Fremont concluded his defence before the court martial to-day. It was composed of an analysis of the testimony and other proof, to show that General Kearny had testified false- hoods, and for the purpose ot “impeaching the motives and the credit of the prosecuting wit- nese’ (Kearny.) ‘To do this”, says the defence, “is both fair and legal, where there is just ground for it, and that is abundantly the case in this instance. A prosecutor should have none but public motives ; his testimony should be scrupulously fair towards the accused. If he contradicts other witnesses, which Gen. Kearny has done, it becomes necessary to weigh their respective credit.” All the conflicting evi- dence was reviewed. Commodore Stockton’s testimony regarding the march to Los Angeles, in particular, was shown to be directly at va- rianoe with Gen. Kearny’s on the same subject. Stock- ton explicitly declared that he considered himeclf as commander-in-chief both on field of battle and on the march, and acted as such; whilst Kearny declared he wat commender-in-ohief, and that Stockton accompa- nied him merely asa sort of volunteer. Several wituess- es had sworn that commodore Stockton sent orders to Kearny; and Stookton’s sid-de-camp in particular, as- serted he had borne orders in bis official Sepechy) to Kearny on the field, and that the latter expressed no dissatisfaction at their receipt. The regiment raised dy Lt. Col ont was raised under the orders of Commodore Stockton, and it was therefore subject to naval,and not military authority. There was a good deal of reiteration of yesterday’s defence as to the ohar; preierrea by General Kearny. His statement thathe bed preferred but a single charge, whilst the Secretary of Wi Cy ny’s) own writing bly brought out. The charge in relation to the was fol loss of the cannon, Gen. Kearny stated he bad obtained from official information furnished by Mejor Cooke, and that he knew nothing personally of the matter To this Major Cooke testified that his report was made out in consequence of information ‘xiven him for thet purpose by General Kearny. On the whole, the evi- denoe of Gen. Keasny baving been proved to be falsus in uno, should be considered as falsus in omnibus. The detence considered that these difficulties have arisen in consequence ef iaulty orders sent out from this place; next in the unjustifiable conduct of Gen Keazny; third: ly, in the conduct ofthe government in sustaining these pretensions. In conclusion. the defence considered it ‘Was right tho difficulties in California should be inquired into—but hew? Not by prosecuting the subordinate, Dut the principals. If it wasa crime to accept the go- Yernment from Commodore Stockton. it was @ crime in him to have bestowed it: and in either case, crime or no crime, the goveroment, which was ioformed of their in. tention, and did not forbid it, h.s lost the right of pro- seouting either. Col Fremont then stated be was Teady to receive semtence. The court was cleared aud remained eo for a leg time. When the door was opened the court stated thet in cons+quenos of the wirh of the Judge Advocate to explain that portion of the defence having reference to his assertion (hit the specificatious were all based on Gen Kearny’s charges, und the 7th one drawn up by the General himself, uid adjourn till the followmg day, which it did accordingly. THIAMETI CONGKESS, FIRST SESSION. Senate. Wasnixcron, Jan. 26, 1848, Mr. Benton in his seat to-day Daring the morning hour, ted a petition asking for the er teblishm-«t of a custom house at Rouse’s Point, on Leke Ubamplsin. The bil extending the by Jethro Wood, of N Mr. ALLEN moved te strike out the enacting clause Mr Tunver opposed the motion and urged the peer age of the Dill as due to the family of the inventor o this plough Mr Drexinson exp ained his relation as counsel ic this matcer as interfering to prevent bis voting or speak. ing in the 4enate uoon tha subjzct. Mr. Davo. Mr. Camenox end sir Paxtrs supported the bill Mr Nixxs asked if this patent for this plough bad not ince renewed atent on the plough invented ‘ork, coming up, in the affirmative nen, fir, he has had the exclusive bene- fit of this plough fora period of at least twenty one ra. This is the agreement with the public, provided y lew. and it would not be just to the public to renew beyond the terms of the general laws an exciusive privi- loge like this If the jaw has failed of conferring its ia- tended benefits upon Jethro Wood, the fauit was not in the law Mr. Tonwer appealed that the inventor hed ex- heusted his private fortune in establishing his right to this plough, and that his descendants were entitled to the benefi.s of the patent, which Mr. Wood, himself, had tailed to deri Mr SrukGeon was apprehensive that the exclus benefits to the heirs of Jethro Wood, as proposed to be conferred by this bill, might be misconstrued and ex- tended to other individuals Mr. Wxsrcorr, contended for the passage of the bill. The inventor of this plough, had been cheated by his agents and others out of all benefits of the invention The object was to give the heirs the benefit of a law of which the inventor had received no benefit. Mr. Atven said there was one anrwer to all that had been eaid in favor of these people, and that it was, if they had been #0 unfortunate as to derive no benefit from this patent ina period of twenty-eight years, bow