hands of his sureties. The remaini 915.000, witieh is in deposite with Dr. w of Ohio, [to speculate in flour) will also be placed ia the Patriotic Bank in this city as soon as his draft or presence can be obtained, which will be accomplished during this week. This sum, with the vouchers for moneys paid, now in the hands of Mr. Kershaw, the accounting clerk, will balance the accounts of the late clerk and thus exonerate him from the charge uf defalcation. Mr. Hoban, his counsel, appeared before Judge Cranch, of the Uni- ted States District Court this morning, and stated that he was prepared to proceed with the examina- tion. Philip R. Fendall, Esq., the District Attor- ney, Was present on the part of the people, and after examination of the law evap a the powers of the District Judge, Judge Cranch decided that he had no jurisdiction of the case unless the accused party was brought before him on a writ of habeas corpus, issued after a commitment by Justice Morsell, who issued the warrant. The presence of the Justice was thea obtained, and, with the approbation of the District Attorney, he assented to the reception of bail, in the sum of $44,600, for the appearance of Col. McNulty, and then fixed the examination for to-morrow morning at 10 o’clock. Judge Pot- ter, one of the sureties of Mr. McNulty, to whom he had delivered the certificate of deposite, then left to obtain the concurrence of Mesers. Weller, Tappan and Thomas, the other sureties, to enter the necessary bail for the appearance of Col. Mc- Nulty during the examination. 5 The pled not been entered at the time of my closing this letter, but Cah wetiy will be this evening. John M. Reed, Esq., of Philadelphia, hasjust been retained by Colonel McNulty as his counsel, with Mr. Hoban. : i The debate on the Texas question will probably be closed in the House on Saturday next, and a vote be taken. So, look out for the news on Sun- day at three P. M. Dr. Hammitt, a democrat, of Mississippi, continued the debate to-day in an ar- gumentative speech in favor of annexation, and was followed by Mr. Hudson, a whig, of Massa- chusetts, in opposition, who assumed the strange position that if the annexation of Texas was neces- sary to preserve the institution of slavery in the south, the opponents of Baory at the north would have the same right to eject South Carolina from pe in order to sustain their abolition prin- ciples. s the Senate, Col. Benton made a short speech on annexation, aad the resolutions of instruction sent from his State. He acceded to the resolutions, and avowed that he had always been in favor of the measure, and supported it bysreading extracts from a speech delivered by him some years since, although it would have been amusing it he ha mistaken the ae and presented a paragraph or two from his Boonville address before the Jate Pre- sidentia! election. é The result of the democratic caucus in your Le- gislature for the selection of candidates for State Senators, as announced in the Herald received this morning, has created considerable excitement, and it is alleged that the defeat of Mr. Foster and selection of Mr. Dix was produced by a bargain between the friends of Dickinson and Dix, by which means Mr. Dickinson was nominated for the full term of six years from the fourth of March, and Mr. Dix for the unexpired term of Governor Wright. It is attributed to the interference of Mr. Wright and the particular friends of Mr. Van Bu- ren, and unless Mr. Dix appears here asa decided advocate of annexation, the very devil will be to pay among the rank and file democracy of your State. His appearance here will be watched with interest. Herry C. Atw2od,-the Surveyor of your port, arrived here from New York this morning, and has, returned with documents relative to the duties of his office that must effectually defeat those who have been opposing his confirmation. The secret of the opposition and the parties concerned will stand aghast [Will they teheee their grog?] when their cunning plot is exposed, and New York mer- chants will have their eyes opened to the peculiar courée of the late Secretary of the Treasury in his construction of certain laws. [Poo, poo !] The bill from the Senate for the compromise of the sum due by the securities of Samuel Swart- wout, was referred to the Committee of the Whole on the State of the Union forto-morrow. The One-day Presidential Election bill has fisally passed both Houses, and will receive the sanction of the President. This is the only bill from the House that has been passed during the session. The day of election is fixed for the Tuesday next after the first Monday in November. ‘ Wade Barker, an interesting soa of Major