of reference of the Presidents Annual Message an
interminable theme. He was followed by MI. Ven
able of North Carolina in able speech in defence
of the war and the general policy of the democratic
party. This, his first Congressional effort has won
for him high rank as parliamentary debater Rock
well Of Connecticut, closed for tho day, and Lincoln
of Tennessee, has the floor for tomorrow.
AS the wings lose opportunity to misrePresent
the sentiments and speeches of the democracy, it
may be well to call the attention of your readers
to the fact that Mr.. Venable, though speaking in
high terms of Gen. Taylor, expressly declared his de-
termination to sustain no candidate except after full
and frank avowa of his opinions, finding them sound
ly democratic in all things. The Intelligencer's
port accidentally onlits this declaration.
In the House to-day, we had the presentation of inn
portant reports of Committees. Lincoln then made
his speech on the reference of the Message Robin
son of Indiana, offered resolution for closing the
debate at p. NJ, which was voted down. So we
are to have to have tic intermnable war debate on
this question.
Clayton closed in the Senate to-day. He arriagned
the President all points, from the annexation OF
Texas to the admission of Santa Anna. Not dol
lar will he vote. Pearce is to talk tomorrow Much

The " Standard holds up for execration the Hon.
Nathaniel Boyden for voting to relinquish all claim
upon Mexico for the expenses OF this war, but is
dumb as an oyster about Mr.. Venabe, and other par
tizans endeavoring to withhold from the people all
information relative the celebrated pass given
by President Polk to his friend Santa Anna Evil
deeds fear the light. Register.
Yes, and you dare not defend your friend, the Hon
orable Nathaniel Boyden. He voted not only to " re-
linqush all claim upon Mexico for indemnity for the
expenses of this war; but to withdraw armies
to the Rio Grande, and yield up to the public foe
portion of the sovereign State of Texas; but this
fact you have kept back from your readers. You
know that Nathaniel Boyden has taken sides with
the public enemy and that his vote thus given, is
calculated so far as such an do it, to disgrace
North Carolina in the eyes of the worlds and yet you
apparently anxious as you were few months back
to see the war go onyou, who denounced the Presi-
dent for not sending troops to Mexico to carry
on this war, now have the hardihood to whitewash
Nathaniel Boyden by comparing him with patriots

asked tn the late negotiations aoiM Mr. Trist, and who

courage to stand by your friend, you would do it but
you have not. You skulk into the dark, and content
yourself with repeating the miserable sixPenny,
ploded slander against President Polk OF having Civ
en- Santa Anna pass into Mexico; and here your
notice of the Honorable Nathaniel Boyden comes to
a dead stop. Well may that individual exclaim,
ss save me from my friends :"

this is the reason, doubt, why you have net told

MR.. vENABLE's REMARKS.

We find in the Washington Union of the 11th in
slant, sketch of the remarks of Mr.. Venable, in
Committee of the Whole, on the Presidents Annual
Message. Our Washington Correspondent speaks in
glowing terms of this effort of Mr.. Venable. He
says it has "won for him high rank parla-
mentary debater.''
The sketch which we find in the Union is obvi-
ously not full, and shall therefore look for the ap
pearance of the Speech at length. Should Mr.. Ven
able, however, not take the trouble to write it out,
shall publish it furnished to the Union by the

there is nothing in it which can be regarded in the
