HARBOR BILL.
We referred, a few days ago, to the bad feel
ing which existed in the House of Representa
* tives, and the following abstract of the debate
on the Harbor Bill, on Monday last, will show
something of the spirit which now prevails:
Mr. Clay read from a former report an esti
mation of the sum requisite to effect all the ob
jects already surveyed.
Mr. Beaty reminded him of certain liberal
appropriations for Alabama, and inquired whe
ther he had been equally active in opposing
them?
Mr. Mercer commented with severity upon
the statement made in the report quoted by Mr.
Clay, and denietl that it had ever entered into
the mind of any human being, that all the works
surveyed were to be completed by the General
Government. Many of them were for State ob
jects—others for undertakings of private com
« panics—others had prevented the waste of mo
* ney in impracticable undertakings, and the Go
vernment had engaged in only four of all the
objects surveyed.
Mr. Clay replied, and still insisted that there
were enough works already surveyed to occu
py the Government for the next fifty years.
Mr. Beaty reminded him of the large grants
of public lands to the State of Alabama, and
asked how much of that land had been brought
Mr. Hanneg^n avowed his determination to
vote for laying this biJl on the table, should the
present item be negatived. He also reminded
Mr. Clay, of the grants to Alabama and the ap
propriation for Savannah river.
Mr. Pierce, of New Hampshire, moved the
previous question, but withdrew the motion at
the request of
\Ir. Wayne, who explained on the subject of
Savannah river. •"
Mr. Pierce then renewed his motion for the
previous question, but it was promptly negativ
ed—Ayes 54 Noes 86.
Mr. Dickinson, of Tennessee, insisted that the
”Ote upon this bill was to be viewed as a test
’Ote upon continuing the system of internal im
provements, and invoked the South to support
their principles.
Mr. Mehcer denied that the veto doctrine had
the remotest connection with the present vote.
The President had more than once sanctioned
this very appropriation.
Mr. Wise inquired what amount of money it
would require to complete all the works already
surveyed.
Mr. Mercer repeated in substance his former
explanation.
Mr. Wise complained of this as an evasion
of his inquiry. He did not care if it was the
fag end of the most disgraceful session of Con
gress that had ever been held, he would not
consent that such a bill should pass w ithout an
imadversion. The men of the South had not
stood by their colours, and he now called upon
them to take the constitutional ground for which
they had always contended. He made frequent
allusion to the approaching Presidential con
test, and addressed successively the delegation
of several different States, demanding their
vote in view of that event.
Mr. Clayton addressed the House with much
warmth, threatening nullification, should the
system of Internal Improvements be perseve
red in.
Mr. Beardsley taking Mr. Wise upon his own
ground, that this was to be a test vote on the
1 residential question, called upon all who were
rn favor of the Administration to vote for the
bill, and all opposed to it to vote against it. The
yeas and nays would then show how matters
stood in regard to the next Administration.
Mr. Jones adverted to the sudden change ot
Mr. Beardsley’s course on this bill, as it was
but two days since he voted against it. He ani
madverted on the practice of log-rolling, and
argued to shew that the law of 1824 did not re
quire the present appropriation. He concluded
with some pretty plain allusions to nullification.
Mr. Wise deprecated all tricks upon travel
lers, and protested agairpt this vote being made
a tes$ question as to the Presidency. He had
meant to designate it as a test question only in
reference to the system.of internal improve
ments. The real difficulty in the House had
been, whether the National Republicans or the
New Yorkers should take the responsibility ol
defeating the bill.
Mr. Bynum regretted these sectional allusions,
and hoped the frehds of economy and the Con
stitution, wherever found, would vote againsl
the bill.
Mr. Beardsley replied to Messrs. Wise and
Jones, explaining the grounds of his change o]
opinion, and closed by reminding Mr. Jones thai
a reproach on that subject should, last of all
have come from a gentleman who one day de
clared himself, on personal examination, that a
certain candidate was entitled to a seat in the
House, and the next day brought in a repor
declaring that it was impossible to discover tc
whom the seat belonged.
[This retort produced much sensation anc
great merriment in the House.]
The question was then put on concurring ir
the amendment for surveys, and decided b>
yeas and nays, as follows: yeas 103, nays 87.
