After the pessage of twelve or fifteen the tranraction of other business, a little debate ‘wp, not eltogether u In order toa better understanding of the ndix, and other books, (to the value, $750.) provided it was not necessary to re- print. The old members had received these volumes, andan arg f of privilege was thus to be establisued. The clerk, at the opening of the present session, made a report, to the effect that there were several hundred ‘copies of one of the works in the State Department, and he made a few suggestions. is communication was referred to the Committee on Printing, and to-day it made s report, in substance, that some of the books could be procured from booksellers and traders, and recommended the passage of a resolution, authorising the clerk of the Houre to buy the volumes to make sets, at a price not exceeding that at which they have been heretofore purchased. This is believed to be a very brief, but a true, outline of the history. And now for ‘the action consequent thereon. i Mr. Srevuexs baving made a motion to adjourn, which was disagreed to, Mr. Ka ya said :—I have been in the habit of voting for books for myself; but 1 rise to remark that three or four hundred of those which have been voted to others have been going the rounds of Congress for ‘the last ten years” | waut the books ordered for the mew members to be sent to thelr residences, | amcon- fident that books have been taken by members, and sold for a few dollarscnly, to people who deal in the atticle in this city. (“ Name them ’’ * Gives us the names’ “What does he say’ “That members have cold their books "'} Mr. Hont immediately arose, and remarked, amid the confurion thet prevailed: “The gentleman, Mr. Speaker, ought notto make charges of that kind — [".No, it’s wrong” “ Give us the names.”"} Mr. Wentworth (bis seven foot form still towering in the hall )—1 have given facts, aud have the evidence Mr C.

I have always been of thisopinion. There are books with marked covers still here in this city. Mr. McLean desired to know whether, if the report of the committee, and the resolution appended thereto, be laid upon the table by the House, the Clerk would be under any obligation to procure the boo! Mr, Westwoutn resumed—There are 0! than any of us, who have carried the r I think that we once h: ‘and all J ask is, when we give these books of schools or libraries, that they shail 1 believe that if the members of this Con- them home, we will never hear more of I wish to draw an amend- re sent to the residences of members. [Good; Isecond the mo- tion.” “I don’t.) It may costs little more for the tranrporta ion, but in the end Congress will save thousands of dollars. OPPOSITION EXPRESSED—GOOD FAITH Mr. McLane--I am opposed to the adoption of the report of the committee, and the resolution appended. ‘There can be no doubt that Congress, when they pass- ed the order last sestion, providing for there book: be farnithed, intended toact in good faith.

I am opposed to this; s ia the effect. I suppose I shall receive all the books which the clerk can obtain in, good faith, without re- d without purchasing. I suppose that the ich the Clerk announces, will be furnished to w member; and I suppose that the books not be got, will not be received. I hope that the Houre will lay on the table this report and reso- Tution, and leave the Clerk to act according to the ori- inal resolution, or refer the whole subject to the o I will not receive a book after the statement made by the gentleman from Iliinois, (Mr. Wentworth.) that the Clerk will obtain them by purchasing from members; and after that of the Clerk, that he cannot obtain them without a special contract with bookeell- ers. Ido not think that the gentleman from Illinois | should designate members. It is enough to know that | this is the mode and manner bywhich booksellers obtain these books. The gentleman knows that such is the mode and manner. We are aware that the Clerk is ready to distribute all the books which he has obtained in good faith, and J submit whether we ought to have additional legitiation.

Mr. McLans—I move that the resolution and report | be laid upon the table. STRONG TALK—“ VERITE SANS PEUR,”? i Mr. Cocxe—I think that it is high time thst the. House of Representatives should put an end to this, I think that the grosrest fraud and most outrageous proceedings are carried on, of which we cannot form an adequate conception. | think that it is wrong, | and grossly wrong, to deal in books so extensively. | The people know nothing about ‘his matter, and the | system which prevails. If the House will give me a ‘committee, I will show what is the condition, history, and system of purehasing books. How has it operated? ‘The Clerk tells you that the number of books is ex- | hausted, in part, and that the publishers (Gales and | Seaton) have not had a copy of them for years. and that they sold only for members of this House. How, | then, if the copies are exhausted, and if they were sold | only for members of the Houre, did the booksellers get them? They were procured in no other way, itis lain, than from members themeelves, or those who ve been members. (“ That's true.) This is the | only way. (° Have you received your books’) Yes, | and they are now at my home. What is the process | of disposing of the books? A gentleman goes to the | Dookseliers and offers them for sale.

