One or two lata numbers of the Statuman betrny a marvellous loving kindness for the Abolitionints ! It is very much outraged at the conduct of McNul-ty's constituents towards them has receivod tho public "thanks" of tho hand-organ of the party in this city and is copying liberally from their publications. What upon earth lias come over tho spirit ot our neighbor to excite this new passion, and induce him thus to give vent to his " love's young dream 7 Can it be possible that tho fate of the Lo-cofoco party has bocomo so very desperate that even the Sbitesman u bout to abandon it, and fom a " holy alliance" with the Abolitionists? Or does he want to play the Mulian game over again ? " What can the matter be ?" nilODE-IHl.ANI) CHARTER ICE-CREAM. Some people have a faculty of speaking just as flippantly, and just as well, upon subjects which thny know nothing about, as uimn those of which they are best informed. Wo sometimes suspect our neighbor of tho Statesman to bo of this fortunate class. For some time past " the Charter of Rhode-Island, granted by Charles II." has been a favorite topic with him and we dare say that to tho minds of his readers ho has made that antiquated paper perfectly luminous though he has himself never seen it, and knows nothinir of its provisions. In a lalo number of his paper he assures his readers that this "Charter of Rhmle-Ielund, granted by Unarics it." -is noi a Constitution it is a mere corporation charter, deluding tlx pooau: from a vote." See there now ! what a block-head that Charles II. was, not to have formed a State Con.tfiition for Rhode-Island, ISO years before there was any such State ! And moro the stupid fellow, "by the grace of God of Great llritainand Ireland King, and defender of the faith," was but a sorry excuso for a democrat Now all kings, princes, and potentates ought to he democrats Ought they not, Mr. Statesman? Dutso it is tho world has boon going wrong for centuries j and it is as much as our neighbor can do to til it right and keep it from going so still. Rut to tho ice-cream : We do not profess to be wry familiar with those musty charters those abominable "monoKilics" those relics of royalty, by which the British crown coded to the people juris diction over tho territory which they were colonizing ; and as our neighbor is chock-full of knowledge re specting thntn, we bog to bo enlightenod by him. Will he please to point out to us tho clause in the Charter, "trciuing a pooa man rauM a vot." if ho will, we will bo happy to meet him the next evening, and discuss with him a glass of ice-cream. Dear Mr. Statesman, will you do it? GsA.tn IjMislatioji. Tho Legislature of Connecticut recently pissed a special act allowing tho Shcrin" of llirtford county his account for delivering a convict of the State Prison, amounting to Mire del-lariaiul tixly-fre nnU ! Wa h'tvo seen the foregoing paragraph in several exchango papers, the editors of which seemed disposed to sneer at tho idea of IcgitMing in reference to so small a matter. But does it not show a fad, which, properly improved, might be of eul fmwr-tnnct, in moro States than ono ? Does it not show that in Connecticut even the paltry sum of throe dollars and sixty-live cents cannot tind its way from the peoples' treasury, M'ithnnt the direct sanction of the peoples represent itivcs r o presume Utc practice has not obtained in Connecticut, of placing largo sums at the disposal of officers, under tho denomination of a "contingent fund" or if such a practice exists there, our word for it, lite expenditures from audi fund ore rigidly scrutinized. We do not charge that any looseness obtains in the disbursement of tho contingent fund by any department ol our State government, for wo know nothing of the fact, tm or ron. But we are aware that the opinion prevails to otne extent among the people, that these 'tamd'rurrnf" appropriations constitute very considerable drains upon tho treasury i and that the disbursements arc nut guarded with sufficient scrutiny. Before making ourselves too merry at the expense of our Yankee brethren, would it not bo worth our while to examine into those niattors at home ? A FIX.

As we predicted. Uio nieeiinjf at I.bnnnn.on Siit-tirdiy Irwt, was n roiijitr. Upwanls of .'MKK) people wore in attendance, (iov. ('orwin addressed the mectiiifr in a speech of an hour and a half. Other centleiuen aluo spoke and aiunnjj tho immher Air. Thmnaa ClilT, Wcsver, from Dayton, spuko from hi loom. Mr. Kchcnek, of Dayton, made a speech, in the course of which ho proposed llfcNKY TLAY for the Presidency, and histstifxestion Wss responded to with enthtisiasin by tho multitude. We wait for the Ijcbanon Mir, to (rive us a more detailed account of the meeting and its cheer, and cbwo for the pro- cut, by givinylhe following resolutions, reported by a Committee, and unanunoiHly adopted by Uic Meet ings fnmtvf, That aa a constituent portion of the Treat Whiff twrtv in Ohio, tins. convention is in la- vor of a pernianf nt Tnritf for the Protection of A niencnn Intliwtry J of a weH-retrulated Htato and National Itink; of a distribution ol the proceeds ol the Natwnal domain among the Hutcs, and of a single President in) term. RrfiotrfH, That, in tho opinion of this convention, the executive extrnvopanco and the innumerable, frauds ami peculations which were introduced into the official departments of the General Government, in all their varied rami tic at ions, during the two last executive terms, originated in, and were cherished and promoted by tho cnmint and corrupting system of rcwnrdiiiir political friends and supporters without retrard to competency or elm meter, and we highly approve of theelforts of those members of Conjrress who are exerting themselves to ferret out and prevent the recurrence of these frauds j to almlish useless otficerm, and reduce all tho e xHncs of tho General (inrnr.iiiienl until tliev shall he bnmirhtdown to Uie ei'onomical standard uf tho earlier and bettor daya of the Kcpohlic. ItfMoirtdt That this convention absolutely con-doinnsUio course pursued by President Tyler, in presuming to veto the bill for the establishment uf a National Hunk, mi the ground that Congress could not constitutionally create a Hank, when the Supreme Court of the United States had decided Unit Con gress hod such power thus assuming to himself more lejrnl learmiiftf anu wisuom man me ninesi ju dical trihuital in tliu union, wiui unci jusuco mur hull at its head. A'fso'rvs, That this convention coniidcra the de cision of every conatitutmiuil or leys! question properly brouuht before Ihc Supreme Court of the United Hutes, as binding upon every officer of government, fnmt tho Kxecutive down to the most inferior t and that any other opinion ia calculated to unsettle all constitutional uocstion and placo tho Kxccutivo above nil conititutional rest rami, HeiHiirrtl, That in the opinion of this convention, the hard money currency system which tho Anti-Dank party in Ohio havo been endeavoring to intro-duet and in which they have in a great measure auc-cteded, ia entirely too hard to be borne lenger. nnd, that in view of the pecuniary difficulties thus brought upon us, every friend to the prosperity of his country, whatever may be his opinions in other matters, should unite their strength at the approaching election to give us a good State Bunk and branches, so guarded as to secure tho bill holder tirst and vet subject the innocent stockholder to no other liability than to the amount of his stock. Iieaolvtd, That the majority in the present Legislature of this State, in refusing any action in regard to the currency adapted to nllbrd substantial relief to the people, and in their determined and reckless opposition to every recommendation of measures to Congress for the protection of tho sgricultural products, manufactures, and honest industry of OJiio, have shown themselves nnworthy and incapable of representing the wishes, or protecting the interests of a free and independent community. Uanlvrit, That the Whig party in Ohio expects every Whig district to return to the next General Assembly its proper ratio of Whig representatives, and to that end this convention respectfully recommends harmony and unity in action of such candidates for the same office, and that every Whig voter attend the polls and cast his vote, not in reference to himself or his district only, but to the success of the principles which he advocates. Jlesolvcd, That to insure the result contemplated in tho foregoing resolution, this convention recommends that the Whigs of every county in the State, whether in the majority or minority, asseniblo in pri-mury or county meetings and adopt such thorough organization as shall bring every Whig to tho polls at the npprouching annuul election. ItenoSvcd, That our confidence in the talents, integrity, and patriotic spirit of Thomas Corwin, our fellow citizen, remains unchanged, and we hereby pledge ourselves to back this opinion hy giving him n majority in this county of at least 1-00 votes over his competitor at the next election. iftsoW, That the peiiple of tho United States have tried the Free Tradesystcm of tho Messrs. Cul-houn and Benton until they have seen the prosperity of the country destroyed, and the National Treasury rendered bankrupt thereby, and that it is high time it should be abandoned. linotvcd, That wo recojnizo tho manifesto of the Whigs of Congress tit tho close of tho extra session of 1841 as a correct exposition of Whig principles.

