which reply was received, stating the
amount of the Governments Indebtedness
to him at much smaller sum than that
for which Mr.. BRowS had presented the
vouchers. On examination, it turned out
that Captain Herron's affidavit to the
vouchers did not express the sum OF the IN
debtedness, nor specify the items vouched
for; and that fictitious and forged vouchers
had been added to the real vouchers,
which last Captain Heron had given to
Mr.. BRowN.
The amount Of the story is, that Mr.. B.
F. Brown has obtained several hundred
dollars from the treasury on forged pa
pers, and on the discovery of the fact has
absconded; and that, as a consequence,
the nominee of the Democratic caucus for
the office of doorkeeper has not been
voted for-and the sole organ thinks that
when the Locofoco candidates are not
voted for, the result is likely to be disas-
trous to the Union.
What effect this mishap is to have on
the general market for martyrs, we have
yet TO learn. The political price-current
of the week, we apprehend, will set down
martyrdom large way below par, in spite
of the efforts of Mr.. BRADBURY to resus-
citate it by his senatorial efforts.

The Committee OF Ways and Means.

In the Union of January Is appears an
article intended to exculpate this commit
tee for neglecting the business properly
belonging to it; and the Union, for Cen
eral BAYLY, says that the Committee of
Ways and Means waited for the action of
the Senate, and further says, Ito quote its
own words y
"when the Senate, which had taken the initia-
tive, had acted, il would be time enough for the
House. If the Senate did not act favorably, the
avocation Of the House gone. As clear as this
is, informed that, nevertheless, the Chair
man Of the Committee Of Ways and Means Of the
House took the precaution--which, it would seem,
was no more than abundant caution--to confer
with the leading Wing members of the Commit
tee Of Ways and Means to the propriety Of
their waiting for the action Of the Senate, which
had taken the initiative; and that they advised
that the House should wait for the Senate"
Now, this precaution that the chairman
took, "we are informed" he did not take,
and that the Union is mistaken in suppos-
ing the "leading Wing members of the
Committee of Ways and Means "adrised''
that the House should wait for the Senate
What confession, if the facts are cor
rectly stated, that the chairman conferred
with the leading WING members Is the
chairman already in want of helpl And
we should be glad to know, in commit
tee Of nine members-and majority of
whom are Locofocos-who are the leading
WHTGs And will the Union inform us,
why could not the Committee of Ways
and Means act upon the annual estimate
of appropriations submitted to Congress
at the first of the session, and printed be-
fore Congress assembled A glorious
committee Mr.. Com, in bis impartality,
has given us The House is 10 wait for
the Senate, and General BAYLY confers
with leading Wings, when he wants help
to--do nothing.
Is not the chairman driven to a Ennis
cradle shift" in the language of the arti-
Gle referred to, when he can make no bet
ter excuse for his inefficiency than this !
There is little doubt the Locofocos in Con-
gress intend to embarrass the Administra-
ton; and Mr.. Speaker CoBB has given
us Committee Of Ways and Means whose
chairman, if the Union speaks for him,
does not know his duty.

A Remini.eence-The slavery agitation.

Snow, will General Taylor longer attempt TO
cuse himself from expression of his opinions on
the Wimot proviso? Will he longer keep himself
in the dark as to his intended with reference
to that measure, if it shall pass Congress''
Thus discourseth the Union of the 10Th
instant, in leading article, which, for low
seurrility and gross defamation, will COM
pare favorably with some of the choicest
illusions with which such saints as B. F.
Brown-the chosen candidate of the Loco
foco party for Doorkeeper to the House of
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES wont to enliven the
columns of that journal last summer. In
the Union's first article upon President
TAYLoR's message, it denounced him for
observing "criminal non-committalism"
upon this question. Both before and
after the meeting of Congress, it has as
sailed him on this point in every form of
indecent vituperation. 1t has attacked
his motives in not brandishing the
veto over the National Legislature. 1t
has charged him with being sstraitor
against the Union'' for not declaring whe-
Their he is against the North or against the
South. 1t has gone SO far as to say that
an expression of his views-without say
ing upon which side-would calm agita-
ton and restore quiet to the country. 1t
has reiterated and repeated this at the
very time it denounced and libeled him
for recommending any action 10 Congress
upon any subject.
1t was not, however, to convict the
Union of the most glaring and proAigate
inconsistency upon this or any other ques-
ton, that we have alluded to its course at
this time-it does this service for itself
daily, as every trickster will who is gifted
with greater versatility of invention than
tenacity of memory. The state of the
country at this time is suggestive of a
condition of the public mind, upon the
same question, some years ago, and of the
course President Monroe, during whose
administration the agitation was at its
crisis, pursued in relation 10 it. The
Richmond Wing has collatsd the history
Of those days. From the extracts we
make from It's able article, it will be
found that whilst General TAYLoR's course
has the sanction of great precedent, that
of his traducers stands in need of statute
of limitations.

