CONGRESSIONAL.
Correspondence ofthe Tribune.
, Moan IY. Jan.9.
In the House of Representatives to day.
Mr Bolts gave notice" that tomorrow he
should bring forward, according to his notice
of last Session, articles of impeachment of
the President.
Mr. Fillmore, from the committee of
ways and means, to whom was referred the
President’s plan of Exchequer, made a re-
Mr. Fillmore from the comm. of ways and
means, reported billsmaking appropriations
for the half calendar year, commencing lst
January and ending 30th June, 1843, and
for the fiscal year, commencing lst July,
1843, and ending 30th June, 1844.
Mr. Botts, after several unsuccessful nt-
tempts to get the floor, finally caught the
eye of the Speaker. and inquired whether it
was now in order to introduce the proposition
of which he had given notice, asa privileged
question.
The Speaker replied that it was.
Mr. Everett appealed front the decision.
insisting that Mr Bott’s resolution must
take the usual order of business and object»
ing to proceeding to any other subject until
the bankrupt repeal was disposed of.
i‘€_‘l\dr. Botts said he proposed to introduce to
the consideration of the House charges of
corruption, high criminal misdemeanor com-
mitted by the acting President ofthe United
States, which he stood prepared to prove by
testimony most conclusive and irresistable,
and to ask this House to appoint a committee
to inquire into the truth of these charges and
report the testimony brought forward to sus-
tain them, to this House with their opinion
whether any further action should be had
thereon. He stood prepared on solemn de-
liberation to prove every charge he had made
ansl he not only asked but demanded ofthis
House as its hutnblest member, to consider
thcm. It was a constitutional question of
the highest and gravest character. One
hundred Whig members of this House had
declared solemnly at the last session that they
considered John Tyler to have committed
impeachable offences, and he envied not the
tnan who was prepared to make vague and
indefinite charges. and was destitute of the
manliness and boldnt-ss to put them into a
tangible form.
Mr. Everett here interfered and renewed
his point of order, and points of order were
also started by Messrs. Wise, Cushing. Prof-
fit, Irwin, &c. (the members of ‘the Guard’
manifesting much nneisinsss) and debated
in an irregular manner amid much excite-
ment and confusion.
In the cotirse of this, at the call of Mr.
Wise, the charges were read (by. Butts) be-
ing nearly similar to those published by
him at the list session.
Mr. Everett withdrew his appeal.
Mr. Botts, after delay by many points of
order, again took the floor. He said he had
port, accompanied by a unanimous resolu-
tion ofthe couimittee that the plan ought not
to be a ‘opted. 'l‘he report is an elaborate
and able investigation of the subject of the
currency, and it will be read with much in-
terest.
Mr. Fillmore moved the printing of the
usual number and l0.000 extra copies of
both reports, and the postponement of the
further consideration of the subject,,an;l the
making itthe special order for two weeks
from to day.
On this an interesting debate arose and
extended through the day.
Mr. Cushing impugned the action of the
Committee of ways and means, and contend-
ed that it was their duty instead of reporting
a negative proposition. if they did not concur
in the plan of the President. to have reported
a modification or substitute for it. so that the
House might have the subject before them
for action in all its fortris.
Mr. Fillmore replied to Mr. Cushing. and
explained and defended the action of the
Committee of ways and means. He said
that by the terms of the resolution of the
House. referring the subject to them and
naming the Exchequer, it was made their
duty to report upon it specifically, and be-
lieving as he did and as a majority of_the
committee, did, that the plan of the President
was so inherently defective that it could not
be amended so as to make it worthy of sup-
port, they had conceived it their duty to
bring it before the House in this manner
(th it as it was due to the President, to the
country, and to the subject) a direct vote
should be taken upon it by yeas and noes.
He did not believe there ever hid been a
moment since its first introduction into Con-
gress when it could have received a single
vote in either House.
Mr. F. in reply to an inquiry said the
committee of ways and means did not intend
proposing any other plan at this session.
Mr. Marshall devoted his hour to defining
his position, which proved to be in the Web-
ster party, with little or no regard for Mr.
Tyler.
The subject was fu rther debated by Messrs.
