Some warm words passed in the U.
S. Senate, on Tuesday, between Messrs. Benton
and Hannegan, on a motion by the latter to em
ploy a Reporter for the Senate. Mr. Benton de
elar fl, among other things, that "hereafter the per
tatils v6ll as the political friendship between him
an annegan was at an end." Mr. Hanne
gan thought but little was lost, as selfishness was
invariably at the bottoin of the Senator's friendship!

working with might and main to make up for
time lost in the early part of the Session. A num

The Three Million BM.
Irmo ‘Vednesday night the House took up the
Semite Three Million Bill, and Mr. Wilmot im
mediately offered his Anti-Slavery Proviso as an
amendment. Mr. Graham, of North Carolina,
moved to amend the amendment by recognizing
the Missouri compromise line to the Pacific—yeas
50, nays 0(. Mr. Wihnot's Proviso was then a
greed t0,•90 to SO. •
Soon after, however, the House wheeled about
and sTa vex OUT the Anti-Slavery Proviso by a
vote of 108 to 97, und then passed the Bill—yeas
115, nays 62!
Now for a beautiful game between Mr. Polk and
his "next friend" Santa Anne. Three millions to
purchase a peace, and fifty millions to carry on the
war ! A great country this—and profound states
men it has for rulers.
Let the people have the list of yeas and nays in
the House on the Anti-slavery proviso, in order
that the Northern "dough-faces" may be known
and MARKEIL
Lleuf enant General.
TD — As we expected, the Senate again negatived
the House amendment to the Army Bill creating
in effect the much desired "Lieutenant General,''
and insisted on its disagreement. Committees of
conference were appointed, who reported the Bill
to both Houses 'WITHOUT the Lieutenant General
Section. in which shape it finally passied and was
sent to the Senate. Honored be tlieSetiate for
this new evidence of its determination not to be
brow beaten by Executive dictation.
pc.:.Tlie resolution to employ a repor
ter of the debates in the Senate was adopted not
withstanding the violent opposition of Mr. Benton.
Kr The Senate laid on the table a mo
tion of Mr. Allen to restore the privileges of the
floor of the Senate to Mr. Ritchie.
The proceedings of the .Senate on
Tuesday and Wednesday presented some rich
scenes illustritive of the beatitiful harmony - that
prevails in the counsels of the "Democracy." The
war of woich between Messrs. Denton, Hannegan,
Calhoun, Yulee, and Weetcett, was particularly
edifying. "When rogues tall out," &c.
