RATHER DoUGHFACEY.-Speaking of the &C.
ton Of the seceders from the American State
Council on Wednesday, the Worcester Transcript
says: "They are not seceders from the State
Council nor boilers from the party" Merely "dis-
they perceive no necessity for secession" We
approving of the action of the Council it says
should like to know if this is the recognized po-
sition of the anti-Fillmore Americans If so,
they stand exactly in the position of the dough-
face Ely as declared in the Council. Ely wanted
to have both sections of the party act together in
State matters, and would let them do as they
liked about supporting Fillmore. He did not
want to have the party split by repudating the
nominations" That would be horrible thing in
the view of expectants of the loaves and fishes
Accordingly, we are now told, the object the op.
ponents of the nominations propose to accom-
plish is to be effected 'wthout any bolting,"-
that is, that they mean to take no such action as
shall sever their connection with the old hunkers,
No such course as this will go down with the
people.

rHiRrY-FoURrH CONGRESS.

Thursday May 8.
SENATE.-The Senate took up che resolu-
ton reported from the Committee on Foreign
Relations, declaring the notice which has
been given by the President to Denmark to
terminate the treaty with that government,
regulating the payment of the Sound dues,
sufficient, and that no other OF further legis-
lation is necessary to put an end to the said
treaty as part of the law Of the land.
Mr.. Sumner argued that the treaty abrogat-
ing power was kindred in character to the
war-making power, which was expressly
lodged in Congress. Former usage was in
favor OF the termination Of treaties by the joint
action Of the two houses.
Mr.. Stuart said that when the resolution
was adopted authorizing the President to give
notice to Denmark, it was done us business is
usually dore in executive session, without
much consideration. He alluded to the fact
that the President in his annual message, re-
commended that the treaty be terminated by
giving the notice stipulated This showed that,
IN the opinion of the President, IL was a sub
ject for the action OF Congress, and not for the
Senate in executive session.
Mr.. Seward sustained Mr.. Summers views.
Mr.. Clayton sustained the action of the

Thursday, May s. Mr.. Giddings suddenly
fell in fainting or apopletic fit, while adj
dressing the House about IL IL o'clock to-
day. He had commenced a speech on the

ing the appropriation of twenty-sx thousand
dollars to defrav the expenses of the Ohio
Marshal, Mr.. Robinson, in returning the he
roic slave-mother and her children flom Gin
cinnati. Mr.. Giddings was interrupted at the
moment by Mr.. Campbell OF Ohio, but he
declined yielding the floor. saying that it was
subject which so reused his feelings, and
filled his soul, that he would not yield the
floor for any explanation, even to a friend
He proceeded to say (his enthusiasm rising as
he proceeded,) that he would refresh the
memory of the House by history of that
transaction. He had just reached out his arm
in intense gesticulation, when he suddenly
grew purple in the fnce, and fell to the floor
Several members Immediately rushed to his
assistance, among them Mr.. Humphrey Mar
shall of Kentucky, who carried water, bathed
his temples, and loosened his cravat, when
the veteran quickly revived, and was led to
an open window in the lobby, where he soon
recovered sufficiently to go to his lodgings.-
The House at once postponed the business
under consideration.

The ArrRAY AT WILIAaD's HOTEL The
examination into the affair of the fatal shoot
ing of Thomas Heating, a waiter at Wizards
Hotel. by Mr., Herbert, Member of Congress
from California took place at the jail on
Wednesday evening. The excitement was
very great. Many members of Congress were
present.
a number of the servants belonging 70 the
hotel were examined. Their evidence was
somewhat contradictory, but was to the effect
that Mr.. Herbert came into the dining room
at half past II O'clock, accompanied by
friend, and called for breakfast, but being past
the usual hour, he was informed by servant
he could not have meal without an order
from the office for it.
Mr.. Herbert directed several of the servants,
who spoke to him on the subject to retire,
calling them harsh names. The deceased
made reply, when Mr.. Herbert struck him
with his list OIL, with a napkin. The deceased
then picked up plate or tray, making move
ments as if to throw it, when Mr.. Herbert
threw chat at him, the latter returning the
assault with plate. During the melee, Pat
rick, brother Of the deceased, entered, hay-
ing heard of the proceeding. Mr.. Herbert

him. The proceedings now became intensely
exciting, and chairs and erockery were brok
en- profusely by the parties il the contest
The Austrian Minister quietly beheld what
was occurring, but did not move until he
went to the man whom Mr.. Herbert had fired
at, to ascertain whether he was dead or liv-
ing.
Col. Mckay testified that he saw, when he
went into the dining room. six or seven per-
sons engaged in a scutf1e, and thought was
general fight among the servants of the hotel,
but shortly beheld one of the servants knock
down Mr.. Gardiner with a chair, and saw
three other servants striking Mr.. Herbert
holding him by the wrists. Witness seized
hold OF chair to defend Mr.. Herber;, who
was sinking under the weight of the men,
and Mr.. Gardiner beating them promiscuous-
ly. After Mr.. Herbert fired the pistol, two
other servants rushed forward and clnched
him. Mr.. Smith went to the assistance of Mr..
Herbert with cane, saying-"If you don't
release him, I'll kill you" Mr.. Herbert was
considerably injured. Witness had placed
the black patch on his nose. The pistol
used by Mr., Herbert was a single barrelled
one.
Capt. j. Smith confirmed Col. Mckay S
statement, saying the crowd of servants had
Mr.. Herbert in their power, striking HIM on
the head with plates, tray, Sc.
Mr.. Bishop, member OF Congress, was pos
tive that the pistol was discharged while the
struggle was going on. Three or four persons
were holding down Mr.. Herbert, and he APP
peared much exhausted
Capt. Blandiug corroborated the facts that
several OF the serN ants were pressing down the
man, whom he afterwards ascertained to be
Mr.. Herbert, previous 10 and at the time OF
the firing.
Capt. Deponts testimony was confrmatory
of the above.
The examination occupied five hours, and
will be resumed tomorrow. The prisoner
was remanded to the custody of the U. S.
Marshal.