J. N. Barker, formerly of Philadelphia, was accidentally shot through the head about an hour since, by 2 istol that he had in his hands, at his father’s ouse. sum of Wasurneron, Jan. 19, 1845. A bit of Biography concerning the Character and History of C. J. McNulty—Interesting Details connected with his £lection as Clerk of the House —The Moral of his Full, &c. Nolens volens, premeditate and resolved, we have put on the blue stocking to-day, fora didac- tic disquisition. Good, now. Our first postulate, therefore, is, that water has a natural inclination to run down hill; that small shoes have a tendency toa horizontal elongation at the heel; and that men who carry more sail than ballast, are dan- gerous vessels in deep water. Let us apply it. The case of the late clerk of the House is an op- posite subject in illustration. At intervals, we have known that unfortunate man for seven or eight years past. He was at first, we believe, a saddler’s apprentice, in Mount Vernon, Ohio; but being possessed of sprightly talents and a enchant for political polemics—he went ever to Columbus, the State Capital, to study the divinations of the politician. {n 1838 or ’9, he became a reporter of the proceedings of the State Senate for the Ohio Statesman—the writer of this epistle sitting near him in the same capacity for the State Journal—a year or two after he was elected Clerk of the House of Representatives of Uhio; and in 1841 was elected asa member of that body from Knox county, where, cis iy not more than twenty-four years of age, he took the responsible part of a lea- der of the Demecratic majority, in all its discus. sions of a party character, much to the annoyance of older aspirants for the honor. In the fall of °42, determining to run for Congress from the District in which Columbus is included, the older heads of the party finding it impossible to supercede him, except at the hazard of two candidates, settled upon a compromise.— The understanding was closed, that as the demo- crate would have a majority in the then ensuing Congress, the Clerkship of the House would be at their disposal, and that by a unanimous effort on the part of the Ohio democratic delegation, their candidate, in uniting the sympathies of the west- ern men, would unquestionably succeed to the office. General H. A. Moore, of Columbus,(since deceased) was accordingly nominated for Con- gress, and Mr. McNulty withdrew from the poll, acquiescing to the prospective non sequitur of the Clerk’s office of the House of Representatives.— So farso good. Pending this arrangement, Mr. McNulty paid suit to a beautiful and accomplished young lady, a daughter of one of the most reepect- ed families inColumbus. We learn that hisclaim in this relation, was, for a time, contested by the family of the young girl, because of the too s0- ciable disposition (originating in generous im- pulses) of the young gentleman, whose promising career has so suddenly closed. But in view of the prospect of his high and speedy promotion, his suit matrimonial was triumphant. Some days before the meeting of the 28th Con- gress, first session, 1843, Mr. McNulty came for- ward to Washington as the Ohio Democratic can- didate for Clerk of the House. Thejcandidate of the South was Judge Sturgis of Ga.; Mr. French was understood to be a candidate also, but with- drew in tavor of McNulty. There was another candidate, whose awkward position, we think, was the sole cause of his defeat. It was Hon. W. N. Harris (now joint editor of the Constitution) a member of the 27th Congress from the Shenandoah District of Virginia. On the adjournment of the last session of said Congress, Mr. Harris suspect- ing, perhaps, that his district would be cut up in the new apportionment, so as to cut off his chances for renomination, and confident of a democratic majority in the House in the ensuing Congress— confident, too, that Mr. Jones would be the Speak- er, and that the second officer would therefore be appointed from some other State, conceived the brilliant idea of becoming the citizen of some other State, in order to escape this impediment. Mr. Harris accordingly removed to Missouri, with the understanding among his party in the House before the adjournment, that he should be the Clerk. During the summer and fall of ’42, Mr. Harris kept standing in the Globe an advertisement announcing that he was a counsellor-at-law, at Booneville, Missouri. He came on as the Missouri candidate, but the ex- periment was unsuccessful. Young, handsome, and accomplished as a man—experienced as a clerk, and approved—popular, and amiable in his at ee te ‘courteous and generous to all— respectful to his opponents in debate, but firm in his political