The Espublicaa membsrs ti are anxious that the public business be pushed forward to completion before the close ot the ses- g nion—they have exbansted every means within jj es their power to aocomplish that end—but the ma- Tool Jority are inflexible in their opposition to it.

It condemns tbe claim as unfounded, hii find the action of tbe State Trustee in payiog-it tc us unwise and injudicious, Tbe uncertainty of &n legislative action was never more clearly demon, wl etrated than in this matter. A report presented ap to the Senate in XBlt, by Michael Ryan, a Com. U( missioner at that time, in which his extraordi- th nary services to tbe State, in effecting tbe loan pi oi tI.G'JO.GuO, were recited in megniQcent phrase, was the bssis of tbe Committee's no tion ; agd no amount oi persuasion could make K tbem go behind it. Jt was urged by Mr. Bay Ti that there was wide discrepancy between Ryan's b< report and Capt. Swift's protest—(tbe former L fltutiog the amount negotiated by himself at *1,400,000, and tbe latter s64o,ooo)—that Byan, ct «{ter making that report, refused to return 4o Ti England, «o well satished was be that he could lr not succeed; that be besought tbe services of Mr. Leavitt, promising any compensation that ol he might demand; that Mr. Leavitt went; that A while a bondholder ot only $16,000 of bonds, e: be subscribsd $92,060 to the loan; that be guar anteed in addition to that the entire American C subscription amounting to SIBO,OOO, upon tbe tl demand of the foreign bondholders, without g which they would not bave come to his terms; that tbe payments made ou account ot the loan to Baring Brothers & Co. and others were jnst c About in proportion to tbe amount demanded by Mr. Leavitt, for his share in the negotiation, fi and subsequent guarantee and advances; * that to Mr. Leavitt's zeal and ability ' tbe completion of the Canal was dae; end that, barring a paltry sum for person al expenses, be had never baea paid. Tbese 1 facts were allowed to weigh nothing. lodeed * they were not presented to tbs Committee, until * tbe report, of which the one presented is a mod- ; ideation, bod been prepared for more than a 1 week! While the State Trustee was watting an 1 opportunity to present bis esse and justify him- * sell; tbe report in which he was violently as. * sailed, was so pnblicly banded about that the readers of tbe Chicago Jinu* were informed by 1 its Springfield correspondent of tbe pointed cen- 1 cures that it contained. The minority of tbe ' committee opplied themselves to remove the ' unjust aspersions upon tbe State Trustee, and ' Alter having reduced tbe animadversions to ex pressions.Of opinion that Mr. Ray bad been " unwise and irjadicions," signed the paper end sent it to the House. Tbe opinion of the State Trustee is not altered by the committee's action. When the eminent commercial and' le gal gentlemen to whom tbe ease is referred by ihe Supreme Court of Masischnsetts, decide that the State of Illinois owes Mr. Leavitt noth. Ing for his services; rendered at a period when she had no friends,—then he will admit that he has committed a serious error. He waits his justification in their verdict _ SisoAJto*. f3T" Tbe Democracy of Wisconrin have is sued a call for s Stats Convention in Madison, on Thursday, tbe Sd day of March next, for the purpoae of nominating a candidate Cor Aaaociate Justice ol the Supreme Court.

It is also be lleved, and 1 think known, that Forney mads fight against tbe resolution *0 which tbe partic ular friends of Sir. Douglas came, viz t to sub mit his name to the Charleston Convention and abide by tbe result. Mr. Forney has been al together too much in earoest in his war upon the Administration, in defence of tbe liberty of freemen in all tbe States, to consent to make friends with tbe bitter politicians who intend secretly to strike him down tbe moment be re turns to the party. Mr. Douglas knows that Forney cannpt rejoin the Democratic party, but thinks Ac himself.can do it, aod it hae always been characteristic of the man to throw over board those ot his political friends who are no longer of any use to bim.