FINAL ACTION, The Sreaxen called the attention of the House to an amendment which had been offered to the resolu- tion—that the original order for books be reseiuded.

Mr. McLanx moved to reconsider the vote by which the resolution was adopted, and that motion was laid upen the table; thus clenching the nail, and making the action on the proposition passed, beyond reversal, and fast, for all practical purposes, to obtain the books, After thus providing for the new members, who have as much right to valuable documents as the old, ‘The Houre adjourned till to-morrow. Bavtimore, Dec. 23, 1848. Fine Weather Agamm--Christmas Festivities-- Lectures by Horace Greeley and William H. Seward—Theatricals, §c. We have, at last, fine weather; and conse- quently, there is great rejoicing among the juve- niles, in view of the approaching holidays ; and also among our stcrekeepers, who have made most extensive arrangements for supplying articles suitable to the season. The most extensive supply of magnificent annuals are to be found on the counter of Mr. Wm. ‘Laylor, agent for the Herald, in the Jarvis Buildings, which has been thronged with purchasers for several days past. Horace Greeley, Esq., (or rather I should say the Hon.,) delivered a lecture last evening, before the Maryland Institute for the Promotion of the Mechanic Arts, his subject being self culture.— It was quite largely attended, and was a good lec- ture, only that, as usual, there was no medium ground—all his recommendations were to be car- ried to that extreme point which would fill the learner with more foolish vagaries than practical common sense. _ The Hon. Wilham H_ Seward also delivered a lecture at the same time, betore the Young Catholic Friend Society. It was, of course, able and elo- quent ; and his favorite theme, Ireland, formed a Asany, Dee. 20, 1848. ‘The Approaching Session of the Legulature—The Contest for the Unused States Senatorship, &e. As the period approaches for the opening of the legislative session, the indications that it will be an exciting if nota turbulent one, increase. There is, in truth, but little to be done in the way cf legitimate legislation, and perhaps stil] lees required by the commonwealth, or for the public welfare; but the advent of a new na. tional administratiog—the rich offices to be dis- posed of, and the spoils to be scrambled for, lend an additional importance to the contest for the Senatorial seat, soon to be vacated by the expira- tion of the term of Senator Dix; and for the suc- cessorehip of Mr. Fillmore in the Comptroller’s department, to be made vacant uj on hie assuming the duties of the Vice Presidency. It is now considered that the canvass for Sena- tor and Comptroller will be exceedingly close; and the struggles of the contestants are, therefore, becoming propertionably desperate. It 1s, in fact, a test of strength between the rival factions—the one headed by Fillmore, Collier, Fish, Granger, ard Gov. Young ; and the other by Weed, Rewatt, et 1d comme genus, and will decide the question o ascendency in the State and nation between them. Mr. Fillmore, reasonabiy apprehending that the success of Seward & Co. will lead to the embar- rassment if not the destruction of the section of which he is the leader, has boldly and fearlessly entered the lists, and undisguisedly avows his hostility to the _ex-Governor. His prominent po- sition as Vice President elect, and Comptroller in fact, cannot but have a controlling influence upon the result. Under the operations of the pre- gent constitution, the office of Comptroller is of great importanee. Through the relations existing between that officer and the innumerable subordi- nates connected with the canale of the state, and the patronage which, 1n defiance of all constitu- tional precautions, naturally flows from the con- tracts for repairs and improvements of the exten- sive public works which must be made under the supervision of the Comptroller, the name and station of that personage is a tower of strength, whose power, depend upon it, Mr. Fillmore will not hesitate to exercise, so far as he ean do so consistently with his public duty. In all fair efforts towards the election of some less obnoxious per- son than Gov. Seward, the Vice President elect i have the full and entire co-operation of Gov. Fish. Weed, Seward & Co. evidently appreciate the advantage which their antagonists have over them, through the influence of public stations, and hence are more desperate and less scrupulous in their eflorts for success ; it 18 also evident that they are less confident than they were a few weeks, and, even a few days, ago; indeed, as the period ap- proaches, the prospects of Seward are growing less and less enconTae ng for him. Added to those of Fillmore, Fish, &c., the active eflorts of Gov. Young are directed against Seward, and, depend upon it, the opposition of John Young is not to be despised. It is well known that when first nominated for Governor, he was the favorite candidate of Weed & Co., who encouraged, by every means in their power, the mad and revolu- tionary movements of the anti-renters ; and when the excitement growing out of those movements had died away, and the poenanty of Gov.