can they expect to make any thing out of it by « further extension of the time? Mr. Allen continued for some time in the elucidation of his opposition to the bill. He was opposed to putting a tax of fifty cents upon the far- mere of this country upon every plow that might here- for six or seven years, cf this invention, pecially when the inventor bad had the benefit of the patent for twenty-eight years. If Mr. Wood had been cheate ! by sharpers or agente it was his misfortune, and it was a misfortune which his heirs could not cell upon Congress to repair Mr. Darrow referred to the several occasions hereto fore when this bill was passed by the Senate, as affording evidence that it had been thoroughly examined, and its merits fairly ascertained. Mr. ALLEN called for the ayes and noes on atriking out the enacting clause. Ayes 16, noes 26, So the Senate refused to kill the bill Mr. Batowin moved to strikeout the clause which ex- cludes the assignees from the benefit of this patent. Mr. Westcort resisted the motion Mr Batowry entered into an argument in support of his mouoa Mr. A..tex moved, that as the discussion was not ex- hausted, the bill be laid aside tili to-morrow, which was agreed to. MR. BRENTON AND COURTS MARTIAL Mr. Berron gave notice that on to.morrow he should ask leays to introduce a bill to «mend the 65th and 91st of the rules and articles of war, in relation to the mode of conducting courts martial and courts of inquiry of the army of the United States. THE PUBLIC PRINTERR, On motion of Mr. Pueirs, the committee on printing were inntructed to inquire why the report of the Secre- tary of the Treasury had not been laid upon the tables of the Senate. Bovh Houses seem inclined to pick a quarrel somehow with the Messrs, Wendell sod Van Benthuysen. THE TEN REGIMENTS. On motion, the bill providing for ten new regiments of regalar infantry, to serve during the war with Viexico Was resumed as the unfinished business of yesteriay Mr Drx took the floor, aud awid:—it was my wish to deliver my views to the Senate on the reeolutions of the Senator trom Souta Carolina, (Mr. Calhoun.) and not on this bill, | should have preferred to do #0, not only be- cause | am always unwilling to deley action upon any measures for the prosecution of the war, but because the resolutions efforded a wider Geld for diseussion than the bill.

And since the war bad commenced, the ene- my had been misguided into hopes of berter terms from @ prolonged resistence. It was best that this error should be removed by a firm stand upon the positions which we occupy, than strengthened by their abandoa- ment. He would attempt to show that we could adopt no better plan, to secure @ peace, than by holding firmly to all the positions whieh we now occupy. He had ha occasion, last February, to speak of the reduction of Northern Mexics ince that time, Vera Cruz, Jalapa, Parote, La Purbla, and the city of Mexico, had fallen into our hands. If we have not overrun their whole country, we hold their principal towns, and their capital, all their machi: of government Mr D. here pas: sed offinto a beautiful and well deserved eulogium of the achievements of our arms, ever victorious whatever the odds against them—the spirit of our volunteers, braving ail the bazerds of war and the dangers of a sickly cli- mate—the glory of our institutions, in producing at once from the welks of civii life, soldiers equal to vete- raus ia the field; and the advantages cf our militia sys- tem in diffusing among the people the necessary elements for the defence of our national soil sud national integrity The political system of Mexico was very rapidly ep proaching to a dissolution of all the responsibilities of the government of an independent State It was not so from the conquests of our arms; but from the fac- tious which bad controle’ her destinies, through mera brute force, for the Jast twenty years. All the evila of the Spanish colonial system had been but aggravated in Mexico sinoe her independent existence. And it is the consideration, that when the discordant elements that have so long distracted that uabappy country, are in prospect of giving way under our auspices, to a peace- able and stable government, which leads to the first objec- tion to the withdrawal of our troops. Mexico has suffer- ed heretofore from her internal conflicts, disasters per- ps more oppressive to her people than any she has experiexoed from us in the present war. Her people are divided into two great parties—the fede- ratistee and the centralistas. fy former are friends of # true republicat tem, and are sometimes called the puros—the centralists are advocates of a consolidat- ed central gcvernment, either republican or monarchi- cal, and the party is composed of the army, the clergy, anda small portion of the population. 