faita—with an excellent voice, and that easy, polite, and high-toned chivalric be 7 which ever distinguishes nature’s gentleman—his naturalization term of one summer at Boonville was pronounced wnconstitutional ; and upon rock he split. The fact of his hailing from Mi souri was indeed regarded as a rune de guerre sand the members were unwiliing to pay tribute to Vir- ginia under this ogy sage domino—yet, in cau- cus, Mr. Harris was, for a time, the formidable op- ponent to McNulty, and better had it been for all concerned—infinitely better for the expelled clerk, had Mr. Harris succeeded, in spite of his badly considered naturalization experiment at Booneville. From the first, Mr. McNulty was regarded, in the sudden promotion to his new and responsible position, with anxious misgivings, from the renew- ed effervescence of a habit acquired in the excess of sociability ; and now that the painful worst has been experienced, his frie who were most_ar- dent in his elevation, are surprised at their infatu- ation in his behalf. He was elected, not from the spontaneous will of a majority, but by the skilful tacticiana of the Ohio delegation ; he was elected, we apprehend, not altogether on account of his superior recommendations to the office, but ina great measure because hiselection would strength en the democracy of the west, particularly of Ohio. It was an experiment like that of the whigs, when they elected Tyler as Vice President— though satisfied that his early idiosyncrasy was against him, they hoped that his election would bring him all straight. But the result in the twoca- ses is widely different. Mr. Tyler has immortalise his administration and his name by his prudence and integrity to first principles. Mr. McNulty has damned himself, from a desertion of all principle —except the principle of a blind, headlong, reck- less abandonment, to a looseness ‘of personal con- duct sufficient of itself, in the end, independent of embezzlement, to warrant his expulsion. pon this subject—this unfortunate subject— while there was Hope—while there was a shadow of hope, we were silent. But, new, that the worst is confirmed concerning his faithlessness and offi- cial derelictions, while we had the evidence b fore the House the other dey, from his own test men, that he was as indifferent to truth, as he had been to integrite while we are confirmed that an evil habit and evil associations have encrusted him against the compunctinns of moral turpitude, imay We not recommend his cage as an example adverse to the promotion of a man chiefly from the necessities of party expediency. Sine dubio. His talents, though brilliant, were contracted and superficial. He knew something of political economy as detailed from the stump. Possessed of a fine person, good address, a bold and com- manding manner, he was eminently successful as astump orator. This was the secret of vancement. Though firm and consistent ia his political principles, yet ‘he was too frequently an extreme radicalist to command a permanent in- fluence among the magnates of his party. Ot a warm, frauk, and impulsive temperament, he was controlled more by his passions than from the fixed principles of mature judgment, caution, and pru- dence. He had no such fixed principles. Hts early initiation into the schools of party managers of party promotiens, led him into another chann of morals and associations, than taose of steady sobriety and unflinching stability to truth.— The door of the party caucus was the open sesame to distinction—his boldness defied re- sistence to his admission, and his advance- ment. Here, then, was opened before him wealth without labor —repataog without the necessity of a rigid morality—honor without self-denial or ex- hausting diligence to usefulness--influence without limitation ; all these, CA eappecn only on the easy contingency of a plausible exterior, and a fair ac- count of his official duties—the easiest thi the world. But his propensities were stronger than his sense of honor, or his sense of shame. King Alcohol circumvented him. Lady Venus and her cabinet councils bound him fast, and in nine days ne fell a deeply and as irretrievably as Lucifer and is angels. Some friends of the late clerk are confident of the redemption of the entire deficit in his accounts We hope it if so turr outin the end. We be- lieve, now, at nil events, that the late clerk of the House hes not a thousand dollars at his command as anindividual. And thatthe man jally de- ranged, or without parallel ahardened villain, there cannot be a doubt. 