In the Senate of the United Slates, on the 0th inst Mr. Merrick, fnmi the committee on tho Post Orlieo and Poet Koad, reported a bill "tnreduco and equal-iio the rales of postatie ; to limit the ue and correct Uio abuse of tho fptnkin? privilege, and fur other purpose1 which was read and passed to a aecond nmding;. Some of the features of tormcr enactments on the subject are preserved in this bill, whilst a number of others nre rejtealed, and superseded by new ones, a synopsis of which follow: The first section id' tho bill establishes the rates of postage upon all lei ten and (wickets as follows : For every letter composed of a single sheet, conveyed not exceeding thirty miles, five cent; over thirty, ami not excooding nnu hundred and fifty miles ten cents: over one hundred, and titty and not exceeding four hundred miles, twenty renH; over four hundred, twenty-hvo cents ; ami tor double or triple loiters, increased relative rales. The third section enacts that after the hirtieth of September next, there ahall he paid on all ncws ta pers anil is' nodical a continuing not more Uinn square inches, (he sainv rate uf postage fixed by lite thirteenth section of the Act approved March!!, It&j; and iinon all ncwsiwipers of greater site than stpiaro inches, an additional postage of ono cent for every live stuaro inches over and above mo said nu to Iter ot im hes. The privilege to receive and transmit letter. packets, newspapers, periodicals, or other matter, through Uie mails, tree ot postage, is contineu by this hill to the President of the United States, Vice Pre- s uie nt of the United States, the F.x-Presidentsof tho United Slates, or tho widow ol anV Fx-Prosident, atid the Secretaries of State, of the' Treasury, of W ar, of tho Navy, and uie r;tmntef General. The fourth section requires all officers of the Gov ernment heretofore having tho franking privilege, to keep an account of all postage charged and payablo n noil letters, packages, or other matters received through the mail by thoni in relation to tho duties or business of their respective oli'cea ( and proviOes for the pnvment of such accounts for postage, upon bo rne diilv verihed, quarter-yearly out ot the contin gent fund of Uio bureau or Department to which Uio officers may roncc lively belong. Tho tilth section prohibits members of Congress from transmitting any Idler, newspnter, or pack a go; other than such as they themselves have occasion to send Uirough tho mail. Any member convicted of exercising uio irsiiKing pTiturtr hi vhuwioii ui uio amtvo nrmmiom suuiccut hunsell to a tine ot twenty dollars for each oll'ence. Thopurty at uhoso instance or for whom the Irnnking wus done, is subject to lined in the same sumt and it ia nndclhe imperative duly of (he Postmattor Goneml, and Ins deputies throughout thecnuntry,nn becoming acquainted with any auch oiTem'o, to prosecute thn offenders for Uie same. It ia enacted by tho eleventh section that no foreign vessel of any description shall convey lt ttera from one port to another in the United States, Any vessel guilty of an infraction of this law, forfeits tho sum of hve hundred dollars, and is liable to bo pro ceeded against in any court ol the I ntted Mates. TIIURSDAV EVENING, JUNE 23, lWi THE APPORTIONMENT. The vexed question of fixing tho ratio or represen tation in Congrcaa is settled so fur aa depends on the action of Congress, and ere Uiis has doubtless receivod tho sanction of Uie ExecuUve. We wore truly gratified at Uie prompt and unexpected action of Uie Houso of Representatives, in needing from its twice expressed partiality for a comparatively low ratio. bespeaks a spirit of libomlity and concession on the part of the House, which is at times bo essential to Uio transaction of public business. This action of tho House is the more remarkable, becauso al! the sacrifices resulting from it wore required to be made on its own part it affected no other branch of tho government It was remarkable, because for the first time since the existence of our government, by the voluntary action of tho people's representatives the number of representatives is rtductd and consequently Uie prospect for each member constituting thut House being again returned as a member, is proportionably diminished. It was to that extent a sacrifice on the part of Uie individual members composing the House. And to our view, Utat vole was one which in an edpecial manner challenges Uie approbation of the American people Tho House of Representatives was alroady too numerous for the successful and ready despatch of business. With Lho rapid increase of population, this evil continued to increase, and the only remedy which offered, was a more extended ratio of representation and that remedy has been applied. Wo transfer to our columns to day, an excellent speech of Mr. Jons Quincy Adams, in opposition to this action on the part of the House. It is doubtless as good a speech as could bo made on thut side of Uie question. Some of its reasonings are cogent but still they are insufficient to satisfy our mind, as they were insufficient to convince Uie ultimate udgment of the House, that a more extended ratio of representation will nut conduce to the more prompt and fuiliiful despatch of lho business of legislation. Wo give this speech to our readers, because wo know that many of them habitually read the remarks of Mr. Adams with interest and attention; and although they may difter from him in Uio conclusions at which he arrives, yet nevertheless, ihcy can scarcely rcud his arguments without profit TRAPPING AND MINING. A number of tho prominent Locnfoco politicians seem of late to have boon seized wiUi a passion for trapping witi mining. Mr. Van liurtn is now out on an excursion, setting his spring-tnijis throughout the Western country, nil nicely baited with a promise of tho similej," nnd adroitly concealed. I ho game, lowover, may be seen any wnere in uic iron, rooting for the bait While thw ingoing forward, news reaches Wash ington, of tho astonishing richnens of some mine, elonging to Mr. Calhoun and straightway he leaves his aoal in Congress, and pottts off on a mining expodition. The knowing ones hint that he will be pt to spring a mine that will 5jriiiff all the lrap$, so adroitly sot by his wily rival. Wo smnxme that Mr. CM noun retains some recol lection of the eircumbentt'tbug of Mr. Hamilton, of New York, through South Carolina and Georgia, somo twelve years since and how Gen. Jackson shortly after began to ask him questions ubout what he thowrht respecting the Seminole campaign, while member of Mr. Monroe's cabinet and how, when Mr. C. answered the questions, the old General broko forth in broken Latin and English, something after this wise:" Etta Wrue.'" " Understanding yju, now, Sir" and so on. Now, we do not believe that Mr. Van Huron will get rich by theifr trade, or M r. Calhoun by the gold miney this present season though their friends tell marvellous stories uboiit their success. Rest assured that tfoud honest digging, even in a CVrTisoilt is much better for the common people! Tho Statesman appears very much concerned about the arrival of a very distinguished rogue and pick-pockot from Europe, Qiwti Is not the Statesman thus showing his aversion tn foreign importation? Or, is he afraid that Uiis celebrated visitor, should he find his way into Ohio, may succeed in getting into Uie Locofoco State Cenlral Committee, to the exclu sion of some uf the Suleiman's more particular riends ? Poos ho know one Van Rensselaer? Q? Mr. A. Kelly arrived nt Boston, on Saturday morning last, in ship Britannia, from Liverpool, whence sho sailed on tho 4lh inst ARRIVAL OF THE BRITANNIA. TII1KTKRN DAYS LATER FROM FXKOPE. Tiro alttmpt to (unntsinate the Qetn nf England wore aistmrouM netcs jrom jui-j-uii o n. The Britania arrived at Boston about 1 1 o'clock on S iturd iv morning. She left Liverpool on the af- teriionn of lho 4th, and brings London and Liverpool pipers of the morning ol tli it y. The British war steamer Rhadanianthus arrived at Halifax on tho 15th inst with despatches to Ird Ashhurtnn. and orders for the Warsuite to proceed to tho Mediterranean. The special messenger to Lord Ashburton came Irom llalilax in tho uritama, and it is rumored that his despatches are of tho high est imnortuiico. The most nrominent item of news are two attempts unon the life of the Queen of England, and the full of tilinznee, one of the strongest British fortresses in India. On the present condition of Uie money market, the Hankers' Circular stnies: " It does not appear to us that thn value of money is likely to fall lower; at least, o may say that it would not be prudent to lock it up at a low rate permanently, or for a considerable period, Tho East India Com pan v inted, we think at no distant Hate conic into tho Lughrdi market as borrowers.

Several extensive acizures of the article had been made. The subscriptions tn London, Pans, and indeed all over Europe, in behalf of the sufferer by the great tire at Hamburgh have been on uie moat iiuerai ana unprecedented wale, notwithstanding the commer cial depression which prevails so extensively every where. Munv more arrests had been made at Pans, of per sons siipiosed to bo implicated in Uie late attempts upon the Hie ot uie King. Tho British appear to bo making immense prepa rations lor the niosecntion of the war in China and India.

AiTKHPTa ITON Till, I.IKE ill Tilt UlJht.i UF KM.tAMJ. Another madman, or a monster without tho excuse of umdness has attempted the assassination of llie bo-loved Sovereign of tho Uritnh Empire. Alsix o' clock on Monday evening, as her u.ajeaty, accompa nied by Prince A limn, was returning to Uie Palaro in an open barouche, with outriders, an asanasin presented a pistol, and discharged it it Uie Queen, Irom very nearly the same spot on Constitution Hill from wlurh Oxford tired. The wretch was insinntlv seized by a soldier of the Scotch Fusileer Guard. lie waa at first siinpoHud to be a foreigner, but it appears, unhappily, that he is an Englishnian, named John Francis, son to a sccne-shiflor at one of Uie Uieatres. Ho is about 20 years of age. Col. Arbulhnot and Col. Wylde were close to the royal carriago when the pislol was fired. We understand the prisoner whs bo close to them tiiattiio smoko came into their faces. When the news was known to Uie two houses of Parliament they immediately adjourned. The Palace was thronged with inquiries after her Majesty, and tho whole town was in astute of Uie greatest excitement.The assassin was examined before the Privy Council, and conveyed the sumo night to Newgate. The prisoner, who was narrowly watched, passed a very qiet night, and although often visited by the governor ho did not enter into any conversation, or make the least allusion to his diabolical offence, or the motives by which ho was actuated. It has been stated that her Majesty was not awaro of tho attempt having been made, until informed after her arrival at the palace, but an eye witness informed us tiiut ho has no doubt that she observed tho Hash of Uie pistol, as she became so much agitated that she was only prevented from falling by Princo Albert supporting her. As soon as the Queen and Prince Albert had returned to the Palace, Count Mrnsdorf went over in one of Uie royal carriages to tho Duchess of Kent, at Clarence House, St James' ; and after communicating in Uie most delicate manner what had occurred, instantly returned to Buckingham Palace with her Royal Highness, who was received by her Majesty, (whose nerves did not appear in the slightest degree shaken) in tho most warm, affertinnote, and nt tito same time; cheerful manner. The Duchess of Kent was, on the other hand, deeply afiVeted.and fell upon her Majesty's neck, shedding a flood of tears. Tho Queen, however, gaily carcssedber royal mother, and assured her that she had not sustained Uie slightest alarm or inconvenience, and that there were no grounds for alarm. The news of her Majesty's escape was receivod with Uie warmest demonstration of joy, at all tho places of public amusement in tho metropolis, and indeed throughout the country. The Queen and her royal consort on the following ovening visited Hyde Park. It appears that an attempt had been made upon her Majesty's life on tho Sunday previous, the particulars of which are thus sated: A Mr. Pearson states that on Sunday, about two o'clock, w hile walking in St James' Park, he saw the carriages containing her Majesty, Prince Albert and suite approaching from Uic Chapel Royal, and when near the little gate leading out o! Uio drive into tue Green park, ho saw a young man who was standing near him, with his back to the rails, pull a pito out of his breast and, as tho Queen's carriage pasHed, present at it but whether ho pulled tho trigger ho could not tell. At any rate the pitol did not go off, nnd no soon er had tho carriago pnaxed than the individual returned the weapon to his breast Mr. Pearson Iihv- ng unfortunately a most serious impediment in his peech, mav account, in some measure, tor ms not hiving raised nn iiiitnut alarm. Ho admits, aluo, mt ho at first considered the exhibition of the pis tol was out of a frolic, and not seeing any police man near, considered the party would be out ol si y lit before ho could make persons understanding meaning.

