THE Bolts INQUlSITION.

NOT vet satisfied with their attempts TO head
the Presidenl-derermned to make as much
noise. and to give as much trouble as possible,
the charges of Mr.. Bolts against the President
are TO be again brought up in the House Tor
consideration. The commencement was made
Yesterday, through the columns OF the lntelli-
gencer, which paper still cries mercy, and still
lends itself 10 this high-handed and outrageous
course of proceedings
Mr. Bolts yesterday published in that paper
a revised and corrected edition OF his speech
against the Executive, for the express ana
avowed purpose of exciting the People In ms
favor and against Mr.. Tyler. The editors give
his no,e to them, probably for the purpose Of
Ietr;ng MIR. Bolts speak for himself; thus avoid
ing the necessity of committing themselves on
this delicate question, and leaving door open
for the advantage OF graceful and dignlted
retreat hereafter. by throwing all the blame on
the honorable member, and disclalming IN De-
half of themselves and the whole majority on
Congress- any connection with $50 ridiculous
scheme"
The Frankfort Commonwealth, the mouth
niece of the late Kentucky Senator, has come
ont openly for impeachment and from this Mr.
pot. and The Intelligencer have doubtless taken
their cue.
But the old plan having failed, some new ex-
pedient must be hit upon, for Congress cannon
adjourn, leaving Mr.. Bolts with the weight OF
ienouiny he has placed upon his own shoulders
TO bear him down, without some effort 10 relIeve
that gentleman before his constituents and the
Iwoid Mr.. Bots declares that he does not at
ltend the caucus meetings of the party, yet things
IRE done in caucus for his express benefit
! new dress is now required to give the affair
gentemanly appearance, and extreme modera-
ton is no longer necessary, since the oracle OF
Kentucky has spoken.
That our readers may know-that the nation
may know, and be prepared for this new vamp-
ing of the old story, we hasten to lay before the
public such information as has reached US rela-
tive TO it. We then say, that it Is now decided
that Mr. Bolts will present his charges OF im-
parchment against the President, and they are
to be referred to select committee with power
to send for persons and papers. This commit
tee is to call upon several members OF the ex
ploded Cabinet, some members of the House,
and more than one honorable Senator, besides
other persons in Virginia and elsewhere.
Mr. Ewing's parting despatch will be remod-
elled, and all the great and small tatte that can
be collected will be introduced and expanded,
as far as elasticity will permit. Perhaps the
editors Of the Intelgencer will be called on to
give their evidence orally, though the investiga-
ton is to be conducted prirately-atter the
manner Of the Spanish Inquisition. No friend
of the Presidents can be admitted. A report
will then be drawn up and submitted to the
House, in which all the trash collected by this
midnight inquistion will be embraced; though,
strange to say, the report will wind up with a
short resolution, declaring that, although Mr..
Tyler deserves to be impeached, yet 1t will be
nexpedient at this time to undertake so mo-
mentous a mea sure, sand the committee beg so
be discharged from the further consideration ef
the subject"
Mr.. Bots, though he cannot now carry his
resolutions of impeachment, can succeed in OBJ
tanning his committee, and such is the calm,
cool, and deliberate determination at the present
moment and such is to be the end of the whole
matter.
For the first time since the formation of this
Government, we are to have direct proposition
to introduce the full forms of the Spanish Inquisi-
ton, and the first man to be thus tired is the
President of the United States. Unable to pro-
cure the aid of their own party in an impeach-
ment, they now propose to examine witnesses
in midnight star chamber council and there,
with nothing but the contact Of thick darkness,
to confer as to measures for destroying the
Executive of the nation. And this, too, is all
to be accomplished by and with the approba-
zion, and under the protection Of the free Re-
representatives. of the free People of these
United States
