CONGRESS-.

The correspondent OF the Charleston Courier,
under date Of the 18th ms, says " u mos. cx.
traordinury and exciting debate has arisen in
the House on n motion Of the abolllionists. 10
strike on, the appropriation for the outfit and
snlary of Waddy Thompson. as minister to
Mexico. |, was evidently concerted move
mcut, and is TO be supported by tho whole abe
litionist in the country. Mr.. Linn, Of New
York, made The motion, accompanying it with
speech. Mr. Sladc. Of Vermont, followed
him, on the same side. The argumen, in favor
of the motion WAS based on the assertion, made
by Mr. Linn and Others that President Tyler s
intriguing with view TO effect the annexation
Of Tuas to The United States. This, they int.
mated. was the main objec, of Gen. Thomp-
sons mission; and they insisted that Gen. I.
bad been sent instructions to this end. They
also alluded TO the fac, that General Thompson,
when in Congress, was an ardent friend TO
Texas, aud in favor Of the annexation; and is.
therefore, an unsuitable person TO represent this
country in Mexico. unless our objec, be to ac-
quire Texas. They said that the South might
possibly succeed in this policy, but thai i, would
be At the expense Of the Union of these States.
They declared that the great majority of the
free States would separate, at once, from the
Union, in case Texas should be admitted into
it; and that i, would also bring upon US war
with England. |, was also urged that the trade
OF the United States with Mexico was not of
sufficient extent TO justify the mnin,ainance Of
u mission there"
The following brief sketch of tho remarks of
the Hon. F. w. Pickcns. in reply 10 Mr.
Lime. we copy from the National InieIligen-
Ger of the 18th inst.
Mr.. Pickeus said be should no, have

gentleman from New York. (Mr. Linn.)-
The gentleman had moved to strike out
the appropriation for the mission 20 Next

and most important ground. lie had said
that his reasons for it were. tina, The prin-
cipal object Of tha! mission was the annex.

point the gentleman from New York was
well aware tina, there was great and deep
interest fell, not only in this country, but
The different portions of the civ
ilized globe. The gentleman had put our
foreign missions on The principle Of COM
mercial importance. Ifhe (Mr. P.) was a,
all acquainted with the policy ofthis coun-
try, thai was secondary consideration en-
Iirely. True, The commercial relations be-
Tween this country and Mexico were moi
very important; bu, the importance Of mis-

IN their political positions and The poli,i.
