CONGRESS-.

| In the House, on Wednesday, some CONVEX
sation arose concerning the withdrawal of the
motion to reconsider the vote by which the bill
providing for the armed occupation of Florida
had been passed. The subject was laid over,
and after various unsuccessful attempts to offer
resolutions, &c, the House went into Commit
tee of the Whole, Mr.. Gilmer in the chair and
resumed the consideration of territorial business.
The first bill taken up was that for establishing
The boundary line between Iowa and Missouri.
After the reading of full report on the subject,
Mr.. Pope explained that the bill now under con-
sderaon had been reported by the Committee
on Territories at the last Congress, and had re-
ceived the approval of that Committee at the
present Congress. AS the report imbodied the
whole argument which led TO the report of the
bill he would not repeatit.
Mr. EDWARDS offered substitute for the ORR
ginal bill-argued at length in favor OF the line
contended for by the State of Missouri-and
was followed by Mr. Dodge, of Iowa, in reply.
The discussion was wholly of technical cha
racter turning principally on the signlhcation OF
the term Des Moines rapds-as to what rapids
the name applies.
Mr. MCKAY rose to offer proviso to the bill.
His vote on the bill would be determined by the
acceptance of his amendment providing that the
boundary fixed by the bill should be admitted by
the Legislature of Missouri at its next session.
While the power existed in the General Gov
eminent to fix the boundary of territory, he
conlended it was not competent TO interfere
with the boundary of State without the con-
sent of the State.
Mr.. EDWARDS, of Missouri, stated difficulty.
The boundary of the State cannot be changed
BY an act of the Legislature, but only by change
of the Constitution.
Mr.. MCKAY said, that then the case had bet
ter be left to the adjudication of the courts, and
not be legislated on by Congress.
Mr.. DAVIS opposed the proposition OF Mr.
Mckay, and went into full examination OF the
merits of the question, indicating the bill re-
ported by the Committee.
The debate was continued by MIR. Edwards
and Mr.. Dodge.
The amendment of Mr.. Edwards was reject
ed, as was that also of Mr.. Mckay. The bill
was then laid aside to be reported
On motion of Mr.. DoDGE, of Wisconsin, the
bill granting land for the improvement of Grant
river, &c., was laid aside for report.
The following bills were similarly disposed
Of A bill for the relief OF certain settlers in the
Territory of Wisconsin; bill providing fol
certain additional expenses of the Territory Of
Florida.
The bill for building seawall near ST. Au
gustine bill for the pay of The Florida militia
led to inquiries and debate from Messrs. Fill
more, Warren, &c, and explanations from Mr.
Levy. 9th, bills in which the territories were
! concerned, were SUCCESSFULLY acted on

MIR. CLAY,S PRETORIAN BAND.

There can be no doubt of the existence of an
oroarisnd hand Of nfTicr -hnlders, whose opera
lions are directed solely to the end that the Pre-
sident NAV be thwarted, discounted, crushed
The four or five thousand Wing politicians APP
ponted by the retired Cabinet (and not few
since. by means of the most contemplate de-
ception) obeying the mandates oil the central
organization in this city, have been, and are at
this MON mt, exerting all their influence to pre-
pent the President from acquiring that accession
of strength so indispensable to the success OF
his saluary measures and the popularity and
honor of his Administration.
These teacherous politicians inspired
with Jealous friendship for the Adminstra-
ton, 1phen among the droDed friends Of the
Executive when among their Clay friends
thew denounce the Presidents and when among
the Democrats, they insult them, and hint that
thew are authorized by the Administration to do
sol And they point to their commissions to
proveit!
We are sure that every honest man, OF every
party, will rejoice when this evil is reformed al
together. The welfare, nay the existence OF
our Government, demands it. Those who have
put their faith in the wisdom, firmness, and pa
otism of John Tyler, will not be disappointed

From the Cincinnati Republican.