1 believe, that if we can eucceed in securing the federal party in power, represented by such men as Merrrera, Anaya, Pena y Pena and others, we shall go far to the acquisition of peace. But the federalists could not sustain themselves were we to withdraw our troops from the country. military chieftains would rally, and the old internal dis. tractions would follow There is nothing more impor- tant to Mexico than the re establishment of the federal party in power. Its overthrow will bring anarchy again upon the people, without amelioration and without change, save in the change of one military despot for another. Calamitous as this would bs to the Mexic: it would be roarcely less disastrous to ourselves. The war would have to be renewed from the beginning, and the results mights be more dearly purchased than at first. These considerations have had some influence in the resistance of the Mexicans The federalists, anxious to put down the power of the army, looked to its destraction in the F pekabo rae of the ‘True, they have been to some dearee governed by those sentiments so natural to ev people where their soil is invaded; but the federalists have regarded their military chieftains as their worst enemies, and if they have united to prolong the war, it is to secure their own scendancy, from the destruction of the power of the age ‘The federalists are honest ropublicans, devoted to the true iuterests of their country, and we have no hopes of a stable and permanent peace but with them Tho ocentralists area selfish and ambitious p: gardless of allinterests but their own, pardiese of the means by which their ow sttainad.

Itis the possible, if not the pro. babie, interposition of foreign powers, and what then would be our position, if our troops were withdrawn from the country without stipulations ot any kind which it would be in our power to enfurc ? The President, in his message, refers to this subject in terms of apprehen- sion. | participate ja them, and [ shall state the grounds upon which they are founded ; and | hope to be indul- ged if I shail draw largely in this exposition upon the patience of the Senate Mr. Dix then adverted to the declaration of the French Minister of State, M. Guizot, ia 1845, regsrding the division of powers upon this con- tinent.’ They were divided into three grofips—Ist. The posressions of Great Britain; 24 The United States of North America; 34. The tates of Spanish origi From her position to all parties, it belonged to France to protect the independence snd sovereignty of each, ro a8 to preserve an equilibrium of forces on this continent Mr Dix went iutoan elaborate argument upoa the validity of this doctrine of Monsieur Guizu:, quoting to ite refutation from the writers on interna- tiopal law- Grotius, Martens, Vattel. and others. He contended. then. that the right of combination war un- der the spirit of the laws of nations, only appropriate to the wenker States for their relf preservation, for, that & combination of the stronger was certain to lead to the Jestruction of the wesker States in any gever«l commu- tiy of States, He cited the absorption of Venice by Austria—th» partition of Poland by Russia, Prussia, and Austria. in 1815, aod the entire extinction «f the littl fr gment of Tacow in violation of treaty guaranties. in 1847, a8 examples of the abuses of these balances of pow + And when it is proposed to apply these dalane: is contineot and to us. tt becomes us to enquire upon what grounds it is fouaded, and to what abuses or scouchments upoo our ind«pendent postion it jead. Mir Dix contended that this declaration by \:an eieur Guizot in regard to this proposed balauce of power was pot a mere idle expression of opinion. It meant something—it looked to some practical application ‘This was proved by the collusion of France with Great Britain iu their «fforts to prevent the annexation of Texas. Mr. Dix uext read from the book of De Mefras, dedicated to the King of the French. and published in Paris,in 1846 Herrad from this work on Caliornia and Mexico, the recommendations of the author for the establisoment in Mexico of an European monarchy, as affording further proof of a real design of enerouchment upon the independence of the States of this Continent. With this prospect of European intervention, then, would it be safe to withdraw our forces from the terri- of peace, The interferences of Great Brita France in affairs of the South American States, were another proof of the real purposes of these Governments to regulate the balance of power on this continent The people of Mexico were republican, but should we withdraw our troops short of peace, anarchy must again evsue,and then, even the approach of mosarch‘cal government with the promise of an enduring perce, would he sought as relief fcom the evils ofa military despotiem. Mr. President, if there should be any attempt to establish in Mexico, the equilibrium of forces of Monsieur Guizot, such attempt must lead toa far more momentous contest than that which we are now waging in Mexico, and to far more inscrutable re- suits. For neither the people, nor our safety, nor our declarations and protesta heretofore made against the interposition of foreign powers in the affairs of this con- tinent, would permit as to allow of any European intervention in regard to Mexico, Sut if any uch interference shuld take place, we should of pecersity, and from the necessity of self. preservation, be involved ina contest of which no man could foresee Mr. Dix next referred to the encroachments the ead of a treaty of peace Great Britein, then, had seized upon the taking them under her protection; she stretched along the const to Nicaragua, commanding that river, and of communication between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans the States of Central America against their consent, and even at the Ballas, on the southern side of Yucatan, she was making the eame preliminary movements to ecoup tion.