Lapiae ASD GaaTLsxav: On thia festive ocoa- ho sion, when tbe eona and daughters of New York are assembled to celebrate tha Tenth Anniver- j aary of the Chisago Excelsior Society, in honor ot the State of #ew York, it may not be un pleasant to stop for a moment to pay oar grate- lul homage to, and look back upon, its hills and clc vallejs, where we.atrayed io oar childhood, where yoar eyes flrat beheld tbe wonders of ere* io &tion, and your hearts lirat felt the sweet aenae Bi of existence; to listen again to the sweet warb- Ct ling of birds.to pl&j over again your sports and mt gambols, to climb tne bills in search of honey thi suckles ana wild flowers, to renew tbe memory nn of earlier years und bsppier days, when it was ao wisdom to pursue with esgerness the pbantoma as of hope, and listen with credulity to the wbis- tio psra of taacy. In those happy days of youth, thi ere life, bad lost its romance, we have walked o'er velvet lawnß with lair maidens in their thi bloom,and recited to loving hearts the poetrr ot sal innocence aod.truth. Who can forget, wbo has en .fprgoVten,~tbe < hour and tbe place in his native bo : State 'where the rapturous feeling first dawned th bis mind that earth was an Elysium, to where tbe flowers ever blosomed, the maidens ap ( were ever beanlifol, end the voice of the night- ab ingale never was mute. Let us rtjoioe together tbat New York is onr native pUce, and that when far away in distant lands, its magnificent scenery, its imperial greatnesf, its m'elodioae < groves, and sweetly flowing rivers, will console and gladden as. May onr tindred with it ever be our boast ond onr pride where'er we roam, 1 whatever realms to see, till we take our final er] leave in love's last adieu. llat to return to the enamored toast ot Wo- * man. " Her praises are sang by loftier harps than mine." Her virtaes'aoa her goodness are , so incomprehensible, so illimitable, that no tongue can tall, no pencil delineate her incom parable excellence. In the warm and eenial heart ' of a noble and intelligent woman all the virtues Jo] 1 scd charities of life are concentrated. It is in dn the heart of lovelv woman we obtain our belief q that tbe world is built on blessings. It is there \ that tbe votary of love and wisdom will find an earthly Paradise, where life is a continued en- hid cbamuiest, wbere tbe hours move oo roseate "i, wings and every otjeet is ticged with tbe hues of heaven. Io her refined and elegant society ' tbe tru6 gentleman is lound; it is tbere be learns Be tbe art of poliicneßS—to be noble, jast, and ma generous, and to love and appreciate the beauty ' and grace of female loveliness. It is tbere the character of men is spiritualized and exalted, en: and redeemed from sordid meanness and low no desires. Woman's love is tbe star that guides man in his aspirations to be good, to be piona, to be great aod glorious. It was the love of Josephine tbat developed the splendid combina* tiocs of genias displayed by Napoleon in his Italian campaigns. It was tbe love'and forti tude of Martha that sustained Gen. Washing- I | ton through the gloomy period of the Bevolu- e ® tionary war, uutil i s triampbant termination mi | crowned him asthegreatestandtbebestofmen. j A perennial virtue shines in tbe sweet face j and eyes of a warm-hearted, pious and noble I maiden—pure and beantifal as the orient blush- p I es of the morn. Bhe has a sacred pride of j character that guides and protects her in all her I intercourse with men, untouched by tbat famt- . | liaritr, that robs the rose of of its perfume and I chastity of its sanctity; whose high aod lofty I virtue is as pure in conduct, look and deport- . p I ment, os the star which shines in beauty in the ** J evening sky. r It is tbe divine passion of love which gives to j the hours of courtship the cuarm of encbsot- Isi ment. He makes the earth more beautiful, the aa I sun more brilliant, tbe fair maiden an angel of W 1 light. His sky is ever clear, bis bower is ever of I green. There is no sorrow io his heart, no win- co j ter in his year. He paints tbe lily, and adds wl I color to tbe rainbow. Trnelove-incomprehen- te I Bible love—in tbe heart of a pious' woman, is wi I tbe chain that connects heaven with earth. It I is ot Divine origin, and is the tie which binds I men to iiia Heavenly Father, aod holds him to IS j Hisltbrooe. In tbe garden of ber fair mind, <t< | the bowers of iove are kissed by tbe dewy tubrni Tbere tbey have perpetual bloom, on which oo I shadow rests; aud according to the beautiful j fable, *' the angels dwell in the summer of her beau." h I Uchappy is tbe woman and the man who I blmdly sutlow mere sensual pleasure an the enc) ]- ana object of their beio£. Tbeso'pleasure's afe j tbe phantom ol a day, -which .please for a mo- I ment and are gone, never to return, leaving be- I hind tbem tbe unsatisfying desire which drew j from King Solomon tbe melancholy lamenta- I tion, 41 Vanity of vanities, all is'iranity.l l I In lbs hr&t stages of wedded life, when the I homy mom 19 in tbe ascendant, shedding her 81 I delicious ecctuotment o'er the hearts acd eyes I of the happy pair, all that is harsh and discord- I ant is mellowed down; and all they behold is [in haruibnjr with lueujgelvja. Thea visa Ii I ond desire is' anticip'ated, every snffering deli cately consoled. Their hearts are blended as I oue heart. d | And.may not ihe rapturons enchanttqeat ot | poiirtQhip ani the lonty tnoan bo continued g { through all tbe stages ot married life? Yes, I all this is in the power of husband and wife, I provided tbey act lovingly and wisely, aod with ] a knowledge ot tbe true nature of lore. Tbey I must make marriage ooe continued courUhip~ I one continued honey-mom,—where the husband I and wife never grow old ; where their early, -i j passionate love grows brighter aod porer as J the'dajs multiply and tbe years go by. Aod tb|a I paradise in married life can be created only on I one condition. Tbe busb&nd and wife after I iniirruge, must cctively continue to covrt each | otf'.er, aod uractice towards eacb other tfie } unselUsbbess, tbe samp aa|ly>pts of praise aud I Jciodoegs; the Sdtuc daily manifestatioos of re- I spect and esteem.

