tion of the Inmates of the White House, ‘The recent manifestations of the extraordinary strength of Van Buren in the House of Represen- tatives, have produced very remarkable results, not only throughout the country, but in and about the White House. The election of Speaker, but more particularly the election of Blair and Rives as printersto the House, has created a commotion in the various departments of the government and White House, for whose parallel we must look not in the sober pages of actual history, but in the tales of diablerie and romance contained inthe Arabian Nights Entertainments, or the veracious memoirs of Jack the Giant Killer. Just let us look at this curious business for a mo- ment, until Ole Bull tunes his violin for the next enchantment. Blair and Rives, for more than a twelyemonth past, have been pouring out, day after day, the most cutting sarcasm, biting reproach, and virulent abuse, on the devoted heads of President Tyler and his cabinet. The.bitterness, the vehemence, the absolute ferocity of tiese attacks, have been as notorious as the slashes of the bowie knife on the Mississippi. Poor Captain Tyler was exhibited in every possible attitude, and for the purpose of an- noying him, the ingenuity of his tormentors was taxed in every imaginable way. It was not to be wondered at, then, that a tremendous effort on the part of the President and his administration, was made to prevent the election of these persevering and unmerciful assailants to the important and lu- crative office of printers to the House. This was indeed well understood to be the great question at the commencement of the session. But what do we now see? What has been the result of all these efforts? Why, one of the most humiliating defeats that could possibly be imagined, has be- fallen the President, and Mr. Van Buren has tri- umphed in a manner, which even the most san- guine of his friends could hardly have anticipated. The President has met bitter, mortifying, over- whelming defeat, and his unrelenting, ferocious tor- mentors, have been rewarded to the fullest extent of their ambition! Now the patience of Job couldn’t stand this. Such an accumulation of provoking annoyance, disappointment, defeat, humiliation, and vexation of spirit, would turn the temper of a saint inte vi- negar. No wonder, then, that so many evidences of smarting and uneasiness should be manifested—so amusing, 80 instructive, so philosophic, so literary, 80 poetic, so every thing. It is now said that Cap- tain Tyler hascome out strongly in support of Clay—maintains that he will be the next President —condemns in the most decided manner the course of Van Buren and his friends—and finally declares his intention to organize a party for himself, and set both whigs and locofocos at defiance. Alas! Cap- tain Robert Tyler is most awfully chagrined. He made terrible efforts to defeat Blair & Rives, and his mortification at the result is excessive. He is in a perfect agony of annoyance, humiliation and despair. He isin the very best possible mood to compose a Jeremiad equal to Paradise Lost,and the White House is altogether filled with the sounds of mourning, lamentation and woe, so described by the melancholy prophet in his vision of the disas- tera which overwhelmed Jerusalem. Really, really, we are not surprised at these things. Itrequired no prophet to predict them. And if Mr. John Tyler, the President of the United States, had properly understood his position at the commencement of his administration, as we did, he would not now be so much astounded and mor- tified by results which would then have been clearly foreseen. But he has been hoodwinked and hum- bugged, and bamboozled, and treated like a child from the moment of his exit from the whig ranks in consequence of the threat of Clay, until this par- ticular day and hour, when he stands the laughing stock both of whigs and democrats. All the pre- sent annoyances, and difficulties, and humiliations, and impotency of his position have been produced by his own want of firmness—his own want of ap- preciation of his position—his own want of discre- tion in neglecting to stand by his true friends who first offered their services in his behalf—his own want of common sense in trusting himself to those who were mere blood suckers and enemies in dis- guise. These have been the sources of his present difficulties. To these failings and errors he is in- debted for the accumulated misfortunes which now start up on all sides, wherever he may turn, like the ghost of Banquo. It is true that Mr. Tyler has made efforts to struggle out of the quagmire. He has made changes in his cabinet from time to time. Pray, what did he gain?’ What has Porter, of Pennsylvania, done to support the administration in the House of Re- presentatives? Has he brought a single man? Not one. What has Henshaw, from Massachusetts, done? What has that pure and upright financier of the Commonwealth Bank done? Has he brought a single ally from the New England States? Not one. What has John C. Spencer, with all his Me- chiavelian policy done? Has all his nnderworking of all kinds, placed one recruit in the House? Not one. And yet, withall these facts staring him full in the face—with all the melancholy experiences of the past two years ringing their lesson in his ears, Mr. Tyler is still as ignorant as ever of his true po- sition—as resolutely determined not to see it—as firmly resolved to blast and ruin all the chances which yet remain to him, unshattered by the storm. Why it would indeed seem that the President is like one of those unhappy patients, who will not be convinced that they have got a cataract in their eye, and who on your attempting to remove the obstruction, become so unmanageable under the operation, that the