CHAXU.O‘jDT£l: Tt’KSDAY, FEimUAHY 27, 18'i7. The nomination of Joel R. Poinseit, as Envoy Extraordinary and M inister Plcnipoientiar> to Congress at Tacubaya, has been confirmed by the Senate. Two incffeclual attempts were made by Mr. Benton to defeat it, but the “opposition” was not strong enough^ he then, whether consistently or not, we leave for his ad mirers to say, voted for it. The nomina tion was confirmed by a vote of 30 to 17. The Calhoun Committee made their report to the House of Representatives on the 13th instant. It entirely excul pates the Vice-President from the charge, which nobody believed,—of a partici pation in the Mix contract. In the ear ly stage of the investigation, it was dis covered, from the testimony adduced, ihui there was a secret partner in the contract; and the principal cause of their consuming so much time in the investi gation, was their endeavor to bring to light this hidden associate; but this has not been done in their report. The in quiry, however, was pushed so far as to kave no room for suspicion that the Vicc-President was the person alluded to. W.e should like to know who this secret partner is; and we trust he will yet be discovered. It will be perfectly in cha- racter with the United States Telegraph, and other kindred journals, to designate either Mr. Adams or Mr. Clay, as the in dividual—the charge will be no bolder, Tier more improbable, than the unblush ing falsehoods which daily adorn that l),rint. The report of the committee is of moderate length, and we shall endea vor to publish it in our next; but the pa pers and testimony accompanying it, it vill be out of our power to copy, as they j-will occupy, it is said, 3 or 400 pages The whole mass is to be printed; and the cost of printing, added fo the other ex- pences of the investigation, will make a pretty round sum to be paid out of the “people's money.” We consider the ivhole business as trifling, and the ex- lexperse attending it as a wanton waste of lilie public money. The man who made the charge, the 1 Vicc-President pronounced at the lime to be “ base”—the committee declare in Ihcir report, that “ he ought not be be- llieved on liis oath;” yet on a charge, jemanating from such, a source, an inves- [tigation was solicited—it has been made; Hid—the public treasury pays for it. FOE THE CATAWBA TOURirAE, Mr. Editor : The President’s Mes- age to Congress of the 5th inslant, is ouched in energetic language, and in he present cyisis, must be regarded as a document imperiously called for, in con sequence of the unprecedented rashness ^ and obstinacy oi Governor Troup. The ■ State of Georgia, like the other states of the Union, is an imperium in imperio. It )ias certain rights and privileges guaran teed by the constitution of the U. States; 1)ut beyond those it cannot go without sufVeimg the penalties prescribed by the «iipreme laws of the land. The conduct of Governor Troup is 'veil known to the American people, lie Jicrsisls in violating the supreme laws of 'the land; and it would appear from his conduct on several occasions, that he ^vishe^J to control the constituted authori ties of the union. In these desperate pro- ects, he has asked the ^ st/n/]jathien* of ilie other stales ! It cannot be supposed liat they will aid him in his factious views, to cxclte intestine commotions, and I Executive of the United ^>iates has nianiftsted to the world his incere desire to accommodate Georgia s far as he could consistently with the aws and usages of the country. Ilis foi - earance must command t!ie admiration f liis enemies. But in the present in- 'ance forbearance has ceased to be a vir- 'Je* therefore the President, as a dcr?iier m/7, has taken [)roper and constiiution- ;%l measures to execute the laws of the States—longer indulgence would ye viewed as a dereliction of duty. (Governor Troup is act- in accordance with the schemes of Political Jug.rrlcrST ^\ho have organized themsdv es to break down the present adnjinistralion at all hazards. —I still entertain the hope that this bu siness may be settled without putting the army in requisition ; but if it cannot, I am among those who wish all the means used, at the disposal of the President, to effect the object. mahcellus. The Legislature of New-York have re-elected Martin Van Buren, to repre sent that Slate in the Senate of the United States, for the term of six years, com mencing on the 4lh of March next. Gen- Van. Rensseluer had previously declined being a candidate. MR. CALHOUN. The Report of the Select Committee, appointed by the House of Representa tives at the request of Mr. Calhoun, will be found in our columns to-day. It will be perceived, as was universally foreseen, that Mr. Calhoun is fully acquitted of all the charges, either direct or implied, made against him by the notorious Mix. This latter character, by the by, must feel very uneasy in the isiiuation in which both the report of the committee and that of Mr. Floyd, have placed him before the community. As to the iwo reports, we are at a loss to’determine according to the “ Manual,” by what rule of Parlia mentary proceeding, the minority of a committee, and particularly a single in- dividuaJ, is permitted to make a report of the result of the investigations of the committee. The Report places Mr. Cal houn in rather an unfavorable liglit as to his reference to the Secretary of War, in his communication to the House of lle- presentatives, requesting the investiga tion. When Mr. Barbour read Mix’s letter to “Hancock” he pronounced it a base calumny; and as soon as he found that a copy of it had been published, he requested Col. Johnson to infoinn Mr. Calhoun of the manner in which the let ter had been received at the Department, and that it had been sent to Mr. Clark, its owner, through the Post-ofiice. Col. Johnson made this communication to Mr. Calhoun but a short time before the latter made his communication to the House, in which he, Mr. Calhoun, says, “It'appears, from its [a newspaper] state ment, that 1 am accused of the sordid and infa- iDous crime of participathig in the profits of a contract formed with tlie goverument, through the Department of War, while I was entrusted with the discharge of its duties, and that the accusation has been officially presented us the basis of iin official act of the War Dejjurtment, and consequently to be placed ammg Us records, as a lasting stigma on my character.'