CONGRESSIONAL.

Correspondence of the Baltimore Clipper. Wasiuxoto.", Momdav, Doc G, lisll. At noon to day iho Memberi of tho two II .uses of Congress assembled in their respective Chambers at the Capitol. "Once more there i a gathering-" Tho first regular BCMion of Congress commenced to today; and so far as the wetthur is concerne.l, our prospects aro bright and cheering. The wind is miner keen, Lut tho eky is clear as crystal, and the son is looking down from his cornt'ur table quarters liko the eye of a ItriiJu on her wedding morning. The ladies are out in droves, and eorno of them aro eyeing tho member with wonderful keenness. Surely they nr.; not looking fur delinquent sweethoarH. Ah, l;i!ies, never depend on tho promises of t !iti' i mis. In tho House of Representatives tho abolition war has commenced in right earnert. No sooner had the roll been called, a quorum nscei tuned to bo present, thau Mr. Cst Johnson, of your State, clfered a resolution proposing tint tho roles arid orders of the 2lhh Congress bo lor t!ie present adopted bv tho II miso. lie expressed a ii";! inn thn reuort of the Solect Committee on tho Holes, lliii II HIS(! 1 .l. - made nt tho closo of tho fist session of C-mgress, would te speedilv taken up mid dispo.-ed of, when tho House could m iko an y roles it thouybt proper. Mr Advma S'r:iti! upon his foef, ami moved to amen 1 by excepting ih Mist llilo, whi'-h relates to abolition petitions. Ho sai l he w is willing io adopt f.r the present iho rules of tho 1 .at Conirons but lb it. Mr. Kiilim-ro hoped tint tho II iso would not think of proceeding to tho discussion of m i-X'-i ling a subject ns uboIitioni?tn, without firt ud.itting soino roles for its regulation, oiherwue there was no knowing when or where the matter would end. Mr. Stanley moved to amend by adopting tho rules of tho last session for 15 days or until tho report ttf the Committee, or tho rules shall bo disposed of, and on this he called the previous question. Mr. l'roffitt commenced a speech shewing that tho calling of iho provious question was unjust, inasmuch as its adoption would prevent him nod others from giving their viuws on iho amendment, Tho Speaker decided that Mr. I n 'full was not lii order. Mr. Adams contended tint the previous question could not bo called, nnd appealed from tho decision of the Chair. O i a voto bving taken, iho decision of tho latter was aHirmcd, Yens 117, iiuv 17. The atns-ul.iieiit f Mr. Stanley was then rejected by a volo of NT to b-J Tho question was next taken on thn amendment f Mr. A.I ion, imJ it was al.-o i j ,ct.:il. Yeas HI, nay h N7. Tho question then was on tho resolution first olTorod by Mr. Johnson. i At this stago of tho pr.-coe. liners, Mr. Wise. from a joint committee which had been appointed lo wait upon tho President, announced that the latter had signified his intention of forwardtrg his annunl message at 12 i.'clo. k to morrow. j The llwiso then "''j turned.

