WHOLE NO. 7497. * INTERESTING POLITICAL INTELLIGENCE. The New York and New Hampshire Legisla- tures and the Administration, ke, o., ko. Our Albany se aan Ausitky, July 1, 1953. The Taylor Resolutions—The Inaugural—The Le- gislative Stampede. Yesterday was the most important day of the ses- sion of the present Legislature of this State, not from the passage of any act in its legislative capacity, but from the fact of the triumphant endorsement by the Assembly of the principles laid down in the inaugu- ral address of President Pierce—an endorsement sustained under the most peculiar circumstances, against the nearly unanimous vote of the whig mem- bers, and despite of the desertion of the barnburners and abolitionists. Every important feature of the inaugural has re- ceived an endorsement from the national democrats of the Assembly—the progressive ideas therein ad- vanced in regard to our foreign policy, the finality of the compromise measures, and the maintenance of the Fugitive Slave law. On the opening of the afternoon session, under the order of business permitting motions and resolutions, the resolutions of Mr. D. B.-Taylor, of New York, introduced on the 12th of March last, during the re- gular session, which had at that time met with a de- termined opposition from the barnburners, and been tabled, together with a substitute introduced by Mr. Gale, of New York, known as the “ Gale dodge,” supported by Mr. Champlin, of Allegany, and hig barnburner coadjutors, and also further amended by the introduction of the Buffalo free soil Van Buren and Adams platform, were all brought up on motion. Mr. Holley, whig, of Niagara, took the floor and en- tered upon a most interesting description of the he- terogeneous assemblage convened in Buffalo upon that free soil platform—whigs, democrats, free soil- ers, abolitionists, spirits in black, and men of every variety in the parti-colored conglomeration of fac- tion and disunion. The Adamses, Van Burens, Gates, Dix, Chase, Sumner, Douglas, Ward, and all the host of disorganizers, were portrayed by a master hand, and the scene brought back in vivid colors for the edification and pleasure of the barnburners who occupy s0 many seats upon the floor of the Assem- bly. The speech was received with great satisfac- tion by the national men, who enjoyed the rich ex- posé bythe gentleman, who was an eye witness, while the barnburners sat petrified in their seats or exhibited all the contortions of impotent rage. Scon after the conclusion of this brilliant and sar- castic speech, which fell like a bombshell among the barnburner host, the previous question was moved and sustained by the House, which brought the vote directly upon the resolutions introduced by Mr: Taylor. At this jancture Mr. Loomis, barnburner, of Herkimer, moved a division of the question, in order to take the vote upon each resolution separately, which was ordered ; and as the vote was about to proceed, the Speaker, Mr. Ludlow, barnburner, of Suffolk, left the chair, calling Mr. Ellsworth, whig, of Cattaraugus, occupy his seat, and was goon seen in earnest “Consultation with Loomis Champlin, and other barnburners. The first reso- Iution of the ceries was carried after some delay in the disposition of several applications to be exsused from voting. Pending this vote: the Speaker took his hat and left the chamber, followed soon after. by Mr. Loomis and several other barnburners, who set the cue for their associates. Thesecond resolution was now taken up, and here commenced a scene of confusion. The barnburners eaw plainly that the national democrats were aroused, and were determined to press the resolutions through, and place themselves upon the record as sustaining the broad national principles laid down in the inau- ral. Motion after motion was made to adjourn, to y on the table, to excuse from voting, and on each Cp Laken eos Les Pets ae ie with a view procrastinate ; an ly, after the lapse of nearl, three hours, the second resolution was cantied, The FS apreen was now upon the last resolution,embracing i compromises, the Fugitive Slave law, and pledg- ing the State to their support. The excitement in the Houre was now intense, and the terrified barn- burners renewed in every form their motions with a view to stave off the final vote. A call of the House ‘was moved ; the ayes and noes taken and lost ; a motion to adjourn ; to lay on the table ; and to post- Pone, were successively put and voted down; and as one after the other the hopes of the barnburners to de- Jay or prevent action were lost, a squad of barnburners would be seen hastening to the door and abandoning the chamber, until, when the vote was ordered on the last resolution, there were but four barnburners left upon the floor, and they voted against the reso- n—one of them, Mr. Marsh, of