"I own, Sir, that have been little sur prised, that it has ever been made a question whether the Administration was assailed or ! not Why, sir, there has not been day nor an hour since it was formed, that tt has not been assailed. do no; now complain of this sir, do but state the fact; and the gentle man from Pennsylvania tells us now, what we were told two years ago, by the gentle man from South Carolina, thai the existence of the Administration was political felony -that they have burst unlawfully into the of fees of State, and that he would no more make terms with them, that is, no more "judge them by their acts," than with the robber, who had broken into his premises, should promise to behave himself well. One gen. tleman from Tennessee, (Mr. Mitchell says that we are already too much worn out to be attacked, and the gentleman from Tennessee, (Mr BelD that they are run down; and yet we are accused of kndling at fancied charges, and brsting up in the defence, when nobody has attacked us. Sir, such an assault, in my limited acquaintance with the history of the country have np where found. A chief ma- gstrate of more than ordinary simplicity of
 life and purity of character is denounced at one moment as the imiator of oriental pomp; and at the next as the prOhgate cOrruptor of the youth of our nation as able. faithful, X patriotic Cabinet as any ever formed since the first Administration of Washington, and abler than almost every other which has fol- lowed, is announced as weak, inefficient, and corrupt. An Administration, which in three years has applied thirty-three million to the payment of the Public Debt. and expended ten or twelve more in objects of public utili- ty, is proclaimed to be prOtuse and extrava- inf ES I NxhI IOh into power avowedIy on the principal of seeking out the best talents of the nation for offices of trust and honor, and which, if it had er- red has erred in neglecting its friends, is char ged with prescribing and prosecuting its op- ponents. And after all this has been repeat ed year after year, till in its effect gentlemen fatter themselves, and tell us that we are was ted, worn out. and run down; and after each and every one of these topics, and numerous others, have heen touched upon in this very debate, we are then told to keep very cool--- no body has attacked us."
 Washington Wednesday, Feb. 6.
 l have just risen from the dinnnr table. What do you think of dinner at 10 o'clock a night! It was about that time when the House adurned, after a sitting which for clamor S. disorder. was never equaled in Congress.
 MT. Chilton's resolution is at length dispo- sed of The Administration party has gained decided victory. These two sentiments may seem pnradoxical But the statement is correct. l mentioned to you last night, that MT. Dorsey proposed an amendment of the resolution,to make the inquiry proposed by it 30 back to the year 179O, therefore turning the direction first given to this measure, from the present administration, and making it embrace the several administrations since Washington's time. The debate has been chiefly upon the question to- day; and in the end, the amendment was adopted by a ul;l~ iority of six--after which the resolution pas sed una uoce.
 Thus the opposition has been completely foiled in the sinister design of this resolution as first proposed, and as frequently amended. Messrs. McDufie and Drayton voted for the amendment of MT. Dorsey. A Committee of seven was appointed, and they will have sufficient labor in the matter, to emnloy them necessarily until the next session of Congress. The truth will in the end be found to be, that this mighty matter on which so much has been spoken, will fall to the ground without any result. Heaven knows that do not complain of the waste of time. Not I. As a party measure the resolution of Chiffon has Decu Ot lIc uOot SfiSio"o NlO0 the Administration side of the question.
 MT. Bartlett uttered speech this morning characterised by his usual shrewdness and good sense. But the speech of Mir. Wright of Ohio, for causticity and effect, eAcelled any thing of the kind have ever heard in Congress. He rode roug gh shod over the en- tire opposition--taking each man in detail. Upon Apocalypse Smyth, Ingham and Geo. Kremer. he was particularly severe. After he had closed, Mr. Kremer arose and read letter written by MT. Wright in some potic- al controversy. during last summer, and very knowingly asked if he kneO the author. Without answering the question, the latter rose, and read bill of indictment for perju- " against George Kremer-and asked Kre- mer if he knew the individual named in it ? Kremer replied that he was the man :; and that he had been honoraby acquitted.
 It would be vain for me to attempt to des- cribe to you the scene of uproar that existed in the House during the latter part of the site ting. Crles of order were heard in every d. rection, while nothing but disorder reigned. Many members left the House in disgust. The Speaker was continually obliged to inter- pose his authority, but not always with effect will endeavor to give you some account of the proceedings, and some anecdotes which you will not find in the newspapers, m my next.