The following is an ox tract from the speech of oiis Quitter Amms on an amendment made to the Apportionment Bill nf tho House hy the Sen ile, by which the ratio of representation should be raised so as to diminish Uie nuirftier of Tneintiers i&'tlie Houso of Representative. The opinions presented are uf igh value Irom their general bearings upon the Uie- orv of our Government : The bill as amended by the Senate gave 21 mem bers, and was a decimation of this Houso as it now exists. In Roman history, where there had been any great mutiny or rebellion in the army against tho commanding general, he hid the power of pcrfunn- ing that operation, ol decimating the army; that was, i aumorismg cverv ien men m put one man to leatlu Mr. A. could not conceive of any thing more perfectly annalogtma to than this attempt on the part it the .tcnaie tn decimitiiite this House as it now ex isted. Instead of following tho course which God ml nature had given, of increasing tho representa tion of this Hou-te, the Seintc had determined to arrest tho course of nature, and as the population in creased to diminish their representation. They had now a Houso of '4X1 mcmhrs; the nenate proposed j tn redure th il number. These iM'i members were l fixed at a timn when the population of this country wna ubout 1000,000; and now, with an increase of 50 per cent with a population of le.00B.0OU, Uie peo ple were to be deprived of one-tenth part of their rep-resontition which was t ot thought too much for I'i,- 000.000. He did not profess to be one of the pure Democracy " of this country in the sense in which that word was understood in a party point of view; but he professed to he a Democrat to Uie utmost extent, so fur as rotated to lhecoinMtsition of this Houso, this House was tho democratic branch anil depart ment of the Government of tho United States, It represented the people, nnd that Uiere should be a proportion, so fur as prictic:ihe, between the number of the people and Uie number uf their representatives nn this tlor, appeared tn him to be a first principle in our Government which never ought to be violated. lo never would viol ;i to il until the representation hould come to what it might in the course of a cen tury until it should be so numerous that tho samo objection which made it necessary that there should he a representation of the people would apply to these representatives of the people themselves. 'Hiis was the only objection which, il appeared to him, ought to be considered in settling this point What was true democracy ? Tho theory of Nature, (hat existed in nature and in tho world. It was Uiat invernntent so far as the people could he convened. should he a Government of Uie people themselves; and every thing in the nature of representation was only a necessary departure from this, in consequence ol the number growing so large Hint the people cannot assemble to consult on measures of legislation. Representation, thcrcloro, was a necessary exHdient, sustituted for tho action of the Hople themselves. So long as the assembly was not so numerous as tint it became impracticable lir Uiem to net, so long tho greater the number of representation wna, the neirer it approached to the democracy of the people. This was self-evident and it wan thn principle nn which the Constitution nf the United Stales was framed. He was old enough In rememher the time when this Constitution was framed when it was discussed and debated by the people in all the Slates; snrl well did he remember lhat one nf the strongest objections made against it in every part of (he Union was, that representation was not and could not be autticicntly numerous. There wss, therefore, a very great question in the early periods nf the organitntinn of Governmentwhat the number of constituents should be for every H epresentative ? It was debated a long time what should be the minimum, and it was a great question whether it should even he ,10.000 whether that was not too numerous a constituency. Many of hia opinions nn the subject of the Constitution were formed in the course of these debates, which ho had followed with intense interest from the time when tho Convention at Philndelpnia itwued forth the Constitution till it wna finally adopted, and until the first representation under the first census was made. Hav ing formed these opinions at that time, and havitur considered that, in the organization of this Govern ment this House wna emphatically (ami ho perhaps nui' I it add exclusively Whe concentration nf the dem ocratic power of the peojilo of the United State in liit'ir uiiinuuni Mirm in iii-riiiHi-iu, ui? nan iwnyt adhered, from that time to this, to the principle that tho representation in this House ought to bo as numerous, in proportion tn the body nf tue coii'tituencv. aa practicable to meet together, and that as the population inrroased, the representation should increase accordingly. 1 hat was tho principle on which ho had voted for the ratio nf ,V),17B adopted by the I loupe,nnd under which he had determined not to vote for any proportion nf representation under 50,000 or above tiO.000 ; and when a friend nf his a moat excellent theoretical man, and a most excellent practical man, excepting that his theories and practice did not always apron hud nioed a larpo representation. he had been exceedingly delighted; at his proposition rinding but little favor in this House, Among the many numbers votd on one after another, on the large numbers mere wna a large majority of this (loudc against Uiem, and he hoped Uiis House would adhere to the opinion on which they rejected so decisively any of Uie largo nuinbersexcocding(iO,000. He had been willing to take the number the majority of the House concurred in, between G0,000 and 50,-000. If .the Senate should choose to lose Uiis bill and twenty others on tho subject, never should his vote go tor uio number Uie benalo had now chosen. When he spoke of Democracy he hoped the House would understand hi in. He was not a Demo crat of the "Five Points.1 Laughter. That was n party Democracy to which he never had belonged ; but for representation in Uiis House he believed ho was as Democratic as any member in Una House. It was Uie representation of tho people of the Uni ted States lhat was here concentrated. If they went into another branch of Uiis department they found no Democracy ; there was none in it by the Consti tution. What was the representation of that House ? It was Uie representation of corporations. That body (and he did nut intend to disrespect it) was essentially and necessarily Aristocratic. It was tho Aristocratic branch of this Government Was not that evident ? Had not Delaware, (to which ho was now so desirous of doing full justice by giving her an additional member,) had she had not been told that it was her vote in that House which was to be her compensation for not having a fair proportion here ? Delaware there, with her two votes, had precisely Uie same power as the great State of New York had, with her forty votes, on this floor. The gentleman from Delaware (Mr. Rodmivl represented a do nida tion of nearly 80,000; tho two Senators from New York represented a population of about 2,500,000 tiiirty times that amount Ho thought that the Cramers of the Constitution, in assuming the State Le gislatures of this Union as the constituents of that body, did perfectly well ; but it was not Democratic, assuredly, it was the accommodation of the aristo cratic, principle to I he composition of the people of uie unuca oiaies, ana mere were concentrated the corporation principle, the independent soveignty principle, the State rights principle, (for which he had tho highest respect, representing as he did, in part, one of those sovereign States in tins House, but he hoped it would not be willingly and waiitnnlv brought into collision with the power ot the people in this I louse.) Iet that body perform its proper functions ; let it be a clnin in the organization of the laws of the Union; let it maintain Uie States' rights tn the fullest extent: but let it not un lertake to tell this House how the people of the United Stales should ho represented here. Thut was a trust committed to this House by Uic ponplc ; and, if it was not made an exception by the Constitution of tho United States to the powers the Senate hud of amending the acts going from this House, in hia opinion, tho House ought to maintain itrfe facto, and never allow tho Senute tn dictate to this House what tho representa tion oi mo people should be hero. Ho had attended as much as ho could to the course of Uie argument used in the Senate in order to carry Una amendment He did not know but it might be out of o.der to refer to it hero ; but one of the main points on which Uic amendment was carried in the Senate was the argument thut if this House should bo too numerous it would become too powerful for them, and would overwhelm the power of the Senate. What was tho meaning of that? The Senate chose to reftrict the power of the United Suites in choosing their representative for fear lho representatives of tho people would bo too much and too powerful for Unit body, and thus the interest of tho Senate whs to hn made the test and principle on which Uio Uio representation in this House was to be formed. Mr. A. did not think either that tho Senate hid not personal influences on this subject or thut Uiis House was unduly influenced by personal motives. He did not believe that Ihc House, in sending to the Senate tho ration of 50,171), was moved by personal influence. On tho contrary, from Uie argument used in Uie Senate, to which he had adverted, that this House was becoming too numerous, and would be too powerful for tli em, it apgieured that Uiero wus a great deal of personal influence on them. There wus going on (and he wished now tn sneak without giving offence to any party, because he believed all parties having any power in this House were equally responsible on the subject) whit was the very nature of things, as proved by the history of our Government and all free governments, and all other governments there naa a perpetual Btrugglc going on between the three separate branches of (his Govprmncnt to encroach on the functions of pnetrrnmr. It was the dnty w every one OT TTTrnT to resist that encroachment He might recur to the resolutions passed not a week ago, ns an instance of what ha conceived an attempt on the part of this Houso to encroach on the Executive, in which the House undertook lo declare disapprobation of what the President, acting under his o ith of office, hid done; from which resolution he (Mr. A.) differed altogether. It m not the province of Uiis House to pass votes of approbation or disapprobation nn the nets of tho Executive. It was enough for tho House to approve of what it did itself, nnd that he believed they would tind, when they came tn their sober second thought,1 they would" not always do. Ho said this in perfect sincerity and candor; but he must say Ui it, during tho wholo history of our Govern ment this House had been infinitely more sinned against than sinning. Previous to the adoption of Uio Constitution, in re I ere mo to what this House would bo under tho present constitution of Govern ment it had been apprehended that this body, being uie representative oi me rcopic, would be continually encrmching on tho other branches, Uio Execu tive or Uie Senate, and there had been a disposition on the pi rt of some an to do. Ho remembered a debit e which occurred in tins limine, in which a very distinguished, 1 hough very eccentric, member from Virginia, said tint in all the discussions which took placo between Uiis House nml tho Senate, his loaning was (a itliout meaning to uo any injumirc iniavorni una imuse, nnd so in all the discissions between this Mouse nnd the Execu tive; and in all the discu-uious between the Executive and tho Senate, his loaning wna in favor of the rtennte, because he had a joiIdihv towurds tho Ex ecutive, ns enmpnred with this House or the other, that made him favor Uio case uf those who were most numerously supported. He (Mr. A., went nart- ly on that principle ; but in order to check and control it he went on the doctrine that thia House mid the other House of Congress ought as cautiously to ostain Irom encroaching on the powers nf Uie Ex ecutive, as it wna the duty nf tho Executive to abstain from encmoching on the powers of either branch nf Congress. In the history of this country since uiei.onstmmon nad existed, it had been asurprisui tiling to him to see that this Houso nenerallv hai manifested none of tho disposition In encroach on tho other department hile it hod suffered the other departments to encroach on it That was what was now nltemnlinir tn hn dime on the very question before thia House, and as hn believed it was Uie pccu'iir province of this House, to decide this, he hoped it would resist every altempt to enennch on a powers as Uio rep uacntative of Uie copie. Tho Hon. Jout C. Cai.iioi' nasaed thmuirli Richmond a few davs ntro. on hi wnv in ilm South tn look after the new discovered gold mine on his lind in Lumpkin cnuntv.Gconna.

