i STSCRIPT. PO aw) ‘ashington [Correspondence of the Herald.) Wasmuncren, D. C., Jan. 15, 1842. ‘Dhe Bankrupt Law—Mr. Wise—Charge Against the President — Presidential Intrigue. f-The action of the House of Representatives to day on the Bankrupt Bill, leaves no doubt of its re- peal by that body, atleast. The intemperate Jan- guage of the New York Courier, and the gress in- sinuation of a corrupt motive, eperating on the con- duct of honorable men in the House, has soured, and perhaps justly,many who otherwise would have been disposed to give the subject a greater degree of reflection. itis unfortunate for the whigs of New York, that their interests should so often be compro- mitted by an indiscreet press. The violent denun- ciatory language of the speakers at the meeting in New York, is doing mischief also. ‘With regard to its fate in the Senate, it is impos- sible to speak with much confidence. It will bea close vote. The instructions from Kentucky place Mr.Clay in a bad position. Mr. Morehead will un- doubtedly obey them. It is asked why Mr. Clay’s friends in the House did not, at all events, allow a little time to elapse before they pressed the question as they did. They can best answer. On the passage ef the bill at the extra session, the vote in the Se- nate stood thus :— sftyes. mer Barrow, Nays. Messrs. Allen, Archer. Porter, Simmons, Sevier, Smith, of Indiana, Smith, of Connecticut, Southard; Sturgeon, Tallmadge. Tappan, Walker, ‘Woodbury, ite, Wright.—23. Williams, Woodbridge, Young.—26 Mesers. Preston and Mangum dodged the vote. Mr. Nicholson, who voted in the negative, is ab- sent—there being;two vacancies from Tennessee. Messrs. Morehead. Williams, and Young, who were then in the affirmative, will now, as it is un- derstood, votein the negative. This leaves but 23 against the repeal. It isexp2cted, however, that Mr. Rives, and perhaps Mr. Mangum, will vote against the repeal. If Mr. Clay disregards the in- structions from Kentucky, then, on the abeve state- ment, the Senate being full, the vote will stand 25 to 25, and the repeal will be lost. It will be seen from this, that the vote will be extremely close, and the result very doubtful. It is mot impossible that, under the circumstances, some compromise may be effected, and the operatioa of the repeal bill postponed to the end of the session, er for some reasonable period which will enable the unfortunate debtors to avail themselves of the provisions of the law. It is a curious fact, that many of the petitions for the repeal have been seat in blank to the Western States, from English and other foreign houses in New York, to their agents and partners in those States for circulation, and then are returned here as evidences of public sentiment. These gentry, who have a Bankrupt Act in their own country, of which they would not hesitate to avail themselves, are unwilling that the American people should have any. With respect tothe action of the President, in the event of the passing of the repeal bill, much so- licitude is felt, and contradictory opini Mr. Clay, and his more immediate friends, insist that Mr. Tyler has not the firmness to vete the bill. We thigk, however, that no doubt or fear need be en- ertained on the subject. A late number of the New World,a professed neu- tral paper, contains a vindictive and elaborate as- sault on the conduct and character of Henry A. Wise. The atticle contains a modicum of insidious praise, but this only places the abuge in a stranger telicf. The writer claims to occupy a neutral po- sition, but the whole piece is imbued with ungo- verned hostility to Mr. Wise, and devoted partial- ity to Mr.Clay. Under ordinary circumstances, abuse, however malevolent, misrepresentation and falsehood, however well considered and deteamined, coming from such a quarter, would not be entitled to notice. In the present case, however, the attack is a part of aconcerted plan to prejudice an able, upright, and most honorable, highminded man with the people, and to impair his prospects of future usefulness and distinction. No man in the nation has been the subject of more unimerited abuse than Mr. Wise. He has been assailed by ignorance on the one hand, and malevolence on the other. His conduct, public and private, has been misrepresented by motives perverted, his character maligned, and every effort made to crush him under an accumu- dation of slander and falsehood. The New World has become a party to this design. It has departed from its neutral position and character, willing to become a “seizing dog” for Mr. Clay, and wearing an