Congression al Beneficence—The Book Trade—Th Morality of the Business—The Press. The House, to-day, without debate, passed a resolution giving the usual extra pay to the clerks, messengers, pages, firemen, and the police of the capitol. There are at least fifty employées, from the reader at the desk down to the stirrer-up of the furnaces in the basement, away over to John Lee, the hostler. lars, perhaps more. good salaries already paid. Do not understand me as objecting to this. It 1s merely an item of fact. But the members did a nice thing for them- selves, viz: they voted the Diplomatic History, | the Congressional Globe and Sasenees the Re- ister of Debates, ete., etc., to the new members stance of our friend, Mr. Botts. you suppose these books will cost? There are about a hundred and thirty-two new members, and to them is given the sum of $85,000, in the shape of books; and at a single lick! This is extra, in addition to pay, mileage,and stationery, and docu- ments, ete. We do not say that this1s wrong; I allude to it, also, as merely an item of fact. The pecple may decide as to the morality. : And here let me make a remark. Members in former times have sold their books for half or fourth price. They are bought up, and again sold to Congress at full price; and it is mentioned as a fact, that the same books are sold to Congress as often as four times, by the dealers. For instance, a taped” member sells his books, through a private friend, and gives him a per centage for the transaction. Congress, atthe next session, votes books to members. Well, the merchant sells the books, which he cheaply bought from the member, for full prige. And so the business goes on. This will give you an idea of the Congressional book business.” Please understand me as as not saying a word in detriment toa single member of this | Congress; I only speak of the past. A committee of Congress was, once on a time, hin my recollection, appointed to inquire into kind of doing; but they never made a report. Ha! he! ha! While Congressmen are so liberal towards themselves, they have heretofore refused to give even the printed bills, a few scraps of paper, or any stationery whatever, tothe reporters for the press Fetrx. w Baummore, August 8, 1848. A Voritable Miser— The Buffalo Convention— Talang the Veil—Mr. Webster—Politics De- funct, &c. An old woman, nearly eighty years of age, was found yesterday in the western section of the city living in a room surrounded by filth, rags, and every evidence of abject poverty, and confined to her bed, which consisted of shavings, by sickness. She was removed to a more comfortable room and on searching her effects, no less than $285 in specie were found stowed away in old stockings, cups, &c., and a large portion of it up the chimney. Her valuables were taken possession of by the mayor, who expended a portion of it in procuring the necessaries of life ; and with medical atten- tion, the old lady seems to be improving. The proceedings of the Buffalo Convention are looked for with much interest here, and a move- ment is on foot by some of the old Simon pure de- mocrats te get up a Van Buren electoral ticket. Col. Henry Stump, an old Jackson man, has taken the matter in hand, and is pushing on the column in good earnest. Miss Mary Rebecca Cannon, daughter ot Cap- tain Cannon, Fell’s Point, took the veil the other day, at the Carmelite Nunnery, in this city. She was young and beautiful, and has left many ad- mirers to deplore her departure from worldly ex- istence. Foolish, foolish girl! Mr. Webster and family passed through Balti- more, yesterday, on his way to Washington. He has promised to deliver that_postponed Taylor Speech on his return from the a Politics in thls city are as dull, heavy, and stu- pid as ever. Neither party seems to care a straw whether they are whipped or not; consequently, there will be neither rejoicing or weeping with re- gard to the result of the State elections. Taylor and Cass are both becoming more unpopular every day, in this city, and neither of them