Allurrahin the house.
April 9, 1814.
_ An incident occurred to-day in the House, which
proves how much the Locofocos are annoyed at the
enthusiasm with which the Whigs are about to en
ter upon the Presidential campaign. They can't
bear to witness the cheerful spirits and hilarity dis
played by their opponents, and the singing of a
good Clay song is death to them. A bill was un
der consideration, making appropriations for certain
Harbors and Rivers, when Mr. Payne of Alabama,
a Locofoco, gave the House a second edition of the
political speech he made one day lust week. In the
course of his remarks he said the Whig party did
not intend to carry the election by discussing im
portant principles, but by singing songs. He en
deavored to ridicule them, on account of the prac
tice that was common among the party, of singing
these unmeaning songs (as ho called them) on all
occasions. In order to let the House see what sort
of means they relied upon, to elect their candidate,
he would get the Clerk to read one of the songs.—
He accordingly sent to the Clerk's desk a copy of
the Clay Songster, and marked one of the most an
imating songs in it, to be read. It was the one
headed " Our Candidate," and sung to the hurrah
tune. The Clerk commenced reading, when Dr.
Duncan charged him to give it its proper emphasis,
and to observe the poetical measure. The Locofo
cos were all grinning with delight, at the fun that
was anticipated, and were preparing to enjoy the
mortification they had no doubt the Whigs would
display. As the Clerk went on, the sentiments of
the song and the recollection of the result of the
elections in Pennsylvania and Connecticut, put the
Whigs in the best humor possible. And when he
came to the last verse, which begins, Now bop,
three cheers for Ilarry Clay," they became perfect
ly electrified, and when the Clerk repeated the chor
us which follows this line, and which runs thus,
"hurrah hurrah I hurrah I!" they could
contain themselves no longer and many of them
joined in most heartily, hurrah ! hurrah '1 hur
rah !!!" Tap, tap, went the Speaker's hammer,
and order," "order," was called out. The Clerk
then finished the verse, the whole of which is in
these words:
• Now boys, three cheers for Harry Clay—
hurrah, hurrah,
With hint we're sure to win the day,
Hurrah, hurrah, hurrah,
Our President, if he's alive,
He's bound to be in forty-five,
Hurrah, hurrah, hurrah, hurrah,
Hurrah, hurrah, hurrah !
At the conclusion of the song, the Whigs became
still more excited, and they again joined in the cho
rus, and gave farther vent to their feelings by clap
ping their hands. The Speaker again called to or
der, and the Locofocos found they had not only ta
ken altogether the wrong track, hut had " bark'd
up the wrong tree." The Mortification was all on
their own side, and the fun and merriment all on
the side of the Whigs. The scene was amusing
beyond description. Mr. Payne then went on with
his speech and spoke out his hour.
Mr. Clay on Protection—Tariff.
WssurrroTox, April 10, 1844.
In the House of Representatives to-day, Mr.
Brown of Indiana, after some objection, the rides
having been suspended for the explanation, under
took the difilcult and troublesome task of substan
tiating the charge against Mr. Clay, contained in
on amendatory resolution, which, it will be recollec
ted, he moved a few weeks since, of having expres
sed in the Senate the following sentiment and lan
guage: "Carry out the principles of the Compro
mise Act—look to revenue alone for support of
Government—do not raise the question of protec
tion, which I had hoped had been put to rest—there
is no necessity for protection—bringing forward for
this purpose, accotnpanied by some explanation of
his previous movement upon the subject, tho follow
ing extract from a speech of Mr. Clay, after the
Extra Session as sketched in the Intelligencer
(which it will be seen ditrers very materially in
word and sentiment from Mr. Brown's quotation:)
"Carry out then, said he, the spirit of the Com
promise Act. Look to revenue alone for the sup
port of Government. Do not raise the question of
protection which I had hoped had been put to rest.
There is no necessity of protection, for protection."
Mr. B. argued that the sentiments of the two ex
tracts were precisely the same, and charged Mr.
Clay with having in this taken ground opposite to
that commonly held by him in favor of protection,
and with mcey other vacillations and inconsisten
cies by way of courting popular favor.
Mr: White, after objections by Mr. C. J. Ingersoll
and many of the "Democrats," was allowed by
suspension of the rules—Yeas 128, Nays 34—an
explanation in reply. Ho repeated his previous
charge that the extract quoted by Mr. Brown in the
resolution was an entire and wilful falsehood and
forgery, and brought forward in proof thereof the
very extract of the speech read by Mr. 13., pointing
Ito the previous facts (as will appear from compari
son of the above) Of the substitution in the resolu
tion of the word "principle" instead of "spirit,"
of "for" instead of " of,' and of the entire sup
' pression of the last two words " for protection"—
thus changing entirely the sentiment. The decla
ration of Mr. Brown that his extract thus misstated
and imperfect, fairly represented Mr. Clay, only
showed how party feelings or party madness could
warp the mind, or it showed an , abduratuess of in
tellect, (which he did not believe the gentlemen had)
amounting almost to lunacy, at least to stupidity.—
The words "look to revenue alone for the support
of Government," wore used in opposition to Mr.
