Mr. Evans was at loss to say to 'o hat
acommittee such a committee ougi,t tI be
referred. He thought, however, that
should a committee on the '2OO milli rn
land scrip' question be appointed, the pe-
tition might there lie considet ed. It was
Tur the present laid on the tilde.
The joint resolutiou authorizing the
sale of the stock of the government in the
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal to th e St a t e
of Maryland, was taken up and passed.
Biirrien gave notice that on Mon
day next he will call up Ole bankrupt re
ilea! bill.
After the disposal of tm tuer , )ui rep , ifts,
the Senate resumed the vonsideration of
tariff resolutions of Mr. McDuflie.
Mr. Evans having the floor, made a
long speech in reply to the former. •
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
-='ll , lr. Barnard gave notice that on Thurs.
Clay he will fora() to go into committee on
the exchequer bill, and should the motion
succeed, he will then offer sundry amend
ments to the bill.
Mr. Underwood, from the District com
mittee, said he was instrui ted to move
that the committee of the whole be dis
charged from the consPeration of the bill
pakrviding for the ro charter of the banks
io this District. He sail he desired the
sole on this motion to he considered as a
test question, and as deciding whether the
isenitsehould have any extension of their
Charters or not. He concluded by submit.
Ling a resolution to discharge the commit
tee.
Mr. Cave Johnson moved to lay the
resolution on the table. The motion fail -
ed--yeaa 87, nays 109.
The resolution was then adopte , d by a
vote of 114 to 98, anl the committee dis
charged from the further consideration
the bill. This indicates favorably for the
banks.
..T.he morning 11.)ur
Arnold remthdrd the Speaker that this
was the day set apart for the consideration
of his re!renchment bill, No. 548. lie
accordingly sui7mitted a mwi in to go into
committee on the bill.
After seine rather laughable conversa
tion, Mr. Arnold moved to discharge the
committee of the whole from the consid
eration of Ins hi I.
The Huse n went into committee
and resumed the consideration of tlie bill,
Mr. Underwood being in the Chair,
Mr. Holmes moved to amend that por
tion of, the bill reducing the 'mileage' of
members to $6 fir esery 20 miles, so as
to compensate members for the actual ex
pense.incurted and no more. He argued
that the scale set down in the bill would
operate un, - -q1 .11y. To illustrate thii he
alluded to the fietthet from some sections

railroads at the rate 0f240 miles per day;
while on the other hand, members from
the West were compelled to come by a
much slov‘er conveyanze, and were con
secinently sulj ct to a much ffreater ex
pense.
Mr. Cushing followed. A'` one giea:
objection to thii lii.l, he argued, that now
members of the present Congress were

tq.r. Wise, tlo• greatest uproar,
moved an additional amendment by way
of proviso, to the effect that no meinlier
shall he allowed more than one ration of
of beef, and that not roasted. l the re
mainder of the amendment could not, be
heard., owing to the dealenine• shows of
merriment ,A•hich follow e d.]
Mr. Arnold shouted for order until he
was hoarse, hut there was a regular earth..
quake of laughter. When subsided, he
moved to amend the toast beef atnenilment
of Mr. Wise, so as to except the members
of the Guard, who were to have some
thing extraordinary at the end of the ses
sion, but what it was impossible to hear.
}fere amendments of the most ludicrous
cha;rezter kept pouring in, the effect of
whicli was to keep up a continual uproar
and laughter.
Mr. Arnold kept•shouting, and protest•
log %bathe could not stem the torrent.
Mr: Wise moved to amend so as to te
duce the per diem of members to 6'4 in.
stead of,s6 per day. This motion failed,
aud, the sum of; 's6' remained in the bill.
The committee then rose and reported
progress.
Not more than half the clauses have

Mr. Buchanan
The Gazette has a whole column
rant and fustian about an extract which
it gives from the speech of Mr. Buchanan
on the late Treaty with Great Britain, in
which he defines his postion rel tive to
Slavery and the South. We do not think
it necessary to go into an ehbor ate defence
of Mr. B. against the puerile attack of th e
Gazette. If we did, we might at the same
time take up the gauntlet to &fend Wash
ington, Jefferson, Franklin, Madison, and
Marshall, and all the sages IA ho flamed
the constitution; for lie and they occupy
precisely the same position in regard to
slave, y. Nor is it necessary to discuss
with the Gazette the "constitutional rights"
of the Slave States. They have been set•
tic d by the practicPs of the general govern.
In..rit fur m:ire thatififiy y ears, beginning
with the administration of Washington, and
the first Congress, which was chiefly corn
posed of the framers of the constitution•
or was aided by their immediale co.inse.l
as to its intent and meaning. Mr. Bu•
chanan asks no more for the Slave States
than has always been conceded, and while
declaring his willingness to accord this,
avows that lie and hit, party "are oppo
sed to slavery in the abst,•act."
But the attack of the Gazette has a sin
ister purpose —it is a piece of sheer hypoc
iisy, roil arises from the fear that its ar
guments against Belay Clay because of
his being a slave holder, may have the
effect to induce some of its partisans to
support Mr. ; Buchanan, %%ha is no slave
holder, and hence this _miserable attempt
to make .hint obnoxious as a champion of
slivery.

that these rights should not be "I N VA-

worthy of more than a mere expression of

a view of effecting a reconcilation of their
difficulties. The parties shook hands and
were ab out to separate; when Sanford's
side Wd , turned towards him, Newman
a large d wiale barielHd gun loaded
with buckshot, and force I the whole load
into tl - .e andorn , ll of his adversary. Sand

his gun was hanging on a rack, and though
almost in his last wisp, he succeeded
leveling his gun and lodging the load

out the entrails. In a few seconds after

'•The Senate should have taken the
question on the Oregon bill, at least two
weeks ago. What is to become of the re-;

on in this way, week after weok! What of

the finances be left, if a single bill, tpon
which the minds of every body has been
long settled, is to be debated for thirty or
forty consecutive days, out of a session nf
ninety?
It cannot be blinked that some sort of a
treasury note bill must be passed, or there
exists an intention, and perhaps an inevita
ble necessity, of calling anodicr special ses
sion. For the taking of the remainder of
the loan does not relieve the government in
the slightest deg'ee. It only puts them in
present possession of funds which they
might have created by the issue ef treasury
notes, the right to do which is now, by the
last treasury note act, cut off. Mr. Evans
is, o f course, willing to rant as many trews•

democrats may have very seri , us objections
to voting for a bill ituthotizii g a re-issue

This is a pr. tty state of affairs indeed,
particularly when it is well understood that
the deficiency in the course of this year,
will amount to eight millions of dollars or
thereabouts. Beyond doubt, in matters of
legislation and statesmanship, we stand
before the world as a collection of extra
ordinary Sulons, who, in time of peace and
with a country rich in every product, thus
stand trembling on the verge of national
bankruptcy. We, who once payed pitch
and toss with millions of surplus revenue;
who distribute the proceeds of th 4 public
lands and who talk of assumption to the
amount of 200,000,000. What a wretched
burlesque upon common sense is thus pre•
