He would rather that these people should go there with kindness in their hearts towards the whites, as friends, not as deadly foes. Messrs. Underwood, Howard, Reed, Cambreleng, Pope, McKay, and Pennybacker followed in a desultory debate upon the effect of adopting the amendment of Mr. Bell, and that of the committee on Indian affairs together. Their remarks were mostly inaudible to the reporter, such had become the confusion and disorder in the hall. Much opposition was made to the resolution, but A communication was received from the secre- Rssolved, That all private bills providing for pen- Objection being made, Mr. C. asked the suspension of the rules, for the purpose of considering this resolution; which motion prevailing, the resolution was taken up and considered. The yeas and nays were demanded on the engrossment of this resolution, but were not ordered, and the resolution was ordered to be engrossed for a third reading this day. Mr. Adams (when the state of Massachusetts was called for petititions) rose, and said that he held in his hand certain joint resolutions of the legislature of the commonwealth of Massachusetts, in relation to the abolition of slavery and the slave trade in the District of Columbia; that, upon a former day, other similar resolutions of that state had been laid upon the table; whereupon, his col league had moved to withdraw them from the table, which notion was still pending. Mr. A. said he should not offer the resolutions until this motion of his colleague should have been acted on, and it should be ascertained whether the house would or would not deliberately decide to lay on the table, without reading, without printing, without consideration, the joint resolutions of the legislature of a sovereign state of the union. Mr. Ingham (the state of Connecticut being called for petitions) presented joint resolutions of the legislature of that state, expressive of the opinion that the resolution of the 21st December last, whereby all memorials upon the subject of slavery were ordered to lie on the table, should be rescinded. He moved that they be printed. Mr. Cushman moved that these joint resolutions be laid on the table. Mr. Ingham said he had no objection to their being ordered to lie on the table, but he did hope the house would order them to be printed. The printing was ordered, and they were laid on the table. On motion of Mr. Grantland, The house, in pursuance of the special order of the 29th ult., resolved itself into a committee of the whole house, (Mr. Elmore in the chair,) on the bills reported from the committee on revolutionary claims, and on the other bills included in said order; Mr. Wise said that he had forborne to say what he and having considered them severally, reported them had desired in committee of the whole, with the to the house, when they were ordered to be enunderstanding that there was to be no more debate grossed, and read a third time on Monday next. upon the bill in the house.

Saturday, June 2. On motion of Mr. Cambreleng, the Indian hostility bill, with all the amendments proposed thereto, was ordered to be printed. The Speaker laid before the house a message from the president of the United States, transmitting the following report from the secretary of state: Department of State, Washington, May 31, 1838. To the President of the United States: The secretary of state, to whom was referred the resolution of the house of representatives of the 28th instant, requesting the president to communicate to that house, if not incompatible with the public interests, any correspondence not heretofore communicated, between this government and that of the republic of Texas, and also with the government of any other country, relating to the annexation of the said republic of Texas to the United States; and to inform the house whether the application for the said government of Texas to the United States, for admission into thisnnion, has been withdrawn, has the honor to report to the president, that all the correspondence between this government and that of Texas, respecting the annexation of that republic to the United States, has been already communicated to the house of representatives, and that the proposition of annexation, made by the Texian government, having been disposed of in that correspondence, has not been since deemed within the control of the United States. ing on ordering it to a third reading, Monday, June 4. Mr. Philips, of Massachusetts, Resolved, That the president of the United States be requested to lay before this house any cominu. nication which may have been received by him, or by the secretary of war, from the governors of the states of Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee, or Alabama, on the proposition of John Ross and his associates for extending the time of removing the Cherokee Indians from those states. be On motion of Mr. Owens, Resolved, That the committee on manufactures expediency of remitting the duty stipulated to be paid by the Iron Steamboat Company of Georgia on iron imported by said company for the construction of an iron steamboat. construction of two iron steamboats; also, into the On motion of Mr. Chambers, Resolved, That the committee on revolutionary claims take into consideration the propriety of providing by law for the issue of laud scrip for the satisfaction of such warrants for bounty land as have issued, or may hereafter issue, for revolution The Speaker laid before the house a letter from Mr. Kilgore wished to offer the following, but, its reception being objected to, he waived his purpose for the present: Mr. Cambreleng gave notice that, as soon as the call of the states for petitions should be finished, he "Resolved by the senate and house of representatives should move to take up the Indian hostility appro- of the United States of America in congress assembled, priation bill.

