Mr. Rockwkt1, of Connecticut, rose to a privileged bio spe A resolution was passed yectaniay to close the on the army bill to-morrow. On that day only bills the Senate, to which there is no ohjec- tion, can be conrivered. It seemed to be the opinion of some members that public appropriation bills alone should be considefed; but he appealed to the House whether private bills, for the payment of honest debts, should not receive some portion of attention? (A member, sotto voce, said it was a “ darned shame that claimants were 0 shabbily searet He moved to reconsider the resolution to which he had referred, with a view to close the debate on the army bill to- day at two o'clock. The country would lose nothing by thir, as speeches were delivered having no refer- ence to the subject before the House. Mr. Vexame moved to lay the motion upon the table, whereupon, Mr. Recxwent asked for the yeas and nays, which were ordered, and bring taken. the question was de- cided in the affirmative—yeas 81, nays 59. So the House uvgenerously refused to give one day to private bills, {Many of the claimants have travelled thousands of miles to this city. to have their business transacte: and not only this, but have been living here for mont! and years, apxiourly awaiting the action of Congress. At last, some of them must beg their way back, or pro- - oure quarters in the alms house.) Mr. Rocxwext, of Connecticut, made another inef- fectual effort to set apart Tuesday for the considera- tion of private bills from the Senate. Only twenty- two members voted to suspend the rules. ‘The House resolved itself into afCommittee of the ‘Whole, on the state of the Union, (Mr. Ashmun in the Chair,) and took up the bill making appropriations for the arm: AVERY IN THE TERRITORIES, Mr. Mansu, of Vermont, had authority for saying that slavery now exittsin Oregon ; and it was a mat- ter of doubt whether or not it existed in New Mexico and California ; at least we understood him as making this arsertion. He therefore asked whether northern men are willing to submit the decision of the question ment, when the question was put. anc Red river was ruled a¢ a contrabund appropriation. Some other amendments were sgrced to. THE CREEK INDIANS. An amendment was moved, appropriating some $142,000 to the Creek Indians, as the balance due of $260,000, which, under treaty stipulation, was to be id said Creeks, by the government, for their lands in Georgia. This amendment led toa long debate ; Messrs. At- chiron, Walker. Downs, Butler, Niles, Sebastian, Phelps, Turney, Underwood, Calhoun, and Bell par, ticipates. It appears that the original price to fbe paid for the Creek lands in Georgia, under treaties with the State and the United States, was $450.000. The State of Georgia claimed the balance of $250,000 for damages ineurred, and property taken or destroyed by the Creeks in the Indisn wars. The Creeks referred the matter to the President, and the examination which was had under his order, awarded to Georgia $108,000 of the claims presented, amounting to $280,000, leay- ing a balance, after discharging the claims presented, of $142,000, which a deputation of the Creeks now in turn shall be paid over to them, and which this amendment is intended to meet. ‘At 43g o'clock we leave the question in discussion to the Supreme Court of the United States, a greater ortion of the justices of which are from the slave tates, and liable to ten thor l sinister infiuences, Let the Supreme Court decide one way or the other, the North or the South must be dissatisfied. Slavery was hostile to the laws of nature and of God. He would not cay that slave-holding, under all circum- stances, isa crime, but that it is opposed to the letter and spirit of Christianity. It is slander to say that slavery, not being profitable in Connecticut and New Jersey, was abolished because it was not profitable. It was profitable there ; but was abolished because it was contrary to the laws of God. Texas was annexed in opposition to the great body of the people of the North. The people of the North, however, have no ition to control slavery, where it now exists, in the States ; but they must not be asked to extend it. Slavery in the territories muy be carried through Congress by the same means of corruption that Texas wasannexed ; for there is a class of men who, at the Baltimore Convention, would have preferred Slatter and Williams. There is a fixed determination not to extend the evil. MR, WILMOT AND THE WILMOT PROVISO—HARK ! Mr. Wi:sor arose, he said, to discuss the great subject of the age. Two years ago the President asked for an appropriation of two or three millions of dollars, not fo: the purpose of prosecuting the war, but to purchare territory. In his judgment, it