* Kow really, after receiving the com munication of Col. Johnson, that the let ter had been returned to Clark, we can not see how Mr. Calhoun could make such a statement as the above. The cull upon the House for the investigation was deemed entirely unnecessary by many of Mr. Calhoun’s best friends, particularly so after he had received the explanation from Mr. Barbour. We cannot avoid, on this occasion,— a very appropriate one, by the by,—ex pressing our regret, that so much of the attention of Congress, and indeed of offi cers of the government, should be taken up with the concerns of individuals, to the great detriment of the public busi ness. Every public man who feels him self aggrieved by a newspaper paragraph, must have a committee and take up the time of Congress with long speeches, to wipe Xhefottl slam off his fair character! When will the people of the U. States send such men to Congress as will attend to the business for which they 'yere sent there?—Bali. Patriot. • ofimporled ri'commendalions. Present appearances indicate that they will con tinue to pursue the policy of all nations in which manufactures have been planted, and flourished with success—protection in infancy, in order to secure a long and profitable life. We learn from a source entitled to full credit, that very extensive frauds are practised on our exporting merchants by British manufacturies. It is well known that large quantities of English goods are sent to this country for the purpose of being sold for exportation to the South Amei ican markets, 'I'he usual practice is to buy such goods by sample, and the packages would be injured by opening. Our informant states, he has recently received advices that goods, purchasedjin this way, which he had sent to the South American market, neither correspon ded in color, quality, or description, with the sample ! He adds, that other hous es have been imposed upon in the same manner. If the publication of the names of the parties implicated can put a check to such disgraceful proceedings, we have only to remark that our columns are open, on the proofs being submitted to us. N. K Gazette, The great case of C. Clark vs. the Cor poration of Washington, on an appeal from the Circuit Court for the District of Columbia, has bees decided by the Su pren»«* Court, against the Corporation of Washington. To many of our city rea ders, this decision will have been quite unexpected. Coming from a tribunal constituted as the Supreme Court is, no one can question the impartiality of the judgment, heavy and hard as it is on those who have to suffer the consequences, anci blighting as it may be to the opening prospects of this infant City. The loss which the city will thus have sustained by the failure of the contractor for >he lottery, will amount, as we are informed, to upwards of one hundred fifty thousand dollars, (including, of course, all demands resting on the same foundation as that of Mr. Clark.) with congenial torlln^s, those friond’y overtures of ihf* South American Re- pul)lics, which resulted in the Mission to Panama, thus givin" a dccidcd coun tenance to fhe cause of South Anieric.in rndependence, receives our cordial ap probation. licsoh^edy That our confidence in the President of the United States, and the members of his cabinct, is based upon their public conduct and is cheerfully accorded them b\^ this General Assem- bly. liesolvedy That the Governor be re- quesied to transmit to the President of the United States, and to each of our Senators and Representatives in Con gress, a copy of the preceeding resolu tions. When Mr. Canning, the British am bassador at Constantinople, lately con sented to accent a guard from the new militia of the Porte, instead of the Ja nissaries before employed, he observed that he considered the change as only a provisional arrangement. The Reis EJfendi replied, “ Be it so-every thing human is provisional—Cod alone is im mutable.” There arc brnying men in the world as well as braying asses; for what’s loud and Senseles talking, huffing, and swear- ing, any other than a more fashionable way of braying ?

From the New York Statesman. American Manufactures.—As we anti cipated, the English papers, one and all, disapprove of our manufacturing system, in toto, and on the occasion of the bill now pending before Congress, present us with a bran new edition of all the trite and threadbare arguments used by the opponents of our protecting system, and recently repeated, for the ninety-ninth by some of our city journals ; and these English requisitions, which we also anticipated, are gravely copied into the same journals, as opinions of all-control ling weight and authority ? XV'^e believe the sujjremacy of foreign opinions in our country and its councils, has passed away: but whether it has or not, we think our legislative representa tives are not mafle of such pliable and “penetrable stuiV” as to be influenced by dictu, on such a subject from such a source, h would be like the conduct of a general sending to the enemy’s camp for a letter of instructiui»s to regulate his movements.

This proviso is approbatory of the Administration of the General Government, and ex pressly denies that there was atiy improper conduct in the late election of President.
