Theofficers on The occasion were JAS winston,
President; Jos. Mayo, Isl Vice President; Fen
dali Griffin, I'd do; Jos. c. Spading, 81 DO; JAS
Nj. Ford, 4th do Rd. II. johnson, 9TH do.
Mr. Bolts, OF course, was The hero OF the scene
The "God Of (Whig) idolalry." lie made
speech, in which he cut the Gordian knot, and
informed the faithful" that 1--WE were farther than
ever from peace" and declared that The secret
correspondence between the President and Santa
Anna should be brought to light, and the whole
nature OF The disgracelul transaction exposed
The "cue" was al once taken BY Mr.. Darlington
of the Times who afterwards gave The following
toast:
"President Polk and his Mexican General: The
intrigue between them demands investigation by
a Wing House OF Representatives and may
joan M. Boris be the chairman oil The commit
tee 10 inquire into it,"
The country will look for some lawful revela
lions, sprinsing from this Supper" movement!
Mr. Bots next aimed blow al the Senate, and,
no doubt 10 the confusion Of his associates OF The
National Inleigencer, "said il was no longer true
that he conld with safety look TO the Senate that
body was no longsr conse, pairc. He insisted that
il was peculiarly The business OF the House 10
check The growth Of Executive power, and 10 pun

Of Impeachment OUGHT moi be set aside, or there
would be no usurpalion which The President might

Polk. The scene will be rich but we pre-
dict another most wreched failure. Ii will, how
ever, be Tor Mr.. Bous as good an opportunity as
can be presented for acquiring noloriely in
which he seems 10 rejoice. He need mol fear any
check 10 his most exlravasanl antics from The
Wings Of this district After what we have seen,
they will or ought TO counIenance any vagaries,
however reckless.
We subjon few loasls, as a specimen oil the
whole. Ii is worthy ofreinark, that not one word
is said Of the "lun" that the Federalisls said
al he ,f thp
Tariff, Sub-Treasury, &c. The silence on this
occasion is The most powerful yindicalion Of The
wisdom of Democratic policy. The great string
upon which these supperealing Wings relied, was
The "pass" Of Santa Anna, miserable officer,