was at that time proper :hat the restriction of slavery in the territory to be acquired should be enjoined. The amendment offered by him passed the House by a large majority. He doubted not that it would have received the prompt sanction of the Senate if time had re- mained, at the clote of the session. to act upon it. It is unfortunate for the country that the question was not then settled. If ithad,no agitation on the sub- ject of slavery to any extent, would now exist. The question of Sypseiion was raised by the South to insure, as their l'residential oandidate, a pliant instrument of the elavekpower. The voice of the South was heard, saying that they would support no man who weuld not declare against the principle of the ordinance of 1787. The boon of the Presidency was held up as a bait for votes. Those who should have been the first and fore- mostin upholding freedom, were the first (o be t] supple tools of the South. The anathemas of the o cial organ were hurled at those who dared to oppose the extension of slavery; yes, at those without whose support the administration would not have come into r. The public patronage was used to oppress the Fonda of freedom, and denounce them—those who, in the face of power bid defiance, and remained true to the solemn convictions ofjtheir duty. This is a day of novelty and changes in the political world. Our so- yereignty over the territory of the United States is flatly denied, He had examined the history, and, from the organization of the government to the present session, Congress has continually exercised sovereign- ty over the territory of the United States in the most full and plenary manner. Congress has extended over it its sole and exclusive jurisdiction and authority. The territory possesses no inherent political sover- ign’ reignty appertains to organized States. He during the whole period of our nation- nee, there could not be found anexample of » territory exercising an act of independent sovereign- ty. This doctrine is of recent origin It originated in the necessity of the occasion, and as a shelter to avoid the ‘responsibility of meeting a great question boldly and frankly. We have uni- formi, prescribed jaws for territories for the inet sixty years. Congress bas no more power tointer- fere with a bank in a State than it has to interfere with slavery in a State, Certain rights are reserved to the States—rights are not reserved by the territories. If Thomas Jefferson were now alive, he would be de- Bounced as an abolitionist. a disturber of the public peace. and he, (Mr. Wilmot,) in the proviso, merely copied what that great philanthropist and statesman jd in the ordinance of A787. (that there shall be nei- ther slavery nor involuntary servitude, except for erime.) The friends of liberty, the North, invoke the yr of government to maintain the existing state of Reodom in the territories; they seek not to change the existing state of things in the States. For himself, he asked—Hands off! leave the territories alone! The territory is open for the North and the South, but not for a certain species of property. Suppose slavery, by the laws of Mexico, does not exist—if you take a slave to that country. under the Mexican banner, he be- comes free. If the Mexican flag tears down slavery, and ours rears it up, and you can take a slave there and keep him as such, doe# not our government lend itself to the institution? The flag of this Union must not protect rlavery beyond the boundaries of the States, where. it does not now exist. Mr, Wilmot reyarded the project, called the compromise, asa deception and a fraud. It settled nothing, but left the whole question open. If the bill had passed, it would have beld out to the North the inducement that slavery was excluded: while, in the whole South, it would have been raid that the whole territory was eft ym to the institution. When the question is settled, let it be settled ons basiv *hat all can under- stand, Ifslavery is to encroach on the soil of freemen let the line be distinctly and broadly drawn. How did slavery get into Texas. It went there in defiance of law, it planted itself, and grew until it was strong enough to maintain itself. Slavery got there just as it will to the Pacific Ocean. Let it once reach that far, and the Union will become completely subservient he slave power. Freedom will become the weaker, nd slavery the stronger power, The democracy of the North wish to preserve their association with the de- mooracy of the South. They will rally around the standard, and do battle for their prineiples. They will maintain a rtrict construction of the constitution and ® jealous regard for the rights of the States; com- bat monopolies in all forme, and they will support the veto power.

