WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE
OF THE ATLAS.
WASHINGTON. April 10, lS4

WASHINGTON, hpTll III, lo4O-
The extraordinary proceedings of yester-
day, in the House Of Representatives, will
be long remembered by those who were
present. Mr.. c. J. Ingersoll, ofhis own ac-
cord on the 9Ih February last, dragged into
the Oregon discussion. a series Of charges
and caIumnies against Mr.. Webster, entirely
foreign 10 The whole question, for the evi-
dent purpose OF traducing the character oil
that distinguished man before the country
so far as the influence of one of such i'm
paired personal and political reputation
could accomplish it. There was a marked
malice, vindictive purpose, in that 'ebul-
Iilion,' which, so far as the public are con-
cerned, seems unredeemed by one worthy
unsuitable motive. Itemanated from heart
which hates all that towers above it, either
in intellect estimation or virtue-and which
has no sympathy in common with mankind.
For wears past Mr.. Ingersoll has embodied
every characteristic of Thersites, and i'll
creasing acc adds only TO the bitterness Of
an unsalisiied ambition, and the enmiiy OF q
nature which has perverted its BEST ana high
est attributes.
When MIR. Webster had occasion 10 re-
buke the SANDERS which Mr. Dickinson, Of
New York had Intentionally Incorporated
mo his iu8tt~tiNu TIC lOOh iilG OPP
poriuniiy of vindicating himself in manner
of which this nation may be Justly proud.
He met every accusation, as man of honor
and truth and courage should have done.
He pronounced each and every one false
and contemplate, and he stigmdtised their
author as indignant justice prompted. MIR.
Ingersoll was informed. by public and Pri-
vale representations, of this memorable vim
dication. Did he, as a man Of good faith,
integrity and veracity, come forward TO PrOre
his allegations, or even furnish pretence
that the ready plausbility of his party might
sanction? NO--like Il cowardly calumnia-
tor, he sneaked behind his charges. He well
knew that Locofocoism required no other
testimony than the mere assertion of one oc-
cupying his icticious position. and he aban-
doned what he had been bold and reckless
enough 10 declare he could substantate,
upon the highest authority Like his par
ty, whenever driven 10 the wall, either upon
principles or pretexts, he was found retreat
ing from what every honorable & decent man
would have sought-ihe test of truth. He
knew he had falsifed to the public. and he
dared not hold up his offensive ISLANDERS for
investigation.
But what did he do? He planned new
calumnies. By his facilities with the depart
menf Of Stale, he was permitted 10 ransack
the sacred and secret archives, under the
connivance offs actual or acting head; aud.