THE TIMES THE SEASONS. Tho husbandman is now just about to thrust the sickle into the new grain ; and never did harvest promise a more abundant yield. We have been visited with the early and Uie latter rain, and tho earth has brought forth her increase. It is a most cheering and consoling consideration, that the times and the seasons are not tho appointments of miin; otherwise they would be wrested to purposes of selfishness and ambition. How presumptuous how short-sighted a creature is man! How worso than vanity is his wisdom! Surrounded as we are, by all Uie elements of social and individual prosperity, icluit ia our condition? Are we a happy and contented people? Ask tha farmer, the professional man, tho mechanic and whatever may be tho diversity of their views upon other topics, thero Is a lamentable unity upon this all, all are discontented with the present state of things. All are oagerly pressing forward to brighter prospects which may prove equally illusory. All are pursuing Uie phantom of hope, eager to embrace that which in its best fruition is but disappointment and vanity! And such is human life. We go bustling and elbowing our way tiirough its busy scenes, trom hope to disappointment, and frwn disappointment to fresh hopes again. It is but Uiat spirit of divinity within us1 which saves in from despair amid the oft detected fallacies of our best laid schemes of happiness. It is our best wisdom not to hope too much as the result of our own poor efforts, and yet not wholly to despair of compassing some good. To cherish in us that spark of immortality which prompts to action ; but act as if our best judgments need to be re-judged. TALL RYE TALLEST. Many of our contemporaries have been bragging of tall rye raised by farmers in their roscctivu vicinities but if they want to boo thz tnHeitt, let them look Uiis way.

For neatness of execution, and convenient arrangement of matter, it surpasses any publication of the kind that has fallen under our observation. We doubt not but it will be found a aafo guide to such as do not choose to rely upon their own judgment in handling paper money. SPRINGFIELD, ILLINOIS. Tho following jmff direct to Springfield, (which we know is a very clever place iu its way,) has been pluced in our bunds with a request for its insertion in the Journal.

PROSPECTS OF OCR CITY. Notwithstanding the depreciation of the currency, and the pressure of thn times, Springfield continues lo improve. About one hundred buildings went up lout year, and among them some heautiltil and costly stores occupied by Mr. Griiuslcy, and Messrs. Jew-ctt ot Hitchcock, will compare with any in the Western country. Tho commission house of Messrs. Grubb & Low is, on Uie east side of the ft 11 are, and thoso now building hy Mr. 11. S.

Of the residences, thoso of Messrs. lies. Iiwin, and Birch-hall in the South part of the city, make Uie best ap- iiearaiice. Iho south -weal quarter ot the city lias been nearly covered over with houses within Uie last year. 1 he south part, and an that quarter 01 the city on me east aiong uie line 01 1110 re 11 roan iroin Cook to Washington streets, lus been spread over with new buildings; and the improvements north, and north-east of Uie State House, have been perhaps equil to any other portion. Tlio extensive building during the pressure of 'JOand '41 (he many auhstamial improvements now making in different parts of the city the commodious tavern about to be opened by Mr. Latshaw between Uie American and the railroad the ware-houses and other build ings in contemplation tn that quarter and other plnces, indicate the amount of capital Springfield will employ, and tho extent nf trade it will ultimately command.

TYLER. The opinion is gaining ground, that a tariff bill for pro'ection, as well as revenue, with a provision for diKtributinfr the proceeds of Uio public lands, will be met with the President's veto. In this condition of the public feeling, wo have Uinught it best to recur to Air. Tyler's sentiments upon tho subject as expressed during the campaign of 18-10, The following is nn extract of a letter from Mr. Tyler, addressed to V. Robinson, Jr., of Pittsburgh, dated the 17th October, 1&10. " My opinions were fully expressed at St Claiw-ville and at Stcuhrnville. At both places, in regard to the question, What aro your opinions as to tho Tariff? I answered that I was in fuvorof sustaining, the Compromise Bill. That it contained the principle of retro-action, Uie moment the duty attained itn minimum, which forced up tho protection to instanti, to wind iprs ttjuivtdtnt to 40 per cent. That Ui change which it ell'eclcd iu the plan of valuation, and the mode of payment, was fully equal in my view V or 30 per cent; and lhat with a cessation of Urn war upon the currency which had paralyzed Uie industry of tho Country, I was sanguine in ttie hopo tnd the belief, that prosperity would be speedily restore . That in connection with this, I would take occnaio.i to say th.it 1 was in favor of Uio distribution of U o proceeds of tho sale of the public lands among U e States, and in favor of mining tho revenue by otitic on imports, in opjwsition to a resort to a system of direct taxation, as every way onerous to the peoph , unproductive to tho treasury and expensive in thn collection. That in tliene views 1 was pleased t believe that I concurred with Mr. Clay and Generl Harrison, so that thero existed a prospect, in the event of Gen. Harrison's election, that a permanent systuu would bo introduced in place of a fleeting and evrr-yarying syatem, which promises one Uiing to-day anl produces another to-morrow.

JEFFERSON ON THE TARIFF. We recomrrend the following opinions of Jefef- ion to the JelTersonian Uemocrata," many of whom appear to have lost sight of a cardinal principle ct his faith. What has our friend of the Blairsxillu Record to say to them? In a letter to iSentaimn Austin, written in leflo an l published in Nile1 Register, he say at " Compare tho present state of things with Uiat ol 'rtf. and sav whother an opinion founded in the cir cumstances of Uiat day can be fairly applied to U:oa of the present We have experienced what we then did not believe, that there exists both profligacy and power to exclude us from lho field of iiiterchango with other nations that to be independent lor uio comforts of life wo must fabricate them ouraeh o. Wo must now place the manufacturer by the side of the agriculturist. The former question is suppressed, or r.tther assumed a now form. The grand enquiry is now, shall we make our own comtorts, or iro with out them at the will of another nation ? lie therefore, who is now against domonlic manufactures, must bo for red uc in if us either toa dependence on that nation, or be clothed in akins, and to live liko wild beams in dens and caverns. I am proud to say I am not one of them. Experience has taught me that manuiic-tures are now as necessary to our independence m tn our comfort and if Uiose who quote me aa of a different opinion, will keep pace with me in purclmsiii nothing foreign, where an equivalent of domctio fabric can be obtained, without regard tn any difference of price, it will not be our fault if we du not havo a supply at home equal to our demand, and wreat Uiat weapon of distrowa from the hand Uiat had so long wantonly violated it." Airam, in a letter written to Wm. Rimpsin, Esq , in 1HI7, and published in Nilea, Register, hearty: I hivo read with great satisfaction the elo pirnl pamphlet you were so kind aa to send me, and kviii-pnthiae with every line of it; I waa once a doubter whether the lahor of Uie cultivator, aided by thn creative power of the earth itself, could not produco more than that of tho manufacturer alone and linns-ited by tho dead subjoct on which he artel; in other words whether the more we could brine; into action of the eneririos of our boundless territory in addition to Uie labor of ourcitiiena, the more would he our gain.

