We shall next week insert the charter ot
the MeLrV?^^rirail Road Company.
From Congress we liave nothing worth reporting.
The House of Representatives of Illinois
hu passed a set of resolutions adverse to the
sub-Treasury project, and the iuiico?.on of tho
Federal revenue in specie, to the exclusion of
the notes of specie paying banks.
The term of Mr. Rives' service in the U.
S. Senate will expire with the present session.
The Van Burtm party in the Virginia Legisla.
ture are said to have fixed upon S. G. Tucker
as their candidate for tie office. The Whigs
speak of Mr. Tazewell. The Legislatrue is
divided into three parties, Whigs, .administration
men, and Conservatives. The WhijJs
are the strongest but Have not a majf>r?<y ?i mi
whole. It ^ \ery uncertain who will he elected.
If the conservatives though much the
smallest, persist in supporting Mr. ltivcF, the
\V?jigs may ultimately unite with them and
elect hlrn.
Late accounts stale that the adminis'ration
patty have dropped Mr. Tucker, and taken up
the Hon John Y. Mason.
Mr. Rives is said to have openly declared
himself in favor of .Mr. Clay as a candidate for
the Presidency.
In New York the two houses of Assembly
vote separately in the election of U. fc>. Senator,
and no one can be chosen unless he receives
a majority of votes in each house. A
oalloting took place on the 5th instant when
Mr. Talhnadge received 77 votes, AdJison
Garderer 4-, scattering 4. In the Senate,
Talhnadge received 14, scattering H. Neither
house is likely to yicid ; so the Legislature
will probably adjourn without making any
election. Delaware is likely also o adjourn
tvithnnt rWtirrr a senator, becai'iO the two
. houses arc of different j olitics, a a J cannot
agree.

Morehcad and Mr. Smith, the commissioners
appointed by Kentucky to represent to
the Legislature of Onto ihe importance of
additional legislation by t?lio latter state to
punish the intcrferance of a part of its population
with the slaves of Kentucky, have been
refused the privilege of appearing before the
Legislature, according^ universal custom, in
such cases. Tiioy have been required to
make their communications through the Governor.
Whether this is to be considered as
an indication of a purpose on the part o{'Ohio
to disregard tne reasonable deman s of
her s:ster stale, and of a willingness to give
up the union of the stale*, remains to be
seen.

TRIBUTE TO THOMPSON.
Aeliil!c3' wrath great Homer sings,
And i'roy beseiged and won;
While to our view soft virgil brings
Anchisos* nvgiity son.
Performing deeds of valour great,
As well became Ins birth ;
Tiio founder ol a mighty state,
Great mistress of the earth.
But w ho can tell if now a name,
Uusung by bard be 'ore,
Should get itself stil. wider fame
Than ail the men of yore.
To thee I look most elassic muse,
If thou wilt deign to own
A lard 'hat dotu plain English use,
O lef the work be doue!
My song begins : the sacred lire,
The sluggish thought make* bright.
My bosom swells with strong desire,
Some wondrous things to writeGreat
Thompson, now thy fame is sure,
j For millions yet to live,
Will laud thy name yet more and more
For praise that now 1 givo.
Thou Father of the art of steam,
As well as number six,
Already do thy followers teem,
They sure, thy fame will iixNot
Philip's son nor Ccesar's self
So famous haifas thou.
They only live on students shelf,
While men before the bow.
With sword and fire, of old, men
Their conquests did pursue ;
Lobilia's charms and strong Cayenne,
These are the auns for you.
The fir? thou sure dost use,
Rut not to devastate,
'Tis but to make men sweat profuse,
This sure docs iife create.
Those ancient heroes strove for blood,
But this thou dost decry ;
Thou wiit not spilljthc vital ;
Tis shameful thus to die.
If men will lose their vital breath,
No matter what you try,
Then let them a!! be steamed to death,
So sweet a way to die.
Lobilia, steam, and number six,
And pepper tea with all?
Oh, this grand system once but fixed,
And will men die at all}
Diseases which now fiercely teem
With fractures, bruises, sores,
Can all be cured by potent steam,
And numbeis, some few scores.
Thy practice too, oh how easy,
Just buy a patent*right,
And thy book, ah, this will please thee,
Then at it go with might.
No study hard docs it require,
No ponderous book to learn,
With dollars ten and strong desire,
Thy labours long we earn:
You must not leave your trade at all,
Let that be what it may,
When men are sick iust let them call
Tis ten to one they'll stay?
Farewell great Thompson, fare theo well
Anil thy disciples too,
Thy wonderous cures, far more can tell
Of thccand thein?adieu.

t The qnostion of uboli'ion was incidentally tli
themo of discussion in the Senate again thi
1 morning. A politiou was presented by Mr. Cla)
of Kentucky fro.n tho cities of this Districl
asking that Congress would not interfere inthei

i came out in a bold and manly manner, and wv.
! highly complimented by Mr. Calhoun, lor tli
j avowal ho had made. Mr. Calhoun said h
; might now consider abolition us done, fairly s
an end ! Mr. Clay placed the abolitionists i
three different closes in this country. Fiisl
those who, from teclings of philantlirophy an
humanity, were opposed to the cxistonco c
! slavery. Second, those who were apparent!
abolitionists and sought to ingratiato thcmselvc
j with the first class for sinister purposes, en
I dcavoring to make thciu bnJicvo tha' liberty c

'His speech is one oftho best he ever deliver

and the thinking portion of tho counrry. It pro
duced so great an effect in the Senate Chamber
that immediately after Mr. Clay had coueludet
his remarks, and a few words had been spoken
by Mr. Calhoun, the Senate adjourned. It was
impossible to do business, so great was the excitement
and effect produced. Mr. Calhoun
complimented Mr. Clay's speech, said it was a
triumph to the South?would do great good,
&c., &.c. It satisfied him altogether, and vya*
the true Stato's Right doctrine."