inscription of its owner's name on its collar. The writer challenges a cause of enmity from Mr. Wise to Mr. Clay. Let Mr. Clay or any of his confidential friends endorse the attack of this neu- tral paper on Mr. Wise, and the friends of the lat- ter gentleman can furvish ample grounds for perso- nal hostility. The great point of attack on Mr. Wise and one thathas been considered the most availa- ble to his injury, is his connexion with the unhappy duel in which Mr. Cilley lost his life. It is this af- fair where the writer in the New World dwells with the most ferocious violence. Mr. Wise’s agency in it is denounced as a crime of the deepest dye, and he invokes the indignation of the people, and seems to anticipate the vengeance of Heaven upon his head. This thing has been carried about farenough. ‘Mr. Wise has borne the whole odium of a transae- tion in which his conduct was humane, jndicious, forbearing and conciliatory, tor years, from too great generosity towards Mr. Clay. The reiterated assaults upon Mr. Wise for this matter, by partizaus and papers in the interest of Mr. Clay, absolves the friends of the former gentleman from all obligations to further silence in the premises. It was Mr. Cay, not Mr. Wise,who governed all the preliminary proceedings in the Cilley duel. Mr ‘Clay was the sole adviser of Graves, he fixed the points of quarrel, laid the grounds of the chal- Tenge, and drew the challenge itself. Mr. Wise bore acepy of the challenge drawn by Mr. Clay, protesting at the same time against his advice. The only error of Mr. Wise consisted in becoming the challenger, which he advised against, and in risk- ing every thing to guard the life of a friend, who wes conatrained to fight by the interference of Mr. Clay. Under this statement of the circumstances, what blame or responsibility can attach to Mr. Wiel And yet Mr. Clay has permitted Mr. Wise to bear the whole odium of the affair, without whispering his own agency in the transaction—and not ony that, but he is now allowing, if net en- couruging, his partizans and presses to denounce Mr Wise, his own faults, concealing the fact, that if there be guilt, he was the guilty man. If this statement shall be proved vpon Mr. Clay, will his supporters say of him, what they do now of Mr. Wie? We think not, but they may perhaps have sullicient regard to the obligutions of decency and Propriety, to redgain from further abuse of Sindee an. Some of the more indecent of the Clay papers, such as the Independant of this city, and the New York Courier, have charged President Tyler, with providing official places for his relationsand connex- ions, to the exclusion of tried, suitable and compe- tent persons, ani in their allegation, they have ex pended much vulgar abuse and imputed mercinary ad dishonorable motives. ‘The imputation is most unjust, having no foundation whatever. Mr. Miller, brother-in-lawdof the President, ‘s Postmaster at Columbus, Ohio,but the office was promised him by Gen. Harrison, and it is believed that the appoint- ment was made before the old patrioi’s death. At any rate, the thing was determined upon without the interference or agency of President Tyler. Mr. Cooper was appointed to the Frankfort arsenal by Mr. Spencer, without the direction or knowledge of Mr. Tyler. He has a nephew in one of the depari" ments, but he is a faithful, experienced and efficient clerk—was proscribed by Van Burenism, and re- stored before the accession of President Tyler. The office of private secretary, filled by his son, is not known to the law, and is paid out of the President's private purse. The post of secretary for signing the land warrants, the duties of which are discharged by another son of the President, has always been filled by a person holding a confidential situation to the Executive. Gen. Jackson appointed a relative te this office, Mr. Van Buren a son, and no charge was ever founded upon either of the selections. The truth is, President Tyler is fastidious, almost unreasonably so, in respect to conferring public em- ployment on those who are connected with him by blood or marriage. No man was ever more disin- terested. He has a very wide circle of relations and connexions, and in several instances, where he might justly and properly have made them the reci- pients of executive favor—where their claims and qualifications were equal, if not superior, te other competitors, he has passed them over, seemingly, because of their relation to him. =- There is a very promising intrigue on foot here, with a view to concentrate the whig party on Gen, Scott.

