Mr. Cave Johnson moved that all debate I‘ “as 3 l"°-"d and ""t"'5"’an ”‘e vw‘
on the Texas question, now before the com-
mittee of the Whole, terminate on Monday
at 2 o'clock.
Mr. Simple moved to lay ‘the Resolution
on that-.ib|e_ Upon this the yeas and nays
were called——yeas l2.7, nays 54. So the
motion was laid on the table.
Mr. Milton Brown. introduced a joint Res
iolution for the Annex-ation_ ofTexas. Read
twice and referred to the committee of the
Whole. ’
The House then went into committee of
the whole on the State of the Union.
Mr. Tibbatts having the floor, spoke his
hour in favor of annexation, butwhich ofthe
numerous schemes he advocated did not ap-
ear.
Mr. Brinkerhoff of Ohio, then obtained
.the floor. He. had hoped that this measure-
would be permitted to lie over till the next
adininistration shall have come into power.
Not a single Representative on thisifloor had
been elected to act on this question.
He riliculed thcidea of our going into
the support ofthis measure dazzled by the
colors in which we have had pointed the
blessings ofSlavery, the beauties of bon-
dage, and the nitisic of chains. He was not
in love with thatde.-id and buried treaty
which had been galvanized on this floor in
all its ill looks and cootortions.
_ He opposed annexation on account of the
debts which it would settle on this country.
It would do very well for those who belong
ed to repud‘i.iting_ States,forit is said that there
was no man so independent as a pauper on
the town. But for honest men who wish to
pry their debts, and are already overburden-
ed, they want to contract no more—-particu-
larly since Texas knew neither the amount
of her debts nor the adequacy of her resour
ces to meet them. He would oppose every
measure for annexation till her debts were
provided for. -
Gentleman talk about expansion of gener-
osity. And their generosity was to take the
whole, give us (the free states ofthe North).
one halfof the territory, as territory to be
free from slavery, and we may then agree-—
before that, we will not agree to Annexation.
Unless slavery be excluded our young men
will not go there to dig and grub by the side
of your slaves._ It must come in if at all on
equitable terms. His colleague, Mr. Dean,
may advocate this. He (Mr. B.) was a
Dutchman his colleague was a Yankee.-
He (Mr. D.) might oppose the interests of
his friends from the East—mioht foul his
own nest if he chose-—-but be (Mr. B ) would
oppose the scheme. '
Mr. B. here yielded the floor to Mr.Dean
for an explanatibn. Mr. Dean gotso excited
in explaining—-swinging his arms around
him and thumping’tha.d.esk with his clench-
ed fist, varying theaciidii sometimes by sha-
king it at.Mr. B. that thi_3_ reporters could
hear nothing amidtlie roars and shouts of
laughter, but the rap of the chairman’s ham-
mer. ‘
Mr. Dean having taken his test, Mr.
Brinkerhoffclosed his speech by making a
stinging allusion to the language of a South-
ern gentleman, that no northern President.
either VVbig or locoloco, had ever been re-
elected. This envenomed sting of insult was
necessary to bring the north back to a sense
of its own degredation.
‘Others miglit be bullied in, in this way,
but as for me,’ said Mr. B. °I’d rather be a
dog and bay the moon than such a Roman.’
Mr. Binkerhoffs speech wasa hard dose
for the locofocos to swallow, particularly for
those who draw their arguments for Annex-
ation from the result of the recent Election.
Mr. Chappell of Georgia then took the floor
and spoke his hour in favor of Annexation.
Mr. Holmes of South Curolinzi, then ob-
tained tho floor and the conimittce rose.
The House then adjourned till to morrow.
In the Senate, Mr. Foster of Tennessee in-
troduced a bill defining the terms on which
Tex-is might be annexed to the UlllLl’dSlrll(‘S
which was read twice and referred to the
Committeeon Foreign Affairs. It is the
same as introduced in the House by fvlr. Mil-
ton Brown. It provides for the division of
the Territory into Free and slave Territory.
After the reception of some petitions the Sen-
ate went into Executive Session with closed
doors.
Tucson, Jan. 14.
Mr. Haywood. of N. C. brought forward
his project of Aniiexiition, in the Senate, to-
day. His object was to effect a compromise.
He proposed that over the proper limits of
Texas. the jurisdiction ofthis country be ex-
tended, according to the ordinance of 1787
for the government of the Northwestern Ter-
ritory, with an exception as to slavery, and
providing thatbeyond the parallel oflatitude
34, there shall be no involuntary servitude,
nor west of longitude l00.
After Mr. Haywood finished, Mr. More-
bcad of Ky. made some remarks, ilie amount
of which was that he was disposed to give
the subject a candid and fair consideration,
but that he hoped that, in whatever we did,
we would have a just regard to precedent
He doubted whether M r. Ilaywoo-d’s plan
was constitutional or conformable to prece-
dent, though Mr. H. had borrowed the plan
from an ordinance adopted by Congress un-
der the Confederation. _
Mr. H-iywood’s bill was referred to the
Committee on Foreign Affairs.
Mr. Sevier inquired of the Committee of
Foreign Affairs when a report might be ex-
pected from them. as to the question of the
annexation of Texas.
Mr. Archer replied, that the committee
had considered the matters referred to them,
but owing to the number of projects offered
here and in the House, they could not report
on any one. They had determined to wait
till the House hid adopted some project, or
had refused to adopt any.
Mr. Merrick ofleretl a resolution, direct-
ing the Post Master General to report to the

