Wastincron, Jan. 20, 1864, The interest which the question of New York polities has evoked in the federal capital, and the curiosity and excitement its diccursion bas awakened in the breaste of Members of Congress, were plaivly mauifested to day in the fact that the entire ritting was devotrd to the de. bate on that question, The reading of the, jcurnal had Mot beem completed ten mivuta: until the House haire- solved itself into Committee of the Whole on the State of the Union, to a8 to give Mr. Cutting the opportunity he Gesired of replying to Mr. Hughes’ speach of yesterday, Be stood in the main aisle while he addressed the com mittee, and one of the consequences was that three fourths of the members, having taken up their positions g0a8 to face him, committed the breach of decorum of witting with their backs turned towards the Chair, Mr, Dutting made s masterly expose of the resect history of the party in New York, dwelling particularly on the the point of the power cf the adwinietration being Drought to bear on the isene of the Iccal elostions Ho presied this point, and showed that if euch inter- ference in State polities were tolerated the general go VYernment would become a incre cen! ining machine, and the States of the Union would bo degiaded into pateliites of that power. He was followed by Mr. Westbrook, of New York, who made a rather feeble speech on the free acil side. Dating ita delivery the interest of the audiencs in the matter Bppeared to be flagging, but it revived sgain when our friend General Wallbridge took the floor to deliver his waaiden speech in Congress, Though it was entirely an ‘Bxtempore effort, your gallant protege acynitted himuelt sdmirably. General We llbridge took tho starting point of his argu ment from the day of President Pierce's inanguration, eying aside all previous complications, adverting to ths Dashing and Guthrie ranifestoa in Now York and Massa. ehusetts, and submitted to the committee the contem. Dle trickery of an [admicistration whish utters one Deries of sentiments in oue sestion of the country anda totally cistinot ver ies in anocuer. But ceoidedly the raciest fature in tho day's pro- Ovedings was the ppréch of Bishop Perkins, from st. Law- ence county, New York. Mr. Perkins besrs a strong Yesemblance, in persousl xppearance, to that dis ia gushed personage, Mr, Pickwick, and appears to partake of the general benevolent aud good humored character Iatios of bis English prototy pa. The extent of his legisla five action in the House has generally been to make “motions to adjourn;” and this he almont invariably Goes when be thinks debate is waxing {00 warm. Coa- Sequently it created no little surprise and merriment to peo him take his stand and address the Chair, aad the pleasantry of the thing waa not « little augmented when Deansounced, in setting out, that he would go farther “pack in the history of New York politics than any of the other speakers had done. Acd so he did go back, as far aa 1837, and the burden of all be sald was that William B. Seward was the politicisn the most to be dreaded and opposed in New York. He hbarped upon this till the Chair announced that the gextleraan was out of order in po alluding to a Senator; but the members only laughed the more, and Mr. Perkins only the oitener reiterated his proposition. I: was difficult to kaow which side of the quarrel Mr P. espoused, for he was opposed to ‘res soilism ‘Andabdolitionism, and announced that he would aven vote for Daniel 8 Dickinson, thongh he was not extremely par- tial to that gentleman. 1 Mr. Perkins’ discursive ard hardly elegant style of ora tory, joined to the intense good hnmor and simplicity of Bis manner, and his frequent recurrence to the came of Wm. H. Seward, kept the House in a roar of laughter till ‘jhe concluded, when the Committee rose, and the House ~ sdjourned till Monday.