One or two lata numbers of the Statuman betrny a marvellous loving kindness for the Abolitionints ! It is very much outraged at the conduct of McNul-ty's constituents towards them has receivod tho public "thanks" of tho hand-organ of the party in this city and is copying liberally from their publications. What upon earth lias come over tho spirit ot our neighbor to excite this new passion, and induce him thus to give vent to his " love's young dream 7 Can it be possible that tho fate of the Lo-cofoco party has bocomo so very desperate that even the Sbitesman u bout to abandon it, and fom a " holy alliance" with the Abolitionists? Or does he want to play the Mulian game over again ? " What can the matter be ?" nilODE-IHl.ANI) CHARTER ICE-CREAM. Some people have a faculty of speaking just as flippantly, and just as well, upon subjects which thny know nothing about, as uimn those of which they are best informed. Wo sometimes suspect our neighbor of tho Statesman to bo of this fortunate class. For some time past " the Charter of Rhode-Island, granted by Charles II." has been a favorite topic with him and we dare say that to tho minds of his readers ho has made that antiquated paper perfectly luminous though he has himself never seen it, and knows nothinir of its provisions. In a lalo number of his paper he assures his readers that this "Charter of Rhmle-Ielund, granted by Unarics it." -is noi a Constitution it is a mere corporation charter, deluding tlx pooau: from a vote." See there now ! what a block-head that Charles II. was, not to have formed a State Con.tfiition for Rhode-Island, ISO years before there was any such State ! And moro the stupid fellow, "by the grace of God of Great llritainand Ireland King, and defender of the faith," was but a sorry excuso for a democrat Now all kings, princes, and potentates ought to he democrats Ought they not, Mr. Statesman? Dutso it is tho world has boon going wrong for centuries j and it is as much as our neighbor can do to til it right and keep it from going so still. Rut to tho ice-cream : We do not profess to be wry familiar with those musty charters those abominable "monoKilics" those relics of royalty, by which the British crown coded to the people juris diction over tho territory which they were colonizing ; and as our neighbor is chock-full of knowledge re specting thntn, we bog to bo enlightenod by him. Will he please to point out to us tho clause in the Charter, "trciuing a pooa man rauM a vot." if ho will, we will bo happy to meet him the next evening, and discuss with him a glass of ice-cream. Dear Mr. Statesman, will you do it? GsA.tn IjMislatioji. Tho Legislature of Connecticut recently pissed a special act allowing tho Shcrin" of llirtford county his account for delivering a convict of the State Prison, amounting to Mire del-lariaiul tixly-fre nnU ! Wa h'tvo seen the foregoing paragraph in several exchango papers, the editors of which seemed disposed to sneer at tho idea of IcgitMing in reference to so small a matter. But does it not show a fad, which, properly improved, might be of eul fmwr-tnnct, in moro States than ono ? Does it not show that in Connecticut even the paltry sum of throe dollars and sixty-live cents cannot tind its way from the peoples' treasury, M'ithnnt the direct sanction of the peoples represent itivcs r o presume Utc practice has not obtained in Connecticut, of placing largo sums at the disposal of officers, under tho denomination of a "contingent fund" or if such a practice exists there, our word for it, lite expenditures from audi fund ore rigidly scrutinized. We do not charge that any looseness obtains in the disbursement of tho contingent fund by any department ol our State government, for wo know nothing of the fact, tm or ron. But we are aware that the opinion prevails to otne extent among the people, that these 'tamd'rurrnf" appropriations constitute very considerable drains upon tho treasury i and that the disbursements arc nut guarded with sufficient scrutiny. Before making ourselves too merry at the expense of our Yankee brethren, would it not bo worth our while to examine into those niattors at home ? A FIX.

As we predicted. Uio nieeiinjf at I.bnnnn.on Siit-tirdiy Irwt, was n roiijitr. Upwanls of .'MKK) people wore in attendance, (iov. ('orwin addressed the mectiiifr in a speech of an hour and a half. Other centleiuen aluo spoke and aiunnjj tho immher Air. Thmnaa ClilT, Wcsver, from Dayton, spuko from hi loom. Mr. Kchcnek, of Dayton, made a speech, in the course of which ho proposed llfcNKY TLAY for the Presidency, and histstifxestion Wss responded to with enthtisiasin by tho multitude. We wait for the Ijcbanon Mir, to (rive us a more detailed account of the meeting and its cheer, and cbwo for the pro- cut, by givinylhe following resolutions, reported by a Committee, and unanunoiHly adopted by Uic Meet ings fnmtvf, That aa a constituent portion of the Treat Whiff twrtv in Ohio, tins. convention is in la- vor of a pernianf nt Tnritf for the Protection of A niencnn Intliwtry J of a weH-retrulated Htato and National Itink; of a distribution ol the proceeds ol the Natwnal domain among the Hutcs, and of a single President in) term. RrfiotrfH, That, in tho opinion of this convention, the executive extrnvopanco and the innumerable, frauds ami peculations which were introduced into the official departments of the General Government, in all their varied rami tic at ions, during the two last executive terms, originated in, and were cherished and promoted by tho cnmint and corrupting system of rcwnrdiiiir political friends and supporters without retrard to competency or elm meter, and we highly approve of theelforts of those members of Conjrress who are exerting themselves to ferret out and prevent the recurrence of these frauds j to almlish useless otficerm, and reduce all tho e xHncs of tho General (inrnr.iiiienl until tliev shall he bnmirhtdown to Uie ei'onomical standard uf tho earlier and bettor daya of the Kcpohlic. ItfMoirtdt That this convention absolutely con-doinnsUio course pursued by President Tyler, in presuming to veto the bill for the establishment uf a National Hunk, mi the ground that Congress could not constitutionally create a Hank, when the Supreme Court of the United States had decided Unit Con gress hod such power thus assuming to himself more lejrnl learmiiftf anu wisuom man me ninesi ju dical trihuital in tliu union, wiui unci jusuco mur hull at its head. A'fso'rvs, That this convention coniidcra the de cision of every conatitutmiuil or leys! question properly brouuht before Ihc Supreme Court of the United Hutes, as binding upon every officer of government, fnmt tho Kxecutive down to the most inferior t and that any other opinion ia calculated to unsettle all constitutional uocstion and placo tho Kxccutivo above nil conititutional rest rami, HeiHiirrtl, That in the opinion of this convention, the hard money currency system which tho Anti-Dank party in Ohio havo been endeavoring to intro-duet and in which they have in a great measure auc-cteded, ia entirely too hard to be borne lenger. nnd, that in view of the pecuniary difficulties thus brought upon us, every friend to the prosperity of his country, whatever may be his opinions in other matters, should unite their strength at the approaching election to give us a good State Bunk and branches, so guarded as to secure tho bill holder tirst and vet subject the innocent stockholder to no other liability than to the amount of his stock. Iieaolvtd, That the majority in the present Legislature of this State, in refusing any action in regard to the currency adapted to nllbrd substantial relief to the people, and in their determined and reckless opposition to every recommendation of measures to Congress for the protection of tho sgricultural products, manufactures, and honest industry of OJiio, have shown themselves nnworthy and incapable of representing the wishes, or protecting the interests of a free and independent community. Uanlvrit, That the Whig party in Ohio expects every Whig district to return to the next General Assembly its proper ratio of Whig representatives, and to that end this convention respectfully recommends harmony and unity in action of such candidates for the same office, and that every Whig voter attend the polls and cast his vote, not in reference to himself or his district only, but to the success of the principles which he advocates. Jlesolvcd, That to insure the result contemplated in tho foregoing resolution, this convention recommends that the Whigs of every county in the State, whether in the majority or minority, asseniblo in pri-mury or county meetings and adopt such thorough organization as shall bring every Whig to tho polls at the npprouching annuul election. ItenoSvcd, That our confidence in the talents, integrity, and patriotic spirit of Thomas Corwin, our fellow citizen, remains unchanged, and we hereby pledge ourselves to back this opinion hy giving him n majority in this county of at least 1-00 votes over his competitor at the next election. iftsoW, That the peiiple of tho United States have tried the Free Tradesystcm of tho Messrs. Cul-houn and Benton until they have seen the prosperity of the country destroyed, and the National Treasury rendered bankrupt thereby, and that it is high time it should be abandoned. linotvcd, That wo recojnizo tho manifesto of the Whigs of Congress tit tho close of tho extra session of 1841 as a correct exposition of Whig principles.