instrument slips,and their vision is ruined and lost forever. Just look at the subordinate departments of the government. Here is the Collector of New York, who has vowed allegiance to the administration over and over again—who has promised, and pro- mised, and premised, in every shape and form to support it. What has he done? The whole in- fluence of the Custom House in this city has been thrown tothe whig press, for the purpose of sup- porting that very journalism, which for two years past hasbeen engaged in abusing and vilifying the administration. What has the Post Office in this citydone? They have thrown away every advan- tage—given every thing that they could give to those who cared nothing about them—and yet are still writing letters to Washington, flattering the President, and amusing him with all sorts of stories about their vast influence, and their great efforts, and the wonderful results they are preparing to pro- d If we look to other States, the same state of things is seen to exist. In short, there never has been a President at the head of government in this country so deceived, so humbugged, so cheated, so Sneered at, by all those very men who are feeding nhis bounty, and occupying positions of confi- nee under his administration. It is perfectly evident, from the history of the st two years, that the President made great and gregious blunders in the selection of his friends, and in the estimate of the dangers, duties, and ad- vantages, of his own very remarkable position. Who can help seeing thist. When, by the awful occurrence of the death of the incumbent, he was called on to take the place of President, we at once perceived his position, and we pointed out the course to which common sense, and a just appreci- ation of that position, clearly indicated. That course was a high-minded, independent one—seek- ing favors from no party—fearing no party—fur aloof and separate from the tangled and miry ways of the mere politicians—his only object, the good of the country—his only reliance, proper confi- dence in his own integrity and firmness, and the natural, healthful, patriotic impulses of the people. ‘The President needed no jarty—no newspapers— ho organization—no committees—no ridiculous co- | quetting with Repeal Associations, or any other kind of associations, to give to his administration efficieney and dignity, and to secure the respect of all enlightened and good men. But instead of taking the advice tendered to him, the President adopted a very different course. He went astray, following every false light; like a benighted travel- ler in a wide morass, floundering in search of every little glimmering taper of corruption, folly, and ambition; so that now the poor man is fairly bewildered, and can hardly for the life of him tell whether he is standing on his head or his heels. Yet there is still hope for the President. There is for him, as for all transgressors from the right path, a locus penitentia. Ile may yet give to the closing scenes of his administration dignity and in- fluence. Te is himself not undeserving of respect. With all his faults he is, we do believe, a man of integrity, and generally actuated by pure motives. His errors are those rather of the head than of the heart. We wish to see him delivered from the perplexities of his present position. His last Mes- sage was a document extremely well calculated to awaken respect. It was sensible, practical, digni- fied. We would greatly rejoice if it marked the commencement of a new and better course of po- liey. Why should it not? Why cannot the Pre- sident now enter onthe course so fully described and pointed out by us on the commencement of his career? Surely he has got enough of the oppo- site line of conduct. Try our advice, then, Cap- tain Tyler. You appear to have got to a good starting point just now. You are looking at the past and don’t like it,do you? Well, then, the finger- post points to another and very different road.— | moting the ol | it in the estimation of the majority of the seamen Seamen's Self-Preservation A general meeting of the seamen in the port of New York was held yesterday afternoon in the | Croton Hall, for the purpose of explaining and pro- cts of the Society formed last week, under the nenie of the Seamen’s Self-Preservation Society. The meeting, though not so numerously attended as had been anticipated, was composed altogether of seamen, of whom there were between sixty and seventy present, and who appeared to take the warmest interest in the proceedings. Mr. Wisox, chairman of the committee, presided, and he commenced the meeting by offering up a prayer fur the blessing of Almighty God upon the cause. ‘The Caarrman next said—This Society hasbeen formed for the support of the seaman’s wages, in order that they might not be decreased; and he had reason to believe that the very men who supporte this movement were the very men who paid the wages now asked for. These men were willing to give the sailor oftemperance princes fifteen dollars a month, but they were decidedly opposed to paying the intemperate sailor $12 or even $10 a month. In fact those who opposed the present proceedings were men of intemperate habits, and those who seemed to be the sailors’ friend whilst they were, in reality, supplying him with soul destroying poison. “shey were, however, men little to be cared for, inasmuch as _ they had but little interest in the community. Yet it was these parties who interfered to peeyint sailors from attending these meetings. They had, in order to accomplish their own ends, propagated false rey society; they had done all in t pris respecting this eir power to injure in New York; but the members of it did not trust in themselves for its extension. They looked to God for support ; and