Mr. Baiant gave notice that he should/ask the Se nate to devote to-morrow to uncontested private bills. STATE COLLEGES. | Onmotion of Mr. Turse, the bill to ir cer- | tain lands to the States, for the purpose af endowing State Colleges, was taken up and passed. Ral ROAD TO OREGON. © Mr. Brexse from the committee on public. }) made report, accompanied by a bill, granting to Asa Whit- ney and his associates, for the:constructio! to Oregon, all the public lands within thirty miles each side of it, and asked that they be printed. Mr. Benton was astonished that a Projeqt'so ridicu- lous should have found its way intothe Senate. He should not be surprised after this, if individuals should offer to administer the government for a stipulated sum annually, and to see the proposition entertained. Mr. Bares defended the project as one of vast im- portance, on which the committee have reported unani- mously. . Messrs. Chalmers, Woodbridge and Moorehead were in favor of printing the report for information. Mr. Benton said he would produce a large map made by Mr. Frémont, to-morrow, which would show the to be impracticable. He moved to lay the whole subj on the table. The Senate refused to lay it on the table, and ordered the report printed. THE COLUMBIA RIVER. Mr. Benton presented a letter from an officer of the | exploring expedition, giving the result of a survey of the mouth of Columbia river, differing essentially from the report made by Capt. Wilkes, and asked that it be print- ed. Referred to the committee on printing. ‘THE TEXAS Navy. The Senate then took up the Texas Navy bill. Mr. Houston spoke at length in its favor, appealing to the honor of the Senate to redeem the pledge given in the act of annexation He said Texas demanded it as a right, and did not ask it asa favor. The bill was further advocated by Messrs. Rusk, Cal- houn and Yulee; and opposed by Messrs. Huntington, Breese, Fairfield and Dickinson, and then indefinitely postponed—yeas 31, nays 18, MR. WALKER’S LETTER, Mr. Lewis moved to print 5,000 extra copies of Secre- tary Walker's letter of the 23d July. Laid on the table. | THE sUB. The Sub-Treasury Bill was then taken up. The ques- tion being on its final passage, Mr. Lewis desired to cor- rect an error in the telegraphic report of Wednesday upon the bil, in which was stated an amendment to the 2ist section, the object of which was to authorize the issue of paper money by the government without limit, in the shape of Treasury Drafts in sums of $50, $200, $500, and strongly opposed by Mr. Benton as changing the whole principle of the bill, and making the Sub- Treasury nothing more than a mammoth bank of issue. Mr Lewis defended the amendment, which was offered upon the recommendation of the Secretary of the Trea- | sury, and said without it the bill would not be earried out He said this report represented him as defending the amendment, on the ground that its object was to au- thorize the issue of an unlimited amount of Treasury Drafts for circulation. He had advocated it upon no such grounds, but had expressly denied that such would be its effects. A fow words passed in an under tone, in which the jatter was understood to say, that the Secretary of the ‘Treasury did not deny it. | Mr. Evans then spoke at length against the bill, as | wholly unnecessary, inoperative and inexpedient. Mr Heuxtrxoton made some brief remarks in oppesi- | tionto the bill, which he thought could do no good but a great deal of mischief. | Mr Wensrer obtained the floor,but will not speak un- til to-morrow. NAVY APPROPRIATION. The Navy Appropriation Bill was then taken up, and after some discussion and the adoption of some amend- ments, at 5 o’clock the Senate adjourned. House of Representatives. THE WAREHOUSING BILS. After a call of the House had been made, it was re- solved to go into Committee of the Whole, and take up | the Warehousing Bill from the Senate. | The Speaker called Mr. Hopkins to the chair. | The Crenx read the bill through. | Mr. Hituranp took the floor,and embraced the occasion | to define his position onthe Tariff question. He was for a medium course of policy, and would go for a Tariff that should be, as it ought, he said, strictly a financial | measure. should have nothing to do with it. Mr. Truman Smit replied with great warmth and that it was a personal attack, which che gentleman had no cause for making. Mr. Bayty next took the floor, and made a speech like the other on the tariff. | Mr. Pave followed,and defended Mr. Hilliard as an up- right man, with a heart in the right place, and ridiculed the idea that the new tariff law would be repealed. Mr. Stewart next got the floor, and made an animated | speech in favor of the protective policy. The Commit- | tee then rose and the House adjourned. No Southern mail South of Richmond | BY THE MAILS. | Wasuineton, July 30, 1846. | Political Movements—Split in the Whig Party— | Maneuvering of Gen. Scott’s Lriends—How the Tariff Bill was Carried—Pilgrimage to Ashland of an Ex-Governor of New Jersey—Its Object and Result—Mr. Clay—Mr. Webster—Mr.Crit- tenden. There is an intensely exciting and interesting game at present being played by various promi- | nent members of the whig party, which game is | well worth attention. Those who are engaged in it are impressed with the idea that all the plans, | plots, schemes, and speculations, are profound | riddies to the rest of the world. I will convince | them that they are under a grievous mistake. In the first place, then, ever since the meeting of Congress in December last, there have been various indications given out, from time to time, here at Washington, by some members of the whig party, that Gen. Scott ought, would, should, and must be the whig candidate for the Presiden- cy in 1848. From this, on the part of other mem- | bers of the whig party, there was strong dissent. Two certain editors of leading whig journals in New York, one of wom is identitied with cer- tain transactions connected with the defunct United States Bank, and the other of whom has allalong clung to the fortunes of Mr. Clay, per- formed divers journeys between New York and hington, for the purpose of holding consulta- a tious with leading whigs—each put forth the | claims of his favorite, and the whigs ‘livided off into two sections, ove of which is determined to bring forward Henry Clay again, and the other is | bent on following the fortunes of Gen. Scott. One of the before-mentioned editors has since | become the mouth-piece of the Scott party, and has defended the General through evil | report and good—soup and all. These two sections are now anything but friendly to each other. You can as easily trace the line of demar- cation that devides them in the Senate, as you can that between the whigs and wemociats.