In the Senate of the United Slates, on the 0th inst Mr. Merrick, fnmi the committee on tho Post Orlieo and Poet Koad, reported a bill "tnreduco and equal-iio the rales of postatie ; to limit the ue and correct Uio abuse of tho fptnkin? privilege, and fur other purpose1 which was read and passed to a aecond nmding;. Some of the features of tormcr enactments on the subject are preserved in this bill, whilst a number of others nre rejtealed, and superseded by new ones, a synopsis of which follow: The first section id' tho bill establishes the rates of postage upon all lei ten and (wickets as follows : For every letter composed of a single sheet, conveyed not exceeding thirty miles, five cent; over thirty, ami not excooding nnu hundred and fifty miles ten cents: over one hundred, and titty and not exceeding four hundred miles, twenty renH; over four hundred, twenty-hvo cents ; ami tor double or triple loiters, increased relative rales. The third section enacts that after the hirtieth of September next, there ahall he paid on all ncws ta pers anil is' nodical a continuing not more Uinn square inches, (he sainv rate uf postage fixed by lite thirteenth section of the Act approved March!!, It&j; and iinon all ncwsiwipers of greater site than stpiaro inches, an additional postage of ono cent for every live stuaro inches over and above mo said nu to Iter ot im hes. The privilege to receive and transmit letter. packets, newspapers, periodicals, or other matter, through Uie mails, tree ot postage, is contineu by this hill to the President of the United States, Vice Pre- s uie nt of the United States, the F.x-Presidentsof tho United Slates, or tho widow ol anV Fx-Prosident, atid the Secretaries of State, of the' Treasury, of W ar, of tho Navy, and uie r;tmntef General. The fourth section requires all officers of the Gov ernment heretofore having tho franking privilege, to keep an account of all postage charged and payablo n noil letters, packages, or other matters received through the mail by thoni in relation to tho duties or business of their respective oli'cea ( and proviOes for the pnvment of such accounts for postage, upon bo rne diilv verihed, quarter-yearly out ot the contin gent fund of Uio bureau or Department to which Uio officers may roncc lively belong. Tho tilth section prohibits members of Congress from transmitting any Idler, newspnter, or pack a go; other than such as they themselves have occasion to send Uirough tho mail. Any member convicted of exercising uio irsiiKing pTiturtr hi vhuwioii ui uio amtvo nrmmiom suuiccut hunsell to a tine ot twenty dollars for each oll'ence. Thopurty at uhoso instance or for whom the Irnnking wus done, is subject to lined in the same sumt and it ia nndclhe imperative duly of (he Postmattor Goneml, and Ins deputies throughout thecnuntry,nn becoming acquainted with any auch oiTem'o, to prosecute thn offenders for Uie same. It ia enacted by tho eleventh section that no foreign vessel of any description shall convey lt ttera from one port to another in the United States, Any vessel guilty of an infraction of this law, forfeits tho sum of hve hundred dollars, and is liable to bo pro ceeded against in any court ol the I ntted Mates. TIIURSDAV EVENING, JUNE 23, lWi THE APPORTIONMENT. The vexed question of fixing tho ratio or represen tation in Congrcaa is settled so fur aa depends on the action of Congress, and ere Uiis has doubtless receivod tho sanction of Uie ExecuUve. We wore truly gratified at Uie prompt and unexpected action of Uie Houso of Representatives, in needing from its twice expressed partiality for a comparatively low ratio. bespeaks a spirit of libomlity and concession on the part of the House, which is at times bo essential to Uio transaction of public business. This action of tho House is the more remarkable, becauso al! the sacrifices resulting from it wore required to be made on its own part it affected no other branch of tho government It was remarkable, because for the first time since the existence of our government, by the voluntary action of tho people's representatives the number of representatives is rtductd and consequently Uie prospect for each member constituting thut House being again returned as a member, is proportionably diminished. It was to that extent a sacrifice on the part of Uie individual members composing the House. And to our view, Utat vole was one which in an edpecial manner challenges Uie approbation of the American people Tho House of Representatives was alroady too numerous for the successful and ready despatch of business. With Lho rapid increase of population, this evil continued to increase, and the only remedy which offered, was a more extended ratio of representation and that remedy has been applied. Wo transfer to our columns to day, an excellent speech of Mr. Jons Quincy Adams, in opposition to this action on the part of the House. It is doubtless as good a speech as could bo made on thut side of Uie question. Some of its reasonings are cogent but still they are insufficient to satisfy our mind, as they were insufficient to convince Uie ultimate udgment of the House, that a more extended ratio of representation will nut conduce to the more prompt and fuiliiful despatch of lho business of legislation. Wo give this speech to our readers, because wo know that many of them habitually read the remarks of Mr. Adams with interest and attention; and although they may difter from him in Uio conclusions at which he arrives, yet nevertheless, ihcy can scarcely rcud his arguments without profit TRAPPING AND MINING. A number of tho prominent Locnfoco politicians seem of late to have boon seized wiUi a passion for trapping witi mining. Mr. Van liurtn is now out on an excursion, setting his spring-tnijis throughout the Western country, nil nicely baited with a promise of tho similej," nnd adroitly concealed. I ho game, lowover, may be seen any wnere in uic iron, rooting for the bait While thw ingoing forward, news reaches Wash ington, of tho astonishing richnens of some mine, elonging to Mr. Calhoun and straightway he leaves his aoal in Congress, and pottts off on a mining expodition. The knowing ones hint that he will be pt to spring a mine that will 5jriiiff all the lrap$, so adroitly sot by his wily rival. Wo smnxme that Mr. CM noun retains some recol lection of the eircumbentt'tbug of Mr. Hamilton, of New York, through South Carolina and Georgia, somo twelve years since and how Gen. Jackson shortly after began to ask him questions ubout what he thowrht respecting the Seminole campaign, while member of Mr. Monroe's cabinet and how, when Mr. C. answered the questions, the old General broko forth in broken Latin and English, something after this wise:" Etta Wrue.'" " Understanding yju, now, Sir" and so on. Now, we do not believe that Mr. Van Huron will get rich by theifr trade, or M r. Calhoun by the gold miney this present season though their friends tell marvellous stories uboiit their success. Rest assured that tfoud honest digging, even in a CVrTisoilt is much better for the common people! Tho Statesman appears very much concerned about the arrival of a very distinguished rogue and pick-pockot from Europe, Qiwti Is not the Statesman thus showing his aversion tn foreign importation? Or, is he afraid that Uiis celebrated visitor, should he find his way into Ohio, may succeed in getting into Uie Locofoco State Cenlral Committee, to the exclu sion of some uf the Suleiman's more particular riends ? Poos ho know one Van Rensselaer? Q? Mr. A. Kelly arrived nt Boston, on Saturday morning last, in ship Britannia, from Liverpool, whence sho sailed on tho 4lh inst ARRIVAL OF THE BRITANNIA. TII1KTKRN DAYS LATER FROM FXKOPE. Tiro alttmpt to (unntsinate the Qetn nf England wore aistmrouM netcs jrom jui-j-uii o n. The Britania arrived at Boston about 1 1 o'clock on S iturd iv morning. She left Liverpool on the af- teriionn of lho 4th, and brings London and Liverpool pipers of the morning ol tli it y. The British war steamer Rhadanianthus arrived at Halifax on tho 15th inst with despatches to Ird Ashhurtnn. and orders for the Warsuite to proceed to tho Mediterranean. The special messenger to Lord Ashburton came Irom llalilax in tho uritama, and it is rumored that his despatches are of tho high est imnortuiico. The most nrominent item of news are two attempts unon the life of the Queen of England, and the full of tilinznee, one of the strongest British fortresses in India. On the present condition of Uie money market, the Hankers' Circular stnies: " It does not appear to us that thn value of money is likely to fall lower; at least, o may say that it would not be prudent to lock it up at a low rate permanently, or for a considerable period, Tho East India Com pan v inted, we think at no distant Hate conic into tho Lughrdi market as borrowers.

Several extensive acizures of the article had been made. The subscriptions tn London, Pans, and indeed all over Europe, in behalf of the sufferer by the great tire at Hamburgh have been on uie moat iiuerai ana unprecedented wale, notwithstanding the commer cial depression which prevails so extensively every where. Munv more arrests had been made at Pans, of per sons siipiosed to bo implicated in Uie late attempts upon the Hie ot uie King. Tho British appear to bo making immense prepa rations lor the niosecntion of the war in China and India. No less than oO.GUU stands ot arms had been forwarded to Bombay, by way of Alexandria and &u A letter from Vienna, in Uie Augsburgh Gaxctte, savs : As a menus of meeting tho extraordinary oxiwn s of the railroads, the government is about tn issue bills of from 50 to ;,XKI tlonns earn, similar to bairn notes, iwtv.ihle to bearer, but carrying an interest of three bur cent tier annum.