J. R. Ingersoll, Pickens, Wise, Tnrney, J.
Campbell of S. C. &c. till adjournment.
in Senate to day petitions were presented
in favor oftho repeal of the Bankrupt law
by Messrs. Wright and Archer aad against
it by Messrs. Miller and Kerr.
Mr. Crittenden from the committee on the
Judiciary reported unfavorbly on the bill
refunding to Massachusetts the amount of
disbursements made by her during the last
war with Great Britain.
The bill to provide for the occupation and
settlement of the Oregon Territory, being
called up for its final passage,
Mr. Calhoun at some length. examined
the bill, the validity of our claims to that
country, and the history of our negotiations
on the subject with Great Britain. He ob-
jected toa portion of the bill. as violating the
treaty of 1827, as impolitic and dangerous,
and advocated its reference to a committee
for modification, and careful consideration.
Mr. Linn in an earnest manner replied to
the objections of Mr. C. and urged its pas-
sage.
Mr. Choate expressed his regret that he
could not approve the bill, anl coincide in
the objections of Mr. Calhoun. He reviewed
the subject in a very able and eloquent man-
ner and desired its proper modification and
passage.
Mr. Linn answered with much vehemcnce
denouncing the aggressions of Great Britain.
Messrs. McRobcrts and Henderson follow-
ed in a similar strain, urging the immediate
passage of the bill. _
’ Mr. Bayard proposed an amendment which
was objected to by Mr. Calhoun. The Senate
adjourned.
.TtJr:stuv, Jan. 10.
‘ A The Hortse this morning was full, and a
a large audience were waiting with anxious
interest the moving of Mr. Butts‘ on his im-
peachment project-
taken the step reluctantly, under a most
painful and imperitivc sense of Constitutional
obligation, and he desired to C0l'lflt’Cl no
man's fate with his on this question. If he
failed to establish the truth of his charges.
he asked to bear all the responsibility; let
it fall on him and no other man, friend or
foe, whig or democrat.
Mr. B. offered a resolution providing for
the appointment of a Select Committee of
nine members, with instructions diligently
to inquire into the truth of the charges pre-
ferred, to report to the House the testimony
trilten to establish them, with their opinion
whether the said John Tyler has actevl in
such manner as to require the interposition
of the Constitutional powers ofthe House—-
the committee to.have power to send for
persons and papers.
The rriain question was then taken, and
thciesolafort of Mr. Botts was rejected;
yeas 75, nays I27.
The motion to print Mr. Fillmore’s report
on the Exchequer was taken up, and the
debate on the subject was continuvd from
yesterday by Mr. Proffit in a "Guard”
speech, which had the effect of nearly clear-
ing the House. The House adjourned.
In Senate, Mr. Berri:-n from the Judiciary
committeejreported back the bill ‘for the re-
lief of Gen. Jackson,’ with amendments pro-
; over till to morrow.
viding for the refunding of the $l000 and
interest ‘in consideration of his distinguished
military service,” &c.
Mr. Walker, from the same committee,
made a counter rt-port, disagreeing to the
proposcd ameiidtrients on the ground that
they implied censure on Jackson, &c. The
reports were ordered printed.
The remainder of the day was consumed
in the consideration of private bills.
Wiznivnsnn, Jan.’ 11.
In the House, several attempts were made
to 'introtluce’n-solutions &c, out of order,
but Mr. Everett objected to everything ofthis
which he matiift-stt-d much impatience to
proceed. with.
The resolution relative to Gen. Jackson’:
fine came up in order, and was advocated
with much warmth by Mr. Wm. 0. Butler
of Ky.
The subject was laid over at the expiration
of the morning hour.
The tnotion to print extra copies of the
anti-Exchequer Report of Mr. Fillmore was
again taken up.
Mr. Underwood made a lucid and able
speech in condemnation of the sever:ilExchc-
quer Reports and in support of a U. S. B ink.
properly restricted, as the only adequate
measure of remedy for the distresses of the
country.
Mr. Everett, after brief remarks, in which
he stated the necessity of action on matters
before them, and especially on the Bankrupt
repeal, moved the previous question pend-
ing which the House adjourned.
In Senate, various petitions were pres» nt-
ed, among which was one by Mr. Benton
from N:-wYo‘rk city, for the ‘repeal of the
Bankrupt Law.
