Mr. Weller inquired whether there hnd not been a report accompanying Mr. E\ving'c bill, and the President's might .not have been derived from that report with. . out having rend the b:ll ? and might he not from that have been prepared to speak ! about the hill as he had done on Fndav ! evening to delegation?

New Plough.?In the American Farmer of the 23th June and 13:h July, we find an account of a new plough which is considered an improvement upon ail former instruments for the cultivation of corn. Dr. Joseph E. Muse, of Maryland, at whose suggestion the plough w..s made by Messrs. Sinclair and Co. of Baltimore, in a letter to the manufacturers, says of it that it is 44 a double fur. rowing machine, and yet is not a plough, strictly ?nor is it a 'Cultivator, nor a 'harrow.' I have been using it," ho adds, "to r place the ea.tli which had been barred oil from the cornits operation is precisely whit it should be for the purpose, and cannot be pt.farmed by any instrument I h ive.evcr seen, w.tn so much neatness, expedi. Con, and effect: many of my most observant and j judicious neighbors, in iced ail who have seen it, operate, sustain ray opinion." In the American] ii . ? ?_ ii'IiiaIi ,t ,n_ ' runner is a cut ic|ntocuuu^ .tWw. ... -rp:ars to be three ploughs attached to one 6tock, and so arranged that the se:ond tums the ear:h into the furrow made by the tint, and the third | turns the earth into the furrow made by the second. ' Tne stock is lJie that of a common shovel plough, j or bull tongue, with a cross piece framed into the ! ocani between the points at which the handles and i tree arc attached, this piece inclining forward at the right hand end. The irons arc made to turn the earth only to the right. One is attached to the tree, where the lull tongue would be attached, and the others to the above-named cross piece on the right. The American Farmer follows the cut of the plough with the following remarks: " The .thrive cut represents tiic Paten' Seed and Corn Plough so favorably no :ici'd by Dr. Jos. F. .Muse, in our paper of 2(Jih of last June. As will be seen, it is a three furrow plough, each one cuts five inches, him! so constructed as to turn ho cat lb handsomely over, and in the most suitable manner for cultivating corn t*r seeding wheat.

It it" too I'-ng for our columns. A summary of it will be found in the following article Iroin the National I ntelligenccr; CONGRESSIONAL ANALYSIS. Senate.?Thursday, July 13. After some morning business of tin usual sort, the correspondence between this Government and the Mexican was taken up, as communicated by the Pies, idnnt of the United States, under the call at the beginning of this week. It con. sist.s, as the reader is already informed, " * i ri of a series <>1 loiters between the secretaries of State of the two countries. The answer of Mr. Webster, which is before our readers at large, isn very able, complete, hut calm, exposure of the folly of what the Mexican Minister allege* :igai..st the faith and the amity of ou: public demeanor towards his Government. This exposure rests on two main points: 1st, the justice, moderation, and even in. .luliience of our conduct towards Mexi< (>; 2'lly, the gross v rongfulm as of her acts and the violence of her language towards us. The Secretary shows, in the masterly manner of which ho is so capable, thai the facts of which Mexico complain* are not such as to wu-raut her displeasure ; that these are individual acts, not national ones; that they have been discouraged bv our Government, as far as it was in rts power to do; but that our citizen* ini'/rntcd vhen lliry [into iVxasi or any other country with which wc arc at peace, nor have we any coercive power by which to hinder them. We had, in common with England, France, and Holland, recognised the independence of Texas; and from that moment wc could j tin liwirrur tirrxli i l\t rtiir noroJo fn?m trm fltf I "" I" ..w... h H , thither, nnd ceased to he accountable for their acts done from that territory. For these Texas herself was alone re- j sponsible, if, indeed, any warlike operations had, from that Slate, been carried on against Mexico; but there have been ; none. Texas has not invaded Mexico, j hut has maintained only a defensive war, I suspended on her part whenever the cesI sat ion of Mexican attacks permitted it. | The Secretary then recites the early and constant regard which this country I n (and its Government have manifested to, wards Mexico, Irom the dawn of her independence, our early declaration in her favor, nnd the. sincere nnd kind amity which we have inaiu'ained towards her, in the face even of the most serious violations of our national rights. He contrasts with such conduct that ?,f Mexico towards us; her violation of her own laws and treaties towards our citizens \isiiing 01 resident in her terpitorv ; her rapacious spoliation of their property; her violent outrages against their persons. The fact is then apparent that Mexico founds her menacing complaints against us, and her charges of perfidy, upon acts done by private persons, our citizens no longer, from an 111rwl.mt ti?rrifnrv whili* on Imr *\vii wuv... . , , , - part, it is the Government itself which tramples on our citizens and violates the most solemn treaties. He compares the respectful, the friendly language which, in our whole intercourse with Mexico we have held, and our moderation and patience under continual injuries, with the causeless violence and indignity with which we have hecn almost constantly repaid. Thus far the first letter and reply.? The Mexican Secretary'* second is that which has lately appeared in print. It adds to the hostile tone of the tirst the indignity of being communicated, in all its disgraceful iicss of terms, to the foreign (diplomatic agents resident in Mexico, j and the gratuitous indecency of being thus published only ten days after the former one was sent off, and long (of course) before it could even he received by the Power to whom it was addressed. Mr. Webster's second letter comments, briefly but strongly, upon these facts, and characterizes the language cf the letter, not less than the mode arid time | of its publication, as every Way ? uoju?i