Mr. Ewitiff, from the commit toe on
.Military Affairs, reported back the
Senate bill providing for the classifi-1
cation and the equalization of sala- ;
ries of the clerks in the War Depart-!

Ties from $55,800 to $05,<100. He !
advocated its passageMr.
Carter moved that the bill he
relcrred to the committee of the
Whole on the State of the Union.
Mr. Jones said that if all the clerks
in the War Department should be
turned out to-day before sun-down
to-morrow there would be ten applications
for every vacancy. There
were in that city at least five hundred
nitui who thought themselves
competent for the stations. Speaking
as to the expenses of living here,
lif! said that momlmi-o

were charged double of what others
are for clothing boarding, and everything
else. [This occasioned laughter.]
Mr. Burt in the course of his remarks,
said: "So help me God, I
would not go to a boarding house that
would undertake to board me for less
than ten dollars a week. 1 should
fear either that the keeper would
break, or that 1 should half starve.
He had paid seven dollars a week for
the boarding and lodging of his servant;
and he spoke of the high prices
of living as an argument why the
salaries 01 tnc clerks ought to be increased.
The bill was referred lo the committee
of Whole on the state of the
Union. ,
The House went into committee
on the bill making appropriations for

the.e was 2.n effort one to
show that the bill was an in famous

the reverse:
Mr. Stanly had denied that the
measures was sectional, and said it
was the cap shea! to the compromise
of the last session.
Mr. Inge replied to Mr. Stanley,
saying, in effect, that that gentleman
was not a friend to jhu South, and
that the assault would be made and
spoliation consummated before the 1
warranting would come from him.
Mr, Stanly replied, that the remark (
justified him in saymg that the ffen- 1

Washington, Feb. 10th.
Yesterday1, the Senate bhamber
was asi ain the scene of great interest.
It was completely thronged by visitors?mostly
strangers from the' Northern
towns. Mr. tJlay brought up his
.11' ? ?
ru.vuiimon caiuug on ine President
lor information in regard to* the obstructions
to the execution of the fugitive
act, and the recent occurrences
in Boston. Mr. Clay, in his speech,
expressed the deepest indignation at
the resistance oflered to the law iti
Huston, and resistance from whom?
ho asked. From the African race;
from those whom he did not acknowledge
a:; citizens. It was necessary
i] i \ t .t*>
inai congress snoniu nave the facts
in ordor that they might bo alter the
law as to render it, it possible, more
elTeclive. The occasion called, he
thought, fo)r the vigorous exertion of.
every power of the Executive and of
Congress. Mr. Davis, of Massachusetts
said that the law was extremely
offensive 10 the great mabs of the
people, but that it would be maintained
until it should be repealed.?
A large majority of the people would
obey the law, but would not cease >
freely to ^omment upon it. Mr. Da-1
vis, of Mississippi, said that if tlie
fact admitted by the Senator from
! Massachusetts, was true?that the
i law offensive to the Northern peo
' pie?then the law was oeau. Jj<-t
Massachusetts abrogate it at once,
and pronounce it a nullity. Let her
go out of the Union, unless she
chooses to conform to the laws. The
laws would only derive their authori
ty from assent?the government had
none but moral strength. He did
not wish to seethe military power of
int; country exenea 10 crush a Slate,
for its disobedience of the laws.
Mr. F oote related a conversation
with the President on this subject.?
The President had declared that he
would use the most prompt and vigorous
measures to sustain the law.
The Cabinet have had a consultation
on the subject, and orders have been
given for'the employment of military
force, m aid of the civil authority, if
. necessary. It appears that when a
' riot was apprehended in Philadelphia
upon the occasion of the arrest of a
fugitive a short time ago, the President
gave orders for holding in readiness
a large military force.
If the reply of the President to Mr.
Clay's call, should come in to-duy,

These lesulutioiia are. iho deliberations

and manly, and from them South
Carolina may take encouragement,
and thosj who doubt, n??ed Ilt) longer
wait, for fear that no other State
will join her in resisting the oppression
of th? General Government.
They approve the Southern Congress,
and recommend its meet ing,?
that if any other Southern State secedes,
that it will be the duty and interest
of Alabama nlso to snrnrtn.
We notico that it has been proposed
to hold a si mil til Convention of
the several Associations of this State,
to meet the first Monday in May
next- We have no doubt but such
a meeting would be productive of
much good, provided a full representation
can be procured from the different

a change in sentiment of the peoplfe
