journ. And thereupon the House adjourned
until to-morrow, 12 o'clock incridiah.

ment were ordered to be printed.
Also, a Report of the Treasurer of the
United States, with copies of the accounts

and the iirstand second quarters of 1815.
The resolution offered on yesterday
by Mr. Brcese giving the appointing of
the Standing Committees of the Senate to
the presiding officer, coming up in order,
was laid over for another day.
Mr. Cameron presented the memorial

Office Department with mail locks and
keys.
The following resolution offered yes
tcrdjy by Mr. Speight was agreed to:
Jlcsofvcd. That the President of the U
nited Stales cause to be laid before the
Senate, at as early a day as practicable,
the report of the Board of Commissioners
appointed in pursuance of the act of Con

"An act to provide for the satisfaction of
claim arising under the I -1th article of
the treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek, con- 1
eluded in September, 1830," embracing
the testimony on which the claims arising

ticable, such information as he mav pos
sess, or may speedily obtain, with respect
to the practicability and utility of a Fort
or Forts on Ship Island, on the const of
Mississippi, with a ricw to the pretec
tion of the cont.
The Senate then adjourned.
Thtrsday, December 4, 18?5.
The Vice P:-evc'cr.t kid before the
I Senate the annual report of the Commis-
sioner of the General Land Office, show
l ing the operations of that Department for
; the past year.
Mr. Hanncgan submitted the following
resolution, which lies over one day:
Ucsolved, That the assistant messen
ger of the Senate bo authorized by reso
lution of the 21st of February, 1855, to
receive a continuance of the pay of a mes
senger for his future services in that ca
naciiv. and for the time he was so era
. ployed at the Executive session of the
' Senate in March, 1845.
The following resolution, heretofore
offered by Mr. Brcesc, was taken up for
consideration:
L'eaolced, That so much of the 34th
rule as requires the appointment of the
several standing committees by ballot at
the present session be suspended, and
that the appointment be made by the
President of the Senate.
The question being on the adoption of
the resolution
Mr. Mangum rose and said he hoped,
after the suggestions which had been
made by him yesterday, that the honora
ble mover of this resolution would have
been induced to refrain from pressing its
adoption. He (Mr. M.) could have no
objection, certainly no personal objection,
to leave the matter entirely to the action
of the present presiding officer. The
ground on which he opposed the passage
of the resolution was simply because he
thought it involved, on the part of the
Senate, an abandonment of their proper
legislative duties. He had not had an op
portunity, i!;.;ugh he had them before him
of looking into all the proccueuw upon
this subject. But the case was a very
different one from that where the power
of appointing the standing committees de
volved upon a President pro tempore, be
cause in the latter case h j is an officer
who is responsible to the Senate, and, in
case he should abuse the directionaryipo w
cr entrusted to him, he is liable to be re
moved. The Vice President of the U
nitcd States, it seemed to him, is an of
ficer who holds his office on a very dif
ferent tenure, and who is in no respect
responsible to the Senate for the manner
in which he may discharge the trust con
fided to him. He did not know that it
would at ail affect the character of the
committees to be appointed, whether the
appointing power were exercised by
the Vice President or by the Senate; yet,
for decency sake, he would at least hope
that no gentleman tilling so hig4) an office
as that of Vice President, standing before
the country in so responsible a position,
would condescend to have thrust upon
him this duty, where no responsibility
altachcd. In the case cf President pro
tempore he was responsible not only to
the country, but to that body, and must
therefore show a proper deference to the
will of the body; and this being the case,
there was no maternal difference between
this mode of making the appointments
and bailotting for them bY the Senate.
But with regard to having a list made out
by a meeting of Senators constituting a
certain party, whk'h list is to govern the
appointments in the hands of the presi
ding officer, lie (Mr. M.) could not sup
pose that the gentleman who now occu
pies the exalted position of Vice Prcsi
d nt of the United States would for 'a mo
ment consent to suffer himself to be dic
tated to in that way.
He believed, from looking cursorily
through the records of the Senate, it
would be found that the power of appoint
ing the committees was never conferred
upon the presiding officer of that body
until the year 1S23. In 1835 it was ex
ercised by Mr. Calhoun, then Vice Pesi
dent. But so dissatisfied was the Senate
with the exercise of that power, that du
ring that very session the whole matter
was reviewed and the rule was rescinded.
From that time forward the - power was
never exercised until 1837, when Col.
Richard M. Johnson was Vice President:
and the reason for its exercise then was
that it was an extra session of Conzrcss
called for a special purpose, and it was
not expected that nvi iters of general leg
islation would be brought forward. The
condition of the Treasury at that period
it was which gave occasion for the extra
ordinary session. And this being the
specific ar.d well-known object, it was not
thought necessary to rescind the rule on
that occasion.
His objection to the resolution then
