot Johnson. Laughter loud er than ever.] Mr. Johnson continued for one hour and a half in this felicitous strain, exposing the vanity, folly, ignorance and rascality of the politicians on the floor of the House. I have given you the marrow of hie discourse. He wound up by showing the disastrous effects of Mr. Calhoun's amendment upon the pro• ductive labor oft he country. The Home-Alr. Cady. ocy.Our readers recollect the account published two weeks since of the wreck of the "Home," and loss of life. Several statements have since ap peared, in which the Captain of the vessel is charged with having been drunk ut the time of the wreck.! The following is an extract from a letter published by Mr. Ceer, one of the survi ving passengers, in the Concord (N. H.) States man, in which he says— All went on well till Sunday noon, when the fiea was heavy and the wind blew hard; but we were told there was no danger. The wind continued, and Monday was a sorry day—all wore long faces—heard no re marks but in regard to our situation. At about five o'clock our fears were increased —the boat began to leak and our captain lay drunk in his qfficei I Luckily we had two experienced eel; captains on board, who took the command, and then immediately ordered all hands, male and female, dipping water, which order, every one complied with till we found ourselves on shore. Then it was that a scene occurred which I pray God I may never again witness. One hun dred and forty souls screaming. wailing, dy ing.! Some crying to wives—some to mothers, some to daughters and sons—some imploring mercy from on high—some fran• tic with agony, dashing themselves amidst the crumbling wreak. I stood on the wheel house, next to a man and his wife, and such pitiful groans as came from the poor crea tures are wholly indescribable. Close by me, also, stood a woman, with a child, and as she hung on the wreck with one hand, and her darlingin the other, a surf came and washed her child from her; and such was her fright, that she leaped over board, and with a most piteous screech, ex claimed, "0 my child," and di-appeared forever I I remained till the last one, and was fortunate enough to be one of the 1(4 Survivors. After reaching the shore, I im mediately commenced hauling in trunks and bodies, and was fortunate enough to find old Mrs. Lacoste, about half covered with water, just expiring, and saved her life.— Presently I found others who' were as fortu nate as myself, and we divided—Tart went for assistance and van kept on shore watch ing fRr trunks , and bodies. The wind blew vily, and being drenched with water, and some of us entirely naked, could only keep alive by travelling.

Correspondence of the Gettysburgh Star. lIAIiItISBURG, October 25, 1837. The following resolution was this morning sub mined by Mr. Dunlop: Resolved, That as soon as the present article is passed upon in Committee of. the Whole, that all further proceedings towards Amendments of the Constitution shall cease, and that the Convention will proceed to consider upon second reading those which have already beeit acted upon in Committee of the Whole, so that a speedy adjournment of this body may be effected. The Convention refused to proceed to the sec ond reading and consideraiion of the resolution, by a vote of 85 to 20. So it of course lies upon the table. The Convention than again resolved itself into a Committee of the Whole, on the report of the Committee on the sixth article of the Constitution. The amendment of Mr Bell being again under consideration the Committee were addressed by Messrs. Darlington, Biddle, Fuller and Martin.— . An amendment was then offered to the amendment by Mr. Martin, to strike therefrom all before the word imor," and insert in lieu thereof the words imo freeman shall be compelled to bear arms"— whieh after being discussed at considerable length by Messrs. Porter, of Northampton ; Cummin, Nice.ihen and Sturdevant, of Luzerne, was with drawn. Mr. Bell then modified his amendment to read as follows, viz :—“Those who conscientiously scruple to bear arms, shall not be compelled to do so, nor, except in times of exigency or war, to pay an equivalent therefor." Messrs. Forward, Banks, Reigart and Merrill addressed the Committee this afternoon on the amendment of Mr. Bell—the Committee then rose without the question being taken on the amendment, October Itti, The amendment of Mr. Bell was further discuss sed this forenoon by Messrs. Shellito, PU - rViatICO, Woodward, Chno and Scott, until within a few minutes of the hour of adjournment, when the question was tuk.en and determined in the nega tive, 44 voting for, and 76 against it, The mem bers present voted as follows, vjz : YEAS—Messrs.

Various amendments were offered and rejected: The vote striking from the report of the Commit tee the words "Thoso who conscientiously scruple to bear arms, shall not be compelled to do so, but shall pay an equivalent for personal service," was re-considered, and the words heretofore stricken out, restored. After the restoration of the words stricken out, an amendment was offered by Mr. Bell, which was cut off by a call of the previous question. The main question was the 14th sec tion of the report of the Committee as amended in the words following, viz: The freemen of this Commonwealth shall be armed, organized and disciplined for its defence, when, and in such manner as may be directed by law. ' Those who conscien tiously scruple to bear arms shall not be compelled to do so, but shall pay an equiva lent for personal service._ The final vote on the section is as follows, viz: YEAS—Messrr.

