"That Messrs. S. i?. rrenuss. wdT. J. Word" are not members of "the 25th Congress; jwd : are not entitled to seats i tT Vi tin ttsft ail such.' Mn Ww proposed the following prelim inary resolution : - : ' "Resolved, That Messrs. S. S. Prentiss, t'-WT Word: have leave to occupy Beafcfwithin the bar of this House, pending the discussion of the report of the Commit tee of Eleetions, on their application : arid that they have leave to speak to the merits v.o onnllcstinn. and the report of the committee thereon,' fMrBooii demanded the PreTious Qnes tinin. xv h&h Was seconded, and, upon being put; was carried, and the officers of the House were ordered to provide seats on the floorfor the applicants; Mr. Howard, asked to have read state ment of Mr. Claiborne, now confined at his lodgings, in relation to this case. 'K Mr. Wise and Mr. Bell stated that, in':inh rtasft. the statement of - Messrs., Word, and Prentiss should, in all justice, be also read. - v The gentlemen applying for their seate, took the places provided for them within the bar. ' Previously to this, Mr. Wiss, (in urg ing upon the House the propriety of hav ing the statement of Messrs. Prentiss and Word read, in case that of Mr. Claiborne should be read, as moved by Mr. Howard, had remarked, incidentally, that the state ment of the applicants had been printed and laid on the tables of the members of that House, at their own expense. As soon as the applicants had taken their eats, and the. statement of Mr. Claiborne had beea read by . the Clerk, Mr. G holsox; (whom every body thought abed,) rose -and made a most low and vulgar attack upon what Mr. Wise had said as to fie printing of the applicant's ; atatentent pretending to discover in those remarks of Mr. Wise a furtive allusion to the fact, that Mr. Clai borne's statement was intended to be prin ted, at the expense of the Government, by order of the House, tho' in point of fact, no such order had been taken. He said that he and his colleagues asked no ' charity at the hands of the House, &e. &c, that they were able to print their own papers, if they had not so much money as other people &e. and that the remarks of the gentleman from Virginia were unworthy of a member of that house. ' Mr. Wise immediately rose,turned round to Gholson, and said "if impudence and ignorance constitute a blackguard, there" (pointing to him,) 4is one !" Mr. Gholson rejoined, none but a cow ardly scoundrer would make use of such language in this House.'' -Here the Chair called to order. A.statement was then read on the part of Mr. Gholson, to the same effect, as that of Mr." Claiborne. . Mr. Bell moved that this subject be made the order of the day, for this day, and every succeeding day, at one o'clock, till the question shall be decided. This motion prevailed. 4 ' ' j Mr.TJxDER wood moved to print the state ment of Mr. Claiborne. Mr. Howard sus tained the motion. Mr. Patton opposed it. It was a personal matter, and was not the duty of the House to print it, as a -part of -the; documents of the House. I A somewhat lengthened debate upon this question of printing the paper took place, " Mr. Dawson of Geo. then rose, and al luded to the conversation which had taken place between Messrs. Wise and Gholson, and hoped that those gentlemen would respond to the resolution he should offer. This resolution declared "that Messrs. Wise and Gholson having used language disre epectful of this body, it be Resolved that they do make proper submission and apolo gy to the House. 7 Mr. Wise was happy to have an "oppor tunity to put himself right, a regards the House. He alluded to the facts, in the case. When the paper of Mr. Claiborne was pro posed to be read, the gentleman from Mary land, (Mr. Howard) seemed to put it upon the ground that the paper of Messrs. Pren tiss and Wqrd had been, printed - by the order of the House. And he had stated that such was not the fact, merely to cor rect the seeming error of that, gentleman : when, to his utter surprise, the sitting member from Mississippi had risen, and in , the most taunting mannerV had made an imputation against" his motives in saying wnat ne Jiad said. He naa not; leu nun self insulted by that 'member though had the same remarks"fallen from any other gentiernan-he miffht have done so. . He had felt excited, but not insulted. He apolo ffised to the Housei 1 for transcending its rules of order, but iad no apology to make to the member from Mississippi, of whom he had spoken a$ he hadlong thought of mm. iv; , 01 Mr. Gholson , said, that the member from Virpniacould not think less of him, than lie, (Mr. G.) did of scoundrels. He, how ever disclaimed Wy intention of disrespect to the House. ... :- On motion of Mr.- Glascock, supported by Mr. Mercer, the resolution of Mr. Daw- "I J .1 iii. r-i ui .vra laiu on me laoie. ine DroDer time for offering it (being immediately afH ter the occurrence,) had now transpired, and, under , the rule, it was out of order. ' . MrMcRCER then offered a resolution, to tne eneevthat some Words having passed oetween Messrs. Wise and Gholson; they be required to promise that the quarrel be- iween them ahau not be prosecuted further. . a. 2 this moderof interLarencteonUie panoi house, in such "cases, arid he theretore mov ed la lay Mr. Mercery resolution on iu tables-.-- -vi; .