came to this: he thought that to con
fer this power upon an officer in no
wise responsible, would be on the part of
the Senate an abdication of its duty, and
inai a great cvn must arise trom sucn a
course. Suppose the presiding officer be
opposed to a majority of the Senate, he
would have it in his power to thwart the
views of that majority. He cared not a
button as to how the appointments were
made in this particular instance, but he
did desire that the exercise of its constitu
tional duties should rest with the Senate,
unless they could be made to devolve
upon an officer distinctly responsibla to
the Senate
Mr. Alien said, before submitting the
few observations which he designed to
make in reply to the remarks of the gen
tlemen from North Caralina, he desired to
say tliat tne resolution now before the
Ornate had emanated irom no caucus of
the Democratic members of that body.
it was not me oictatc ot party, nor was it
the ollspnnir, so far as he could judge, of
any party -feeling which might exist in the
Senate.
It was offered by the distinguished and
judicious Senator from Illinois, because
the Senator found that the recent practice
of the Senate has been in strict conformity
v ith the course prescribed in that resolu
tion. Having, then, stated that the reso
1 it'on proceed from no concerted action
on the part of the Democratic portion of
that bedy, he would proceed, with the
leave of the Senate, to make a few re
marks in answer to what had been said
by the gentleman on the other side. ;And J.
first of all, as to the matter of responsibili
ty, for that was the first point made, by
the distinguished Senator iron North Car
olina. The gentleman predicted his ar
gument upon the idea that the presiding
omcer of this body does not stand m
the
relation of responsibility to this body
which he would occupy if he were an
officer temporally presiding and elected i
by the Senate itself. His answer was,
that the rcsonsibility of that officer is c
ven greater that than of an officer tempo
rally elected by the Senate. -The respon
sibility of the Vice President of the U
nited States it is true, 'not to the Sen
ate, but the Senate's masters the States
and the People. His rcsposibility'was a
responsibility to the fount, the source, ;of
all political authority. It was to that
source from which he derived the right to
preside, according to the terms of the con
stitution, over, the deliberations of that
body. Where could there be a higher
responsibility, save that to Heaven itself,
that the responsibility of a public officer
. i!
to the trrcnt ninss of the American people! i
It was a responsibility which operated I
more coercively than that which was duel
merely to the Senate of the United States.
But it might be said that an omcer
se
lected to preside temporally over the Sen
ate by that body itself, holds a more in
timate relation to it than the Vice Presi
dent of the United State can do, and that
for this reason the Senate should hesitate
lo confide lo that officer in the same man
ner and to the same extent as to the tem
porary one. This would be a good argu
ment enough if ihe action of the Senate
concerned the Senate only; but when it is
.-ccollected that the Senate is taken from
the pi hi; "try source of all authority, and
responsible itself to the c$:C source
from which the Vice President derives
his authority, the argument ceases rto
have any force. Is this an action of the
Senate which concerns the Senate alone?
No, sir; it has reference to the law-making
power, and that power concerns the
whole Republic.
But it was said there was a want of de
cency in this proceeding
Mr. Mangum. The Senator entirely
misunderstands what I said. I said, .for
the sake of decency I should be unwj'Jing
to presume that so distinguised an officer
of the Government would submit to be
dictated to by a portion of the bodp over
which he is called to peside.
Mr. Allen. Precisely; and this is the
best of all arguments why that distinguish
ed officer should have the control of this
matter, because, as the Senator says, .he
will act independently of all dictation. It
is the very best of human reasons. The
very argument used by the Senator hran
argument in favor of the resolution. If
the facts were the reverse of what they
arc if that officer were subject to dicta
tion, his argument would be a good argu
ment, as he designed it, against the reso
lution. . -v
The views of the Vice President are
understood by the nation to be' in con
formity with the views of a majority of
this body. The majority of this body
is responsible to the country for. the ac
tion of the body; and bearing this respon
sibility, it is but right that the majority
should direct the action of the body. .
After some further remarks from Mr.
Allen, Mr. Brecsc made some remarks in
support of the resolution, and was fot
lowedby Mr. Benton, who quoted from
the Register of Debates to show that the
mode now proposed to be pursued was
an unusual one, and that hitherto it had
been considered objectionable.
The question was then taken by
yeas and nays, and decided as follows:
YEASMcssrs. Allen, Ashley, Atchi
son. Atherton, Breese, Cameron, Cas,
Chalmers, Colquitt. Dix, Fairfield, Jen-'
ness, Levy, Lewis, Niles, Semple, Sevier
Speight, Sturgreon, Turney 20.

don, Davis, Dayton, Evans, Greene,
Haywood, Jarnagin, Johnson, of Mary
land, Johnson, of Louisiana, Mangiim,
Miller, Pearce, Phelps, Simmons, "Up
ham, Westeott 21.
So the resolution was rejected.
On motion of Mr. Mangum, it was re
solved that the standing committees be
elected on Monday next. . .....
The Senate then adjourned ovcr.juntil

