Sompdhy ana then, AFTER refusing to reconsider the
vote by which the amendment of Mr. Evans to the

fore. they went into Committee Of the Whole on the
state of the Union. (Mr Disney in the chair) wherein
the Indian appropriation bill. amended by the Senate
was again taken up and discussed by Messrs Houston,
Fitch and johnson, of Arkansas Afterwards. the gen.
era debate having ended various amendments 10 this
bill were further debated by many members in five mia

We have seen, and have recently brought 10 the aten.
ton of readers several very attacks made by
the organs and leaders OF the Scott wing Of the wing
party upon Mr. Webster, and upon Mr. Fillmore and his
administration. We were. however. scarcely prepared
to see this carried into the Senate of the United
States But in the brief report of the debate on the a5h
instant in that body upon the printing bill. published
in the Republic of yesterday, find the following ex.
traordnary passage:

TO have spoken at all except upon full consult
alton with the gentlemen associated with him in the
leadership OF the Scott wing of the whig party, and
probably with General Scott himself. What special
provocauon Mr. Webster has given to bring upon his
head this violent and premedtaed assault of the Scott
men will probably be made known Meantime il
may be deemed prudent policy by the Scott leaders for
Mr.. Mangum to assume the exclusive responsibility OF
his language. although well-informed man can for a

arded in the Senate BY leading party manager. except

senatorial authority that there is the knife and
