B Monday, Sept. 6th. Mr. Benton moved t to send to the President a copy of a re- ^ port received by the Senate from the Sec.

Mr. Benton tl thought that if the President knew how ^ much land was surveyed, he would in the n present state of the treasury offer it for sale. Such a resolution being offered a only as an insult to the President was, of j, course, laid on the table. t, The revenue bill was then taken up r and various amendments offered, all which, after debate, were lost. t Sept. 7th.

Thursday Sept. 3d. On leave given, Mr. McKay, offered the following resolutions; which were a. jopted: Resolved, That the Secretary of War ne, and he is hereby, directed to report to this House, at the commencement of the next session, the number of small-arms, of jvery kind, which belong to the United., States, and are in the several arsenals and iepots, including those in the use of the irmv ; stating the number lost or des... JJ l.. - . A. i rwyeu i?y u per annum ; me uumucr which the States may severally possess, nclirsive of those distributed to the mili. :ia > specifying the number that have >een issued to each Slate under, the laws >f Congress, and the number procured by :he States themselves. Reeolved, further, That the Secretary itso report the number of arms minufac:ured annually at each of the national irmories, and w' e her that number can >e increased ; to what extent and at what JXperse the number of private armories n the United States, designating the States n wh eh l>cated ; the number of irms manufactured , by them, annually, iccompanied with a comparative state, nent of the cost of the manufacture of ?ach kind of small-arms, at the national tnd private armo-ics, respectively. Resolved, further, That the Secretary eport the cost of transporting arms from ?ach of the national armories to the sev. ral arsenals and depots, particularly hos; in the Western States an 1 Territores, the number of militia in the United States. and any other information which nay be useful in enabling Congress to de. ;ide what further legislation may be ne. ternary to provide for arming the militia. On motion of Mr. Adams the House ook up and, without debate, adopted the bllowiog resolution heretofore offered by lim : Resolved, That the Secretary of the " * I I reasury oe nireciea 10, prepare nuu re ort to this House, at the commencement >f the next session of Congress, a statenent showing the amount of stocks issued nd authorized bv law to he issued, hy the .legislatures of the several States and Territories of the Union, including the )istrict of Columbia, and constituting xisting debts of the said Slates, Territorjs, aad District 'r specifying the amount f the stocks thus issued, the rates and erms of interest payable upon thern, the tipulated times of reimbursement of each jan, the dates of the legislative acts by vhich they were severely authorized, the bjectsof internal improvement or other, rise for which tne funds thus raised were o be and have been applied, and the preent condition with reference to the pros ect of completion of the public works to he accomplishment of which the issue of he said stocks was authorized. The committee were then called in their r lor for reports. Mr. Fillmore, from the Committee of Fays and Means, to whom resolutions of uitruction had heretofore been referred, sported a bill to repeal the sixth section le act entitled an act to provide for the upportofthe Military Academy of the fnited States for the year 1838, and for ther purposes, passed July, 1838, and to rohihit anv investment of the funds of te United States in stocks of the several J tates: which was read twice. [Sale by the Reporter.~-T\\e section roposed to he repealed is as follows: ** Sec. 6. And be% it further enacted, 'hat all the money arising from the be* nest of the late James Smithson, of Lon* Ion, for the purpose of founding at Wash* tgton, in this District, an institution to e denominated the Smithsonian Instit'i* on, which may be paid into the Treasury, rith the approbation of the President of ie United States, in stocks of fates, bearing interest at the ite of not less than five per centum per nnum, which said stocks shall be held by 6 said Secretary *in trjst for the uses pecified in the last will and testament of lid Smithson, until provision is made by iw for carrying the purpose of said be* uest into effect; and that the annual in* Brest accruing on the stock aforesaid said e in like manner invested for the benefit f said institution."] Soine time was consumed in debating resolution calling upon the President to nforrn the House if he had sent any one o N. York since the 4tli. of March in nlation to the McLood case, and if it had >een intimated to the British Government hat McLeod