AiTKHPTa ITON Till, I.IKE ill Tilt UlJht.i UF KM.tAMJ. Another madman, or a monster without tho excuse of umdness has attempted the assassination of llie bo-loved Sovereign of tho Uritnh Empire. Alsix o' clock on Monday evening, as her u.ajeaty, accompa nied by Prince A limn, was returning to Uie Palaro in an open barouche, with outriders, an asanasin presented a pistol, and discharged it it Uie Queen, Irom very nearly the same spot on Constitution Hill from wlurh Oxford tired. The wretch was insinntlv seized by a soldier of the Scotch Fusileer Guard. lie waa at first siinpoHud to be a foreigner, but it appears, unhappily, that he is an Englishnian, named John Francis, son to a sccne-shiflor at one of Uie Uieatres. Ho is about 20 years of age. Col. Arbulhnot and Col. Wylde were close to the royal carriago when the pislol was fired. We understand the prisoner whs bo close to them tiiattiio smoko came into their faces. When the news was known to Uie two houses of Parliament they immediately adjourned. The Palace was thronged with inquiries after her Majesty, and tho whole town was in astute of Uie greatest excitement.The assassin was examined before the Privy Council, and conveyed the sumo night to Newgate. The prisoner, who was narrowly watched, passed a very qiet night, and although often visited by the governor ho did not enter into any conversation, or make the least allusion to his diabolical offence, or the motives by which ho was actuated. It has been stated that her Majesty was not awaro of tho attempt having been made, until informed after her arrival at the palace, but an eye witness informed us tiiut ho has no doubt that she observed tho Hash of Uie pistol, as she became so much agitated that she was only prevented from falling by Princo Albert supporting her. As soon as the Queen and Prince Albert had returned to the Palace, Count Mrnsdorf went over in one of Uie royal carriages to tho Duchess of Kent, at Clarence House, St James' ; and after communicating in Uie most delicate manner what had occurred, instantly returned to Buckingham Palace with her Royal Highness, who was received by her Majesty, (whose nerves did not appear in the slightest degree shaken) in tho most warm, affertinnote, and nt tito same time; cheerful manner. The Duchess of Kent was, on the other hand, deeply afiVeted.and fell upon her Majesty's neck, shedding a flood of tears. Tho Queen, however, gaily carcssedber royal mother, and assured her that she had not sustained Uie slightest alarm or inconvenience, and that there were no grounds for alarm. The news of her Majesty's escape was receivod with Uie warmest demonstration of joy, at all tho places of public amusement in tho metropolis, and indeed throughout the country. The Queen and her royal consort on the following ovening visited Hyde Park. It appears that an attempt had been made upon her Majesty's life on tho Sunday previous, the particulars of which are thus sated: A Mr. Pearson states that on Sunday, about two o'clock, w hile walking in St James' Park, he saw the carriages containing her Majesty, Prince Albert and suite approaching from Uic Chapel Royal, and when near the little gate leading out o! Uio drive into tue Green park, ho saw a young man who was standing near him, with his back to the rails, pull a pito out of his breast and, as tho Queen's carriage pasHed, present at it but whether ho pulled tho trigger ho could not tell. At any rate the pitol did not go off, nnd no soon er had tho carriago pnaxed than the individual returned the weapon to his breast Mr. Pearson Iihv- ng unfortunately a most serious impediment in his peech, mav account, in some measure, tor ms not hiving raised nn iiiitnut alarm. Ho admits, aluo, mt ho at first considered the exhibition of the pis tol was out of a frolic, and not seeing any police man near, considered the party would be out ol si y lit before ho could make persons understanding meaning.

The following is an ox tract from the speech of oiis Quitter Amms on an amendment made to the Apportionment Bill nf tho House hy the Sen ile, by which the ratio of representation should be raised so as to diminish Uie nuirftier of Tneintiers i&'tlie Houso of Representative. The opinions presented are uf igh value Irom their general bearings upon the Uie- orv of our Government : The bill as amended by the Senate gave 21 mem bers, and was a decimation of this Houso as it now exists. In Roman history, where there had been any great mutiny or rebellion in the army against tho commanding general, he hid the power of pcrfunn- ing that operation, ol decimating the army; that was, i aumorismg cverv ien men m put one man to leatlu Mr. A. could not conceive of any thing more perfectly annalogtma to than this attempt on the part it the .tcnaie tn decimitiiite this House as it now ex isted. Instead of following tho course which God ml nature had given, of increasing tho representa tion of this Hou-te, the Seintc had determined to arrest tho course of nature, and as the population in creased to diminish their representation. They had now a Houso of '4X1 mcmhrs; the nenate proposed j tn redure th il number. These iM'i members were l fixed at a timn when the population of this country wna ubout 1000,000; and now, with an increase of 50 per cent with a population of le.00B.0OU, Uie peo ple were to be deprived of one-tenth part of their rep-resontition which was t ot thought too much for I'i,- 000.000. He did not profess to be one of the pure Democracy " of this country in the sense in which that word was understood in a party point of view; but he professed to he a Democrat to Uie utmost extent, so fur as rotated to lhecoinMtsition of this Houso, this House was tho democratic branch anil depart ment of the Government of tho United States, It represented the people, nnd that Uiere should be a proportion, so fur as prictic:ihe, between the number of the people and Uie number uf their representatives nn this tlor, appeared tn him to be a first principle in our Government which never ought to be violated. lo never would viol ;i to il until the representation hould come to what it might in the course of a cen tury until it should be so numerous that tho samo objection which made it necessary that there should he a representation of the people would apply to these representatives of the people themselves. 'Hiis was the only objection which, il appeared to him, ought to be considered in settling this point What was true democracy ? Tho theory of Nature, (hat existed in nature and in tho world. It was Uiat invernntent so far as the people could he convened. should he a Government of Uie people themselves; and every thing in the nature of representation was only a necessary departure from this, in consequence ol the number growing so large Hint the people cannot assemble to consult on measures of legislation. Representation, thcrcloro, was a necessary exHdient, sustituted for tho action of the Hople themselves. So long as the assembly was not so numerous as tint it became impracticable lir Uiem to net, so long tho greater the number of representation wna, the neirer it approached to the democracy of the people. This was self-evident and it wan thn principle nn which the Constitution nf the United Stales was framed. He was old enough In rememher the time when this Constitution was framed when it was discussed and debated by the people in all the Slates; snrl well did he remember lhat one nf the strongest objections made against it in every part of (he Union was, that representation was not and could not be autticicntly numerous. There wss, therefore, a very great question in the early periods nf the organitntinn of Governmentwhat the number of constituents should be for every H epresentative ? It was debated a long time what should be the minimum, and it was a great question whether it should even he ,10.000 whether that was not too numerous a constituency. Many of hia opinions nn the subject of the Constitution were formed in the course of these debates, which ho had followed with intense interest from the time when tho Convention at Philndelpnia itwued forth the Constitution till it wna finally adopted, and until the first representation under the first census was made. Hav ing formed these opinions at that time, and havitur considered that, in the organization of this Govern ment this House wna emphatically (ami ho perhaps nui' I it add exclusively Whe concentration nf the dem ocratic power of the peojilo of the United State in liit'ir uiiinuuni Mirm in iii-riiiHi-iu, ui? nan iwnyt adhered, from that time to this, to the principle that tho representation in this House ought to bo as numerous, in proportion tn the body nf tue coii'tituencv. aa practicable to meet together, and that as the population inrroased, the representation should increase accordingly. 1 hat was tho principle on which ho had voted for the ratio nf ,V),17B adopted by the I loupe,nnd under which he had determined not to vote for any proportion nf representation under 50,000 or above tiO.000 ; and when a friend nf his a moat excellent theoretical man, and a most excellent practical man, excepting that his theories and practice did not always apron hud nioed a larpo representation. he had been exceedingly delighted; at his proposition rinding but little favor in this House, Among the many numbers votd on one after another, on the large numbers mere wna a large majority of this (loudc against Uiem, and he hoped Uiis House would adhere to the opinion on which they rejected so decisively any of Uie largo nuinbersexcocding(iO,000. He had been willing to take the number the majority of the House concurred in, between G0,000 and 50,-000. If .the Senate should choose to lose Uiis bill and twenty others on tho subject, never should his vote go tor uio number Uie benalo had now chosen. When he spoke of Democracy he hoped the House would understand hi in. He was not a Demo crat of the "Five Points.1 Laughter. That was n party Democracy to which he never had belonged ; but for representation in Uiis House he believed ho was as Democratic as any member in Una House. It was Uie representation of tho people of the Uni ted States lhat was here concentrated. If they went into another branch of Uiis department they found no Democracy ; there was none in it by the Consti tution. What was the representation of that House ? It was Uie representation of corporations. That body (and he did nut intend to disrespect it) was essentially and necessarily Aristocratic. It was tho Aristocratic branch of this Government Was not that evident ? Had not Delaware, (to which ho was now so desirous of doing full justice by giving her an additional member,) had she had not been told that it was her vote in that House which was to be her compensation for not having a fair proportion here ? Delaware there, with her two votes, had precisely Uie same power as the great State of New York had, with her forty votes, on this floor. The gentleman from Delaware (Mr. Rodmivl represented a do nida tion of nearly 80,000; tho two Senators from New York represented a population of about 2,500,000 tiiirty times that amount Ho thought that the Cramers of the Constitution, in assuming the State Le gislatures of this Union as the constituents of that body, did perfectly well ; but it was not Democratic, assuredly, it was the accommodation of the aristo cratic, principle to I he composition of the people of uie unuca oiaies, ana mere were concentrated the corporation principle, the independent soveignty principle, the State rights principle, (for which he had tho highest respect, representing as he did, in part, one of those sovereign States in tins House, but he hoped it would not be willingly and waiitnnlv brought into collision with the power ot the people in this I louse.) Iet that body perform its proper functions ; let it be a clnin in the organization of the laws of the Union; let it maintain Uie States' rights tn the fullest extent: but let it not un lertake to tell this House how the people of the United Stales should ho represented here. Thut was a trust committed to this House by Uic ponplc ; and, if it was not made an exception by the Constitution of tho United States to the powers the Senate hud of amending the acts going from this House, in hia opinion, tho House ought to maintain itrfe facto, and never allow tho Senute tn dictate to this House what tho representa tion oi mo people should be hero. Ho had attended as much as ho could to the course of Uie argument used in the Senate in order to carry Una amendment He did not know but it might be out of o.der to refer to it hero ; but one of the main points on which Uic amendment was carried in the Senate was the argument thut if this House should bo too numerous it would become too powerful for them, and would overwhelm the power of the Senate. What was tho meaning of that? The Senate chose to reftrict the power of the United Suites in choosing their representative for fear lho representatives of tho people would bo too much and too powerful for Unit body, and thus the interest of tho Senate whs to hn made the test and principle on which Uio Uio representation in this House was to be formed. Mr. A. did not think either that tho Senate hid not personal influences on this subject or thut Uiis House was unduly influenced by personal motives. He did not believe that Ihc House, in sending to the Senate tho ration of 50,171), was moved by personal influence. On tho contrary, from Uie argument used in Uie Senate, to which he had adverted, that this House was becoming too numerous, and would be too powerful for tli em, it apgieured that Uiero wus a great deal of personal influence on them. There wus going on (and he wished now tn sneak without giving offence to any party, because he believed all parties having any power in this House were equally responsible on the subject) whit was the very nature of things, as proved by the history of our Government and all free governments, and all other governments there naa a perpetual Btrugglc going on between the three separate branches of (his Govprmncnt to encroach on the functions of pnetrrnmr. It was the dnty w every one OT TTTrnT to resist that encroachment He might recur to the resolutions passed not a week ago, ns an instance of what ha conceived an attempt on the part of this Houso to encroach on the Executive, in which the House undertook lo declare disapprobation of what the President, acting under his o ith of office, hid done; from which resolution he (Mr. A.) differed altogether. It m not the province of Uiis House to pass votes of approbation or disapprobation nn the nets of tho Executive. It was enough for tho House to approve of what it did itself, nnd that he believed they would tind, when they came tn their sober second thought,1 they would" not always do. Ho said this in perfect sincerity and candor; but he must say Ui it, during tho wholo history of our Govern ment this House had been infinitely more sinned against than sinning. Previous to the adoption of Uio Constitution, in re I ere mo to what this House would bo under tho present constitution of Govern ment it had been apprehended that this body, being uie representative oi me rcopic, would be continually encrmching on tho other branches, Uio Execu tive or Uie Senate, and there had been a disposition on the pi rt of some an to do. Ho remembered a debit e which occurred in tins limine, in which a very distinguished, 1 hough very eccentric, member from Virginia, said tint in all the discussions which took placo between Uiis House nml tho Senate, his loaning was (a itliout meaning to uo any injumirc iniavorni una imuse, nnd so in all the discissions between this Mouse nnd the Execu tive; and in all the discu-uious between the Executive and tho Senate, his loaning wna in favor of the rtennte, because he had a joiIdihv towurds tho Ex ecutive, ns enmpnred with this House or the other, that made him favor Uio case uf those who were most numerously supported. He (Mr. A., went nart- ly on that principle ; but in order to check and control it he went on the doctrine that thia House mid the other House of Congress ought as cautiously to ostain Irom encroaching on the powers nf Uie Ex ecutive, as it wna the duty nf tho Executive to abstain from encmoching on the powers of either branch nf Congress. In the history of this country since uiei.onstmmon nad existed, it had been asurprisui tiling to him to see that this Houso nenerallv hai manifested none of tho disposition In encroach on tho other department hile it hod suffered the other departments to encroach on it That was what was now nltemnlinir tn hn dime on the very question before thia House, and as hn believed it was Uie pccu'iir province of this House, to decide this, he hoped it would resist every altempt to enennch on a powers as Uio rep uacntative of Uie copie. Tho Hon. Jout C. Cai.iioi' nasaed thmuirli Richmond a few davs ntro. on hi wnv in ilm South tn look after the new discovered gold mine on his lind in Lumpkin cnuntv.Gconna.