Mr. Linw asked the unanimeus consent of the House to consider a resolution calling upon the President of the United States for the report of the Commission upon the New York Custom House. Mr. Cave Jonnson said he must object to any butthe regular procreation for the purpose of reaching the bill to repeal the Bankrupt Law Mr. Linw hoped the gentleman would withdraw his objection, asthe information called for by the resolution ‘was very impsrtant. Mr. Cave Jounson considered the repeal of the Bank- rupt Law more important. JEVERAL voices.—Liun, move a suspension of the rules. Mr, Linn then moved a suspension of the rules. ‘The Sreaxen said the first business in order, was un- der a suspesion of the rules, and it would not bein order to have a second suspension upon the top of it. Mr. Gitmer asked the general consent of the Houseto submit a resolution which he had had in his possession for these ten days. Mr. Horxin: regular business. Mr. Gitmer hoped his colleague would withdraw his objection uutil the resolution w ‘Mr. Horxins said he must object also to, the readii He was glad te have the opportunity of showing his sin- carly in this matter, by objecting to the resolution of. a iriend. Mr. Grime said he would prefer that his colleague's rity should begin at home, and not his sincerity. (A he must object to every thing but the Inge) ‘ne Sreaxer said the motion being objected to, could not be entertained. The House then resumed the consideration of the re- solution to instruct the committee on the Judiciary to amend the Bankrupt Law by including within its pro. visions corporations which issue their paper as acur. rency,@nd such other amendments as may render the law perfect—the pending question being “ shall the main question be new put 7” Mr. Anprews suid before the yeas and nays were call- ed he would ask the attentisa ofthe Speaker to the lat- ter clause of the 34th rule, which he desired the Clerk might read, and it was accordingly read as follows : person, shall visit or remain by the Clerk’stable while the ayes and noes arecalling, or ballots ure counting.” He (Mr. Axpaews) hoped the Speaker would compel the observance of this rule hereafter, and thot the clerks would also keep the pages from the desks while theayes and noes were being called. ‘The yeas and nays were then called, 111, nays the main question was ordered. Mr. Axprews then called for the ayes and noes on the adoption of the instructions, and they were ordered, and the motion to instruct was ayes 98, noes 109. § Mr. Boro presented & petition of citizens of Otsego county, New York, praying for a repeal of the Bankrupt Law, which he moved should be referred to the commit- tee onthe Judiciary with instructions to report on this day at two o’clock, and in execution of the order of the 8th instant, @ bill to repeal the Bankrupt Law ; and upon this he moved the previous question. ‘Phe petition and resolution Were read, when ‘Mr. Boyp again demanded the previous question, which was ordered. Mr. Graxcer rese to a question of order. The Houso was already acting under a suspension of the rules ; could then, this resolution be passed without a two- thirds vote ? Mr. Cave Jonnsow rose to address the Chair, but Mr. Gaayaen said he had not yielded the floor, Mr. Cave Jonxson begged pardon, but he only wanted to refer the Speaker to a precedent. The Sreaxen said he had many precedents, and one already under the present suspension of the rules, and im conformity with them, he desired that the vote of a ma- jority was sufficient carry the resolution. (Great noise and contusion in the Hall. Cries ef “ order” “ can’t hear a word, &c.” Mr. Wixtnnor moved to lay the whole proceedi: the table. Mr. W. W. Inwis rose toa point of order, (Loud of “erder.”) The gentleman from Kentucky (Mr. Born,} had presented a petition, he had moved that it be refer red with instructions, and had then moved the previous question. Coulda member make three motions at once ? Mr. Boro wished te correct the gentleman a little in the history of the case. He presented the petition and movedthe instructions, and ther, it was true, he had moved the previous questeon before the announcement of the reception of the petition. But it was also true, that after the petition was anneunced, and the instruc- tions read by the Clerk, he had again demanded the pre- vious question. The Sreaxcr said it wasthe practice and had been #0 decided by the House, that a member might submit a proposition, and without yielding the floor, to move the previous question. Mr. Inwiy said he was aware that a member could maketwo motions in sua n, but doubted the power and were, yeas ked where the petition was from. from Otsego county, New York, for a repeal of the Bankrupt law. Mr. B. i» then raised a point of erder. The in- were not upon the subject matter of the peti- tion, but upon a previous order of the House. A Vorce.