Another special order of the day has occupied

temporarily sleeps. The Report of the Select

Hon. Rice Garland and Hon. Jesse A. Bynum,
was called for. MIR. Underwood of Ky, ProPos-
ed series of Resolutions in relation, not so much
to the past breach of privilege, as to the Preven
tion If similar acts of violence hereafter. The
Resolutions contemplated the means oil keeping
order, punishment by Imprisonment, holding con-
tributors to the press to account, &c
Mr.. johnson thought the resolutions was not
in order. The Speaker decided that they were.
An appeal was taken, discussed at length, and
the decision reversed los to SO. Mr.. Underwood
thought he could make the first Resolutions IN

therefore, brought forward, declaring that no FUR
Their proceedings ought to be had in the case OF
the breach of privilege between the two mem

An attempt was made 10 lay the whole
subject upon the table, but failed. Various

THE STANDING ARMY, OF 200.
eco MEN
We this day publish one Of the most
Interesting documents ever laid before
the American people--the reply of the
President Of the United States, TO GER
tam lnterrcgations propounded to him BY
tour respectable citizens Of Virginia, up
on the most important topics Of the day,
which we recommend to the particular
attention of our readers, who there will
hnd that Mr.. Van Buren,, with the ut
most promptitude, expresses his senI-
meuis upon those important points. His
"policy" is not that Of his competitor, "to
make no declaration Of principles for the
public eye, whilst IN his present posi-
stion." His policy is, openly and fear
lessly to aVow his principles, and to make
declaration Of those upon which he will
conduct the government if elected. And
let the people vote or vote not for him, at
the ensuing election, he writes no private
letters TO one part of the union in favor of
abolition, and to another part of it in d.
rect opposition to abolitionlsm. He does
not confess that he was a member Of an
abolition society 10 one man, and declar-
to another that he never was-or " till
within few weeks never knew of the ex-
istence Of such societies." He does not,
for months, cajole the aboltiOnists, and
impress them with the belief that he is
friendly to their cause, and boast to the
shareholders that no man, south of Mason
and Dixon's line, has done more for the
cause of slavery. He treats all men alike.
His declarations are openly made to all
parties. He skulks not under incendary
letters that must not be published, but
may be made any other use of.
Let the reader look to the delicate
manner in which he alludes to his COM
petitor, and compare it with the report of
that competitors speech at Greenyille, in
which he denounces Mr.. Van Buren, with
intending to "add to tie regular force Of
the Union, a standing army Of 100000
neEn
Let the reader compare the document
presented 70 him this day, with the Bob
adj, ego;istical speeches Of General
Harrison, replete with absolute falsehoods
as well as misrepresentation, and then
decide which of the two is best qualified
for the Office they pretend TO, and which
best deserves his support at the election.

Or Here is an extract from "the Pulse
of the People," published at Woodstock,
VT, by G. G. Eastman, Esq, very spir-
lied political writer.
"It is of no sort of moment in this
contest, whether General Harrison is the
bravest warrior or the meanest coward,
that eve: graced or disgraced the pages
of history. Let the man alone. His
principles! his principles! II is sufficient
for the old republicans to know that he
is the candidate Of the old Federalists.

There may not be as much speculation,
but industry will be better rewarded than

A NICE PoINT.-The United States
Marshal for the district of Cincinnati,
whose duty it is in taking the census of
the people, to return accurate lists of the
DUMB in the United States, is in doubt
whether Gen. Harrison should or should
not be included in that category. The

the fact, thinks he should not; because
he is dumb only when it suits his con-
Venience.
