Mr. Sevier rose, but yielded to
il/r. Rives, who rosea1 the same moment,
and said that if there had been anv hiding
it mu8t have been very feebly uttered, for it
had not struck his ear.
[Mr. Benton. I heard it distinctly.]
Mr, Rives hoped that no American citizen
could deliberately intend to insult the'Chief
.Magistrate of the Republic: and even if this
had, though le.-slv and in a moment of excitement,
been done, he was very sure the Presi- |
d"nt would be the last individual 10 resent it; i
lie was known to be in favor of allowing to ev 1
ery citizen tin* amplest liberty of opinion and
of speech: and as the expressions <>? dNappro- j
bat ion had not heen of a marked character, j
and as there seemed to be some do.bis, even, !
whether any hisses had been u'tered at all, :
he hoped his frond from Missouri would ci/iiseut
to pass the matter by.
Mr. B-nton sa:d there was no sort of doubt
about it: be had heard it with his own ears; I
ami so had other Senators round him. No i
matter what the President ni ght be disposal
to do, he wou d not waive the right of the j
Senate to protect itself from contempts. Mr. :
B would bring it :o a question of fact. No !
nun should be permitted md mbt whether h",
Mr. B, had heard lie hissing, fie had com" |

Milted by bank ruffians and bank bullies, be i
would rise in Ins place and have tiieni seized !
and brought to the bar.

The discussion was further continued by :

Mr Merrick, after referring to the solemnity i
oifthe occasion, and the promtitudo wit which
the disorder had been suppressed, expressed

^WEDNESDAY, August 25,1841.
We have received from the Hon. F.
W. Pickens a copy of his speech on the
, Land Bill, and from the Hon. John Camp!
bell a copy of his speech on the Revenue
i Bill.
After the last part of Col. Campbell's speech
I had baen printed on the fourth page, our
j attention was called to the fact that mom
could not be made for the entire speech th:s
we*k. In ordttr therefore to do as little
injustice to the speech as possible in dividing
I i;, we shall next week insert all after the
' point where it is now stopped, including the
i part on the fourth page of the present nutn!
ber.
The President has signed the bill re.
1 pealing the sub-treasury act. The public
j money is now in the hands of the Execu
live without legislative restriction of any
; kind. Ho may direct it to be kept in pet
hanks, strong boxes, or any where else,
at discretion.
The reader upon turning to the proceedings
of the Senate, after the reading
of the President's veto message, will be
amused, and, if lie has a proper regard for
the character of his country, he will be also
mortified at the ruffianism of Col. Benton
in his attack upon a supposed "bank
radian" in the person of a drunken friend
of his own. Col. Benton is, we believe*
the only member of the Senate whose
character and conduct are a reproach to
that august hodv.
Tiie Louisiana Insurrection has ended
in smoke. The negroes which had
heen arrested were all tried, and acquitted,
nothing have heen proved against any of
them. The white man who had been
arrested under charge of being cognizant
ofa projected insurrection, has also been
discharged.
Kioiit.?The man who negotiated
between the directors of the Frederick
Bank and the rogues who had robbod the
bank has b? en indicted by a New York
grand jury, and he'd to hail in the sum of
$30 000. His nam-.' is Wiley.
One of iho seamen of the ship William
Brown, named Alexander W. Holmes,
has been arrested and committed to pris
on, on a charge of murder, for assisting
to throw overboard persons who had escaped
from t?>at vessel on tho long boat.
One A. C. Farrington, the late presi.
dent of a bank in Ohio, having been
indicted for fraudulent transactions in the
management of the bank, has been convicted
and sentenced to the Penitentiary
for a term of 15 years.
A man lately killed himself in Wilmin
^fon X. C. by 'a'cing an over dose of
lobe in. So says the "Chronicle" of that
t- wn.
The American Consul at Matanzas has
been imprisoned by orderof the Governor
(?ent?rai of ( uba. Cause not stated.?
So says a Capt. Merriman from that Port
to the editor of the Philadelphia U. S.
Gazette.
Since the above was put in type we see
it slated that the Consul was arrested on
a charge of conniving at the illegal seizingof
property owned by a woman of ill
fame who died at Matanzas. The Con
sul was> sent for to write her will, hut finding
her in a dying state, he returned
home, knowing nothing, as he says, about
her property. Money and other property
owned by her to a considerable amount,
was taken into possession and secreted or
dissipated by her associates, and the Consul
is now confined in jail, under charge
of conniving at their doing so. The property
belonged legally to the government
at the death of the woman ; who was a
native of the U. States, and died intestate
leaving no legal heirs in the Spanish
dominions.
I
j CONGRESS.
The Senate was still occupied almost
exclusively on the Land Bill down to
Wednesday last. It is uncertain what
the result will be, or has been.
The veto message, which was received
on Monday week, was, on that day, postponed
till Tuesday. On Tuesday it was
again, on motion of Mr. Mangum of N.
C., postponed till Wednesday. On Wednesday,
it was still, on motion of Mr.
Berrien of Ga., postponed till Thursday,
i by a strict'y party vote. On Thursday
i it was probably taken up for consideration.