The arrival yesterday of the ship Josephine
from Ireland, was quite an unexpected circum
stance. This^ship formerly sustained a high re
putation, and was considered one of the fastes
sailors out of this port. In December, 1832, sh<
was wrecked in Donegal Bay, where she laic
nearly buried in the sand for about fifteei
months, and was considered as totally lost. Ii
a heavy gale and very high tide last spring, the
ship was driven from her bed upon a potat<
field near the beach. In this situation, after be
ing stripped of her copper, she was observe<
by an American captain, who finding that he
frame was sound, purchased her as she lay
and employed workmen at 6d each per day, t<
dig a canal, in which to convey her to sea. Th<
workmen had only just completed this canal
when another high tide fortunately arose, anc
swept the ship into deep water. She was thei
taken to Sligo, repaired, and has safely arrivec
again at her original home.—Mer. rfdv.

< INDIAN CEREMONIES.
[From the New York American.]
Reception of the United States Commissioner by
the Pawnee Indians, October, 2, 1833.
The night previous to our arrival at the Paw
nee Village was spent by us upon the borders of
the Platte River, at about nine miles distance
from the town. During the evening, several
half breeds who had been sent out by the Com
missioner, to gain information of the probable
reception which awaited us, came dropping in,
and all bearing with them promises of a friend
ly welcome from the different Paw’nee Chiefs.
At sunrise the next morning the tents were
struck and placed in the heavy baggage wa
gons; and a more than usual bustle and note of
preparation was heard in the camp, (if two
tents accommodating ten persons deserve^that.
j name.) The soldiers were seated around up
on the grass, examining and preparing their
| arms for service, in case such service might be
: required; and about twenty Otoe Indians, who
j had accompanied us across the praries, a hun
j dred miles from their village, either from mo
tives of curiosity, or from sheer listlessness, car
I ing little where or how they spent their time,
were now busily engaged in ornamenting them
selves for the meeting. Some had spread their
i blankets out upon the prairie, and were anx
iously employed in tracing out various figures
in vermillion upon their woolly surfaces: some
! were eagerly bending-over the small pools of |
still water, which were left in the dry bed of the j
River, painting their faces with the vermillion]
which they had obtained from the whites, and
manifesting all the interest and anxiety in the
choice of ornaments, which in civilized life
might be expected from a young girl in prepar
ing for the first ball. Paint was placed on and
rubbed off; faces were striped first in one di
j rection, then in another; and the advice of
j those who were sitting around was asked and
given with all the gravity befitting so impor
tant an operation. In the meantime, two or
three who had finished their toilets, seated them
selves off at a short distance to serve as mo
I dels for the rest; and several who had acquired
some reputation for their skill in this art, were
! busily engagedin painting up the less gifted of
] their companions. Whilst this was going on in
j one quarter, in another, five or six Indians,
who either had no paint, or cared not about
! the opinion of those whom they intended to vis
| it, had stretched themselves at full length on the
[ grass, and were keeping up ah incessant drnnv
j'ming upon their breasts with their two fists in
j exact time to a chaunt, which they were letting
1 out at the top of their lungs, and which they
i always wound up with a loud yell, by way of
chorus.
But there must be an end of all things, and.
in due time there was an end of the preparations.
The tents were packed; the Indians were pain
ted and striped to resemble any thing but men;
the soldiers had examined their arms; the hors
es were saddled; the oxen were secured before
the heavy baggage wagons, and the party com
menced slowly moving onward towards the
village.
It was a fine sunny morning in October, the
clumps of trees which clustered on the low
banks of the river, the numberless small islands
which dotted the surface of its broad shallow
water, were alive with woodpeckers of every
size and hue, who were darting among the tall
dead trees which overhung the dark and mud
dy stream, and making their trunks resound
with the incessant hammering of their small but
powerful beaks; large flocks of gaily plumed
parroquets whirled screaming past us with a sur
passing velocity, darted like lightning among
the branches of the troes which ski’ted the
banks of the river.
At ten o’clock the party had travelled seve
ral miles across the prairie, aud our vicinity to
the village was becoming more perceptible.
