THE IMPALEMEsT or DOUGLAS.
When Mr.. Douglas was driven TO the wall sod
pinned there by Mr.. Trambull yesterday, he sought
to excite Southern sympathy by the loadsst pro-
fess;ops of devotion to their interests. One decla
alton is worthy particular attention, and has OK
cited much remark here:
Bu inasmuch as TIE powero introduce Slavery no.wis

repeating the restriction. The 'sgal effect was precisely tho
Mr.. Douglas bss always heretofore denied in
Illinois that the repeal of the Missouri Compromise
either allowed or contemplated the introduction Of
Slavery into Kansas. That was the defense for his
fundamentally in violating that compact, which u
now abandoned 10 concliate support at Cbariessoo-
This double dealing conycts itself, and VIII DO as
ounced by both sections.
THE PRINTING INVESTIGATION.
Owing to Mr.. Hsskin's absence, the COMMITTEES
on Public Expenditures suspended the examinat'oa
e witnesses for several days. He is expected to-
morrow. when the investigation will be resumed.
Although Mr.. Wendells testimony is substantially
the same as given before the Senate COMMITTEES, IN
formation has been obtained which will give the is-
ouiry much wider range. add bring many parties
before the Committee who have hitherto escaped
attention.
This whole printing business has Only been opened
IN the surface The grolsest corruptions areJet
TO be revealed which will implicate many persors
high in authority.
AN ADMINISTRATIONS SCHEME.
In addition TO the orders issued to the command
ing officers in Texas and New Mexico, to extend
military aio to the LEGAL authorities OF some OF ths
Mexican States, and to pursue Cortioa and his
band across the American line, instructions have
been issued for the concentration of most OF the
gulf squadron at or near Vera Cruz, go as 70 bs
prepared, in the event Of Mramon's attack, under
preteDce of afordiDg protection to American cit'-
zen,. TO land marines aud aid the JUarez faction.
This sch, NE has been meditated for a month past,
without communicating particle of information
TO Congress. And it is doubted if any resolutions
of inquiry will be satisfactorily answered. The de-
sign is TO make war by land and sea-, by frat maxi
ing pro5ocstion in marching troops into the Ter
ritory and collecting naval force where it viii Se
most available for this object.
THE HOUSE PRINTER.
The election Of Printer was again postponed tr
to.morroy. A sufficient number of Democrats
| were absent day to have insured Mr.. Forasmc
cess What is most unpleasant about the delay Is,
that the combination had already begun to wraDgls
in regard to the distribution of the anticipated
| spoils. ~
| THE TEXAS REGIMENT PROPOSITION.
Alter consuming half the sitting, the Senate re-
| ftrred Mr.. Wisfalls resolution, requesting tho
| President to call out regiment Of Texas Volun-
teers, to the Com mittee on Military Affairs. This
/ movement, ike Others of similar character, il
designed to establish the basis of large stationary
force in Texas at the expense of the Government.
The War Department has concentrated large
body there already, and more than sufficient to
prefs these outbreaks, which known to originate
with Americans, and not MeXcans, IS alleged.
THE CHICAGO ELECTION.
Leading Republicans Of Illinois and elsewhere
express much interest in the success Of the NUM-
tipa ticket at Chicago, Notwithstanding the local
opposition to which it has been subjected.
TIE MEXICAN TREATY.
The friends of the Mexican treaty did not ask
an Executive session to-day, they proposed when
the subject was first presented. The Developments
on Tuesday satisfied them that defeat was inevita.
Bile under present circumstances, and hence they
are less anxious to press final division. The pres
ent nclir alton is to drift alorg and wait for some
thing to tun 40. Mr.. Hammonds speech will
keep, as the Administration may discover.