Tompkias, taking the opportunity, on a motion to be excused, to make an out and-out barnburner speech, after the style of 1848, as set by Van Buren, Dix & Co. ; but, unfor- tonately for the completion his scene, and the de- velopement of barnburneri=m in 1853, the House did mot consent to hear his disorganizing, disunion harangue, and, by a decisive vote, compelled the gentleman to place himself upon the record, which he did, as an opponent of the Coie laid down in the inaugural. Messrs. Marsh, P. W. Rose, ‘of Jefferson, Chamberlain, of Columbia, and Cro- ker, of Tompkins, recorded themselves against the resolution ; the remaining democrats, trae to the National fuith, as promulgated at Baltimore, and reiterated in the maugural, stand recorded in favor of the resolution. The House adjourned immediately after the pas- sage of these resolutions, b nanimous vote, and the national democrats were loud in their congratu- lations over the triumph achieved. The Legislature of the State is now redeemed from the impatations cast upon it of refusing to endorse the principles laid down by the Chief euti in his inaugural; the first meve has been made in th ‘ate by the national democracy in support of the Baltimore platform since the late election; and the fact is now fixed, that who could spit 1 and ject the hag 8 Per promul national convention, while they wer tory and under the rallying cry of ‘Union and harmo- are bow the same disereanizing faction which 1 Lewis Cass in 154s, and have bred dissen- sion in the democratic rauke ever since. very barnburner member of the Assembly either dodged the vote on Mr. lor’s tuitions or re- corded himself ag: m, While the national democrats, who have been accused daring the whole of the last und this sess! d factions opposition, were the men w ¢ faithfully at their post, and with firmness and cousis- on designed to postpone, tency vated down every . and placed them- embarrass or defeat the reso! selves on the record as the ciples which were announced platform of the demo ie par’ the President as the principles upon which bis ad- ministration was based. rATOR. Arnany, July 1, 1853, The Political Excitement ia the Assembly—Barn bwner Resolutcon, giving a Left-handed Endorse. nent to Gencral Pierce—The Mather Case—The Naw York Park Question, §c. Ancther rich, racy, exciting, and unprofitable de- date, or harangue, occurred in the House this morning. Immediately after prayer the Speaker rose to a questicn of privilege. He stated that a morning pa- per of to-day makes a statement, in relation to the Occurrences of yesterday, which was incorrect. He read fromthe Argus:—“ Among the first of the fa- gitives was the Speaker, who, leaving the chair in poseestion of a whig, fled from the hall, making good his retreat before a question could be had on either of ‘the resolutions.” This statement the Speaker said, was grorsly false upon every point, except as to placing a whig in the chair. Had he been in the chair he should have voted for Mr. Taylor's resolutions; but, as to the implication of a dodge, he is not ac- quainted with the term. The Speaker also repri- manded the reporter, Mr. Gillett, and said no reporter ia entitled to a seat upon the floor unless he gives a Ue oeus ue @lso read icom the report, which states that the Ul Line phulousige UL tue Ligue | the high trusts comm or quired no legislative action. Speaker repeated the question several times in a leading form, and pronounced that assertion also un- qualifiedly false. The reason assigneti for his absence yesterday, was the necessity of attending a meeting of the Commisaioners of the Land Office. At the conclusion of the speaker's remarks it was expected by several ontsiders, and some insiders, thats motion would be made to expel the Argus reporter, but no action was taken. Mr. Hastings wanted to amend the journal of yes- terday, but the House refused. Several other members felt highly indignant at the articles contained in the morning paper, intro- duced by the honorable, the Speaker, and they wanted something to say upon a “ question of privi- lege.” Among those were Messrs. W. Taylor, Hendee, Heman, Holly, Wood, whigs; and Messrs. Loomis, D. B. Taylor, Burroughs, and two or three others, democrats. Mr. Hendee, while speaking of the coursé of pro- ceeding yesterday, on the Taylor resolutions, re- marked that “ the hunkers held the noses of the barnburners down, whilst the whigs turned the grindstone.” This convulsed the House with shouts of laughter. The whole affair ended in smoke, as all the ap- parently aggrieved honorable gentlemen seemed content, after exhibiting a quantum suff. of indig- nation. Here the clerk read an invitation from the Com- mittee of Albany Common Council, inviting the honorable Legislature to participate in the enjoy- ment of the Fourth. No