I to show whether it would jollify this • haun ter
I hy opposing a measure coming to it from the
i • nitfe*st d democratic hrnneh ; hr asked them to
'ally round then own principles and oppose the
linking out. Hut, hy wav of compromise, he
proposed the adoption of the land lull, Ac,—
Hr concluded hy demanding thevcasnnd n*y«
Mr. Hiii Inn an avowed his purpose to vote for
the amendment, (lo stnke out.) aliiioijoh he had
buppoittwl lire distribution hill of Iasi session ; —
and wt nt into n discussion to show from the
great difference of circumslanrcs nt ilmf lime and
(litthat there was no inr onsMcmy as to prin
ciple in s*ijc|» a cour-e li was now loin 11 v un
certain \\ liethei there would beany surplus in
Jamiaiy n« xt : Ins own impression was that, nf
f»*r d* ducting five m limns, there would be litilc*
if anv sniplus lefr. Hut Ins objection to the
present bill was this, that it made the extreme
medicine of the commonwealth its daily food —
its familiar and settled policy. Such a policy
w ould produce in the members of Congress a
hostility to expenditures by the General Go
vernment, since thereby the dividend of their(
own Slates would he to that extent diminished,
lit was sorry the Senator from Kentucky (Mr.
< lay) would nut consent to wait till the next
se , omi, and then if a surplu< should accrue, his
laud bill would rome up under fu ller auspices.
Mr. R. would vastly prefer that bill to a system
of annual distribution of tin* surplus in the Trea
sury.
Mr. Fines explained, in reply to Mr Clay,
that his remark', ns to the aristocratic domic
icr of the Senate, had no inference in the indi
vidual character ol its members, but to the con*
dilution of the entire body, in its collective rn
pacify, ns farthest removed from an expiession
of the popular will.
A * lo the appeal of the Senator to the mnjoritv
of the Senate to exhibit a deference to the will
ol the I’» ople, as expressed by a vote of the oth
er If' use, it would have had more weight had it
been seconded hy tins example of tin* Senator
him->cIf. Mr. K. then alluded to the stern r* j *
lion of tin? three million appropriation for forti
fication*-, which had been piopo-ed l.y the llou.e
ol Representatives on a former memorable oc
casion. The Senate was now committed before
the world to a system of policy, and there was
not flu1 siijhte ? iucoriiisipncy if, in n.lliereiicr
to that political policy,it rcjei led n men^nte w Inch
was fuunde I on a policy direi ily the reverse
of this. Mr. R. adverted, as Mr. Ruclmiun had
done, 10 the different * ireuiinlauees in whu h ihc
Set sit had been placed nf the h't session as a
sufficient reason why he had advocated n simi (
tar measure, at that lime, to that which lit* should
now oppose.
Mr. Preston bavin? referred to some remarks'
of Mr. Rives, urged tli.it Ongress oU^bt to re
gard it a1* an indnpensible duty to save the ino
ncv if not for t'eir eonstitue tlb.it the
Government ought tube not ri idly parMinoni
nu , but strictly eeonomic.il ; and that one ol
the best mean* of making tin in economical, was
5o stimulate the People to scrutinize the objects
and the nrinnci of their expenditures. The cJ is- 1
ar.<uilion of all necessary surplus revenue, he
Tiaintamcd, would have this tendency. IJ e eon-!
trusted a distribution of the surplus, nnn |
wasteful experidiuire, in order to prevent its nc |
cumulation ;and instead of admitting that lhc*c
two correctives of a necessary evil were equally
salutary, he maintained that a prodigal expen
dilute of the revenue fur such a purpose was the
worst possible* and most dangerous of all expe
clients, lie insisted that, to reduce the action
ol the Government within its proper and legiti*!
mate sphere wns much more important than to
reduce the revenue, or prevent or dispose of a
surplus. He luithcr maintain’d that, il there
should be no surplus, a contingent provision
for it' distribution would at least he totally
i harmless, when with a surplus the re would he
much ev'I in the want of such a provision.
• Mr. Cuthherr. in reply to Mr. Preston, argu
ed that . distribution of the surplus would lead
to great and unnecessary taxation ; and that tin
! States, as a consequence, would either get and
| exercise tlie power to control the Government a*
r» machine to make and dispense donations it*

TEXAS.
In the Senate mi tin- |-t mat, Mr. I/alker rail
ed tip Ilia reudutl'in lor the recognition ol the in
dependence of Terms, on w Inch a debate of iitacli
inlercl arose. Mr. YViilher advocated liij reso
lution hy a speech of much earnestness, in which
he pressid the claims ol Texas for recognition
with much devoted ardor.
lie was followed hy M Preston, on the same
sole, who tvent into an call n*rve review of ilia
hi-tury td Mexico, from llie period of her tecog
nition In ourown (internment to the present time,
wlrenre he deduced the ni airmen I lli.it she never
had, in fact, exerei-ed rontrol over Texas, and
was in no contli ton now to enforce lo r claims of
sovereignty, lie ihen went inton similar review
td the history ol Texas past and ptt'jsrif, and
argued to show that she was lolly capable of
performing lire du'ies, and su-taming ih« re
'tiunsihilities, hotli ..a.tie and f ireign, which
belong in an iiitlcpentleut Government.
Mi. Norvell. alter n fetv introiluctoiy remarks,
offered mi amendment to Mr. Million's resolu
tion, making It eoiidilnin'iI, on the President's
having satisfactory evidence I fra t Texas was
capable of sustaining her independence, and as
suming the r espon-ilnlriy ol loreign relations.
Mr Walker objected to the amendment, as
not advancing the Texan rau-e In yond the point
at tt lie li H -luod last session.
Mr. Calhoun also nppo ed the amendment
and spoke for a hoit lime in sup| ort of Mr.
Walker’s resolution.
Mr ( lav inquired whether the resolution was
intended to be followed up by any, and « hat,
legislative action. Me objected to llie resolution
as covering not only the Ifgislntive hut also (he
executive function ol the Government, Tho’
he should prefer that the question should lie o
V. r a Title longer, yet, if the question were put
to him in any shape in winch, as a lee is
lator, lie was called to give an allirmatitre or oe
gative vote, he should, in conformity with li a
principles on which lie had always acted in re
ference to the South American States, give an
affirmative answer. Dut there would not Ihen re
main helimd the grave and important questioned
annexation ; on which he wuultl a! present ex
press no opinion. They wrre entirely distinct
questions ; and a vote on the one would not
commit aev man nn the o her. As the question
would come up, however, on the appropriation
hill Irorn the House, he should prelcr, it agreed
to hy the mover, to move at prest ut that it be laid
upon llie table.
Mr. Walker said that there would be no in
consistent y in adopting his resolution, and then
voting on the item in the appropriation bill.—
The latter was contingent in its character, but
11,i-i resolution gave a positive expression of the
opinion of the Senate. He contended fot the
' piiipiicy of such an expression of opinion, and
acainst ca-ting the whole burden of responsi
bility on 'he Executive.
Mr. Buchanan, after expressing his best wish

hope of i'i contended that Ibis was not the mo
