Though it had not been generally known that the Senator was al- ways a democrat, the fact could not now be quostioned; and asthe Senator bad so suddenly changed his polities and goue over to the whigx, Beha his change on this ‘bill was not surprising, (Laughter.

Mr. Dovcras, (dem.) of Ill, said the Senator from Connecticut was fortunate in having the Senator from North Carolina to reply for him instead of himself. if this letter, bearing the Scnator’s signature, was a hoax, he wished the Senator to declare fi to be such. He wished the Senator also to say, whether that letter was not franked and sent off by those very persons whose names were attaebed to it? Mr, Surtn—I_ occupy my seat here for the purpose of attending to the proper business of legislation, and when any Senator eofar forgets what Ir due to the Senate. as to bring in here the base blackgusrdiem of the newspapers, I will elways treat it with silent contempt.* Mr Waxsea said be admitted that he might buve vio- lated the rules by reading a circular signed by the Sona- tor, and briefly responded to the Senator's remark, in which it was acknowledged that the ciroular was a picco ot pase blsckguardism. Mr. Doveras raid be had reason now to believe this circular was net altogether a hoax. He had seon copies ef it returned to this city, with envelopes bearing the franks of those whose nasaes were printed as signory to it. One of there was shown to a member of the [lovse, whore mame was attached to it, and he scknowledged that he lund franked it, Tere was evidence, then, that this was sent out as @ genuine document, to convey tle impression that there were democratic members, who repudiated their romination. as whig members had. Hoe would leave the morality of the matter to others to determine. He would leave the people to judge of the blackguardiam of reading that cirewar here, or of sending it forth as a genvine document, Mr Jones, (bla) of Tenn., regretted that such im- portance had been given to this matter. Ho was not hereywhon it appeared, The name of one of his colloagues, in the other Hovure, was attached to it | When he re- turned to the city, he raw it, thought it strange, and arked his collesgue what it meant Ho was told that it was alla hoax, No one eupposed it was anything but a hoax, got up by some mischievous body. Did anybopy suppore that Willie P. Mangum ever sIgned that paper, or that he or any one of thoso whoce names were attached to it, would endeavour to make any one believe that they had been democrats? But now a light had flashed upom them, and they would vote for Scott. They could at- tempt no such imposition. The papers of this city had propouncod the thing @ hoax, Mr. Dove.as thought that when the Senator from Nerth Carolina called it s boax, and when it was shown thae the paper had been circulated under the franks of those whose names were placed to it, that it was but pro- per to ask the Senator from Comnecticat, whose name ‘was toit, whether he hadvever signed it. or whether it was cent outas® genuine document, That Senator re- fused to say it was ahoax. He would ike to know, also, of the Senator from Connecticut something as to these huget oxes of Whig documents received daily from New York, and to fold which occupied ail the time of the whole force in the Senate room. Mr. Waxxen asked if the Senator from Tennessee could ay his colleague had never signed the paper ? Mr Jonrs said his colleague told him the thing was a hosx.” His colleague would answer the Senator if ho i dapply to him Ms. Warker said ho thought the Sovator might have bee :ableto say whether his colleague had signed it or not. One of those whose names were to it, was in the Senate, but he refused to deny that ho signed it. He would be glad to know how many of the papers were sent to North Carolina? Mr. Jones said he could not answer. He knew nothing of it, There were, however, no more whig documents folded in the Senate folding room than democratic. No whig Senator franked more documents than the Senstor from Illinois. He would, if asked, frank this hoax to any sepsible man, because it could deceive no person. Mr. Hae, (free soil) of N. H., moved toamend the Dill by adding to it the Homestead bill. He supported the amendment, and urged that this was the only hope of gotting that bill throngh. Mr, Saurn opposed attaching House bills to Senate bills, He was for acting on Houce bills themselves.

