In addition to the very brief notice in our
paper yesterday. of the report of Mr. Fill
more from the committee of ways and means
that the Exchequer plan sought not to be a.
dopted," which was unanimous, written in
the n. Y. Tribune says, that there IS no sort
of probability or even possibility that any
such measure will receive the support of
considerable portion of any party in the
House at this Session. In the Senate its
chances are, if such thing be possible, still
worse. Not even the peculiar friends OF the
President-as they style themselves-hav
hitherto agreed with him upon this subject; ;
for Mr.. Gushing, who is the principal MEN,
Der of the Guard, at the last Session, as
Chairman of Select Committee chosen
from the Presidents friends, to whom the
Exchequer bill from the Treasury was re-
ferred, reported it back so much altered that
1t can only be considered as measure re-
sembling in very faint degree that meas
ure.
The Wings in Congress would much pre-
fer the original bill as sent from the Treas
ury, bu! there is no probability that either
will be adopted. So | have thought and
said all along, and so presume your read
ers think, by this time, whatever they may
have hitherto believed. The Locos object
TO both plans because they contain too many
of the qualities of U. S. Bank; the Wings
because they have too much of the charac-
ter ofthe Sub Treasury; and 1.-THE Guard"
prefer their own modification.
In relation to Mr.. Bolts movement 10
impeach President Tyler, we copy from the
Tribune's report the following passages:
Mr.. Bolts said he proposed to introduce
to the consideration of the House charges of
corruption, high criminal misdemeauor
committed by the acting President of the
United States, which he stood prepared 10
prove by testimony most conclusive and IT.
resistibe, and to ask this House TO appoint
a committee to inquire into the truth fthese
charges. and TO report the testimony brought
forward 10 sustain them, to this House with
their opinion whether any further action
should be had thereon. He stood prepared
on solemn deliberation TO prove every charge
he had made, and he not only asked but de-
manded of this House as its humblest men,
Der, TO consider them. Ii was a constItu-
tional question of the highest and gravest
character.
Some points of order being raised, at the
Gail vi w iSO iHC oiiSICo vi
ment were read by Mr.. Bolts, being very
much the same as he proposed at the last
session Charging John Tyler, Vice oresi- /,
dent of the United States and acting Presi- +
dent, with the high crimes and misdemean- /
ors of gross usurpation of power and vio- J
lation of law in attempting 10 exercise a
controlling influence over accounting off, ,
GERS in the Treasury Department by ORDER
ing payments Of accounts that had been re-
iectei and thereby drawing thousands from !,
the Treasury without authority Of law; with
d wicked and corrupt use of the power of
appointment 10 and removal from office, of
he veto power, &c. &c.)
The Speaker desided the question 10 be
4 privileged question and therefore in order,
and Mr.. Bolts again proceeded.
He said he had taken the step reluctantly,
lnder most painful and imperative sense
If Constitutional obligation, and he desired Z
o connect no mans fate with his on ms ,
question. re he failed to establish the truth ,
# his charges, he asked TO bear all the re- d,
let it fall on him and no other
nan, friend or foe, Wing or Democrat.
Mr.. B. offered a,resolution providing for
he appointment of Select Committee of
inc Members, with instructions diligently
0 enquire into the truth OF the charges pre- e
