In the Senate to-day, Mr. Talmadge presented
remonstrance from Missouri against the repeal OF
postponement Of the Bankrupt Law, upon wnich
some discussion arose between him and MI Lihn
After the presentation of petitions, and the recep
ton If r.norts from committees the Senate took up
the iont resolution of Mr. KING, fixing the 2Otn DAY
of Nav for the adjournment of this session OF Con-
uress sne die and after a few remarks by MI.
K1,c in favor of the resolution and showing that
the nubc business could be transacted by that time,
and by Mr.. Clay in oppoaition to it, its consldera-
ton was postponed ill Monday next.
The Senate then proceeded to the consideration
If the three Joint resolutions introduced by Mr..
CuAy.to amend the constitution OF the United
States.
Mr.. Archer took the floor, and spoke until the
Senate adjourned. He argued both for and against
the veto, and with about equal effect. but finally
came to conclusion by stating that II Mr.. CLAYs
proposition to abolish the veto power should come
20 vote. he would move to modify it, that bill
vetoed shall not be decided on till the session sue
eeedius the one at which it wa, vetoed, and thar
majority of both Houses shall then be competent to
pass II into a law.
Mr.. Clay rose and gave the Senator from Virginia
(Mr Archery assurances that it was his intention to
press the resolutions to final action; and before the
time came round, he would give the proposed
amendment Of the Senator due consideration.
Mr.. MosrHEAD expressed a wish to make some
remarks upon the resolutions, and with that vlew'
on his motion, their further consideration was post
poned until Monday next. and the Senate adjourn
ed. ~
There has been good deal OF talk here for the
hast two or three days Of contemplated ch anges In
the Cabinet and some Of the rumors have been put
into reasonable shapes, but they are all without un
dation No change is ao,o expected OF desred'
either by the President any of his Cabinet. what
may take place IN the course Of the next SIX weeks.
il is impossible to say Certain allegations are said
70 be in preparation against one OF the Secretaries
which, if supported by adequate preof, will cause
both impeachment and removal The charges may
not be susceptible Of proof-peesibly they are with
out foundation; but if they are true, and the fact
can be demonstrated, the fall Of Aaron Burr or
Nicholas Biddle was joke compared to that which
awaits the distinguished Secretary.
The pipe layers are making every effort in their
get influence here, as their last resort They
have been driven from Albany by the opposition
parry. and by the indifference of the wings, who,
rather Than be ruled by such corrupt clique suffer-
ed the election to 20 by default last fall They were
next driven from their influence in the city by gen.
esal laly of the people, in the various wards, who
turned out every man on the committees who was
suspected of the least degree Of pipe-laying. The
contempt was not more general in pa ry than in
the other. Fooled in their own strong hold, they
turned their attention to Washington, where they
supposed their character was not known. Here
they represent their influence at home unbounded,
and claim all the Offices and appointments as their
property.
No Office was filled at Albany but by consent of
the New York ppe.layers, and in large majority
Of cases these Offices paid for at given price.
One Of the ppe-IayeYs offered an office to member
of the Assembly from the city Of New York, while
standing in the Office Of Gov. Seward, at Albany,
/ for certain sum Of money; and the Offices in the
State have been sold out for money a. a general
thing.
1t is believed, however, that their schemes will
not be successful here. They may find q coadjutor
In the Cabinet, but the integrity and independence
of the President precludes the idea of their general
success. They may deceive him in single cases. and
procure the occasional appointment of an incompe-
tent, corrupt, OF unsuitable person but no appre-
hension need be entertained that they can ever es
tablish permanent influence at the seat Of govern
nent.
These people are now making desperate exer-
tons to prevent the appointment of Mr.. Bloodgood
to the New York post Office, and to procure the
lecol of one of their own kidney But it is all in
vain II seems to be understood here that Mr..
Bloodgood is to have the office, and that it is now
only question of time.
