GEN. BUTLER AT New ORLEANs.-The re-
occasion of his arrival from Mexico,) is repre-
sented by all the New Orleans papers as being
one of the most tremendous exhibitions of
popular enthusiasm ever witnessed. We on.
ly wish our limits would permit us to spread
before our readers the glowing account of it
which we find in the New Orleans Weekly
Delta, of the Sd instant The Democracy OF
the Crescent City never displayed more enthu-
siasm than on this occasion. Louisiana will
vote for Cass and Butler. beyond doubt
The following are the opening paragraphs OF
the Delta's account of this magnificent affair :
"New Orleans was, Saturday evening, the
scene of one of the grandest, widest, most
numerous, and enthusiastic popular displays
we have ever witnessed. The Democracy
turned out in all the strength of their numbers,
and in all the ardor and earnestness which
characterize all their public demonstrations.
For some time past il had been whispered a.
bout that the Democrats had lost their old spi-
rit and vigor and would not enter this contest
with their accustomed enthusiasm. This sus-
piclon, no doubt, contributed to bring them
out on this occasion in all their numbers and
prodigious zeal
The occasion of this display was the re-
ception of Gen. William o. Butler, on his re-
turn from the scenes of the Mexican wars
The Councils having omitted to tender TO him
the hospta1ities of the city, the Democracy
took fire at the alleged neglect, and determin-
ed to take the matter in their own hands So
the Democratic Central Committee set to work
to give the General Democratic welcome
The arrangements were on a scale of great
magnifcence, but it was vain to attempt TO
curb or restrain the enthusiasm of the mass by
any regulations or plans. The Democracy
were determined to have their own way and
give full reins to their feelings Programmes
and orders were all forgotten. and a wild tu.
multuous enthusiasm prevailed throughout the
whole ceremony and procession"

FROM the Union.
Numerous complaints Rave reached US from

defeat in the House of Representatives OF the

This measure of justice was introduced in the
House by democratic member from Penn

jority there. 1t was taken up and passed in
the Senate, democratic body, and sent back
to the House. A motion was made that ii be
taken up and acted upon Immediately, ont Of
its regular order. This required the IMAM.
nous consent of the House. Objection was
made by wing member, (Mr. Dickey,) and
it coulo not be taken up. This matter should
be acted upon Immediately, to give the return.
ing volunteers its early benefit. The above
facts in the matter are given, that the resPon'
sibilty may be placed where it belongs-uP
on the wing majority in the House of Repre-
sentatves. 1t is hoped tina: public opinion,
at least, if not sense of justice, will mPel
them to reverse their former decision, and give
to the brave volunteers the recompense which
they have honorably earned

CoNsREss.-We had prepared and partly in
type synopsis of the proceedings of Con-
gress during the past week, but find that we
cannot possibly publish it this week without
excluding matter that will, we think, be more
interesting to our readers. Wema saw that.
from all appearances. this session of Congress.
is Just beginning to get into the middle of its
important business. In the Senate. the oro.+
absorbing topic of discussion has been the Or.
egon Territorial bill, and, as incident thereto.
the slavery question in the Territories. Thi.
matter is not yet disposed of, but we think
from all appearances, the Missouri Compro
mise will be extended to the Territories. II
the House. the Presidents message on the trea
ty of peace, has afforded the honorable gentle
men of both sides an opportunity OF expata
ting at large upon general politics.

document to Congress. We proudly point to
these two documents, and commend them to
the attention of all our readers, wings as well
as democrats The war into which we were
necessarily provoked, has been, throug bout
all its stages, most gloriously conducted on oul

IDENTIFIED our country for all the wrongs and
outrageS which Mexico, for long series o.

We congratulate the administration and tn

the brightest pages in the future history OF the

FREE SUFFRAGE,-We publish on our fourth
page an article from the Raleigh Standard or
EC lA Suffrage" shelving the provisions ir
the different State constitutions of the Unior
on the subject of the elective franchise. The
article is compiled. from the documents, and
may be relied on. From it, it will be seer
that North Carolina IS the only State in tn.
Union that makes distinction between the
qualifications of voters for the Senate and
House of Commons. We ask the reader tc
peruse this statement carefully, and then say
whether there is any good reason why North
Carolina should differ from all her sister States

Gp-The Commercial of Saturday contains a
paragraph headed " Political CalcuIation,'' in
which it denominates the statement in the
Washington Union, that the war debt no1r is
only about Sixty Millions of Dollars, " an a.
bominable and groundless 'whopper.' " Now
it so turns out, that in the article referred 10
in the Union, the debt is exaggerated ten
millions by purely clerical error, such a one
as must be obvious 10 ever one at glance
The Commercial says the debt is one hundred
and fifty millions OF dollars, and will probably
finally foot up two hundred millions. Now
we cannot conceive why the Commercial
should be so shallow as TO make these fabri-
Gated statements when it knows they can be
so easily contradicted. We say the public
debt of the country, when Mr. Polk came in.
10 power, was over II millions; that now ii
is only about 65 millions, including all the
loans that have been made on account of the
war. This, of course, will shew that the war
debt is short of so millions of dollars. We
defy the Commercial 10 prove that the war
has cost one cent more, thus far. But more
over the "abominable and groundless whop-
per-" as the Commercial is pleased 10 call it,
is nothing more nor less than an official state
ment of the Register of the Treasury of the
United States. Why did not the Commercial
publish it, and ifthere was any" abomirable''
or groundless" false statements to be found
in 1t, he could then have pointed them out
We say the statements made by the CONNER
cial and other Taylor papers, that the war has
cost, or will cost the country, one hundred and
fifty millions of dollars, is sheer fabrication
We defy the Commercial TO make his state
ments good. We have deviated from pre-
scribed course in the above paragraph for the
reason that, from present indications, we Judge
.ne Commercial is the organ of the Wing Elec.
'or IN this District.