In these views, he con- curred, with the Senator from South Carolina, that | peace was our aphere; that our institutions were de- signed for tne blewings of peace. But here they separated. Mr. Dix was opposed to withdrawing the troops, though the end desire! was the sam: He contended that the presence of our y had already ameliorated the condition of the Viexican people —that many of the corrupt and oppressive taxes ofthe Viexican rulers had been abolished that Mexico must be civilized and redeemed by contact wiih us that so fer from our being tied to # dead corpse, xs de- seribed by the Senator from South Carolina, she was not beyond the power of resuscitation even by human meaus that occupation was the readiest plan to peace, aud » stable government and that an abandonment of our Present positions, without peace, would lead to a re- newal of the war, in which foreign nations might com bine against us. He dwelt upon the forces required, and the forces actually in Mexico He was im favor of this Dill, because he believed the tem regiments it proposrs to add to the army, would be wanted. The force on p: per is not the force in the field. General Scott had said, in one of his r ports, that so far had his force been over- estimated at Washington, that the army was disgusted at it. Our hopes of peace lay in a Orm stand upon all the points we occupy. with a power to extend, at will, our forces to the suppression cf guerillas, and the restora- tion of tranquility in every direction Mr. Dix ssid he should, with the assent of the Senste, give some of his views in relation to the general subjeot of our prospective relations with Mexico. Voices-—It is getting late; better wait till to-morrow. Ob, adjourn, adjourn, From THe OTHER 81Dx—The Senator can finish now. Mr. Dix—I shall not ocoupy over fifteen or twenty minutes. The leareed Sevator then went on to state that we were destined to go forward in spite of ourselves. We were destined to spread acrors this continent—we were flanked in the North, in the whole extent. yy ape ple from the same origin, but under ontirely distinct in- stitutions, On the South we have Mexico. thus to continue between these two distinct people? Af- ter giving the ratio of population of Mexico, Mr. Dix re- ourred to the behest of Providence, that barbariam and ignorance must give way to enterprise, christianity and civilisation. The aboriginal tribes must be extingulsh- ed or compressed into continually contracting areas. This was the inevitable law. Woy should we itate to discuss laws over which we have no control. Emigra- tion, theu, would set into Mexico, and piece by piece, her territories, and her people would melt away before the approach of the stronger and more enterprising races of the North. Leave our population to iteelf, and no- thing can srrestits progress across the continent. Mr. Jefferson had foreseen his forty years ago; but public opinion in our day had greatly overrun the anticipations of Mr. Jefferson; and modern improvements had given the strength to the aspirations ot the public mind for the incorporation as Statesinto this Union, of territories which were not regarded as likely, for centuries to come, to be attached to us as members of this confederacy Mr Dix believed that our course must be onward and Prosperous, and that to whatever extent we might ex- Ppand by the gradual encroachment of our people upon partially univhabited and barbaric regions, it would not be for us to permit any Interference to an expansion. Oar past bistory had been a history of a subjugation of the wilderness, and the path of our glory had been in building up the institutions of peace, civilization and christianity, and while our continued progress was cer- tain from causes which we vould not control, he ho} thet our policy would never be inconsistent with the trus character of our institutions, and the great ends of our mission among the nations of the earth. After re- capitulating his objections to the withdrawsl of the army, either entirely from Mexico or to a defensive line, Mr. Dix concluded his very able and elaborate speech by reiterating his opinion that it is our true Pelioy to stand firm, and thus to hold ourselves ready to conclude a peace at the first opportunity on terma of ae | understanding, mutual good faith, and magna- nimity. Mr. Puecrs secured the floor for to-morrow, and the Senate adjourned.