action was taken, for the reason that previous engagements interfered. The cent debates were listened to by Mr. John Van Buren and Daniel BE. Sickles, of New York, with the most profound attention, who honored the House with their presence. The Buenkos anioan eed Messrs, Peters, Shaw and Burroughs as the select committee to investigate the charges against Mr. Cole, the canal engineer. Upon answering an inquiry made by Mr. Shaw, the Speaker stated that ‘‘Mr. Cole voted for Mr. Van Buren in 1848.” Some member inquired if this was intended as an offset to the Mather impeachment? No response given. Messrs. Burroughs and Shaw both peremptorily declined serving upon the com- mittee, and the Speaker thereupon substituted other members. Then Mr. Rusgell Smith sent up a resolution to the chair. “« Read—read for information,” cried out half of the House. Mr. Nafew, the ever-ready clerk, read— Resclved—Tkat the use of the Aisembly chamber be granted to the citizens of Albany, in which to celebrate the comirg anniversary of Independence. Objections were made ; the rule was suspended ; Burroughs and Marsh opposed ; 8. S. Smit! moved the per one) question, and it was decided lost. The House was not yet prepared to take up the special order of the day. so Dr. Sprague, who usually occupies a seat in the suburbs of the chamber, and who been heard only once during the session, and then against the “ Ay stipe! Maine Liquor law,” jumped on his feet in front of the Breakers chair, and moved to re-consider the vote taken yesterday, by which the House agreed to adjourn on Friday of next week. Mr. West made a speech in favor of the motion ; Mr. Burroughs doubted whether the House could adjourn if the court of impeachment should or- ganize. It was a question whether it was not neces- sary for the House to be in session during the sitting ofthat court. Mr. Ellsworth was also in doubt whether the House could delegate its powers to a committee to conduct the prosecution in impeachment cases. Mr. Martin, of Dutchess, believed that, the members of the House were one hundred and twenty-eight leeches upon the Paes politic. Mr. Loomis said the Legis- lature might have adjourned without amending the constitution, and the people would have sustained no loss; but to adjourn now, without passing the bills for the support of government—which had been adopted here during the regular Session, and sent to the Senate—would involve great losses to the people Mr. D. B. Toylor thought if members would hold evening sessions all the business would be accom- lished. Instead of which, a quorum of members are in attendance at the playhouse every night—he ne- ver visited such places—to see a Spanish dancing girl kick up her heels. Mr. Osgood rose quickly to a question of order. The whole House was insulted, he said, by such remarks as had just fallen from Mr. Taylor.” The Speaker decided that the objection to Mr. .’s remarks ‘‘ were not well taken.” Mr. W. Taylor had information which came direct from the Executive, to the effect that if the Legis- lature should adjourn without completing all the indispensable business before both Houses that another extra session would be called forthwith. The question was then taken, and the resolution adopted yesterday to adjourn on Friday next was reconsidered—ayes 61, noes 25—thus putting the question at sea again. The House was sti!]_ unprepared to enter upon the assigned business of the day. Mr. Champlin rose, and remarked that the House had adopted certain resolutions yesterday endorsing the general adminis- tration, and had he been present, he should have voted for two of them, but as they did not go quite far enough, in his estimation, he would offer the follow- ing, which he read in his place:— hecolved, That we most cordially affirm our atiach- ment 10, aud faith in, the principies and policy of the de- Taoeretic party of the Union, es set furth aud expressed in the resolutions cf the Natiovai Democratic Convention which nominated Franklin Piaree of New Hampshire for President, aud we hereby adopt the s2me as our o#n, and, standing upon them, we “know no North, uo South, no © West,” bat a common brotherhood of freemen ree states, under a common and glor.ous consiicu- solved, That Franklla Pierce, by the bold and deter. mined stard which he bas taken in his ineugural ad dress upon the principles of the Baltimore pla:form, by the sise and enlightened forecast which he has manifest ed in the selection of bis eabinet and of his subordinate cfleers, y to the pledges under which he came into the industry, integrity, and pa- triotf'm pifested iy the discharge of ail ed to bim by the paople of the United states, has commanded and .hould receive our unqualified approbation and enthusiastic support Mr. Hastings was opposed to their being received | entertained.