SIXTECX DAYS LATER ritWI
EiROI'C
Arrival or the Steamship Cam
bria. IC7-B? the arrial at New . York; of
tht packet-ship "Quern of the Vet,''
we have foreign news four days later;
and by the arrival at Boston of the Steam
ship Cambria, we have advices to the
18th nit. from Liverpool.
A Correspondent of the Commercial,
a passenger on board the Steamer,
writes "off Boston, Dec. 4 During jd,ie
wetk follow in j the sailing of ihe siatner
4ih Nov., ilie Cotton Market" remained
in the same inactive sia e as then advi
scdwtek ending UUi Nor, a belter
feeling and larger tales The conse
quence an l-8d betier could be done
than at that dull time previous; the three
days ending 18th Nov., there was no
change.
That day we had Great Britain" and
Boston steamer of Nov. 1. Next dav,
(that wben we sailed,) I think the feel
ing was duller, and I heard of the Jim
its being still reduced on large orders for
cotton sent out to the U. S.
The accounts of iht Potato crop are
still unfavorable. Corn maikcts keep
steadv; ihere will be disappointment in
the United Slates that the government
do not now ieem to act on opening: the
ports, nor the averages fc wheat (froia
ill comparative inferior quality) geem. io
act as quickly as expected in lowering
the. duty on foreign, which is still 15s
per quarter, and not expected soon under
I2s" . .
The rumors brought by tho last arrival,
of a probable opening of the ports for
bread stuff, are not confirmed, but rath
er discountenanced, though ii is still ba
ttered that before long foreign wheat and
flour will be admitted at the lowest rate
x duty on the sliding scale.
The railway speculation continued ac
tive, though the Bank of England had
raised the interest on discounts to3i per
cent, and a farther advance to 4 per cent
was expected.
Professor Morse arrived in the Cam
bria. He has in charg the ratified trea
ty between Bavaria and the United
States, transmitted by Henry Wheaton,
United Slates Miuistcr at Berlin; and
also the proposed commercial treaty be
tween Belgium and the United States.
He has uso despatches for the Depart
ment of State, and for Postmaster Gen
eral, from Louis McLane, United Stales
Minister to England,
Kuhs Prime, Esq, of P
New York, is
also a passenger in the Cambria, and
bearer of despatches from the U. States
Legation in Paris to the Department of
Sine.
The Cambria, on Wednesday last,
boarded and exchanged papers with
steamship Britannia, from Boston. 2d
instant, for Liverpool.
POTATOES.
The Londsn Globe f the I7ih of No
vember says:
"There is a viaable improvement in
the quality ef the potato: introduced
into the London market during the last
few weeks."
; Of The roiiU-'s the European Time
says
The fin weather which has ruled in
country during the last fortnight, enabled
the farmer to take the best precautions
for arresting the disease to which the
Potates are subject, sud much good hat
been dune in itie way of saving what
was thought to have been irrecoverably
Ist
. Nove nhele, it is clear, from all that
hat transpired, thai the inj.iry to the es
culent hiis been very serious, and as far
as the poor of Ireland are concerned, the
evil must cause hardship, and its con
coraitaul disease.
THE POR I'S NOT OPENED.
The Steamsbip Hibernia, Captain
Iine; which left Boston on the first of
November, Halifax on tht fourth, and
St. Johns (N F ) on the ninth, (after
being ashore on Cape Race,) arrived at
Liverpool on the I bill.
It appears settled that the ports will
not. be opened, and. the European Times
in the following article, ascribes this
determination lo the Duke of Willing
ton. The state of England since we last ad
dressed our readers, has been very pe
culiar, and extremely exciting. The
feeling then Mas, that, pressed on nil
hands by the cries of thecoun;ry and ihe
urgency of the case. Ministers would o
pen the ports by an order in Council
for the free admision of every descrip
tion ef grain. Everything, in fact, indi
cated such a result.
The Cabinet ha'J protracted, and, it
was said, angry sittings; ihe fears wf the
public were becoming serious; the ac
counts of lite pototoe crop from all parts
of the country we had almost did from
all the world especially from Ireland,
were really alarming; the pti. e of grin,
until checked by the prevailing feeling
thai the coro-Iaws would be suspended,
was rising daily.
All tins combined with the panic in
ihe share market, and the utier prostra
tion of the buoyancy and speculation
which existed only a short time previous
in rampant impetuosity, caused the o
pening ef the ports t be looked lo with
hope and with certainly, as a thing that
must be. Buihe quidnuncs have been
'doomed to disappoiniwsni tuk roRTs
WILL MOT BE OFKNED!
Secrets, hermetically sealed, some
times ooze out no one can tell how; and
those who profess to be wise in the
workings of Cabinets, declare t'lat the
opposition came, not from the First Min
ister of the Crown, but from the con
queror of Napelean; thai ihe commer
cial spirit of the Premier was overruled