3 Sas The conduct of the House in his examination and expulsion is most honorable. The calm and charitable spirit exhibited while hope remained— the equally calm but decisive action of justice when his guilt was affirmed, were worthy of the House of Representatives of the American Con- gress. The final concurrence and co-opera- tion in the sentence by the Ohie Demo- crats_ was noble and true. The researches of Mr. Taylor give him credit;. and the business-like suggestions and deportment of thos business men, Messrs. Jones, Hopkins, and Drom- goole of Va., and Cave Johnson, of Tennessee, were most apposite and appropriate in the proceed- bs gree the late Clerk’s malfeasance. “ Mr. MeNulty has a wife and child in Cincinnati, Ohio. She was, upon,her recovery, to have re- turned to her husband, in Washington, to partici- pate in the crowning victory of his party, the in- auguration of the new President. Beautiful, ac- complisied, and gentle-hearted woman—her pre- sence here, at all hazards, at the opening of the session, would doubtless have contributed’ muc! to save or mitigate the ruin of her hcpes. We have penned these hasty observations as one would write of a dead man; but we cannot refrain from sympathizing with the youns wife and her 1 heart. Sad willbe the news to her, poor girl— “ For, ever the first bringer of unwelcome news Hath but a losing offi and his tongue Sounds ever after as a sullen bell Remembered, knolling a departed friend.” TWENTY-EIGHTH CONGRESS. SECOND SESSION. Ww. In Senate. Wasutneton, Monday, Jan. 20, 1845. Prayer by the Rev. Mr. Dailey. Journal. Mr. Evans presented the credentials from the Government of Maine, of the re-election for six years from 4th March next, of Hon. John Fairfield, to the United States Senate. THE MISSOURI RESOLUTIONS AND HER SENATORS. Mr. BenTen presented a series of resolutions as adopted by the General Assembly of Missouri, on the subject of the annexation of Texas to the Uni- ted States. They are substantially :— 1. That in the opinion of said General perpen the annexation of Texas is a national measure, and would be roductive of rreat national advantages to the United Waites; and that it has beea called for in the expressed opinien of a large majority of the people of the Union. 2. That the Republie of Texas, is to all intents and pur- poses, an independent State 3. That the revolution in Texas was: conse ee outa upon the character of her people ; she has given ample proof of her capability to sustain her independe 4. That the United States is obligated to consult no power upon earth except the State of Texas, in the ques tion of annexation; and that Texas has the right to con- fer, and the United States the right to accept her assent tothe incorporation of her territory and government un- der the government of the United States. Boundary re- commended to a future settlement. 5. That in the opinion of a large mojority of the - le of Missouri, the territory of Texes should be divided foto slaveholding and non slaveholding States, recom- mending, however,a futuze arrangement of such divi- sion. 6 Recommends a piri: of compromise in the consum- mation of the measu:e of annexation. 7. Instructs the Missouri Senators, and requests her re- presentatives in Congress to use their best exertions in obedience to the tenor of the foregoing resolutions. Mr. Benton mone briefly upon the resolutions, and recommended the spirit of compromise in the measure of annexation, as suggested in the 6th of the series. This was particularly desirable to the eople of Missouri, in view of the importance of her overland, trade with Texas and Mexico. Mr. B. read trom a speech of his of the year 1836, when the Texas revolution was going on, illustra- ting his position and bgt std with regard to the cause and the people of Texas. He considered annexation as a great national measure, and depre- cated its ereemen in any attempt to make it @ mere sectional or party measure. r.B expres. sed his approbation of the particular and general Spope of the resolutions. : Z ‘ ir. Atcuison expressed his entire approbation of the resolutions, though he intimated he had been willing to go even farther than the drift of the instructions therein embraced. Referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations, and ordered to be printed. “i MMr. Berrien presented a memorial from the Chamber of Commerce of Savannah, asking cer- tain provisions by Congress for a new Custom House in that city. Referred. Mr. Evans presented a petitition against the an- nexation of Texas. Mr. Archer one for amen ment of the naturalization laws. By Mr. U, from Waldie, Vermont, a solemn protest the annexation of Texas any form wi | teak Bayard, from surgeon: c.,in the U. 8. avy, for assimilated rank. By Mr. Choate, from Middlesex, Mass,, a remonstrance inst annexa- tion. By