CONGRESSIONAL.

In the Senate, to-day, the question the printing
of extra copies of the report Of the Commissioner
of Patents again came up Messrs. Sewer, Benton,
and Niles opposed the printing Of the number of
copies recommended by the committee. Mr.. Sc
vier was opposed to the printing on the ground
that the patent Office "humbug." Messrs
Cameron and Atherton advocated the printing, on
the ground that the document one full Of valu-
able information, not elsewhere to be obtained and
eagerly sought for by the great masses of the
people. The question lies over, the discussion on
it being interrupted by the arrival of the hour al
which the special order is taken up. Mr.. Archer
spoke for upwards of an hour agaius. the notice.

The following extract from the washington
correspondent" of the New York Telegraph, of the
l4th instant, is scarcely worthy of any notice. It's
statement is gratuitously made and totally false
81 stated some days back, should show the pub
lie Mr.. Haywood did speak by authority of the
President, upon the two occasions when he pro-
duced go remarkable sensation in the ranks of the
western wing of his party. Mr.. Haywood and the
President have been personal and political friends
from boyhood to the present time, &c, &c. but
let US come TO the gist of the statement) "These
are facts, and strong Ones as to the case in point
But they corroborated by stronger circum-
stances. At recent interview between Mr.. Polk
and Senator Bagby, Of Alabama, the President, of
his own accord, and, indeed, against the desire Of
the latter required to the dsaffections in the party
in relation to the adjustment Of Oregon, and re-
marked, the only member Of Congress to ,ohom he had
freely and fully expressed his pie,os concerning the posi-
lion and prospects Of that question oas his old friend
Hapcood Now, Mr.. Richie has lately denied posi-
tipeiy that Mr.. Haywood had any other authority
than the public documents afforded of the sentiments
of the Executive. Here it is proved, by one of his
own senat ors sthat the President admitted to him
having conferred freely with Mr.. Haywood. Which
ia to be believedi | think Mr.. Bagby; for the
Union had an object to serve in giving doubtful
coloring to the statement, whereas Mr.. Bagby had
no consideration to move him bu. the naked truth.
Why won't the Union meet the direct charge, upon
which l now arraign it, Because it dare not;
there is no chance for qubblng or equvocaton; and
were Mr.. Bagby brought to the stand, he would sub
stantate the wfu misrepresentation of the govern
ment organ. That is reason enough why he will
never be summoned. Such is the character of most
of the contradictions made by the 'Unon;' they
are thrown of at random, without knowledge or
consultation"
Now, but one word in reply to this audacious
scrbbler reckless in his assertions, so unfortunate
in his proofs But it is another evidence of the spirit
of misrepresentation that is on foot. We have re-
Gently had some specimens of i, in this city Touch
the thousand and one rumors which emanate from
this city with the spear of Ihurie and they start
up at once into their monstrous deformity This
assertion is certainly unqualifedy false. We
"dare" to meet this direct charge; and we are
authorized by Mr. Bagby, the senator from Alabama,
to declare that the declaration is unfounded and
further, that he has never heard anything from the
President of the United States which was calculated
to produce belief that he has ever authorized any
member to speak for him.
If the Telegraph goes on thus, publishing the
most logged assertions from it's correspondents,
and the most reckless reiterations, we must beg
leave to cut its acquaintance.

FUNERAL CEREMONIES.

Both houses Of Congress paid the last honors to-
day to the memory of Richard p. Heniek, esq
one Of the representatives of the State OF New
York. II was ceremony singularly impressive
The everyday business in both houses was sus-
pended-the bitter words of party, and the glowing
eloquence Of patriotism, were hushed.
At l2 o'clock Mr.. III 3 remains were removed in.
to the hall Of the House OF Representatives The
Vice President of the United States, and the Speak
Of the House Of Representatives, were seated on
the Speakers platform.
There were in attendance the President and his
cabinet, the members of the Senate and their Off
GERS, the members Of the House, (of whom those
of the State Of New York were in the van Of the
procession,) the military and naval officers in uni
form, and many strangers.
After an appropriate prayer, the Rev Mr.. Tustin
the chaplain to the Senate, preached an able dis
course, suitable TO the occasion.
After the funeral services were concluded in the
hall, the body was borne out by number of the
New York delegation, and was Immediately follow
ed by the relatives and friends Of the deceased
A very long procession was formed, which con-
yeyed the remains Of Mr. Herriek to the Congress