—O Lord, what a peint of order ! The Sreaxen said the reterence to the order of the House was merely incidental, and did not vitiate the regularity of the proceeding. t. Bakwann said bis point was this, The substance of the instructions was, that the Committee on the Judi- ciary report in pursuance of an order of the House here- tofore given. Could the House instruct the committee to do what they have only been prevented fom doing here @ ore, by the cou: ition of the business of the House! The Sresken decided that the instructions were in order. Mr. Fitumone, was about to address the Speaker, when he wasa-ked if he appealed from the decision, to which he replied, he was satisfied that the decision was correct. Mr. Luwis Wiitiams then raised another point of or- der. The instructions required the committee to re- port the bill at two o'clock, but the rules of the House are imperative, that the committees shall not sit while the House i# in session. How can the committee report without violating the rules of the House ? ‘The Sreaxex suid the committee could assemble with- in the hall, if necessary Mr. Wietiams said that the rules expressly ordered, thatthe committee should only sit in the committee said the committee would have totake Mr. Cusnina then rose to a point of order. [About this me the House was in a most tumultuous state of confu- The gentleman from Kentucky presented a peti- tien npon which he moved instructions, immediately demanded the previous question. By pursuing this plan, the most obnoxious petitions could be got into the House, even the most odious of abolition petitions. He wished to raise the question of reception upon the petition. Mr. Prorrrt said that under the practice of the House, petitions were always considered to be received unless the question of reception was raised when they were presented. This was not the case with abolition peti tions, which were expressly excluded by the twenty- firstrule. Mr. Garnet Davis submitted that the question of re- ceptian could only be raised when the petition was pre- sented, and it was too late alter the previous question had been ordered. Mr. Boro again stated that after the instructions had been read from the desk, he had risen and moved the pre- vious question. The ae reply to the gentleman from Massa- chu Sushing] said he was not responsible for the prev: jecision of the House, though he considered them imperative until reversed by a vote of the House. Ic had been again and again decided that the mover of a proposition could, on presenting it, follow it up with a motion for the previous questio. As to the question of raception, the parliament law presumed a petition to be received by unanimous consent, unless the question of reception was raised when it was presented, Mr. Cusmiyo, considering the importance of the quer- tion involved (elt himself constrained to make an appeal fiom the Speaker's decision. (Cries of * Teo late, the previous questien has been ordered.” The Srraxen said the appeal was in order Mr Lewis Wittiams called for the ayes and noes. pe wished to know of the Speaker what ffect if the resolution was not passed un clock. when jt instructed the committee to report precisely at that hour. .

Laughter.] He wanted to understand the question. Increased lenge He wanted to know the question ‘himself, (Roars of !aughter.) He had nevor annoyed the House by thrusting himself forward. (Here the noise was so great as to drown the remainder of the honorable gentleman’s remarks.) Mr. Howaap inquired of the Speaker what was the question. ‘The Sreaxen said it was onthe appeal of the gentle man from Massachusetts. Mr. Howanp asked if there had been any decision on the motion to lay the subject on the table. The Srxaxen replicd in the negative. The questior. was then taken on the appeal, and the fecislen of the Speaker was sustained by a large ma jor: Mr. Bansarp asked what was the question then be- fore the House oat Sreaxen said in laying the whole subject on the le. tion would be decided ted itself; The question was then taken on laying it on the table and decided in the negative—ayes 103, noes 113. ‘The previous queriion was then ordered, and on the ques ion, * Sali the main question be now put ?” Mr. Grancen asked for the ayes and noes. [Cries of oh no, oh no.) Mr. Sranuey hoped their legislation would not take such a Course as to render them ridiculous (order, order) If the Bankrupt Law was to be repealed, and there was majority in favor of repealing it, let them have the question (order, erder.] And now for the question of order. If this resolution was passed after the hour named in it, would not its object be defeated ? ([eries of no, no; the mover can modify it.) He wished the de cision of the Chair. (Great disorder in the Hall; cries of * make it 3 o'clock,” “ forthwith,” “ immediately.” ‘Mr. Wise—I would suggest to the mover of the reso Jution to iasert the word * forthwith.” Mr. Bovo said he would amend by substituting for “2 o'clock,” the word “ instanter.” Mr. Granoun asked if the resolution was amended. The Sreaxen —Not yet. The Cuxxx ‘hen read the resolution as amended. Mr.Garanaer moved to ley it on thetable. (Cries of “no no,” “yes, yes,” &c and great confusion prevailing.) Mr. Axpaews assed for the ayes and noes, which were ordered, and were yeas 97, nays 116. Mr. Curttenven thea moved that the House adjeurn.

