asked leave to offer resolution fixing the / lth
day OF July next as the day for tn, final ad-
journment Of the present session
Mr. UNDERWOOD observed that there was evi-
IDENTITY no disposition to adopt such a resolution,
and the idea OF urging it had better be given up .
Nothing farther was done with it,
The bill for Incorporating the National Insn-
tutc, after an Intellectual attempt to lay it on the
table, was passed by vote of l05 to 66.
A bill which authorizes the clergy OF the city
to unite people in marriage in any part Of the
District, was passed-its title being changed,
on the motion of Mr.. Weller 30 as TO read, "a
till TO regulate the solemnization of marriage
The bill to incorporate the manual labor

with but little difficulty.
The consideration of the bill to amend the
charter of Alexandra was resumed

poses TO allow every male white citizen who
shall have resided one year in THAT city to vote

Mr. CAMPBELL, Of South Carolina, moved to

atlved by a vote of 50 to 81.

COMMUNICATED.
MIR. MANGUM'S ELECTION.

Mr. EDITOR: writer in the National Intelligent
Ger of yesterday morning, signing himself One who
was present. says that the Madisonan asserted
that Gin the election for President pro tenn. Mr..
Mangum voted for himself !" and them with the au-
thority of a magistrate" hereby don--gives the
remark of his own invention a direct contradic-
ton" He then goes on, in the usual style OF the in
dividual whom he defends, and speaks about Greek
less assertions and suspects that this calumny
comes from quarter more responsible, and less apt
to be avowed than the ostensibe editor of the Nad
sonian.n Now, the communication to which One
who was present" objects so authorize lively and posi-
lively, made direct remark with reference to Mr..
Mangum's election but only supposed it highly
probable that he voted for himself from the fact that
the blank which was thrown the first ballot and
filled up on the second, made precisely the requisite
number to elevate the man whose selection the Intel
ligencer is willing to consider " mark of the re-
spect entertained by the Senate for the old North
State, to that station which Mr.. Buchanan conceived
to be one of dignifed rerement-a cessation from
| the tolls Of the Committees on Printing and Naval
| Affairs" But as to who voted for or against MIR
| Mangum, the public will probably never know yet
that be was elected by tight squeezing is quite GER
tain. One thing looks strange-therc were, on the
first ballot, but fifteen votes out of the twenty-ont
Democratic, in the Senate, cast for members OF tina
party. 1t may be that the rest voted for MIR Bayard
as they could not elect gentleman of their own bias
conceivng him to be more competent than the IRE
sent incumbent to discharge the duties of the chair
In relation to the Quarter" from which the calm'
ny" comes, the defender of Mr., Mangum is quit
mistaken in his conclusions and beg leave to assure
him that il is not "more responsible" than the os
tensible editor Of the Madisonan," but less so
: incidentally.

THE FAIR-THE "APOLLO ASSOCIA-
TON"

On Wednesday evening the Apollo Hall presented
quite lively appearance. The Fair of the " Aim
well Society" on the first floor, drew numbers of be-
nevoIen persons together while the concert Of tn c
Apollo Association" given in the Hall above, at
tracted large concouee ofthe elite Of the city. This
was the first attempt of the Association and, as the
tickets of admission were limited to the friends of the
members, 1t can hardly be termed public concert,
and the performances were not open to criticism
The gees generally, were sung with good effect, and
elected much applause from discriminating audience
Among them were several productions of Mr.. Hewitt
under whose direction the whole affair appeared r.
be. The object of the Association is TO cultivate
knowledge ofthat species Of music denominated gless
and we sincerely hope the Society may meet with
encouragement sufficient to induce them to establish
themselves on permanent footing. We need some
thing of the kind in Washington, and we are conf
dent there plenty of talent among our musical anna
teurs to insure rich treat those who feel dspose,
to contribute in pecuniary way.

FROM OREGON.
Extract of letter dated at Willammet, Oregon
Territory, Feb. 10, l84l.

Territory, Feb 10, l84l.
Communicated for the National htcIHgenccr.
will now tell you something Of the peo-
pie Of this country. There are about Sc
twenty-five 10 eighty French Canadians set
tied in this country, principally discharged
from the service Of the HUDSON Bay Com
pany; there are also about fifty Americans
settled in and alb )ut this country; making,
perhaps, one hundred and twenty-five to
one hundred and thirty male inhabitants.
who are married to Indian women. They
raise from their farms, on an average, from
three 10 five hundred, and some from ten
to twelve hundred, bushels Of wheat, be-
sides great quantities Of pease, potatoes
oats. barley, corn, &c. The Hudson Bay
Company have in their employ at Fort
Vancouver about one hundred and twenty
five persons, and many in several other
forts both sides Of the Rocky Mountains.
These people, as said before, are married
TO Indian women, and live very much the
same, in all respects, as our farmers at
home, with the exception Of not being OBJ
liged to labor half as much; they general
" have from fifty 10 one hundred head Of
horses, half as many COWS, and about the
same number of hogs; these all take care
of themselves. The people here cut no
hay and make no pastures; they do not
give their hogs any feed excepting for
about month before they kill them
There is one church here, and the people
have contracted for brick church and
other buildings necessary, such as school
house for the French and one for the Am
orleans. The French have one priest
here. and one at Fort Vancouver. The
Americans generally attend at the mission,
and, as far us can see, the people here
are as well behaved and moral as in our
town. We have now a committee at work
draugh,ng a constitution and code Of laws;
have in nomination governor, an attor-
nev general, three justices Of the peace,
&c; overseers of the poor, road commits
sioners, &c. We have already chosen a
supreme Judge with probate powers clerk
of the court and recorder, a high sheriff,
and three constables; so that you see we
are in a fair way Of starting a rival repub-
lie on this side of the Mountains, especial
w as we are constantly receiving recruits
those people whose time has expired
with the Hudson Bay Company and from
the Mountain hunters coming down to set
tie.

