Mr. Morrow presented the petition of a person who claims to have invented a machine for taking accurately the yeas and nays. Numerous petitions were presented against the exten- sion of the Woodworth patent. Mr. Dawson presented a petition from certain citi zena of Georgia, remonstrating against the admission of Utah as aStateinto the Union, on the ground that tho Mor- mon religion—particularly that feature recognising polygamy—is anti-republican, Mr. Séwann, (free toil) of N. Y., presented the memo- rial of citizens of New Jersey, remonstrating against the United States permitting the intervention of Kussia against Hungary passing without condemnation. Mr. Bropxrab, (dem.) of Pa,, presented the petisian of sundry persons in Pittsburg and St. Louis, asking for a patent for the preparation of Russia iron. Mr. Sumyra, (free soil) of Mass.. introduced aumerous petitions for cheap ocean pestage. THE MEVOMINIF LANDS.

He said that it was certain that thise xpedition would eall for a, large appror priation; and be! ore it left the country, its object ought to Le known. Mr. Gwin. (9 om.) of Cal., objected, and. tho resolution was nid over, NAME TO HE CHANGED. : Mr. Dovat 4s, (dem.) of Mi., introduced a bill changing the nome ¢ of Joseph Louis Breezo, midshipman in the 31, 1852 Num!

He could ¥ jy see what power Congress had over the subject, whew ¥ 16 party was not a resident of this district. Mr. parr.

The bill, after some furtwer debate, was ordered to be * engrossed, by yeas 26, nays 17. THE UNITED STATES AND MEXICAN MAIL TYRACTS WITH STEAMSHIP LIN’ On motion of Mr. Sor (dem.) of La., the Senate took up the bill authorizing the Postmaster General to enter into a contract for the term of five years, fora sum not exceeding $100,000 a year, with W. C. Templeton. for the transportation of the United States mails, three times amonth, from New Orleans. via Tampico. to Vera Cruz and back, in steamers of vot less than eight hundred tons burthen, of the best form of construction adapted to war purposes and tothe navigation of the Southern waters; the same to be ready in the shortest possible time. Mr. Cass. (dem.) of Mich,, said he was in favor of the bill, and if the name of the contractor was stricken out, and the subject left to open competition. and leaving the lity of the contract on the Postmaster General, rit PROPOSED CON- Mr Sori pointed out he benefit resulting to the whole country from the establishment of this lino of communication between New Orleans and Mexico. The . in afew years, would more than amount tothe sum to be paid by the government Mr. Curmens, (dem.) of Ala., moved an amendment. striking out the contractor named in the, bill and autho- « the contract to be made with such person or per- sons as may give sufliciont and satisfactory security, after due public notice by advertisement for proposals, &e Mr. Davis, (whig) of Mass. suggested that the bill should be further amended by striking out the provision requiring the vessels to be adapted to war purposes. He was highly in favor of having the contracts put out to competition. Mr. Rsk. (dem) of T tem of giving contracts casee Mr. Sovi.r explained his bill Mr. Bontaxb, (dem.) of Ark., made a long speech against the practice of creating 2 monopoly in the trans- portation of the mails insteamers. He was in favor of a uniform system of mail contracts, the same system to operate on the sea and land, He was for advertising for proposals for the transportation of the mails in steamers, and giving contracts to the lowest responsible bidders. Mr. Matcony, (dem,) of Fla,, supposed that this waa 3, replied. opposing the sya- he lowest bidders in such treasury to «upport steam lines generally, He hoped the words “adapted to war purposes’ we uld be stricken out Not # vessel was yet built under contracts calling for such & clues of