He regarded the bill'as the most monstrous which the ingenuity of man could concoct. ir Cxoziex resumed He had no doubt that the bill would have been rejected by thirty-five or forty ma- jority, and this would have been done independently ‘of the action of wcaucis, It has been stated that the Dill was laid upon the table at the instance of a whig caucus, and tbat the eight Southern members who fo yoted, were designated by the caucus for that purpose to defeat the bill) But he had he of no caucus. It was a mere election- cering piece of invention. He pronounced it false, that the trick muy be made ure of no longer. What would have been the use to discuss the bill three or four weeks, without a beneficial result ? There were weighty reasons which induced him to vote to lay the bill upon the table. The bill was not a compromise, The decision of the Supreme Court either way would bave created dissatisfaction in the North or in the South, believed that if the Su- reme Court had sertengo? | nst the South, it would ave afforded a pretencd for getting up a nullification axty ; and that if Mr. Calhoun had not voted for the ill, other Southern members would not If the Su- preme Court had decided for the South, the North would have raised the cry of “ Repeal.” Mr. Ince, of Aiabama, (by permission.) said that under the constitution of the United States it is the previnee of the Supreme Court to decide every ques- tion of doubtful construction. It is impossible for Congress to decide the question of slavery. The le of the North are committed in favor of the ilmot proviso ; the people of the South are irrevo- cably against it; therefore it was proposed to refer the question to the judiciary of the Union. ‘The only effect cf the bill was to disclaim the jurisdiction of Congress over the subject of slavery. for the reason that they could not settle it. How utterly absurd was it for the South to ask the favor of this Congress. Mr. Crozizx—The gentleman arose to ask a ques- tion; it istoolong. (*Ha! ha!”) Mr. Ince—I will put the question briefly. I desire to know whether we have not a right to carry our slaves to the territories under the constitution? Do we not demand too much when we ask Congress to give us rights which the constitution does not confer? Mr. Vinrox—I wish to ask the gentleman, or any of his friends, whether, in case the compromise bill pass, and the decision of the Supreme Court be against the North, General Ca:s, if he be elected President. would abide bythe decision? I remember that, when the Cherokee question was decided, he, as Secretary of War, denied the authority of the Court to decide, and asserted the authority of the Executive to act upon | the question, notwithstanding the decisisn of the Court, What guarantee have we that General Cass would abide by the decision of the Supreme Court? Mr. Ixcx—I reply to the gentleman, that that wasa case of criminal jurisdiction. The best pledge ich we can have that General Cass would submit to the decision of the Supreme Court, is, that the compromise bill was sustained by the party which supports General Cass for the Presidency. Mr Bovoes—By what portion of the party was the ——. given? Mr. Ince—The bill was defeated by the whig party. Mr. Meape—I with to say Mr. Cnrozi: I claim the floor. I understand that General Cass id his friends maintain that the p ple of the territories have a right to logislate on the slavery and all other questions; and that as soon as General Cass made this communication, in the Nichol- son letter, the gentleman from Virginia, (Mr. Bayly) took the floor and endorsed it. Mr. Bayty—I hope to have an opportunity to reply to this and fifty other speeches which have been made on the same subject. Mr. Crozier said that he took it for granted that there were others who were anxious to come forward and endorse the same principle ; and, in support of this assertion, he referred to the speeches of Messrs. Birdeall, Mr. Thompsen, of Mississippi, and Mr. Vena- ble, of Nerth Carolina, Mr. Ince—Answer my question: how orm the in- terests of the South suffer by taking the question to the Sugreme Court for a decisien. Mr. Crozien—The question is too long. Southern gentlemen voted for the Wilmot proviso in the Oregon Dill, although they said the proviso was unconstitu- tional ; but yet they could not vote forthe appropro- priation for the Savannah river. That is consistency ! Mr. Stanton—Will my colieague let ine say a word? Mr Crozier— ; one word. Mr. Staxton—I voted for the Oregon bill last session, I voted for the Wilmot proviso, because | believed it to be nugatory, and because I believed that the Suprem Court would decide it to be so, and under the impre: sien that the Ae! os of the Missouri compromise would be agreed to. The gentleman said that the com- promise bill of the Senate would leave the subject where it was. I call the attention cf my colleague to the fact that the bill establishes governments for Cali- fornia and New Mexico. The compromise would have been respected, and if the Supreme Court has give decision, the subject never again would have been a tated, and the people would have been willing to abide by the decision. T ais0 call the attention of my col- league to the argument of the gentleman from