The Episode in the Senate—Mr. Mr. Ingersoll. ‘Webster and During the last week a very remarkable episode | has taken place in the proceedings of Congress, which w s rather an agreeable, but startling, diver- sification of the hitherto monotonous speeches on the Oregon, sub-treasury, and other matters. We allude to the singular and curious parsage which has eprung up, between Mr. Webster and his friends | on one side, and Mr. Ingersoll, Mr. Dickinson, and their friends, on the other side, in both houses. This passage, and the war of words upon it, has probably more meaning, and is intended to produce @ more important influence on succeeding events, than people may be at first apt to imagine. We have given, in another column, some singular deve- Jopements, procured by our correspondent at Wash- ingtoa, relative to this matter, which we have not seen alluded toin any of the debates in Congrese, | and whici: will undoubtedly give a new direction to this extruvtdinary episode, in both houses of Congress. It appears that the friends of Mr. Webster are charging Mr. li soll and his associates in the de. velopements that he has made relative tothe Ashbur- ton treaty, with having formed a conspiracy to des- troy this distinzuished man, and prevent his useful- nees as Senator in Congress, onthe pending im- portant matters, both foreign and domestic. {t will be recollected that this episode originated in a speech made by Mr. Ingersoll in the House, in | which certain charges were preferred against Mr. Webster, connected with his conduct on the Ash- burton negotiation and the case of McLeod. These charges were repeated by Mr. Dickinson in the Se. nate, and on Monday Ist Mr. Webster commenced his reply—a reply which has astonished the whole country, and which is said by his friends to annihi- late hig antagonists. Ingersoll now comes forward an the House, and ca'ls for several papere, letters, and other documents, in the Department of State, in order to sustain his charges, which motion has been sanctioned by the House—all of which has produced a feeling of bitterness and excitement that may lead to various other matters and devel- opements hereafter. A great curiosity has been formed, to know what the nature of the chargea against Mr. Webster may be ;and our Washington correspondent, for the firat time, discloses what their character 1s expected to be. It appears that there is a variety of correspondence a0 the State department, showing thatMr. Webster used the secret service money for the purpose of “‘ regulating” the press on the frontier, during the | McLeod trial, and that one of the agents was # Mr. Smith, formerly a member of Congress. This movement js called corruption, abomination, and ; will be examined on the occasion, and have heard ‘The Cnarter Election—Mayor, To-morrow a very unfortunate event takes place in New York.

Ifhe | had been able to solve the awful mystery of his own purposes at that early day, he might now, (for‘he is a good and efficient man,) have united the votes of all those opposed to misrule and extravagance, and thus have given us hopes of turning out the present | | Party. As«ratters now stand, and as things look, | we must submit to misgovernment for another year. Dancrvo—Taz Creroy—Brack Matt anv Lirsr- | | avung.—Dauring the last few weeks and monthe— | part of the time being absent—several small sums of money have been seat by anonymous personages to the proprietor of this journal, purporting to eome from particular and special! friends of certain artists, male and female, now before the public, and re- questing us to give them notices and recommenda- tions, so as to forward them in their protessiun.— This is, probably, meant for what is culled “black mail,” sent through the quarter from which it comes tous.

Yet many of those artists, led astray by the miser- able calumniators of the New York Herald, have sup~ posed that reputation cun be purchased in this way; but they have generally found out their mistake be- | has been, to advance all arts and artists, on their i dividual merits, without regard to any other con: deration, to give full encouragement to genius and such it shall continue to be. | This is the wisdom of the politicians. Heaven save | the mark. | Sineutar Ling Surt~Wass vs. Bacor.—A | very remarkable libel suit wili probably come up in | a day ortwo, before the Superior Court, in a trial | between Mr Webb, of the Courier and Enquirer, | and Dr. Bacon, the celebrated author of the “Mys- | tery of Iniquity,” inthe American Review. What gives particular interest to this trial, is its connec: | tion with Daniel Webster, or the character of some of his friends, growing out of some imputed af- | | fairs or business transactions, between those friends | | and the Courier and Enquirer. ‘The suit was commenced by Webb against Ba- | con, who cut him up ina publication made by the latter inthe Tribune, in which it is charged, or in- | sinuated, that the Courier and Enquirer, after at- | | tacking and abusing Daniel Webster in relation to _ the negotiations on the Ashburton treaty, had tuca- | | ed round, in consequence of certain secret influences of a peculiar kind, and supported him and hisfriends | forever ater. What the nature of the evidence will be, is hardly known, asyet ; but from several intimations, and certain paragraphs in the Courier { and Enquirer, we suppose it will be interesting to the public. We understand thata variety of the | most distinguished men of the two great parties | named Governor Seward, C. C. Cambreleng, P. P. | | Blatchtord, Moses H.