The resolution if adopted, would vary the orderef business under the mn of the rules, Would it not therefore require ,jority of two-thirds to pass it ? Mr. Paerrtr said that would be decided when the ques: tion came up. i Mr. Gaancer preferred to test the question im his own way, and asked the decision ofthe Speaker. ‘ ‘The Srraxen decided that it required but a majority of the members to pass the resolution. Mr. Graxcen arese again to address the Speaker, but the cries of order, order, question, question, were almost deafening, and continued for some minutes ; when the noise had somewhat subsided, he said, with much firm: ‘uess—when these olamors should cease, he would cox mence what he hadto say ; these cries of “ question ! * question !” had little importance in any matter before the House. (Here the cries of order! order! question ! were redoubled, and it was impossible to hear a word of what the honorable member was saying, who ceased speaking, folded his arms, and listened to the hundred brazen throats that were shouting forth their horrible discord. When the honorable member could make him- self heard he proceeded with his remarks.) I rise, sir, to a privileged questioa, which I shall put before I take my seat. Irise, Mr. Speaker [profound silence) to ask the ayes and noes onthe resolution. [The heuse was liter ally convulsed with laughter.) Phe ayes and moes were then ordered, and the clerk commenced calling, when Mr. Sprica rose and said: Mr. Speaker! (Laugh ter. The Srxaxen—The gentleman from Kentucky. Mr. Srricc—Have I aright to say any thing? (Roar of laughter.) i The Sreaxen (Rap, rap, rap)—The House will come to order. Gentlemen will please take their seats.

Mr.Srniaa—Then I have not aright to say any thing. (Lond laughter.) ‘The Speaurn—Not at present. The Currex proceeded with the rell for some time, when Mr. Axpnews hoped the Speaker would enforce the rule which he had called his attention to this morning. The Sreaxer said it not in order for members to stand near the Clerk’ table while the yeas and nays were being called. The vote was then announced on the a resolution to be, ayes 116, noes 99.

The resolution requires that the bill should be reported ta stanter. Now instanter, in law Latin, or English Latin (shouts of laughter.) or Latin anglicised—that’s English Latin—meant instantly, and he, asone of the majority, demanded that the order be executed immediately.— {Tremendous uproar.} Mr. J. C. Cranrx thought that such acourse would loek like a reflection on the committee. Instanter meant within a reasonable time, (laughter) and forth- with meaota reasonable time. (redoubled Jaughter. Loud cries to report the bill} ‘ Mr. Fitimore objected to the report being presented out of order. 3 Mr. Bansanp said that no one would suppose him as the Chairman eftie Committee,to be disposed to throw any obstacles in the way of the execu of the order of the H vuse,butas he construedit, it was an order to the committee, nut to any individual member of it, and he would cheerfally act as the organ of the committee, when directed by a majority of them to report the bill. Mr. Baonsxu rose to a point of order. There was no question before the House, und he objected to any debate except upon @ regular motion. bs Mr. Horxins said there wasa question before the House, and that was the execution of tue order just made by the House. Mr. Wise said that the question before the House was the execution of the order passed by a majority of the House, nd he called uponthe Chairman of the Commit- tee on the Judiciary to say whether he had not been ia- structed by the Committee in pursuance of the order of t inst.,to report a bill for the repeal of the bank- d whether he had*not that bill now in his posses nd was not ready to report it.

Incensott,) who had mounted the red flag this morning, (alluding to a red cravat worn by the honorable member,) and was no doubt prepared to play the execntioner. (Laughter.) Mr. Fittmoa® rose to a point of order. The House having decided by a vote of two thirds to receive peti tions from the States, the order of business could not be varied without a vote of two thirds, (Cries of ‘that point has been already settled,” “order ! order!) Mr. Wise rose in the mist of great uproar and confu- i, ant said the Houre declared its will on this subject by decided majorities, upon the different quib- bling motions which hed been interposed to arrest the ession of its will. ‘That will having been declared, it was the duty of the Chairman of the Committee to port the bill which he had in bis possession, which in coatormity with that will. Did the minority suppose payeees permitted to govern and control the ma- jority— Mr.Cusnine rose to a point of order. He objected to any debate until the Chair had decided what was the question before the House. p Mr. Paorrit rose, and was recognized by the Speaker, but ‘Mr. Fictions commenced speaking, when Mr. Paorrit ssid Imperatively, will the gentleman teke his seat?

Mr Proreir said he concurred with the gentleman from Virginia, that there way no motien required. The order was imperative, and the committee was bound to comply with it. It was passed by the majority, and yet the minority attempted to overrule it. He had Mr. R. Len rose to a point of order. (Great aproar and confusion.} M —Aye, make as many points of order as you please, That's about your speech. Will the gen- tieman state his point of order 7 Mr Rawporrn made some remark, which was com: ome drowned in the uproar and confusion which pre vailed. Mr. Prorvrr said that not only was the mojority of the (longe attempted to be controlled, but individual mem ber# were attempted to be beaten down by the bankrupt jo‘inenee in that House.