The resolution presented by Mr. Johnson, of| Louisiana, on the 19th March last, relative to modifying the judiciary system of the United States so as to abolish the chancery practice in the courts of the United States for the state of Louisiana, was considered and agreed to, with the following modification: "And that the said committee inquire also into the expediency of repealing so much of the 30th section of an act of congress entitled 'An act to establish the judicial courts of the United States,' approved September 24th, 1789, as dispenses with notice to parties, according to the provisions of said act, where they reside at a distance of more than one hundred miles from the place of trial." On motion of Mr. Lyon, Resolved, That the committee on revolutionary pensions inquire into the expediency of repealing the law requiring pensioners who fail to claim payment of their pensions for the space of two months, to apply at the treasury department, and of making provision by law for the payment at the most convenient pension agency, upon satisfactory proof of identity, and explanation of the cause of any delay in claiming payment, or of making such provision by law as will authorize the pension agents to give to pensioners orders or drafts on the treasury department for the amount due them. Mr. Sergeant rose, and asked the chairman of the committee of ways and means at what time it was his intention to bring forward the bill to establish an independent treasury? Mr. Cambreleng replied, in the course of next week. On motion of Mr. Cambreleng, the Indian hostility appropriation bill was again taken up, with the amendments reported by the committee of the whole. Mr. Wise took the floor, and went at length into the subject, sustaining the amendments, opposing the bill as reported, and reviewing all the arguments on the other side, with much earnestness and minuteness. Mr. Wise was followed by Mr. Graham, of North Carolina, who expressed the opinion that there was now but one alternative; the Cherokees must leave the country; and that extermination would be the necessary consequence of the non-removal, forthwith, of those people. He was opposed to the amendment of Mr. Bell, and in favor of that presented by direction of the committee on Indian affairs. Mr. Biddle went at length into an examination of the manner in which the late campaigns against the Indians have been conducted, and into a general opposition to the bill. Mr. B. was followed by Mr. Downing, of Florida. When Mr. D. had concluded his remarks in defence of the bill, and in response to those gentlemen who had reviewed his foriner speech upon this question, many cries of question were raised from all parts of the house; in the midst of which, Mr. Cushman, of New Hampshire, rose and said that he should like very well to be permitted to vote for the amendment of fered by direction of the committee on Indian affairs; but really he could see no prospect of any immediate termination of this wide and protracted debate, save by the action of that very useful rule of the house, the previous question; which he moved accordingly. Mr. Wise here asked the Chair what that question would be? Add to the end of the bill the following: Mr. Graham, of North Carolina, asked if an Mr. Cambreleng here took leave to say to the appropriated out of any money in the treasury not otherwise appropriated." Mr. McKay asked for a division of the question, and that the first section of the amendment be acted on first. Mr. Cushman demanded the yeas and nays on this amendment. Ordered.