Hel&nAiaiended to move to have the tate ment Of Mr. Claiborne printed; ana saw. that he did not put tiie. construction upon ihp. former remarks of the ffentleman from "ViTgima, (Mr. Wise,) these papers, that the as' to the Drintincr of fatter intended to im- l u pute to mm, inr oward,) the ! sordid motive of vishing to save a few dollars lor Mr Claiborne, by such a suggestion. ! Mr. Wise then expressly stated 'that he had no such intention. ' - " Mr. Howard could not see, then, -.that there was any ground for Mr. Gholson's imputations upon MrJ Wise's motives m making thoe remarks ; and he hoped Kn t!P.nnrrrpl wculd thus be easily and sneedilv adrasted; Mr. Jenifer persisted in his opinion, that M was the wv to foster not check the quarrel. Suppose . a that this proposition should pass, it would not prevent the pros ecution of this quarrel elsewhere. He pas- ed a hiffh eulogium bit 'Mr. Wise, Whom he also vindicated in this! particular matter. Mr. Turney was opposed to making this House an intermediator between mem hri!. in rases of Drivate duarrel. He want- ed no such intermediator m his own case and hi was not for iorcinfl' it unon others. He deprecated the passage of this resolu tion, as establishing! a precedent, under which members might, hereafter, use abu sive lanoTiaore to each! other, and shelter themselves from personal responsibility. Mr. Mercer vindicated the rule of the House, and urged its strict application in the present case. Mr. Glascock elegantly supported the views of Messrs. Jenifer and Turney on this subject. He did not believe that any such course as that prescribed by this reso lution would prevent gentlemen from set tling their own private quarrels, how and when they see fit. He hoped the matter Would rest here, and he moved the indefi nite postponment of the consideration of the resolution. - Mr. Reed, of Mass. was in favor of en forcing this rule. He could not believe that it was necessary, in order to preserve the rights of members oh that floor, that they should be bound to revenge their wrongs. He lived in a part of the coun try where such a mode of settling disputes was reprobated, and there, (where the ap peal in such cases l j made not to arms, but to public opinion. ) there was more decency, propriety, and good order, in the1 manage ment of the public affairs, than when the opposite course was pursued. After Mr. Reed sat down, Mr. i Jenifer said that there did not appear to be any prospect, of immediately settling this ques tion, and he would therefore, move an ad journment, which motion prevailed. In the Senate, the Vermont Legislative Resolutions came up, and the question of reception being immediately under consid eration, Messrs. Swiit and Frentiss ot Ver mont, advocated that reception, making re plies to the frequent severe remarks that had been made by several gentlemen, dur ing the discussion of Mr. Calhoun's Reso lutions, in reference to these Resolutions. They complained of that severity and vindi-' cated the right of their State to memorialize Congress on such a subject, and in such a way. Mr. Preston made a very spirited speech, in opposition to the reception, and justified the terms in which the resolutions of the Legislature of Vermont had been alluded to by gentlemen representing Slaveholding States in the Senate. This was a very eloquent effort. Mr. Strange made remarks to the same general effect, and he, as well as Mr. Pres ton, read from the resolutions, by way of justifying the language which, had been used in reference to them, bv Southern Senators. Mr. White contended that the resolu tions should not be received, as well on account of the unconstitutionality of inter fering with the subject of Slavery, settled as it is by the Constitution itself, as one ol the institutions of the country as upon the consideration, that the language of those resolutions was disrespectful both to Senators and their