Now it so.appened that this same | Ex-Governor had been instrumental in defeating | Mr. Clay’s nomination in 1840, and Mr. Clay was | perfectly conversant with the entire transaction, although his visi:er was not aware of the fact. He was received by Mr. Clay with the venerable old gentleman’s characteristic courtesy, and was | treated with the utmost hospitality. But on the subject of politics, Mr.Clay was entirely reserved —so much so, that his visitercame away with recisely the same amount of information as that ie had taken to Ashland. jRespecting General Scott, Mr. Clay was particularly impracticable. Ever since the Ex-Governor has been an ardent heupporter of the Scott interest—soup and all. e friends of Gen. Scott are endeavoring to got Mr. Webster to unite with them. But the distin- guished Massachusetts Senator has hitherto fought y of them—although he listens to all they have | wo'say. Should he take sides, he will most proba- for Gen. Scott. But I doubt whether he | willinterfere. He bides his time. This is the situation of the Whi sent. Should Mr Clay be prevented by ill health or any other cause from accepting the nomina- tion, Mr. Crittenden is fixed upon among the Clay ‘Whigs as his successor. Should Mr. Clay be elect- ed, Mr. Crittenden will, of course, take a promi- nentposition in the Cabinet. I will have some- thing more te say on this matter in a few days. GaLvignsis, Wasuineron July 30, 1846. | There is a marked distinction between the duty of a contributor to an independent paper, and the requisitions of a writer for a party press.— We recognize the distinction, and in appropria- ting its advantages to the public benefit, we con- cede nothing of our personal preferences. It be- comes us, then, irrespective of parties, and party measures, to discuss the proceedings of the go- vernment over the whole of the broad margin of our unrestricted privilege. Placed upon neu- tral ground, it is a duty to preserve a neutral po- | sition. We shall, therefore, strike right and left, against all encroachments upon the field of eur jurisdiction, with a deliberate indifference to party inflictions. There can only be one interpretation of the casting vote of the Vice President. The people | with him are the democratic party—the will of | majorities allows no voice to minorities—they are | at pre- anullity. Had he been a whig Vice President, his | vote, even il he were a South Carelinian, would have been treasonable, if cast against the predomi- | nant voice of the party overthe whole Union. The | rule applies not less te to Mr. Dallas, ‘as he stands. H» had but one course to pursue. The administration is a perty thing, and as a part part of ithis action must be consistent with the tenure of his appointment. His abandonment, therefore, of Pennsylvania was the result of | a rigid fidelity to his party obligations, which | are the paramount law of statesmen in of: office, as well as of the politicians aspiring to the rewards of party services. His vote was not to be drawn between the tie upon the engrossment of the tariff, but in obedience to the predominance of his party, which stood as 27 to3. This 1s decidedly a clearer exposition of the vote of Mr Dallas, and its justification, than he has given himself; and we ghallenge you that it is | the only true one. The Pennsylvanians have, therefore, no right to condemn him, for she was | but as one State to eleven, with six half States | against her. He would have been a traitor to his party had he given a decision in her favor. The | whole } arty elected him, and his obligations were just as strong to South Carolina as to the Keystone | tate. The consequences of the act were no- | thing—his good faith to the party: at large every | thing. He rightly understood his position, and | his sympathy tor brome Hare was ail that she | had a right to expect. True, “ soft words butter ee parsnips,” but they are Letter than downright abuse. The Sub-Treasury was ordered to a third read- | ing today. Fortwo days past Old Bullion, se- conded with great ability by Mr. Allen, has been contending for hard money against Mr. Lewisand | | Mr. Calhoun, who wished the privilege of drafts, | except in cases where they “* cannot be disbursed | | atpar.” This provision would have made the Sub-Treasury the very embodiment of John Ty- ler’s Exchequer, which was only a national bank | divested of the privilege of discounts. The amend- | ment was rejected, 40 to 12, all the whigs going | with Old Builion and his friends for Ean | the | | Sub-Treasury to gold and silver. We regard this | as a most signal defeat of Mr. Walker; and the \- Pereeveriog tenacity of Mr. Lewis, and the elo- uence of his appeal to his party friends to give the system a “creep-ouv” hole, sufficiently indi- | cate their apprehensions tat the measure, with- | out some such expedient, will hardly be permitted a fairexperiment.