would he surrendered. Sept. 3i. After some unimportant iusiness the debate on the AfcLeod case ras continued. Sept. 4th. The resolution relating to he McLeod case was again taken up, and iter a speech from Mr. Flovd, the mover, ,nd a very able and interesting speech rom Mr. Adams, it was laid on the ta* tie, to sleep the sleep of death ; ayes 109, lavs 70. Sept. 5th. A ;esolution authorizing Ja mmmittee on the contingent expenses of he House, to defer their report till next ession, was adopted after some debate. The report adverse to the sitting dele;ate from Florida was some time under mnsideration, and the House adjourned, vithout a vote. Mr. Levy wishes further ime to procure testimony. The ground if objection is that he is not a citizen of he United States but, as is alleged a sub. ect of Denmark. Sept. 1th. The revenue hill was taken ip after some unimportant business.? Numerous amendments were proposed ind lost; among them one to tax bank >il!s moved by Mr. Benton. On this the rote stood 8 to 29. The first of' October was fixed as the day for the bill to go into operation, except in regard to articles from beyond Cape Horn to which the bill is not to apply till next August. The bill finally passed by a vote of 33 to 11. Sept. 8-A. Mr. Bayard from a select soramittee on the subject of the rules, made a rpport providing for the employment of five reporters, one at a salary of SfiO per week and the others 50 dollars each. Ordered to he printed. The bill from the House to repeal the 6th. section of the act for the support of the Military Academy at West Point,? that is, the bill to prevent the investment of the Smithsonian fundi in state stocks, was taken up, and amended so as to provide.for investment of -all funds of the U. States* in U. S. stocks bearing an interest of not less than 5 per cent, and in this form the bill passed. THR CXSR OF MCLEOD. From the National Intelligencer. On Saturday, Ex-President Adams delivered a Speech upon the resolution concerning the case of McLcod, introduced . i rv I some lime ago ny an upposmon memoer into tho House of Representatives, which captivated the attention of the House to a degree which might be expected from the position of that distinguished member, and his known familiarity with every thing that concerns the Foreign Relations of the United States, ''Distant from our Reporter's bench as 'be stood, with the members crowded all around him, obstructing the passage of the sound of his voice, we have no hope of being able to report his.Speech, unless with his assistance, and at a future day. Not doubting however, that our readers will desire to know what ground he occupied on this interesting question, we endeavor to give in our own language, (as follows,) an intelligible , idea of the general character of his remarks: Mr, Adams first spoke of the apparent party aspects and objects of the resolution before the House, and the debate in favor ' of it; and of the strong condemnation which that conduct merited which sought to m ike profit to a party, regardless of I consequences, out of a question which involved, or m:ght be inade to involve, the issue of peace or war with a country perhaps the most powerful on the Globe. He then proceeded to.say that he was opposed to multiplying issues with Great Britain. We had one ?*sue with that country (he was understood to refer to the Boundary Question) where we were clearly in the right, and she was clearly i.i the wrong; and, if we must fight, we had belter fight about such a question than alKjqt one where we wore in the wrong. For he desired to declare, in the face of - - 1 .1 ij L?_ the country una me wona nis opinmn, that, in regard to the Caroline," a due consideration of all the circumstartnes might lead to the conclusion that* we were in the wrong.Tne question was, and aU ways would he, who struck the first blow? The British, it is true, burnt the Inmtaiid filled a man. But the question is, what was the boat about, and what was the man doing in the boat? The boat was engaged in hostile acts against Great I Britain; it was employed in transporting men and arms to Navy Island, in aid of an insurrection against the British au> thorities in Upper Canada. We might go'to war on this matter; and. after the blood and treasure of the nation had been expended in support of it, we should have a peace. And what then? The question would still bev who struck the first blow? And were we sure wo could find among all the Christian Nations an empire who would not say that we had been all the while in the wrong ? Mr. A larmthen Jpokeof another issue ? i i i -ji ...j i. i i. wnicn naa oeen aueinpiea in ue mnuo, viz. in relation to the particular case of McLchkI* W p k# of i he Opinion deliw ered by