TWENTY-NINTH CONGRESS. Second Session. In Senate. Wasninaron, Dec. 10, 1846. The Vice-President presented the Report of the Sec. retary of War,of the killed and wounded in the battles of Palo Alo and Ressca dela Palma. Also, Resort of the Superintendent of the Cogst Surveys, and the Report of the Secretary of the Treasury. Mr. Cartrenven, of Kentucky, then offered a resolu. tion that provision should be made to increase the pay of such officers, musicians and privates, both of the regular and volunteer corps, as had distingutshed themselves in the Mexican war. MThe same Senator also ggve notice that he should st some early day introduce a bill for the improvement of the Western rivers. " Mr. Yuuee, of Flerida, presented a resolution instruct- ing the Naval Committee to bring in a bill for the con- struction of a dry dock at Pensacola. Mr. Luwis, of Alabama, offered a resolution authoris- ing the Vice-President to appoint all standing commit- tees. ‘This was warmly opposed by Messrs. Westcott, of Florida, and Mangum, of North Carolina; to these Mr. Lewis replied. The motion was put, and loat, by a vote of 16 to 23. On motion of Mr. Sevsen, of Arkansas, Monday next, at Lo’clock, was designated as the time for the election of committees. Mr. Asnuxy, of Arkansas, notified the Sonate, that he intended shorily to introduce a bill for the graduation of tho sales of public lands. The resolution offered yesterday by Gen. Camenon, granting 160 acres of land to each volunteer or his heirs, ‘and an increase of pay, was adopted. The General ex- plained the object. ‘The joint resolution appointing a committee to super. gotend the purchase of books, &c., forthe library was adopted. Mr. Sempre, of Illinois, tendered a resolution calling on the President for information relative to the manner of transmitting letters to and from volunteers at the seat of our army’s operations. Senators were sllowed the privi- lege of withdrawing papers, &c. On motion of Mr. Ancixn,of Virginia, the Senate went om executive session, after which it adjourned to Mon- ry. House of Representatives. The motion of Mr. Gannett Davis, of Kentucky, re- questing documents, &c., of the President, was the first Dusiness in order. The motion was so modified as to make further demands of the President, calling on him tostate, through the Secretary of War, whether the Present wer with Mexico was waged with a view to con- quest, or to What extent he designed to prosecute it. It was also added, thet the information communicated should be received with closed doors. Mr. Danaagn, of Pennsylvania, being entitled to the floor, rose and made a speech of an hour's length, in fa- vor of the resolution. He went into an examination of the President’s message, and denounced it in severe terms. The message, said Mr. Darragh, is a ounpingly devised instrument ; war is to be denounced as a dread” ful and unnecessary evil. He dwelt with much sarcasm ‘and bitter comment on the reasons assigned by the Exe- cutive, for permitting the return of Santa Anna. The gentleman sat down and was replied to by Mr. Stanton, of Tennessee, who contended that the Fesolution had for its object, designs much deeper then @ppesred on the face of it. He defended the course of the President. With regard to the question under con- sideration, it was answered in the message. The war ‘was not one of conquest ; but was solely to enforce jus- tice on Mexico. Mr. Sxpoor, of Virginia, thought the ducussion was altogether premature. He could not exactly agree with the views of his democratic friend on this sub- ject. He stated what he considered equity and the laws of nations demand of us. They demand that we should punish Mexico, and enferce indemni- floation for the wrongs we have suffered. These claims did not necessarily look to conquest. The right of the Executive extends no further than to establish provi sional governments, which he has done; but legislative right may alter and amend them. He contended that the message was strictly in sccofdance with natiane! lew. Mr. Woopwaan. of ovuth Carolina, then gave his in- torpretation of the laws of nations. Mr. Born, of Kentucky, obtained the floor. Finally | the question was informally passed over. Several executive communications were received; and the House adjourned to’Monday next, in order to allow the Speakeran opportunity te appoint the usual com- mittees. Treeorarn Wiars Baoxen —The telegraph wires be- tween this city and Boston and Albany were broken yesterday morning, by accident or design, it is not known which. Men ere out repairing the wires, and communi- cation is expected to be resumed to-day. The Albany company has commenced laying a strong iron cord, which it is hoped will work more satisfactorily than the present fragile copper thread. The gentleman having charge of the Boston line is preparing to lay down a similar cord on his route. BY THB MAILS. Wasutneton, Dec. 8, 1846. The President’s Message—Mr. Garrett Davis— The Slavery Question—The Two Millions Appro- | priation Bill—Letters of Marque and Reprisal— | The Proposed Loan—Sub-treasury—Land Grad- | wation Bill—Branch Mint at New York—Expe- | dieney Tax. Shortly after 12 o’clock to-day, the President’s | Message was communieated to both houses. | The reading of the document occupied two hours, and after ordering the usual number of copies to be printed, both houses adjourned. In the House, Mr. Garrett Davis, of Kentucky, moved to suspend the :ules ,to allow the introduc- -tion of a resolution calling upon the President of the United States to communicate to Congress | any orders issued by the government to General | Taylor, General Wool, General Kearney, General Worth, Commodore Sloat, or Commodore Stock- ton, relative to the occupation or government of territory in Mexico or California. The rules | were not suspended. This resolution, had it prevailed, would have opened up the question which the President has forborne to mention in his message. This would induce loose, and at present, needless discussion, both as to the right of the United States to seize the territory lately occupied, and as to the footing | upon which the new territory is to be received | into the United States. The slavery question would of course be dragged into the debate, em- barrassing the action of Congress on matters of more immediate importance, and producing raneotoas irritation and embittered feeling that from the deliberative coun- risdiction of the United States, until such | time us di is made of it by the trea- ty that shail establish | between the two | to the Senate of the Uni to moment, having for their object the vigorous pro- | seeution of the war to a speedy peace claim the | pi phe gee bes og seesion, the working time of which, properly economi admit of the deli thes Cinsigeration of hace (ook to fntter away the time of tte national sures, | couneil in aimless wrangling on the ible evil | di 2, slavery, which looms in the dim future on the jsordered vision of the abolitionist, would be a gratuitous piece of folly and indiscretion, the first | manifesta of which I trust will be promptly | Yet it is notat all improbable that into the dis- every trivial bickering among them gives strength to he enemy.