vessels for war purposes, and not one could now be used in naval warfare. without going to an expense of $150,000, Mr, Clemens's amendment w: Mr. Henren, (dem.) of V “ adapted to war purposes,”? Mr, Cuase, (free soil) of Ohio, advocated the passage of the bill Mr. P agreed to. , moved to strike out 11 opposed the amendment, The same price, allowed whether the vessels were constructed for war purposes, or not; and why not, he enquired, have them the best and strongest that can be built? All the steamers for the Northern cities, were built in such» manner as to be easily adapted to war purposes; and why should the only Southern line be differently constructed ? ‘These vorsels Ought to be armed—it wouid give them the mana of self protection. ‘The British vessols aro all armed. and passengers and shippers of freight, such as bullion, are better eatistied with (he protection thus given Mr. Harn oj upon the larg xed the amendment, and com mented nerense of the naval expenditures, repeated, that not a ag United States mod steamer yet built was aultable for war purposes, ard there were pot three old commodores in the service the commencement of a system of drafta upon the publlo | but would give tho same opinion. The British mail steamers were not fitted for war purposes, Mr. Hare asked if the contracts for the construction of the Cunard line did not require that they should be adapted for war purposes, and that, if wanted, they could be taken by the Admiralty at any moment. Mr. Matuony said he did not know what. the contract was; but he knew that none of the Cunard steamers were suitable for war Lg eae Mr. Bancer opposed the amendment. He did not agree that no steamer yet built for transportation was capable of being converted into a war vessel ; and even if the question was referred to any three old commodores, and they said that the vessels engaged now in the tra ation of the maila, were not adapted to war purposes, he would not regard that opinion as eon- elusive. Commodores were not the best Judges of the construction of vessels. The American steamers had been constructed under the direction of practicalsmen and officers well acquainted with the construction of vessels for particular purposes; and until it was demonstrated that they were not suited for war purposes, he would continue to believe they were, He alluded to the professional pre- judice which always existed in oppositition to improve- ments; the same existed in the navy. Commodores had made voyages, fought battles, and gained victories in sail- ing vessels, and the old salts—— Mr, Cass—Old fogies, Mr. Bapcer,—Yes, old fogies, seo no reason for the im- provements which would do away with the old olasa of vessels and adopt that of steamors, Mr. Hamuin, (dem.) of Me., opposed the amendment. Messrs, Bortann and Cass spoke in favor of the amend- ment, and it was agreed to. by ayes 19, noes 15. Mr. Boxtanp introduced an additional section, pro- viding for a daily mail between Louisviile, (Ky) and New Orleans, and supplying the immediate towns and cities; and after a debate, prolonged to near 4 o'eloek, withdrew it, Mr. Brut, (whig) of Tenn., then reported to the Senate Mr, Hunter's amondment. which was concurred in— yeas 24. nays 2), ‘he bill was then ordcred to be on- grossed. PROPORED ALTERATION OF THE TARIFF. Mr. Mien. (whig) of New York, submitted resolu- tions deciaring that the paramount interests of the coun- try required that the duties proscribed by tho tariff act of 1846, should bo altered and modified so that while they may raise sufficient revenue to moet the wants of the government, they may also give proper enoourage- ment and protection to American. labor, enterprise and capital. and also to guard against the known abuses and fiaud in the collection of ita revenue Ordered to be printed. ‘The Senate then adjourned.