Judge Cowen, of the New York Court, in this case, and declared his dissent from that opinion in strong terms; and he alluded to the sentiments expressed by some of his forty friends from New York on that floor, to the'^ame purport, and efTict as that opinion, with emphatic disapprobation. New York had been called the " Empire" State ; but, he said, Delaware is as much an "Empire" State as New York ; and he regarded it as both wrong and dangerous, when persons were heard to declare on that floor, and in the other end of the Capitol, that New York would try McLcod, and, if found guilty, would hang him; and alt because New York was the "Empire" State! Nohody had pro|>o9cd to interfere with New York, or the Courts of New York ; hut, by some process, McLeod ought to be released, and the President had done no more than his duty in sending the Attorney General into New York on this subject. There was not an enlightened nation on earth that would not decide against this idea of i holding individuals responsible in a case like tins. And the management of the whole case belonged to this Government; for it was a national matter, and. if a war grew out of it, it was not New York that was to maintain that war. but the blood and treasure of the whole Nation must maintain it. Mr. Adams, before he was cut off by the expiration of the hour paid a noble tri. bute to ;lfr. Webster. He ailuded to a j remark which had been made hy some j mnmkar frnm Votv Hnmn.'kipn tU<1, ti tun I (IIi;il|UOI II vm 41 V? iiirii TW Xi should have no war with Groat Britain while Daniel Webster was Secretary of State" He said he thanked God heartily tor it, and the People of this country ought to raise their hands in devout and united thanksgiving to God for it! He believed the remark to be true. Peace would be !preserved while that man was Secretary of State: Not by concessions!?he was the last man on earth to make concessions to Great Britain?he had made none?hut by moderation and a conciliatory temper, accompanied with a just decision and firmness. itfyXalluded to Mr. Webster's letter to Mr. Fox, and pronounced it one of the best diplomatic papers that had ever been written, and said he could adopt every line and word of it. Its value was already manifest ia the effect it had evidently produced ; find he referred, w in this connexion, to the conciliator)' tone V( assumed towards this country by Sir Robert Peel, in his address at Tamworth. He repeated his conviction that, while the a rights and the honor of the country, would n be firmly and fully maintained, yet peace S( irouJd be preserved so long as Daniel jc Webster was Secretary of State. . We do not pretend to give even n sketch of all the remarks made by Mr. Adams ; and. in regard to thetopies to which we a, have referred, as embraced in his speech, v we have given only the faintest outline of what was said bv him. u hi CHERAW GAZETTE. 0i WEDNESDAY, September 15, 1841 ^ -? c; Hon. Edward Everett.?The oppo- 0I sition to the nomination of this gentle- 0 man as Minister to Great Britain has p been the subject of comment in many if | not most of the public papers, North and n South. We copy below the evidence for w and n era ins t the charge of abolitionism. _ n " "" "? " I ai Cn a debate in the House of Represents- ( tives in March 1826 on an amendment proposed to the constitution, the subject P of slavery having been introduced into w the discussion, Mr. Everett made a speech b which elicited no small commendation u from southern politicians. After shewing that the word translated "servants" in our English version of the new testament, means slaves in the original, and 0 that, of course, the various exhortations to this class of persons in different parts ! ? of the New Testament, to obey their b masters recognize and tolerate the institu- t( tion of slavery under the Gospel system, f< he made, in the course of his speech, the tl fol lowing remarks : tl MThe great relation of servitude in tl some form or other, with greater or less b departure from the theoretic equality of man, is inseparable from our nature. / know of no way by which the form of this servitude can be fixed, but by poltical in- ! d stitution. Domestic Slavery, though gj 1 confess not that form of servitude which r seems to be most beneficial to the master 8 ?certainly not that which is most beneficial to the servant?it is not, in my 8 judgement, to be set down as an immoral n and irreligious relation. I cannot admit p that religion has but one voice to the slave, and that this voice is, 'rise against your master.' No, sir, the New Testament says, Slaves, obey your Masters;' and p though I know full well, that in the benignant operation of Christianity which 8 gathered master and slave around