 to be abandoned, or what is the same thing, exploded; why is it that the merchant of the United States,--the commercial and business men of the country, ,--why is it that such men are dismayed, cast down and discouraged? The extension of the payment of duties on Bonds may be relied upon, but such meas ure can no more be relied upon, than can the firm, determined and zealous opposition of majority of the members, against the new ex- periments which have been proposed in the extraordinary Message ofthe Executive, and which, if ifadopted, would prove worse plague to the United States, than did the flies, the frogs, and the locusts to Egypt But fear no such measures. The people are sick ot Ex- periments, and the House of Representatives will not disobey the voice of the people.
 
 WASHINGTON, Sept. 12, ? o'clock.
 Mir. Cambreleng, in the House of Repre- sentatives, reported bill for postponaag the fourth instagment of the Surplus Rerenue. The bill was read twice and ordered to be printed Mir. Cambreleng gave notice that he should report two additional bills tomorrow, upon the same subject. Several memorials were presented from different sections of the coun- try, in relation to the Currency when the House, by resolution, voted to proceed to the election of Chaplain. Seven candidates were nominated, from all sections of the country, and most of them, Tbelieve, upon the spot ready for their salaries-Gnd the preaching fthe Gospel. The Chaplain's pay for short session, you know, is about $500. and as the present session promises to be of short du- ration, the laborers in this Congressional vineyard will, beyond question, be well paid for their services. There were but two bal lots; upon the first ballot Mr. Huston, of Vir- ginia, received 90 votes, and upon the sec- ond, 135-being majority over all other candidates.
 Mir. Adams has introduced three resolu- tions this morning of the following purport- which, by the rules ofthe House, lie over for one day: Calling upon the President for in- formation relative to the boundary between Mexico and the United States; for all the correspondence which has been carried on between the Mexican and American Govern ments; for all correspondence between the Texian and American governments all pub- lie intercourse between the two governments; all matters of diplomacy between American and Texian officers This is the subject of two resolutions the third has reference to the North Eastern boundary, and calls for all correspondence, information, &c., relative to the question, which it may be in the power of the Executive to give to Congress. The res- olutions will be taken from the table to-mor- row, for the action of the House. No discus sion, it is believed, can be had upon the sub- iect at present. The House will not submit to any debates in reference to Texas, Mexi- co, and the North Eastern boundary, before the regular session. Then, you may prepare yourselves for protracted and furious one. Mir. Adams will lead the way against Texas. and the friends of Texas from the South will fight valiantly as they can for their ally.
 The House adjourned at half past one, hav- ing done nothing more than have detailed above. @ 9gG aT