The Chair replied, on the engrossment and third The question then recurred on the following reading of the bill, without the amendments report-amendment proposed by the committee on Indian ed to the house by the committee of the whole. affairs: Mr. Hamer then demanded whether or not either "Sec. of the amendments reported by the committee of the whole had been adopted? The Chair responded in the negative: and the house then refused to second the previous question, 62 only voting (by tellers) in the affirmative, the noes not counted. Then ensued most deafening and vociferous cries for the question! from the house, and order! from the Chair. Mr. Biddle then got the floor, and responded to some passages in the remarks of Mr. Downing. Mr. Campbell, of Tennessee, vindicated the Tennessee volunteers in the Seminole campaigns against the imputation of having refused to do their duty, and to labor, which had been thrown out by general Jesup, in some of his official communications, and which had been drawn into this argument. After he finished, a few more words of explanation ensued between Messrs. Biddle and Downing, when the question was taken on the amendments proposed by the committee of the whole. Seven amendments, going materially to reduce the appropriations as originally demanded, were adopted, as reported by the committee of the whole, on motion of Mr. Cambre eng. And then the question recurred upon the following amendment, as offered by Mr. Bell: And be it further enacted, That the further sum of one million forty-seven thousand and sixty-seven dollars be appropriated, out of any money in the treasury not otherwise appropriated, in full, for all the objects specified in the third article of the supplementary articles of the treaty of eighteen hundred and thirty-five, between the United States and the Cherokee Indians, and for the further object of aiding in the subsistence of said Indians for one year after their removal west: Provided, That no part of the said sum of money shall be deducted from the five millions stipulated to be paid to said tribe of Indians by said treaty: And provided further, That the said Indians shall receive no benefit from the said appropriation unless they shall complete their emigration within such time as the president shall deem raasonable, and without coercion on the part of the government "Sec. And be it further enacted, That, for satisfying all claims for arrearages of annuities, for supplying blankets and other articles of clothing for the Cherokees who are not able to supply themselves, and which may be necessary for their comfortable removal, and for medicines and medical assistance, and for such other purposes as the president shall deem proper to facilitate the removal of the Cherokees, one hundred thousand dollars be $100,000, to be used as secret service money, to buy up the Cherokee delegation, and for such other purposes as, in his discretion, the president should see fit to apply it to. These were his objections. Mr Thompson suggested to the gentleman from North Carolina, (Mr. McKay,) so to modify his objection to this section as to prescribe the administering of lobelia instead of calomel, as a cheaper drug, and so to carry out this small business of objecting to petty expenses. As to the gentleman's dread of placing secret service money in the hands of the executive, where, he would ask, were those apprehensions of the gentleman slumbering, when the motion to place a certain 3,000,000 of dollars in the hands of the president of the United States, to be used at his discretion, was pending in that house? Mr. Everett explained, and defended this section. The house then adopted the second branch of this amendment by the following vote. YEAS-Messrs. Adams, Alexander, H. Allen, J. W.

On motion of Mr. Bouldin, it Resolved, That Monday, the 11th of June inst., after the hour of 12 o'clock M., be assigned for the consideration of all such matters of business as relate to the District of Columbia, which may be then pending before the house. The whole of this day having, by resolution, been set apart for the consideration of business relating to the territories, the house went into committee of the whole, (Mr. Sergeant in the chair,) and proceeded to the consideration of the territorial bills, upon which the whole day was spent. [The most important of these bills was that from the senate to divide the territory of Wisconsin into two territories and establish the territorial government of Iowa. A motion to strike out the first section of this bill was negatived.] The house then took up and passed the senate bill for establishing a university in Wisconsin; the bill of this house making certain roads in Florida; the bill for completing the public buildings of Wisconsin; the Florida railroad bill, (with the amend ment reported by the committee of the whole:) the mated and earnest debate, (to be given hereafter,) The motion to print was followed by a most anibill for ihe making of certain roads in Wisconsin, taking a general range among the various topics (as amended;) and the bill to reorganize the terri-less or more remotely connected with this subject; rial government of Florida. in which debate Messrs. Webster, Norvell, Wright, Benton, and Niles, participated. The bill granting land for the Milwaukie canal, to which amendments had been offered in committee, came next in order. Mr. Petrikin moved its postponement till to-morrow, and that the bill, with amendments, be printed; which motion prevailed. Mr. Bronson moved to go again into committee of the whole, in further pursuance of the special order. Several of the bills were ordered to a third reading, and then finally passed. But the Iowa bill was laid over for further consideration. The house adjourned at five o'clock. Wednesday, June 6. After the transaction of A motion was here made to adjourn, but was some businesss of minor importance, the senate withdrawn, for the purpose of allowing the Speaker bill, as amended by the committee of the whole, to present an executive communication, in reply to and reported to the house, providing for the appoint-a resolution of Mr. Grantland, with regard to the Mr. Webster in the course of the debate, gave nomajority of the committee, he would ask leave to tice that, in consequence of his differing from the introduce a bill to provide further for the collection of the revenue, embodying his views of what ought to be done on this subject.