(Ha! bi ‘stated the question. Mr Hotes, of South Carolina, in the crowd, and im- patiently—Mr. Chairman, Mr Chairman, the gentleman ‘withdraws the appeal. Mr. Hency, however, was recognised, and amid the laughter that was occasioned, he procesded to speak of MATTERS AND THINGS IN GENERAL, AND ADVERTED TO “GENERAL JAMES GORDON BENNETT,” OF THE NEW YORK MxRALD. He said that there was one thing remarkable in the speech just delivered by the gentleman from Massachu- setts When he(Mr. Henly) first came to Congrese, av abolition speech always caused great excitement. But, to-day, the speech of the ger tleman was listened to with attention and approbation, even by the whig members trom the South, asfarashe had noticed. (Laughter.) Mr. Henly said he had no remarks to make in relation to the subject of slavery. He was known st home as being opposed to the institution, believing thet it was not only an evil to the slaves, but to the slave holders. However, he olung to the ‘compromises cf the constitu. tion. Ha was told that, the last bat eal im the South, there were two gentlemen in the field in & certain district. One of them said “Gentlemen, you propose to select an individual most competent to give character ‘and weight io the national councils; an individual to sustain himself there should have oratorical powers, and be ® good and logical debater. Mr. Robertson and my- self are before you; you can see for yourselves who oan make the best oratorical display. On this you ought to decide. We will make the bition to you to-day You can decide”? The resull }, the eloquent gentle- man from Mississippi (Mr. Tompkins) beat the old, sturdy, honest planter. And accordingly the gentleman has made his oratorical display here. We have heard it—the world has hi it Mr Henly would not be disrespectful; but the gentlemsn’s effort amounted to no more than the hollow scund of an empty ofder barrel the coon campaiga of 1840, (Laughter) The ntleman spoke ot Executive authority and prerogative, and sneeringly alluded to the gentleman from Alabama (Mr. Houston), as haviog “ dog-eared’? books—leaves turned down by the Executive. The gentleman from Alabama was always respectful and courteous, and de- nied this; but the gentleman from Mississippi insisted upon tha truth of his assertion. Mr.Henly thought that. in this, there was more in the “ dog”’ than in the “ears;”” at least, he feared that the;Mississippi gentleman would lay himself linbie to the imputation. as to Executive authority, Mr. Henly was reminded of a gentleman who ade a commentary on the law of nations, by placing a common tater om the volume. (Excessive laaght The gentleman’s comments were nothing more th common Irish potatoe. (A voice—“ Small potatoe.”) Yes, a common Irish potatoe ! (iu allusion to the Chris. tian’ name of Mr. Tompkins, which is Patrick.) The gentleman, too, quoted shakespeare ; and he would say to him, in the language of the same author, “ Gratiana speaks an infinite deal of nothing, more than any man in Venice. It is like two grains of wheat in two bushels of chaff. It would take all day to pick them out ; and, after all, they are not worth the search ”» (Laughter) * * * The gentleman from Tennessee (Mr. Barrow) says that he blushes for the President, in consequence of i pera wentsia the army. But did nct the President select a colonel (Taylor) to lead the first advance of our troops. General Scott is a whig also. Here we have two whigs. They were ordered to Mexico to take command of two divisions of the army. There, too, are rals Wool and Cadwallader. The gentleman, however, said he despised a “neutral.” Is not General Taylor a “neu. tral?” Does he despise him ? Mr. Barrow explained—I did not say, in connection to-duy, a! two o'clock. Mr. Bropxeap inquired whether a motion to go into committee would be in order. The Sreaxer replied that it would not, pending the | motion to reconsider. Mr. Cons moved that Mr. Donnell’s motion be laid | Upon the table. Mr. Boyp moved that there be a call of the House. | |, The yeas and nays were thereupon taken, and by yeas 71, pays 118, a call was refused. The question was then taken to ley Mr. Donnell’s | motion to reconsider on the table, and it was decided in | the negative—yeus 96, rays 100. Mr. Henty enquired whether it would be in order to Proceed with the business on the Speaker's table? The Sreaxen replied that the motion to reconsider the vote by wnich tie resolution to terminate the de- bate, was passed, takes precedence of every thing else except a motion to adjourn. ‘The yeas and nays were again taken, and, by yeas 102, nays 98, the vote was reconsidered | he SPEAKER announced that the question recurred on the adoption of the resolution.

