congressional Proceedings-State OF the
Co"htry-Condact OF the Wings,
The morning business of the Senate has been OF
40 pubhc importance The Indian Appropriation
bin was reported from the Committee on Finance,
by Mr. Evans. Several petitions and memorials
were presented, and MIR. Bsgby attempted unsuc-
cessfuy to get up his resoi1tion, calling for infor
nation respecting large sum of money alleged TO
nave been paid TO the Cherokee Chief John Ross.
The bill compromising the Massachusetts, Militia
was the regular order, and it is now undergoing the
Sule4t of all possible discussions.
in the House this morning, Mr.. Adams, from the
'.elect Committee on Apportionment Bill, reported
a resolution calling on the Secretary of State for the
original OF the President for signingth
| row lodged in the State Department. -e pii'
and Mr.. Profit objected to the - -ar oushins
paper as unusual and irregr' al Tor the original
! s,,;o, ~ ,,,;s ro;n, --ar After some CONVEX
49, uaaol,,,;a, motion was made to amend
"a aon,. :, oy inserting the words " suthentica
~. ~ instead of original Upon this the ayes
lid nays were called, and the motion prevailed
ayesO, noes Sail the ultra wings voting against
the amendment-;he democrats going with the adj
mlnlstratlon men, and the few moderate wings
uniting with Them Thisis almost the first triumph
on vote which the administration has achieved
Its friends have lost nothing in debate on the floor
but they have always been voted down, with re-
morseless indifference TO the merits of the question
But different state of things is now existing and
this the first overt unquestionable evidence of the
fact
The resolution as amended. was adopted without
opposition. The subject of the veto then came m
Mr.. Smith, Of Virginia, being entitled to the floor
1 debate cd infor
ygor-the wings assailing and the democrats de-
tending President Tyler and his administration.
Ny. Morgan, of New York is apparently seeking
| the floor tor The purpose OF moving the previous
question, but II will not be sustained some twenty
members still wanting TO speak. So far, although
there has been much excitement, vast deal of mis-
representation and some severity of language there
has been less violence and less personal abuse than
might have been anticipated, considering the ardent
temperament OF some of the speakers. There will
be indecency and abuse enough, however, before
the debate closes Several of tho most ultra of the
wings are struggling for the floor, with the determ-
nation OF pouring out all their wrath upon the lead
| of Mr.. Tyler.
| Affairs continue in the most extraordinary condi-
on here and Is important that the people should
understand the actual state of facts The wings all
insist that there is existing law under which reve-
nue. can be collected-that mposts of all kinds must
come in free of duty until Congress shall enact a
law prescribing the amount and mode of Lowing and
collecting This they assert most peremptorily and
| with perfect unanmly. Now what is their duty
under this alarming state of things! With majo-
rlty IN both houses of Congress sufficient to give
them absolute control of business they resist every
attempt made to obvate the evil which thew them
selves alege TO exist.