| by a vote of 110 to 106. The bill
! had been previously laid on the table,
' there to sleep during the session hv a vote
I of 110 to 97; but this vote was again reI
considered. An amendmeut was made to
w'^ '" -#^5^' ^ ^': J
the bill by the House, and it was, there,
fore, sent back to the Senate, which body
concured in the amendment. The bill
has since been approved by the President
and is a law.
The bill to renew the charters of the
district banks, which had passed the Senate,
was taken up in the House on Wed
nesday, after the passage of the bankrupt
bill, and passed, with an amendment
which, there was no doubt, the Senate
would concur in. \
I
In addition to the Bank bill, the land
bill and revenue bill were still before the
Senate. When they shall be disposed of
i and Congress be ready to adjourn is still
uncertain.
Since the above was in type wo have
received the following brief report in the I
Globe of the proceedings on the bank bill 1
| on 1 hursday.
The hoar of twelve having arrived, tho Chair
i announced the ppeci.il order <>f the day?llic hill
lo incorporate tho subtcribcis to the Fiscal Bunk
of the United States, with the message of the
President refusing his assent thereto.
Tho debate on the Bank hill, ccompanie'l with
the President's veto, was protracted to si late an
hour that we have riot timo, before our paper
goes to press, to touch upon the topics discussed.
It was conducted w ith unusual ability by Mr.
C ay on one side, and Mr. Kives on the other.
Mr. Clay in his opening speech, was, for liitn,
singularly teinperato in tone, a id profuse in
friendly protestations towards the President ,* hut
before he concluded the day. he gave tho reins lo
his vehement passions, and strip!, off the disguisv
with which he had labored to cover his feelings.
Although, in the first, effort ho preserved some
moderation of m nner. and ex Tension, his whol#
aim was manifest y to cover ti e President with
odium nd destroy him with the Federal party.
He ljegan by reading'his inaugural address,
and declared that, although at first he and uth?
era entertained distrust as to the President's
coursv, that paper had dispelled a'i apprehensions
about tho fate of a Bank charier at his hands.
He said that this address had satisfied tlia Whole
whig parly and press t roughout the country?
that he was prepared to assent to the establishment
of a National Bank. He referred next to
the implied pledge in accepting the nomination
from the Harrtsbnrg Convention as Vice President,
which he said every body knew ho could
not have obtained?no, not even the vote of a
single member of that Convention, nor a single
Whig electoral vote, if it had been suspected
that he would not have yielded to the parly wish I
in tavor of a Bank. i
(Mr. Clay continued his Remarks at great
length and was rep'ied toby Mr. Rives, after
which the vete was taken on the bill, and <
stood 25 for and 24 against it.] <
Disorders at Washington*. '
On the night after the President's veto message
was sent to the Senate two parties t
of roicdies turned out, one composed of |
Democrats, and the other of Whigs. The ,
former after various hideous noisesconfirmato- j
ry of the old proverb u A hen wine is in wit ^
is out," proceeded to bury the bank bill. The
other party cnti red tho enc'ouures of the
President's mansion, to disturb and insult
himself and hia f.-itnilv fur his refusing tn tu<-s
the s ime b;]l. I '
Mr. Woodbury two days afterward*, ?r:
the Senate, submitted a resolution direct?iij^}
the Committee on rhe District ol Coium p 'o | *
enqu re into the character and extent of the i
disturbances in the g?llery on the passage c f
the bank bill, and ??n the reading rtf the veto
message ; and also iito the distuiban? near
the President's house above refered to. The ?
resol jiion directs the committee to report the r
; names of the offenders so far as they can he
ascer ained, and to inquire what punishment
they are liable to, and what further legislation
i may be necessary to protect the officers of
government from molestation in the discharge ^
of their public duties. It is to be hoped as g
Congress have taken up the subject they will r
act efficiently in it. r
A petition has also been presented to the r
Mayor of Washington, signed by more than f
one hundred persons asking him to call a t
public meeting of the citizens, to exprecs their
reprobation of the effort "by a few worthless g
individuals" to treat with insult and indecorum t
the President; and the Mayor has according- r
ly issued his proclamation calling such meet- a
tng. This is really more disreputable tt the s
city than the vulgar attempt at insult itselfj t
In every community there are worthless and f
senseless individuals capable of mean and 1
vulgar acts. To assemble respectable men d
to reprobate their conduct is treating them c
with too much attention, and really implies 8
that they are looked upon as entitled to ?ery *
serious consideration^ Public meetings on a
such occasions are an interference with the c
province of the police, ard are prompted only 1
by that spirit of ultra democracy in our country
which tends to reduce our beautiful the. ^
ory of constitutional and representative gov. ^
ernment to a government of mobs. It would ^
be much more useful for the citizenr of Wash"
ingtsn to be engaged in bringing the culprits
before the police magistrates and into the
hands of their jailors, than in making indigna. *
tion speeches and passing indignation resulu- .
tions at popular meetings. Are the magis- ^
trates and people of Washington so remiss in
their public duties as to require the stimulus
o{ a democratic meeting to urge them forward
on such an occasion ?