Old and young are rejoiced by a change in the weather, which has dried up the mud that, for two weeks past, encumbered our streets and side- walks. The streets are filled with all the world, his wife, and the children, making purchases fot the coming Chustmas ; and the storekeepers, who had begun to look blue at the prospect that theiT preparations should not meet with an adequate return, are now restored to good humor, as the crowd 1s flocking to their establishments. The rope used at the inclined plane broke, this morning, while a number of burthen cars were attached to it; and, coming down with a run, several of them were shattered. Fortunately no one was hurt. A most daring robbery occurred on Thursday night, at the Farmers’ & Mechanics’ Hotel, in Third street, above Franklin. The room occupied by Wm. Hallowell, in the second story, was entered, and a large iron safe was taken out of the back window over a shed into the yard, and then removed toa stable, where it was broken open, and the valuable papers contained in it scattere around. The papers being only of use to the owner, none were carried away. About a month since, this gentleman’s room was robbed of various valuables, and then set fire to; but being discover- ed in time, was extinguished without much da- mage to the building. The author of that outrage has been arrested, and is now awaiting trial for the burglary and arson. Last evening, a man of respectability, while under the influence of liquor, was detected in the bags, from a store in Chesnut street. Puaveruia, Dec. 21, 1848.

Sr. Louis, (Mo.), Dec. 8, 1843. News from the Far West. 1 have just received a letter from Council Grove, | The writer states that the weather (the let- dated Nov. 19) was very severe in the plains, and the men, being unused to the service, were sufiering much, and were quite discouraged. The escort consisted of some twenty-five men, taken frei Brevet Major Roberts’s corps of mounted rifles, who were raw reeruits. This wasa bad alTangement, as plenty of efficient and brave men could have been iecruited for the service on the frontier. The men were unacquainted with the management of animals, forming camp, huating, &e.; and Lieut. Beach was fearful that he would experience much trouble in rie through with them. Insubordination had also manitested itself, and rigorous discipline had become necessary. Reports were current at Council Grove that the Indians were very bad on the Arkansas—robbing eerecta crossing the plains of their animals, Lieut. B. had heard of this, and was determined to observe | ht precautions. Another letter from Independence, dated Nov. not submit the choice of Senator to the rascally intrigues and tricks of a caucus; there is a large majority ot the whig members of the the Senate opposed to Seward, and they are determined not to g0 into a joint caucus, to be overpowered by his friends in the Assembly. This determination has placed ‘little sorrel-top” (as his friends were wont to call him,) ina dilemma, from which he is now seeking the aid of the barn-burners, to extricate him. There are some twelve bara-buraing or free-soil members of the Assembly, and some four or five members of the Senate—if by any management, bargain, sale, or secret under- standing, he can secure the votes ef the barn-burners, his triumph is regarded as cer- tain. He 1s sufficiently cunning to perceive this. In consequence of this position ot affairs,he has found it advisable to open negotiations with a por- tion or that faction ; and already has he invoked the aid of his old friend, Bishop Hughes. You are aware that, ever since the agitation of the school question, when the Bishop ventured to lay aside his clerical robes, and enter the political arena, by participating in the Carro]l Hall move- ment, Sew and himselt have been inseparable friends. ie Freeman’s Ji , the Bishop’s organ, strenuously advocated the re-election of the ex-Governor in 1842, and he (Seward) has been pressed forward on all occasions—at repeal meet- ings, at the O’Connell obsequies, at St. Patrick dinners, and at other times and places, as the pe- cultar champion of all questions connected with Ireland and Catholicism. Many shrewdly sus- pected that the efforts of the ex-Governor in these Matters were not altogether disinterested ; and their suspicions wall be confirmed, periabes when they learn that he now looks to that interest for aid in obtaining the barn-burning vote. Toaccom- plish this object, a faithtul and zealous friend of the ae a Mr. Andrew Carrigan, of your city, who 18, I learn, a wealthy man and an active barn- burner, has been pressed into the service ; and active measures are being taken, by himself’ and two or three young men in New York connected with the same interest, to prevail upon the barn- burners to lend their assistance to secure the elec- tion of Seward, upon the pretence that he 1s full with them on the free soil question. If they sudceed, the Bishop will have a staunch friend at coart,and will, doubtless, have a controlling voice in all mat- ters connected with the mission to Rome, \c.; that is, ifold Rough and Ready don’t put a veto upon the ambitious designs of the aspiring prelate — There has for some time been e. mysterious rela- tionship existing between the Bishop and Thurlow | Weed, as you probably know; the latter has also been the correspondent of Father Mathew in this country ; but whether the ** Autocrat of the Jour- nal,” as Mr. Collier calls him, and the ex-Gover- nor will be able to turn the agitation of Repeal and the Catholic questions, in which they have taken part, to the seme profitable account that they did anti-masonty and anti-rentiem, remains to be seen. That attempts have been made by Weed and Sew- ard to avail themselves of the influence alluded to, there can be no doubt; and it is eqnally certain that individuals in New York and this place, who are known to obey the B: s will, have been exe tremely active in their endeavours to secure the votes of the free oilers tor the would-be Seaator.