Thus this question, which has so long occupied the attention of the Convention in Committee of the Whole, has at length received ita quietus for a time at least. After the *late was taken; the Committee ad journed until to-morrow. The report of the Committee has now been act ed upon in Committee of the Whole, with the ex ception of one section, which is on the subject of excluding all persons who may hereafter be enga ged in any duel, either as principal or second, from holding any office of trust or profit within tins Commonwealth. HARRISBURG, October 27, 1837 The fifteenth and last section of the report of the Committee on the sixth article of the Consti• talon NAB this day passed through Committee of the Whole, amended to read ail follows, viz : "Any person who shall, alter the adoption of the amendments proposed by this Convention to the Constitution, fight a duel, or knowingly be the bearer of a challenge to fight:a duel, or send or ac cept a challenge for that purpose, or be eider or abettor in fighting a duel, shall be deprived of the right of holding any office of honor or profit in this State, and shall bo punished otherwise in such manner as is, or may be prescribed by law, but the Executive may remit the said offence and all its disqualifications." On motion of Mr. Fuller-- Tho Convention then resolved itself into a Com. mime of the Whole, Mr. McSherry in the Chair, on the report of the Committee to which mot re ferred the fifth (Judiciary) article of the Constitu tion. Mr. Hopkinson, of tho city of Philadelphia, commenced a speech in support of the Constitution on the subject of the Judiciary—after having spo ken nbout half an hour, he suspended his remarks and the Committee rose. He will of course resume his argument to morrow. HARRISBURG, October 28, 1837, Mr. Fuller presented a memorial from citizens of Fayette county, on the subject of amendments to the Constitution. It savors strongly of real radicalism, asking among other things n provision for the tender of any part of the bbonus" paid, end rescinding the charter of the United States Bank of Pennsylvania. After the transaction of the mornir g business which was not of much general interest, the Con vention again resolved itself into a Cominittee of the Whole, Mr. McSherry in the Chair, on the report of the Committee on the fifth article of the Constitution, Judge Hopkinson resumed his re marks and spoko until the hour of adjournment arrived, when he gave way fora motion for the rising of the Sommittco, without coming to a con clusion. He will doubtless occupy a considerable portion of Monday. He is entirely opposed to any change with regard to the Judiciary, and has, I think, satisfactorily shown, that the independence of the Judiciary can only be maintained, by pla cing it entirely beyond the control of the Will of the Executive or Legislative departments of the Government. He has displayed a fund of know: ledge and historical research, which justly entitle him to that high reputation which ho has so long rind.so deservedly sustained. HARRISBURG, October 30,41837 In my last I informed you that the Convention resolved itself into a CoMmittee of the Whole, Mr. MeStuarts: in the Chair, on the report of the Committee on the fifth article of the Constitution. As it would doubtless be interesting to your read ers to know what the question is before the Com mittee, I will insert it at length. The majority of the Committee on the fifth article it is known, re ported no amendment to the present Constitution, so far as the Judges of the several Courts are con cerned—whereupon, when the Convention went into Committee of the Whole, Mr. WoonwArtn offered as an amendment to the second section of the fifth article of the Constitution, the following, (being part of the report of the minority of the Committee on the fifth article) which is now the question under consideration, viz: "The Judges of the Supreme Court shall hold their offices respectively flur the term of ten years, but may be re appointed. The President Judges of the several Courts of Common Pleas, and the Judges of , the sev eral District Courts, •and of such other Courts as now are, or hereafter may be es tab!ished by law, shall hold their offices for the term of seven years, but may be reap pointed. The Associate Judges. of the sev eral Counties shall hold their offices for the term of five years, but may be reappointed. "For any reasonable cause, which shall not be sufficient grotind of impeachment, the Governor may remove any of the said Judg es on the address of two-thirds of each branch of the Legislature. The said Judg. es shall at stated times, receive for their ser• vices, adequate salaries, to be fixed by law, which shall not be diminished during their continuance in office, hut they shall receive no fees, travelling expenses, per diem allow ances, or perquisites of office, nor hold any other office of profit under this Cominon• wealth. Provided, That after the ratifi cation and adoption of this Constitution, the Governor shall, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, re•uppoint one of the then' existing Judges of the Supreme Court for the term of two years, one of them for the term of four years, one of them for the term of six years, one of them for the term of eight years, and one of them for the term of ten years; end whenever any vacancy occurs in the Bench of the Supreme Cowt, by the death, resignation or removal of any Judge thereof, the Governor shall, in the manner aforesaid, fill such vacancy by the appointment of a Judge for the unexpired term of the Judges se deceased, resigning or removed."