Ver- mont (Mr. Marsh) that slavery exists there legally. Mr. Croziex—I must go on. Mr. Stanron—Oply one word more. Mr. Crozien—I must go on. Mr Sraxtox—I woulk ask my colleague to state whe- ther the action of the Legislative Council was not sub. ject to the decision of Congress? Mr. Cxozin—I understand my colleague to say that the Wilmot provivo was unconstitutional, Mr. Stanton—Ves Mr. Crozimr—Yet he voted for an unconstitutional proviso ! Mr. Sraxtox—I considered it to be nugatory. Mr. Crop —Why not vote for the appropriation te improve the Savannah river, on the same ground? Was it the intention of the democratic party to humbug? If they could have swallowed the Wilmot proviso. they eould have gulped down the Savannah river. This is “straining at a gnat and swallowing a aamel.” After some further remarks, Mr. Birpsa.t obtained the floor, and entered into an analysis of the vote in his district, to show his POLITICAL POSITION IX NEW YORK. He replied to remarks of Mr. Collins. delivered on a former occasion; and in the course of his observations he said, that the barnburners, by the aid of foreign in- fluence, determined not to nominate a candidate for Congress. Mr. Birdsall was nominated by the democratic convention. The whig convention met and dissolved, after recommending the whige to support a barnburner and bolter in his district—Mr. Chase. The name of Mr. Chase was placed at the head of the whig papers; and Mr. Birdsall’s was placed at the bead of thore of the democracy. The influence of the friends of Siles Wright was invoked to defeat Mr. Birdsall; and they went so far as to exhibit letters from Mr. Wright's immediate friends, to show that Mr. Wright desired to defeat him. However, Mr. Birdeall defeated the combination. Thus he con- tinued to speak for more than half an hour. Mr- Hovsror, of Delaware, raised a point of order That it was not competent, on the Army bill, to de! the counter political movements in New York. The Cuarnmax—The gentleman from New York is in order. Mr. Hovstox appealed from the decision; and on the question being taken, the Committee sustained it! . ‘A good deal of laughter was occasionally excited. When Mr. Birdsall stopped to take breath, gentleme thought that he had done speaking; aod they sprai to their feet, shouting, in a very loud tone, to tl heighth of their vocal powers, “Mr. Chairman! ”’ “Me. Chairman!" Ha! ha! ha! THE WINDING UP Catncant congratulated himself that, after having made 1 hundred and eleven jumps, he had at last obtained the floor; and he replied in a discursory manner to the remarks of several gentlemen; examined into the charge that the democratic party brought on the war. and insisted that the conduct of the whigs on this subject was broadly inconsistent. Mr. Bay y, of Virginia, in the general struggle, was so fortunate as to be recognised by the chairman, He id that he was so much exhausted by his strenuous efforts to get the floor. that he feared he was not able to discuss the question for which he had risen, How- ever, he proceeded to explain his position with regard to slavery; questioning the right of Congress to legis- late in relation to slavery in the territories; asserting the constitutional guaranty to slave property; ins’ ing upon the right of people in the territories to legit late on their own internal affairs, but not possessing unlimited legislation, and in favor of the Supreme Court deciding on controversies growing out of claims to slaves Mr INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS. Mr. Tattmavan, of New York, commenced his re- marks by asking, what have we done here! For tho last four months we have heard nothing but debates on the slavery question, and the subject of the Presi- dency. We have not performed the duties which de- volve upon us; and what can we do within one week of the adjournment? There are many important bills on yourtable. For one Igo home ashamed. Inthe course of his remarks, he aid that the free States had decided, beyond controversy, that slavery shall not e3 ist on one foot of the new territories; and he branch- ed off in support of the improvement of rivers and har- bers, stating that from 1806 to 1845, $17,000,000 have been appropriated for this purpose. Only $1,600,000 have been appropriated for New York, where two-thirds of the revenue is collected from year to year, He op- posed the proposition to give the s power to levy tonnage duties to improve their harbors, instead of making appropriations with this view by Congress AN ACCOUCHEMENT Mr. Haut, of New York, (by permission of his col- jeague.) alluded to the fact that long before the harbor bill was reported to the House, a gentleman from Mary- land (Mr. Ligon.) delivered a speech in faver of ton- nage duties, and stigmatized those who asked for ap- propriat‘ons as mendicants applying for charity, Now, this speech, if not voluntary, was premature; and he congratulated the gentleman and the House that, after his acouchement, he wasin an easy and oomfort- able state, (Ha! ha!) Mr. Tariniavor resumed—He said that since the organization of the government, $890,000,000 have been collected in the form of duties. Of this amount $489,000,000 have been collected at New York. For the last ten years two-thirds of the