Wear- ing his usual military coat and cap, he quietly took his way on foot to bis quarters; but the moment the word went round, “ There's Old Zack,” he had sach an es- cort that he found it almost impossible to put one foot before the other.

Each particular wink of it seems to fall upon you like a small flash of lightning ; and did not the smile upon his face forbid the idea, you would expect a small clap of thun- der to follow it immediately.

Gen. Taylor has been accustomed to sleepon the ground, on plank, and platforn, and he sleeps everywhere equally well. I donot know that he sleeps with one open, but if he should be beset at Wasbington by an army of office-holders and office seekers, fercing their way into the White House, | should not be surprised to hear that, wrapping him- selfin his blanket, he threw himself on the fioor, some night, near the entrance of the Executive mansion, with one of his eagle eyes wide open, to ‘see that the Republic receives no detriment.”” Gen, Taylor is ove of the most sociable men in the world, and when there is a jas crowd around him, he may be seen running about, chatting and laughin; pleazantly asif it was his particular business to m every one bappy; and you come away with the co viction that he is the only man of the whole crow who has not been thinking of President Taylor. In mixed assembly, he makes no allusionto political topics, though in company of personal friends, he speaks his mind very freely. His off-hand speech and be has made quite a number here—show unusual elligenee and concentration of thought, clothed in imple yet beautiful language.

During the season past, four steamboats have run regularly to the Falls of St. Anthony, and had more business than they coulddo. A new boat has been procured, and five boats will run to the Falls next spring. When we consider that the Falls of St. Anthony are seven hundred miles above St. Louis, in the heart of what was recently the Indian country, we can understand that such a business now 1s a wonderful fact. Such facts, however, are constantly occurring. The flood of emigration 1s spreading over the far Northwest, with resistless energy. Atthe Falls of St. Croix, sixty miles north ot the Falls of St. Anthony, there 1s a great dam erected, which 1s calculated for fifteen saw-mills. The country is full of fine timber, and the lumber business is now the principal pursuit there. At the mouth of Crow Wing. fifty miles west of St. Anthony, there are also settlements. In that remote region, the pro- cess of population and civilization is going on with great rapidity. In less than twenty years, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Minesota, will contain two millions of people; and, long before that time, new waves of emigration will flow far beyond that, into new wilderness lands. Thus a large part of that population which comes from Europe will be absorbed in prairies and woods, untrodden by c1- vilization. ‘Tue Cuocera 1n New Oreans.—A good deal of alarm was evinced, and we think unnecessarily, by our citizens, yesterday, owing to the announce- ment that the dread scourge of the east, Asiatic cholera, was in our midst. After making the most minute inquiries regarding the matter, we deem 1t our duty to state, that thus far, nothing has transpired sufficient to cause any great alarm. It 1s true, there have been two cases in the Charity Hospital, the parties being passengers on an Eng- lish vessel, recently arrived in this port. One was that of an old woman, who had been taken to the hospital, on the ship’s arrival, in a very low and debilitated state. The other was that of a passen- ger who lett the vessel in good health, and who, after being exposed to the rain and cold, and by imprudently indulging in the use of green fruit, was taken sick in his boarding-nouse, and con- veyed to the hospital yesterday morning. While we deem these isolated cases insufficient to cause any alarm, we would, nevertheless, urge on the city authorities the propriety of taking prompt Measures to enforce the sanatory regulations ot the Board of Health, in order that we may be pre- pared for the worst.—New Orleans Delta, Dec. 14.
