In the Senate, on the 18th, a message was re-
ceived from the president in answerto resolution
of the senate, transmitting report from the Sc
cetary of state, the correspondence between this
government and Mexico, &C., portion OF which
was read. In it, Mr.. Webster, referring to let
ter from The Mexican government, denies that this
government has encouraged hostile movements on
the part of Texas against Mexico; says that the
u. States have acknowledged the independence of
Texas, and that if, in the pursuit Of lawful com
merce, the Texans are supplied with arms by
American citizens, the U. 5. cannot prevent it
without violation of its neutrality; speaks Of an
other letter from the Mexican government as de-
rogctoy 10 the character Of the U. s. and highly
oftasice and, with regard to the alleged breach
Of faith on the part of this government, says that
the president directs that no answer be given, but
that the conduct of the U. S. in its intercourse
with Texas viii not be changed in any degree,
whether Texas and Mexico be at war or not. Sc
majors of all parties expressed their hearty appro-
baton of the course pursued by the functionaries
of our government, and commended highly the
spirit displayed by the American secretary in this
correspondence.
On tho 18TH in the house, the tariff and reve.
nue. bill was, under the operation of the previous
question, finally passed and sent to tie senate.
The clause to continue the distribution of the pro.
eeeds of the public lands among the states is re-
tained the duty on tea and coffee stricken out
&c. The vote stood yeas ll6, nays III, thirteen
members not voting, of whom il is believed eight
would have voted against the bill and fye for it.
On the 18th, Mr.. Benton asked leave to intro
use IN the senate bill for the repeal of the bank
rupt law. A'vote Of two thirds being necessary
to carry the motion for leave, (the bill having al
ready been once rejected it fl.led- -2l to II.

Impeachment of MIR. Tyler.

The Washington city Madisonian Of
the 9th inst, contains particulars of the
much talked of project to impeach presi-
dent Tyler. That paper says: Mr.. Bolts
of the house will prefer the articles Of i'm
parchment Immediately after the passage
of the tariff distribution bill, when a reso-
luton will be adopted by the Clay wing
caucus majority, declaring the presidents
inability to discharge the duties and pow
ers of his office, while his trial is pending
in the senate. Mangum will act as presi-
deni-he will be regarded as such by the
iederalsts, and obeyed accordingly. The
Office holders viii be required to obey
him. Those that do not can easily be
removed. The session will be prolonged,
and the trial purposely continued for
months.
Such is the substance of the Madisoni.
ans version of the project which if car
rIed into effect would give the Clay wings
a glorious opportunity to carry through,
in violation Of the constitution, most OF
their odIous measures.
Fortunately for the people however, the
constitution gives congress no power 10
declare the chief magistrate suspended
from bis Office. He is authorized TO per.
form its duties until he is renewed upon
impeachment and trial, by majority OF 2
thirds of the senate. II The Clay wings
can procure such aassnience they may
proceed to place MrsMangum at the head
of affairs, and not bafbre that time.
The constitutes of IIc u. S. would bt
fit subject of .tirIicule. i il subjected the
president to suspension from the duties
and power Of his Office by the desire ;
majority of tie house, upon The bare pre-
lerment Of an accusation by a member
II this were the case, a majority OF th,
house might a! any time, even when Their
was not present majority OF all tho rep
rescnlalivcs, depose the president, put II
his place creature Of their own, and d.
whatever else they pleased the senat
concurring. II would in fact al once dis
pense with the necessity of elecnng
president by the people. But the con1li
tuition admits Of no such outrage.--Peori

On the same day the bill from the senate for
the armed occupation of Florida passed the house.
Mr.. Bolts has pubishedin the National lutelli-
gencer 70 charges of impeachment against presi-
dent Tyler which he intends to offer in the house.
Some of them ore ridiculous enough, and all am
cunt to very little. To show what sort of &C.
MUS this Bolts is we may perhaps publish them
hereafter The impeachment, however, seems
ia find little favor with the wings generally, for il
is said that, when the step was proposed IN caucus
there were but half dozen votes in favor of it.

Below we give what returns we have received.
So far they are highly favorable, and tho pros
pect certainly is that Thomas Ford and John
Moore, the democratic candidates for Governor
and 1t. Governor are iriumphanty elected. The
North has nobly done her duty, and if the South
has remained true to herself, the result will prove
cheering to the democracy.
In another column will be found the official
returns of this county, to which we refer our re-
ders with heartfelt satisfaction. 1t will be seen
that Gold Democratic Lssalle" has remained
firm to the true principles of democracy by giving
an increased majority in favor Of Judge Ford and
Col Moore and that she has signally rebuked
the nominations of convention, made contrary
to her wishes and in defiance of her will. 1t will
be seen that the candidates Of the mass meeting
for county officers are all successful and that three
out of the four district nominations, have u ma
jority in this county This, to US, is gra,i-
flying, and particularly so when we take into con-
sideraton the odium attempted to be cast upon
those democrats who dared to act as independent
men. Whatever parts we may have acted during
the recent contest, we have done nothing fol
which we now ask iorgvness-nothing of which
we do not feel proud, and nothing which We
would not under similar circumstances do again.
To the successful candidates we promise fail
and impartial examination into their official acts
To render merit aud worth their just reward, shat
ever be- our aim, regardless Of our private feelings
towards men. In regard to the successful can
didates for the Senate and House, we hope t.
find them the Incorporating foes of % log roll
ing" and reckless legislation, which has ''damnet
to everlasting fans" former legislators, and sunl
tho character and standing Of our Slate to thu
lowest ebb. That they will indas'riously app,
themselves to reform existing abuses, and purify
our whole system Of legislation, wo conf

Hiding Conserse 'cih D.parted Sprits.--Dr.
Colyer, the celebrated lecturer on animal magnet
ism, has commenced a monthly publication in n.
York, called the Mesmeric Magazine. From the
following extract from his FIRST number it will be
seen that the Doctors periodical promises to be-
come in part the vehicle Of intelligence from the
land Of spirits
Our mcsmerisecs have repeatedly conversed with
Jeparted spirits, and have from them received
communications Of Kind that has tested and
proved to us beyond doubt the reality and truth Of
The intercourse. Examples Of these communions,
and descriptions Of the spiritual world, taken from
the lips Of claitvoyants, will be frequently given
to our readers"

trees in the neighborhood Of Holidays
burgh, Pa. They have been attacked by
a worm, which bores through aud through

to bring them TO the ground. Standing
beside the trees, the boring operation can
be plainly heard, and the dust Of the ami

the tree.

The Louisiana election has resulted in the
choice of a. Morton, one Of her present L. S. Sc
majors, for governor, and of Dawson and Bryce,
democrats, and White, wing, for congress. In
the legislature the wings claim and probably have
a small majority. Upon the whole, the democrats
feel ike throwing up their hats add shouting
"victory!" Mouton is the only democrat that has
ever been elected governor in Louisiana.