Mounted Indians, who had been sent out to
watch for our approach, were seen here end
there flying across the hills in the direction of
the village, to give notice of the arrival to their
Chiefs. At a distance we could perceive se
veral bands of Indians in pursuit of large droves
of their wild and fiery horses, which they were
urging forward at a headlong speed in the di
rection of the town, and in another quarter, on
the tops of a ridge of small hills, groups of five
or six were standing, intently watching the mo
tions of the party, which, from the jaded state
. of the oxen, were necessarily slow. The sol
diers who had been lazily lounging along across
the prairie, were now called in and formed in a
compact body around the baggage wagons in
case of danger; and an hour more brought us
in sight of the village.
Upon our nearer approach, we could perceive
that the hills which surrounded the place were
black with the living mass of mounted warriors
which swarmed upon their tops to the number
of several thousands, and who now stood si
lently watching the approach of the Mission.
At length a single horseman detached himself
from the mass, and came galloping down the
. hill and over the prairie to meet us. As he ap
proached nearer, the wild free air of the ride;\
aud the ease with which he governed his gigan
tic black horse, could not but raise the thought
that, if the rest of these warriors were of the
same mould, any resistance of our band, how
ever desperate, would have availed but little
, against the attack of these proud rulers of the
prairie.
TT I* . i1 _ A . 1 t * •
upon leaciung ui« puny, nesprung iiuiii ins
horse, and after shaking hands with Mr. E-,
lie gave directions (through the Interpreter,)
that the band should be drawn up in as small a
1 compass as possible, to avoid all contact with
his warriors, and after spending some time in
1 completing his arrangements, he galloped back
and gave the signal to the rest.
In'an instant, the hills were deserted, and the
whole mass of warriors were rushing towards
us across the broad bosom of the prairie. It
was a moment of intense and fearful expecta
tion. On, on, they came, each mad horse with
erect mane and blazing eye, urged forward by
i the bloody spur of an Indian master, and that
master a being who acknowledged no superior
■ but the Great Spirit, and no ruler save his own
1 wild will.
? They had reached within two hundred yards
l of the party, but still the speed of their horses
i was unchecked; the powerful tramp of their
i hoofs rung like thunder upon the sod of the
? prairie, and the wild forms of their riders were
>! still urging them onward towards us, when at a
' signal from the Chief, the band separated to the
1 right and left, and commenced circling around
r the Party, in one dark, dense flood of human
, beings, while the whoops and yells which rung
) shrilly around us, and the furious and menacing
5 manner in which they brandished their bows
, and tomahawks, would have led a person un
* acquainted with their habits to have looked up
i on this reception as any thing but friendly; and
1 there is something in the fierce, shrill scream of
a band of Indian warriors, which rings through
• the brain, and sends the blood curdling backlo
the heart.
i Their ornaments, though wild, were many of
them beautiful: the closely shaven heads of some
were adorned with the plumage of different
birds; others wore an ornament of deer’s hair,
bound up in a form resembling the cone of an
ancient helmet, and a plume of the bald eagle
floated from the long* scalp locks of the princi
pal warriors.
Some few wore necklaces of the claws of the
grizzly bear, which hung down upon their
breasts, and the bodies of some were covered
with buffalo robes, or the skin of the white
wolf; but the most of them wore no cover- i
ing, save a thick coat of paint which they had
profusely smeared over their bodies and arms,
and which many had even bestowed upon
the heads and limbs of their horses. After
dashing around us for some time, the chief wav- j
ed his hand, and the turmoil ceased: the war-1
riors sprung from their horses, and seating
themselves around in a large circle, awaited
the arrival of the Chief of the Grand Pawnees,
who in a few moments advanced to meet Mr.
E-, accompanied by the different chiefs of
Tappaye Pawnee, Pawnee Republican, and
Pawnee Loup villages
He was a‘tall powerful Indian; a fillet made
from the skin of the grizly bear, and ornament
ed with feathers, was bound around his head:
over his shoulders was thrown a large mantle,
made from the skin of the white wolf, also adorn
ed with feathers: his legs were cased in black
leggings of dressed buffalo hide, worked with
beads, and fringed with long locks of human
hair,'which he had taken from the scalps of those
who had fallen beneath his arms in his various
war expeditions, and which now hung down
over his knees, and trailed upon the ground as
he strode up to the party.