The joint resolution, authorizing the Sec-
retary of the Treasury to compromise with
the sureties of Gordon G. Boyed. late receiv-
er of public moneys at Columbus, Miss., was
rejected.
The bill to continue in force the several
acts for the relief of insolvent debtors was
passed. '
The Oregon bill was defended by Mr.‘
Tappan, who examined the history of‘ the
negoitations on the subject; enforced thejus-
tice of our claims. commented on the usur-
pations of Great Britain, and advocated the
immediate possession of the country by 50,-
000 western rifiemcn. or a sufficient noni-
ber to put the question for ever at rest.’
On motion of Mr Sevier, the bill was put
The Senate adjourned.
Titunsnn Jan, 12.
The Oregon bill was again taken up. Mr.
Sevier commented on the cncronchments of
*Great Britain, and advocated the adoption of
kind except the repeal ofthe Bankrupt law A
vigorous measures fortheir resistance and
for the settlement of this territory.
Mir. Benton followed in a pugnacious
speech of some length. He examined the
history of the negociations on this subject be-
tween our Government and Great Britain.
and censured Mr. Webster for the part he
has recently taken therein. The subject was
laid over.
A message was received from the Presi-
lent in answer to a resolution ofthe St-nate
calling for information with regard to the
Qviintuple treaty, the origin of the articles
with reference to the African squadron in the
treaty with Great Britain. etc. The Presi-
dent answers the various points of inquiry,
and saysthat the African squadron articles
‘were proposed to the British Minister by the
Secretary of State,unrler my express sanction’
from a desire to fulfill the obligations of the
U. S. Go-rernmt-nt under the treaty of Ghent.
for the suppr ssion of the slave trade. He
adds that these inquiries are believed to be
without precedent in the history of the rela-
tions bt-twt-en the Senate and the Executive
Department : that his own views as to the
expediency of the ratification had been con-
firmed by a vote ofupwards of fourfifths of
the Senators prt-sent, and that he had hither-
to flsittcred himself that his motives bad by
them been appreciated, ‘and that ifa nncessi-
ty should ever arise for any special explan-
ation or defence in regard to those motives,
it could scarcely be in that assembly itself.’ --
In the House, at the appeal of Mr. Fill
more, by universal consent, the question oti
the motion to print ten thousand extra copies
of his Exchequer Report was taken and car-
ried, and the consitle-ration of the resolution
itself (declaring that the Exchequer of the
Prcsidv-nt ought not to be adopted) was pos'-
poned--the previous question being with-
drawn, to a week from Monday.
The bill to repeal the Bankrupt law was
again taken up.
Mr. M:-iclicon made a political speech.
principally in reply to Mr. Cushing; in
which he gave his opinion that the Locofoco
party would not make a bid at Mr. C. s auc-
tion, that Mr. Tyler was obnoxious to them
on account of the principles of his adminis-
tration. as well as his agents employed for
conducting it and coultl not receive their
Support. He considered Mr. Webster still it
F--dt-r.ilist and entertained no hopes of bring-
ing him into the ranks of locofocoism.
Mr. Raynor made a thrillingly eloquent
and powerful speech, exhibiting in a mas-
terly style the drerl-lcction of tluty and the
total abandonment of the principle on the
part of the agents of the administration from
its chief head downwards. He stated that
be had voted for the Btinltrupt-L-iw, btit
should now vote for its repeal.
Mr. Marshall obtained the floor; and
after the presentation of certain "Executive
communications, the house adjourned.

lect first one and then the othcr,, from the
four candidates highest on the popular vote,
(Morton, Davis, Sewall, F. J;ick5on,) and
from these two the Senate must choose the
Governor. Now the Whigs can send up the
names of Davis and Sewell if they ‘please,
thus shutting out Morton, when the locbfoco
Senate would elect Sewall, (Abolition,) and
make a drawn battle of it between the two

probably attempt to do this; but we think a
fe_w Whigs will refuse, voting for Davis as
the first candidate, then either for Morton in-
stead of St-wall or declining to vote at all, in
which case Morton will be sent up and in-
stantly chosen. ’ There is of course no legal
or moral obligation to do this; btit some
Whigs will probably think it best to do so.