Io furtherance of our ideas, we hereby offer the seven- ty dollars, now in our hands, as intimated above, to the b-st writer of an essay on dancing, on the prin- | ciples of common sense; and we hereby request | certain literary gentlemen to decide on the merits of the articies in question—numberiag for that pur- pose Fitz Green Halleck, Fenimore Cooper, George ¥.

Cutta, of the brig Hayti, from Port au Prince, having left that place on the 30th ult., that matters, in a political way, were gradually assuming a peage- ful appearance, and that Ex-President Pierot had sent in his submission to the new administration. | A rumor was prevalent when he left, that the Domi- nicans had made a proposition of peace to the Hay- tiens, which would no doubt be accepted. The principles of the new government, under President Riché, seem to meet with general approba- tion, The inhabitants now are permitted to cut ma- hogany, and other c@ncessions granted to them, which, under the old administration, was deemed unconstitutional. The Island was very healthy; coffee scarce and high. From files of the Manifeste and Le Moniteur, we derive the following further information of the re- volution, and of the present posture of affairs in Hayti, with respect to Pierot, the fallen President: After the installation of General Riché into his new office of President, by the acclamations of the sol- diery and a miscellaneous mob of pron assembled for the occasion, a deputation was despatched to | President Pierot, who was at the Cape, to inform him that he had ceased to be President. This de- | putation proceeded to fulfil the. charge committed | to it, and on arriving at Ci a Haytien immediately | proceeded to make the disagresable communica- tion to the President. The reception they met with trom him is described by them as being eingula:ly | brutal and unbecoming. M. Hyppolite, the former Seoretary of State and chief adviser of President Pierot, is represented also as having acted in very eavage and ferocious: manner to the deputie: as well as his master—the President. They es- | caped only with difficulty, and by an effort of great | firmness, from the application of personal violence on the part of the two infuriated and fallen chi It seems that Pierot, at the first account of the re- volution, had made up his mind to abdicate and re- | tire peaceably. He atterwards, however, changed his mind and resolved upon other counsels. which | it is feared may lead to much disorder and blood- | shed. This change of determination is attributed |to M. Hyppolite, the secretary, who is re- i} | ported to have said, ‘‘Even should my coun- | try perish in the convulsions of civil war, I | fant will support the sovcrenens ot President Pierot, which is the only legal government, and I will re- | sist, tothe last, the oppression which the West | | seeks to inflict upon the North.” In pursuance of | this declaration he received the deputation with | the grossest abuse and insolence, and even used to | them such foul and indecent language as, it is said, | | by those who heard it, would be a violation of pub- | lie decency to mention or report. It seems highly probable that the late revolution was brought about 1n the firat place, indirectly and proxi mately, by the | | imprudent steps taken a short time before by Pre- | | sident Pierot, of removing the seat of government | | from Port au Prince to Cape Haytien. This step | was naturelly enough very little relished by the peo- | | ple et Port au Prince, and it was their tumultu- | ous voices, joined by the military, which declared | Riché President, and deposed Pierot. Tne Secre- | tary, Hyppolite, seems to have possessed more sa- | racity than his master, for he vehemently opposed | | thie change, but ia vai Meantime Pierot aster of the Cape, and maintains the place ; xpected that Riché will shortly march against him, and that a civil war will | |B the consequence, if Pierot is not quickly put | | down. | with Pierot at Cape Hayuien, are said to have gone | | overto Riché, and left the city tosubmit themselves | to the new order of things. te are marching | | out of the city, (Port au Prince, March, 22ud,) to | attacktheCape Should Riché take the place, he | | will, it is threatened, inflict terrible and bloody val: ‘We know very littie of what is going on in | . in cavalry § | tal force, say 4000 men, about helf of | quired.” | ‘VThe Civitian gives the result of the election in that | county for Congress, viz :—Williama, 449 ; Pilsbury, 69; Cooke, 8 ; Lewis, 7; Meg:inson,7; Green, 1. | | | Mr McKinney, the Senator irom Galveston, requests Some of the _troopa and officers, who were | 8! y Interesting from Texas and Mexico. mea [From the New Orleans ci x the arrival of the Galveston, Captain ‘ | howto from Gulveston, we are in rece! iptof late Texas ttentive se! +: Jorpus Chile Geartte contains a letter from Ma- | tamoras, dated the 13:h March, from which we make the following extract.

