ENLA REGIMENT.

Ii Is Low more than a year since VIC COM
menced the publication OF the Peoples Press
during which time, We have enlarged lis Limits,
doubled the amount of matter, given finer
dress, and by great personal sacrifices, obtnin.
ed for II general circulation through this
section of country. To all this we would add
our hope. that our constant zeal and uniiIing
efforts to inculcate the true democratic policy
of the wing party upon the public mind, has
been attended with convincing influence.
Still we find no truce for patriotic effort for
the security of the country from the rcstire
spirit Of Locofocoism. The enemy is already
on The qui rire for the next political campaign
in Vermont. The dissentions among the
wings have re-enkindled the tagging energies
ofthis common foe, and the party is deiermin-
cd next fall 10 make grand rally upon the bal
lot boxes. in The full assurance of ultimate tri
umph.
TO meet those furious assaults of the most
unPrinciPled faction that ever disgraced free
country, we propose TO enlarge our sheet 10
size which shall command more general cir
culation. Within a few weeks, Providence
permitting, our paper will expand TO the size
offhe National lnteligencer, if not larger, af.
fording room for greater variety of matter,
and as much reading as most of our readers
can well attend to. Whether we shall perse.
verc in our enlargement. will depend upon the
we may receive from the wing
party through the country. TO justify tho i'm
provement we contemplate, we must add at
least three hundred TO our present list of sub
scribers. We believe no true wing will hest
tate to meet This appeal with patriotic spirit,
or be slow TO comprehend, that for trflIng tax
for his own advantage, he will contribute to
sustain in triumph the just principles of whig
policy, which alone can ensure the permanent,
Of the country.

Thursday, May 9Th
In the House, on Thursday, Mr.. Andrews,
of Ohio, introduced the Hon. ]. R. Giddings,
recently e.elected a representative of that
State, who was qualified and took his seat.
A message was received from the Sepate,
stating they had passed the Appropriation bill,
with various amendments, in which the con-
currence of the House was requested.
Mr.. Fillmore said that as the amendments
were important, it was obvious that they could
not be acted upon to-day; and on his motion
the bill and amendments were referred to the
Committee Of Ways and Means and ordered
to be printed.
Mr.. Habersham, from the Committee on
Manufactures, made minority report in rela-
ton to the Tariff.
Mr.. Saltons,a!l--gavc notice that he would
next week. at the earliest opportunity, call for
the consideration of the subject.
In the Senate, Mr.. Woodbury. submitted a
resolution (which lies over that until other
wise ordered. the daily hour Of meeting shall
be eleven o'clock.
On the motion of Mr.. Mangum, the Senate
then adjourned over 10 Monday next, for the
reason alleged; that the Chamber needed some
purification.'

Correspondence of the Atlas.

Friday May 9Th:
The universal opinion in Washington is
that Mr.. Poindexter's report is false and a.
bominable attack upon the Lawrences, and
that he was BRIBED to make it by the forei gn
importers. 1t is well known here, that the re-
port is not Mr.. P's work, but was prepared by
a Mr.. Bright, whose reputation is not the best
in the world. The attack will injure only those
who are engaged IN thisvile conspiracy against
the reputation of the purest men in the coun-
try. The report is altogether SO one-sided that
it completely fails of its object.

The tariff question has not yet come up.
perceive that Congress is blamed in some
quarters for not having taken up this subject
before. The fact is that Congress is waiting
for the report and bill TO be furnished by the
Secretary of The Treasury, and until these
come nothing can be done.
Nothing was done in either branch to-day.
The Senate met and Immediately adjourned to
Monday next. The House, after receiv ing
the appropriation Bill from the'Senatc, &C.
cupied some time in taking the yeas and nays
upon the question of adjourning. and finally,
after some opposition, succeeded in. following
the example of the. Senate.

The Two CONSTITUTIONS. A friend has

of Rhode Island. We have looked over them
with care. and find that there is bu, little diff.

the other. by the Peoples Constitution, no
person, unless he is possessed of propertv to

town or city. The same is in the freeholdcrs'
constitution. The qualifications required of

the exception OF the above, essentially the same
