Mr.. PAYNE of Ala. was excused from serving as
chairman of tho Committee on Elections.
Mr.. BARNARD of N. Y. moved anew to amend
the Journal He do sired that the Journal of yes
terday should correctly state the proceedings of the
House.
Mr.. DRoMGooLE of Va objected to the reception
of the resolution which proposed to amend the
Journal
Mr.. BARNARD said that he was fully prepared for
such movement as that which was now made by
the gentleman from Virginia. Ii did not at all snr-
prise him, though he confessed he was panied by it,
lie was only surprised that such movement had
not been made when he first offered his resolution
TO amend the journal, so that the majority might
have suppressed the whole matter at once. This
was a motion to amend the journal of the House
and it was an attempt to amend the journal of yes
terday, and not of any proceeding day. 1t was
motion which, he insisted was perfectly respectful
in its terms, inasmuch it simply proposed to
amend the Journal so that it should state question
which was taken yesterday by yeas and nays, in
such manner as that 1t would be ineligible :;
whereas, as the journal now stands that question
was altogether unintelgiBle. If that was not "a
respectful motion he did not know what was.
had acted upon this subject it could not be fairly
brought up again. was not respectful to the House to
do
Mr. j. r. IscEnsoLL, of Penn. continued the debate He
argued the question of great Importance that
fought to be and was discussed win view Of presenting
which the Wing members had signed and which they
sought incorporate upon the Journal was respectful to
the Hon gentlemen who claimed seats here Fortunately
great question like this could be discussed without
Election upon person. The minority sought only TO
meet q great constitutional principle.
MR ROBERT DALE OWEN continued the discussion He
would not allow that the minority had any regard
for the constitution than the majority, and he would not
admit that the minority had been unjusty dealt with by
the majority. Mr. o. argued the facts connected with he
journal since the organization to show that in his estima
ton the action of the House had been just to all parties
message received from the Senate announcing
the action of that body in reference to the Hon. f. Linn
The order of business interrupted by this message
and Mn BowLIN Of No. called for the reading of the
utons adopted They were read-when Mr.. b addressed
the House in eulogy upon the virtues of Dr. Linn
and concluded his remarks with the usual testimonials of
respect for the memory of the deceased
The House. without recurring again to the order of bu.
siness adj urned until tomorrow.
The unfinished business of yesterday left where IL
was and the question to amend the journal sus.

AFFAIRS BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND
MExrco.-We find in the National lntelligencer OF
yesterday long correspondence which was referred
to in the Presidents Message, between the govern
mcnts Of this country and Of Mexico in which the
latter has made itself very ridiculous The cor
respondence is lengthy too much so to publish at
this late hour, and we, therefore, take the annexed
from the Intelligencer which covers the whole
ground. We also give the reply of our minister in
Mexico to the foolish threat of that government.