He first advanced and welcomed Mr. E., and
afterwards the rest. The chiefs of the three dif
ferent villages were then introduced, and re
peated the words of welcome uttered by the first.
This ceremony was scarcely finished, when a
movement was observed among the crowd, and
in a moment after, a powerful roan horse, moun
ted by an armed Indian, bounded forward to
the middle of the circle, where the rider sprung
from his back. He was a stranger among the
tribe, and spoke not their language;* aCuyway
Indian, from the borders of Mexico—a member
of those wild tribes, the Arabs of the West, who
are continually on the wing, sweeping those im
mense plains, and carrying destruction to all
who are not strong enough to resist them, hav
ing no home but the prairie, no trade but war,
no property save the horse that bears them, the
arms which they wield, and the plunder which
they strip from their victims. After pausing
and looking around him for a moment, witn a
glance that seemed to challenge any opposition
from the assembled warriors, he walked up to
Mr. E. He was a slight and beautifully formed
Indian, but there was a fire in his eye, a swell of
the nostril, and a proud curve of the lip, which
showed a spirit that brooked no opposition,
shunned no danger, and which could only be
quenched by the cjiill of the grave.
His long black hair, which trailed behind bh.i
upon the ground, was platted together, and or
namented with about twenty plates of massiv
silver; a band of silver was fastened around hie
throat, and several large medals ot the same me
tal hung down upon his breast; upon his arms
were several bands of silver, and rings of tuv
same upon his fingers; his leggings, though more
finely wrought, like those of the other chiefs,
were fringed with scalps; and a scalp, consist
ing of the entire upper part of a human head,
hung from the bit of his fiery horse,
i Upon coming up, he offered his nano to Mr.
E-, and in succession to the rest; and af*ev
pausing and gazing upon us for a short tine,
with some curiosity, he sprung upon hip horse,
nnd riding through the circle, was lost behind
the more distant crowd of warriors.
After tilt introduction of the various Chiefs
had been performed, from among the mass Oi
grim beings which hemmed us in, and who were
now seated upon the ground like so many d ir.’:
forms of statuary, without voice and withou
motion, several arose, and coming towards Mr.
E-, and Major D-, the United Stater'
Agent for the Pawnee Indians, extended the
stem of their pipes to the lips of each, and in
stantly retiring, resumed their station in the
crowd. By this action, we afterwards lerrnec,
that each had pledged himself to present a horse
to the person to whom lie luid extended bis
pipe. In the meanwhile, two old men, who had
assembled with the rest, and had no horses to
lose by the free indulgence of liberal feelings,
rose up, and by loud and vehement harangues
endeavored to excite the liberality of the rest by
boasting of the number they would besto\ , if
they hut hod them, and recounting the acts of
generosity which they had performed in thei.
youth, and which, as that youth ran far bad*
beyond the memory of the oldest inhabitant,
there was but little possibility of contradicting.
ivfter they had finished, the Wild Hors', (I
do not recollect his Indian name) the principal
warrior of the nation, stood up and harangued
die assembled multitude, launching out i:i .
long panegyric upon the whites, which was de
livered with a warmth of expression no doub„
greatly increased by the sight of the T'Tegons
loaded with presents, which accompanied the
party, and which are always necessary to the
successful accomplishment of an Tnoian * ja
tv.
This warrior was one oi ihe ino^t singular,
as well as ferocious of the tri’oo; and many were
the tales of his war expeditions, afterwards re
lated to us by the trappers, when we assembled
around our night fires after a long day’s tra
vel across the prairies. His height could have
been but little short of seven feet, and every
limb of his frame was proportioned in size and
strength to his giant height. Unlike the rest of
his tribe, his hair remained unshaven, and hung
in long tangled locks which reached nearly to
his waist, and were profusely smeared with red
ochre. His low retreating forehead was almost
buried in wrinkles; and deep set in his head
were two eyes which glowed like living coals.