re’ York alone. OLITIOS AGAIN We thought two hours ago, that there was a «‘ wind- ing up,’ but now, at « quarter past five o'clock. after a session of more than seven hours, the debate has taken a new start. Mr, Neweus obtained the floor, but he gave way to Corin who wished to make a brief re ply to Mr. ‘dsall. He referred to the stat ment of his colleague, as to how and by what agency be was elected to Congress; and said— The facts are these. My colleague was regularly nominated A candidate was put in nomination against him. He became alarmed at this, and, in his distress, he appealed to the whig party. and made a coalition with them, and procured their support. As a consideration, in exchange, he gave his own yote and those of his friends. ‘herefore, he is the repre- sentative of the whig party; and the other day, stand- ing alone of the New York delegation, casting his vote against laying on the table the bill of the Senate with regard to slavery in the territories, ho disobeyed the knox n will of his constituents. (Ha! ha!) They are opposed to the extension of slavery. ir. Binpsa.t.—The gentleman makes a statement which I will say may be unintentionally untrue. I do not represent a majority of whig constituents; a ma- jority of my constituents are democrats. I received, to be sure some whig votes, In all the towns in C nango county, many of the whigs and baroburners united on the epposing candidate, and he reoeived a strict party vote. we have b New JERSEY Mr. Niwrtt, to an audience of forty or fifty mem- bers, and eight sovereigns in the galleries, delivered speech, showing the necessity and importance of pro- viding light: houses and snag-boats, for the security and protection of the navigation along the coast of New Jersey Mr. Bovnen, of North Carolina, obtained the floorat twenty minutes to six o'clock, Mr. Evans, of Maryland—If the gent oman will give way, | will move that the committee rise, “Speak out, Boyden.” THE SLAVERY QUESTION AGAIN. Mr. Boyprn—Boy give me a glass of water, (to one of the pages.) I will goon, gentlemen. He then said that when he came here this morning he had no idea of ad dressing the committee; but he had risen to protest, in the name of North Carolina, against Southern gen- tlemen speaking on the floor for the whole South, such sentiments as he had heard uttered. In reply to the (#No, no."? argument of Mr, Bayly, he observed, that he had been looking as to where the power to legislate over the sub ject of slavery in the territories belonged. Was it lodged with the legislature of a territory? There was power lodged hero, in the government, which was above it. Could this power here legislate on the subject for the territorigs? No gentleman said no Who, then, could? The Senate's so-called compromise bill was a humbug. He desired that bills for the organization of the territories be passed without any thing on the sub- ject of slavery. The question of slavery in the terri- tories would just as foon come up without as by put- ting it there, No man could controvert this point, Why, then, put it there? SETTLEMENT OF THE QUESTION—WHIG TACTICS. Mr. Mitten. of Ohio, said that he understood by the vote last Friday, laying on the table the compromise bill of the Senate, that the whigs were not prepared to rettle the question. Mr. Bornen remarked that his State (North Caroti- na) always suspects every thing that comes froma certain southern statesman, (Mr. Calhoun.) Mr. Mien resumed, This was of little consequence to him. He intended to show-that it was the purpose of the whig party to def-at the settlement of this ques- tion on any terms. for the purpose of operating on the Presidential election; and they are willing to sacrifice the interests of the North and the South, to accom- plish their purposes, They declare that they will have no substitute; and because they think that the success of the democratic party is involved in it, the whigs op- ose it, He asked the whigs to show him the whig plat- form. ‘He would adhere to the resolution of the Balti- more Convention. He expected, and he made the pre- diction, that the time would come when the whigs would deny having opposed the war. They opposed the war as damnable and unjust, and yet they take the military chieftain! What inconsistency! But what aro Geno- ral Taylors principles? There is nothing but the Ali- con letter; and what was the fate of this in the House? Why, a few days ago, tho gentleman from Pennaylrania (Mr. Stewart) asked leave to introduce a series of reso- Tutions nearly. if not quite. in the words of the Alison letter? But the House, with a whig majority, refused to suspend the rules, and the resolutions were, in ef- fect, voted down by eighteen majority. They stand therefore, in this predicament. General Taylor will not be the exponent of whig principles, and the whig party here say they will not be the exponent of Gene- ral Tayler’s principles! After some further remarks, the honorable gentleman took his seat. It was now half past seven o'clock. the House had been in session nine hours and a half, The splendid chandelier, with its ten thousand jets, threw otit a flood of gas light., The seats were tolerably well filled, the dinner hour being over. A few of the members were lounging on