Mr Nesom, (whig,) of New York. moved the House go inte committee on the private calendar, ‘The rules were not suspended —T1 to 91. The Houre then went into Committve of the Whole on the State of the Union, and resumed the coasidera- tion of the CIVIL AND DIPLOMATIC APPREPRIATION BILL, Mr. Sreriens. (whig,) of Ge wt out by saying, that the President has, in his recent message. assumed Power not conferred ‘on bim, and the question on which he proposed to adress the committee, was the extent of the power which the coastitutioa and the laws of the United States conterred on him to call on the military torces to execute his commands. The | President has no rightful autbority to appeal te the militery power of the country. unless the laws have been obstructed by judicial proceedings The civil is superior to the military power. The President is to fee that the treaty, which is said to be the supreme law ef the land. is carried out pursuant to law. Batis there any nw to carry out the treaty with Mexico? ‘This i+ the question, and until Congress and this gov- ernment speak- until we say how these rights shall be | determined and what they are under the treaty—there is no law to be executed, The President can. under the act of 1795, call out the military ouly wheo the laws are obstructed. There must first be @ law defia- ing the rights under the treaty, This priaciple livs at the foundation of the civil liberty established by che constitution. The old Barons at Kuanymede extorted from King Jobn this right, that “no freeman shall be seized. or imprisoned, or dispossessed, or outlawed. or ny way destroyed, but by the judgment of his peers, d the laws of the land.” He would ask. do we estab- lish the principle that the President shall override all this. define « man’s liberty. and use military force, for the purpore of oppression and without law! How oan the President eny that Texas does not extend within New Mexico, unives he assumes to decide the law? Mr. Moons (vhig.) of Pa.. iuquired whether there is not a law lenving tothe federal government the settle- ment of the boundary question ? Mr. Stxrnens replied. that the annexation resolu- tions did not it this government to any line of boundary. The constitution of that State defines ber boundary to be from the mouth to the rource of the Kio Gratide, aad with this boundary she applied, and was admitted. Mexico does not disputethe boun- dary now if the only claim had been extinguished by the treaty with Mexico, how can any one dispute the claim ct Texas. This government was the um- pire, and cettled the question with Mexico, Where ever an army, without authority of law, shoots down citizens, he should hold every man a traitor to his country who would not resist Ife apsroved of the concilistory part of the messaze, aad was anxious for the settlement ot the question He was, however, for settling on principles of justice and equity, and he would say to Nortaern gentie- men who are coutinually speaking about the Union, that it is for them to say whether it shall be preserved. He claimed en equal participation in the property of the United States.and never would acknowledge ce lon government arrayed against the pro- perty and the sccial order of the South. No people deserved the name ot freemen, who submitted to be kieked and trampled on. It was for the North to esti- © the value of the Union The sickly sentimen- 'y to makenegroes equal with the whites, was but quarrelling with God Almtghty. A gentleman from | Mareachusetts said that he would rather see war, de- | Variation, and famine, than that slavery should be ex- | tended over one foot of the territory Mr. Many. (whig) of Massachusetts, explained. The point in the discussion was. the extension ot slavery over the terriiory Although he would coasider this @ greater evil than any that couldjbefal the country, he bever said that he would prefer war, devastation, and fomine, to the extension of slavery over one toot of the territory Mr. Srernexs understood him that way. The gen- tleman now says that be would prefer famine and devastotion, und the South laid waste, rather than siaves shail be scattered over the territory. If this is the issue of the North let us koow it, Mr. McKimsocx, (whig) of New York, asked whether it was fair to charge the North with entertaining sen- Uments expressed by one or two gentlemen, Mr. Sreruens said that he did not beiieve that this ‘was the ral seotiment of the North \d in con. clusion. be said, if we are not to have any portion of thie country, let us, at least, meet the United States cpenly.

Henry Clay at Newport—His Reception — The Empire State Steamer—The Crowded Ap- pearance of Nerport—Mr. Clay's Opinion of the Policy of the Herald with regard to the Compro- mise—The Bellevue House Hotel. Yestyyday evening, at five o'clock, I left New York, by the Empire State steamer, which had on bourd upwards of three hundred passengers, umongst whom was the able and renowned advo- cate of the Compromise bill, the Hon. Henry Clay, of Kentucky, who, after eight months of labor in endeavoring to carry that meusure, now seeks some essential repose and relexution, and has most wisely selected this beautiful spot for the renova- tion of his strength, Which must be somewhat i paired by his arduous and untiring duties. Bel leaving the dock, the assembled thousands called so lustily for him, that the venerable statesman cume to the vessel’s side and bowed his ackaow- ledgements, and those who thronged the piers conurued toe hiro tl their oes died upoa the waters, or were drowned by the more boister- ous yet not Jess complimentary salates of guns, fired from the various vessels Which we passed. ‘There is no incident to note on our passage hither. Mr. Clay waiked the spacious saloons of the ves- sel, ond conversed eflably with several persons whom he knew, and atter partaking of tea, retired to slate room about hal!-past eight o'clock. The Empue State, the capacity of which, together with ber regulanty, and the gentlemanly deport ment of her oflicers, is so well kuown tothe pablic, came steadily to port at her usoal hour, half-past two o’elock this morning, under the skiifal aad ju- dicions guidance of her commander, Capt. Beaya- min Brayton. ‘This vessel is worthily a favorite. On — here this morning, | repaired to the Bellevue House, where Mr. Clay is located, bat numbers, like myself, were doomed to disappoiat- ment in our nepe to obtain a bed. The house was Kiled to excess; not a resting place was to be had; these Who found a sofa were indeed fortunate though six or seven lay sleeping in the | saloon.

At dinner, in the magnificent end spacious diaing tvlocu of the Bellevue House, there were nearly three hundied persons sat dowa—three long tables | beng laid out In the most recherché. style, which wou'd do credit to any hotel in the Empire City. 1 thail not, unnecessarily, extend this correspoa- dence, by giving you “the bill of fare,” but will sunply sey it Was wll that either delicacy or a great degice ot appetite could desire, and the attention of Mi W.