the same communion table, this unfortunate institution disappeared in Europe, yet I '1 cannot admit, that, while it subsists, its ( duties are not pre-supposed and sanctioned n by religion." '* " J # Mr. Everett also in different articles Iin the North American Review, very! ably defended this country against the I aspersions of foreign travellers, and for-1 eign writers on the subject of slavery.? I These articles gave satisfaction to slave- l holders. This is the substance of the evidence against the charge. On the other hand, L CI when Mr. Everett was a candidate for " v re election as Governor of Massachusetts, in 1839, the abolitionists proposed to him f and other candidates for office, the fol. c lowing questions: i 1st "Are you in favor of the immediate s abolition, by law, of slavery in the Dis- ^ trict of Columbia, and of the slnve traf. c fic between the States of this Union ?" g 2d. "Are you opposed to the admission ( into the Union of any new States, the constitution and government of which : 8 tolerate domestic slavery ?" d To these questions Mr. Everett return j P ed the following answer : Watertow*, Oct. 24th, 1839. w "Dear Sir?On Saturday last I dulv n received your letter of the 18th, propoun- n ding to me certain interogatories, and ear. fi nestly requesting an early answer. You are aware that several resolves, on the subject of those inquiries and other g kindred topics, accompanied by a very | kl? D annrt n/aa inlrnHtlCMl into the Sen. I amc ^ ate of this commonwealth, the year be. 0 fore last, by a joint Committee of the two w houses, of which the late lamented Mr. Alvord was chairman. Those resolves after being somewhat enlarged by amend* meat were adopted I y the legislature. b They appear to me to cover the whole g, ground* of your two interogatories. Hav. ing cheerfully co-operated in the passage ^ of these resolves, and concurring in the n general reasoning by which they were sus- 4 tained, in the powerful Report of the Chairman of the Committee, I respond g) to both of your inquiries in the affirmative. , 8 The first of the three subjects embra. n ced in your inquiry, is the only one of It them which came before Congress, while 1 was a member. I voted in the negative ^ on a motion lav upon the table the peti. <: .r?u inti Oi...... a ' r. il. . V lion 01 mu nim uiofuif guciciiBS inr ine abolition of slavery in the district of Columbia! and on the motions of like character, intended to cast off the considera- c< tion of this class of petitions. EDWARD EVERETT. B Hon. Nathaniel B. Borden." t| These answers did not satisfy the abo- ^ litionists, inasmuch as they contained no j recantation of the former opinions of Mr. Everett on the subject of slavery, and the abolition vote was divided: a raajority of it was supposed to have been cast for Mr. Morton, the opposing cnndidate, . / r di6 was elected by a majority of one oto. This answer of Mr. Everett to the bolitionists is the ground on which his omination is now opposed, and to U9 it jems to be sufficient. His friends al. ;ge that he is objected to on the ground lat he is in principle opposed to slavery, opposition on this ground by the South gainst candidates for office, would be a irtual declaration of war against the nion of the states; for all the non-slaveolding states are opposed to slavery \ therwise they would introduce it among lemselres. Hut Mr. Everett's opposition .tanil. farthar than this, and if rarrioH IIAI ? *'? *M v?i ut would certainly lead to a dissolution f the Union. If the letter did not exress the deliberate judgement of the wri. ;r, but was a time-serving, uncandid, lere elcctineering note, he has his re* -ard, and such aa all honest man roust dmit he deserves. The Fiscal cobpoiatiop bill.?The resident returned this bill to the House, here it originated, on Thursday, with is objections. We have not time to set p the message for the present paper, ie leading objection of the President > the bill is that it provides for the estab. shment of a bonk to operate, per se, ver the union, and therefore, in his opin. >n, is forbidden by the constitution. He bjects to the bill also because drawing ills of exchange may be so managed as > be equivalent to the most objectionable irm of discount paper; and because liere is no limit fixed to the premium in fie purchase of bills of exchange, and here is therefore no security that the ank would improve exchanges. At the close of the message, the Presi. lent implores his friends not to push the ifference between him and them on this ingle point, to extremes. He wishes nore time for reflection on the subject, nd hopes that at the next session of Conress he may be able to recommend some leasure of finance that will meet the ap. robation of Congress.

