CONGRESS.
IN SENATE—Decbjibsb 29.
The Senate wa3 in session but a lew minutes,
,nd after sorne Private business, adjourned.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Sundry unimportant resolutions were offered,
memorials presented, &c.; after which, the bill
plating the pay of the officers of the Navy
of the United States was taken up.
Nearly all the amendments of the Committee
of the Whole House were concurred in; among
the few rejected was the section relative to
Pciwess. The subject of the pay and perqui
to this class of officers gave rise to an ani
goted debate, in which Mr. YVatmough of Pa.,
yr Wise of Va., and others participated. In
{!* course of the remarks made by Mr. Wise,
lie stated the almost incredible fact, that the
pursers in our Navy were better paid than al
most any officer of the Government, civil or
military; that a Purser of a line of battle ship in
y arMl perquisites, received the enormous sum
of $1 t.UOO per annum, and in a cruize of three
years made a clear profit of from 30 to 840.000.
Without netting through with the details of
bill, the Mouse adjourned._
VIRGINIA DELINQUENT LAND LAW.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE ALEXANDRIA GAZETTE.
The Delinquent Land Law of Virginia, pass
ed the 10th March 1S32, is as gross a violation
0f the Right of Property in a citizen as ever
coaid have been conceived by the most despotic
tvrant. Bv this law, the Sheriff is empowered
^ ^11 a man’s land without even knowing
there it K and w hen at the very time it is te
nanted with one hundred times more property
on it than would pay the taxes.—(See brick
j^use and lot sold for 67 cents, occupied by a
j^rge family always willing fo pay the taxes.)—
Others could be mentioned. He makes no ad
vertisement in the papers which circulate in the
vicinity, so that non-residents might see to their
property. He goes on to sell, for the taXCs aionej
viz any person who will pay the tax, perhaps on
ly 50 cents, may have A. B.’s tract of land, con
taining 100 acres: A. B., perhaps, is in the Ar
mv or Navy—has not been at home for many
ytars; when he comes, he finds his only hope
■oie for a song:—he has lost his property,
trough the injustice of the State, by reason cf
the time he was absent in its defence.
The operation of this law will cause endless
litigation, and, in many instances, t»lood>hed
and strife: for, what individual could restrain
himself under such a wrong? To see his pro
perty, by the rapacity of his government, and
ignorance and neglect of its agents taken from
him on false pretences! I for one, sir, w ould
nullify such a law as unjust, oppressive, despot
ic, and unconstitutional, at all risks. The 5th j
art^Amendments Constitution U. States; gua- |
ranters the right of property, thus: “ Private
property shall not be taken for public use with- ;
out just compensation.” Here is a plain, direct,
and positive prohibition by the Constitution, anti
yet it is violated w ith impunity. Put what con
duction on it you will, the law is unjust. Why i
not suffer the taxes to go on—and if no ow ner ,
comes for the land in twenty years, let if be cs
tktaltd and sold. Besides, no real benefit re
sults to the State of Virginia from the operation
of this law; the expense of an office, with a
sufficiency of clerks at high salaries, in Rich
mond, with stationary and other incidental ex
penses. will take every dollar of this ill-gotten
revenue 1 will close this communication by
declaring my serious conviction, that no go
vernment ever devised a more complete system
of unjust taxation, or, rather, of legal robbery.

THEATRE. |
THE Howard Dramatic Society beg leave
respectfully to inform the public, thut, in
consequence of the severity of the present sea
son, they are induced to step forward again in
the cause of Charity; and it is hoped that no
farther incitement is needed than one moment’s
reflection. While the less needy are comforta
bly seated at their own firesides, the generous
heart must sicken at thought of how many un
fortunates must be in want of even a few sticks
of wood to keep, perhaps, the child of its pa
rent’s bosom from absolute freezing. It is not
the intention of these remarks, to assail the cha
rity of the citizens. There is, perhaps, as much
of it practised within this corporation as any
other of the size. But. every cord of wood is
now, especially, valuable; and it is hoped that
the charity of the motive will be received to sup
ply the deficiency of talent. The money thus
| raised will be deposited in the hands of the
! Mayor for distribution: and, as the expenses are
i considerable, it is hoped that humanity will not,
on the present occasion, suffer the Society again
to become losers. i