The Secretary of Senate read tho names of the Senators present yesterday, with the j turnnl of yesterday's proceedings when Mr. Bi)iird, of Delaware, nnnouiKtod that tho ooiwnittne chosen yesterday by the Senate to watt on the President had attended to thai duly, and received for nn answer lhal the President would thisdiy communicate in the Senate a message in wriiinir. The President il en laid tht? Annual Message before the Senate through his Private Secretin v. Robert Tyler, Esq The Me ssage wus read by the Secretary of the i Mr. M.njj:ii, of North Cimlini, moved that i the Moss.ijjo and accom;an ii.tf documents be , laid on tho table, and printed. Tlio motion pre- , vailed. j Mr. Smith, ol InJiim, moved lint tho nsunl 1 extra number bo jinnfed, which was ,"00 copies j of the Mos.iarro ulone, and 1 ,."V,)'J copies of the Messajre and accompany i n gr documents. Mr. Benton, upon tho motion, commenced somo rem irks in opposition lo it. Mr. H. snid ho could not voto for the extra numbor while that one fenturo was contained in it in referenco to tho currency. Ho referred to that pari of tho Message which relates to the Fiscal Aijcnt. Looking over il us it w,ts read ho aw that tho President gave tho outline of it, and then left its details to tho Secretary of the Treasury. I apprehenJ said. Mr. B. tint no dotai's of such a plan can meet in any part of it my npproh ition. I regard ilas ll.ijrantly unconstitutional and eminently danger;. us to tho country. It pp. posed that tho Federal Government would isue paper nuney. As '.he cons'itulion was ('rafted it nave no power to omit bills of credit, or lo issue p per money. The plan proposed to do this was struck out of tho draft of the Constitution and it was proposed here Lir tho purpose making the Government a hard money government. Hero was a proposition to do not on'v what was not granted but what was denied. So u!s cf bills of Exchange to aid commerce. This wa9 anew invention utterly unknown to Geti'l Hamilton when he proposed a Bank of the United States. Il was utterly unknown lo bim and ihem. It was a plan invented by Mr. Biddlo for the purpose of making the Government a furnisher of Bills of Exchange. Mr. Biddle brought it forward for this purpose when in the city a few weeks ince. 1 ul.eny oi.j.-cl to allowing uus govern-1 cut in occoiiio n uriiuucr in ii in't-. power is not to be found in ihe Constitution I he I nor ! wt'? " W q "Va,t"1 1 ' r . j uc 11 wo ate canto upon .0 iuiiii-11 e.v.(.uangc lor commerce, we might tto caned upon j io lurimu drafts for iho farmers. This whs utterly unknown to the Constitution, and everv wav pernicious. Whatij it. s..i l Mr. Benton, but the Bntith Exchequer system revived? It begun with iho first George, was taken by tho seond, and lingered until now, and by it iho Government of Great Britain has been cheated to tho amount cf 0,000,000 sterling;.

It had gono on from George lha Second, who borrowed it from Sir It ibert Wulpole. Tho other svstem was borrowed from Mr. Biddle here, a few