The House resolved itself into a Committee of the Whole on the State of the Union,(Mr. J. R. Ingersoll in the chair,) and resumed the consideration of the Presi- dent’s Mereage. | , Mr Patrney, of Massachusetts, sterted out with the declaration that « Southern gentleman (Mr. Clingman) on the 22d of December, introduced the political aspect of the slave question in'the present Congress, [He un- derstood that there was recently established in this city @ newspaper to support the institution of slavery, and that the plan had not only been projected, but carried into effect. fle was told, too, that it hada large cireu- lation. Notwithstanding what had been said by the gentleman from Merylana, the slavery question wes the | great political question of the day—it had been for the | lest half century; and determines the solution of all other questions He referred to the disparity between the slave and the free Stutes,in point of representation, and the prepoaderanoe of the former in the possrssion of the fat offices of the government. Lat a kidnapper come to the North in search of a colored fugitive whom he claims to be his slave, and let bim convince a magia- trate that his preteusions are well founded, the unhappy individual is detained and delivered up. To recov the paitry sum of twenty doilars, a trial by jury is ed; but in a matter affecting liberty, than which po i‘ is more valuable, this right isden:ed. By the constitu: tion of Massachurette, the colored man is a freeman; but let bim go into a tlave State, and he forfeits his freedom and becomes aelave! A gentleman is sent there to look into the matter and to eee whether the Inw is just. A judge of the rupreme court, one of South Carolina’s sone, said that he was an outlaw. Massachusetts sent one of her citizens, he repeated, to ter the question nud to go jnto court. But he was not allowed to stay there He was driven away with ignominy, ond it was nude orimi- nal for him to come there again on a similar errand. — We have spent # hundred miilions by going into omun- just war, It would have been no matter if the money had been buried ia the deep biue rea, if it had not been the means of buying so much ruin and mirery. It has been the cause of the death, by violence, of thousands who never did injury to us. it hes carried widowhood . | and orphanage iuto’ Mexico and into our own country It hae left » page on our hirtory for posterity to read—a page of sorrow and disgrace. The gentieman from North Carolina said, in his epeech, that siavory was na tural and wide rpread. Iie must have been reading f | Roseeau, who maintuined that the savage was the na- tural state of man, Slavery is an excrercence ands anomaly, except ina savage state of society. In ae Brazils and the Spanish colonies slavery is strippo of its objectionable features As to the capacity of ta o- lored race for acquiring knowledge, Mr. Palfcey inst need the case of Frederick Douglass, By picking ao little ieces of paper in Baltimore, be learned to read t @ ible. He afterwards resided three years in Naw Bed- ford, and Mr. Palfrey hesitated not to say, that Douglass speake and writes the Englith languege with an elo- quense which would not be dingraceful to any gentle- ian on this floor. The founders of the vonatitution designed that slavery was to be but an ephemeral thing Certaioly, it was Washington’s detign. Pateick Henry, it was well known, said, “Give me liberty or give me | death? It was equally true. “give me liberty, or give re no life.” The abolition movement was not new. | Within the frat year of the exinence of the eou- stitution, 8 society was d, and » memorial was pre- sented to comers, aapet among others, by Ben, Franklio and Lafayette. (The hon. with the mame of General Cacwallader, that I despised a neutral On the contrary, | expressed the highest re- spect forthat gentleman. Mr. Heniw--I am glad the gentleman makes the ex- planation. But why did he say he had no respect for = neutral, when General Taylor is known to be @ neutral by the whole country? ‘Mr. Tomrxins—If the gentleman will permit me, I will ‘ask, if General Taylor is # neutral, why did he say that Mr. Polk appointed General Taylor as a whig to the command ? Mr. Hewcy replied, that he spoke of General Taylor in the acceptation of a whig, as he is claimed by many to be. He was then understuod to say, among other things, « When the Devil to Tennessee to take Jemmy Polk, where will Mr. Barrow hide his head?” (Leughter.) ‘The Cuarmman—The gentleman is out of order. Mr. Hexcy—I am not speaking of the member from Tennessee, but of Mr. Barrow when he goes home. (Ha! ‘he Orainman—The gentleman is out of order. Mr. Henty—I don’t mean the gentleman from Ten- © I ask pardon, however, if I have violated the the rales. THE GRAND MILITARY FROCESSION—NEW YORK EDITORS Gentlemen make @ great fuss and splutter about Gen. Taylor. Ifhs voted, he will be headed by Mr Cal- houn, the only public man who, with General Taylor, advocates a defensive line. Who stands next? Jamer Watson Webb, who has been a whig for a long time — How conscievucious he has been, Mr Henly would not say ; it was known tothe world Who next? General James Gordon Bennett. He would make an able whi; leuder He isa man of talents, energy and industry, an makes his mark wherever he goes. If he is placed in ront. how lorg will he remain iherc?