THE HOMESTEAD BILL—MOTION TO CLOSE DEBATE WITII- DRAWN, Mr. Cranx. dem.) of Towa, after saying that there appeared to be a desire to debate the Homestead bill at greater length than ho had supposed. withdrew tho reso- lution, which he offered yesterday, to close the debate on that billin two hours, MILITARY LAND WARRANTS. Mr. Hexpricks, (dem.) of Ta., introduced a joint reso- lution, constraing an act in. relation to military land warrnts, which was referred tothe Committee on Mili- tary Affairs. THE WYANDOTTY: LANDS. Committees were then called, when Mr. Cons, (dem.) of Alabama, from the Committes on Public Lands, re- ported a bill, amendatory of the act of March, 1843, providing for the salo of-laads in Ohio and Blichigan, ceded by the Wyandott's. Mr. Fircr. (dem.) of Ia., remarked, that the inside barbarians made so much noise that gentlemen could not act understandingly on the question. Further proceedings ensued. when the bill was passed. LANDS FOM RAILROA® PURPOSES, ETC. Mr. Conn also-introduead several other bills, one of which grants the right of way, and makes donations of land to Alabama, to aid.in tho constructionof the Mom- phis and Charleston Railroad. He briefly explained that this road wiil be part of the chain connecting the north- cast withthe Atlantic, He wished it put on its passage, because, if it should be referred to the Committee of the Whoie on the State of the Union, it will never be acted upon, itr; Jounson, (dem.) of Ark., called upon the gentlo- men favorable to grauts for railroad purposes, to sustain him inthe motion which he should make. He wishod this to be a test question, as applying to all theso measures, and they should know now-whetber the measures are to be passed or killed. Mr. Conn raid tho road montioned in the bill would eost $2,800,000, $2,300,000 of which have been sub- ecribed. so that gentlemen. wili see thore is earnestnoas in the enterprise Mr. Srancy, (whig) of N.¢., wanted further timo for consideration. and did not wish his vote, to bo regarded as evidence, on bis part. for or against the ‘measures. Mr. Evans. (whig) of Md., took a similar view. Mr. Camrneit, (dem.),of UL., desired each of those bills to stand upon itsown merits, Io was opposed to formins combinations in which bils Lying no merits would b> included; aadvif he sliould be prohibited from makin expianations, he would resist the measure before thy Houee. Mr, Jorwsox, of Ark., resumed the floor, He said he could not. yield the flooz any more, Mr. Fowirn. (whig) of Maas. appealed to him to give wi "Mr. Jonssox.—Ifow can Lrefuse the reverend gontlo- man? (Laughter) Mr. Fowrer asked him whether he had ever voted to parceLout lands to the old Mr. Jonwsow.—No. sir— (Laughter. Mr, Fowrrr said, it is known that tho old States haye liberally givon lands to the new; and he would yote for the bill, providing that there shall be something like reci- procity; and he asked the gentleman whether he would Yotc far come proposition to give the old States lands for internal improvements? Mr. Jonnsow replied that ho had never seen but one proposition which he would support; but he didn’t be- lieve it coukd come before the House under favorable cir- cunstances. Mr. Vowrer.—Which of the number do you refer to? Mr. Jonxsox.—One the paternity of which i claimed by any member of this House, and poses to divide the Innds in proportion to the represen- tation in each Statosin Congress. Mr. Fower.—I am not tenacious as to any bill, but I want the principie. Mr, Seymour, (dem) of N. ¥., said there had beea nothing like a fuli and fair discussion of the bills of thia character. The gentleman from Arkansas will regard the yote on this bill as a test question ; but for his (Mr. Sey- mour’s) part. he wished to examine the bills betore he was called to vote upon them, Mr. Jonsson said that this ‘bill contained clauses simi- lar to the others for like purposes. The Committee of Public Lands have adopted ono fixed system and sot form of words ; if any gentleman is not acquainted with the terms of this bill it is because he has not given it his particular attention. Mr. Mracitamt, (whig) of Vt., wished to saya. word ‘The gentleman had cast reflections by saying that mom- bers have not examined the bills because they wont ex- amine them r. Jousson. —I disolaim casting reflections. If the gentleman so considers the remarks which I made, he must take my most humble apology in @e_ place of the motion. Inconclusion, ho moved the provious question, and called on the friends ofthe railroad moasures to aua- tain it. Pending this, the House went into Commit- tee on.

