aSlsssssgss IS 80

by last evenings mail we are put in pos
session of our n York files Of papers to Sat
urday, and Congressional dates as usual to
Thursday, inclusive, in which we were some
what startled at FIRST sight with the alarming
intelligence that
The President hal sent an ettra Message
10 the Senate on The subject Of The Maine Boun-
dairy Question, highly seasoned Nth War
SPIRIT! But when we came to find thai it pro-
ceeded from one of the correspondents of the
Journal of Commerce who occasionally figures
a little for the loco focos, our fears partially
subsided.
The Message has not come to hand, but the
correspondence between the American and
British Ministers communicated, is given in
detail, and though it looks a little squally vet
it is believed that it will all blow over unless
one Of the parties is bent on conflict.
The Message seemed to produce no unusu-
al exc itement in the Senate, though Mr. Web
ster and Mr. Davis from their remarks seemed
to think that something must be done or col
lision would ensue.
The Message was referred to the committee
on Foreign Affairs, and 10000 extra copies
ordered to be printed.
We shall avail ourselves of the earliest OPP
portunity to give the Message and correspon-
dence to our readers.

another column. Subsequently at about day
ligh, the House succeeded in making up
quorum, and then went into committee of the
whole on the state Of the Union on the Treas

that there was no quorum, and it was ten o.
clock before a quorum could be mustered, in
order TO proceed again to business. The treas
ury note bill was the subject Of discuss ion un-
til the House adj. During this long sitting it
is said there was an unusual good feeling ex-
isting, and no disreputable sparring, as is usu-
al on such occasions.

brief answer to Mr. Webster's resolution in re-
alton to the issues of Treasury Notes.

on Ways and Means, reported the sub--Treas-
ury bill as it came from tie Senate, without
Amendment /, was referred to committee
of the whole on the state of the Union.
The Treasury note bill occupied the attention
of the House the remainder Of The day an IT was
presumed iisi there would be anoth night sit
ting For the administration men were deter
mined TO pass that bill before another adjourn
ment. and the opposition would not have inter
posed, probably, were they satisfied with the dis
post GU intended Of the oney. There Gems
to he great jealousy, disifusi and want of con-
idence in the administration even by some OF its
own friends.
