NOvEh C0rOiina.-The lower house of the leeisa. lure of ,bs has recently passed resolution in. sruc'ing of their Senators, Mr. Mangum, to vote for exp""gi"g from the JouroaIs of the Senate of the U S. the resolution passed Inst winter censuri"g Pre- se"I Jack"O" for interfering with the public moneys.
 The resolution gave rise to much debate, but was f- "nIIy passed by majority of l2 or B. During the debate. Mir. Fleming delivered tery able speech, 1 from which we make the following extracis:-

Though feeling that injustice was done you, could you condemn the course of your opponents, having esa bised the precedent for them Justice requires that we should extend [" others all the rights which claim for ourselves and that should pluck the beam first aud then castlhe mole.
 "The Senate of the United States censured the President, because they believed he was wrong. He is public officer, and they his cOns uioma advisers.
