THE Bolts INQUlSITION.

Not yet satisfied with their attempts to head
the Observation-Disclosures to make as much
noise, and to give much trouble as possible,
the charges of Mr. Bolts against the President
are to BIZ again brought up in the House Tor
consideration. The commencement was made
Yesterday, throu Oh the columns OF the lntelll-
gencer, which paper sill cries mercy, and still
lends itself to 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 and
avowed purpose of exciting the People in his
favor and against Mr.. TYLER. The editors give
his note to them, probably for the purpose OF
letting Mr.. 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 digm.1ed
retreat hereafter. by throwing all the blame on
the honorable member, and disclaiming In be-
half of themselves and the whole major OF
Congress, any connection with $50 ridiculous
a scheme"
The Frankfort Commonwealth, the mouth
niece of The late Kentucky Senator, has come
out openly for impeachment (; and from this Mr.
Bolts and The Intelligencer have doubtless taken
their cue.
But the old plan having failed, some new ex-
pedent must be hit upon, for Congress cannon
adjourn, leaving Mr.. Bolts with the weight OF
ignominy he has placed upon his own shoulders
to bear him down, without some effort 10 relieve
that gentle nan before his constituents and the
world. Mr.. Bolts declares that he does not at
tend the caucu, meetings OF the party, yet things
are done in caucus for his express benefit "A
new dress is now required to give the affair
een,lemanly appearance, and extreme modera-
ton is no longer necessary, since the oracle OF
Kentucky has spoken.
That our readers may know-that the nation
NAV know, and be prepared for this new vamp-
inc of the old story, we hasten to lay before the
public such information as has reached us reia-
tive to it, We then say, that it is now decided
that Mr.. Bots will present his charges Of i'm
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 TAFT that can
be collected will be introduced and expanded,
as far as elasticity will permit Perhaps the
editors of The Integencer will be called on to
give their evidence orally, though the investiga-
ton is 10 be conducted priuately-after the
manner of the Spanish Inquisition No friend
of the Presidents can be admitted. report
will then be drawn up and submitted to the
House, in which all the tra,h collected by this
midnight inauistion 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
inexpedient at this tine TO undertake so mo-
mentous measure, aand the committee beg 10
he discharged from the further consideration of
the bject."
Mr.. Bots, though he cannot now carry his
resolutions of impeachment, can succeed In oD-
tanning bis 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 a direct proposition
to introduce the full forms of the Spanish lnquisi-
ton, and the first man to be thus tired is me
President of the United States. Unable to pro-
cure the aid of their own party In an lmPeach-
ment, they now propose to examine witnesses
in midn ght 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-
lion. and under the protection Of the free Re
representatives. Of the free People OF these