will draw out the full strength of their parties. THLRTLETH CONGRESS. FIRST SESSION. Senate. Wasnixcton, Aug. 7, 1848. There was a thin gathering of Senators in the chember this morning, a sign that we may expect a lopg and tedious session to-day. CONGRESSIONAL REPORTS. Mr. Bexton, from the joint committee appointed to inquire intosome plan for the publication of the de- Dates of the two houses, in lieu of the plan of Dr. Houston, reported a scheme providing tbat the Union and Intelligencer shall print eaid reports on the terms they propose; and the terms which they propose are, thai the two houses shall pi y, for the reporting and composition of said reporte to the extent of $7 50 conmn toeach paper. Ordered to be printed. SWAMP LANDS, A bill was taken up providing for the surrender to the State of Arkansas, of the overflowed public lands in that State. The bili, comprehending, as as it does an vnlimited extent of the public lands, and, perhaps, Of the highest value to the government, led to a pro- tracted debate “ir. Johnson, of La., Mr. Breese, Mr. Borland, Mr. Metcalfe, Mr. Dayton, Mr. John Davis, Mr. Jefferson Davis, Mr. Underwood, nnd others, took part in this per debate. Mr. Jon~ Davis steadily opposed the bill. Before making sucha sweeping grant, something more ought to be known respecting the value of these lands, now and pr tively. It was known that the most valu- able is everywhere are those which are drained.— Besides, the government had already spent large sums in removing rafts in the Red and other rivers, and these appropriations bad been urged upon us because of the valuable lands that would thus be reclaimed to the government, Now, sir, | am not disposed to make this wholesale surrender of these lands, after these ex- penditures Mr. Jounson, of La., spoke of these lands proposed to be surrendered, as not being on the Red river, but a: land lying back in the country, overflowed by the r-fluent waters of the Mississippi Mr. Jonn Davis—Were there net such overflowed lends in Ohio? Mr. Jon , of La.—Ohio?—Obio? No, sir; the D insineippi run through Ohio, (Ha! ha’ ha') Everybody that the Mississippi don't run thr ugh the of Obio. (Great laughter) Mr. Johnson continmed, for some time, to speak most vehe- mently in support of the bill Finally, the bill was laid aside for the day, to make room for the special order. THE BUFFALO WONT Mr, Reverpy Jonnson, submitted a re: ing of the President whether be bas in hi any information of a design, on foot States, the object of whic the revolutionizing the republic of \ to ptate the extent of his information teable: and, also, whether be has tal mea rea to arrest this lawless invasion of the republic of Mexico ‘The resolution was agreed to tion, ask- porsession ited or Mr, Westcott —1 have some objections to that res Jution, air Mr Arce The resolution is passed Mr. Westcort—Well, rir. 1 did not vote for it, or I | Ghowld move for its reconsideration | consider the reso ation dangerous in its character Now, wo don’t know how thers can be any danger ssess—& mere bagatelle; | The cost of this act of beneficence | will be between twelve and fifteen thousand dol- | It is extra, an addition to the | 0 have not yet received them. ‘This was at the | Now, what do | rhororay ¥ Bi COMPROMISE. On motion of Mr. Dow’ House bill, providing for a territorial government for Oregon, with several ausendments, proposed by the con. mittee on territories of the Senate Tho first amendment provides “that no act of the territorin! legislature shall become a law, untilapproved | by the Governor.” | “On metion of Mr. Have amd Mr. Jeryevson Davis, some further provisions in this particular were insert- ed in the bill as amentments. Mr. Uxpenwoon derired 0 know why the veto power was proposed to be given to the governor ” Mr. Doverass explained, that it was to prevent ex- | cessive expenditures by the territorial Legislature The governor, representing the federal government, would act as a check upon legislative extravagance We furnish the money, and they spend it.