the sofas; others were quietly smoking their cigars at the windows in the lobby. Eight gen- tlemen in the galleries. one of them one of the dis- charged volunteers, with his coarse blue jacket, lined with the silk velvet captured in the halls of the Monte- zumas, WHOLESOME TRUTHS, . Gen. Taytor, of Ohio, said: I agree with my friend from New York (Mr. Tallmadge) in what he advanced with regard to the waste of time and the irregularity of our proceedings, and the strong necessity for re- forming the rules nf proceeaiagy in relation to the precent inequality, the oppression, the injury, in- flicted on a vast portion of the representatives of the people of the country by a useless consumption of time. What have we seen? Out of two hundred and thirty members, only forty or fifty are permitted to take part in the deliberations, while other members are virtually excluded by the tyranny and oppressive character of the rules formed for our government. It is disgraceful and unjust to the people that a man has not a proper occasion to express the true wishes of his constituents. If it shall ever be my lot to be sent back here, will urge a revision of the rules, which will restrain gentlemen from _ forcing themselves upon the attention of the body too frequently. I say this,in order,that the country fehlgent member how it is that many of the most in- telligent members are not heard during along session in the House of Representatives. I say this in order that my constitutents may understand why so rarely address this House, Mr. Taylor spoke in condemna- tion of the veto power. which he said, set long since to have been repudiated, and in favor of internal im- provements by the gencral government. In conclu- sion, he adverted to the great question of the day— slavery—and remarked that he would never consent to extend slavery beyond the boundary of Texas, Asto the candidates for the Presidency, Gen, Cass has edged himself to carry out the principles of Mr. Polk’and this is enough to condema him.

Good.” Ha! ha!) The whigs have been accused of giving “aid and comfort to the enemy;’ the in- sinuation is as base as it is false, and the assertion is unworthy of the dignified station of President. [It was now twenty-five minutes to nine. A hun- dred or more men in the galleries, and a seore of ladies. Members, in little groups, talking in the lobbies and within the bar; scarcely any attention paid to what was going on.| A DEFENCE OF THE ADMINISTRATION ‘Was entered upon by Mr. Prox, the democratic “lone star’ from Vermont. He showed theinconsistency of the whigs in taking for their candidate a military chieftain, after having oppored a military chieftain as dangerous to the presperity of the country. In con- clusion he argued, in favor of restricting slavery to its present limits. THY TERRITORIES. Mr. Ovtiaw, of North Carolina, at twenty minutes past nine o'clock— Mr. Grxtny—I will move that the Committee rise if the gentleman will give way. [“No," “no,” uttered in loud tones.) I won't press it, there's so much ob. jection. [Go on,” “go on."'] Mr, OvrLaw commenced by alluding to the scramble which he had for the floor, and then passed on to speak of the territory, which was acquired by no act oragency of his. Onevery occasion he avowed him- self opposed to the acquisition of one single acre of Mexican territory. The whig party are not responsible for it in the sight of the country and of God. As, however, it has been acquired by a common blood an treasure, a portion of it belonge to the North, and a portion of it belongs to the South. What should be the proper disposition of it? ‘To divide the territory on equitable principles. He did not believe that, if the compromise act of 1820 should be enacted, to apply to it, the act would be repealed. If people were appealed to by the same spirit which animated our fathers on the battle-field and in council, quiet would be res- tored, and agitation cease, except among a few dema- gogues. He did not believe that the bill of the Senate would produce good results; it would not settle the question, but have a tendency rather to increase agi- tation, which would have gone on with fvarful and accelerated speed. This epirit of acquisition would have a most disastrous effect on the genius of our in- stitutions THE REPUMLIC OF THE SIERRA MAD! We see another effort made to wrest other provinces from Mexico, by armed citizens of the United States, if not by the connivance of the executive. And I do not hesitate to say, if no effort be made to arrest this atrocious plan, the President will be guilty of an act of moral turpitude unknown in history, and for which he will deserve impeachment. Mr. Ricnanvsox—As a citizen of Illinois has been mentioned as connected with the expedition (Gen Shields) | wish to #ay ® few words Mr. OvrLaw—I allude to the movement on the Rio Grande, to establish the republic of the Sierra Madre.

Mr. Rrcnanvson—It was stated in the public papers that acitizen of my own State was ina certain por- tion of Mexico, and concerned in the movement, So far from this being the fact, at the last dates I have, he was in Illinois. He is thore now. He has been there ever since he left Washington Iie bas not re- turned to Mexico since he left Washington.