A vote was taken. The resolutions were received and luid on the table until to morrow. I stated yesterday that all democrats py yoted tor Mr. Taylor's resolution. By referring to the ayes and noes it appears that Messrs. Chamber- lain, Crocker, Marsh, aud P. W. Rose, voted in the negative. ‘Then the House took up the impeachment articles. ‘The Senate was engaged nearly the entire morning jon upon the New York Park question, called up sued hy Senator Beekman, who advocated Jones’ Woods.

Babcock, Bartlett, Bristol, Cooley, Jones, roe, Otis, Wright. The resolution to adjourn until Wednesday was taken up after the recess, and after a debate rambling overall the finances and other stale matters, until a late hour, it was finally adopted. in the House, at five minutes after four o'clock, fr. Russell 1 Was unanimously elected Speaker r tempore tor the remainder of the session, He ‘as conducted to the chair, seized the mallet, and presided during the most of the session in a highly impartial and dignified manner.

Indeed, conjunction of all the of the House, ‘a few democrats, was resorted to, to pre- vent as full an expression of the sentiments of the democratic members in regard to the administration, its platform and its measures, as the majority desired. ‘The united vote of these once ite elements was effective in enforcing the ous: eon which cut off other resolutions h had been oftered, or would have been presented, containing a more full and unreserved recognition of the wisdom and patriot- ism of the President's princi Under the circumstances, however, the adoption of Mr. Taylor’s resolutions, Lo eee though they be, will be regarded as a rebuke to those who have assailed the administration of Franklin Pierce, and as a full endorsement of his selection of a cabinet, and of his entire action, since he has occupied the Presidential chair. Fer such an expression the democrats of New York are at all times ready, and with here and there an exeeption, which only seems to strengthen the rule, will be now and hereatter found unani- mous. ‘The use of such men as Burke of New Hampshire, and Cooley in this State, and of such apostate prints as are the vehicles-of their maligni- ty to is the administration, is to draw the great mass of the democracy of the States more closely about their democratic chief, and to animate them with a more determined purpose to sustain and de- fend him. [From the Albany Journal, (whig free-soil,) July 1.] “THE COMPROMISE MEASURES.” There was an amusing game of politics played in the Assembly yesterday. Mr. D. B. Taylor's resolu- tions, endorsing President Pierce’s message as a “ finality,” were under consideration. These resolu- tions had been staved off, from time to time, by the barnburners, being a little too highly seasoned with slavery for their taste, though just what they and all the “ compromisers’’ had swallowed while engaged in the great work of ‘Union saving.” Mr. Holley set the “ ball a rolling” by a vivid and graphic description of the free soil zeal and enthu- siasm which warmed the Van Buren semacreay: while sopagen in constructing the ‘“ Buffalo pla form.” This reminder was by no means calculated to make these “‘ dough-face” resolutions digestible. Various attempts to evade a vote proved abortive. An inflexible mine, insisted that the ‘compro. mise’’ polka should be danced out—that the patriots of every stripe should have another chance to “ save the Union.” Hereupon the Speaker vacated, leaving our friend Doct. Ellsworth as his locum tenens. The leading barnburners sat for a while as if there were briars in the chairs, or bumble-bees in their pants. Mr. Loomis soon escaped amid the ‘ noise and con- fusion.”’ Mr. Hastings, after refusing either to vote or run on the first resolution, did run as the vote was to be taken on the third resolution. Mr. Marsh, a barnburner from Tompkins, stood up manfully, and gave manly reasons for voting against the resolution endorsing all the sacrifices demanded of freedom: The scene was protracted till 7 o'clock. It was not without its leseons. It exposed the duplicity of men who fora season and for a purpose professed devo- tion to the cause of freedom. The insincerity of those who raised such a row about the “ Union,” has been disgracefally manifest everywhere. Gen. Pierce falsified his own inaugural by taking a Northern “free soiler” anda Southern “disunionist” into his cabinet. And the adminis- tration has since brought all its ‘ compromise” pledges into contempt by the appointment of South- ern disunionists, New York Buffalo platform men, and Massachusetts abolitionists, to office. Results have shown, beyond doubt or denial, that the lond and deafening cry of ‘save the Union” was raised by aspirants for the Presidency, each en- deavoring to outbid others in their sacrifices of tree- dom to slavery. These aspirants—Cass, Webster, and Fillmore—were themselves laid on the shelf, having by their inglorious trucklipgs to slavery, raised a head of steam with which Gén. Pierce’s pre- sidential oe was ground. Though ever a“ dough- face,” and in favor of all the “ compromises” and “ finalities” that slavery requires, General Pierce ac- tually “ spits” on the Baltimore platform, by ele- vating such prominent disunionists as Jefferson Davis and Senator Soule, and discarding such leading Unionists as Dickinson, Foote, and Cobb. What a apeceasle is here p 1d? But recently a cry went up and abroad ‘@he Union is in danger!” “the constitution is to be violated!” Senators Foote and Dickinson, &c., &c., exhibited the “wounded,” “biceding” Constitution, appealed eloquently to their countrymen to rally in its de- fence. Senators Davis and Soulé, on the other hand, spurned the ‘‘compromise,” and advocated and threatened disunion. The combined efforts of Unionists, whig and de- mocrat, resulted in the election of a Union candidate for President, who has called Davis into his cabinet, and sent Soulé minister to Spain; leaving Dickinson and Foote to “chew the cud of sweet and bitter fancy.” Our New Hampshhe Correspondence Conconp, N. H., June 30, 1853. The Legislative Proceedings Relative to the Admm- istration. Taking it for granted that you desire to know, and to give to the readers of the Hxraup, a true ac- count of the state of things in the political ‘di, gings” bereabouts, and inasmuch as your occasional correspondent here, ‘‘Pennacook,” is in the interest of a set of politicians who are not over anxious to have the precise truth known abroad, I have un- dertaken to give you an account of things as they are. Not exactly satisfied with the underground effects of the proceedings of the late Democratic State Con- vention held in this place on the 9th inst., those who presume to be the particular friends of Gen. Pierce and his policy went to work to get an ex- pression from the Legislature, (which is largely democratic,) in favor of the General and his policy. Fearing that the course of Mr. Burke was causing a great deal of mischief, by setting into motion more dissffected elements than they had supposed could possibly exist in this State, the home of the Presi- dent, they conceived the plan of crushing him and all his sympathizers by a L ative endorsement of tle President and his policy, including his free soil und coalition appointments. ¢ to carry out the scheme, Mr. Ayer, of Manchester, a young and very respectable member of the House of Representatives, was selected to initiate the pro- ceedings. He began by moving that the portion of the Governor's message relating to national affairs be referred toa select committee. The motion was cartied, the committee appointed and he was of course placed at its head. He then prepared, or had pre- pared for him, a series of resolutions, it is said, not only approving the general policy of the President, bat endorsing fully all his appointments. On show- s resolutions, and feeling the pulses of the mem- bers, he found that they would stand no such stuff as that. They would stand by the President, and en- dorse Lim in genera! terms, but they would not swallow down his free soil and abolition appoint. ments. On this point 20 fourths of them were with Mr. Burke and for the “Old Guard,’ of which he is now captain. Mr. Ayer, therefore, modified his resolutions, if they were in the shape in which it is said they were originally dratte from his committee in the follo terday:— Resolved by the Senate and Houre of Repre&eatatives in General Court convened, Taat the people of New Heinpehire firmly adhere