Mr. Buchanan, from William Fuller and Orlando Saltmarsh, a memorial asking for the pay- ment of a claim of their’s on the Post Office De- partment. By the same Senator, from Spring Garden, Philadelphi petition for a twenty-one ear’s residence in the naturalization of foreigners. y the same, from Hollidaysburg, Pa., a memorial stating that Easton or South Easton is spoken in the House as the site for a national cannon foundry, and pelea rg Seago een as a far more eligible site. By Mr. Sturgeon, a prayer from citi- zens of Pennsylvania for a mitigation of the exor- bitant taxes of the Post Office Department upon letters and papers. Of all of which an appropriate disposition was made. Mr. ALLEN presented a memorial faped by se. veral hundred farmers of Rose and Pickaway counties, Ohio, asking the prompt action of Con- &ress in the establishment of a territorial govern- ment over the te) ry of Oregon. Mr. Avven stated that though this measure em: anated from some of the farmers Us his Stnte, yet the desire tor the extension of our laws over Ore- gon was not confined, in ,Ohio, to that class, nor to any class, but that this desire extended to all classes. During the la mpaign he had tra- the State, had been in almost every count, in it, had shaken hands with countless thousands of the people in all directions, and yet he had not met with a single individual who was to this extention of the laws of the United States over Oregon, that unprotected portion of out right- ful soil. Laid on the table, as there isa bill be- fore the Senate meeting the prayer of the memo- rial By Mr. Bunton, from General Keim, late a lieu- tenant in the United States service, for compensa- tion for services in extending the researc! Bei hical science in the far west. Referred. t. WaLxge reported a bill to enable the Chick- asaw nation to prosecute their claims against the United States (as understood ) {Several es were reported by John Tyler, Jr., from John Tyler, Sr., to the Senate, when young Jehn politely withdrew.) Mr. Porter presented a remonstrance from Northern Ohio, two memori annexation—on the ground } der the harmony of the Unioa—unjust to the non- slaveholding States; and a usurpation of power on the part of Congress. Referred. — Several adverse reports upon private cases, were made by Mr. Jarnagin. Mr. Fosrrr, from New York, presented a memo- rial for the relundinj of certain duties, paid upon merchandize entitled to debenture. Several private bills were reperted. Mr. Bayarp reported a bill to amend the act providing for the enlistment of boys in the naval service of the United States. Read and referred. LUIGI PERS:CO : f Mr. Crirrenpen offered a resolution instructing the Committee on the Lib to inquire into the propriety or employing Luigi Persico, the sculptor, to make an equestrian statue of bronze of Gen. George Washington. Mr. Crrrrenpen said that the talents of the artist, Persico, so long in the employ of the United States, were well known. The object of the statue it was unnecessary to . The pride of the country could never be exhausted by multiplying the me- morials of the father of his country. The resolu- tion was adopted. s [We have seen Mr. Persico’s model of this pro- pos tue. It represents Washington in military dress, chapeau in hand, on a race nag, which has a bob-tail, and a plaited mane. The animal is in the: attitude of the cautious walk of a blind horse over a crazy bridge. But the artist will doubtless give somet! ingore of character to the animal in the statue. The figure of Washington is good— its attitude and expression is very appropriate. ] Several! adverse reperts upon private claims were agreed to. ‘The regular order for the reduction of the rates of postage, &c., coming up, it was postponed on Mr. Merrick’s motion, until the report of the Post Master General on the subiect of the operation of enny postages in England, should be printed and jaid betore the Senate, that they have the ad- cane of said report in discussing the merits of the bill. : ; The bill providing for the settlement of claims arising from French spoliations, &c., coming up, ic was laid aside informally, on Mr. Choate’s mo- tion, for consideration on a future day. e A bill regulating the appointment and promotion of officersin the United States Revenue Marine was ordered to be engrossed. f The bill for the payment of an ascertained bal- ance due from the United States to the State of Massachusetts for military services in the late war, coming up for a third reading, the ayes and noes were called, and resulted—ayes 27—noes 17. ___ The bill for the relief of Joshua Shaw, (of Phila- delphia,) the inventor, or alleged inventor of per- cussion