Seecidly. That no perscin, who is, or , shall be a Indite of the Supreme or any inferior Court, shill be eligible to any other office in this Common wealth ; that this ineligibility shall continuo until the expiration of twn years from end after he shall have ceased to hold his office; and that if any person holding the office of a Judge of the Su preme or any inferior Court of this Commonwealth shall be a candidate for any legislative, executive or judicial office under the Government of the 11. States, his office shall be thereby vacated. Thirdly. The legislature shall provide by law for the appointment of commh.sioners to take the depositions of witnesses in cases of complaints made against any of the Judges of the Supreme or inferior Courts, and that the depositions of wit nesses thus taken may be read on the trial of th 6 party accused, unless ho shall specially domand their personal attendance. Mr. Forward gave notice that he would call for the second reading and consideration of the above resolutions scene day this week. The Convention then again went into Commit tee of the Whole nn the report of the Committee on the fifth article of the CumAitutiOn. Mr. Wood ward resumed his remarks in support of his amend ment, and concluded, after addressing the Commit tee about half an hour, Mr, POUTER, of North ampton, then took the floor, and addres3ed the Committee about an hour and a half in opposition to the amendment. He was followed by Mr. Men; ta,, of Union, who addressed the Committee in a very able speech of about two hours, in opposi tion to the amendment, The Committee then rose, and the Convention adjourned until 3 o'clock in the afternoon, In the afternoon the Convention again went into Committee of the Whole, when Mr. DicKEr offered the following as an amendment to the re port of the Committee in lieu of that offered by Mr. Woodward: "The Judges of the Supreme Court, of the several Courts of Common Pleas, and of such other Courts of Record ns are, or shall be established by law, shall be nominated by the Governor, (and by and with the con• sent of the Senate appointed) and commii. sinned by him. The Jud Tea of the Supreme Court shall hold their °likes for the term of fifteen years, if they shall so long behave themselves well. The President Judges of the several Courts of Common Pleas, and of such other Courts of Record as are, or shall be established by law, and all other Judges required to be learned in the law, shall hold their offices for the term often years, &they shall so long behave themselves well The Associate Judges of the Courts of Common Pleas shall hold their offices for the term of five years, if they shall so long benavo them selves well. But for any reasonable cause, which shall not ho sufficient ground of itn• peachtnent, the Governor may remove any of them eh the address of two.t birds of each branch of the legislature. The Judges of the Supreme Court, and the Presiden:s of the several Courts of Common Pleas, shall at stated times receive, for their services, an adequate compensation, to' be fixed by law, which shall not be diminished during their continuance in office, but they shall receive no fees or perquisites of office, nor hold opy other o ffi ce of pro fi t. under this Commonwealth, The amendment was adopted by a vote of 03 to 51.

The adoption of this amendment produced con siderable fluttering and uneasiness in . the ranks of the real radicals, coming somewhat unexpectedly, and to the great iletriment of many a fine speech that had been prepared for the occasion. But they must be delivered, whether upon the subject of the judiciary or on that of currency and corporations. General Intelligence. TIIE GREAT FLOUR MARKET OF AbIER. ICA.—Rochester, in the State of New York, is probably the greatest flour market in America. Several of the flour mills are of stone, and eight stories high, by a length of nearly 300 feet. There are 21 mills, with 96 run of stones, in Rochester. To keep these in operation requires 70,000 bushels of wheat daily.—They can manufacture and put up ready for .market 5000 bbls. of flour daily. It is stated, that up to August in last year, 800,000 barrels of flour were sent from that place alone, worth about $4,- 000,000.

A negro, named "lien Smith" was discovered in the act of carrying ofra couple of shoats, the property of Mr. Benjamin Peart, a respectable farm er. Mr. P. advanced and seized the robber, and in the struggle received a "thrust from the knife in the stomach, and continued cut quite across it," and several other wounds. He still, however, held on, and cried for help. A man by the name of Cruzer, living opposite, came to his assist ance. The negro fled. Cruzer pursued and overtook him, but when in the act of seizing him, was felled by the knife, which was driven up to the hilt in the stomach.— The assassin is now in the County Jail. `We learn that Mr. Peart has since died of his wounds; it is expected Mr. Cruzer will recover.—Luncuster Inteligeneer.

HENRY CLAY.-••••• 4 t is nay/ thirty.one years since the distingiiishen Civilian, whose name heads this paragraph, first appeared in the National Councils. In 1806, he en tered the Senate of the United States; and, since that period, either as Senator or Rep resentative, his sentiments upon every great question of National policy . have been Wore the country. His proloand views as a Statesman. his patriotism and eloquence, have constantly added to his reputation, at home and abroad. Mingling, as ho has, in all the great debates and political contests which have successively occupied and agi ' tated the National Legislature, his supre• ! macy, as "lord of the debate," has been at every successive onset, the more conSpicu : cats and unquestioned. In those debates, always animated, often angry, and some ! times tumultous, he has ever stood mishit' ken in the cause of his country and the peo ple. Through all the revolutions oft:4oles —through all the phases of rising and set of waxing and waning Statesmen, he has been the same. His step has been even onward- Nothing has arrested, nothing impeded it. What, if his countrymen, se duced by the glare of military glory, listen ed to vile calumnies on his name, and, fora moment, seemed to withdraw from him the light of their countenance 1 He only strived the hard ~.4o show the nation, that though he could'tiot "command success," yet how richly .he "deserved" it. • Other and more splendidrtions he may yet make, but none can add lustre to the palm he has al. ready won. No nublic man of the day can be found, whose life, as a whole, has sur passed his in demonstrations of undeviating patriotism, or whose affection fbr his coun try and its institutions has been more enthu siastic and unabated.
