CONGRESSIONAL.

| la tho Senate, to-day, a brief discussion again
took place on Mr.. J. M. Csytons resolution, cali
ing upon the President for information relative 10
the Oregon negotiation. Mr.. Allen opposed il on
the grounds formerly stated by him, and the matter
was finally passed over Informally. "a. 90,
An interesting passage at arms then took place
between Mr.. Cass and Mr. Webster, touching car
tain delicate points Of international law involved Ia
the Mcleod case.
Then, Mr.. Dickinson, ia speech Of nearly three
hours, repealed the assault Of Mr.. Webster made
yesterdays and about Ave o'clock, the intsrss ting
and agreeably diversified proceedings Of the day
terminated, MIR, Mangum having SIGHTED his in
tsntion Of discussing the Oregon question to-mor-
row.
The House was engaged, during sitting Of many
hours, in discussion on the Senate bill to provide
for the organization Of a regiment Of mounted
rhsmen. A very great portion Of the debate cen
tered on tho policy, principles, and action Of tho
native American party-thus following tho direc-
ton which had yesterday boon given To it. The de-
bates and the daily sessions Of the House have be-
come SO long, that it ia impossible for Us to do
more than Gull for the information Of the general
reader, from the vast mass Of matter daily spoken,
such points as bear directly on the question under
consideration.
An effort was made by Mr.. Mcclsmand TO intro
duesd resolution, giving the use OF tho hall, to-
morrow evening, TO the New York institution for tho
dsafand dumb. The motion failed, for no quorum
was present
An effort was also made by Mr.. HARRISON To
bring in rsso luton closing tho debate tho ball to
also regiment OF mounted riasmen, a, o'clock
to morrow Blu, no quorum being present at tho
time, tho resolution, like that offered by Mr.. Nc
Clenand, fell stil-bom. .

HABBOR DEFENCE,

We observe that tho mode of harbor defence, by
an ingenious submarine explosive apparatus"
which we have before noticed as having commended
itself to the very favorable consideration OF the ma
val committee Of the House Of Representatives in
the last Congress, has again been made the subject
ofa report from the same committee OF the present
House, urging upon Congress such action as may
be proper to apply the apparatus to the important
purpose for which it is designed. The invention APP
pears from the report, To have stood the test Of the
most rigorous professional experiment. The cos,
Of is very trainS, and it is declared by the very
highest authority, both scientific and practical to DO
entirely efficient in its operation.
Such an invention, at such time as the present,
well deserves the attention Of our national legisla-
ture We hope that before the session closes, pro-
vision may be made to test its value more fully, il
farther test be needed and to apply it hereafter to
the defence Of principal harbors if any contin-
gency shall occur to make such application exped-
ent as measure Of defence or Of precauton.

What is the use of the New York Journal Of
Commerce publishing such unmeanng baldcrdash
from its correspondent in this cityi He colors and
sophsticates the scenes that were exhibited in
the State convention Of Virginia, in 1874. He
grossly perverts what we said when we accepted
the olive branch SO manfully and eoquently
held out on that occasion by r. M. T. Hun
ter, esq, and when at the close of our speech
we declared, 81 hail the whole party now as
united, reunited-one and indipisibie." We ask
what is the use Of going back to those scenes, and
attempting to show from them that we then pledged
ourselves to support Mr.. Calhoun in 1913, when the
evidence is now of record-put there by Messrs.
Hunter, Seldom, Taliafcrro, &c.--tha we then pos
lively refused to commit ourselves for Mr.. Calhoun
for the next President The question was asked of
us by friend of that distinguished man, and we
distinctly refused to give any species of pledge to that
effect. But, again: what is the use Of our repeating
what was published in the "Union" in December
last2 We would caution the New York Journal OF
Commerce about the assertions Of its correspondent
whose name we shrewdly suspect. We would
appeal to the Journal IL we could entertain any hope
Of awakening its discretion its love of justice or its
sense Of liberaty. All that We would ask of this
editor, in justice to himself is to compare the
latons which we were com PEELED to exhibit in De-
cember last with the bold assertions of its present
correspondent. II this comparison does not satisfy
the editor of the little confidence which is to be re.
posed in his correspondent, we should despair OF
convincing him though we were raise one from
the dead. We cannot condescend to 60 into these
details again, and we now dismiss the subject.

A NEW ExroUNDER OF THE CONSTITUTION

NEW EXroUNDER OF THE CONSTITUTION
The New York "Courier and Enquirer is enlight-
ening its readers to the nature and theory Of the
treaty-making power in our government. 1t quotes
follows the article of the constitution confsrring
thatpower:
"ARr.2, SEC. 2, PART 9. HE (the President) shall
have power, by and with the advice and consent of
the Senate, to make treaues provided two-thrds Of
the senators present concur" &c.
Aher admitting that use and precedent are in favor
Of the right Of the President to negotiate treaties Of
his authority" and then to submit them to the
Senate for approval, the Courier proceeds to say:
"But strong argument may be, and indeed here
tofore has bsen founded on the expression to make
treatesln favor of the concurrent right of the Sem
ate to be consulted and to interfere in tie first stage
Of negotiations, ,oeH in the final approval and raii-
feaiion Of treaties"
In supnort Of this position and az presenting the
"strohg argument" the Courier quotes a passage
from speech delivered ''many years ago." by q
"distinguished senator" The name of the senator,
with the time and the occasion Of the speech, the
Courier sees fit to withhold. We find in the extrac,
given, no argument on the point, either strong OF
weak. And we shall be glad to hear from that
journal who and what the authority it quotes really
is. The Courier also states that 'No. LXIV of the
Federalis, written by John Jay, seems manfestly to
bear out the same view" of the treaty-power.
We shall be glad to see the Courier make out tina,
proposition; inasmuch we concur with that jour.
nal in thinking, that if it be not under the constitu.
ton both the right and the duty of the President "s
negotiate treaties, nd then submit them to the Sen.
ate for approval and ratification, is high time the
country knew it! Certainly, we do not mean to con.
tend that the President may not, in any important
negotiation, consult the Senate his constitutional
advisers