The governor vetoed the bill—he saved a vat expense to the treatury ; but the Legisla- | ture actually petitioned for his discharge. They want- ed to make as much money out of the government gs | possible, |” ‘The amendment was agreed to THE MISSOURT COMPROMISE. | The Committee on Territories submit an amend- ment to the 14th reotion, to wit: that “inasmuch as the said territory is north of the parallel of thirty-six | degrees and thirty minutes of north latitude, usually known as the Missourl compromise,” therefore the articles of compact embraced in the ordinance of | 1787, forever excluding slavery from the territory, &e , are established over this territory. | Mr. Unperwoop moved to strike out 36 30, and insert | 42 20; that it will read “inasmuch as the said territory | is north of the parallel ef 42 degrees."’ He moved aiso | to, strike out all relating to the Missouri compro- mise. | "Mr. Doverass—The gentleman can perhaps better | accomplish his object by moving to strike out the whole amendment. ‘The character of my mind issuch that if there are two waystodo a thing, | take that | which will effect it by, the most direct route. Inthe | debates already on this subject, it has been more than | ence affirmed, that in the Louisiava purchase, | we acquired our title to Oregon; or secured it If this be so, this amendment will be simply applying the principle of 1820, which was intended to operate | over all the territory acquired in the purchase of Lou. isiana. The compromise, as applied in this bill, will | le he Senate entirely uncommitted upon the sla- | very question, in reference to the new territories. |. Mr. Unperwoop—You say that as this er | north of 36 30, therefore flavery is excluded. | whatever may be the object of the amendment, settles | the whole question north of the compromise line ; | it gives us no guaranteg whatever that our | be respected south of that line. I wish toe a 1 | such decision upon this question. Mr. Dovouass—Perheps we can obviate the “8 objection, by saying, “And inasmueh as this is supposed to be comprehended in the Louisiana chase,”’ therefore it shall be subject to the terms. Missouri compromise, which was intended to operate over all the territory acquired in said purchase. Mr. Davroxn—But there is not one-third of the:Se- nate who belleve that this territory was acquired by the Louisiana tregty. Mr Doveras 4 am aware of that, but thought, perhaps, this condition would satisfy the & from Kentucky. Mr. Butirn, as a member of the territorial commit- tee, said he was opposed to the whole ai | and to the 14th rection, either with or without it. This sort of legisiation for Oregon is dividing the field of dispute—divide and conquer. I am in favor of no such Punic mode of legislation as this, I shall give my reasons more in detail in the course of this discus- sion. Mr. Nices argued in opposition to affixing the apo- logy ofthe Missouri compromise as the reason fo cluding slavery from Oregon. He was opposed to the whole provision of the amendment. It will do nothing —nothing in point of fact—nothing in point of law, | but it will bring up the merits of the whole question, | when bills for the other territories shall come up. | Mr. Dovetass explained. The bill did not assume to settle the question in reference to Oregon; the ob- | ject was, only as far as Oregon was concerned, to ap- | ply the principle of the Wilmot proviso, under the terms of the Missouri compromise line. | Mr. Have opposed any compromising of the great | principle of freedom in this bill. Yet, if this compro- | mise were adopted, so that Oregon shall get a go- vernment, and a government without slavery, he | should still go for the bill. i Mr. Mason spoke in terms of decided indignation against the amendment. It was deceptive to the | South—it was worse than nothing. He spoke of the | Buffalo Convention and the free soil movement in the | North, as having only one object in view, and that was | to get power, and that they bad only one measure in view to attain power, and that was by breaking down | the institutions of the South. The bill rejected by the House was a compromise. The South would sub- mit to that surrender or the Mesouri line. possibly; but to submit farther would be to submit to insult, indignity, and humiliation. And, sir, if any billis passed going one line beyond the Missouri Sifinpees against us of the South, the State of Virginia will treat the act as invalid, and they will make its invalidity good if they can. Mr. Dayton thought that this was rank nullification; but that from her past history he was satisfied that