as God had promised that each Christian sailor should become the represen- tative of his nation, the missionary and herald of the cross of Christ, he (the Chairman) believed the Don’t hesitate, but take it at once. But to find it agreeable and safe, take care of the company you take with you. It used to be an old trick of foot- pads, and a good one, too, to put up at the same hostelry, and travel side by side with their victims. Such tricks are practised till this day by other prac- | titioners on the highways of life. Get rid, then, of the influence of the Machiavelian policy of the Se- cretary of the Treasury—cut connexion with the blundering blockhead who has charge of the mails—and deliver yourself from the frothy promi- ses of the Secretary of the Navy, who has as much strength amongst the democracy as an unopened oyster. ‘We have a great deal more to say on this sub- ject, and we mean to go over the history of the last two years, most searchingly. We will turn the actors in it inside and out, and thus exhibit the minutest fibre, artery and nerve in the character and public conduct of Mr. Porter, Mr. Spencer, Mr. Henshaw, Mr. Wickliff, Mr. Webster; and the smaller fry, too, such as Mr. Curtis, of New York, Mr. Graham, of New York, and the like. It will cause the President to read these men, as he canters quietly over the smooth and pleasant road, which we have pointed out, and which he has already half determined to turn into without a moment's delay. AnotugR Newsparer AportTion.—The ne\ paper called the ‘‘ Gazette,” published by Ali -rman Clayton, and edited by Mr. McCracken, ex loded yesterday after a rickety existence of two weeks and one day. This is the paper that was started on a fund of $2,500 by some of the silly friends of Mr. Calhoun in this city, in order to revolutionise the democratic party, and write up free trade— alias free humbug. It has spent all the money and given up the ghost before it got fairly on its legs. Poor thing! We appoint Mr. Bryant the sweet poet, to sing its requiem, Mr. Ritchie of Richmond to pronounce its funeral sermon, and the editor of the Charleston Mercury to write its biography. Mr. Calhoun and his friends are thoroughly ac- quainted with the principles of free trade, but when will they learn the principles of common sense ? _ Tue Late Express rroa Bosrox.—The follow- ing letter from Boston places this affair in a still more mysterious light :— uily Bostox, Dec. 11, 1843. Dean Six—You seem to have an impression in New York that two expresses sta from here with the Aca- dia’s news. Such is not the fact. - Messrs. Harnden & Co. were the only persons who expressed the news to New York. It startel from their ice, Court street, about dark—with Mr. Brigham and a driver, in a small buggy. After getting 20 miles (near Framingham) the horse stum- bled and threw out the driver and Mr. Brigham; the for- mer was not injured, but Mr. Brigham was #0 much hurt as to be unable to goon. The driver, however, continued | on to Hartford where he arrived within 16 minutes of the | starting of the cars for New Haven. The Sun run we ox j press from this city. This is really inexplicable. It is now very clew that Harnden & Co. owe it to the public, to we, eat to themselves to come out with a full explametie of their part in the affair. So far, they mained silent. Does “silence give consent” te ell | that has been said of them in this transaction ? | We do not wish to throw any obstacles in the way of Harnden & Co., nor do we wish to lessen them in the estimation of the public; but we must givea plain statement of the faets in the case. If the blame is to be attached to the driver, who was with Mr. Brigham, it ought to be known; and he statements in the Hartford and New Haven papers must receive a notice in some shape. The journals in those cities have made charges, similar to ours, against Harnden & Co., which cannot but affect the public mind to their detriment, unless met at once and explained. It appears by the letter and from other facts in our possession, that the driver was waylaid in Hartford by the agent of the Sun, and the news taken from him precisely as an express rider of the Courier and En- quirer was stopped a few years ago in Jersey City by an agent of the same concern and relieved of the President's Message, which was in a sealed package. In this case the seal was broken, the contents of the package used, and the next day sent to the office of the Courier & Enquirer. For this the pro- prietor of that newspaper was convicted and sen- tenced. Itis not to be expected that in either case the express rider permitted himself to be relieved of his news unless for some mysterious reason. But, as we before said, this letter places the last express affair in a still more mysterious light, and in justice to themselves, Harnden & Co. must make a full statement of what they know of it, and whether or not the express was run by them for all the New York papers, or for the Sun alone. we re Tue Frencn Benevoient Concert Last Niaur— Washington Hall was as mad, as crowded, as bril- liant,as enthusiastic, as noisy, as musical as ever, last night. An immense crowd—lovely women— acres of moustache—“bravo,” “bravo” —‘encore,” “encore!” The violin—the violin—the violin. Ecsta- tic, tumultuous, overwhelming thunders of ap- plause. Madame Cinti was rapturously received, and sung her audience to the very third heavens. Artot was, as he always is, elegant, finished, sweetly unexceptienable. He was applauded, and applauded, and applauded, till the old building shook on its foundation, and almost rocked like a stout ship in a tempest. Signor Casella, the vio- loncellist, was received on his first appearance in a manner that must have been very flattering to him. His performance on that instrument was finished, and stamps him ag a genius of the first order in his line. He was repeatedly applauded vociferously with the usual enthusiasm of the people who listen- e to his sweetmusic. It wasa very French affair, indeed. And is there not a whole volume of re- finement, enthusiasm, taste, elegance, fascination, in that little phrase? To-morrow we shall speak at length of Artot, Vieux Temps, Ole Bull, and with justice and impartiality, too. Otx BB —It is almost mockery to remind the city that Ole Bull gives his Concert at the,Taberna- cle thisevening. See that you are not too late. (> Wartace has arrived in town, and is prepar- ing to contest the palm with Ole Bull, After the tri, it is said that ha intends to give up the vio- in and devote himself to the Piano altogether. Miemtean Evection.