and indecorous." lie considers the charges against our Government a? ** derogatory to the character of trie United I States, and highly offensive." The threat ' '' r? that, if our conduct is persisted in, Mexico will regard it as amounting to direct hostility, is met precisely as it should he? that is, with a very hricf declaration "that the United States, having performed all their public cuties towards Mexico in reI latum to Texas, have no change to make ! | ' n [ I in their conduct, and will make none." ; A communication follows, from our new Minister, General Tnonipson, to the Mexican Government, on occasion cf Mr. Hocanegta s last Ictti r, to wntch, under, trie circumstances of its publ.cation in j Mexico, our envoy considered an mimed- I late reply necessary, in advance of the more regular and authoritative one which < was to he expected from his Government, lie urges, in the main, the same topics of vindication which the Secretary ol Slate nod menn time adopted. < He denies any violation towards Mexi- i co on our part of the obligations of nation- ' al law. That such is the fact, is ahutidily shown by the absence of all complaint except the totally unfounded ones as to I Texas. He insists on the uniform kind- j nes.Niind courtesy which we have ohverv- ; ed towards Mexico, in the midst even ol j i tillecn years ol continual national wrongs towards us. He proceeds to examine and answer the three causes of hostility now alleged : 1st. That public meetings had been held amongst us in favor of {Yxas; 2*1- That p.id had hern furnished ! to Texas by volunteers from this country; 3d. That arms and munitions of war had been supplied to Texas by persons in this { country. That the first of these is no ground of! complaint, ail national iaw (General i Thompson insists to (makes it clear. Tublie meetings are no violation of neutrality. The action of the Government ran alone constitute this, lie instances our meetings in favor ol Ireland, of which , liritain has never complained; like ones mi favor of the Canadian insurgents; in** Knglish abolition meetings to denounce slavery in this country, and their assemblies, at another tune, in favor of Poland. As to the second complaint, ho answers ; ihat we have no power to withhold oui citizens from going abroad for any purpose that they like. They now did so only ns when, in other times, they went out ?s volunteers to join the Mexican < forces against Spain. I As to the complaint, he replies that, no toriotisly, it is by private person*, anu i not by ihe Government, that those suppiles of arms and munitions are sent. Oi i such furnishing ? contraband of war,1' forfeituuru ol the property, he insists, is the only consequence, under national law; nor doji it at all affect the amicable relations with tho Government whose p ivate citizens only are concerned in such acts. A bodv of loss' important documents lotloued; which were not read. Mr. Preston rose to enforce variou> points in this very grave matter. Ho in sisted, as before, (hat there could he no question of the high moderation and frirbearanee with which we have inet, on the part of Mexico, a series of injuries and indignities, such as it would havo been; utterly disgraceful to bear, except from a nation whose feeble a id embarrassed state made concessions and patience a matter of magnanimity in a country so j much more powerful and secure. Had such acts been committed or such language been committed or such language heen , used against us bv any of the large Euro. ! p? an States, they would have heen met, j by every citizen of this country, with one ! general burst of indication, one general | clamor for reparation or vengeance. Mr. Crittenden also made some brief but spirited remarks on the matter. He | approved the tone of the correspondence, j He especially approved its forbearance. Me trusted that we should ever exhibit such towards the weak, who often at. tempt, in this manner, to magnify themselves by violence. Ours should bo the Roman maxim: " Parccre subjectis ct dobellarc superbos." He was glad of the right and high spirit of these communications. There was a light in I hem which he agreed to sec breaking, in this instance, from thut cloud which rested upon the present Adintnis. t rat ion. Mr. Linn made a few observations ex. preswive of his satisfaction at seeing this correspondence, and intimating that he should, perhaps, liavo something to say upon the matter when it should again come up. Sagacity of a Doo.?On Tuesday last, a ycung man about 18 years of nge, residing near Tap ley's Brook, in Danvers, ( left liia father's .house in the morning, , with his dog. gun, &c. for the purpose of shootinir. About noon the dog entered ! the house, and appeared in a state of ex. Iraordinnrv agitation, making many molions which were afterward understood to he invitations to follow him, but which at the time occasioned some apprehensions that he was about to suffer an attack of the hydrophobia. Finding that no attention was paid to his wishes, he finally left the house, and was not seen afterward for several hours, when he again entered and recommended his attempts to induce the family to follow him. A person then in the house, but who was not there be at the doofsprevious visit, ! observing his strange conduct, and learning that it was similar to what had been exhibited before, concluded that there was sufficient " method in his madness" to constitute him a safe companion, and accordingly followed him ou4-to see w hat would come of it. At first, in his eagerness, the dog ran out of sight of the man who followed him, hut being recalled by a whistle, kept himself afterward only a short d stance in advance. The man fol lowed * through brake and through briar," Kut **/??* miner daunted when the dog plunged into the reccssps of a swamp. Determined to see it out, however, he went in after him, and there discovered the voting man lying upon tne ground insensible, and with his face dreadfully shattered by the discharge of his gun. He was taken home immediately, the dog following in tiiumph. and although, a* we learn, still insensible, yesterday morning, was not considered lit a hopeless con- ', dition.?Sclcm Gazette.