It had been ascertained, he said, that imn \uny in- stances the repairs put on a versel cost as mucl tas the original construction of the vessel; therefore it wa ‘better to sell her, and build a new one, with all the m todern improvemonts of steam and sailing qualities. Thes econd branch of the amendmont provides that the Secret ity of the Navy shall cause to be built a vessel of war, » ‘hose frame shill be of white oak, and of the best and moa t ap- proved model for sailing, to be fitted with auxiliary st cam power, and to be armod exclusively with the best and a 20st destructive ordnance, which, according to recent . im- provements, it is possible to carry with safety and of rve with efficiency at sea, In this connection. he proceeded | to show the importance of the recent exporimente in gn '0- nery at tho navy yard in this city, and, by reference to doouments, demonstrating great improvement us vo th ¢ destructive character! of the ordnance propesed, Tho object was to present the oxample of a ship which woul | render an alicration in every uavy in the world, if they” expect to cope with modern enginory in time of war. Ie dwelt upon these poiuts, showing that by the improves ments suggested upwards of two millions of dollars wilh be suved annually to the country. Mr. Bowir, (dem.) of Ky., alluded te the disparity and. disproportion of the American navy. as compared with those of Europe, and more particularly that of England.

Casa, Buebanan, and Douglas, and their splendid bida to the South for the Presidency, proceeded to speak of the whig and democratic national conventions, and to oon- demn their action on the slavery question, which he said Wos an outrageous and crucl attempt to silence the voice of mankind ona subject most important to the human heart, Thoy might as well have tried to fforce the cak back into the acorn, or @rive the spirit of the nineteenth century back into the dark ager, as to silence discussion on this subject. He then proceeded to condemn slavery in the strongest terms, depicting the degrading evils and enormons crimes atteched to it, when Mr. Poux, (dem.) of Tenm., asked him to paint a pic- ture of the negroes in the Northern States. Mr. Mawn—T will at another time, Mr, Pox—TI insist upon it now, The remarks are un- worthy of a member on this floor, and therefore I ask that He give it now. ‘This produced cousidcrable sensation aad cries of der,” * order,”’ Mr. Manx—Tho gentleman must not forbid our disouss- ing slavery. Mr. Porx—I brand as a slander that which you are guilty of utterin, Mr, Manx—It is not for others, whon a gentleman ob- tains the floor, to dictate the topics on whioh he shail speak, Par Porx, who was seated on the opposite side of the hall, cried out, ‘ You have perpetrated a foul slander on the South,”” Cries of “ order,” and muck excitement. Mr. Hansis, (dem.) of Ala , rose to a question of order, ‘The gentleman was assailing an existing institution of the South—an institution sanctioned by the constitution. The Cusimman—Mr, Fioklin, (dom) of Il.—decided that tho latitude of debate in committees was broad, and the gentleman wasin order. Gentlemen were now standing in all pyrta of the hall. Mr. Poux—-} would ask whether it waa right for the gontieman to thus asseil the institutions of the South, in which eo many of us are interested, when he does not hold himself responsible for the insult, Cries of “order.” and banging of the Chairman's gavel, Mr. Maxx—I hope this interruption will not come out of my time.

(Laughter ) Mr. Maape.—The two platforms and the thirty-firet tule, prohibit the discussion of the question before the ocmmittee, for it ie not germain to the subject pending. ‘The Crramatan said if his decision was not satisfactory, an appeal could be taken from it. Mr Camvnsit, (whig) of Obio, said some gentlemen, who had talked about overything else, could appeal, Mr. Poux.—I take the responsibility, and sppea! from the deeision of the chair, and I bold the gentleman from Ohioin the sone contempt I do the gentleman from Mas- rachusetts, I say tothe gentleman from Ohio, I hold him——(The remaining part of Mr. Polk’s sentence was drowned in loud cries of “order,” “order.’?) ‘The question having been taken, the Chairman was su, tained in deciding the gentleman from Massachusotte ig order. Comparative quiet ensued, when Mr. Mann resumed and concluded his remarks, show- ing, among otber things, how baal Mesars, Fillmore, Cass, Buchanan, Webster, and other distinguished mem- bers bad been treated by the South, notwithstauding their submission to the slave power. fo also expressed his surprive that an attempt had been made to gag him down, beoause he spoke the words of truth.
