President BrG,NAN's late message to
tle House Of Repres antatives, in which he
claims that they have mo- right to appoint
committee to inquire into anything which he
ha. done. or whether he has or has not
abused his official power to Influence the ac-
ton # members Of he HOUSE, &c, is not
likely TO meet with much respect outside of
the list Of his own most devoted partizans.
HIS claim is the ola one of the absolute

holders and the denag)gues. This contest
is. to all intanIs and purposes. between the
best and the poorest clements Of Connecticut
society. One represents, on New England
soil. the power Of a prostituted administra-
ZION the other, the principles OF new and
growing national party. whose radical llie is

SENATORIAL SQUABBLE.-IIints Of little
fight IN secret session of the Democratic
Senatorial Caucus the other day, have been
given out. The story is that it was between
CLAW of Alabama, and Clingman Of North
Carolina. Clingman has a secret inclination
for Douglas, though be is a disunionist,
while Clay is d bitter enemy of Douglas and
.u the caucus the two senator's got into a tre-
mendous fight, hung to each other like dogs,
and ever since Clay has worn goggles to con
