 SENATE, March 25.-When Mir. White had concluded his speech.

 Mir. Webster rose and said, that, when he moved for leave to introduce this bill. he could not have anticipated that gentleman on the other side of the House would have selzed the occasion to transfer to this mo- llon' the debate which was going on, upon the resolutions offered by the honorable gentleman from Kentucky. l ayaAed my self (said Mir. Webster) of the common in- ldi9ence to explain the nature of the pro- ! posed measure, and to make some remarks i 'n the general state of things, which in my T oplnlon rendered its introduction eYnedient | Lhis IS usual, and though, for myself, if I 'ther reasons did not exist, should not wish s e prevent debate, even at this early stare. 3 rom gong to any lengths; yet, I cannot ID onsen', by acquIescing in this course, to do a 1just'ce to the important subject previously Ii xisting before the Senate. It is due to inc il nportance of that subject, to public expec- " ation, and 10 the gentleman who introduced s aese resolutions, to allow him to brinp fhe fl oi them to close, and to take VI le sense of the Senate upon them.

 feel bound, therefore, to adopt some \ purse, winch shall give to the Senate pos- tn ession agam ot the resolutions of the zen al eman from Kentucky. In the mean time. e, y only present object is answered. 1 S, we repeatedly expressed the opinion, that re relief will be had, until it come from tbe Fl f1uenee of opinion among the people. an am perfectly satisfied, in the nrasent f., sfracted state of sentiment in Washingtop. lal at nothing will be done until public opn- th, eompels it, and that public opinion must ! only De urgent, and urgently expressed. SC favor of relief, generally, but that it must thi further, and must indicate some distinct ad easure of relief. od 1 need not advert to tbose ohv;one xo. tol as which make it absolutely necessary, bal II pubic opinion, among the people, should sio 'ume some definite form, and point to orc ne specific remedy, in order that opinions Tn e may harmonize. n;t, hith these views, I have proposed this VI asure. l believe it the best-tbe most ore simplest--and the most sio cticable. IL is now hefo,o .bo .a..s,a l,,. ss se WI, Wno believe m the necessity of some pla neda,e T, remedy will consider it, compare me 'l,n other propositions, and make up their ing