Mr. Outlaw, ia conclusion, spoke of the ii cersim the affairs of legislation, and, though General ‘Taylor was not his first choice, he would go for him heartily in preference to General Cass.

It was so in 1841, when General Harrison came into po ver. As soon as the scramble for the spoils commenced, the ty tumbled apart like a rope of sand; and he veri- y believed that Gen.

GENERAL ¢. S EXTRA PAY AND RATIONS —GENERAL TAYLOR'S PAY, * Mr, Stiwant, of Pennsylvania, reiterated what ho said on a former occasion about General Cass’s extra pay, while Governor of Michigan Territory. He said that it amounte: to $60,412. And General Cass was allowed ten rations a day on pretence of feeding the Indians. Why. it might as well be said that he fed the Irish and French. Mr. Conn, of Georgia —Does the gontleman mean to charge that General Cass ever drew a cent dishonestly ? Mr. Stewanr—l! intend to state facts derived from the official docnments. | shan’t characterize it at all, Let the gentleman and the country characterize it. Mr. Cons—I desire to know whether the gentleman from Pennsylvania intends or desires to make an im- ee on the public mind of the country that Gen. ‘ass dishonestly, contrary to law or good moral , drew one dollar from the public treasury of the United States? . Mr. Srewant—lI intend to state facts. I won't be driven from my purpose, Mr. M'Lanz—Was the money allowed by law ? Mr. Stewart—He got the money. It was stated by the gentleman from Miebigan, (Mr. MeClelland,) that General Taylor received more extra pay than General Cass, On the contrary, during a period of forty years, be never contaminated his finge:s with one red cent. General Cass took from the treasury, as extra pay, more than all the extra pay of all the Governors of all the territories, from the organization of the govern- ment. (which amounted to $16,199) He offered some other evidence from the books, A gentleman innocently inquired “whether there was anything there about good spoons”’ (Ha! ha!) While Mr. Stewart was reading from the books, a page stood near him holding a candle, although it was rufficiently light without it With the same propriety mighta flambeau be brought into the hall in the day- time. Quarter-past twelve, Thirty-two or three members still holding on; eight auditors in the gallery; three or four reporters only taking notes. ‘Mr. Stewart was undergoing a cross-examination as to General Case's extra pay. Mr. Danieu, of North Carolina, obtained the floor, the committee rose, and now, at twenty minutes past twelve o'clock. the House, in the language of the Speaker, adjourned until ten oelock to-day. Fripay, August 4, 1848, THE ARMY BILL, ‘The Huse met at ten o'clock, and resolved itself into Committee of the Whole on the State of the Union, Mr. Ashmun in the chair; and the army bill was announced as the snbject to be considered Mr, Danie, of North Carolina, made a democratic speech on the subject of slavery, and other matters. Mr. Borts, the Chairman of the Committee on Military Affairs, explained the features of the bill. If, said he, Congress adopt the bill as reported by the Com: mittee of Ways and Means, forty-two men to the com- pany, and make a appropriation sor ho more, our army, with 'a vastly extended frontier, extending from the mouthofthe Rio Grande to the Pacific Ocean, to the territories of New Mexico, California and Oregon—will consist of only s1x thousand six hundred and thirty- six, The Secretary of War calls for five thousand men for the frontier alone, which would leave but one thousand six hundred and thirty-six for the ‘whole of the United States proper. At the proper time he would offer an amendment to the last section of the bill now under consideration, fixing the number of the vates at ten thousand He had also been instructed y that committee to move to strike out the estimate proposed by the Commitice ef Ways and Means, and that the House adopt the estimate of sixty-four men toa company. This would give ten thousand men as the rank and file of the army. Mr. Cons, of Alabama, who had attempted to get the floor seventy-two times this session, was this morning successful ; and he explained an amendment he pro- posed to offer, yiz:—to permit the soldiers to locate their lands in forty acre tracts, instead of one hun- dred and sixty. ‘Tho general debate, which was limited by resolution, ceased at twelve o'clock. Mr. Vinton replied on behalf of the Committee of ‘Ways and Means, to the attack of Mr. Botts, of the Military Committee, that the former had usurped powers belonging to the latter. He said that if five thousand men were required for the protection of the worthless territory of New Mexico and California, in- volving an annnal expenditure of five millions of ‘dol- lars, to say nothing of what it cost us, we had better give it back to Mexico. Mr. Dickey remarked that the estimate of the Secre- tary of War was three thousand men. ‘The little speeches of five minutes duration, which ensued, were