We should hke to know the whole; and while Mr. Ingersoll has his fingers in the fire, and is bringing to light the secrets of the | Ashburton treaty, we hope some one will bring forth the secrets of the other movements and negotiations We ought to have no secrets in this country. This matter, however, begins to have a singular aspect, and may have an important bearing on grea | political movements hereafter. On the Oregon ques tion, by a singular concurrence of events, Mr. Web- ster, Mr. Calhoun, and Mr. Benton seem to be all in favor of 49—~all embarked in the same canoe. Now Mr. Calhoun and Mr. Benton have hitherto been powertul men in the democratic party ; if, therefore, @ reveletion of the secrets and private acts—acts leading to the Ashburton negotiation—would sink Mr Webster in public estimation on the Northeast” ern boundary, might they not help to sink the boat that now contains all these three statesmen, on the latitude of 49, on the Northwestern boundary ? The investigating the conduct of Mr. Webster, in this matter, may then have an important bearing on pend- ing questions, and particularly the Oregon question, and on men and their positions, in Washington and throughout the country. We do not participate ia any of the extraordinary opinions regarding the virtues or vices of the great men of the present day. We do not believe that they are all 48 pure asthe angels in the sevepth heaven. God forbid that we should do them such injustice. Neither do we believe that they are as bad as the devils inhell. Webster and Ingersoll, and their re- spective troops of friends, have vices and virtues mingled in their composition, according to cer- tain sensible proportions; and those virtues we arejalways ready to appreciate, to set forth, and eacourage. Their vices, it we could, we would pall up by the roots, and cast them into utter dara- ness, never to be again heard of, except to use a8 brushwoed for kindling fires. But as we can't do this thing, we must be content with them in their present mixed condition. We therefore hope that their secret acts will be brought forth, for by these we may learn something more of men than we | have ever known. We continue tolearn more, as ‘we become better acquainted with the world. There will be terrible debates, and perhaps duels, @rowing out of this episode, before Congress adjourns ; and possibly the members may forget the Oregon question, and everything elee. So that there is a prospect of some coming from it. So, go ahead. ais Mong Startiine Corporation DevaLoreMeNts.— We understand that an investi on in the City Hall, relative to the loads of manure charged to the Corporation during the year.

He has a squad of 700 boys, or young men, juat of age, who iatend to reside twenty four hours in the ward, and thus to qualify themselves for voting. They mean to give plumpers each for Dixon, and | the chances are in their favor. It will be an odd electuon. One thing is certain, if Dixon were to be elected Assistant, hs would keep the streets of the Second ward clean, and that is more | \ than any other has yet done.

A wise administration will, therefore, avoid, as much as possi ble, these sudden extremes, and adopt, as gradually as possible, any changes contemplated in its flasncial or commercial systems. We have much confijence in the wisdom of the Senate, in relation to this measure; we trust to the experience of the ieading spirits in thet body, with the belief that whatever alterations they may meke, or whatever system they may edopt, will be as perfect as possible to make them. Men of master minds, who have devoted their whole lives to the consideration of commercial and foancial systems, cor tainly have hed more facilities for testing questions con- nected with them, and their suggestions are entitled to more confidence than the statements of sll the back presidents and directors in the country. We do not look for that party prejudice in the Senate, that we se often | see in the House. The intrinsic merits of any messure, have more weight in the upper than in the lower House, and we can, therefore, depend upon that bedy to prevent the adoption of any imperfect law, and upon the introduction of all necessary improvements betore it goes into operation. The subtreasury law, under the modifications anticipated, will, without donb’, go into eperation as soon as contemplated by the House—that is, the frst of July, 1646. At that time, the banks will be deprived of the government deposits; at least from any accumula- tion of the ‘eposits. The revenue will, doubtless, go into the hands of the Receivers’ General, just as though the specie clauses were in fall operation from the start. | This will place as many restrictions upon the banks as contemplated under the Mouse bill, and compel them to keep up a steady contraction, and will, therefore, keep the money market in @ very stringent coniition. The time required for them to bring their isemes down to a specie basis, will, it is true, be lengthened ; but tbat it will afford any particalar relief to the money market, is ‘a matter of much doubt. It is aquestion, whether any more latitude is desirable, as any exoansion would lead to an extension of business, which would require eventually a greater contraction than that we have recently experienced. ‘We are now in a condition to adopt the most restricted financial system the government can possibly adopt— that is, there bas net been, since the lest sub treasury Dill went into operation, a more favorable period to commenee a specie system, than the presen’.