weeks ago, and by hiia wag furnished without doubt. But this is not the time, said Mr. B. to discuss it. Formeily, tho message was gone into regularly, and contributed to regularity or debate attcrwarcs but this was not the proper occasion, nor would it be treating the President with respect to do so. Bit I could not, he added, permit the message to go through tho Chamber without expressing my repugnance to tho system it proposed. We abandon in it the hard money government of our ancestors, ari l go back to iho lime, of Wulpole, and tho high Tory tunes of Queen Anne. We go far beyond whit Gen. Hamilton advocated in his Biiik, for he utterly repudiaieJ exchange. I concur with him, said Mr. B. iti this, and sav these few words upon this occasion, because I could noi see the proposition go through here to luroi.-h this government with Exchange rind paper money without expressing my abhorrence of it. I shall avail myself of tho earliest appropriate i . . .... t opportunity to suinin oy argument ami ny reier ! cooes the views which I havo this day prcsnited. Thi J is a tormal proposition to chango tho hard i money system of Government into lha paper ! money sysfem of Great Britain, and which lias j swelled her debt from 21 to MOO millions sterling Tno extra copies wero thpu ordered and the Senate with jjt further debate adjourned. IIOUSK OF REPRESENTATIVES. At noi.ii i he Private Secretnry of tho President presented the Message to the House. It was ihen read by the Cleik, after which Mr. Wiso moved that it bo luid on the table, ! and that ten thousand copies be printed. Mr. Mason desired to ask a question. He l wished to know whether the prospectus of the Congressional Globe, which he saw appended to the primed copy of the Message was intended to be included id the motion of the gentleman from Virginia. Mr. Wise said his motion referred solely to the manuscript Messngo sent by the President to the Speaker of the House. j Mr. M '.sjii ihen proceeded to express his as- ; tonishment that tho prospectus of the Congres- ! moii iI (ilobo should havo been ocrmitted to bo noi . . . -r tended to the printed copies of iho Message. lie desired to know by what authority Blair and Rives had committed this outrugeupon the dignity of tho House und its proceedings. Mr. Wise explained that the copies of the Mes sage referred to by Mr. Ma son wero not those printed by the official printers to the Houe. Ii was found that a sufficient number of tho of.iciul copies had not been forwarded to tho House. Owing to this the boys had procured a number of copies printed bv Messrs, Blair &. Rives, who, as mutter of right, hid added their prospectus. Theirs was not tho official copy, nnd ho hoped ,i,c gcntlcmin from Ohio was satisfied. Some rather hard words then passed between Messrs. Wise nnd M ison in relation to tho posiun (,f tjlrt President. Mr. Mason intimated thit Mr. Wise wa about ,,e ,,),. gentleman who could give nn explanation jn r, ,t jori to whether the President had authorised Jji4jr Rives to append their prospectus or not j Mr. Wiso complained of tno unprovoked and jStirp.ised at the ohl cry of 'peifidy and treason" being again raised. Mr. Mason asked Mr. Wiso how it was that i Messrs. Blair & Rives camo into possession of tho manuscript Message, sons to have it printed ! us soon ns the official printer. Mr. Wise endeavored lo show that it had always ; been the custom to furnish manuscript copies lo : tho city papeit. Finally the motion of Mr. Wise prevailed, j RULES AND ORDERS. I The resolution of Mr. Johnson, providing that ; the rules of tho 26;h Congress shall be adopted at ; tho present session until ihe Report of the Select j Committee on rules bo disposed of, was then calI led up. i After some debate of no interest, Mr. J. modi tied his resolution so as to make the Report of j the Select Committeo the special order on and nf(er Thursday next After nn ineffectual attempt by Mr. Adams to renew his amendment in relation to the'Jlst rule, the resolution r.f Mr. Johnson was adopted yens 17, navs, K. Tho Sepaker was then authorised to appoint the committee, after which the House adjourned. From the Baltimore Son.

Mr. Huntington, after a shnrt interval, rose and inquired if there was any business before the jchairf The president pro tcm., replied in Ihe , negative. Mr. Huntington then moved that tiio S.-iiiio arj v.irn, which was Agreed to without a dn isMM, and the Senate ntlj -turned. nt20 minutes pr.st uelvc o'clock. I HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Alter tho Journal had been read, Mr. Tillinghast oil"-; red a resolution requiring the appoint ment of a jiiat committee to superintend the ex- ! penditures for the Library. As Mr. T. is a verv mooerate man, and never asks any thing unreasonable, his resolution was agreed to. i The Hon. Mr. Smith, member elect from Virginia, in the place of Mr. Binks, appeared, was sworn, and took his seal. A very amusing debate there arose about the right of two members, Messrs. Carruihers and Dawson, of Louisiana, to a certain seat occupied ny Mr. bergeant at lnt session Mr. Cirruthprs stated, that before Mr. Ser-! j gcant left, he, Mr. C, had obtained the permis- ' Slcn of ,h,t genlIeman t0 cxcharjre.

(Grenit iauitor.) fr. ) tiwson was understood to armie that Mr. bergeant had no right to leave his eat to any 1 body. He, Mr. 1)., had taken the seat in question - since his arrival at the present session, nnd havip'j done so he claimed a right to it. He had no objection, however to leaving the matter to the decision of the House. After somo sharp Ehooting oa the subject, by the counsel cf the respective patties, wbrch cau3-

'cd considerable mirih, the following resolution was offered. j Resolved, That the Hon. J. Carruihers is en-

titled to the seat occupied at tho last session of i Congress by the Hon. John Sergeant it appear-j ing in evidence that the said gentlemen made! jnn exchange of seats, and that such is in con for- j . mity with the usual practice ot members The question was then decided by veas and nays, as follows: yeas 122, nays. 51. So the resolution was adopted and Mr. Carruihers declared to be entitled to his seat. A resolution was then adopted, authorizing the clerk to furnish tho members with stationery. A resolution was also adopted, providing for the election of a chaplain. The House then, after being in session one hour, adj turned. TOTAL ABSTINENCE.