~, W. copy the following from the Buffalo Com
W ircial Advertiser, a thorough going Wing paper
we trust other journals will soon be disposed to con-
sder the matter IN lght equally just and patriotic:
THE TARIFF BILL and its probable fate are engros-
snu subjects of remark in all the leading papers ;
md with very few exceptions whenever decided
nnon is expressed it is favor of connecting abso-
nte unconditional distribution with the bill. The
r Rochester Democrat, paper whose thorough w hg-
en-, name can dispute is one of those exceptions
1t says - . 49,, .
q Tariff is Indispensable Distribution is not.
The interests of the country may survive the loss of
Distribution but they cannot survive the defeat of
he Tariff A TARIFF WE MUST HAVE. To insist
man both or neither would, doubt crafty the re-
aiao,y spirit which the veto has excited; but would
crafty the people whose inter, SITS are at stake 2
Nhen the manufacturers are compelled to close their
Establishments and to discharge the tens ofthousands
vho are now at work. those tens of thousands will
emember not that the President vetoed the primo pie
r { distribution but that Wing Congress refuse 10
s,ablisb PROTECTIVE Tariff. When the farmer is
bced to sell his wool for shilling pound, he will
ot stou 10 inquire how f the President right or
pronp when he vetoed the distribution policy; but he
fiH stop to inquire why wing Congress dld not
ave the country Tariff =
There is much force in this, and we entirely agree
vi, h our respected contemporary that If we cannot
ave n Tariff and Distribution at the same time, it
could be folly to refuse taking the first alone.
What will Mr. Fillmore answer to his con-
Btituents for his course of conduct, which seems
q entirely opposed TO their desires and wishes

From the Richmond ENQUIRER.

The position of Mr. Bolts is unique, and supremely
hldicrous He that boosted of Impeachment as the
Fop did in Shakespeare that "the soveregn'st thing
on earth was parmaceti for an inward bruse"-who
talked of carrying it through the House-and then,
of ,uspending Capt Tyler-and then, Of carrying all
the Wing measures under the signature of Citizen
Mangum, is now left in the lurch by his comrades
staone in his glory" He says, in his brief card in
the National nelligencer, that he has not attended
Caucus for long time, and that he has not submitted
his articles of Impeachment "to any portion OF the
party and vet he confesses in his Speech that therc
were some of his friends (How many y who concur
red with him'-but that difficulties were in the way,
and the fear that they could not succeed was an ar
gument with gentlemen" Certain 1t Is, that he has
been reduced to the unpleasant dilemma OF putting
forth his articles at the tail OF his printed speech
and he says he proposes to prefer them before the
House That is to say, II his more discreet friends
will ever give him the opportunity OF suspendlng the
rules, or bringing them forward. lhey VIII never
admit them and therefore, the articles fall still born
from the Press. They are however before the Peo
ple Zone of the most extraordinary cases that ever
occurred y bat they will never get before their con-
sttutonal tribunal, the House OF hePresehtatives'
Mr. Bots declares, that he will prefer them ''when
the proper time arrived."-But that time will never
arriye-or, if his articles should ever come before
the House, they will meet with worse fortune than
Mr. Johnson's Assumption resolutions VI all men
breathing surely Mr.. Bolts has been the most unfor-
tunate in ''heading Capt Tyler" No man has serv-
ed his enemies more or injured his own lends
Rut such is always the effect of impulse without dis
cretion-of sails without ballastof factious spirit
that will never take counsel from the discretion OF
others. We re publish the articles of Impeachment,
as one of the strangest and most amusing Signs Oh e
times. The rest are extraordinary enough-out the
last certainly caps the climax IL amounts 10 TINS no.

We regret to slate that the present condition
of the Secretary of the Treasury does not Jusll-
fy the hope SO confidently felt by his friends, a
few days since, of his early recovery. HIS
friends will, however, be grafed to learn that
his disease, although attended with great suffer
ing, has not yet been regarded dangerous, and
hopes are entertained that favorable crisis has
already been ey hibted