—Official returns give a de. mocratie mi ity of 6,407; an abolition vote of 2775; and a democratic majority in joint ballot in time was not far distant when, through the instru- mentality of such agencies as this, the stigma would be wiped off the character of sailors, that they were a disgrace to their country. He looked for the time when they would be’ hailed by the heathen as the faithful representatives of a Christian land and religion. (Applause.) A new era was, then, about to commence in the history of our sailors, and the verification of the prophecy was about to take place—*That the abundance of the sea shall be converted toGod.”—(Cheers.) These changes he expected to be produced by the men themselves,frigidly acting upon the principles of tem- perance, and joining an institution like the present, whereby their hard earnings would be treasured up for their benefit in seasons of sickness and adversity. It was not, he remarked, the temperate man who required assistance of this kind, expen, beth. in times of distress and disaster, to which all are alike liable, but it was those identical in men who op- posed the objects of this society and refused to tend its meetings; it was those unfortunate be who recklessly spent all their earnings in soul kill- ing liquor, aod this society wished to be the means of causing them, in nautical’ phrase—‘to overhaul a little of the back reckonings.”—(Cheers.) And thus the socieiy hoped to be a grand stepping stone towards effecting a permanent reform in the tem- poral character of our seamen, and he prayed, also, toa Pecos of the religion of Jesus Ghrist— (Cheers.) The rules of the society were then read by the Chairman, from which it appeared that it is inten to prevent seamen. ship- ping for less th fifteen dollars a month, by supporting riods when from cireum- stances they miglit ot se be under the neces- sity of accepting less, and also to relieve wrecked seamen, widow d orphans.

God bless you inthis work! And ifthere is any sailor here who wishes to join this Society, and has not his dollar to enable him, it is in my pocket for him.— (Great cheering.) The uMaN then added a few concluding observa- tions, and after several members had been enrolled, the proceedings termin: Tur Orgna.—A good deal of expectation has been aroused in relation to the new Opera House, at present in course of erection by Palmo, and will probably be finished some time in the month of | ® January. Thereis an immense amount of musical talent in this city just now within the reach of the managers. But judging from the past, we have very little hope indeed of seeing the organization of any company in such a manner as to call forth the town. We see already two parties formed, one in favor of De Begnis is manager, and the other for George Loder; and this spirit of rivalry and opposition extends down to the third violin. It is to be regretted that such cliques should be formed. They will in all probability produce much bad feeling, and we may expecttosee a great many crude and impracticable ideas thrown out before the house is ready. It 1s a most astonishing thing that those whose profession in public is to create harmony, should be proverbial for their success in producing discord in private. But so it is, and so it will be, we suppose, to the end of the chapter. “Tue Horny Crry New Jervsarem,”—A Ser- mon preached at the Dedication of the New Church Temple in Providence,R.. I.,by B.F. Barrett. —Published by John Allen, 139 Nassau street.— Here we have an expose of the principal doctrines of the New Jerusalem Church, as contained in the writings of the great Swedish Theologian and Phi- losopher Emanuel Swedenborg. Those who wish to know what these doctrines are, may learn from this discourse in a very short time, and at the small expense of one shilling. Whatever people may say, one thing is certain, that the works of would be relic. d for the present; but he con- tended that sov.cthing more than mere relief was necessary- ly, a friend who could enter into the. feelin ved, sympathize with their distr: same time adminis- ister the re sary aid—(Cheers.) The society, furt: intended to relieve those poor men Who migiit be said to be worse than ship- wrecked—those who are landwrecked and lying-to, becalmed about Water street and Cherry street.— (Cheers.) It was intended to lift this wretched class out of the mud, as it were, and to point out to them the way of becoming good, useful, and re- spectable members of society. These objects, he be- lieved, would obtain the hy robation and support of the intelligent citizens of New York.