"Fortune was mine, and I mounted her car; Pleasure from virtue beckoned me (ar Onward I went ns an avalanche down, And the sunshine of fortune was changed to a frown!

The Legislature and the Whig Parti; On joint ballot parties are equally balanced in the present Legislature. Whigs havo control of the Senate, and the Loco Focos of the House. Ours being a republican government, nnd all power COmiDg directly from the people, they expect that ' occasionally their agents Should make a close CY- j ainination into the official acts of those to whom powtr may be entrusted. Acting in accordance with this popular wish, his Excellency, Gov. Bigger, in his annual communication to the representatives of the people recommended and urged the closest and severest scrutiny into the official ac!3 of all in the service of the State. Mr. Eirnleston, in the Senate, proposed, and a " r ,k . ii e. .

"BE JUST AND FEAR NOT." fjr-We are requested lo announce SAMUEL DELONG as a caudidate for Sheriff at the net August election. 0J We aro indebted lo our friends of the Dayton Journal and the editors of the Baltimore Sun, lor early copies of the President's message, and to the Sun fur ai extra containing news brought by the Arcadia; for which, to us, great favors we are sincerely thankful. The Cincinnati Gazette, speaking of a larirT uses the follow ing la.iguage : It is the truth, and nothing but the truth. 1 ne rresulcnt's .Message was earned from t ashington . t- i , , i, , to Cincinnati in lorty nine hours; and from Baltimore to ' rhiiadelphia Jj miles m three hours anil seventeen ininutes. We are indebted to the Hon. David Wallace and the j Hon. Andrew Kennedy for copies of the Message of the President; and the Messrs.

Tho new s from China is unimportant The Queen Dow. erage Adelaide is dangerously ill. The fueen Victoria has given birth lo a Prince of Whales. W e take the liberty of making a brief extract from a private letter received from a friend in Henry County. "We are looking, though without much interest, (or John Tyler's Exchequer (or wdiatever it may be) plan for transacting the fiscal affairs of the government. The recent defeats ol our party through the Tyler influence have almost convinced some of us, that in order to be successful in the next presidential election we must give Henry Clay the go-by again ; &range ourselves (ie the whig party) under the tl'ig ol the hero ot Chippewa; this is a humiliating alternative ; not tint Scott is unworthy ; but because Clay for moral and intellectual worth, and in thort, every other attainmem that should be valued by a free people, has no equal j in the present age; but the Locofocos must not be supposed I to triumph through our divisions, "7ie union of the uhigs "' fe sake the Unionf is as appropriate a motto now os ever it was, though he who first uttered tho noble eentij mcnt has aposLUiztd, its purity is only exhibited in bolder relirf when placed in contract with the character of its ( author." j W e applaud with a flowing heart, the spirit manifested I in tho nbove extract; hut we will make one suggestion. In case it should bs deemed expedient to give up Henry , Clay, why not take John M'Lian? Official Shaving We have heard it said that tlieTyler appointed Marshall of this State, paid the witnesses in the case of Otey, in the U. States District Court, in all kinds of trash, shinplasters and doubtful currency ; upon whi'di it has been presumed that he sold the tunds received from the (overninent for a premium, and received in payment depreciated currency at a discount, thereby making n handsome operation, or what under a locofooo dyuasty would be called an official perquisite'. If these surmises be true. Mr. H aims should be displaced and an honest man put in his place. If uch things are done in the commencement of an administration, what would not be done after four years of power! We hope Mr. Ilanna or his friends will corrects us, if we have been misinformed, or arc incorrect in our conclusions.