Woodbury's amendment to the Treasttry Note Bill,
to pledge the Public Lands for the payment of the
Notes, and had no reference whatever to protection,
and the words, " he had hoped the question of Pro
tection had been put to rest." were explained by
another speech he had delivered at the same session
in which Ire distinctly took the ground that a Tariff
producing sufficient revenue for the current wants
of Government and to pay the existing debt, would
incidentally yield all necessary protection, and
hence that in framing such Tariff regard need only
be had to revenue. Mr. W. having thus conclu
nicely and triumphantly made good his charge, sub
mitted the matter for consideration to the House and
the Country. .• [N. Y Tribune.
Piaturo of a Locofoco Congress.
Mr. Steenrod, ono of the most decidedly useful,
gentlemanly and valuable working men in the
House, oflbred a moat valuable resolution to-day;
that as soon as the House meets each day, the clerk
shall call over the roll and mark down the absen
tees ! This salutary proposition was voted down
by the idlers of a reform Congress. It was a pity
the ayes and noes were not called on it. The fact
is, that although the House pretends to sit from 11
till 4, 5 and 6, yet half the time there is not a quo
rum. Yesterday there was not a hundred members
when the House adjourned--to-day the House on
voting, found itself four times without a quorum.
Beery time this Session when there has been a call
of the House, there have always been from forty to
sixty members absent ! and thus the important in
terests of the country suffer. The fact is, that ma
ny of the members come to the Home, sit through
one or two culls of the ayes and noes, then go off,
ride or walk about, and flirt with ladies, drink,
lounge about, smoke cigars, drink down stoics, or
go home to dinner at 12, or 1, or 2 o'clock; crawl
back betweenA and 4, and then bawl out against an
adjournment, and demand the ayes and noes, that
it may appear they were wondrous attentive. And
for this tbol's play they get S u day. If their Con
stituents could see some of 'em, they would soon be
invited to stay at home. The fact is, the last Con
gress met at 12, and adjourned regularly at 3, staid
in their seats and worked, and did twice the busi
ness this has done, and in less time. The fact is,
that your reporters here don't dare comment on
three things; but it shall be done, and their name
published for the benefit of their constituents, by
A SPECTATOR.
A vim. 23, 134-1.
IVe have had s very exciting day in
'the House, chiefly from the occurrence of
a most unpleasant, and I may say, dis
graceful scene. I shall however, avoid
the use of all epithets or intemperate
terms in relating the circumstances, and
endeavor to give them in the plain, unvar
nished language of truth ; at least as far
as I sin able to state from personal obser
vation, or from the accounts of an eye
witness, not having been such myself, to
the whole transaction.
The House went into Committee of
the Whole at an ealy hour this morning
upon the Tariff bill. Mr. Wright of Ind.,
having concluded his speech in opposi
tion to the present Tara law, was billow
ed by Mr. White of Ky., who undertook
to answer and repel the charges lately
new vamped and issued against Mr. Clay,
backed and sanctioned in some measure
by members of that House. His first on
set was upon the charge of bargain and
intrigue—a charge refuted again and
again, and *of which all but the most
reckless and unscrupulous politicians have
become ashamed; by which his collegue,
Mr. Linn Boyd had lately put forth a new
edition in the shape of a letter.
Mr. IVhite met and refuted the charge,
and in doing so left his colleague in no en
viable position. Having disposed of this.
Mr. W. referred to another charge lately
got up, and put forth with a certificate
signed by several members of this House.
This was the alegation that Mr. Clay had
said in February, 1819. that if they, (those
opposed to slavery) would not allow them
black slaves, they must have white ones
—or language to this import. 1 have not
toe extract by me to quote from. Several
gentlemen of the House, amolg whom
wits Mr. Kennedy of Ind., had lately cer
tified that they had found this language
used by Mr. Clay in the House of Repre
sentatives in tne report of the proceedings
of Congress in the National Inielligencer
of the 17th Feb. 1819. Mr. White de
clared that Mr. Clay never made use of
the language imputed to him, nor any like
it, and that there was no tech language
attributed to him, or to be found in the
report of the proceedings of Congress in
the National Intelligencer of the dayal
luded to, nor any other day as he could
find. The leaf olthat" day was torn out
of thejntilligencer in the library ul'Con•
cress, but Mr. W. had procured another
file which contained the leaf, soil there
woo not a syllable attributed to Mr. Clay
of any kind in the proceedings j oi the day
previous.
