EDITOR'S CORRESPONDENCE.
Washington, January 20, 1830.
Dear Sir: The Senate, to-day, has been engaged in nothing of any great importance.—The bill for the relief of Fulton's heirs has been reported; and Mr. Webster made a long speech on the subject of discontinuing the survey of the public lands. The interminable, prosing, East Room Benton, followed in reply, but did not conclude his speech before the Senate adjourned.
The House has got upon two subjects likely to be productive of long debates—Mr. Brainard's resolution concerning the West Point Academy, and Mr. Buchanan's Judiciary Bill. Mr. Strong concluded his speech on the latter subject to-day, and was followed, at length, by Mr. Blair, of Tennessee. Mr. Ingersoll spoke in opposition to Mr. Blair's resolution. The tediousness of debates in Congress are proverbial, and this Session they appear even more uninteresting than ever. Having nothing of any consequence to tell you to-day, I close my short letter.
