The Arkansas advocate., 1836-03-04

Congress has appropriated $500, ,000to de- fray the expenses of the war in Florida.
 
 Coneress.-Our dates from Washington City are up to February 9th. Both houses were still occupied in long and hot debates upon the receiving of abolition petitions and in discussing the history of the loss of the appropriation bill of the last session. Singular scenes have been enacted in the house of Representatives, of which some account Is given In our last and present numbers. In the Senate, Webster and Southard charge the loss of 1t upon the ad- ministration party i'll the House. In the House, the same charge IS made by Wise and Hardin; while J. Q. Adams charges itupon the Senate. MT. Adams has gone over to the Van Buren ranks. who are hear tily welcome 10 him. He looks probably to Secretaryship under the new dynasty. He accommodates himself with a rare fa- cility to every party that IS by turns in the ascendant.
 It is impossible for us to give even an abstract of the speeches referred to. We take the following from the Cincinnati Whig:
 The Senate have had another warm dis cussion upon Benton's resolution. Mr. Southard, of New Jersey, taking the floor, after the reception of the customa- " memorials, petitions and resolutions. MT. s. entered minutely into the question, shedding new light upon the midnight acts ofthe Administration members of Congress. Most concluslvely he has proved that the loss ofthe Appropriation Bill belongs to the House and not to the Senate. From the Journals of the House. during the last ses- sion he proved that the Administration mem- bers had refused to sanction large Appro- priations which the opposers of the Admin istration had voted tor-the Fertilization Bills for Boston, S;, Augustine, Delaware, and elsewhere.
 He quoted from the Journals of the House the fact that these and like appro- priations were opposed and voted down by Cambreleng, Polk, and all the members of the party and argued from these facts that the Administration members were as un- willing to grant appropriations as the Sen ate which has received so much abuse.
 We take the following paragraph from the New York Star. The New Yorlsers oyerreached themselves. They wared a. galnst the s. Bank, for the purpose of getting large Bank in their own State, which after all, they failed to obtain.
 BANK OF THE U. STATES.
 So then we are to have the Bank of the inited States re-chartered after all. After we have had the "monster'' down. and the foot of the cid hero on it's neck-after the Globe had fired lis pound of mustard shot every day for four years full in its face after charging every opposition Senator with being bought by the Bank after filing our affidavit that the monster was bank Eupt, and that the deposites were not to be 1ouad-afler bringing forward ocr safety fund 1iieeih OH Us Tulns, prosIallng NICK Diu- de in ihe dust, and driving Van Buren's English carriage, livery, footmen, and al! over nls prostraie body---after having man. uiactured "publc opinion" in every section or the union against the Bank---atier shout Ing on all sides it's down, dead and buried -,-'ne State of Pennsylvania is a about te ,e-cnarter that institution re-charter it witl a4e enormous capital of TwENTy-ErcH1