Respectfully, Tur Doctor. | Wasuineton, July 30, 1846, | Railroad to Oregon—The Tariff Billi—The Speaker, &c. Mr. Thomasson, of Kentucky, with a prompti- tude that entitles him to commendation, anda wisdom that looks to the future, has introduced into the House of Representatives a bill to con- struct a railroad from this district to the Colum! river. The views that governed him are, asI have | been informed, that the citizens of the United States in Oregon do, on account of their great dis- tance from the seat of government, and their ex- | posed frontier position, require the parental at- | tention and fostering care of the general govern- ment; and in no way ean this be as effectually | accomplished as hy increasing the facilities of in- | tercommunication. The proposed road, he says, will enable the traveller to pass from the Atlantic to the Pacific in one week, ata speed equal to | about twenty-five miles per hour; and this will enable our brethren in Oregon toavail themselves | of all the improvements in the older States. It | will give them mail facilities, and, better than all, | it will encourage frequent visiting, and thereby | keep us in remembrance that we are kindred of the same honsehold, It is thought that a cheap | | and rapid conveyance across the North American | continent might be the means ot attracting a larger portion of the trade between Europe and China to such route, in pretecetiee to donbiin, | either Cape Horn or Good Hope. Should this enc | be attained, no man can fail to admit the cost of | the road would prove a trifle, compared with the | great advantages which would result from it.— e opinion is enteriamed that it would enable importers from China to receive their goods at Liverpool by the proposed road very nearly as cheap as by the present sea route, with a saving | Consciousness to 1 | write, under discussion. | through with all his might, although he is assagled | sort of a believer in the doctrine that “to the viciors be- | adopted the contract system, and he was intormed that by They of not less than fort days on the voyage,— | but was willing to place this propored jeene off 4 Should such be the result we will be- | come the carriers for nearly half of chris- tendom, and it will give us a commandin and controlling influence among nations. should be constantly borne in mind that our se tlement upon the Pacific brings us im juxta-posi- tion with Russia, a most formidable pow er; differing from us in language, religion and ha- bits, and even in pursuits, to some extent, A uid vel, often averts ma- icious assaults. ‘Thatnatioa is pow industriously | engaged, under the guidance of American skill, in eheckering her vast territories with railroads, so that, in a few hours, her colossal army may be | t | concentrated at any named point. Thus circum- stanced, prudence as well as salety warns us that we shouid not disregard the monitions of experi- ence, but make provision for our certain protec- tion. The proposed railroad would be four thou- sand miles in length, calculating the western line of the State of Missouri as hall way—the whole cost is fixed at one hundred and seventy-one mil- lions of dollars. No money is to be taken from the treasury for this purpose, but an appropria- tion of lands. Mr. Thomasson informed me to- day, that he believed no substantial reasons can be urged against it. ¥ The Speaker, soon after the meeting of the House, signed the bill to reduce the duties on im- ports. Mr. Speaker Davis rode up the avenue yester- day with the British Minister, from the capitol. Me.

This bill provides that the’ printing of the 1wo houses of Congress be done by contract; and of course throws Father Ritchie out of that portion of patronage.

With some conversation the point was given up, and the resolution for doing the printing by contract was continued before the Senate : Westcort, though anxious to disconnect the party press from the public printing, thought that this | contract system was more liable to frauds than any other. + Mr. Nixes said the resolution had two objects in view. The first was economy, and the second was to detach the government printing from the peste, press. In both | respects Mr. Niles was of the opinion that the contract system would be eminently successful. Mr. Jonsson, of Maryland, for the contract system, exposed certain extraordinary expenses under the exist- ing sy stem. j itr Sevan was oj to the resolution.