to those great principles of public policy upow which the present national adminia- traten came into power—prineiples upon whied the Union was founded, and to which we are walnly indebted #8 surpassing pro«perity aud grandeur, olyed, That in the election of Franklin Pleree to the presidency the people have called to their chief executive al , aud reported them m, on yes lyn do not like the idea of suspending altogether all improvements, or finishing such as are under way, and await the movement of the commissioners. Senator Smith has resigned his seat and assumed the duties of Collector of Customs, under his appoint- ment coulerred by President Pierce some two months since. The Scenes In Albany. (From the Albany Atiar, (dem. -free-sorl) July 1] PARVIES AND PARTISANS IN NEW YORK—A SIGNIFI- CANT VOTE IN THE ASSEMBLY! : While Senator Cooley was denouncing the Presi- | dent cf the United States in the Senate cham | veetordoe afternoon, the femncrntic Assembly, with entire neanimity, expressed ststicn @ patriot profoundly solicivous for ve welfare of his country, thoroughly acijuainted with its ioterasts at heme and abroad, in whom every confidence can be ploced, and in whom every jast expectation will be real- ized. Resolved, That we cordially approve tha principles and policy 80 eloquently set forth in the President's inau- guial address, and that New Hampshire will heartily svetain her distinguished son in his earnest and patciotic endeavors to carry those principles into effect in the sractical administration of the government, “Resolved, That in the opinion of this Legislature a di reward to the inte) osta and safety of the United States (uires that no fatere European colony or dominion old be established upon this continent, be resvlulions in this form were entirely accept coutideuce in Franklin Pierce by adopting the u... | uile to all sections of the democratic party. The THE NEW YORK HERALD: members were willing to vote these generalities in favor of the President, but they could not possibly swallow his abolition appointments in Maine, Massa- chavetts, New York, and elsewhere; and this they ‘demonstrated, beyond the reach of cavil and doubt, by their rejection, by a very decided vote, of the following resolution, offe by Mr. Cragin, of Lebanon, as an addition to the resolutions of the committee:— Rerolved, That we believe, with the New Ham; Patriot, that the bernburners of New York and the coslitionists of Massachusetts constitute a wing of the democratie party, and are therefore, with other free- soilers, emtitled to their share of the offices under the Present admivistration, This resolution they voted down yery decidedly; and to-day the whole series of resolutions reported oy Mr. Ayer were adopted, without amendment, by large majorities. e record now stands thus:—The bg tacns 8 of this State are willing to resolve any amount of generalities in favor of their President, whom the: really respect and love, and desire to have do well, but bef will not resolve that they approve of his free soil and coalition appointments. This is fully demonstrated by the action of his par ticular friends relation to the resolutions to which I have referred. If they could have forced down the Legislature, three-fourths of the members of which are democrats, resolutions approv- ing of the President’s appoint ij ‘would have doneit. But erat the members would not stand such a dose—they would not vote that they roved of the appointment of men who had been ing war against them upon the very vital princi- le for which they had been g for years: ie existence of the Union and the peace and harmo- beg States eae ic ig it; Seeman not vite a approved of the ap) tment of men who had voted for the election of Charles Sumner to the office of Senator of the United States; they would not vote for any such nonsense as that merely voting tor the candidates of the Baltimore Convention was a recognition of its evagian full and free pardon of sins, and an a to the democratic church, as had been pease by the New Hampshire Patriot mel i ‘nion. The staunch and stur- dy democracy of the Granite State would vote for no such clap-trap and nonsense. And such is the voice of a large majority of the democratic voters of New Hampshire. As