Justly c.,argeable with the loss Of the fo.ti-
iicaton bill. Neither of them he said

belonged to that man, (pcin.ing 70 Cambre-
leng who sat in the seat next in front of him,
and shaking his long finger full and violent.
3y in his face, - the hsae ~prernonltory"
turned round his smiling phssiognomy) yes,
said he, raising his voice, as Nathan said
to David--thou art the man! He then went
into history Of the whole prodeedings,
took up the record, and showed BY it that
Mr.. Cambrclcng refused on that famous
night to report the bill agreed upon by the
Conference Committee, after the President
had left lhe Capitol in wrath, because, as he
said at the tilnc, it was after IL O'Clock, and
therefore there was no constitutional House.
He then showed that Churchill c. Cambre.
leng (and he rung out the name loud and
cften) did remain in the House and vote Of:
ter that time. He said Mr.. D. II. Lewis,
another member Of the Conference Com.
mittee, made the report after he found tha,
Mr. Cambreleng would not. (Hcrc Mr..
c. said he did not make it, He did make
it. said M. Wise at the top of his voice,
and here it is upon the record (at the same
time boiling up the book Of freports.) He
charged the same species Of manGuvering
also upon Samuel Beardsley. He said that
when Mr.. D. II. Lewis made the report
and it was to be acted upon, there was no
quorum to be found Like the men Of
Roderic Dhu, portion Of the House would
come and 60 at the call Of whistle, or the
stamp Of foot! After portraying the in
consistency Of the conduct Of Cambrelcng
and Beardsley, IN refusing to vote at one
time after it was IL o'clock, and then voting
upon another question still after that, he
asked where were their eonsciences? The
Speaker said that was not in order. We'll,
thel, where were their scrupss?
In alluding, two or three times, to the Va.
rious novelties exhibited in the scenes Of
the last famous night of the last session,
Mr.. Wise declared that q portion of the
members were drowsy and tired, others in.
dolent and indifferent and some drunk. So
he said that what with maneuvering, being
tired, sleepy, lazy, and drunk, no quorum
could be had only when certain idiuiduals
desirei it.. He was called to order for say.
ing that the members ofthe last House were
drunk on the asst night Of the se sior. Mr..
Wise said he did not charge them all with
being dr, nix, nor did he y that one half
or the tenth part were drunk but that some
Of them were drunk it was well known.
The fact could not be disputed.
Mr.. Lane of Indiana, rose and asked I
Dir. Wise to name those who he knew
were drunk.
Mr.. Wise: IF were to name them, the
gentleman might feel unpleasant.
Hero order! order! was cried by the
Speaker and by the members. Order was
restored and the VIRGINIA scoRcHER went
on. His uncrring rife told at every shot.
Mr.. Wise also went at the Speaker. He
said the truth must all come ont. lie then
gave the substance of private conversation
Mr.. Polk and Mr.. Cambreleng,
On the famous last night, about the Execu.
lives wishes in relation to the 100000,
which Mr.. Polk at the time told to one of
bis colleagues, with the injunction, not to
say any thing about it," Mr.. Wise said if
the Speaker denied it he had a witness to
confirm the fact. Mr.. Polk replied and
admitted the substance Of the charge. Mr..
Wise continued for some time after, when
an adiournm,n mt was called for and carried
before he aad concluded.
The Correspondent of tbs Cincinnati Wing |
says on the same subject,
The remarks of Mr.. Adams [intima. |
ting that Mr.. Webster would be willing to
Join the enemy Of his county,] was follow.
ed with the clapping of hands, the stamp.
ing of feet, and the striking upon the desks
by the orderly members ofthe orderly party.
The confusion was intense. The Speaker
with q tremulous voice demanded order,
saving that such disorder had not taken plahe
in Congress for the last ten years. New.
cr-never BEFORE was echoed from all
parts Of the House.
Another letter says, that whom the clapping
hissed the Representatives.