—(Cheers.) The constitution of the Society, as he had explain- ed it, had in fact received the unanimous vote of the seamen in port. Buta report had been circu- lated, that though the object might be excellent, the result might not prove to be so good as was an- ticipated. In other words, it was insinuated that the funds might, or would, be vested in the hands of some irresponsible person, who, when a sufficien- cy had been accumulated to suit his purpose, would decamp with it. In reply to this difficulty, the Chair man read the bye-laws, which distinctly provide that no money shall remain in the hands of the offi- cers beyond a certain time, but be deposited in the Seamen's Saving Bank, from which it shall be drawn oaly by the authority of the Board of Con- trel. Objection, on this ground, was therefore at en end.—(Cheers.) After some further remarks, the Chairman concluded by observing that this eetyeet bed a strong claim upon the attention ‘and vor of all classes, including the government and These. hes of the mercantile community. » Weeew, an old sailor, congratulated the meeting poe the circumstance of this movement having origina- (© eet beon organised by no one but a common sailor— wy _ Seek before the mast. It reminded him that our bles- vet Lord and Master, when he propagated his divine in- strections, circulated them first among sailors and fisher- men. He rejoiced that his fellow seamen had determined to become sober men, for then neither merchant, shipping master, notary public, boarding house keeper, or any other nm would be able to take advantage of them.— He had himself, from a dissipated character, became a so- ber man, and from that hee act he was enabled in the first year to save ahundred dollars, the next year he saved another hundred, and in two years and six months he had betweentwo and three hundred more. How was this done? By his having come to the conclusion to let ‘othe neck of the decanter, and put a stopper upon the liquor. (Cheers.) He found as soon as he had applied the stopper, his ets began to fill (cheers), and that in- stead of laboring: to clothe the rum seller's wife and daugh- ters in beautiful velvet mantles, with diamond rings upon their fingers, and all the finery imaginable, he was provi- ding himself with whatever was requisite for his comfort and health. This society would enable its members to do likewise ; and if the seamen of our ports were wise, they would come up as one man to the help of it, He earnest- ly called upon them, therefore, to sign the temperance ple a8 well as enroll themselves members of the Sea- men’s Protection Society. Mr. Stockwell, Mr. Munson, Mr. Brown, Mr. Whit lock, (secretary,) Mr. N’Cann, and Mr. Johnson, next ad- dressed the meeting in eloquent speeches of much length. The principal topics to which they confined themselves were, the enormous wrongs inflicted upon sailors by cer tain hoarding house keepers, and the evils to which they were liable from intemperate habits. The remedy sug: gested and strongly urged was, the observance of total abstinence and membership in this society. Mr. Sratpix, Corresponding Secretary of the Se men’s Friend Society, then came forward, and said : President, will you’ allow me, as a friend, to congre- yourself and this meeting upon the position you taken. Regret has been expressed by some of the speakers that there are so few present today. 1 confess that Ido not feel it, and | cam sympsthize in the senti- ment of regret which has been expressed for this reason, that my heart has been gl med tO see so many here What tol see? More than three score and ten seamen, in whose minds self respect has been created! (Cheers.) Five years ago such a scene as this in the city of New York would have been impossible; three years ago it would have been a wo But what see I now? Sober men doing business like sober men, and invoking the blessing of Almighty God to rest upon them! (Cheers.) Leonfess, therefor, I cannot sympathize in the feelings of regret ‘which have been put forth that so few are here To be sure we might have wished that this hall would have been filled, but I confess — rateful that what has been done, has been done in the right way, and in the right spirit. There was a time in the history of our country—a time of deep and thrilling interest—which this meeting suggests to my mind—I allude to the time when that immortal instrument, the Declaration of American Independence had been just written. It was all written and ready for the signatures of the members of Congress. It was laid upon the table. There sat in that meeting one man, and all eyes were fixed upon him to see what he would do—John firncock, the President of that Congress. He arose, and he affixed his signature to the instrument in such away as to show that he was in ear- Swedenborg appear to be epee considerable attention from the thinking men of this age—much more than at any former period. And the ete will thank Mr. Barrett fer condensing, as he has in this discourse, all the important theological views of Swedenborg, in so concise and cheap a form. The following, found on page 34 of this neat par phlet, is from Swedenborg’s great work, the Arca- na Calestia. We commend it for the spirit «1 eharity and true toleration which it breathes:— is avery common. thing,” Swedenborg, “for those who have conceived an opinion respecting any truth of faith, to judge of others that they cannot be saved but by believing as they do, which,nevertheless, the Lord has forbidden.—Mat. vil. 1,2. On the contrary, persons of every religion are saved, if sobe, by a life of charity, they have received remains of good aad of apparent truth The life of charity is to think well of others, and to wi: well to others, aud to perceive joy in one’s self at the vation of others; but they have notthe life of charit: who are not willing that any should be saved but such as believe as they themselves do.”” This is good. And if this is the way that Swe- denborg teaches, we are ready to say, ‘we will hear thee again of this matter.” Amusements, _ 4 Ninro’s.—A new bill of entertainment is an- nounced for this evening.