A FIGHt lit CONOBSSS* On Thursday, soon after the veto message had been received, and while the House had up the revenue bill* a rencontre took place between'Messrs. Wise and Stanly, of which the Globe gives the fol* lowing account t Messrs. Wise and Sthnly were observ. ed in earnest and etcited conversation together at Mr. Stanly's desk. Affer a few minutes Mr. Wise made a motion as if to invite Mr. Stanly out, to which Mr. Stnnly made a gesture of dissent. Mr. Wise then returned to Mr. S and appai* a ently as in answer to something said by Mr. S., he was observed to slap Mr. Stanly in the face pretty severely with his open hand. A scuffle then ensued, a number of members rushing to the sceon of contest. The Speaker took the chair and called repeatedly to order. Mr. Dixon H Lewis was the first who was observed to separate the combatants, holding one at each armV length. After a good deal of uproar and confusion, Mr. Wire having returned to his seat, rose and expressed the hope that the Hoqss would come to order, and enable him to make to it an apology. He rose, he sai I, perfectly cool and collected, to make a.i explanation? The uproar continuing, Mr. Keim was heard tossy that ha objected to thesrentlemah croine on until or. ? 9 " q ?r der was restored, and the inembeni took their seats. Order being restored, Mr. Wise proceeded td say that he wished, in the inoar'tiinfrhfe manner, to ask.pardon, as he sincerely did, of the House, for having in its presence, violated its order, and that decorum end respect which should be preserved toward* it an* der an excitement which be could not and would not repress. The ffotise had wit* nessed what Had passed between the gentleman from North Carolina and himself, and had heard the language used by that gentleman, in debate, towards him, (Mr. Wise.) He should not recapitulate it, hut confine himself to what had passed afterwards at the seat of the gentleman in private, and not in Ihe hearing of the House, and with that alone, he presumed, y it will have any thing to dn. He had visited the seat of the gentleman [Mr. Sianlvjafter lie had conclude-1 his remarks, for the purpose of remonstrating with him in a friendly and private way for his language in debate, and without intending to manifest any excitement. But be may have been, and perhaps both of them were, excited. His object was to preserve their friendly relations; but the gentleman [Mr. Stanly] chose to waive'those rela(ions, and to claim no protection under them. He would not undertake to inform the House circmustantially of what took place. The gentleman seemed disposed to adhere to what he Imd replied to my explanation on the door. 1 attempted to give him a warning, and asked bim to go with me out of the hall* Here Mr. Andrews called Mr. W. to order, and objected to his makings state* ment. Mr. Wise. I make my general statement in presence of the gentleman, [Mr# Stanly] and no injustice can Re done hint. He refused to go out of the House with me, and I applied to him very harsh and ? offensi ve terms. The ge ntleman retorted a word which I never can, and never will brook, here in this House, or elsewhere. 1 struck him, and the assault ensued, for -1- * !- - -L- .1 _J .L. wiiicii i n^ain a?K inc puruun in nra House, and submit myself to tbo penalty it may choose to inflict. Mr. Stanly. I. too, ask leave to make an explanation. 1 have no pardon to ask of the House, for if I had been guilty, I would resign or submit to the judgement of the House. The gentleman from Vir. ginia came round to my seat not to re? monstrate, as he says, but to scold me as he has done every body who'takes the liber, ty to differ with a highminded Virginian. In the course of the conversation which took place between us, he said to me, " I warn you." To which I replied -*I want none of your warning." He then invited me to come with him to the door, f refused. He then said 44 you deserve my ? . . . ? a* a contempt."
