There was an exciting debate in the Senate
this morning, on the bill for the reception of the
$4,000 of the avails OF the Land Fund, which
has been suffered to lie SO long dormant in the
Golfers of the Commercial Bank of this City,
Judge BoKEE, who never allows his toes to be
trod upon with impunity, had quite set-to with
my friend Judge WRIGHT Of Schoharie. The
latter is for spurning the bribe"-how afraid
these Loco. Focos are of being bought up but
the former is for receiving this moiety and ap.
propriating it towards the purposes of Education.
Senator FOSTER, too, has changed front since
last year, and is now for taking the money. The
Keeper OF the " Pons Asinorum" was of course
conspicuous in his opposition to this bill He
(STErHsN c. JOHNSON aforesaid) discovered that
the reception of this money would have ten
dency to foster High Protective Tariff A
wise man, that Mr.. JOHNSON! He will certainly
one day obtain patent for his discoveries He
has my certificate, most willingly, that they are
entirely original. The Senator came out at
much length, in denunciaton Of the Tariff, but
for sketch of his remarks refer you to the ed-
torlals of :" The Pebeian.' He wound up by
pronounclng every man who voted for this bill as
no better than a Wing! This brought out the
newly elected Senator CLARK, who was afraid of
the effects of Senator JoHNsoNs Philippcs against
the Tariff. He told him that if he should 90 to
the People, and preach such doctrines on the sub
ject of the Tariff, there would be majority of
Fifty thousand against "the Democracy"

of sifnfe elligence3 between ihe largo cities
would amply repay The expenditure.
,Therewas alsoa memorial from Cecil
CO.. Maryland, asking lhatlbes President
himself may be annexed To- Texas. Such
paper:ought not to have been received,
for whatever maybe the stale Of feeling
of certain Senators towards Mr. Tyler as
man, they ought 10 remember that ~. his
official capacity he is the representative of
the collective dignity Of the Union.
Afier the disposal of a mass Of private
business, The Senate al an early hour went
into executive session on the Texas treaty.
In the House, the consideration Of the
general Appropriation bill was resumed
in Committee: Of The Whole. The debate,
which was Of political, character, was
Terminated at twelve o'clock, when the
Committee proceeded TO vote on some
scores of proposed amendments.
An amendment being proposed for the
insertion of $4,000 for the purchase Of
furniture for the Presidents House, ME-.
Duncan moved further to amend by pro.
vidine that NO part oflhat sum shall be
expended for the purchase Of wine or any
other liquor for the Presidents cellar.
After some worry noisy proceedings, the
original motion was agreed TO with this
amendment. Mr. Duncan was understood
TO say he had been credibiy informed that
formerly portion oflhe money had been
so applied.
Mr.. King moved to amend by author.
iziue the Secretary Of the Treasury 10 sell
The Presidents House, together with The
furniture and lhe adjacent gargens.
This was ruled out Of order.
A, late.hour, the Committee rose and
reported. whereon the House adjourned.
The bill will be disposed Of Tomorrow,
and seni,to the Senate.
When Mr.. Ingersoll introduces his joint
resolution for the annexation of Texas, it
is supposed the vote will lie taken under
the previous question. As for debate at
this late period Of the session, it is out of
the question.
Tie session having been limiied toihe
18th, a great mass Of important business
must necessarily be left undisFosed of.
The bill 10 re-charer The Banks Of this
District, is now given up. As the present
charters expire in July, we shall again be
flooded with individual notes.
