MISUNDERSTANDING

News from Vera Cruz down to the 23d utimo,
was received last night at the Department Of State
Amonte had resigned the Office Of minister Of war,
and Tornel had been appointed his successor. Luz
cas- Aaman, the editor of the new royalist journal
at Mexico, (the Tiempo,) had been compelled by
public indignation 10 fly from the city, his life being
IN danger, and his paper had been pronounced sedi-
tous. Since the royalist party had taken open
ground in favor of monarchy, the Mexican people
have become much better inclined towards the Uni
ted States. Upon the whole, our affairs with Mexi-
co were assuming more hopeful aspect.

Men draw opposite conclusions from the same
premises. Some Of our friends contend that the
position Of affairs is very much altered since the
date Of the Presidents message; and that because the
British premier adopts more concatory language
towards us, Officially there has certainly been no
change,) and the signs in England are more favora-
BILE to compromise and peace, therefore, we oughtto
abandon the measures recommended in the message,
and forbear giving the notice tall. Now, is not
the directly opposite conclusion the true one---that
because the message has induced favorable change
in the tone of England, therefore we should
adhere to the measures of the message, and carry
out the notice. and that il forbear now to adopt
the measure, England will return to her former
tone, continue the joint occupation Of the country,
which is much to her own benefit, and care moth
ing for presidential messages or popular COM

THE INVESTIGATION.

Mr.. Benton presented and read this day to the
Senate of the United States the report Of the select
committee appointed to inquire into the charges
made and reiterated by the Washington Times"
The report thoroughly exonerates the members Of
the Senate from all mputatons. Not one Of the
charges is supported--not title Of satisfactory
evidence is urged in their support The whole ac-
cusaton consisted Of idle rumors, groundess suspi-
cions, and declarations ascribed to witnesses, who
were the first to contradict the assertions which
we're imputed to them, and to express their amaze
ment that such charges were said to have emanated
from them. We are astonished that such charges
should have been madc--that any consequence
should ever have been attached to them. II will
teach the public, however, one salutary lcssonand
that is, to beware how they receive as true any
Of the humbugs of the day, however boldly assert
ed, or however strongly reiterated aes. ..i.s
We are sure il is unnecessary for US to vindicate
the character Of Mr. Colquitt. Il stands too high
to be affected by any squib IN newspaper. ,:E

That, in entering upon the execution Of their d,,.
ties as prescribed in the order Of their appointment
the committee believed that their researches were 10
be directed TO the truth of the charges Of corruption
made in said paper, with view to the conduct o,
the Senate and its members, and not with the view
of arragning Furnishing the authors Of the publ.
cation. Under this sense Of their duties the COM
mittee summoned before them the editor Of the
Daily Times newspaper (Mr. III. III. Robinson, }
and the publisher, (Mr J. e. Dow,) as witnesses,
who, Of their own knowledge, or by giving the
names OF others, might be able to prove the alleged
corruption; and the committee declined to act upon
lntimauons that Others besides the editor and pub
Usher might be found to be connected with the au-
thorship OF these publications. The inquiry, in
thls way, avoided all aspect Of proceeding against
tne authors OF the publications. and became wholly
directed 10 the character Of the Senate as con,
nent part OF our republican institutions and which
cannot be impaired or destroyed wtbon, grsa, min

To avoid calling persons unnecessarily and ;,
properly before them, the committee red;cstoJ a.
editor and the publisher of the paper to stat. ~
writing the facts they expected to prove by eerh
witness, which was done; and the statements thus
made being copied into the minutes of proceedings
became justification for summoning each witness
and also guide TO his examination, and gave the
editor and the publisher the benefit of directing the
inquiry to the points which they deemed material.
Under the general imputatioh against senators of
corrupt communications with the British minister in
relation 10 the settlement OF the Oregon question: the
articles published in the Times contained three spe-
cfcstons Of character sufficiently definite to admit
ofspeci6o inquiry; and 10 the truth Of these specf
cations the researches Of the COMMITTEES were chiefly