The bill making appropriations for the suppression of Indian hostilities for 1838, and for the payment of arrearages for 1837, having been read a third time, and the question being on its passage, Mr. Benton spoke at length on various topics connected with the bill, particularly eulogizing those who have been concerned in the management of the Florida war. Mr. Preston spoke briefly in reply, and in regard to certain strictures on his remarks of yesterday, published in the Globe of last night, some of which, Mr. P. stated, were in the very words used in the senate by the senator from Georgia. Mr. Lumpkin expressly denied all knowledge of that publication before it appeared. The bill was then passed without dissent; and, after an executive session, the senate adjourned. In the house, Mr. Johnson, of Louisiana, asked leave to introduce the following resolution: Resolved, That the committee on the judiciary be instructed to inquire into the causes of the failure of the last term of the circuit court of the United States for the state of Louisiana, and into the conduct of the United States district judge of the said state in attempting to remove the clerk of the said district and circuit courts without sufficient cause. Mr. Chapman objected; and Mr. Lincoln claimed that the special order of the day (respecting the public buildings) be enforced. Mr. Chapman then withdrew his objection to Mr. Johnson's motion, and the resolution was offered and adopted. The house next took up the special order, being the bill providing for the removal of the treasury building. The house went into committee of the whole, (Mr. Pope in the chair,) and resumed the consideration of that bill. The pending motion was to strike out the enacting clause of the bill, (to reject it.) Mr. Naylor was entitled to the floor, and went at some length into a defence of the bill. Mr. Keim opposed the bill, replying to the remarks of Mr. Lincoln made on a former day. Mr. Pratt, of the committee, sustained the bill, in reply to Mr. Keim, making statements with a view to show that economy, and the necessity of the case, required the taking down of the buildings. Mr. Lincoln defended the bill, in reply to all the objections against it, until the hour of one o'clock arrived, at which time the committee, as a matter of course, rose, and the Speaker took the chair. The chairman reported progress, and asked leave to sit again. This was debated by Messrs. Rencher, Mercer, | Mr. Marvin moved to suspend the call. Mr. Duncan demanded the yeas and nays. Mr. Marvin Messrs. Aycrigg, (absent from town,) Birdsall, Later from Barbadoes.

The question being taken on Mr. Lincoln's motion, it was decided in the affirmative, the rules suspended, and the house immediately went again into committee of the whole, (Mr. Pope again taking the chair,) and the debate proceeded. After Mr. Lincoln had concluded his remarks, (which, with the rest of the debate, we will hereafter lay before our readers,) the question was taken upon the motion to strike out the enacting clause of the bill. After three attempts, a quorum having been found present, this was decided in the negative: Ayes 59, noes 66. The amendment of Mr. Lincoln, being as follows, was then adopted: "Strike out in the 2d section all after the word 'appropriated,' where it first occurs, and insert; Any unexpended balances remaining in the treasury from former appropriations to the construction of a treasury building, not exceeding $150,000, in addition to the materials to be taken from the treasury buildings.'" the attention of the United States circuit court for A curious case was, at our last dates, engaging the Louisiana district.

The old clerk refused to give up his papers. On the opening of the circuit court, judge McKinley, of the supreme court, took his seat as the presiding judge. The question came up for adjudication, and, after an able argument, the court divided; judge McKinley deciding that the removal, without cause, was illegal; and judge Lawrence still maintaining his right, as resulting from his power to appoint. The case will, therefore, have to go to the supreme court for final decision. Late from Vera Cruz. By the barque Ann Eliza, capt.
