by law as after the 20th June. 1W-:, to im, crease said rate of duty beyond 20 per cent. ad valorem, to be computed according to the provisions of the act of 2d March, 1 '. the distribution of iti proceeds of the pub lic lands provideJ for by this act shall cease during the existence of such rate of dasy,.andshallbe. renewed-whenever such rate of duty shall be reduced to20 percent unless prohibited by the other provisionsof this act." Mr. Benton objected to this on various giounds, which will be hereafter given. Mr. King-'could support it. -Ifit was to be understood as coverin; the object aimed at by his amendment. Mr. Mangum (who yesterday denonn cod Mr. King's anendnictat as going to de feat the bill) came forward in support of Mr. Berrien's revised editon of it; saying that be did not con-ider it us of much im partance one way or the othcr, and would therifre vote for it now, although ho bad apposed it yesterday. Mr. Morehead of Kentucky, also stated that he would vo:e rt the atneudmncut he had opposed yeziterday. With this impres sion of the aimtendment given out by Ilessrs. Berrien, Mangun. nod Morehead. he itat iras about to be taken, when Mr. tiies rope and said be did not understand Saiend'ment of Mr. Berriet as being at all the same as that proposed by Mr. King aftlabama. - Mr. Berrien's proposition, be showed provided that if by law, an in crease of "duty beyond 20 per cent. ad va lorem" should be imposed on "imported articles," then the land distribution should biarrested. But, according to thepropo wan of Mr. King, which followed, the topromise act, when the~ increaso be d 2per cent. ad valorem," 'on .any ported article" should be imposed, the distribution was to be arrested. Mr. Rives tlplained, that under Mr. Berrien's amend fient a protective tariff might be levied greatful beyond 20 per cent. ad valorem. WK Berrien's proposition only guarded against raisig a tariff, on all imported Or ticles in the agregate, beyond twenty per eUL ad valorem. The comproniso act, and Mr. King's amendment, intended to guard against putting a duty beyond twen ty per cent. on any imported articles. Mr. Berrien professed that he did not eusgn his amendment to attain this end. Mr. Rives tested it, by tendering the fol lowing amendmenr to Mr. Berric'a propo AGtO. Strike out all after the word provided, to 1833, inclusive, and insert..-That if a higher duty than 20 per cent. as establish ed by the act of the 2d 5larch, 1833, shall be laid on any article to be levied after the 30th of June, 1842." - Mr. Berrien, after at first acceding to this proposition, (on consult ation, probably, with th- person who put bis own coutri vance id 's hand to cheat the South into a consent to a violation of the compromine act, at the same time that it surrendered the public lands to nake a high tariff ne essai'y,) declined accepting the amend ment, and it was voted down. Messrs. Bales, Huntington, and others from Staes favorable to a high protective tarif,'uterly protested against any at tempt td'introduce any guarantee in the distribuijpa bill, thatithe maximum of the e piromite acom puld no be tran in cafele delcit ~W b th J6cched render high duties necessary. The detection of the fraud conatemplated by Mr. Berrien's plan, and the determina ton evinced by the Tariff Senators ntot to resign the advantage which they might at tain by the wants brought on the Treasury by the distribution of its land revenue pro die d a state of feeling which spoke out all round the Senate, Mr. Benton. Mn, Calhoun, Mr. King, and Mr. Walker ex claimed against the now apparent treachbe ry meditated against the compromise net. Mr. Morehead of Kentucky, perceiving the excitement, moved an adjournment, although it wsas but dinner time, notwith atanding the majority had forced a sitting until nine o'clock last night to carry the biutribution bill, and had resolv-ed to sit it due to-day. Mr. Clay kept out of sight in the conm mittee rooms white the fraudulent gamo was playing b'y Mr. Bert-ien as stool pige on, and his frienad Mtr. Matngum as fuwler. lie came in, however, over tund ainon, and, when he saw his trick had failed, retired itt a rage. Tuz Hous.-M1r. Sergeant now of fored a resolution to take the liouse bill No. 14, out of the Committee of the WVhole this day at-4 p. mo., and before it was road, moved the previous questiau. Mr. Cave Johnson of Tennessee asked Mr. Sergeant if he woiLj not give the members time to read the bilU coutaining 38 pages, before asking them to vote. Mr. Roosevelt of New York said he would suggest to the mover to amend cte resolution by itnsertitng the word itnstauter instead of 4 'clock. They might as well have no time, as this mere maockerv. AMr. Sergeant, now modified his resolu lion by striking out to-day and insertinag Monday. Mr. Chat. Brown of Penmnsvlvania now rote to give his, reasons fo~r not voting upoua the resolution. lec had nothing to ask from the courtesy of tha House. lie did tnot wish to be placed in a false position. lHe had heard no itmproper debate yet upon the "Fiscal Corporation," nor could he tell, until the debate proceeded whether he would or would not take the bill out of committee on Monday afteroon-perhaps if it was found to he a bill for "heading Captain Tyler," be might be against ta iag it out at all. The Speak er called Mr. Brown to order, bicanse h alluded to Captain Tyler, a ' gbadonary of the countray. - r. Holmes of Sotith Carolhna propoun det the question to the Chair. whether a Ca aist was.a high functionary, although u- meral might be. -Mr. Brown said a Captain Tyler com taanded a ena boat sbat sailed from Philgdelphia to Pittsbarg. lie knew no psher captain of that name. 