Virginia would never fall back upon the poor alterna- tive of nullification. On motion of Mr. Revenpy Jonxson, the Senate here laid the bill aside, and went into executive session, on a treaty for the purchase, at a million of dollars, of the Hudson's Dey Company property in Oregon, south of 49 degrees. * House of Representatives. Wasnincrox, August 7, 1848. THE ARMY BILL—RIVERS AND HARBORS—BUNCOMBE. The Sreaxen stated that there was a motion pending to reconsider the vote by which the bill making Ri gm pristions for the army was ordered to be engrossed for a third reading; and on this the previous question had been moved by Mr. Kauffman. The motion to reconsider was made by Mr. Thomp- son, of Indiana, on Saturday, with a view of adding to the bill appropriations for rivers and harbors. Mr. Howe will thank the gentleman from Texas to withdraw the motion for the previous question. ‘The Srraxen—Does the gentleman withdraw ? Mr. Kavurrman—For five minutes only. Mr. Hunt opened his mouth to address the House, when he was interrupted by Mr. Houston, of Alabama, who said—l renew the motion. The Srraxer—(politely as ever)—The gentleman from New York has the floor for five minutes. Mr. Hunt then said that. although he had desired to see the bill amended, as suggested by Mr. Thompson, et, as it had now been matured in Committee of the hole, he felt no inclination to embarrass its pascage. He gave notice, however, that when the bill passed, intended to move to go into Committee of the Whole on the river and harbor bill. !t could be disposed of to-day, if the friends of the measure choose, as there is a large majority in its favor. He concluded by re- newing the eall for the previous question. Mr. Copp, of Georgia, moved that there bea call of the House, as a vote was about to be taken on an im- portant question, ‘ ‘This the House refused—yeas 75. nays 85. ‘The question was taken on reconsidering the vote by which the army bill was ordered to be engrossed for a third thers | and it was decided in the negative— yeas 57, nays 170. ‘The bill was read a third time and passed. Mr. Tompson, of Indiana, moved to reeonsider the vote. He said he wished to make a speech, not witha view of convincing any one here, but for the benefit of his constituents—for Buncombe. [lis theme was to bethe subject of appropriations for the Ohio, Mis- souri, and M:ssissippi rivers. Mr. Kavrrman rose to a question of order The Srraxen remarked that it was impossible for the gentleman from Indiana to amend the bill, and the Gscusion of anything on it would not be in or- der. He has no liberty to enter into the details of what he wishes to be inserted in the bill. Mr. Tuomrson believed that he had a right to say why he voted for or against the bill. . The Srraxex requested the gentiethan to proceed with his remarke. Mr. Tnompson (after several poiits of order had been raised) had his “say.” to put himself right be- fore his constituents, and to complain of the action of the House. for the failure to vo propriations for rivers and harbors, im the army bill,after having de- clared for the principle, by inserting an appropriation for the Savannah river in the general appropriation bill Mr. Huxr, as we understood, took issue with Mr. Thompson, in something that he had asserted, and said that the army bill had been matured in the com- mittee and passed the House. Amendments to it were out oforder. There wasa bill onthe calendar making appropriations for rivers and karbors; let gentlemen take that up and act upon it separately The motion to reconsider was laid upon the table. EXTRA PAY—CONGRESSIONAL GENEROSITY Mr Dartine offered a resolution—that there be paid, out of the contingent fund, to the clerks, mes- sengers, pages, and laborers, including the police of the Capitol, the usual amount of compensation given at the close of a session. Mr, Jones, of Tennessee, moved to lay the resolution on the table, but the House, in its generosity, refused to do so— yeus 64, nays 121 Mr. Howstox, of Alabama, said that as the “usual amount’ was not kno’ to the members of Con- grese, he wished the rerolution to go to the Committee of Accounts, that it might be known what was being do This, however, met with no favor. The previous question was sustained, by forty-reven majority; and tbe resolution was passed—yeas 119, nays 51 SUNDRIES. A me-eage was received from the Senate, returning the Civil and Diplomatic Appropriation bill, with amendments Mr. Vintox—I move that it be recommitted to the Committee of Ways and Means, and that the commit tee have leave to sit during the sessions of the House Mr J.