The editor of the New York Tribune, a conscien- tious, if not an influential leader, says be will not sup- port General Taylor,uniess be rans as a whig,presides as a whig, or agrees to carry out whig principles. So say many honest whigs. They remember the election in which they were for « Tyler, therefore, ‘Without « why or wherefor,”’ They swore, in their disappointment, that they would never go it blind again for auy They are afraid of being tylerized. How is it in Alabam: rolina? ‘Here a distinguished whig say: e can’t sup- port him unless he is opposed to au extension of territo- ry, and isright on the Wilmot proviso. A gentleman from Alabama says General Taylor must run, because ho is right on the Wilmot proviso question. Here they etand, whigs and democrats, in Alebama, declaringthat +ll other questions are inerged in the slavery question, sod that he is right on the Wilmot proviso. Northern enay be fe wrong. South Caroline {s angry even with General Case’s letter. awh, want a man who fs not only opposed to the Wilmot proviso, but wh lives in the south, Well, let them pursue that cou re; they will be sorry forit.

The whi party w !l hold aconvention—General Taylor says be will not trke the nomiuation of any party. The Ten- neseee wh gs say that General Taylor must make « edge. General Taylor says, “I kuow nothing about a Book or a tariff; | have not bad time to look into these subjects.” OLD AVOWALS. Goutlemen say that the President bas not given them light; and they think that this is monstrous; but Gen- eral Taylor will keep them in the dark on ail sudjecte, i they select him to rule our destinies Strange mey. It must be taken for granted, then, that, hie, party abandon their declarations and principles, and cat loose from every thing which they hold sacred, General Taylor will not be their candi . He will not, unless he abandons his ground, aud takes the whig nomination (General Teylor will not do it. It is utterly out of the question for him to be the whig cacdidate for the Presidency. He is au honorable, brave meav, and has done his coun- try much good service in this very just war Mr. Henly honored and respected him for it He is too honeet to stand before the country as a whig candidate; is too good @ man to be in the hands of those so dis- cordant in their views and opinions. The whole object of whig effort is to convict the President of havin brought about an uvjusc war. This is the cry, Nort and South. But look at the witnesses who hi spired to convict him of murder. They di’ themeelver. One says, it was the march of she army to the Rio Grande; another, that @ ministrr was sent to Mexico, instead of s commissioner; another, that the war was bogun to *xtend slavery 7’. «re are almost a dozen different reasons But every witness swears that Polk brought on the war. The wh'zs agree that it is an unjust war, and that it was bec ught on by President Poik, but they differ aa to what produced it. Blue lights were thrown out, in New England, during the last war with Great Britain, to direct the movements of the ene- my; and gentlemen mey turn blue lights here. A who ‘was taken prisoner in Mexico, a printer, was ployed to set up the speech of Corwin for ciroulation thet country, and he wes asked by his employer how long it would be before Corwin was elected President? [A voice—That’s something new to me; I never heard it before’) Col. Donophan said, wh:n he received the speech of Corwin, he could not restrain his indignation. ‘There he was, in an enemy's couutry, denounced by his own countrymen as an outlaw, and a robber. It was chilling to his warm and generous blood. He wasa whig, Col. Lane, of Indiana, a whig, was similarly affected It was looked on®in the same manner by everyone. Col, Wynkoop—was he nota whig? Mr. Henly knew not, At allevents, the Colon ke truth. “Col. M Ohio, spoke the truth. Mr. Henly expressed the 0} ft by a do an injury not 1 from Penn- | of this; but we can’t do it now When the Yankees havo once set their feet upon the soil, they will not withdraw. If the whigs had taken a different course the war would have ended long ago. When Mr. Healy finished his remarks, Mr Tompson, of indiana, obtained the floor, and the committee ruse, And tho House, at four o’cloek, adjourned. | Bauiimokg, Jan. 27, 1848. 4 Rupture in the County Court—Pistols and Coffee Sor two—Gold Fish—Henry Clay and the Balti- more Whigs—Scarcity of Money—The Liberia Packet, §c. In the County Court yesterday, a difficulty that may yet result in ‘coffee and pistols for two,” took place between the Hon. Reverdy Johnson and Henry J. Brent, Esq. It appears that Mr. Brent had claimed a decision by default in a case in which Mr. Johnson was interested, on account of the absence of the latter when the case was called up. Mr. Johnson appeared yes- teyday in court, and moved that the judgment should be set aside, ond intimated that the course of Mr. Brent, in demanding.» judgment during his necessary absence at Washington, was a violation of the usual courtesy of the bar. Mr. Brent defended his course on see grounds, and his duty te his client, and pronoun- ced the charge of violation of courtesy false.