Mr. W. C. Jonmaos contended that the question before the House was the motion of the gentleman from New Y rk (Mr, Clark) to proceed with the execution ot the o dor for receiving petitions. His friend trom Virginia had risen first, but had made no motion, Mr. Marsiave beggedto correct his =e Jaxd, as to the question b fore the House. As soon as the Speaker had anuoanced the result of the vote on the re- ‘iend from Ma solution of instructions, he hat moved that the Commit. }- tee be called upon for the report. Mr. Annet p got the flour, but his voice was to hoarse as te be utterly indistinct, except the concluding word, * adjourn.” Mr. Sraico moved an adjournment. The Sreaxen, however, assignod the floor to : Mr. Gaxnurr Davis, who gave notice of ‘his intention on Monday next to ask leave to introduce a bill to rapeal the Bankrupt Act. Mr. Anno.p again moved an adjournment. The ayes and noes were then tuken on the question orca which was negatived by a mejority of 118 to $7. Mr. Baawann then rose and said he desired to say @ few worcsif the House would hear him for a moment. © Mr C. M3 Witusams—I hope not. (Lries of “ report,” “ report,” “ @ report is d-manded.”) 2 The Srr.axen madesome observation, which was not heard in the great confusion. Mr. Wise—I_ hope the Chair will keep gentlemei their seats. [The members were standing in knots in various parts ofthe House, engaged in active conversa- tion, and the hum of voices was never approached much less equalled, by any parish scheol in christendom } The Sreaxen, cher restoring comparstive orde called upon the gentleman from New York to proc: Mr. B. D Tose accordingly, and said he desired to say to the House very distinctly that he considered the Judiciary Committe: himself, asa member of the Judiciary Committee, as under a peremptory order of the House, ond es having been 0 since Tuesday last, to report a bill to repeal the Baukrupt Law instonter; and he hed held himself ready to make that report. Mr. Wise—Well, make it now. Mr. Baryanp continued—His opinion was, that the present instructions passed ty the House, added nothing to the force of the previous order, and he held himself ready te report at any moment, if the House would hear him. [Hear him.hear him.} He now asked leave of the Houseto make hisreport. (Cries of “| object, and great confusion.) Mr Savnpens {a member of the Judiciary Committee] said he understood the gentleman from New York held himself ready to report, and that the coramittee had or- dered him to do so, and to doit “forthwith,” but that he asked leave of the House to do it. [No,no,ne.] Now, he (Mr. Saunders} had been directed by the committee, and he now made of “1 object to such a report”—“ That Order, order,” and great confusion } es j2ny—Mr. Speaker, Mr.Speaker——.

The House had made an order on the committee to repatt instanter,and he thought i: was the duty of the committee te obey the order of the fouse, Mr Cusninc—I appeal from the decision of the chair. Mr. Wine—And | call for the ayes and noes on the appeal. "ic. Finimoae—Mr. Speaker. (Order, order, and deafening murmurings throughout the Heuse.) The Sreaxex hoped the House would come to order. (A voice washward to cry out “ Bring ’em to order, Mr. Speaker.”) Mr. Fittmone—I once witnessed a scone of more— —Lhope the gentleman will be called to or der. as the question is not debateable Mr. Fitumorr—I récollecet well— Mr. Wise (in a voice of thunder)—Mr. Speaker, I call the gentleman to order. Mr. Sraica made some observation, which was not heard at the Reporter’s desk. Mr. Wise (increasing the volume of his tone as he addressed the gentleman from Kentucky). I call you to order, Sir. (Cvnvulsive laughter throughout the hall.) The Sreaken—The House will come to order. Mr. Wir then said his point oforder was, that under the rule all questions relating to priority of business must be decided without debate. Mr. Fitumore said the question now on theap- peal, and he was simply going on tosay, that he had wit hessed a scene of violence in that hall, when it was per- haps os excited as it was now—he referred to the odious New Jeracy spe el pedes pirunty OFCEE) He spoke of it as a precedent—(order, order.) f ‘The Sreaxer.— Che gentleman will see the propriety cf coufining himself to the question. * Mr. Frurmone.—Trae; but had he not the right to show a,recel nt besrims<mthe case? ; ‘Yhe Sr; axen made some observation which|was not heard in the confusion. 