ELECTION OF OFFICERS OF ‘THE SENATE.— The Senate then proceeded to elect a Secretary, Sergeant-at-Arms, and Assistant Door Keeper—the Sergeant-at-Arms being also the Door Keeper.

Conclusion of Debate upon Protest in New Ha: shire Question—The Exmmging Process— 3 Whigs Defeated by the Obliteration of the Pro- test—Anti-Constitutional Rules, §e. he During the reading of the journal this morniug, members in all parts of the House might have been “ee with, their hands on the oe their ae ready to spring up and sing out ‘Mr. Speaker, as soon as the Clerk got through. The first man Apams, who complained that the up was the veteran Mr. J. i 1 journal of Thursday Tast, in eee presenta- tion of the memorial of Mr. J. M. Botts, contest- ing the seat of the Speaker, read that it (the me- morial) was laid on tne table. ‘*Now,” said Mr. A., “my motion was that”—(Spreaxer here left the Chair, which was taken by Mr. Hopkins, of Va.)— “My motion was that the memorial be printed and referred to the Committee on Elections.” _ CHaTRMAN.—There was no Committee at that time appointed. ‘ Mr. Apams here looked about him for a second andfsuddenly sat down, as if he did not believe, after what he had already seen, that there was much chance of getting journals amended this ses- 310n. Mr. Stevens, of Ga., Riecncuee the Srgaker, (who had resumed the Chair,) and took his oath ind his seat. Mr. Srevens is a pale, slim, sickly youth, but report proclaims him one of the’ brightest luminaries in the State from whtch he comes. If so, as he is from one of the recusants, we may look out for some thunder- bursts from him, when the main question of ad- mission comes up. Mr. Frick, of Pa., offered a resolution that 3000 copies of the President’s Message be printed in the German language, for the use of the House. By some mischance this gentleman always pre- sents his Dutch resolution at the wrong time. This is the third time now that he has offered it, and it always has been (as it was to-day) rejected as out of order. e Mr. Barnarp, of New York, called attention to the spe: order of the day—the amendment of the journals. Mr. Vinton, of Ohio, said that he had_ received notice that he was appointed a member ofthe Com- mittee of Elections. He did not wish to swerve from any duty imperative on him, as a member of that House, but he had come to Congress in infirm health, and he would beg to be excused. (Excused with one dissentient voice.) __ Here five or six members rose up with resolutions intheir hands, some. trying to catch the Speakers eye,and others bawling out eee hinking that he was more easily approached through the ear. They all gave way to : Mr. Barnarp, who wished to remind the House of the confusion into which they were fast hasten- ing. Here was the beginning of the second weck of the Session, and the journal of the first day still lay subject toa motion to amend. ‘Spraker.—The resolution of the gentleman from New York is first in order. Mr. Barwaxp said that he was, Vogtiady content with what the Speaker had said, but he would move that the amendment of Mr. Gilmer, of Va., to strike out of his resolution all that related to the protest, be put to the vote. s The amendment was read and question taken, when the amendment was carried—ayes 124, nays 94. This was a close party vote. 3 Mr. Hamrin, of Maine, offered a resolution quite novel in its features, The science of legislation brings new lights before the world every day. In fact, we look for strange developments as often as we wink, in this age, which all parse in compli- menting for its improvement, enlightenment and power of locomotion. But Mr. Hamlin’s resolu- tion drew a stare from some of the wisest members in the House. It not only sought the application of the expunging process, but it sought it on the cash Viel alias, in advance. It ran thus—Re- solve , That the Clerk of this House be directed, in making up the journal of the proceedings of this House this day, to omit the protest signed by D. D. Barnard and others, at length,” Mr. Winturop, of Maas., said he would like to know if there was any precedent in the annals of legislation for such a motion as this? It would ap- vear that some gentlemen thought that a majority in this House were entitled to go any length. Was such a thing ever heard of, as a majority of the House instructing the Clerk in the discharge of his juty in preparing the journals? If this precedent was to be followed out, all that we would require to do, if any either silly or outrageous motion war before the House, and we did not wish our consti- tuents to see it, would be to expunge it, as this pro- Corner of Broadway and Aun st. poses, in anticipation. Mr. Gu of vaid he thought the House wee in what might be called * useless, business.” “Sir,” said Mr. G., “1 made a re- mark the other day to the gentleman from New York that I didnot care if his protest was spread on the journal fifty times. AI! that I objected to was the irregular mode in which it was attempted to be done. Ido not. say anything of the protest itself, or in condemnation of the efiorts of gentlemen to try to keep,it on the journals, If they wish it to go down to posterity as an argument in support of their votes, be it 80. e gentlemen interested onthe other side of the question will, no doubt. answer it, spread their argument on the journal . For my part I am at # loss to see how the paper can be excluded from the journal now. But have to say that if the gentleman from New York will come forward and ofier his protest in a direct way, I will vote for its being inserted. e gen- tleman, as I will now suggest to him, would do this at once, he would extricate us from this la- byrinth of points of order. s Mr. Barnarv.