He then pro to detend President Fillmore from the remarks of Mr Breckenridge, and others, as to the course of the last named, when a member of tho House. on abolition petitions. and pointed to the proud positionof Mr. Fill- more on the compromise measures. which falsifies the charges mado against him in the canvass of “i4. H» éenicd. as had been asserted, that the merit of the com- promise measures belongs to the democracy alone, on the contrary. it was a triumph of patriotiam in which a { good men joined. he suggested, with the view of givin; tranquillity to the country. that both the whig and demo cratic parties inthe coming Presidential canvass, throw slavery out of the question, and that each party bring out a decided compromise man, He appealed to gentle men not to bid for abolition votes, for all know that this subject brought trouble on the country. He would not vote for any man who would not put himself on the re cord in favor of the compromise as a finality. We are told that General Scott, in a private conversation. en- dorses the compromise, Is this true? Ifso, he wa nek for the proof. General Scott has been nominated Maine, Pennsylvania, and Indiana, and not one word is said by the whig conventions in those States about the com promise. It is said in the papers that President Fillmore ms removed certain persons who entertained views a + verse to him onthe question of the Fugitive Slave law. If so, it isa proud featherin hiscap. If President Fidlmore, having stood firm and performed his duty, ia to be set aside for Gen. Scott. andif he should not avow his views on the compromise in a tangible form. he would conocive that such an omission was for the purpose oi catching higher law votes If this shall be the ease. Gen Scott would not get men enough in Tennessee to form an electoral ticket, He would vote for a compromise demo- crat in preference to a non-committal whig Mr. Ivcrnsont. (dem.) of Conn,, endorsed every word of the platform of the democracy of Connecticut, includ- ing the resolution endorsing the compromise, and was prepared to defend it here and elaewhere. He declared that he heid no political connection with agitators and apostates, who scarcely morit contempt; and in lia reply to Rantoul. said that that gontieman (who should be the very last to taunt othors with eating Southern dirt.) belongs to the rule or ruin party. For himself, he wanted the Union as it is, rather than auoh a form ef freedom, with such men as the gentleman from Massachu- aotie as his masters. Mr. Ingersol. was particularly se- vere on the abotitionista, regarding thom in the light of Arnold and Aaron Burr, Mr. Fowseen replied to the remarks of Mr. Hiliyer, horetofore delivaced, He defended the institutions and oharavter Of Massachusotés, and in this connection he said there are a hundred thousand girls in that State, of blooming checks, wart hoarts, of solid worth and poer- lors charms, Who bave no fear of competition with the black faces, which the gentleman had alluded to—they would compete with the world; I know, Mr. Chairman, (Mx. Hibbard) that your wife and mine will heartily ray Amen" {0 tho deciaration I have tied mime for | CATA Rgainst the subject thirty years. The Massachusetts girls are for liberty and Union. and are suro to triumph with their principles. He rejoiced that thore was not a slave in Massachusetts, and spoke of the general blessings enjoyed in that State. He then branched off to speak of the public lands, and Proposed to. set apart “some of the territory for he necessities of our colored countrymen. © This would bo just. With few exceptions. our colored Population are native Americans, They have culti- vated our fields, fought our battles, and are, there- fore, entitled to all immunities which we enjoy. They have the same noble impulses that we have, and their inalienable rights should be acknowledged. and thua in- sure tranquillity to the country. He would give all men a home on condition of settlement and cultivation of the soil; and advocated the tanff asa national question, He did not wish what was called a high tariff. but one true and stable, yielding revenues for the support of the government and protecting labor. He regarded slavery asthe only sectional question; we have dissented from such portions of the compromise meaaures aa recognized slavery; und condemned the expedition to the Chinese seas, if the object is to enforce, at all hazards, negotia- tions with the Japanese, who have contended for the right to manage their national concerns in their own way. Mr. Porten, (whig) of Mo., having obtained the floor, the committe rose and the House adjourned.