by the constitution! prej dices of the
soldier, and that the old molt, cedent
arm togx, was in this case reversed.
So runs the gossip of the clubs.
GRAIN.
A London letter says Meanwhile the
trade in Wheal has remained very quiet;
and though no material change has oc
curred in prices at any of the leading
provincial markets, an unwillingness to
gel into stocks has been very prevalent
owing to which considerable difficulty
has been experienced in disposing of the
supplies brought forward by farmers at
some of the nurkeis in the agricultural
districts.
Of spring corn ihe deliveries from the
growers have been more than equal to
ihe demand, and prices of barley and
oats have tended downwards in alf parts
of the kingdom.
By our . advicesfrom Scotland, it ap
pears that the dull accounts Irom the
South had not been without influence on
the trade in corn; and belli at Edinburgh
and Glasgow wheat was dull of sale, on
Wednesday, while oats, barley, &c.
were obtainable at reduced terms.
THE OREGON.
The Oregon Question was beginning
to excite some alarm again, as the time
approaches for the President's Message.
Wilnier's Liverpwol Times says -
"It is rumored here ihe intelligence
which came lo hano yesterday by the
Hibernia gave confirmation to the state
roent ihal Mr. Polk- will take hieh
ground on the question. At any time of i
lesii depression than the present, such aa
impression would havt mado itself fell
on the market, and it may dn scr yet. as
the inielligence Vy the Hibernia only
came to hand when ihe business portion
of ihe day had been partially consumed.
This vexed question of the "Oregon has
it is said, occupied a great deal of the
Cabinet's attention during their late fre
quent and protracted sittings, but on the
Cotton markei no perceptible impres
sion has been made.
SUFFERING IN IRELAND.
Meetings have been held in Ireland,
to take into consideration the state of the
potato crop of the country, and resolu
tions were passed, and submitted tj Sir
Robert Peel, asking for ihe openening
of the ports; to slop the distillation of
grain, and the granting of a loan of a
million and a half, to supply iheir pres
ent necessities. The following letter
from the Prime Minister to Lord Clon
ctirry, the Chairman of the Mansion
House Committees in Du'olin, cities the
specific suggestions submitted to him by
the Committees, as follows:
Whitehall Nov. 10, IS 15.
My Lord, I have the honor to ac
knowledge the receipt of the commune
cation of ihe 7th November, which bears
your Lordship's signature, earnestly cal
ling the attention of her Majesty's Gov
ernment to the calamity with which Ire
land is threatened by the failure, through
disease of the potato crop, and suggest
ing for the consideration of the Govern
ment the following measures,
1. The opening of the ports of Ire
land for all kinds of human food, free of
duty.
2. The closing of the ports ef Ireland
against the exportation of oats, either
ground or whole.
S. That the consumption of oats by
cavalry regiments in Ireland be dimin
ihed as much as possibly can be with
safety lo the public service.
4. That the distillation from grain be
suspended in Ireland; due precaution be
ing liken to pieveni illicit distillatioa.
5. Thai there be immediately raised
money, by way of loan, to the extenl of
one million and a half at least, and
chargeable to Irish resouices, such as the
department of Woods and Forests, &c,
and the amount of such loan be applied
in the first instance to the increasing the
quantity and decreasing ths price of food
in Ireland.
G. The forming of dranaries in each
of the Poorlaw Unions and other locali
ties throughout Ireland, os to bring food
within the reach of all its inhabitants.
7. The setting the people to work
without any delay, by urging on and as
sisting in the construction of railways,
and also in the works of drainage, as
recommended by the Government Com
ujiioners, aud other wotks of lucahitii
ity. I give full credit to the assurance that
in making this communication, your
Lordship and those who are parties to il
ure influenced by no other motive than
the desire to aid the Government in tho
efforts they arc making to averl or miti
gate the impending evil.
1 shall without delay submit this as I
have submitted all other representations
which have reached me on this painful
subject, to my colleagues in the service
of her Majesty.
Although consideraiions of puplicjpoli
cy and of public duty prevent me from
entering, in this acknowledgment of
your Lordship's communication, into a
discussion in respect to the advantage of
ihe particular measure recommended for
immediate adoption, yet I beg to asrure
your lordship thai the whole subject is
occupying the unremitting attention of
her .Majesty's confidential advisers.
1 have t!;e hoaorto be, my lord, your
most obedient servant,
ROBERT PEEL.
The Lord Cloneurry.
The Gorernmenl obviously does not
see ihe necessity of opening ihe ports,
and the London Times denounces the
.Minister vehemently for blindnes.