4 Mr. Fu..mone continued—Well, he would use milder language respecting that case He repeated then,he recol Jected a cese in Which the myjority of the House ordered ac) nmittee to rep rt“ forthwith,” and thatcommittee,in cDedie: ce to the cummand of the House,presented its re- port, ond asked the privilege of presenting it at the tabie; but objection was made, and notwithstand- img the strong party violence which pervaded that hail, there was found independence enough to sus- teim the rulesj and prevent the report being made, and it was retsined in the hands of the Committee some three, four, or five days before the committee was called in order. and until it was called in order the re- port was not ma le, He knew that this bill was doomed by that House—ne knew it was unnecessary to resort to secure delay, but he regretted that it was necessary to break down the rulea, and hecalled upon the members of all sides to in the rules of the House. If this decision of the Spsaker were to stand, all that would be required in many cases was to intro- duce a resolution, pass itby a majority, make it impera- tivé to act “furthwith,” and they changed at once their order of business. They had passed more violent scenes than this without doing that, snd he called upon tlre Honse to pause before it did it now. ’ Mr. Wetter called for the previous question. Mr. Bouvex moved aa adjournment, which was ne- gatived by the ayes and noes, by a majority of 107 to 87. Mr. Wise,—The question 18 now ou the appeal. The Sreaken asked the indulgence of the House for A moment. There wasno analogy between this case and the one quoted by the gentleman from New York, but the Chair would nevertheless be glad to avoid giving adecision upon it. A petition was presented and an or- der of the House was made on a committee torepoit,aud o report was tendered by the chairman of the committee —(no, no, not the chairman.) Well, by a member under the order of the committee—(“ And by the chairman too.”) That was the state of the case, and the ques tion was whether they should comoly with the or- House “forthwith.” Inthe New Jersey ca lances were different, for an adjourament hod intervened, but here the House was still in session , and it would be absurb to say that whem the House had Jirected a report forthwith thatits order was nugatory. He could not then in his judgment arrest the action of the House. (Question, question.) Mr. Banwany asked the reading of the journal of Tuesdey which relates to this question. Mr. Wise objected, To read the journals now would be to do it inthe nature of an argument, and to this he objeeted when the previous question was called. Mr. J.C. Crarxe made the motion that the journalo Tuesday be read. Mr. Howanp asked if it wasintended by the Speaker to aifirm the principle that an order of this Housethat a committee shall report “ forthwith” went to suspend the 224 rules which says! that committees shall be call ed in order efter the presentation of petitions. ‘The Seranen’s reply was inaudible, i Mr. Wistuaor enquized whether the pending appeal did not give occasion for debate 27 If so, it must neces- earily go over wntil the next petition day. ‘The Sreaxen’s answer was not heard amidst the loud cri question,’ whieh were heard from every part of the Hall Mr. Lewis Witxtams again aj aledto the Chair to have the journals of Tuesday d. (Loud cries of “order, order.”) Mr. Basxano—Is it in order to ask for the reading of the journals? The Sreaxen—it is not after the previous question has been demanded. Mr. Banxann enquired whether a majority could not order the journals to be read. ‘The Svraxex was underetogd to decide in the negative antil they had disposed of the question then be.ore the House. Mr. Firuotone called for the ayes and nocs on the main question on the appeal. Mc. Stanier enquired if his colleague had no right to make an enquiry from the chair. ‘The Sreaxen said he had not decided that the gentle. man had no right to ask the Chair any thing ; andifthe gentleman asked the Chair a question, the Chair would give acheerful answer to it. Mr. Lewis Witttase said, them he would ask if the journal of Tuesday last did’ not show the fact thatthe Judiciary Committee could not report because reports were not then im order, nor without a vote of two thirds. Mr. Wiss: rose to a peint of order. The Chair could not answer the question, because tee Chair might be asked fur precedents from tbe Journal, for not only Tues- day, but any day frem the foundation of the government, and thus the whole case might be argued.

