The New York Evening Post goes deci-
dedly against the annexation scheme, but
just as decidedly in favor of James X. Polk
for the Presidency. Alas! for the free
spirit of Bryant,

journ, and for a call of the house, and the
yeas and nays ordered on each motion al
before. In the midst of all this confusion
the voice of Mr.. Mcconnell was heard
with impious oaths upon his lips, and the
most insulting language addressed Il
members all around him.
Mr.. Saunders OF N. c., threatened to
turn him over to the Sergeant at Arms il
he did not preserve order. Would tina,
the House had done so. 1t would have
been. at least, one redeeming point of the
most disgraceful legislative meetings that
ever assembled within the walls of the
Capitol. But this member was permitted
to RON riot, and many seemed more ready
to give loose reins to his impious career
than to control him. The Whole legis-
lative body and the country was thus dis
graced.
But we will give no more Of these pain
full details. The conclusion of this days
proceedings is thus narrated by the same
correspondent -
At 20 minutes to 8 O'Clock, the last
motion was made to adjourn. and it pre-.
vailed by majority of about 10 in vote
OF 1856. Thus ended the last night session
of the first session Of the 2Sth Congress.

ty, to have been responsible for such leg

of drunkenness with wine by some, and with
passions by others, for all the combined

to bring in Join. Resolution to amend inc
Constitution Of the United States, in rela'
ton to the election Of President and Vice
President.
TExAs--PREsIDENT's MESSAGE TO THE
HOUSE.
Mr.. Benton called up on Thursday the
bill for the annexation of Texas.
Mr.. BIS object was to comment on Inc
late extraordinary message 10 the House.
He viewed il as an appeal from the Sen
ate TO the House. and an attempt TO create
popular excitement against the Senate
and in favor of treaty which was now
constitutionally defunct-a dead letter--a
blank piece Of paper. Yet this treaty
was communicated to the House. and the
President had undertaken 10 comment on
the reasons of the Senate, which ne had
no right TO know or speak OF.
Mr.. Benton then took up the message,
and reviewed it in a very severe manner.
He pointed out contradictions in the Pres
ident's argument and statements. He
alleged that the treaty was determined on
as miserable Presidential intrigue and
that the President then went in pursuit for
it.
The first reason was that it was neces-
rary in order to prevent the slaves from
being liberated and the Union thereby de.
stroyed. Af:er this negro-mania was qui-
eted, the President resorted to enolaer
reason-an alleged treaty OF alliance be.
tween Texas and Mexico. He ridiculed
both reasons as false and deceptive.
WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, JUNE IA.
The Senate, yesterday afternoon, laid
Mr.. Benton's bill concerning the annex
alton of Texas, on the table. by vote of
IS to go.
Mr.. Walker called up his resolution
calling lor information as to the act Of the
British Parliament for the punishment OF
the buying and selling of slaves. This
bill appears to have alarmed M. Walker
and his resolution seems to be a part of
what Mr.. Benton for want OF some other
name called "the negro hallucination."
The Senate rejected The motion FL to 20.
The naval appropriation bill was amen
ded and passed-the sections aboIishimg
the spirit rations, and prohibiting COR
poreal punishment, haze been struck out

In the House, the book resolution was
passed. This resolution gives $l58 900
OF books to new members. Mr. Winthrop
opposed the resolution, and moved the p.
@. which was ordered. A tremendous
row was raised-never was such lumult
seen. Every new member was anxious
to get his $500 worth of books, particu-
larly those who made the clamor. A
motion to lay on the table was lost. IS on

o. We can inform the gallant Commodore Of
the piratical Schooner Forward, in the service
of the United States, that two of the men I'D
chased and shot at, ale somewhere between this
place and Victoria's dominions. They have jus !
left US. One of them is young Baptist minis
ter by the name of Williams. The other may BID
known by the scar wreaths that cover his body
They were both the property" ofmen in North
ampton, Va. Not being content with chains and
slavery. they started with eleven others mot 6f1
teen] in a whaleboat, launched upon the broad
ocean, and the glad waves mi ght have borne them
all onward to the land of freedom but for the Wig
lance and activity of Commodore W ebster and his
brave band, who drove them 10 the shore. Wher
the others are we cannot tell. Perhaps under the
torture of the lash. The wives of these two men
are yet in bondage.
If slavery were not the supreme power of the
land, it might be asked, by ,chat authority Rev
venue Cutters are employed to be, or voluntarily
become, slave catchers.
