SATURDAY, JANUARY 10, 1850.

at seems that, with all his protested respect for
the will of the people, as expressed through their
representatives, he the President of the United
States takes pains to conceal his passion, when
the representatives of the people call upon him for
information relating not to his, but to the peoples
Government. From more than one source we
have heard this fact stated and further, that the
President of the people makes no hesitation in de-
nouncng, even in the bitteres TERMS the imperti-
nent curiosity of the peoples representatives"
Union Of yesterday.
Loose libels of the press upon the PRESIDENT,
however wanton and however bitter, may well be
treated with contemptuous silence-that is, allowed
to pass unregarded by contemporary presses friend
ly TO him and his Administration. Some such,
however, which affect relations so important, and
SO well-defned by the President himself, as those
between the Legislative Bodies, and the Chief Ma
gistrate of the Nation, occasionally entitled to
notice. Of such character we consider that which
is comprised in the above extract.
We feel authorized to say, therefore, that each
of the statements in the extract referred to is untrue
and without foundation and that the President has
never been known to speak of the Representatives
of the People, or their calls for information, in any
other terms or temper than those which he has
employed towards them in his late Annual Message,
and also in his Inaugural Address.

Mr.. DOWNS Will the gentleman allow to say that
all the information have the subject obtained from
the Senator from Illinois.
Mr.. DOUGLAS The answer Of the Speaker, as I'M
drsood it, that he knew not Of any having been
received.
Mr. CLEMENS. The answer is there bet has not
yet been opened would say, however, that if it is not
likely be reached soon, will take another will
be perfectly willing that this resolution should be adopted here,
and that should have the where reach it.
And now, sir, have other matter to which would
advert in relation to myself In relation to what said in
ference the Northern Democracy, hold myself prepared
prove that cannot any time rely any body at the
North do not mean to say that there are not here and
there in different States individuals who willing to go
with but hold myself prepared prove that cannot
rely upon either party hold myself prepared prove that
what the Senator from New Hampshire said ruethat both
parties have been Dragging for abolition votes and the ques-
ton now is, which will 60 the iurhes hold myself pre-
pared to prove this, and in all probability shall prove be-
fore the close of the session. ...
think sir the Senator from New York is perfectly right.
He complains of my age -
Mr.. DICKINSON. Only officially.
Mr.. CLEMENS. Well, | will make no such complaint
with regard to him but would observe that the Legislature
of the State which he have for three successive
sessions adopted resolutions against the institution of slavery
know that he sound and that two others here
sound on this question know there scattered
through the entire North who with but their Legsa
torres are against their people against and so far
that goes maintain that is true, and am ready to provo
it. The Senator from Louisiana will not dispute it, for 1t
a fact - notorious TO him as to me. do not mean TO
say that there Senators who sound this
question believe the distinguished Senator from Michi
gan Mr. CAss) is and believe the Senator from Pennsyl
wanna, over there, (Mr SruReEoS,) is; at least have
disposition his part to trench the rights OF the
South does make the people they sound
We know that they sound nhe question Now sir
shall friends have suggested should do and
that is to make apology toihe Senator from Illinois am
told that my towards him much excited, and
think it was sorry should have said any thing of
that character when his intentions in the least often
sive persuaded that ought have met his advances
with cordially the time regret that any thing of
the sort should have occurred and will make him of
the promises Of the Senator from Mississippi when he promises
not to speak much. Laughter. promise tha! will en-
ieavor to keep my temper.