caps, after some debate, was ordered to be engrossed. TRE POST OFFICE AND THE RAIL ROADS. __ » The bill providing for permanent contracts with tailroad companies, was taken up asin committee ‘of the whole. i (The bili authorisesthe Postmaster General to contract for a term of years, or an indefinite term at his diseretion, with the railroad companies o' the United States upon terms not exceeding 4} per eent interest in cash down, at the presentrates paid, upon the whole term of the contract. Con- tracts subject to the action of Congress before they can go into effect.) i Mr. Bucuanan said that the bill was import- ant, and involved important principles, as also the expenditure of a vast amount of public money, one he suggested, therefore, that the bill lie over or a time. Mr. Mgrricx said he had no objection to post- pone it a reasonable time. ' ill, however, was independent of any other bill—it nothing to do with the reduction of poster and required the assent of Congress to the contracts proposed. It was a mere experiment—that’s all. The contracts must be approved by Congress: Mr. Mrtrer appeared to think the bill too im- portant to be hastily considered. The contracts proposed were liable to great extortions upon the government. ' iy _,Mr. Merrick—They will have§ao force, sir, un- til approved by Congress. , Mr. Mitter—But we know what force the Post Master General exerts in recommending a measure to Congress. i A Mr. Bucuanan opposed the proposition of going into debt to the extent of 44 per cent upon these contracts. i Mr. Merrick explained. Mr. Huntineron op} d these permanent con- tracts, and preferred that the government have the privilege of holding itself ready to take advantage of the competition of the new lines that are or may be springing up over the country. 4 t. BUCHANAN argued that it would require @ capital of $20,000,000 to set this plan of permanent contracts into succesaful operation with the several railroad companies in the United States. _ Mr. Crayton spoke to Mr. Buchanan privately. Mr. Bucuanan said that was a very important suggestion, indeed. If the government should make permanent contracts with railroad compa. nies, we could not hold them to thej bargain.— They would violate the law if they pleased, and though you might sue them for damages, they could take shelter under the insolvent laws. Mr. B. suggested that the bill be postponed two weeks, and that then the Senator would consent not to take it up at all. . Mr Fosrsr, of N. Y., presented another objec- tion with regard to the New York Railroads, in the 10 per cent interest contracts with the State. — Mr. Merrick most vigorously urged the necesei- ty of the bill, from the present precarious and fluc- tuating arrangements upon the railroade, for the transportation of the public mails. = = r. Baasy argued its unconstitutionality. He had thought it the policy of the Government to disconnect itself {rom all corporations whatsoever. And as to submission to the exactions of these railroads, he would sooner see the Department go down than to see it bow to these Corporations. Rather see it go down, sir. Mr. B. suggested that instead of two weeks’ Poatnoneitient the billshould be postponed ven, M. Merrick insisted that the Government was connected with these Corporations all the time. It couldn’t be helped. And the only thing proposed in the bill was the advantage of the Department in the extension of contracts—that’s all. Mr. Baasy maintained that the project was not strictly after the spirit of the Constitution, and moved, therefore, the bill be indefinitely postponed. Mr. Nives, at some length, cleared away the ob- jections of Mr Bagby sufficiently, ene would have thought, to fy the honorable Senator of the very abstract and intangible obetacles he had pre- sented, but ee : Mr. Bacny maintained his position—the project was nothing more in the end than making the government a joint stock company in these corpor- ation. At last, however, as the hour was growing late, a compromise was effected, Mr. Bagby withdrew his motion to postpone indefinitely, and Mr. Bu- chanan’s motion to Jay the bill aside for two weeks was agreed to. And, unanimously, the Senate voted an adjourn- ment. House of Representatives. Wasninaron, Monday, Jan. 20, 1848. Mr. McKay introduced a bill priations for the purpose of completing fortifications, ke., for the fis- cal year, which was read twice and referred. ~ ir Stipe, of La, offered a resolution, that the Secre- tary of the Treasury be directed to furnish to the House, information respect pies amount of dutieson imports, for the Pgs from Eo Feed to aa = ao the weighers, inspectors, ers em) jew York tod Orleans were sufficient.
