WASHINGTON. Feb. IA. IS47.

lee, to expel the editor of Mr.. Folks official
organ, from privileged seat on the floor of
that body! The vote stood 81 10 81, Mes
srs. Calhoun, Butler, Yulee and Wesicoi,, of
The dominant party, voting with the Wings
for the expulsion.
In the course of his speech, which was
very long one, Mr.. Westcott proclaimed that
were the people TO know of The amount of
fraud and corruption practiced here a. the
seat of government, by The executive and
Legislative Departments, that cheated, in
suited and bamboozled people would rise in
their majesty and eSand tumble Mr. Jas.
K Polk and his Cabinet Ministers and bot
Houses Of Congress, wings and locoiocos,
heels over head into the Potomac.
Mr. Weslcor is an eccentric genius, and
fguratively some times! He induges in
the latitude of debate which The rules of the
Senate secure 10 him.
As Tor the wane in Mr.. Folks popularity,
he stated that fihat iunctionary's claim were
to be again before the people, for their 'swee,
Voices he could not get the vote ola single
district in the u. Siaiesi In this there is
more truth than fancy!
The vote IN the Senate on the expulsion
resolution, was blow aimed less, imagine,
al The editor of the Union than the President
of the United States, who is presumed TO
counienance the assault upon the Senate by
his own selected official editor! The edi-
tor himself is no more 10 the Senate than
any body else, of course. The blow was
aimed at higher game.
Ii is reported that the noxious commun-
calicn which received so much endorsement
and commentator from The official editor,
emanated from higher quarter, else il would
not have been so bepralsed!
1t is also asserted by some that locofoco
Senator, who has figured in the debate. and
who used TO be fond of writing similar anon
ymous attacks upon his beiters, furnished the
communication complained of for the Union
--ba, this cannot believe; not because the
Senator says he does not know who wrote
The article, but because il does not ap-
pear to me 10 be in his style altogether!
learned that both the President and the
official editor are much excited and morti-
fed at the vote of the Senate in this mat
ter!
In the House yesterday heap of speech
es were delivered 10 empty benches, on the
three million bill. took no note of any of
them excep, that of Mr.. Andrew Stewart, of
Pennsylvania He isa thorough-going prac
Teal man, and when he has any thing TO say,
he says it right straight out, and gives The
facts and figures 10 bear out his declarations.
| The point / noted down related TO the
contrast which he drew between practical
Locofoco and practical Wing doctrine, as H.
Illustrated by acts.
| The annual expenditures Of Adams Adj
ministralion were Sl3,O0a,OOo. In the tour
years, Mr.. A. paid $45,0O0,U00 of the Pub
| lie Debt
This was the practical work of WING Ad-
minisiration! Look on the picture--and
now on this!
| The annual expenditures of Mr. Van Blu
ren's Administration we're $2S ,0O0,0 00!-
And instead of paying off any Public Debt
his expenditures in four years exceeded the
income of the Government, S3l 100000!
Here was democrtic purity and economy Tor
you:
The Tariff of 1912 he stated paid $751;
100000, ofihe Public Debt and lett sur
plus in the Treasury of S6,000,000! This
was wbig measure!
He asked 10 have tree judged by is
fruisl And what had the democratic tree,
now in power, produced? Ii had Produced
the tariff Of '46! And what did this tariff
do? Ii reduced the duty half, from The
tariff of AZ, on what? On brandy and other
distilled spirits! The duty on these Injuries
under the Tariff of 1912, was $2,043,O00!
By the reduction, The revenue is reduced
S952,OOO.
And how does Mr.. Polk propose 10 make
up The deficiency? Why, Mr.. Stewart an
swered, he has this day sent message TO
Congress asking for lax to be laid on tea
and coffee! Why did he not recommend the
duty to be doubled on brandy aud distilled
spirits?
| These points Mr.. S. enforced with great
zeal and ability, much to the uneaslness of Mr.
Cobb, of Georgia, vino had a good many
questions TO ask of him!
| A resolution was adopted 10 put an end
TO the discussion to- morrow at 2 O'Clock. So
The House will be full. The Wilmot Proyi-
| so, if attached, kills The bill. Will it be at
tached2 That is the question?
| The scene presented by the appearance of
! the venerable John @ Adams, into The Hall
of the House, yesterday, while the debate
was going on, highly interesting. Mr..
Andrew Johnson who was occupying that
old familiar desk, assisted in conducting its
former distinguished occupant TO it, and in
handsome Terms invited him to resume il,and
| congratulated him upon his return 10 thai
Hall where he had so many years been a
! constant and attentive member of that body.
Mr.. Adams made neat and proper re-
ply, but spoke in low tone of VOICES
The members present, of all parties, then
crowded round 0lhe old man claimant, tn