—Mr. Speaker, I think the pro- position made was as direct a proposition as it was possible to» make. The paper is now standing on Dedperiee in its appropriate place, and records faithfully the history of our proceedings. If the gentleman from Virginia is di |, as he says, to see the paper on record, he could not have a more fitting opportunity. What objection is there to the manner in which it is nated there? No consti- isons objection--no legal objection—no tech- nical, Here Mr. Gilmer ruse up, and Mr. Barnard sat down. .Mr. Grimer.—The gentleman does not see the difficulty that exists as to the way in which his protest has got on the journals. But mostof the members with whom I’ have talked, have felt and expressed their feelings regarding it. It is impos- sible for anv one to vote tor the insertion of that rotest, Who believes that he is correct in yoting for the right of the gentlemen from New Hamp- shire and other States, to assist in the organization of the House. But the gentleman from New York, by withdrawing this resolution, and putting a mo- tion to have his paper area upon the journals in a direct shape, has it in his power to cut the discor- dial knot in a moment. et 1 Mr, Barnarp.—The resolution is so plain and practical that it seems to me that it could disturb no man’s conscience particularly to vote for it. The resolution of the gentleman from Maine is an ex- traordinary resolution. It affects and strikes at the Constitution itself, as well as the Clerk’s oath. It proposes to instruct the Clerk to Loc this protest out of the Journal. How, sir, I would ask, is the Clerk to make up his journal. If the ayes and noes are taken does the gentleman mean that my motion shall not go along with the ayes and noes? (Here Mr. B.twas much excited.) {fthere is. any one thing plainer than another in the Constitution, it is_this, that one-fifth of the Members of the House have a right to call the ayes and noes—aye, and to have* them recorded with the motion on which they are taken. 1 hope that gentlemen will pause in their course. I beg that they will not pile one act of nullification, upon the top of another. You have already nullified an act of Congress, and now ‘ou propose to nullify the Constitution itself. The lerk is sworn to support the Constitution of the United States, and he cannot do this unless he enters our proceedings on the journals. And there is oaly one way in which it can be noticed. It must he stated in extenso. The gentlemen from Virginia does not think that my resolution is put in a direct shape. I should like to know how that gentleman will vote when the motion comes up to strike this protest from the journals altogether. That will be direct enough, surely. To strike out this protest from the journal would falsify the jour- nal, and I am sure the gentleman from Virginia would not vote to falsify the journal. Mr. Tuompson, of Miss., said, 1 cannot see why gentle- men are so anxious to hand their protest down to posteri- ty. Iam sure it does not blaze with so much wisdom as to make any number of gentlemen proud of it. Does the gentleman wish to hand down to posterity that the was entered falsely on the Ncorsaie? No member of this House knew any thing about it before it appeared. And I say, Mr. Speaker, that now is the proper'time, if we ever intend to do it, to establish a rule by which members who be guided by certain feelings,may be prevented from ing extraneous and cumbersome matter entered on the journals. Why, sir, [ could make your journals so large that the libraries could not hold them. (A laugh.) Sup- pose that I was to move now to insert “ Hutton’ matics” on the journal? | (A laugh) The ay noes are called for, and according to the gentleman froin New York, on they must go, by lines and sections. (Great laughter.) "I heard a member say, the other day—but by way of mischief, I suppose—that if a gentleman moved to have the Old Testament spread on the journal, (cries of oh, oh,) and some fifty members were to agree to the call of the ayes and noes, although not one of them after. wards would vote forit, that sacred book mustgodown onthe journal. Some of the gentlemen who have pre- pared this protest have seen the time when they were foremost in arguing thevery opposite of what they con- tend for now. I recollect well, when they protested against the act of the President, how eager they were to keep the facts off the journal. It is not right to cumber the journal with what does not forma part of our pro- ceedings. I support the resolution of the gentleman from Maine. Mr. Hotmrs, of South Carolina—tt is, 1 think, proposed by some of the gentlemen here to expunge this protest in vance. ‘This would be a very improper proceeaing — Let us not go on too fast, although we are ina majority. ‘The time may soon come when we shall be in a minority. (Cries of “never —"never.