Halation, I daresay it has always existed; indi viduals connected with the Government are al ways engaged in electioneering projects and I whl tell you, sir, what I would do; I would pro scribe evey one of them; whether they were for or against my political party or principles, I would strike them ail from the roll; this is my ,iew on that subject. The officers of the Go vernment are indeed entitled to the right of suf f-a^e; but when they are attached to party, and love it more than they do their country, they should go out of their employment; that is my opinion; and although I am glad to see it acted on to the fullest extent, I will assign my reasons;; when I see an office holder not thinking of the public at larg^but of his own office and his own bread, whenefftr an officer holder shall try to j interfere with your electional privilege, separate j yourself from him; he is one you ought to avoid: airn them all out; give them private situations, and then let them do as they please.” Query.—If these principles were enforced by the administration, how many of the present race of office-holders would continue to receive iheir nourishment from the public Crib? X, Y.Z. [communicated.] Mr. Snowden:—As the law makes it the duty of the Court to appoint a Harbor Master for this port, the Court, of course, will obey the j law and make the appointment they are re- j quired to do. A Harbor Master is a useful of- J ficer in all well regulated ports; for in case of dispute,—and who can say when disputes may not arise—and no such officer is in existence, who is to be attended to? 1 do hope that some of our old Sea Captains may get the office and execute its duties. My recouecuou exieuua back twenty-five years, when Mr. Willis was Harbor Master, and from that time to this the office has been filled. But, as I have intimated, the law makes the office, and it is not in any bo dy’s power, except Congress, to defeat the pur poses of the law._A MERCHANT. [communicated.] Mr. Snowden:—I say to your correspondent X- Y.” that if I have uttered any thing not true regarding any member of the Alexandria Canal Board,—of whom alone I have spoken,— atonement, if required, shall be made: that if t have spoken but truth, no one has cause of complaint: that neither case justifies his assault upon me; and that I do not think him woithy my further notice.

Y being, I suppose with his permission, referred to lor the truth,’ I con sider myself at liberty to refer to him for the truth on my part, also, of what I not only have said, but may hereafter say on the Canal subject. 1 shall do so the more willingly because of my conviction that his particular care will cor rect any fallacy or error on my part. 1 will therefore proceed, as my better employment oermits me time, to perform the intention ex pressed in my last, without attending to any others than the aforesaid PresidenL A CITIZEN And Alexandria Canal Stockholder.

In the Senate on Friday last, Mr. Webster said, that on the subject which had been for some time under discussion in the Senate, one of great public interest had not been adverted to, on which, he confessed, his views were not very consolatory. For the purpose of bringing this subject before the Senate, he had prepared the resolution he held in his hand, and which he would then take the liberty of presenting. When it came up for consideration, he would take oc casion to make some explanations in relation to it. Mr. Webster then submitted the following re solution: Resolved, That the Committee on Finance be instructed to inquire into the probable effect of the present state of commercial affairs on the revenue of the United States. Mr. Clay rose and said, that he had, some time since, submitted a resolution, arising out of the present state of the public distress, to inquire into the expediency of extending the time for the payment of revenue bonds. He now mov ed the Senate to take up this resolution, and dis pose of it in some way or other. To this resolution, Mr. Forsyth had moved an amendment, making the inquiry general as to the cause of the public distress; to which Mr* Clay had moved an amendment, connecting the general inquiry with the specific object contain ed in the original resolution. The question being on the amendment moved by Mr. Clay— A debate arose, which was conducted by Mr. Poindexter. Mr. Wilkins, Mr. Silsbee, Mr. Black, Mr. King, of Georgia, Mr. Chambers, Mr. Webster, Mr. Wright, and Mi'.Mangum, the last of whom made a motion to lay the resolution on the table, with the design of not calling it up again. Mr. Mangum, however, at the request of Mr. Clay, withdrew the motion; when Mr. Clay rose to reply to some of the remarks which had been made. At this point, Mr. Clay, at the request of se veral gentlemen, it being four o’clock, yielded the floor; when, On motion of Mr. Chambers, it was ordered, that when the Senate adjourn, it adjourn to meet on Monday, (this day.) In the House of Representatives on Friday, Mr. Polk moved the House to take up the sub ject of the Appropriation Bill. The House consented—Ayes 104, Noes 44. Mr. Wilde then inquired what question was before the House. The Chair explained, and a debate on ques tions of order occurred, of some length. The question was finally taken on re-conside ration, and decided in the negative, by yeas and nays, as follows; Yeas 103 i| Nays -115 So the House refused to re-consider its disa greement to the report of the Conferees. Mr. Wilde thereupon moved that the House do recede from its disagreement to the Senate's amendment. The debate was now renewed on the whole question of the disagreement between the two Houses, and was conducted substantially on the same grounds as heretofore. The gentlemen who took part in it were Messrs. Polk, Harper of Pa., Wilde, Parker, Brown, Hardin, Foot, Tcrrill, Hawes, Lytle, Bynum, Baylies, and Miller.