OUR EARLY COMMERCIAL poLIcY-NO a

OUR EARLY COMMERCIAL PoLICY,-No O.
The hrst treaty we ever made was with France,
and II bears date February o. lT76
IL is therein declared ''that the Most Christian
King and the thirteen United States of America,
willing to NIX, in an equitable and permanent man
ner, the rules which ought to be followed relative to
the correspondence and commerce which the two
parties desire to establish between their respective
countries, states, and ubects, his Most Christian
Majesty and the said United States have judged
that the said end could not be better obtained than
by taking for the basis Of their agreement The most
perfect equality and reciprocity, and by carefully
avoiding all these burdensome preferences which are
usually sources Of debate, embarrassment, and dis
content by leaving, also, each party at liberty TO
make, respecting commerce and navigation those in
terror regulations which IL shall find most conve-
nent to itself, and by founding the advantages OF
commerce solely upon reciprocal utility, and the ,si
rules Of free intercourse, reserying withal 10 each
party the liberty of admitting at its pleasure other
nations to participation Of the same advantages"
Reverting to this treaty nearly half century al.
forwards, Mr. John Quincy Adams, then Secretary
of State, said, in his instructions TO minister
one OF the then newly-begotten South American re-
pubies;
"The only object which we shall have much al
heart in the negotiation will be the sanction, by
solemn compact, of the broad and liberal principles
Of independence equal tdp0rs and reciprocity With
the preamble and first four articles OF the first treaty
Of amlty and commerce between the United States
and France, concluded on the 9Th Of February,
l77S. The preamble is believed to be the first in
stance in the diplomatic record of nations in which
the true principles Of all fair commercial negotia-
ton between independent States were laid down and
proclaimed TO the world. That preamble tpas 10 the
foundation Of commercial intercourse p the resi-
Of mankind ohat the declaration Of Independence tea,
10 thai Of our Internal government The two instru-
ments were part Of one and the same system, ma
tured by long and anxious elaboration Of the found
ers Of this Union in the eyer-memorable Congress
Of l776, and as the declaration Of Independence was
the fountain Of all our municipal institutions, the
preamble to the treaty with France laid the corner
stone for all our subsequent intercourse with foreign
nations"
The "Britishers" are wrong in claiming all the
berality in the world for themselves. What little
lberality they have, they have borrowed from US.

DR.. BANNING AND HIS LECTURES.
A H. dstiire ac De Ran,aixalx Lridasr

After the lecture Of DR.. Banning on Friday even
ing the 18th instant, at Concert Hail. in the city Of
Washington, on motion of E. Goodrich Smith, esq.
meeting of the ladies' and gentlemen present was
organized by calling the Rev. Fl. Stringfeow to the
chair and the appointment of F. w. Rsque sec
retary.. The object Of the meeting was explained
in few pertinent remarks by Mr.. Smith; after
which he offered the following resolutions:
Resolped, That the thanks of this meeting be given
TO Dr. Banning for the interesting course of lectures
by which he has illustrated the conditions of health
and disease in the human system, especially with
reference to the abdomen and chest, and the me-
chancal relief which may be impaired by his patent
lace.
Resolptd, That we regard DR.. Banning's views on
these subjects characterized by sound philosophy
and common sense and deserving the serious atten-
ton of all classes of the community; and that we
deem his remarks on physical education especially
valuable to parents, teachers, and all who either by
precept or example may exert an influence on the
children and youth of our country.
Resolpsd, therefore, That we do most cordially
recommend DIR. Banning TO our fellow-countrymen
everywhere as entitled to their confidence respect,
and esteem, as a man and philanthropist and slso
well versed in the knowledge of the subjects for
which he claims the attention and examination Of q
candid and generous public; and that we cheerfully
give him our testimony in the belief that wherever
we may be known it may be received with the same
frankness and sincerity with which it has, of our
own accord, been presented.
Resolved, That these resolutions be signed by the
chairman and secretary of this meeting in our be-
half and presented to DR. Bsnning as an expression
of the regret which we feel on his leaving us, and
our best wishes for his prosperity and success in
the great object in which he is engaged Of relieving
the multiplied sufferings Of his fellow-men. =
Also resolved, That copy Of the same be fur
nished to the Union and Intellgencer, of this city,
with request that it may be published, a tribute
to his worth, and as a means Of rendering others
acquainted with the benefits to be derived from his
aid.
On motion Of A. ". Zevely, esq, seconded by
Joseph Wimsatt, esq, the above resolutions we're
unanimously adopted by the meeting.