Conger, Platt. and Ward, adyo- cated tho bill—the latter gentleman particularly because the society of Methodists had always proved patriotic, and defended the country in tho war of 1812, which cer- tain other denominations did not do. No question was taken, The Hon. Truborn G. Lucke: and influential whig representative of the Sixth Assembly district, city of Mew York. gravely rose to a queation of privilego. in the Assembly, yesterday, aml took the cor- respondent of the New York Hewat to taak for stating that he (Mr. L.) desired the prasence of K. 1, Snow during the discussion of the Harlem bridge question. He denied it emphatically, in which he was perfectly justiti- ablo. Tho reporter intended to inform the readors of the nat that Mr. Luckey wanted Col. Snow to take part he Maine law discussion, and so it was written; but. as tho telegraph has its freaks. na well as members of the Legislature, the fickloness of electricity intervened, and did not send the word “Maine.” as in duty bound it should have dome, It was the excise bill, instead of the Harlem bridge. ‘The discussion on the canal contracts continued in the House last evening until alate hour, The speakers were Mr. Copeland and Mr. Cushing, the latter urging the confirmation of the contracts with much force and ability. ‘Tho amendment previously offered by Mr. Van Santvoord, giving the Canal Board power to annul any, contract which, in their opinion, was fraudulently awarded, was promptly yoted down. Mr. Yeoman's'(whig) offered a pre- amble, asserting that no sufficient cause had heen shown for impeaching their legal force and validity. The question was taken upon Mr. Cushing's bill, which, together with Mr. Y.'s preamble, was then paased in committee, and the report agreed to. by ayes G4, nays 20, and ordered to a third reading on‘! ‘There will be only five or six votes against it in the Senate. This bill haa produced greater unanimity than was first expected. It was thought its pssxage would set all the machinery in mo- tion; but from the stand taken by Mr. Newell: the au- ditor, who holds tho purse strings of the canal moneys, it is very doubtful whether ho will yield under Mr. Cush- ihg’s Dill. There is reason to believe ho will pay no drafts. even under that law. and resign his post rather than pay money under the provisions of the Canal bill, unleses the courts declare it constitutional. ‘The Canal Board has informed the Assembly that thoy Lave no control over the action of the Auditor. The discussion on the exciso bill commenced in the House this morning, and was continued during the even- ing scssion. ‘Twoor three tame speeches were made in the early part of the day, without exciting any interest: ‘The ultras possess no hopes of passing any bill this ses- sion, as there are only some dozen of working days left, This evening several speeches were made on both sides the highly respectable . Mr, Rose, (dem.) of New York. opposed the bill, and, in the course of his remarks, he quoted an assertion mace in the morning by Mr. Humphrey, (whig) of Wyoming. that the politics of the city of New York were entirely controlled hy rum-sellers. Miko Walsh inatantly sprang to his feet. and put this interrogatory:—*What stupid. unrelieved. unblusidng. and hopelessly depraved snob made use of that falsoand preposteriy impudent declaration?” After the debate closed, the committee reported the Dill to the House, the question was about being taken, Mike Walsh arose and remarked that he did not stand up to advocate those who have been termed rum- sellers. Hehad seen #o many of the best citizens struck down by their imprudence in tho too froe indulgence of intoxicating drinks—too many children made mis- erablo—too many wives rendered wretched—in the course of his experience, for him to justify the indis- criminate sale and use of alcoholic drink. Ho had seen too much impertinent interference by the shopkeepers in the eleetions, and in other matters, for him: to advocate any of their interests. Aes anxious as he was to advocate arcagonable reform, he gould not support measure 80 preposterous as the cue before the Hovse. He was free to say, that had a bil een proposed whigh did not inter- fero with private rights, he might have supported avg, votedit, But, as if is determinod that we must take the Maine law, or some similar law, he was not prepared to supaort If they Nad not atterapt- ed to dragoon the Legislature, they might have effected their pusposes so far as to pass some kiad of jaw; but such # one as thia the people will spit upon— will tread upon the ground. When you propose to go into such shameless extremes. some other place than New York should be selected, and some other time than the nineteeath century. and some other body than this Legislature. to pass such a law. Ile concluded by saying that he admitted there was much reagon for some right- eous law; he. however, cowid not vote fer the infamouz one now under consideration. Upon taking the question of agreving to the report of the committee, there were ayes, 51; noes, 6. ‘Shere were 41 members absent ‘This looks as if the Maine Liquor law would pass the House, Tho Senate was ongaged the whole evening upon the steamship bills; and the debate turned upon the ques- tion of incorporating by ial charter or under a geno- Taliaw.