Mr. Wintinor rose to a point of order. The resolu- tion under which the chair permitted this report to be made, went only to the preseatation of the report, aud being presented, it must necessarily be laid on the table, aud petitions would then be in order, and that order of as could not be laid aside without a voteof two- hirds. y, _ he Sraaxen called upon the chairman of the Judi- ciary Committee for the Mr. Paorrit (in allusion to Mr. Saunder’s report.) Why, the bill ison the table. Mr. Barnaup stood with a bill in his hand for presen- tation, but there was so much confusion that he could not make himself heard. After comparative order had been restored, he said,in obedience to the peremptory order of the House, he was preparedto report. He then sent the bill to the table. > _ Sreaxcr Mr. Winrunor objected to the reading. The resolu- tion, which imperatively called for the bill,did not pro- vide that itshould be read. (Laughter) It was the duty of the Chair pow to enforce the existing rules of the Honse, and go on with the business in order. Mr. Horx:ns said the 115th rule provided that the first reading of a bill shall befor information, and if there was then objection made to it,the question should be, all the bill be rejected?” If it were not rejected, it was read a secend time and referred to a select commit: tee erto the committee of the whole House. But until it had been read, they could not tell that the committee had reported a'bill. Mr. Wintnror contended that the delivery of this report was no more than the delivery of a message from the Executive, er a report from any of the Departments, and that in like manner it must lie on the table. Mr. Unperwoon enquired how they knew it wax a bill bap as the Bankrupt Law until they had heard it. A Memoer said that the Speaker had so announced it. Mr. Unpeawoop replied that they must hear it for themselves. Mr. Weer said the committee had made their report and he asked that it be now read. The Sreaxen said the order was specific, and it must be read, that the House might knew that its order had been complied with; it would be for the House to deter- mine what should be done afterwards. The Crxax then read the bill, which provided that the Bankrupt Law “be, and the same ia hereby re- pealed,” Mr. Winruror then objected to any question being taken on the bil Mr. Wsitma—Then the question was, whether it should be rejected. [Great cenfusion.] The Sreaxynr ealled the House to order, and then was understood to decide that it was not consistent with the authority which brought the bill befere the House to meses with it further without a suspension of the rules. Mr Wise appealed from the decision of the chair,on the ground that the order for the report from the com- be made the report the order for the action of the louse, Mr. J.C. Cuanxe inquired whether all this had grown out of the appeal. Mr. Wise continued—What could be tho object of the House in ordering a report to be made instanter to repeal that act unless the House could proceed with its action onthe bill? The House doubtless might proceed by a majority to dispose of the bill. He would beg any gen- tleman to tell him what they were to do with the bill if action was not an incident on its reception. The gen- tlemen were caught in their own trap when they raised this question of order, and hastened the action on the bill. The question w: n of the bill, and to the Speaker’s decision he took an appeal on which he moved the previous question that they might not run op to the first of February at which time this act was to gointe operation. [Great confusion.) Mr. Everett moved to lay the billon the table, on which theayes and noes were demanded. Mr. Anprews moved an adjournment. Mr. Brorrir called for the 4 8 and noes. Mr. Uxpexwoon inquired whether, if they adjourned then, hey should resume the business just where they off. announced “the first reading of a yj 2be Sreaxen was understood to reply in the affirma- ive.

(Correspondence of the Herald.| Battimore, Jan. 16, 1842. New kink in the’ Post Office Department, §:c. Mr. Eprror:— Yesterday morning a letter was received in this city, by the proprietors of the Baltimore Sun, from President Tyler’s private secretary, authorizing, or rather, peremptorilyjordering, the publication of the list of dead letters remaining in the Baltimore Post Office, henceforth, exclusively and alone, in the said Sun, neutral penny paper. This is truly anew move in the administration of National affairs. It is a gi- ganuc—a magnanimous manifestation, that John Tyler has determined not to forget the day of small things, even if it be at the expense of larger ones. Agreeably to my solitary opizion, however, I think that the Captain would do better to give his atten- tion to more weighty matters. His inteif ring with such items, heretofore left to the discretion of sub- ordinates, is bridling a privilege not intended by the genious of our liberal institutions in this republican land, for shackles. The Sun, | eonfess isa most excellent paper of the class, has a’ wide circulation, exhibits much energy and talent, and is the only penny journal in our city which ever has, or probably ever will, meet with a living encouragement The President, however, if | may be allowed the expression of an opinion, in this recent Post Office Department interference, touching the trifling matter of advertising at least, has 1 think, advocated a wrorg doctrine. It is like taking bread from the mouths of those who feed him with @ spoon before he could feed himself, thus causing him to grow to the stature of aman. | learn also thatthe Ledger in Philadelphia is to have the advertising of the letters in that city.
