WIsE-f hope the gentleman will withdraw that,
Sir. / have a resolution TO instruct the commluee
to report the condition OF the finances ana the
means to supply the wants OF the Government and
the deficiency in the Treasury for the present year
The previous question was called, and Fillmores
motion was carried.
WISE moved a reconsideration. He had asked
the gentleman the other day whether he believed
the statements of the Secretary OF the Treasury,
and he had evaded the question. He has since tod
me he did not agree with the Secretary.
FILLMoRB-We were waiting for an answer from
the Secretary. l could not have SO answered the
gentleman.
WBE--Sir-I know this is the age of Mesmerism,
and the rage Of Millerism.
ARNoLD-Yes, and the age of Tylerlsm-unfortu-
nately-(Roars of laughter.)
WIsE-But was under no such influence them
And now at the last hour of the last session the
gentleman says he does not know-he has not made
up his mind whetherthe Secretary's calculations
right or not
FiLLMoRE-I have no means of showing he's in
error.
WIsE-Do you believe his data is correct
FILIMoRE-Ive no means TO prove 1t is incor-
rect; and l believe the Secretary is an honest
man.
Borrs-I. ask, Sir, if it's in order to pole the
members of the Committee to get their private OPT

WIsK-The gentleman says he has no opinion al
all at this late hour And if he had, why he has
not done his duty and brought forward some plan to
meet the deficiency which there will be in the Trea
sury. But the gentleman the other day told me he
differed with the Secretary.
FLLMoRK-Sir, Ideny it.
WIss-Sir, by all that's sacred, he did say it.
Fn.LMoRE-I did not. IT is not true.
WIsE-Sir, repeat my words, that he did SO.
SrEAKER-Order, order.
Great excitement, and cries of order' in the
House.
ment, I'll ask him, does he believe the Secretary?
WlsE-Sir, that's not question. (Roars of
laughter
don't believe the Secretarys statements. Now
will the gentleman answer me plainly?
WIsE-No, sir. And now, gentlemen, you can
laugh. believe his statements are based on san
dy foundation.
ARNoLD-Oh, yes, he's lying rascal, suppose ?
WIsE-Sir, | dread called session much as
any man, as curse to the country. But If there
should be called session, it is evident the Commit
tee OF Ways and Means mean to throw all the obi
um of it on the Executive.
FILLMoRE.-Sr, thought the gentleman's re-
marks the other day were intended to pave the way
for called session, and to throw the odium the
present Congress. In my late remaks, did not in
tend to wound the gentleman's feelings, but meant
to set myself right with the country If in the haste
OF the moment did it in way that was offensive, l
regret it. That's all have to say about it, sir /
was right in the NATTER but perhaps the manner did
not become me.
WIsE.-Sir, ] say that no man shall get up here,
and fatty deny the truth of what say and then
say he meant nothing by it without answering it..
And let any man attempt to do so, and he shall
answer it as he may be able. Let it rest with the
word between that gentleman and myself, contra
dlcted as | am. Sir, he did say what l attribute
to him, and will maintain it by every ordeal on
Gods earth.
WISE then sat down, and the House adjourned.
So this has been busting day. There is also a
talk between Col. Henderson and Col. Freeman of
the Marine Corps.
1t is rumored that Mr.. Webster leaves the
Cabinet and takes the lead of the great assumption
party. And that Gushing takes his place Mr.. w.
gave most brilliant party tonight.
