Congress has been extremely animated this
week. Two separate whirlwinds have whirled
up in both branches. Mr.. Calhoun's noble reso-
lutions in the Senate, and the extraordinary at
tack upon the Caroline by McNab's English sol
diers, in the House.


Mr.. Clay lin the Senate) delivered great
speech, and offered amendments to the original
propositions of Mr.. CALHOUN; but as yet the
subject lies open, and may continue to do SO un-
til the Senators tire of hearing each others sweet
voices The resolutions being abstract propo-
sitions, afford fine field for all the Senators to
discuss, and away they dash, regardless of the
great interests of the country. An American
Senate debating the slave question, which is set
tied to every honest mind in the land; when our
citizens are murdered on the northern frontier,
and at the south our gallant officers are falling
by the hands of savages too noble in natures high
feelings to leave their native land, though war
may forever ring through their hammocks, and
its fires blaze around their dwellings,. The
Seminole Indians have fought for high place in
history; and because they dress in the skins Of
deers, the pen of the historian should not pass
lightly by their sublime courage and their irwin
chile love Of their natal eart-butlet it pass gently
and forgivingly by the deeds Of our Congress,
which debates abstract questions at their leisure,
in such time of general gloom and dread.


blame all parties alike: the Administration
and the Opposition; for they are nothing to me,
as parties. They are the representatives of the
people, and should throw aside the garb of parti-
zanship when they take their seats as counsellors
for the whole American people.


| am forced to leave out much that | had pre-
pared; indeed it would be impossible for me to
write out at length, every thing that transpres in


the two Halls; nor would you find room to pub
lish their proceedings.