made on the amendments offered’ by th» respective gentlemen hereinafter named. Mr. McLean believed that the standing army ought to be increased. He beseeched the committee to adopt the recommendation of the President. giving him the discretion to fill up companies toa hundred men, if, in his discretion, this increase should be required, This would make the standing army 17,000 men. Mr. Toomns said that the President, when he sent to the House his message communicating the intelli- gence of # treaty of peace, delivered a homily on the danger of a large standing army; but, while doing this, he proposed to more than double the number, in- creasing the number of menin a company from forty- two to a hundred—an increase of fifty-eight more to company. Mr. Bunt would have the number of men to compa- nies greater than that recommended by the committee of ways and means, (forty-two) so that the entire num- ber would amount to about ten thousand men. Let the basis of a company be forty-two, giving discretion to the President, if the service require it, to increase some of the companies to one hundred men. Mr. Toomns said that if the increase of the army should go on, it would crush the government under the weight of its corruption. He wished to God that the standing army were disbanded; but as this would not be done, desired that the basis of each company be forty- two men. Mr. Duncan. of Kentucky, (in the five minutes al- lowed for explanations) advocated the basis of each company to sixty-four men, instead of forty-two; 80 that the army may nnomber about thirteen thousand rank and file, Mr. Dickey advocated the maximum of the army to be ten thousand men ; if, in the discretion of the Pre- sident, the inerease of any of the companies be neces- rary. Bs. Borrs said that, in his judgment, the organiza- tion of New Mexico and California was a bad bargain at nothing. He would not have taken it any price. We have acquired the territory by # loss of many valu- able lives, and millions of money, and millions more will be necessary to take care of it. But what is to become of the territory? Are we to leave it to the “ Buffalo Hunters,” or to Paredes to take possession? Must we leave New Mexico and California without a force to pro- tect them? Whatever his opinions may be privately, as the chairman of the military committee, it was incum- bent upen him to discharge his duty to his country. Mr, Ficxurn concurred in the views of Mr. Toom! and he contended that the basis of forty-two men toa company was abundantly sufficient for all purpose of defence in any and every portion of the country. Mr. BauxinceRr Was a8 much opposed as any gentle. man to a large standing army, but, at the same time, he would vote for a sufficient force to meet all emergen- cies, The number of sixty-four men to a company is not too much; this will not give more than fifty stand- ing men, andin ull thirteen thousand to the army. Mr. McKay was in favor of forty-two to a company, but he was willing to give the President discretion to increase the number in any of the companies to a hundred, as we have assumed additional responsibili- ties under the treaty with Mexico. Mr, Gentry denominated the views of Mr. Toombs as ultra and radical. Since the days of Washington, it has been the policy of the government to have the skeleton of an army, a nucleus, around which a la force could be collected in case of emergency. Talk about giving away the territory acquired! We can’t do it. We have got the territory and we must take care of it; therefore he would sustain the recommonda- tion of the President Mr. Toomws said that Mr. Gentry did not know the facts, and had not read the law, His statement was merely a fancy sketch, every word of it. (Ha! ha!) ‘The gentleman gives no foundation for his remarks, The whole army establishment, during the administra tion of Mr. Calhoun, of the War Department, cost but $28 toaman. The estimate of the Adjutant General now is $656 to a man. Mr. Brown, of Pennsylvanta, said that he agreed with the gentleman who had spoken—that we want no in- crease of force at all. Mr. Jamieson remarked that the West wanted the government to protect them by a sufficient standing army. The boundarios of the United States have been extended by the recent acquisitions, and, therefore, ad- ditional force should be provided. Mr, Tromso, of Mississippi, believed that a stand. ing foree did not keep the friendly Indians on tho frontier in check. It was the fact, that if they engage in war wpon our people they lose their annuities, which caused them to remain at peace Various amendments were proposed, and the result was the adoption of the following as THF PRRIONNED OF THE ARMY 1. The act of May, 1846, authorising an increase in the artillery, infantry, and dragoons, (a hundred mon to each company.) 8 repealed © The maximum number of privates in onc ny of artillery. infantry, and deagoo: i forty-two, provided the nt | next week | est tothe community.