WASHINGTON, Wednesday, Jan. 18th.
c In the Senate, to-day, several petitions
&ere offered against the repeal of the
Bankrupt Act Mr.. Calhoun sympathised
with those who were suffering from the
consequence Of bad legislation, and the ex-
cesses Of tho paper system, but he could
not support this law because ii wac uncon-
stitutiona, being an In olvent Law instead
of Bankrupt Law. Mr.. Clay made a
few remarks on the subject, from which it
appeared that he was in favor of carrying
the law into execution, but had some fears
Of its repeal, in consequence of the dispo-
sition manifested towards it, here and in
the other House.
But all fears Of the repeal Of this bill,
nre, in my opinion, idle. There is scarce
ly time TO carry bill through both Hou-
scs before the 1st of February. There is
no knowing when 1t can be got up in the
House. The Senate, though in favor Of
postronement, may not 60 for repeal, and
the President may veto it. Taking all the e
chances into consideration, a repeal will
be very difficult.

TEMPERANCE REFORM IN CHlcAGo.-
One hundred names were added to the
:" Reformed Drunkards' Society,"" on Sa-
turday last, embracing some Of the most
influential men in our city, and, what is
better. some who were leading life of
wretched dissipation. There are many
others in this city whose only salvation
consists in joining this society and that
forthwith. Their duty to their family (to
say nothing of their God and their coun,
try) demands this course.
Stop, poor drunkards, stop and think,
Before you further go.-Chicago Democrat.

LATEST FROM TExAs-The steamer Neptune
arrived from Texas yesterday. The news is not
important. The President had appointed Francis
A. Morris Attorney General of the Republic Pre-
sdent Houston was Inaugurated on the 18th ult.-
His message was received the same day, but we
received no copy Capt. Mccullough, with nine
teen men, from Gonzales, recently encountered the
spies of the Waco Indians near the mouth of the
LIano, killing two and dispensing the remainder.
The details of the Convention between Great
Britain and Texas, are published in the Texas
papers.
Resolutions had been reported impeaching the
late President Lama Vice PresId ent Burnett, and
the Secretary of the Treasury, DIR. Chalmers. The
vote was taken on each of the three cases in the
House of Representatives, and rejected by 20
TO l3.
The steamboat Albert Gallatin, one of the reg
uar packets between Galveston and Houston, was
totally DESTROYED on the 2Ist ult. The Galvesto-
Man states that she running at her ordinary
rate, when all of sudden her larboard boiler
burst, making a complete wreck of the boat, and
destroying the lives of four individuals board
and wounding ten others.
The Committee in the House of Representatives
appointed for the purpose of investigating the Santa
Fe Expedition, have reported that more than
$500, 600 had been expended during the last year
contrary to law; and this estimate does not include
the value of the military stores, &c. furnished the
troops engaged in the Expedition.
The Galveston correspondent of the New Or
leans Bulletin says: "The report of the capture
of our Santa Fe Expedition has produced great
excitement throughout the country. Many are
anxious to get up an expedition Immediately and
march to Mexico to rescue our citizens, if alive
and if not to avenge their death. If the Mexcans
have put to death person of the Expedition,
they may prepare themselves to see Mexican blood
flow for it.-TN Q. Pic. Jan. |.

sale or pEcdge of these Notes by the Treasury or
other Departments for the purpose OF raising spe-
Gle or funds and providing that they shall only be
issued IN favor of the creditor OF the Government.
MIR. Gamble of GA. in apracucal common-sense
sneecb EXPRESSED his intention to vote tor this BILL
70 snnnv the temporary wants of the Treasury, and
relieve its suffering creditors limited as it was in
IT'S oneration to the time when loan should be eff
fected which was the good cid fashioned way, far
preferable on which If little time were allowed
for ehecting it, money could be obtained probably
for six or even five per cent.
Mr. Fessenden took similar grounds in relation
to the bill, and a loan, and adverted to the &C.
knowedged fact of deficiency in the revenue, and
the necessity of measures for its supply; yet when
the constitutional and only mode for this purpose
by tariif-was spoken of, gentlemen sounded
the alarm If rights and liberties OF the country
were in danger He asked these gentlemen if 1t
was not time to adopt some plan for revenue, and
not continue the miserable relief from Treasury
Notes, that had been pursued by Van Buren's Ad-
mnistration.
Mr.. Dean of Ohio, spoke about an hour and a
half in opposition the bill, but protesting willing
ness to support it, the provlso for its termna-
ton struck out On this point portion of the
Locos hang their opposition to this, their formerly
favorite measure, and attempt pretext for with
holding supplies from the Treasury.
Mr.. J. G. Floyd took the floor and after two
three calls of Yeas and Nays, motion for adj
tournament, points of order, &c, the House adj
jouTned
