"a CARD"

Under the above caption, in the Green
Mountain Freeman Of April 23d, appears
an article from the inexhaustible pen Of
R. V. Marsh Esq in which the writer
asserts that l have told an untruth in an
article relating 10 a controversy between
him and Mr.. Holcomb. l should not
have noticed him at this time and in this
manner, but, 81 think the of truth
and justice demand it." The reader
will agree with me, that"it was %unfortu.
nate for" the lawyer "that he had forgot
ten, when he made that statement" the

the resolution in The following

adopt the resolution in the following
form:
With a view, therefore, that steps be
taken for the abrogation of the said con-
v%ention OF the sixth of August. eighteen
hundred and twenty-seven, in The mode
prescribed in its second article, and that the
attention OF The governments Of both coun'
tries may be more earnestly and immedi.
ately directed 10 the adoption of all prop
er measures for a speedy and amicable
adjustment of the difficulties and disputes
in respect to said territory
Resolved By The Senate and House Of
Representatives. of the United States Of
America IN Cong ress assembled, That the
President Of the Uni ed States be, and he
is hereby authorized, at his discretion, TO
give 10 the British Government the notice
required by its said second article for the
abrogation of the said convention of the
sixth of August, eighteen hundred and
twenty.seven.
Mr.. Allen said that the result Of the la
bors of the committee, if he understood
the resolution correctly, was 10 restore in
substance. with a slight change in words,
the preamble and resolution as they ori>
ginally passed the Senate. He should
therefore be obliged TO vote against the re-
port, for reasons which he had given on
a former occasion.
After some conversation, in conse.
quence of The absence OF Senators, the con-
sideration of the report was postponed un-
I'll | o'clock.
The question was then taken and the
report of the committee concurfed in, as
follows: ayes AZ, nays 10.
Ia the House, Mr.. Ingersoll, from the
committee on conference, announced that
the committee had unanimously agreed TO
report, and that it would be made known
by a message from the Senate.
The bill TO establish the Smithsonian
Institute was taken up in Committee of the
whole, aud Mr.. Marsh, OF Vermont, made
a sensible and learned speech on the sub
ject.
A message from the Senate was then
received, announcing that the Senate mad
concurred in the report of the committee
on conference on the Oregon notice.
The previous question was moved and
carried by storm.
Mr.. Gentry, amidst a general uproar,
insisted on asking one question.
He was called to order. no debate being
allowed. He nevertheless did ask the
chairman what was the difference between
the report and The original Senate resOIu>
tons?
