"But with mome-, perhaps with many, it
is- sswrifice of their own principles and
feelings, to what they consider the public
sentiment. This appears to have been
precisely the case with Gen. Hamilton ;
and presents us with a spectacle, too af
fecting to be wiutely surveyed. That he
was wrong, he has not left for me to de
clare "
'-Lei no one suppose that this pointed
disapprobation and severe censure of du
elling, expressed wit'l his dying breath,
were thte effects of weakness, or religious
mel;aucholy, occasioned by thie ebbing of

pear; to have been in the rigorous exercise
of his inteilectual powers. The truth to
be regarded here is this--we are frequent
ly fascinated and thrown into-a delirium
in a moral sense by the glare of life, but
awakened to right views, sentiments and
feelings, in the near prospect of eternal
realirs. Oh, that he had lived to exe
cute his benevolent purposes of exposing
the evil of this pernicious usage ; or that
I possessed on this occasion his irresisti
ble eloquence, to plead against it in the
cause oh justice, humanity ard religion."

It is un~detstood here that the m~ain

ien whether any Senator ausihonized
hie charge. it has been alle-dged that
senaasr Allen was one of the founders

ippears, Isurther, that theSentators have
este advised that persons here are pre- I
>ared to prove that the editors, ot one
it ilama, has stated, repeatedly, that
Ite facts chaiged, were received froam a <

probable, that Senator Allen will be

will be a matter of interest, for sam
Lime, inasmuch as ithe Senate haive giv

Mr. Jarnagin brought '.o the notice of
she Senate, csrtain charges made against
a majsanty of that body, by the Wash
ington Times, on the 5th, 9th attd 10th
instant. They were direct, specific and
pos 'charges of corruption against a
)ar ortion of the Senate. He had
not ' rd to say about the editor, or
in e of the Senate. If any iem
ber his body w-is concerned in this
intri it ought to be made known to
the try, and if not, the libellor
ongl be punished. He submitted a
t resol n that a select committee be
appoi d to investigate the charges.
Mr. ngum differed from his fr lends,
as tof propriety of this movement.
He w thorizedby every Whir Sen.
ater the Senate, fo say ila tl-re
was n undation for the charge. His
own 0 'on was, that it the reputation
of the' nate was not above all these!
att-ckV was tim.e for them to disband.
If any dividual Senator here, was so
weak o be affected by a charge of
this ki he ought to leave his posi
tion.
He d not believe that any member
of eithe party was obnoxious to the
charge.

We are certain of one thing, more
over, that Mr. Buchanan has informed
the Piesident th .t he will retire from
the office of Secretary of State, should
lie be required to renew a negotiation
upon the basis of 49. But I will take
it for granted that the fresident will
agree to a trea y upon the 49th, and
that the Senate-as will undoubtedly be
the case-will give it their constitution
al sanction. But how does it appear
that the British government will be so
ready to ofi'er the 49th Mr. R. John
son and many other gentleman, in both
Houses, have assumed this as a fact no'
to be doubted. Some fete others bo ve
expressed doubts. Mr. Dayton thi

of infurmation that any one has out of

that the British governwnt would make

ANOTHER DISCOVERY.
New process of 7 anning.-A new dis.
very in the art of tanning has been
iade by Dr. Turrnull, of London,
'hich is said in a French paper, to e
ipse every thing that has been discover
1 in the.practical arts for these hundred
ears. The process, it seems, has been
iried. on in London on a large scale.
Id has recently been introduced into
aris. and been . performed there in tiie
resence of the best tanners. A cmn:mu
ication on the subject has been ttresent

or lesser density, keeps lip this recip.

-ocess of tanning it requires eightee~,
onths to tan an ox hide, anI 400 pounds