The advantages which have resulted
from concert of action in tlie promotion
of civil and religious institutions, are too
familiar tc you to require o single comment.
None are more indebted to this
principle for their present high state of
improvement and refinement, while none
have followed along tnore uniformly pari
passu, with the general improvement of
this age of discoveries, than our own pe.
culiar profession.
B v a concert of action, a free and mutual
interchange of.opinionon the prcvalent
diseases we have to, combat a more
perfect topographical knowledge of our
respective districts?a more thorough acquaintance
with our individual practice in
the treatment (if disease, and the prospect
of adding something to the general stock
of medical literature, are among the ohnous
advantages suggested by a movement
of the kind.
The profession of medicine, has ever
maintained a high and dignified station
in the ranks of learned professions, and
none have contributed more to the general
good of mankind, save the divinely
ippointed. To maintain that dignity
ihould he tha laudable aspiration of every
member of her corps. It is easily se? n
now an association of physicians in a well
organized society, will be contributive to
this end. Besides, they can without risk
of reputation, (which any one phvsicias
night incur in the attempt.) spurn from
their members, the drivelling intruder
who for base and mercenary motives
would undersell the services, and otherwise
compromise the dignity of the profession.
Let me propose to you then, that ever\
ohysician of the above districts sanction,

Tiie Rights of Woxax.
As the whole community is agitated
vith measures adopted to assert the rights
ind advance the interests of labouring
nen, it would !>e well to consider for a J
noment tiie claims of industrious wo- j
nen. There is a strange and cruel mock-!

efinement by unmeaning compliments,;
ind exhibit their gallantry in a thousand
uperfluous attentions. Here their jusice
ends. They call themselves the deendersof
woman?do they protect her?!
They praise her virtue?does their con- j
luct manifest a real respect? They '
:ompassionate her weakness?do they
ustain her poverty, cheer her loveliness
vith the voice of encouragement; or do
night in any shape tcPsupply her wants,
?r alleviate her afflictions? The world
s a Fcene of violence, where each man
crambles f?r his share of the plunder?
nit weak woman is constrained by her
hysical inferiority to stand apart and
;aze hopelessly on the struggle, with lit.
le to sustain her or her little ones but the
? i i /? 11 i
tray fragments whicn may tan in ner
/ay. She is stiM, as in olden time, a
[leaner in the harvest of life; and
hrough her responsibilities are equal to
hose of man, she is expected to supply
ier wants and perform all her duties upon
he miserable pittance which the reaper
eaves behind him as unworthy to be
fathered. Such is the justice, such the
;indness of man to woman.
The s urdy labourer complains that

TERRIFIC STOBY?HYDROPHOBIA. I
About a month ago a dog belonging to j '
Mr. Fenwick, George sreet, Perth, gave !
; pretty strong symptoms or being in 1
! a rabid state, by biting three or four of its 1
own speeies, without anything like provocation,
and immediately thereafter fasteniugon
a horse belonging to James Rollo, J
a licensed carter in Bridgend. The ag. 3
gressor, as well as those he ha J attackted with
the exception of the more noble ani. U
mal, were drowned #or otherwise killed
with all convenient speed, to save proba- 3
ble consequences. The horse (a finestal- (;
lion) was bit on the upper lip ; but the C
wound, which seemed trivial, soon healed.
and was quickly forgotten. On the even- p
ing of sabbath last, his owner, on going p
into the stable, found him in rather a <;
feverish state, frothing at the mouth, and perspirin^copiously.
This circumstance ^
however, did not a tthe time bring to rnind
any recollection of the injury done by the ir
Hog, as natural causes might acount for L
these manifestations of excitement. On k
Monday morning Rollo rose about four
o'clock, to cart a ouaotity of clothes to ^
the North Inch for bleaching. On enter- M
ing the stable he was immediately struck '