much as love the President—and they are sincerely at- tached to him—they will not stand by him in his mig- taken, though well-meant, policy of appointing men to office who have been for years tainted with the lenrony of abolitionism. This is the precise state of sentiment in the democratic pee of New Ham) shire at this time. Onthat point they go with ir. Burke, and that is as far as he pee: It was unfortunate for the sident’s friends to move the matter in the Legislature after the occur- rences in the State convention. There it stood well cuca for the President. By stirring it in the Le- islature they have got a virtual condemnation of the resident's policy, so taras his abolition appoint- ments are concerned. The democracy of New Hampshire intend to stand firmly on the platform of the constitution and the Union. Looking beyond the existence of she present administration, they intend to stand by the constitu- tional rights ofthe South when ney are again assailed —as we know they soon will be—by the anti-slavery fanatics of the North. There is no such thing as uniting and amalgamating such elements with the free soilers, as the President will soon learn. And this effort, so far as this State is concerned, has only proved that the breach between the national demo- racy and free soilers and coalitionists is wider and the dislike between them more bitter than ever. Let the admini ition, and especially let the South, note these signs of the times. Let the South bear constantly in mind thattiow her destiny is in her own hands. Let them beware how they contami- nate themselves by any sort of alliance or co-opera- tion with the free soil and barnburner factions of the North. Their only policy and their only safety, so fur as the North is concerned, is to stand by the na- tional democracy—the true men who stand by the constitution, the rights of the States, and the union of the States. Granite Srarte. Wational Affotrs Before the New Hampshire Legislature. rom the Concord (N. H.) Patriot, July 1.) Inthe House of Representatives, on Thursday, the 80th ult., on motion of Mr. Ayer, of Manchester, the House took up.the consideration of the resolutions concerning national affairs—the question being on their final adoption—the yeas and nays having been ordered on the passage of the first of the series. Mr. Tappan, of Bradford, took occasion to men- tion that he had moved to strike out the. fourth of the resolutions originally reported, and not the’third, as hed been stated im the report. Mr. Mason, of Tamworth, gave the reasons for the free soil faith within him,in a very happy strain, } rovocative of much mirth, and a history oi his po- tical experie: hich was not without interest, i lf the credit of being a democrat, with the exception of his refusal to endorse the Fu- gitive Slave law. The effects of an attacument to that law were illustrated in a manner more amusing than strictly logical, and very much at the expense of the theory of bank increase laid down this ses- sion; and other aristocratical proclivities were stated by Mr. Mason to be apparent in the public coudact ot the dominant party in this House. Mr. Tappan, of Bradford followed, and expressed his wish to be understood as having no design to ex- press dissatisfaction with the government of Gen. Pierce, but because of their endorsement of the com- promise measyres. The vote was taken on the adoption of the first resolution by yeas and nays, whea it was adopted by 164 to 39. ‘The yeas and nays were demanded on the passage of the second resolution, and it was adopted by a vote of 131 to 68. ‘The third resolution was adopted without a divi- sion. Ina very thin honse, the question of the passage of the fourth resolution was taken by yeas aud nays, when it was adopted by a vote of 164 to 6. ‘The yeas and 3 were taken on the first of the appended resolutions moved by Mr. Emorty of Ports- mouth, (whig,) with the following result: —Yeas 27, nays 147. So the resolution was rejected. The second of Mr. Emery’s resolutions was put to vote, and rejected by a lar ajority. Mr. Plumer, of Portsmouth, demanded the yeas and nays on the third of the resolutions of Mr. Emery, which were taken, and the resolution rejected by a vote of 161 to 18, TELEGRAPHIC. Coxconn, N.
