December 81. In THE SENATE numerous
resolutions were introduced Oh various sub
jects. Some OF our readers may not be aware
that Mr.. Tappan, Loco-ioco Federals, from
Ohio, has introduced in the Senate, bill to
limit the terms Of the Judges of the Supreme
Court Of the United States to 7 years.


The Rev Mr. CooKMAN, Of the Methodist Church
Of this City one of The most interesting and eloquent
of our Clergymen, was elected Chaplain 10 the Se-
nate, BY majority OF 20 votes.


In THE HousE it being petition day, the
time was occupied in attempting to devise
plan to dispose, more efectually and satisfac-
torily, Of abolition petitions, but nothing def
mite was accomplished, and the House ad-
journed over New Years day.


On the subject Of abolition petitions we
may hazard the remark that Shakespeare was
good Judge of human nature, and his saying
that "M impediments il tancs's course Gre
motires Of more fancy," might be proitatly
acted upon in this case.