ton Fifteen minutes after he had made the mo-
ton, he had called on the Senator from Alabama
and told him that he would, If II desirable,
then move to take up the resolution. The Senator
replied that the resolution had been laid on the Ia
bic by northern vote; that he had attained his
object, and wished now TO show the people of the
South that the professions Of friendship The part
Of the North false, and that resolution OF in
quiry had been stfied because IL had reference 10
the subject Of slavery. He, (Mr. DID, after this
conversation, was not surprised that when the
resolution called up the other day, the Senator
from Alabama desired Il 10 be passed over. How
could that Senator now charge him with postponng
this resolution He desired, by his vote to- day and
by his motion, to pass this resolution, 10 show that
the North had no desire TO stop this inquiry TO
stihe debate This was his principal object and he
was surprised that the Senator from Connecticut
did not see IL. All that had taken place between
the Senators and himself was mere by-play His
object was generally understood by Senators oil
Mr.. BUTLER said the matter had not reached
his cars.
Mr.. RUsK, Mr.. DAVIS of Mississippi, Mr.. TUR-
heard nothing ofit.
Mr.. DOUGLAS could not say 10 whom he had
spoken on the subject. He, however, from what had
been stated in the papers and elsewhere, thought
there was something in the charge against the Ad
ministration, and was anxousy in favor of the
adoption of the resolution.
Mr.. KING had never supposed his colleague was
at any time DESTROYS that this resolution should not
pass. He had appealed TO his colleague himself the
other day 10 allow the resolution to go over. He
never bad heard that there any object in allow
ing the resolution TO pass over; and il any Senator
has stated any other design in allowing this TO pass
over, he ought TO be named.
Mr.. DOUGLAS said that he had gone 10 the Sen
ator from Alabama Mr.. CLrmENs) with the kndest
feelings. He offered TO move 10 take up the resolu.
ton. The Senator remarked 10 him that he did

Information was desired TO ascertain whether, by
Executive interference, there had been given pre-
mature birth TO State, the Senator from Illinois
should rather be rejoced than otherwise, for, from
all accounts, the young State was Democratic. This
ought, he thought 10 satisfy the Senator that the
Administration had nothing TO do with IL, as I'M
doubtcdly they would have the child with another
name.
Mr.. DOUGLAS said that, from the very reason
stated by the Senator IL appeared TO him that this
Administration would desire TO conceal and deny
the paternity Of the child From the accounts
given by others, II would appear that the child was
his, rather than General Taylor's. BE that as IL
may he desired TO have all the information on tho
subject, and that information now.
Mr.. FOOTE said he had felt no interest upon the
subject until the Senator from Connecticut had
charged the matter upon the late administration OF
Mr.. Polk and had wantonly disturbed the memory
Of the illustrious dead. His duty TO his party and
to the dead required that he should insist upon the
evidence of the accusation. The Senator from
Connecticut seemed to be well informed upon many
things. but not all. He had forgotten, perhaps,
that this charge of ofcious medding in the affairs
Of the people Of California by the President had
been noticed in all the papers Of the country, from
the New York Herald down. He had thought the
Senator from Connecticut great reader Of news
papers, and great circulator of information. lie
knew the Senator had sent circulars TO all parts Of
the country-circulars on many subjects, but God
in Heaven only knew how many. laugh.l
The Senator, he knew, read diligently the Caifor-
mia ncwspapcrs-had undoubtedly an extensive
correspondence with that country. Now, IL he had
read attentivey the proceedings of the convention,
he would have noticed that at the precise moment
General Reilly left the chair in which he had pre-
sided during the whole session, Mr.. Botts-a good

FROM MAYAGUEz, P. R.-The N. Y. Herald of
the 9th ult says;
We learn from Captain Chase, of the schooner
Mary c. Ames, which arrived yesterday from
Mayaguez, P. r., that Capt. Beecher and crew, of
the schooner North Carolina, ian account of the
wreck of which we published some time since,)
had been detained at that place for thirty days.
After the customhouse authorities had seized what
was saved from the wreck, they went to the Con-
suls office, and took possession of the captains
chronometer and spy glass. On the 18th of April
an American man-cf-war came in port, and Capt.
Beecher laid his case before the commodore, who
told him that he would inquire into it and see him
righted. A Spanish gentleman was present at the
time, and reported it to the captain of the port and
he sent for the captain, mate and men, and put
them in prison. The Consul, however bailed
them out in short time.
The U. S. ship Albany arrived at Mayaguez on
the 18th inst. from San Juan, p R., all well. The
commander fred salute, but was not answered.
