^ staMp, nnd b >tako myself to an establish
? ment misnomed a house of accommodation
but the misnomer I must confess nppearcc
the less gloomy when I found that thf
principal room acted, or to speak mo?
properly served in the capacity o( bar-room
dining-room, ball room, and often at nigh',
as a room of repose to any drunken tipplei
whose body was unable to maintain a perpendicular?thus
accommodating itself to thi
wants and wishes of every individual?ex
cept those of its amiable proprietress
Mrs. Cutaiina Jewloy, whose greatest drsir<
bad been to keep it clean and showy in ap
pearance; in which liudab'e efforts its
smokotl ceiling and tattered engravings gavr
ocular demonstration that she had beeilnnsuccessful.
Ar und the fire a small group were assembled
discoursing of the crops, manti
ring of the land, feeding of ho s, and oth r
like substantiid subjects. In one "cwner"
sat an individual of apparently twenty
years of age. He was dressed in a grey s'i
suit of worsted home-spun and upon thf
back part of his head resto J a fur cap which
from its worn and bescorcheri appearance
might have seemed to one unversed in
chronology fo have b"en manufactured ??f
hair shorn from the tails of the Philis'ine
foxes* In front h g hair dp ss'-d by th ?
- ... ?,
barbative skiltot some village jur inm|ean
appeared to be shorn ofF wi h scrupulous
exactness on the lino formed by t'*e roos of
liis hair and the apex of his forehead, fl s
mouth had a goo I natureJ hu norous oxpression,
his hazel eye express <1 nothing
but a love of pleasure fun and frolic.?
Such was the individual whose appearance
arrested my attention as 1 entered.
Toe conversion, which at first res'ed
on mat'trs agricultur d, upon t'i? entrance
of the landlady's charming daughter Sally,
took a somewhat more interesting turn?or
at least the old subject was dropped.?
The individual whom I have attempted to
describe kept continually crossing h s right
kg over li s left and tlm "vice versa"
as if Ite was laboring under some men
tal uneasiness; now uttering a loud
and confused "ahaw" significant of the
mightv labor of his m nd in finding a
P ^
subject for conversat on. and then a
gently breathed "ahem m" sho ving that
It s mind was not free from all uneasiness.

from his seat a id bowing with all die grace

to go for Miss S illy's mother if it was to

and he ngain took his sent. "Yon have

"Well squire," continued he, "whir are

in conversation wiih him and found
that wo were travelling to the same pi tee.

the landlady, a bounc ng woman of about
forty.five, came puffing info the room, nod.
ded complacently to myso'f and beggfd
that Mr. Dixon would favor her with a pipe,

Mr. Dixon in compliance with her request
politely immersed his hand into his coat

a chunk of tobacco of no ordinary siz".?

CUMBERLAND ROAD- '
Mr. Smith, of Indian?, from the Com- '
mitten on Roads and Canals. t > which the
I subject t?a I been referred bv a resolution of t
I the S mi e, reported u bill making an np
propr a'ion, payable by iusfalmetits.of a sum ' .
( s<iill>*i nt to complete the Cumbcrl in I 1
| R ad in lite Sta es ofO.no, Indiana, llli- ,
' noi , a d M ssouri, and tran^fering the road
to those Sties under certain rostricilons.?
Tne elaborate report in wh ch i: is m iintiimd?
,
Toat the Cumberland Road was con (
reived and commenced in the wist; and |
sa'esm tnlike policy of the times, to aid an ,
exhausted Treasury, and a nation laboring |
under a heavy revolutionary d^bt, by open. |
i 'g a cotumutiicaiion 10 nnd through the ,
Western lands owned by the Government, |
and hereby facility? ng and enronrig-ng ;
the purchase and s -tlement ortt:e W. s?. j
That ill*: road is a great national work in t
progress of construction, and fur the com- <
p etion of winch the national faith is i
pledgi d ; 1
That the contract between the G-neral i
Government and tho West-m Stat"s, i
through which the road runs, was not for a
grant of two per rent, of the n< tt proceeds i
of tiie public 1.1mils towards making a road, t
but u resrrva'ion on the part of tli" Governmoot
of tua' per cent, to assist her in con- <
s rnetnii? tie work : !
Tlni ?1* mit? (i ?v- rnnvnt could be viewed |
as n trust- ?, sail it was of the whole furi i j
reserved ; u?'l she was bound foraj'.id cious (
and economical application of the fund to i
the construction ol the work ; and .she could <
not discharge herself by saying that the fund ,
was reduc d by grants, dona i<?ns, the pay |
incut of military bounties, reduction of prices,
and pre cmptions, by her own action ; i
nor could she escape from her responsibility '
by sa\ ing that she Imd laid out her work on J
a scale too exp'-nsive for the funds reserved
bv her t?> c mplete i: ; '
That a transfer to the States of the funds i
annually, with the fut re charge of the road, I
would insure a con 'unions and encrg- tic |
prosecu 'on of the work upon the most ?
?eonomical principles. ,
Each position, and o'hers, are ex mined |
at length in the repor'.
One t iousand extra copies of til" report (
was ordered to be prin'ed. t