His nose was large and prominent, and the size
of an enormous mouth was not at all diminish
ed by two streaks of Vermillion which he had
drawn from each corner to his cars. He wore
neither covering nor ornament, unless the pro
fusion of black clay and red ochre which co
vered his body, deserved that name; but he
stood out in his naked proportions, a giant a
mong those who surrounded him, whilst the
wild energy of his gesticulation as he delivered
his harangue, served to show the prodigious
strength which lay hidden in that form, and
which only required an occasion to bring into
' \
* We afterwards learned that this Indian had
become attached to a young girl of his own
tribe, who was the wife of another, but her hus
band having started upon some expedition she
had taken advantage of his absence to leave her
her nation with her lover, and fled together the
to the Pawnee village wich tiiey had reached a
week previous to our arrival. We were after
wards so fortunate as to see the girl, and it was
admitted by all that she was one of the most
elegant Indian women they had ever beheld, and
that her beauty went far in extenuation of the
act of her Indian lover,
uction. Prom his youth upward, tie had been
the leading warrior of the nation, and his deeds
had spread a terror of his name through all the
hostile tribes. Though no chief, his influence
with the nation was equal to theirs, rendering
him as much an object of jealousy to them as
of dread to their enemies.
When he had finished his address, the Chief
arose and spoke to his men; after which, the cir
cle opened and forming into two lines, one on
each side, prepared to escort the party into the
village. I*
But few persons, probably, are aware of the '
brevity of the marriage ceremony in the Scot- !
tish law. Lord Chancellor Brougham, in de- '
ploring this circumstance, said, in the House of
Lords, that a youth of fourteen, whatever his
rank or fortune might be, could thus throw him
self away by merely asking a female, “ Will you
accept of me as a husband?” and she replying '
“ Yes.” The marriage was complete! This i
would be a dangerous provision where divorces
are so easily procured as in New Jersey and
Ohio.—New York Star.
Extract of a letter from a mercantile house in
Birmingham, England, dated May 17, 1831. |
“ The distress existing in the United States is
beginning to be seriously felt even here. Re- j
mittances naturally come in but slowly, and the j
scarcity of money, which so grievously affects
the interests of our friends in America, begins j
to extend its effects to every manufacturingdis- (
trict in Englaud. A few orders, it is true, have
recently somewhat enlivened the market, but we j
feel convinced the change is deceptive, and can-1
not be permanent, until the distress, occasioned
by the measures of your President, or by what
ever other cause political opinion may assign, !
is alleviated in the United States.”
Coincidence.—The 20th of May—the day on
which Gen. Lafayette expired—is somewhat
marked in Chronological history. On that
date of the month, Americas Vespuccius sail- '
ed on his first voyage of discovery, and tha* j
date of the month, witnessed the mortal ago- '
nies of Christopher Columbus.
On the 20th of May, General Lafayette, with
an inferior force, baffled the British General, j
Grant, who, at the head of 7,500 men, attempt- i
ed to surprise the Marquis, at Barren hill. La- !
fayett’s retreat on that occasion, was pronounc
ed to be a masterly military manouvre.
It was on the 20th of May, at a later period,
that Lafayette’s hopes of a free French repub
lic, experienced a total destruction, in the cere
monia where Napolean Bonaparte was declared
Emperor.
These coincidences may appear souewhalt ri
vial, but they are curious, and worthy of a pcc
sing notice.—Albany. Dai. Adw

THURSDAY MORNING, JUNE 20.183}
REJECTION OF MESSRS. STEVENSON
AND TANEY.
The Senate spent several hours on Wednes
day in the consideration of Executive business
In the course of the sitting, the nomination o4
Andrew Stevenson, as Minister to England, unc
of Roger B. Taney, as Secretary of the Treasi
ry, were rejected; and the nomination of
jam in F. Butler, as Attorney General, wascoi
firmed. We are able only to state now that tf
vote on the nomination of Mr. Stevenson w
Ayes 22, Noes 23; and the vote oil the nomin,
tion of Mr. Taney, Ayes 18, Noes 28. The v
mi nation of Mr. Butler was confirmed with''-’
a division.
The rejection of Mr. Taney was expect
a matter of course. His action in the re:rc
of the Deposited, and the shallow reasons \/ V
he gave for that course, made it necessarv
condemn him by this negative vote of :cr
It was also necessary that the contumely
ed to the Senate by the President, in withnob
ing his nomination until this late period, she.
be rebuked. The Globe complains bitter!. n