The resolution of the Senate on this subject was parsed at a provious period of the day It authorized the President to deliver over to the Jackson Mona- ment Association two brass cannon and two mortars, captured by Gen. Jackson at Pensacola, to be used in the construction of the contemplated monument to General Jackson, togeth with such other brass pieces asmay be necessary, and that permission be given to erect the monument on public ground. Mr. Evans moved to reconsider the vote by which the bill was passed. He assigned some reason for the motion Mesers. Parrary and Coucamer were understood to interpose an objection, that such ‘ ‘other field pieces” might include revolutionary trophies. There was great confusion in the hall. ‘More than a dozen mem- bers were talking loudly in the neighborhood of those gevtlemen, and others were on their “pedestals,” Mr, McCiekxanp suggested an amendment to avoid the objection- to strike out a portion of the resolu- tion. Mr. Asian's motion to reconsider the vote by which the resolutioa was passed was reconsidered. Mr. McCiernanp offered a proviso, to the effect, that none of the trophies of the revolutionary war shall be given to the association, [A Voice--*Or amy war.’ gentlemen were on their “pedestals,” or legs. were frequent bursts of laughter. Mr Scumncx proposed an amentment, striking out all of the gift, except the pieces captured by General Jackson, at Penesasl, and which are mentioned in the resolution, viz., four caupon and two mortars, Mr. McCurnxanp—Add “and uch other pieces as were captured by General Jackson.” Mr. Haskeit--I would ask whether a proposition was not made to erect a momument to John Quincy Adams, and whether it was not defeated, principally by the friends of the gentleman ? Mr. McCiennasyo— That has nothing to do with this. Mr. Hasxrii—I will not vote one cent for a monu- mentto Jackson. I move to lay the whole project on the table. Mr. Scuexck—! have no objection toa monument to Jackson, provided it be confined within proper li- mits; and | will vote for this the more readily, to show to Sees who denied a monument to Mr. Adams for his civil services, that we are not ashamed to do for the friends of Generat Jackson what they would not do for Mr. Adams. - * Mr, Kina, of Georgla—! am opposed to taking can- mon to erect monuments. The trophies belong to t country; they should net be melted up for auy Gon ral omarth; they should be preserved as heir-loom: fhould descend to our common posterity, to show what their ancestors did to achieve honor and glory. Ido not take this course because I am oppased to General Jackson more than to any other General. I would not erecta monument to General T'aylor, com- of the cannon taken on the Rio Grande, or a Monument to Geveral Scott, of the cannon captured im another portion of Mexico. I move to lay the whole mie ‘upon the table. . Conn. of Georgia, moved to lay the resolution upon the table; and, on the question being taken, it was decided in the negative—yeus 74, nays 101. Mr. McCixananp said there seemed to be much mis- apprehension upon this subject. A member of the committee, appointed by the Jackson Monument As sociation, had placed in his hands their memorial, asking the donation of certain brass pieces to be used in the construction of an equestrian statue to the me- mory of General Andrew Jackson. The pieces asked for consist of four four-pound brass guns, and two nine inch brass mortars, weighing in all 4,030 pounds, which were captured by General Jackson’ at Pensacola. contract had been made by the committee with Mr. Clark Milis, of Charleston, for the con- struction of the statue, at a cost of $12,000, of which sum $11,500 had been already contributed by agene- rous and grateful public. There was no doubt but that an ample sum would be received for the con- struction of je statue in a tasteful and substantial form. The statue was to be one-third larger than life, and was to be completed within two years from the