'Mr. Olif'ord of Beside movest that Mr. Erewalife pieruitted to proceed in order. MNisNotforIenessee demanded the ysanass and they were ordered, and ~ye99uays91. maurks. Hie said he did nut intend any disseapet to the high'functionary, as as sumed by the Speaker. The Spcaker said be sat him down fur irrelevaneyo and not- for disrespect. Mr. B-own said he was glad of it, as at present advised, the high funcionary allu ded'to stood second to no man in his opina tou. Mr. Brown was called to order. . He said ifgentlemeni would tell him. hat he could say, and be in order, he would be obliged to them. The Speaker told him to take his seat.. Mr. Rheit of South Carolina now ruse to ofler his reasonsa for asking to te excused from voting. le did so with all respect it the House, and lest he should forget himself in the excitenent or the time, he had written thei down, and asked the I louse to permit him to put thet upon the journal. liis reasons were: 1. Because the rule by which the rein lution.is proposed, is a violation rf th spirit of tle Constitittion of the Unitel States, which declares that the freedom of speech and of the press sballnot bo abridgOd by any law of Congress. 2. Because it destrovs the character of this hodv as a deliberative assembl, a right to deliberate and discuss measures being no longer in Congress but with the majority ouly. 3. Becitose it i, a violation of the rights of the people or the United States through their Representatives,. inherited fron their ancestors, and enjoyed and practised from time immemorial, tu speak to the taxes im posed upon them when taxes are imposed. 4. Because, by the said rule, a hill may be taken up in Committee of the Whole, be immediately reported to the House, and by the aid of the previous question, be pas sed into alaw withoit one word of debate being permitted or uttered. 5, Because free discussion of tha laws by which the people are governed, is not only essential to right legislation, but is necessary to the preservation of the Coa saitution, and the liberties of the people; and to fear or suppressit, isthe character istic of t)rauuics and tyrants only. 6. lecause-the msea.ure proposed to be forced through the lluise within less than two days' consideration, is one which deeply al'ects the inat-grity of the Constitu lion and tle liberties of the people; ad to pass it with haste ad without due deliber uWion, would evitco a contmptuous disre gard of either, and may be a fatal viola. tion of both. The vote was then taken upon excusing .lr. Rhett, by yeas and uays, and there were-yeas tz, tays 119. Air. Itheit asked to have the reasons placed upon the journal. Not in order. Mr. Kennedy of Indiana arose to, ask to be excused from voting upon the resolut iota, because it was imposible for hitls :o say now, before debate has commr.enced, and before he had exaniued the new Fissal Corporation, whether he would or wiould not be prepared to vote upon the bill upon Mlouday, at 4 p. mn. lie had atother rea son-he hadl seen it stated, in one of the morning papers, itat a Fiscal Corporation. was to be introduced, for theo pturpo headinag oflahe President.

We h.ve otudied the rudintnas-of our politi al taith ini adveraity, sirroundled by many bit-, ter teinleo, whose fathers were tories in the days of the Rlevolution, and hke -he refines' gild. we trari, we have come rta from the crucible of political persecution purified by fire and tamped with the iipress of liberty lay tl, hanas of our teacher. The pri. ctples atund practice of dth apostle of Democra. cay-thel inunotal Jefferson-harve been the Saindard by which we delighted to neasurn and he oneasured. and every hur has implanted the truth still dea per in our heart, that the only pato fir the ( atriot to tread i. in the highway or ouar ticussed (-onstitutiono, illuwined by the reso lutiona oaf '!H. Our biainess is with the reason, and not the basne pasions,. of men ; and our faith is not of that consa'nient kind that inclines us to become all things to all nen, or to be transferred firimt nttan to anaa, at a moment's natire. like bank ituck at a biaker's bonrd. We claim the ines timaloe privilege-guarntied to the humblest indivialual born under the ensign of the free-to think fir otarwives; and while we would denisr at the infhingenent ofra hair's breadth upon our preroga.ive. we would leave the opinions of othera earaa lly e-spected.and equally undisturb ed. 01h1s uhall be a free paper, speaking to.I i cepcop!e. The trie republican must be libe ral, and nit only liberal, but just. He never can pjav the part of a tyrant, or act the pat of a ycophant. hiis path is that nobler way which. leads to tht tenple of liberty. Justice is his minister, and God alone his master. :xperience has taught us that man may change with the seasons, and principle become a by-word inthemouthofthe1ypocne. Among the twelve disciples of the great teacher there was one Jndas, "too proud to dig and ashamed to) beg," and there imay be the same proportior of traitors among the democracy of our common country. Cometit what n ill, however, we are resolved to nail ourcolors to the mast, and stand to our guns, if we itand alone, preferring a glo rious grave in a blazing wreck to a traitot's crown. Truth. like the tbrone of God, can ne ver be shaken, and to) tier we iash outiselves, as to a life-buay upon the wild billows of popular fe-lisng, and with ier we shall ride out the 10'Orn. We glory in being pertuitted to lift our voice upon tl,- arred soil of Virginia. To her, like tie I# andhermtg Siliote, we have turned our e% es a.. to a noble milier in days gone by; and ha-- moat be our heart if we enuld think to her di.honor, and sacrilegious our hand if we could daim the spleando of har ancient glory. Top our brethren of the ress we extend the olffel ' - o world we bear no malice. n -artanes nre er tin one hand, and the'iiidefagble and on mic Globe tin the other, we feareassly couch our ane-' in res-t, to tilt with our country's foes at the world's great totrtnament.