i*jr. LiUin suornuieu a nu'iuutnu ?un u
had been IxTore the select committee on ?li? s
Territory of Oregon, compiled by Mr. t
, Green'iow. a clerk in tbe State Department* (
Mr. L. .-a^ ho woul I not b understood as <
submitting the paper on the authority of
the Dep ir nvnt ile had hoard of such u i
paper, and was favored wi h a copv ; and (
he must say that i was one of the most <
useful papers on the subject it treated that I
could be well conceived. It contained a I
condensed history of all the facts relating I
to that interesting portion of the country <
from its first discovery, and woul I give the i
committee great aid in its r? searches. Mr. i
L said hn could not very w? I! ask for the |
printing more than the usual number, as j
' e had been so of en gratified in that respect <
before ; but the document, he wou'd under. <
take to affirm, was worth all that hud been i
hitherto published. .
I Mr. Preston thought, if the document was j
one of research, nod elaborately drawn, |
embodying, as it was said to do, nil the
leading his oricul facts in chronological or- i
O ~
der, that an e\:ra number ought to be priti- i
ted. lie had occasion, some years ago, to (
resort to sources of knowledge connected
with the very Territory in question, and had
often felt the necessity of soine document
that could supply the desired information.
Mr. Pnson moved the printing of 2,000
copies ; which motion was ugreod to.
ASSUMPTION OF STATE DE8TS.
Mr. Grundy sai l he would not, at that
time, go into anv general discussion of the
merits of the report, il s sole object in
rising was to move that, when the ques'ion
was taken, it should be taken S'paru ely on
p the different branches of the resolutions;
and on that he would ask the ayes an J noes.
The resolutions are as follows ;
1. Reso'vel, The assumption, direr
or indirectly, bv the General Governme
of the debts which have been, or may
rontrac.eil b.' tin? St.ves lor local o je
or State purposes, woul'l be unjust both
the S'at' s and to tbe People.
2. Resolved, That sucb an assumpti
would be li'uhly itjexpdi' nf, nnd dang'
ous to 'ho Un on of the States.
3. Resolved, that such an assumpti
would be wbo'ly unauthorized by, arid
violation of. the Constitution of the Unit
St it- s, and utterly repugnant to all the o
jeets and purposes for which the Fodei
Union was formed.
4. Resolvd That to set apart the pu
lie lauds, or the revenues aising th'-retroi
for the before-mentioned purposes, v oi
be equally unjust, inexpedient and unco
sti'utionni.
Mr. Prentiss moved to strike out t
words 'directly or indirectly" as unnece
siry nnd ambiguous in their impor'.
Air. Grundy thought the whole groui
could not be covered unless t'-ose wor
were retained, and he should oppose t!
motion to strike ou?.
Mr. Crittenden said he bad prepared res
lutious which he hten 'ed ?o move as a su
s'itute for the resolutions of the repor
f, therefore, his honorable friend from Vf
t.ont (Mr. Preu'iss) would indulge him I
with Irawing his amendment, he won
move to strike out the resolutions of die r
x>rf. arid insert the following :
Resolved, That the debts of the sever
Bi\ fu r no flinv nrn 1/tTHVtt tn t!
Jl'H' O" I'll ?a i"* j * ?%> !?? "? '? >
3 nato, have Ix-on con ranted in the exor?*i
jfthc undoubted right and constitution
lower of said Sates respectively ; and th
here is no ground to warrant any doubt
he nbili'y or disposition of those States
ulfil their contracts.
Resolved, That it would be jii9* ai
iroper to distribute the proceeds of tl
ml'*8 ?f the public lands among the sever
3 a'es, in fair and ratable propur'ions ; at
:hat th? condition of such of tho States
l ive contracted debts is such, at the presc
moment of pressure and difficulty, as
render rucIi distribution especially expei
ant and important.
In thr Hop sr some deba'e has arisen i