— Mr. Johnson responded in the same angry tone, both parties declaring it to be their intention to vindicate their reputation at a more suitable time piace Thus matters stand at presen: forts on the part of friends fera reconciliation have pi unavailing, aud perhaps I shall be able to inform you to-morrow that two right honorable geatle- men have “blown their dem brains out,” in the most approved fashion. * F Yesterday, a man engaged in fishing up coal and other articles, that have from time to time fallen overboard, at Spear’s wharf, came in con- tact with quite an assortment of jewelry, which appeared to have been iu the water for along time. In several successive hauls with his grap- pling irons, he brought up one gold fob watch chain; two gold guard chains, three gold pencils, three gold bracelets, a pair of gold spectacles, anda goodly number of rings, breastpins and studs. They were supposed to have been drop- ped over at some time by a thief. Several meetings of whigs have recently been held in Baltimore, expressing their admiration of General Taylor, but declaring that the servi- ces of a civilian and statesman of Henry Clay’s great ability are now required by the peculiar po- sition of the country, for the Presidential chair. On account of the absence of the Liberia Pack- et, which I noticed yesterday, I learn that the Colonization Society are about chartering ano- ther vessel to proceed to the colony at once with theiremigrants. It is supposed by some that she has been delayed at the Cape de Verd Islands, where she was engaged to stop and bring home a number of naval officers relieved from duty on the coast. @ : 2 Money matters are very tight in Baltimore at present, and the banks have nearly all suspended discounting. I learn that one of our principal banks on Monday last, refused good notes to the amount of $40,000. Puiwavetpnia, Jan. 27, 1848. Mad Dogs—Fortunate Escape—Damages for Libel, &c. Two rabid dogs were killed yesterday in dif- ferent parts of the city, fortunately before they had bitten any person. Several other dogs were previously bitten by them, and the only way to preserve the public from further ravages of this distressing malady, lies in their being at once destroyed. The exhibition of hydrophobia at this time, mid-winter, has set people to wonder- ing at the cause. Some attribute it to the fact that two ‘‘suns” are now striving for the mas- tery among us, while others declare the lesser “sun” to be the dog-star, disguised as a lumi- nary of greater magnitude. : A child fell from a third story window at which he was playing in Kensington yesterday, and must have been killed but for a bundle of clothing that had been placed on the pavement beneath, a moment or two previous to his fall. The jar caused an internal injury, but he escaped without the slightest bruise or fracture. __ Wm. Runyan yesterday obtained a verdict of $1,000 against the editor of the Spirit of the Times, for the publication of a report prevalent at the time, implicating the prosecutor with the Castner family tragedy. Gatvrston, Jan. 4. 1848. Banking Affairs, §c. The newest thing under the sun is the Agri- cultural and Commercial Bank of Texas. Our constitution says, there shail be no banking; sut, praise be unto the chapter of accidents, it sc happens that the States of Couhmla and Texas, in 1885, granted a charter for a bank of the above name, and that the first Congress of Texas recog- wized the right in the grantee, and appointed a commissioner t» get the monster on its legs, which commissioner, for a wonder, escaped uli the dangers of the Texas revolution, and the reater dangrrs of Texas civil life, aud 18 now ere, for the purpose of organizing the insti- tution. The bank has a capital of three hundred thou- sand doilars, all paid in; and being the only pri vilege of the kind, will, doubtless, declare large gvidenda, and be of incalculable benefit to the tate. An evidence of the necessity which existed for something of the sort, is found in the fact that one of our best mercantile firms, William Hendley and Co., were issuing notes of the Mid- dletown Bank of Connecticut,with their endorse- ment upon them. r Considerable eflomts are now being made to have a bridge erected from our island to the main . corty thousand dollars have been subscribed, and we have hopes now that the work will soon be commenced. Tue Wasuincton Monument.—The joint re- solution granting a site on the public grounds in this city for the erection of the National Cor, he Monument, was passed yesterday by the House of resentatives nem con , as it had previously the Se and of course requires now only the assent of the Pre. sident to have ali the forms of law.