%) Oh, no fear of that, just now—thanks to the honesty—(laugh)—the union—(laugh —the lofty patriotism of democracy. (Great laughter, in which the Mr. H. joined.) But suppose that the whigs were tojget in,and it is possible that the country, at somse day may so far mustike its interests ax to let ty (continued laughter) —int selves ina minority. Wel nid ence enough to insist, upon our proceedings being placed on the journal, that they may appear before the country. Would we not think it hard that we were debarred from this privilege ? It is always right to guard against the future. No doubt the country will take good care of us there—(a laugh)—but it is better to act 30 as that we jae not be precluded. The paper ought to remain on the journal Mi J. Ixcrnsout here moved to lay the whole sub- ject upon the table. Upon which the ayes and noes were called. A Memaun—Mr, Speaker, if this motion prevails, does it leave the protest standing on the journal ? Sreaxen—It does, according to the opinion of the chair. Ayes 83—Noes 95. So the motion was not concurred in. Mr. Droomcoots. wished the gentleman from Maine to withdraw his motion to instrnet the protest to ba left out, forthe present. Members had always the right to in- struct the clerk, whatever gentlemen might say. Mr. Wise said that when that protest was offered, there was not a member sworn in this body. The resolution of the gentleman from New York, says that leave was asked of this House to receive his motion. There was no House. Leave has not been asked of this House till thisday. I would ask the mover to modify his resolution by leaving this narrative statement out. “He has power yet to do so. He moved to amend the journal of the House of Repre- sentatives by inserting matter offered before the House ‘This was the beginning of all the error, ve from—offered no paper to the House oft Representa Buthe did so before members had a right to judy fore they were sworn. No man here can judge of the right of another until he has taken the oath to support the Constitution. Mr. Barxarv.—I will read from the manual to show that the gentleman is in error. It says that the House of Representatives shall proceed to choose their Speaker. Mr. Wiss.—And the House is no House until the mem- bers are sworn. It isa body that may organize for the election of a Speaker ; but can the House, at that stage, judge of the qualifications of ite members } Will the gen- tleman from New York be candid enough to say if he thinks it can? There are certain acts for the performance of which it at that time is a House, and others for which itis not. But there is another point which I wish to present to the gentleman. God knows that he has put in pleas enough in support of his darling protest, and amo. others he has put inthe piteous plea that it is harmless thing.” Why, sir, i harmless thing. The gentleman from South Carolina, Mr. Campbell, took a proper step. When ho rose on the first day to op the admission of the gen- tleman from New Hampshire, he tried to find out how that gentleman waselected. Before | was sworn, a certi- ficate was handed to me. [hold in my hand that very pa- now. [hope the gentleman from New York will look Tethat broad seal (shaking it at Mr. B,) Twill see what the paper says. (Reads.) So, here itis, signed, sealed and delivered. ' Let me see : is that the rising or the set- ting sun 1 (looking at the certificate.) Yes. Lsee, sir, itis the rising sun of New Hampshire, shedding its rays of light upon the whole question. Laugh.) ‘This gentle man, before I was sworn, showed me this broad seal as the credential of his election, and I inturn showed my broad seal, as an equal credential, to him. When this broad seal was given me what could | do but not to attempt to pre- judge his ‘The broad seal was prima facia evidenco at least.

No, but he must come ward with his protest, Sir, the broad seal admitted them as members. The House is not yet called upon to say whether John P. Hale, Exquire, is duly elected or not. When it came before the’ commit tee there would have been plenty of time. But the gentleman from New York takes the House in its itiatory procosdings, and wants to contest the seats of r# betore he himself is sworn. Sir, I might ask one d questions in regard to this question, which it would be difficult for the gentleman to answer, Why doesn’t he protest against gentlemen claiming seats that are contested? Why does not he protest against the right of the gentleman on my left?’ Why not against you? non constat, as yet, that you are a member here—Mr. J. M. Botts says not. Non constat that Mr. Gilmer is a member, and non constat that Mr. Hale is amember. By admit: ting thes tlemen to be sworn J have not decided whether their election is given an opinion upon it, at al or net. J have not even yet the gen‘leman protests against my p ings. Sir, the Governors of States sive us our credentials, We do not give them to each other, This is the whole difference between the gentle- man's views and mine. Ihave, during the whole of my political life, been opposed to nullification. Let not the gentleman from New York tell me that I am piling one question of nullification upon another. Let him not im. plore me before | go on with nullification.