Mr. Kennedy ,said, interrupting Mr.
White, that he had certified to nothing
but what he could prove. Mr. Rathbun,
of New York, whose seat is next in front
of Mr. U'nite's, which is the extreme
" frontier,'' and next an entrance into the
bar from the lobby, said in his seat, " nev
er mind, it ran be proved all around the
House." To !his remark, made by one
not naving the floor, nor any right to speak,
and made, too, in a very insulting man
ner, Mr. White replied, sotto voice, "it's
a lie." Mr. Rathbun immediately arose,
turned, and struck at Mr. W., who war
ded Oland returned the blow. This pro
duced great excitement and commotion,
several members interfering and separa
ting the parties.
Among those who attemped to inter
fere was a Mr. Wm. M. Moore, a lame
man and a Kentuckian, who was in the
lobby just by Mr. White. lie was seized
by Mr. M'Causland, a member, thrust
back, and upon making some resistance,
was forced out of the door. At this mo
tnent, finding himself-roughly handled,
and, as some say, struck, he fired a pistol
at Mr. M'Causland, but the ball missed
him and lodged in the thigh of the Messen
ger, who was tending the door. It may
well be imagined that the commotion and
excitement was very great. The Speaker
took the chair, and a resolution was offer
ed by Mr. Saunders, of N. Carolinia, that
a select committee be appointed to inves
tigate the whole affair . , and report the
facts to the House.
Mr. White addressed the House for
some fifteen or twenty minutes, express
ing his entire willingness to submit to an
Mr. White having sat down, Mr. Rath
bun rose and said that he deeply regretted
the ciicumstance that had happened,
more deeply than any act of his life. He
regretted it on account of the reproach it
cast upon this body of which he was'a
member, and on account of his constitu
ents who had dune I,ito the honor to
send him here as their reptesentative.—
It wu s done in an instant of excitement;
had he taken a moment to reflect, his
course would have been different. He
acted under the impulse of those excitable
feelings which nature had given him,
whilst to others she had given a less exci
table temperament. He was willing to
submit to an investigation, and if it should
be found that he was wholly in the wrens,
he trusted the punishment would fall upon
him alone; if on the other hand the gen.
tleman from Kentucky was wholly in the
wrong he hoped he himself would be ac
quitted. It they were both wrong, let
them both be censured. Before lie sat
down lie would say, that with the excite.
meat of the moment, had vanished all un
kind feelings towards the gentleman from
Kentucky, for whom he retained no hate,
no unfriendly sentiment.
Mr. White then rose and said that after
what had fallen from the gentleman from
New York, it would be unpardonable and
unchristian in him, to harbor the least
hostile feeling toward him, and he would
assure him that he had no such feeling.—
Mr. White then took his seat and Mr.
Rathbun rose, tinned round, offered him
his hand which was t‘ taken and shaken,"
amidst an outburst of applause from the
crowded galleries, in which I believe a
few members unconsciously joined. It
was a moment of generous feeling through
out the !louse. OLIVER OLosCno,il..
07 ° SUDDEN DEATH, APOPLEXY, BURST

the brain, and other dreadful results.—
From two to six of said Indian Vegetable
Pills, taken every night, on going to bed,
will in a short time so completely cleanse
the hotly from every thing that is opposed
to health that sudden death, apoplexy,
bursting of blood vessels, or indeed any mal
ady, will he in a manner impossible.
Wright's Vegetable Indian Pills also aid
and improve digeston, and purify the blood
and thereibre give health and vigor to the
whole frame, as well as drive disease of
! every name from the body.

Furnace to Let.
The Valley Furnace is situate on Silver
Creek,near Pottsville in the Schuylkill Coal
Region.
Beds of Anthracite Coal and Strata of
Iron ore arc opened for work, close by the
stack. The public railway runs by the
works, giving a daily communication at all
seasons, with the city of Philadelphia.
Limestone•is cheaply had.by canal or rail
way.
The ore is exactly the same as that of the
coal iflelds of Great Britain, from which
nealy all the iron is made in that country.
It fluxes very easily. The "black band"
iron stone, from which the Scotch gray iron
is made, exists in this coal basin; but no
search has been made for workable beds.
the discovery being recent.
The Furnace is newly built, with a good
steam engine and blowing apparatus. Its
yield is about 35 tons weekly, and there is
an extensive consumption of Iron in the coal
district. There is no other Furnace in wor
king order in that regirn.
The Furnace will be rented on very favor
able terms to any person having sufficient
capital to conduct the business properly.