Bigler'a resolution, that a large public debt ia inconsistent with tbe true pohcj of the country, hi and that Congress should proceed withoutdelaj th to adjost the revenue and expenditures. fQ Mr.'Toombs proceeded to reply to Mr. Big ler's speech of yesterday, and went over it see- 01 tion by section. After showing that tbe first w paragraph of the resolution expressed a truism t that it is inexpedient in time of peace to incur a large public debt—the trniam, however, depend- 111 ing on whether tbe debt be of casual or perrna- Ti nent deficiency—and that the section assumed this deficiency to be inevitable and fixed aa tbe laws of the Medes and Persians, Mr. Toombs proceeded to demonstrate that it is not only _ avoidable, bnt ought to be avoided; tbat there L( is not only no necessity to keep the expenditures g. at tbeir preaent standaid, but that the present tariff ia ample to meet the just and proper expenses of this Government The Secretary of the Treasury, estimates for tbefiva years prior to 1857, abow a revenue A> exceeding the expenditures, tiading tbat tbere re was a revenue of with an expendi- fo ture of H5,000,000. Tbe tariff waa reduced without party discusaion— South Carolina and Massachusetts, tbe extremes of sectionalism, uniting to do iL Jle did not prooose by his vote on the tariff of 1657 to cripple any branch ot the publio service and he did qot propose it now. Tbe country is able to bear any amount of legitimate business, but he did propose to re quire that the government aball canfine itself to its legitimate service, not Jor tbe mere rea- " son of cprtailins the expense, but for tbe better U< object of avoiding corruption and of making S tb« country great and able for future action, either in peace or war. We have no extraordi nary occasion, no ware except with Indians, __ which we always hare; bence, tbere is no occasion for increased expenditures to exist. . 1 The tariff wa« jut on with ihe deliberate cooler- " atfoaoi'ihe Government and people, and it tiaa _ done what it was expected to do, iioUUbst toding r: the temporary fatting off of the rtccipts duriug | the timu ti mercantile depression.

Mr. Toombs spoke further in the Rims strain, afier which the »ul ject was postponed. Mr. Uunter attempted to bring op tbe Coa<mlar and Diplomatic bill, and Mr. tjhdell waa equally ai-iiou* to have ap the Cubin question. A lengthened discussion ensued in which the leacing Republican Senators expressed tbem. selves against taking op the latter, though ready at any time when required to discuss all itabearings. Tbe Cuban bill was finally tsken op, 27 against IS. when Mr. Slideli, by consent, made a'correction of the clause of the bill pro- _ viding for five per cent, bonds payable semi-an nually. f Mr. Dooliitle made some remarks aod offered a substitute appropriating 150,000,000 to enable the President to purchase Yucatan, Central or Cc South America for a territory on which a free negro nation can be located under tbe guarantee of the United States. Adjourned. Hoosb.— I The Speaker laid before the House a reply from tbe Secretary of the Tressny to a re solution asking why the construction of tbe Baltimore Custom House bad been delayed!. He I Bsjß be has postponed the construction of all | authorised public buildings which had not been -* commenced previous to the late revulsion, I owing to tbe insutlicißncj of money in the Trea- {f Bury, and that he will continue on thia rule until so Congress shall provide means to meet the liabil ities, or shall otherwise direct. Mr. Harris of Md., called attention to the tact a that Congress, several years ago, appropriated $200,000 tor the Baltimore Oastpm House with _ nnmista«e»bi« instructions. The reason ussign- / ed by tbe Secretary is untenable, especially as { it is recollected tbat when tbs last Congress ad- u jsarued ther* was $23,000,000 surplus revenue, 0 $5,000,000 of which was, in bis opiotoa, unne* § cessartly applied to tbe redemption of Uovern ment securities, at {>er cent, pre nium. Mr. Phelps of Missouri, justified the reasons given by tbeSeoretary, saying that as no valid g compact had been entered into, tbe execution of e the might properly be extendi to a lur- Z tber time, oonsiderinj* tho eoadition of the £■ Treasnry. Mr. Harris moved to refer tha communica tion to the Committee of Waya and Meeans, with instructions for a bill re-appropriating ( $200,000.

He reports the discovery of gold diggings between the Missouri and Columbia Rivera, io tbe neigh, borhood of Stevens* Pass. The gold is of an inferior quality, being worth only sl4 or sls an ounce, but is said to exist in-great abundance. He brought down $13,000 ia gold tn lumps the size of grains of corn, and says the mines can ba ! approached within a comparatively short dis i tance by ateamboats. He says tbe head watera of the above nsoed rivers are ao near together that be drank from the Missouri on the eastern side of tha moan tains, and In half an hour drank from the Colum bia on the Pacific alope. [A gentleman who travelled with Major Cul bertaon from Fort Pierre to Sioux City, says that if the latter had any such interesting in formation in his possession, be waa very chary y| of giving the benefit of it to othera. It will be well enough to await confirmation of the story, k at least, before starting for the headwaters of •£ the Missouri in search ot gold. Ens. Paias asd Taiarai.] jr Fire at Alton Prison. &t.