braced in the report viz: the distribution

to lay the subject on the table. It had be
distinctly ad.erd'tsd that there was no ni

nt, therefore, any vote on that quest'on would
be, be nugatory. He expressed his gratifiescts
lion also at the admission that the s'ates
to were willing and able to pav their debts

had commenced hostile movements in concert
with Abd-el-K ibir, and the masses of
barbarians who threatened Marshal Valee
18 were so numerous that Ins ability to hold
1 ?ut against them was doubtful. All hat the
Marshal could do was to call in the colonists
.-j who had established themselves outside Algiers,
and all menus which could be adopted
had been used to put Algiers in a stale

Moras Multicaoiis.
The subscriber has for sale 1
a large number of very superior
Morus Multicaulis cuttings,
warranted genuine. Owing
to the culture, soil and distance
allowed in planting, the
proportion of large cuttings
is believed to be greater than
in any other lot offered for ^
sale in the country.
The folio wing facts willshe w
the great superiority of large
cuttings over small. A little
more than an acre of the field
in which the trees stand was
manured in the hill lastspring,
at the time of planting, with
rough stable manure. The
manure was covered but not
mixed with the soil, and the
cutting planted near it; the
smaller separate from the
larger. When the drought
of spring came on, the
manure absorbedjjthe moisture
from the earth around
the cuttings, and although
they sprouted, very few
came up?in some rows
not one. The stand was in
proportion to the size of. the #
cuttings. Of twenty-five about
and over an inch in diameter,
planted together, twentythree
grew and made fine
trees, now standing in their
places ; whilst within ajfew
feet ol them are rows entirely
vacant, though planted
at the same time, in the
same way, and with cuttings
from the same stock, only
smaller. The buds on a few
of the large cuttings were injured
in sawing; the two
which failed were, doubtless
of this number, ifere is conclusive
proof that large cuttings
(such as a great pro;
portion of those now offered
! for sale) will succeed to perjfection,
in a bad season, and
with treatment that destroys
1 most or al! of small and con^:jmon
size.
I The Price is two and a
half cents per foot or half a
cent per bud,
A credit till January 1841.
will be allowed on suras
over $100, and till January
1842 oil sums over $400;
; thus allowing ample time to
1 make the money with a handI
*
r some profit out of the cuttings.
Satisfactory security wfll
hp rnmiirrd hpfnrp the dlV
livery of the cuttings.
Any one may constituteliimi
self ati agent for the sale ofcntr
tings; and will be allowed 5 per
r cent on sales amounting in all
I , o ^
: to $*00; or ten per cent, on
sales amounting to $,1000.?
The commission to be paid
whenthemoney ispaid for the
cuttings; or if the agent prei
fers, he may take it in cutting;s
when payment is satisfactorily
secured. In this way .active
young men may procure
themselves a good supply of
Multicaulis, without any other
. cost than a little trouble.
J The cuttings may T)e re
moved and planted at any
time before the SOth Feb. or
later if the spring is late.
Printed directionafor plant)
ing and cultivating will be
j furnished without charge to
? purchasers who take to the
amount of $5.