date of the contract with the artist : if was to have a place in the public grounds in this city, ‘The gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Kixc) had ob- jected to the donation as a misapplication of national trophies to individual objects. But notso. It had 2 an immemorial custom to devote a portion of the trophies won by great benefactors to the perpetua- tion of their memories; and it was a custom of saluta ry example, in its effect to stimulate a noble emulation | of great deeds and-great fervices. ir. Toomns—Where had such a custom prevailed? Mr. McCierxanv—In France, where the column of Napoleon had been made of the cannon taken at Austerlitz ; and in England, where an equestrian statue to Wellington had been made, or was being | made. of the brass pieces captured'at Waterloo. | Mr. Toomps—The column of Napoleon was not made of the cannon captured at Austerlitz. Mr. McCrenxanp insisted that cannon taken at Austerlitz had been put into the column of Napoleon; and shonid ingist upon the correctness of his gerferal recollection upon the subject, until the fact was shown to be otherwise. Mr. McC. resuming, said it was an erroneous view of the gentleman from Ga, (Mr. King) to suppore that it was a misapplication of nation: trophies to devote them to the perpetuation of the | names of the men whore valor and patriotiem had won them. The name of Jackson, the fava the wise, the incorruptible, w: part of the glory of the country; and the history of his long and eventful life would constitute one of the most brilliant and exempli portions of the country’s hist. To honor, his memory, therefore, was to honor his country, which he so dearly loved, and which he so faithfully served. At the last session of Congress, a resolution hea been | passed, nem. con., by the House, granting the trophies in question, for the purpose mentioned. He hoped there would be no objection now, since the present resolution had been amended. The amendment of Mr. Schenck was agreed to, and the resolution was again passed. THE TWO MESSAGES OF THE PRESIDENT, One of them communicated, in reply to a resolution in relation to the boundary of Texas, and matters connected with the conquest; and the other, enclosing the treaty of peace, and recommending the erection cf territorial governments for New Mexico and Califor- nia, were taken up—the question being on their refe- repee. jr. Vexante, of North Carolina, replied to remarks of his colleague, (Mr. Donnell.) and spoke favorably of the President and etherwise of the Northern free soil movement. Mr. Steruens, of Ge gave his reasons for vo- tingl to lay upon the table the compromise bill of the Senate. He was utterly astonished that gentlemen from the North or South were favorable to the bill. It settled nothing; it would only have increased agita- ion. Mr. Bincwam delivered a speech on the subject of the territories. He believed that Congress could legislate over them. A motion was made to lay the message on the table. Mr. ©. ,of Georgia, said that it was too late for a call of tl louse, (twenty minutes to four;) the House was thin, and it was dinner time; therefore, to haye a full vote to-morrow, he moved that the House adjourn. ‘The yeas and nays were taken on this motion, and the question was decided in the negative—yeas 33, nays 80. The motion tolay the messages on the table was carried—yeas 76, nays 64. AN ACCOUNT OF NOTHING. An ineffectual motion was made to adjourn at‘twen- ty-five minutes to 5 o'clock. ‘ . The House then went into a Committee of the Whole on the state of the Union—Mr. Cabell in the chair. wae Hent moved to take up the River and* Harbor” Mr. Cons, of Georgia, called for the business as it ‘was arranged on the calendar, and he was understood as going on to debate the propriety of this course of proceeding. and something else. when The Cu. “a decided that the gentleman was not “pwards of two dozen There Mr. Conn was called to “Order,” “order,” in various perts of the hall.

