brightest day of me 'choIe session. IL mlstake
mot then. the Bill will be considered next to
the Revenue Bill now before the House -
nrobablv the discussion will commence on
Saturday the 3lst of July, and close in season
to place the Bill i'm the hands of the Presl-

Mr. Clay said in the Senate Chamber only
Yesterday, that none Of the friends OF the
Administration knew, or have sought 70 know
the views of the Executive in reference 10
| the Bill which has received the favorable
consideration of the Senate, and are sure'
also, that the Executive has not given utter
I ance to any opinion, as to what he would, or
would not do. His wish has been, that the
Senate and the House of Representatives
would pass the best Bill which could be
passed the combined wisdom of the two
Houses of Congress. When, therefore, the
Courier & Enquirer insinuate, as it does, that
the President has dared to threaten veto, it
does not only the greatest injustice to the
President, but commits an outrage upon the
whole Wing party. What President Tyler
NAV do / know not, but The opinion Of every
Wing in Washington, ! believe is, that HE
WILL SIGN THE Bill. His friends have the
greatest confidence in him, and would as
soon in the present condition of things, dis
trust HENRY CLAY as JOHN TYLER. While,
therefore, no man knows the determination
| of the Executive, as nobody should know, as
opinion would be but will, and will but little
short of dictation. No friend of the Presi-
dent, however, doubts or fears the issue.
The Baak Bal ViA pass The House, and the
President 1ciH approve the Bill. do but guess,
but as have guessed right in every measure
of the session, beg some indulgence in the
prediction. The only reason for reference
to veto, is to put you on your guard against
trick of the Loco Focos here. | heard two
of the Virginian opponents OF the PRESIDENT
this morning speak with some assurance as
to what the President would do. The opin-
ion, or rather expression of opinion, for it Is
not, think, an opinion in fact, soon became
contagious and this evening score or two
Of members undertook to speak for the Exec
utive, who as yet has not spoken for himself.
There is "a craft in this, which originates in
no other feeling than to create general
doubt, first in the public mind, and then IN
the mind Of the President. Thetrick is too
shallow to be concealed, and the people have
only to learn the motive to see the failacy. M
In SENATE, July 26th.-The morning bust-
ness was the passage of Bill 10 make the
law of Congress correspond with the act ~
the Convention between the United States
and Mexico, upon the subject OF the clainsof
the citizens of the United States against the
Government Of Mexico. The Bill is in the
possession of the House, and should it receive
the favorable consideration Of that body, MS
it probably will, it will prove q most import
ant measure to those whose claims have been
agreed to by the umpire,-payment being
made at once by the Mexican Government.
instead Of being made ut the conclusion OF
the Convention some nine months hence. .'t
The Fertilization Bill from the House was
next considered for an hour aud half, and
with an indication of feeling not altogether
favorable to its passage. One class of Sena-
tors from different sections of the Unions
with more of selfishness than general good
feeling, oppose the BIZ because their State
and constituents a re rfUr particularly rcgtTti-
ed. As in the view of the Department, for
example, appropriations in the present pos
ture Of affairs, are deemed more necessary
for the maritime frontier than for the bor-
ders Of the country, Senators, from tho bor-
der States find an excuse for general opposl-
ton. Another feeling is, the postponenlent
of an appropriation until the twelfth hour
the effect of which is often the loss of
whole season to the Department, and great
embarrassment to the public service. TO say
nothing Of the expense Of delay and the in
creased dilapidation of the public works.
The subject is postponed for the present,
with that part Of the Bill, Of course. which
proposes an appropriation for the Florida
war, and the payment of the debts. due by
the Government Tor the Florida ser Vie.
The Fiscal Bank Bill was the third subject
before the Senate during the day. An hour
almost was consumed in the reading of the
Bill, which covers some forty pages. .a.
Mr.. Benton, as usual, had speech to-
make, and his illustrations to-day were marr-
moths and e asshoppers, limping limbs and
broken heads. His position was, that the
amendment adopted yesterday, completely
surrendered the power to the States.
Mr. Dixon, Of r. J., in few words replied
very briefly, and very much to the purpose
insisting that the amendment still preserved
the integrity Of the principle, growing out Ut
the grant Of power
Mr.. White, of Indiana, who is clear
headed and intelligent Senator, defined his
position also. He preferred MIR. Clay's Bile
as it stood, but yielded to the judgment Of
friends whom he respected, and what he
conceived to be rather concession OF form
than concession of principle.
Mr.. Benton, aided by his friend Levi
Woodbury., made last dying effort to get
rid oc the Bill before the Senate, in the form
of indefinite postponement. lingering
hope seemed to rest with the opponents ofthe
measure, that the Virginia Senators woui4
90 with them in support of this proposition
It was groundless hope, and showed that,
however impracticable the two Senators were
upon the main question, they would not
unite with their enemies in questions design
ed to break up the Wing party, or SOW the
seed of dscord in their ranks.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,, July 2S.-The
Revenue Bill by resolution is to be taken
