aoth coNGREss--FIRST SESSION.

MONDAY, Dec. 20.-In the Senate, there was
some skirmishing on the subject of the war.
Mr. Calhoun and Mr.. Cass said just enough
to make it certain that more will follow. Mr..
Cass denied that the complete conquest of
Mexico was desired by the Executive or any
body else, but Mr.. Calhoun showed as to the
"any body else," the Senator from Michigan
should know better, and referred to the pro-
ceedings of meetings applauded by the official
paper, where the conquest OF Mexico was
avowed. All the present evil in regard to
Mexico, Mr.. Calhoun argued, had arisen from
acting without declaration of war, or dec
laration of some sort. Action upon his reso-
lutions, he contended, should precede action
upon the war bills, as Congress ought to know
what was designed before money was appro-
priated, or more men allowed.
In the House, Mr.. G.. ]. Ingersoll has propos-
ed to carry out the wishes of the Executive in
regard to the Italian States, by abolishing the
office of Charge des Affaires to Naples.:and
Sardinia and substituting full mission to the
Papal States. The Committee pm Fol eign Af-
fairs are charged with reporting upon this
resolution.
Mr.. Holmes, of S. C. started new idea for
the time, by embodying resolution calling
upon the States to pay over to General Gov
ernment the amount of money deposited with
them under the act of 1886. This mouey is
called for in lieu of the loan now demanded
by the Secretary of the Treasury.
There was something like show of hands
upon the internal improvement question. Mr..
Petit, of Ia., introduced Resolves going only
to the question of the power of Congress over
public highways, upon which munitions of
war are carried, and over lake Improvements.
The Administration members were disposed to
resist them as going too far, and the majority
thought they did not go far enough. They
were laid by for amendment and debate.
Mr.. Richardson of Ill.,, introduced a series
of Resolutions, declaring the war to be just
in its origin, and to have been prosecuted in
the spirit of justice, and only with the view
of obtaining an honorable peace. The prevl-
Gus question was at once sprung upon the
House, with view of forcing action in the
absence of Whig members. Two motions
were made to adjourn, and lost-the one by the
close vote of SO to SO, and it was not until
call of the house was moved on the Whig side
and carried by the close vote of of l04 to 81,
that the Administration members abandoned
the fight at late hour in the afternoon.

MEssRs. EDITORS "A communication has
lately appeared in the Liberty Standard, in
which the writer, Rev. c. c. Cone, after the
usual complaints for not receiving more hom-
age from the people of Woolwich, and pas
sing elogium on the "three worthless" as he
styles them, proceeds to uncork his big bottle
of highly concentrated bitterness, and fling it
at the Congregational Society of this town. for
not keeping preacher they did not want
Concerning the Rev. gentleman's complaints,
we have only this to say, "they will make an
excellent preface to his political lectures"
when he sees fit to publish them. AS regards
the three worthless, we have not much to say,
and very little to fear, we opine. They are
three busy "little candidates. always sure to
go off at half cock, if they go at all, and ca
pable of exerting about as much political in
fuence as the man in the moon.
But if the Congregational society of this
town saw fit to inform Mr.. Garland-their en-
gagements being ended-that they did not
choose to enter into any farther engagements
with him, what did they more than they had
perfect right to do: If the people of this
town do not employ man to berate them
about theirspolitics, does it necessarily follow
that some "would- be" NJ c., who has drunk
the gall and wormwood of disappointment to
its dregs, must take it in high dudgeon, and
has the right to lecture them forits Does the
Rev. gentleman suppose all the people of
Woolwich are equally as subservient as are his
three worthless, and that he can frighten them
into the traces by one flourish of his quill?
Does he expect all hands quietly to succumb,
and let him appoint priest to reign over us ,
If so we shall add one more to his now long
catalogue of disappointments. But, perhaps
the two have entered into compact, the one
to appoint the preacher, and the other to preach
as he shall dictate. This being the case, Mr..
Editor, we shall exercise our prerogative once
more, and spurn the coalition.
In conclusion, we would advise the gentle
man to attend to his own concerns, and leave
the people of Woolwich to manage for them
selves. Yours truly, NEoUAssETT.