Mr. Roor raid something, but what it was, may be inferred from the reply of Mr. Conn, who said—So far as I am concerned, I will agree to pass a resolution to stop the debate on Wed- nesday, at twelve o'clock, I have no disposition to impede legislation; I only want a fair discussion. Mr. Hunt—By general consent, | am willing to agree to an arrangement that the bill shall be reported to the House on Wednesday, at twelve o'clock. If the fer minutes rule be in exercise, another day will be ost. Several gentlemen were exchanging words in the centre of the hall, but above the din was heard the loud, full voice of it Mr. Conn, of Georgia, (for there are two in the House of the same name,) saying :—I do not hearany objec- aon le to the suggestion of the gentleman from io. The Cuainmaxn—The appeal is not debatable Mr. Conn—I withdraw my appeal, and move that the committee rise. I do this with an understanding, on wy part, that ‘the bill will be taken up to-morrow | morning, when we wiil go into committee and debate it till Wednesdey, at twelve @clock. (‘ Agreed, agreed.”’] | Mr. Vintox— \‘ill the gentleman from Georgia agree that the five minutes rule be suspended? [The rule that gives a member five minutes to explain an amend- ment after general debate has ceased, and which is so often perverted.] Mr. Conn—I have no objection or desire to abuse the five minutes rule for the purpose of delay. Mr. Wextwortn—I call for tellers. Mr. Root—One word a nee Cuainman—The gentleman from Illinois ob- jects. Mr. Root—My proposition is, that the bill be taken vp. le gentlemen want to go on, I will stay here to- night. The confusion which had continued to prevail had in no degree abated. A motion was made that the committee rise. A vote was taken, Mr. Wextwontn—I rise to a question of order. Were not tellers on the floor? The appeal, whatever it was, was withdrawn. Mr. Cons—I will renew it, if—[the rest of the sen- tence|was swallowed up in the noise. The French minister retired.) Mr. WentwortH—I rise to a question of order. the question peremptorily withdrawn ? The Cuainman—It is. Mr. Durr (in a bold, loud voice ; and it had to be loud to be heard)—I want to say one word. [*Ob- ject,” “ object.’ Tellers were appointed on the motion for the com- mittee to rise. Mr. Cons raised a question in behalf of Mr. Jones, of Tennessee, who had asked to be excused from vot- ng. Rome little fuss and muss ensued, and The Cuainman made a decision, from which Mr. Cons (who appeared to be the spokesman from the democrats) appealed. The Cuarmman—It is not in order, on the ground that an appeal is already pending. [Perhaps it may be well to state that the democrats and the whigs were engaged in « parliamentary “‘skrimmage’? about what business should or should THE DAY DAWNS. Mr. Monenran (a gallant Kentuckian) —I pro) that we take up the bill (for the preservation of pub- lic works, and for the survey of har ), then rise and report progress, and in the House pass a resolution to oe dieeae™ ir. Conn—I withdraw my appeal on the suggestion of the gentleman. meee Mr. Virton—Before we rise, 1 suggest whether it be in the power of the House to suspend the five minutes rule. This I desize. Mr. mpeg ei -I have assurances that there is no disposition On the other side to offer amendments merely for purposes of delay. M there should be any abuse of the five minutes rule, it can be abolished. ‘The Cuainmax—The appeal having been withdrawn, the bill is before the House. an” Moreneav—Then I move that the committee se. ‘The motion prevailed, and Mr. Moreneap offered an amendment, which was agreed to, that the debate on the bill making appro- priations for the preservation and repair of the public works upon certain rivers and harbors, and for the survey of certain harbors, cease on Wednesday, at twelve o'clock. Mr. Cane rose to a privileged question, viz : to in- troduce a reso:ution, that the House hereafter take a aitly recess from four to eight o'clock. i House refused to suspend the rules to consider it; and they again went into committee. THE SLAVERY QUESTION, Mr. Hunt arose to make explanations with regard to the bill; and we went to dinner. When we returned at feven o'clock, after an hour's absence, Nir, Hounes, of New York, was on the floor, deliver- ing a neat little speech in favor of free soil, and against the extension of “the blight of slavery” to New Mexico and California Mr Mar me State, spoke upon the sub- ject, and maintained that the power of Congress to legislate for the territories was so clear as not to admit of any argument, Mr. Tunnen, of Illinois, objected to the course of gentlemen from the North, and the North; and it was bis opinion that the abolitionists were the greatest enemies of freedom, by keeping up & continual exci ment. He had always held that the United States government has aright to establish governments in territories. We have no right, having conquered ter- ritory, to change the municipal laws in any way, when they do not come into conflict with the consti- tution. He was, however, opposed to the Wilmot proviro, and for the best reasons in the world; and for the reason that he was opposed to flogging Mexico, and taking her territory and then giving it back to show her we can do it; ‘and, because it is a nullity; and, beeaure ita mere absurd abstraction of an ide: nd can carry no good practical result with it. He main- tained the views set forth in General Cass’s Nicholson letter. The hall, at nine o'clock, was brilliantly lighted. ‘The chandelier turned the night into day.