Mr. Boivlin of '.\"lo., spoke in f.ivor of the
measure, because the acquisition of territo-
ry was a right essential to national sover-
eignty. .
Mr. Hamlin and Mr. Severance followed
against the measure.
VVhen the last named gentleman conclu-
ded, there was a l.l'8fnt‘n(l0llS rush for the

eager to speak. Among. them was old Mr.

As soon as the House met.this rnorning,a
resolution wasofiered by Mr. Preston King.
of N. Y, for the appointment of a Select
Committee to investigate the late affair of
honor between Mr. Clinguian and M r. Yan-
cey, and to report it resolution for tbecxpul-
sion of the p.rtii-s.
A motion to lay the proposition on the ta-
ble was los', 78 to 85.
A debatethen followed which did no good
except to shew, what we all knew before,
that the House was incapable of inaintaiining
and defending order and frt-eilom of speech
among its nieinbers.
An old nieniber remarlced, ll1~Il the House
would not expel meuibers evin for fighting
on the floor.
Mr. Rayner and Mr. P.iyne spoke very

The resolution yesterday indicated by M r.

FRIDAY, Jan. 17.-
The Senate did not sit to day. They have
little or nothing to rlo,—the House having
iiiade no business for them.
As soon as the House met,‘ to day, the
Coniniittee on Accounts made a Report on
the condition of the Contingent Fund of
the House. They say, that ‘it appears that
by requisitions from the Clt.-rk, the Wl'l0lt-'
amount Of $232,000 has been drawn from
ihcTrcasury; and, upon inquiry at the Pat.
riotic flank, where the Clerk, has kept his
deposit of public money, the (‘0l'lll1’llll8c3 learn
thattbere is a balance to his credit of about
$13,000 This Slllll,’(.lt‘_illJCl(‘(l from the un-
e-xpend-d balanci uf $60,000 leaves ii de ti
ciency of $47,000, which may be still fur-
ther reduced by the sum of $52,500, which
the committee think will cover all the pay-
ments made by the Clerk since the corti-
inenceinent of the session; so that the actual
deficiency, as nearly as can be ascertained,
amounts to $44,600, the Government has no
security except the personal responsibility
of the Clerk .
In tracing the disposition of these funds,
the committee have learned that, at different
times since the month of June last, the clerk
had advanced to Dr. E. J. Woodward, a
produce dealer in Mount Vernon. Ohio, the
sum of$30,000; $2,000 was paid to Levi D.
Slamm. of New York, and about $2 750
to Thomas J. Purdy, cashier of the Sav-
inrzs Institute, Columbus, Ohio.
On motion of Cave Johnson it was ordered
after-some debateon its propriety, that the

As a reason for not attending the com i‘-
