President, announcing his signature to certain
acts of Congress; among which was one provi-
ding additional quarters for troops at n. Or
leans. Another, to an act supplementary to
an act regulating appellate jurisdiction of the
Supreme Court. He also transmitted mes
sage in writing, believed to contain the new
Treaty with Mexico.
Mr.. Allen submitted resolution calling on
the President for information whether the ac-
tive operations of the army in Mexico have
been suspended by an armistice, and If so, on
what authority.
The same gentleman also submitted reso-
luton instructing the judiciary Committee to

lean citizens for holding reasonable cores
pondence with the enemy in time of war. Al
so resolution, removing the injunction of Sc
crecy on all previous Executive business

tlemen on the other side of the passage of the

CLAY MEETING.

1t is said by the Tribune that the Clay
meeting, held on Tuesday evening last at Css-
tie Garden, was the mightiest assemblago Of
American Freemen ever gathered Under enc
roof, comprising nearly ten thousand
The enthusiasm of the people equalled in
intensity the magnitude of the meeting. "a
the evening came on brightly and mildly, SAYS
the same paper, the wing masses poured in in
an unbroken column across the Battery and
Bridge to the Garden, which was nearly filed
to its utmost capacity.
The Globe Q-oco) says this was large meet
ing. Some eight or ten thousand devoted
friends TO Henry Clay were on the spot
The Herald SAYS the numbers were estirna-
ted by competent judges at twelve thousand,
and admits, broadly and unequiyocalIy, thas
the great City is for Henry Clay by An i'm
mensc majority, and no mistake. The same
observation is true all over the Union He i.
emphatically the man Of the people, " great IN
the hearts Of his cOtntrymen." They love and
admire Henry Clay, and, although thrice d..
feated as candidate for the chief magistr.cy,
we should like to see the man who voted for
Clay in 1874 who will not rally with redoubled
enthusiasm again under his standard. Some
hesi;ancy among the wings has hitherto exist
ed in the circles of the Capital as to tho avail
ability of Henry Clay. But now white bead
ed Senators who were yesterday leaning To-
wards General Taylor are singing DIFF
ferent tune, and, says letter writer, one Of
them was heard to remark: "Well, we can't
help it, Clay Is indeed the idol of the Ameri-
can people and it were in vain to think of any
other man."