If the democrats hi gone astray, how is it that they are the lineal descendants? Did not John Quincy Adams carry out there principles? And yet the whiz are charged with not adhering to republican principles! And why? Because the y calling themselves demo- erste, have departed from original democracy, They charge the whigs with being the federal party, because they themselves are the federal party. Every doc- trine they once advocated they now oppose, It was not neceseary for the whigs at Philadelphia to lay down their platform; their principles are always the same--the same now as aity years ago Mr. Pertir—You say that you have the same doe- triner as heretofore I ark you, are you. asa patty, in favor of a National Bank?

The honorable gentleman then proceeded to show that the democrats had changed their position, as their President changed hia; first, in favor of a mea- sure, then against it. His dry and earnest manner produced freqvent bursts of laughter. He said that he would now pay his respects to the President ; but, be- Fore he got under way, his hour expired. [1+ appealed for a little more time, Mr. Wick was assigned the floor. Mr. Fisuer—Will you give me ten minutes? SPEAKING TO THE GALLE Mr. Wick—Not to come out (‘Go on, Wick.”] He obtained the floor, not for the purpose certainly of speaking to the country, for he would never undertake the labor of writing out his speech ; he would not speak to the House, for there was but little of it here, ha'] and, so God help i] him, he would speak to the galleries. (Wick, come down further in the hall; we want to hear you.” He left the frontier, and came more to the centre.) said that his speech would be apologetic, explanatory, and partly denun- ciatory. He had never read a book of rules, and, so Bein h God, be never would. Rules were made for government of little minds, and therefore he didn’t read them. (Ha! ha!) The democrats had to swallow extra officers for the army to pay for the soldiers. (A Voice—* 1 id, however, and a big swallow it was. He gave his views on the Texas annexation question, and he did not believe that the South wished to extend the area of slavery and to ne here more votes. He did not believe this, nor did his constituents. With reference to Mr. Stewart's expositicn of General Cass’s extra ay for services as Indian agent, he said that Ogle, in jong list of expenditures for 's house, from the commence- ment of the government down to the period of the de- livery of the speech; but for thishe was sufficiently damned; and will the gentleman from Pennsylvania k into a damnation of the same kind? In his ie inion it was folly for northern men to vote against the compromise bill from the Senate, and it it the extra not.”) He was a mighty short sighted piece of business for southern men to vote against it. Speaking of barn- burners and others, he said, that he yesterday re- ceived a letter from one of his constituents, who said that, although he differed with Cass on the subject of slavery and internal iitprovements, he didn’t care. General Cass was a damned sight better than a whig, (Ha! ha! ha!) New York war called the Empire State by courtesy, and she was 80 in her own estimation, and she thought that the de- mocrats would surrender to her the reins of govern- ment forever, and aday longer. The great secret is, if the South had adhered and given in their allegiance to“ the Northern man with Southern principles,” all would bave been right New York would have crush- ed abolitionism, and nourished democracy, They thought that if the fox stuck out his brush, the whige, democrats, and abolitionists would run after him; and this is just what the historian, with the pen of truth, will write. They had an idea that the Southern States would become alarmed. and that the North would fly for refuge to one of their own men, instead of their own principles, and they thought that they would bring the election of President iuto the House, and stand the chances. At eleven o'clock, when Mr. Wick con luded, the committee rose, And the House adjourned until to-morrow, at ten o'clock. —_——— Gryeva CouiEGe.—The annual commencement exercises of this College were held in the Metho- dist church, Geneva, on Wednesday last. The weather was delightfully pleasant, and the occa- sion called together a large number of gentlemen and ladies from the neighboring towns and vil- lages. At 10 o’clock, A. M , the students, trustees, faculty, citizens and strangers, preceded by the Auburn band, went in procession from the college to the church, a distance of half a mile. The church was filled to its utmost capacity with an audience which listened with much apparent in- terest to the exercises, which were continued for two hours and a half.
