~ Congress adjourned on the ais, u!t
From comparison made by the Nationa
lntelIigencor although the session just
closed is the longest ever held in the
country BY 40 days, yet the amount
OF business attended to will bear com.
parison with other sessions. At the SC.
coud long session under Mr.. Van Buren,,
which lasted 220 days, there were
Reports made Balsreported Bills pssd. the House
,l6 sci 2l
a, the present session there were
Reports made Bills reported Bills passed
l,096 Clio 300
In addition to these there are q number
Of private bills in the House which have
been engrossed aud are ready for their final
passage, and most OF which would have
passed ii the Senate could have acted on
them, aud which were purposely retained
by the House, which will place them IN
better situation for being attended 10 at
the next session. la addition, numerous
JOINT resolutions have also been passed..
When il is remembered that considera-
bic part Of the time Of the House was con.
suuled in the discussion Of Executive We
toes, and a Protest, the result Of the com
parison is that this Congress has done
more important business than any Con.
gress which has ever convened since the
formation Of the Government.
Mr.. TYLER EFFEcTUALLY HEADED,
We have given in preceding columns
Mr.. Tyler's protest to the House Of Repre-
sentatlyes on their proceedings relative 10
his Veto Of the Tariff bill. The whole
course Of his Accidency seems to be to
show how Inconsistent he can act. There
is upon record but one other document of
the same character tGen. Jackson's pro-
test against the Seaate) and Mr.. Tyler,
eplae.aas memher Of tho Senate at the
time was one Of its ioudest dcnouncers, de.
olaring the proceeding altogether high.
handed aud unwarrantabe. Mr.. Bolts,
who is ever ready to expose the trucking
inconsistency of Mr.. Tyler, refers TO the
following resolutions adopted by the SEN
ate in s34 after d long and elaborate dis.
cussion Of the matter, and also quotes
largely from Speech made BY Mr.. Web.
ster u, the same time:
J. Rcsclced, That while Ire seunte is and cv.
cr viii be randy to receive from the President all
such mess ges and communications as the con.
s,iiution and laws and the usual course Of bust.
ness authorize him 10 transmit TO il. yet il cannot
recognize any right in him to make formal pro-
test against votes aud proceedings in the Senate,
declaring such votes and proceedings TO be lille.
gal and Unconstitutional, and requesting HE Sen.
ate TO enter such protest on It's journal.
On this resolution the yeas and nays were IA.
ken, aud il was adopted By a vote of % TO lG
Ond among The recorded votes in It's favor stood
the name Of John Tyler, now acting President
OF tho United States, and Daniel Webster, now
bis prime minister.
The second resolution was ms follows:
g Rcsoleed That tie aforesaid protest is |
breach Of The privileges Of the Senate, and that it
be not entered Gu the Journal.
The same vote, numerically, was given in ia. !
vor Of this resolution and among the yeas stood
the name Of john Tyler, now acting President
Ut the United States, and or Daniel Webster, now
bis primo minister
The third resolution read as follows.
,. Resolrcd, That the President Of tho United .
States has no right 10 send protest TO the Sen. |
ale against any Of its proceedings.
Aud in sanction OF this resolution also tho 70.
cord showed the names OF the same John Tyler .
aud Daniel Webster.
Mr. went on TO shy that it was not often
that he was driven to the necessity Of adopting
the sentiments OF others instead of giving expires.
sion 20 hts own he was in the habit of thinking,
Of speaking, and acting for HIMSELF but on this
OCCASION he should adopt few extracts of the
speech Of gentleman whom, whatever opinion
lie might hold concerning certain parts Of his pub
lie course. ho never had hesitated to admit TO be
the ablest Of ursts and the soundsst OF consti,u.
tonal lawyers Never were words more applica-
bio to the very case now before the house. This
mastery speech tof Mr.. Webster) would be found
in the 10th volume Of Gales s. Seaton's Congres.
SIGNAL Debates, page 60.
Mr., President, know not who wrote this
protest, but confess am astonished, truly as.
tonishcd, as well at the want Of knowledge which
ii displays Of constitutional law, as at the high
and dangerous pretensions which il puts forth
Neither branch af the Legislature can express
censure upon tho Presidents conduct Suppose.
sir, that we should SEQ him enlisting troops and
raising an army can we shy nothing, aud do
nothingl Suppose he were 60 declare war a.
painst foreign power, and put the army md the \
fleet in action are we still TO be silent Sup
pose We should see him borrowing money on the
credit of the United States are we yet to wait
for impeachment Indeed, sir in regard TO this
borrowing money on the credit of the United
States, wish to call tho attention of the Senate
not only to what might happen. but TO what has
actually happened, We are informed that the
Post Office Department, a department over which
tho President claims the same control as over tho
rest. has actually borrowed near half million
Of money on the credit of the United States"
Nor do | know, said Mr., Bolts, who wrote