THE TIMES THE SEASONS. Tho husbandman is now just about to thrust the sickle into the new grain ; and never did harvest promise a more abundant yield. We have been visited with the early and Uie latter rain, and tho earth has brought forth her increase. It is a most cheering and consoling consideration, that the times and the seasons are not tho appointments of miin; otherwise they would be wrested to purposes of selfishness and ambition. How presumptuous how short-sighted a creature is man! How worso than vanity is his wisdom! Surrounded as we are, by all Uie elements of social and individual prosperity, icluit ia our condition? Are we a happy and contented people? Ask tha farmer, the professional man, tho mechanic and whatever may be tho diversity of their views upon other topics, thero Is a lamentable unity upon this all, all are discontented with the present state of things. All are oagerly pressing forward to brighter prospects which may prove equally illusory. All are pursuing Uie phantom of hope, eager to embrace that which in its best fruition is but disappointment and vanity! And such is human life. We go bustling and elbowing our way tiirough its busy scenes, trom hope to disappointment, and frwn disappointment to fresh hopes again. It is but Uiat spirit of divinity within us1 which saves in from despair amid the oft detected fallacies of our best laid schemes of happiness. It is our best wisdom not to hope too much as the result of our own poor efforts, and yet not wholly to despair of compassing some good. To cherish in us that spark of immortality which prompts to action ; but act as if our best judgments need to be re-judged. TALL RYE TALLEST. Many of our contemporaries have been bragging of tall rye raised by farmers in their roscctivu vicinities but if they want to boo thz tnHeitt, let them look Uiis way.

For neatness of execution, and convenient arrangement of matter, it surpasses any publication of the kind that has fallen under our observation.

Tho following jmff direct to Springfield, (which we know is a very clever place iu its way,) has been pluced in our bunds with a request for its insertion in the Journal.

PROSPECTS OF OCR CITY. Notwithstanding the depreciation of the currency, and the pressure of thn times, Springfield continues lo improve. About one hundred buildings went up lout year, and among them some heautiltil and costly stores occupied by Mr. Griiuslcy, and Messrs.

TYLER. The opinion is gaining ground, that a tariff bill for pro'ection, as well as revenue, with a provision for diKtributinfr the proceeds of Uio public lands, will be met with the President's veto. In this condition of the public feeling, wo have Uinught it best to recur to Air. Tyler's sentiments upon tho subject as expressed during the campaign of 18-10, The following is nn extract of a letter from Mr. Tyler, addressed to V. Robinson, Jr., of Pittsburgh, dated the 17th October, 1&10. " My opinions were fully expressed at St Claiw-ville and at Stcuhrnville. At both places, in regard to the question, What aro your opinions as to tho Tariff? I answered that I was in fuvorof sustaining, the Compromise Bill. That it contained the principle of retro-action, Uie moment the duty attained itn minimum, which forced up tho protection to instanti, to wind iprs ttjuivtdtnt to 40 per cent. That Ui change which it ell'eclcd iu the plan of valuation, and the mode of payment, was fully equal in my view V or 30 per cent; and lhat with a cessation of Urn war upon the currency which had paralyzed Uie industry of tho Country, I was sanguine in ttie hopo tnd the belief, that prosperity would be speedily restore . That in connection with this, I would take occnaio.i to say th.it 1 was in favor of Uio distribution of U o proceeds of tho sale of the public lands among U e States, and in favor of mining tho revenue by otitic on imports, in opjwsition to a resort to a system of direct taxation, as every way onerous to the peoph , unproductive to tho treasury and expensive in thn collection. That in tliene views 1 was pleased t believe that I concurred with Mr. Clay and Generl Harrison, so that thero existed a prospect, in the event of Gen. Harrison's election, that a permanent systuu would bo introduced in place of a fleeting and evrr-yarying syatem, which promises one Uiing to-day anl produces another to-morrow.

JEFFERSON ON THE TARIFF. We recomrrend the following opinions of Jefef- ion to the JelTersonian Uemocrata," many of whom appear to have lost sight of a cardinal principle ct his faith. What has our friend of the Blairsxillu Record to say to them? In a letter to iSentaimn Austin, written in leflo an l published in Nile1 Register, he say at " Compare tho present state of things with Uiat ol 'rtf. and sav whother an opinion founded in the cir cumstances of Uiat day can be fairly applied to U:oa of the present We have experienced what we then did not believe, that there exists both profligacy and power to exclude us from lho field of iiiterchango with other nations that to be independent lor uio comforts of life wo must fabricate them ouraeh o. Wo must now place the manufacturer by the side of the agriculturist. The former question is suppressed, or r.tther assumed a now form.

Experience has taught me that manuiic-tures are now as necessary to our independence m tn our comfort and if Uiose who quote me aa of a different opinion, will keep pace with me in purclmsiii nothing foreign, where an equivalent of domctio fabric can be obtained, without regard tn any difference of price, it will not be our fault if we du not havo a supply at home equal to our demand, and wreat Uiat weapon of distrowa from the hand Uiat had so long wantonly violated it." Airam, in a letter written to Wm. Rimpsin, Esq , in 1HI7, and published in Nilea, Register, hearty: I hivo read with great satisfaction the elo pirnl pamphlet you were so kind aa to send me, and kviii-pnthiae with every line of it; I waa once a doubter whether the lahor of Uie cultivator, aided by thn creative power of the earth itself, could not produco more than that of tho manufacturer alone and linns-ited by tho dead subjoct on which he artel; in other words whether the more we could brine; into action of the eneririos of our boundless territory in addition to Uie labor of ourcitiiena, the more would he our gain. But the invention of the later tnm c, by labor saving machines, do now as much for (I u manufacturer aa Uie earth for the cultivator. Ex perience too haa proved Uiat mine waa but half tho question, the other half ia wheUior dollars and ccntu are to be weighed in the scale against real indepen dence, the question is then solved, at least as far as respects our wants. I much fear tho effects on our infant establish ment of the policy avowed bv Mr, Brougham and quoted in Uie pamphlet individual British mer chants may lone by tho late immentio iuqiortat ions, out nrniNii commerce ami manufactures in tho maa will gain by beating down the competition of ours in our own market."