The President has appointed a man named
Senpstack to the Office of Warden of the Peni-
tentiary, in the District of Columbia. This
is the man, we believe, who made a personal
assault upon the venerable John Quincy
Adams, for some fancied injury, nine or ten
years ago. His proper place would be among
the malefactors, not in charge of them. We
presume Sengstack's term of Office will expire
with the action of the Senate upon his noml-
nation.--BufaO Express.

The person who was beaten in the streets,

We insert the above because we hold, what
ever reasons of suspicion we may have against
a man, however strong the proof may be, it is
but fair that he should have the chance to tell
his own story. Yet, notwithstanding the
statements that Mr.. Davis has made, we still
deem it duty that we owe to the community
to call attention to the disgraceful proceedings
that are nightly witnessed around his shop
Mr. Davis does not he aoiH not deny that for
some time past his shop and its vicinity has
been the scene of disgraceful riot and brawls ;

ny. Now he cannot expect that those who
have property in the vicinity, who conduct
their business in the vicinity, will submit to
this without calling on the public authorities
to do something to put stop to it-without
asking the cause, and demanding that that
cause shall be removed.
That these brawls are caused by intoxicat-
ing liquors, none can doubt, i. is "a self evident
fact. The only question we and the public are
to ask is, where is that liquor obtained? Mr..
Davis denies that he has broken the law, if we
understood the above, yet appearances are
against him. Many circumstances we might
enumerate tending to fix suspicion on him;
indeed there is scarcely an individual in the
community, probably, that does not believe
him guilty. But, without judging him, and
taking his word, we will pent out a way in
which he may clear himself from suspicion,
and prevent the occurrence of those outbreaks
of which we have complained. Our plan is,

The Scientific Expedition to the Dead Sea,
under 1t. Lynch, U. S. N, is for the purpose
of exploring that wonderful Lake, the most
extraordinary in the known world-and ascer-
tanning, if possible, whether it is of volcanic
origin or not, and to refute the position of
infidel philosophers with regard to its forma-
ton. The elucidation of this subject is a
desideratum to science, and would be most
gratifying to the whole Christian world. 1t
will be creditable to our country if the ques.
ton should be, at length, finally settled by its
science and enterprise. We infer from Lit.
Lynch's letter that the expedition has the
countenance of the Government Banner.

Mr.. CorWin.

No man has been so vilely traduced, or SO
wilfully and malciously misrepresented as has
this favorite son of Ohio. While the Admin
istration papers have never dared to publish
his speech, they have ascrbed to him senti-
ments directly contrary to those he advanced.
They have stopped at nothing that they
thought calculated to blacken the name of one
who has shown himself lover of his coun-
trys true glory
Mr. Corwin, in a letter to the editor of the
Springfield (Ill.) Journal, exposes some of
these misrepresentation, and defines his posi-
ton. He says that he contends that the war
is unjust on our part, and that he has, for his
support in this assertion, the authority of Ben
ton, Calhoun, and also of the late Silas
Wright He says, as Congress is the only
power capable of declaring war, according to
the constitution, it must have the power to
end it; that as he can see no good results to
come from further aggressive measures, he
would grant no supplies to carry on such mea-
sures. He says, at the conclusion of his let
ter:

If we believe the magnetic report, which
we publish in another column Gen. Scott has
arrested Generals Worth and Pillow and Col.
Duncan, for disrespectful correspondence
We doubt the truth of this, for we are almost
certain that Gen. Scott would not except for
the greatest aggravation, take such step, and
we are unwilling to believe that Gen. Worth,
who is indebted to Gen. Scott for his good for
tune and station, would be so ungrateful, or
so unmindful of his duty, as to give such an
aggravation. Besides, the account seems con-
Trajectory, for it states that Gen. Scott has
sent Worth, with a strong force to Queretaro,
to protect the deliberations of the Mexican
Congress which he would not have done had
there been any great misunderstanding be-
tween them. The arrest if at all must have
been after the appointment of Worth to that
service.