constituents. Mr. Calhoun intimated thai he should give no vote at all upon the question of their re ception. He considered them, as emanat- ing from a sovereign State, and he could not vote for the rejection of them; while they were upon a subject which would pre vent him from voting for their reception. The preliminary question upon laying on the table the question of reception was then taken, and decided as follows for lay ing it on the table 12 against' it 26. -The matter then subsided, leaving the resolutions on the table, as a matter of course. - Correspondence of the Baltimore Chronicle. Washington, Jan. 17, 1838. In the House, this morning,, some inci dental business was transacted, of no im portance to the reader, and then the resolu tion of Mr. Mercer, reouirinff Messrs. Wise and Gholson to promise not to pursue their quarrel further, came up, as the unfinished Dusmess ot yesterday. Mr. Patton moved to lav the resolution on the table, as calculated to do more harm than good. Mr. Mercer called for the Yeas and Navs. which were ordered, and the vote stood 126 to 64 and the resolution slumbers on the table, of course. This being question of privilege, it-had precedence of all other business. Aftir it Jnaa been decided, Reports of Committees KJ TwicfifKii rase -anLaid that f more were' caUedfiof. which occuraed. the This beinff oven the following: resolution, (ordered by Mr. Robertson,) walakcn up, in order. Rcsotped, That Messrs. $p3i Pfentfss, anil TV J. WonJ JtttJnot members of thtf25tl Congr.-sst and art mot entitled teaU n thwUouse as suen. v. Mr. Bell movdd, as an amendment, tne following proposition. J " That the Resolution declaring Messrs. Claiborne and Gholson to Jiave been elected as members of the. 25th Congress, was. adopted without a proper knowledge of the facts, and the same ojight to be therefore rescinded.' ' v,' ' .' Mri Prentiss, one 6f the new members elect, then rose and "addressed the house, at length, in vindication of his, and his col league's rights, as members of that house, elected by the people of Mississippi, under her Constitution and Laws, and under the Constitution of the United States. Mr. Prentiss is a very eloquent speaker, perfectly self possessed, fluent, argumenta tive, and alternately playful and severe in his style. The House was very much crowded, during his Speech, and among" the gendemen upon the floor, I observed Sena tors Clay,Crittenden,White,Pres ton, South ard, -and others, Who" were very attentive to the speech, from beginning to end. He began by returning his thanks to the house for their courtesy to him, as an indi vidual, while he could not but express his regret, that the application of his State, had met with so tardy an attention, at the hands of that body. He and his colleague had for weeks been memorializing the House had sent their credentials to the Speaker and had demanded to be sworn as members of the House ; no objection had been made to their credentials, or to the returns of the proper officers, a3 to their election. The only objection was to the right of the State of Mississiopi to elect them : and to elect AX any body, in November last. Mr. P. expressed his surprise, alarm, and regret to hear it said upon that floor, as he had done, that the application of a sovereign State to that House stood in the same posi tion as an humble petition,, tor memorial of individuals. He disclaimed such an idea, and stood, he said, upon that floor, claiming to be heard as the representative of the sove reign State of Mississippi. He adverted to the disadvantages of hi position. He was addressing Judges who had made up their minds, and given a de cision upon the case : and he alluded to the course taken by the Government Press, against his claims. He expressed the hope that the sword of Brennus would not be permitted tope thrown into the scale,--that the force of Executive opinion would not be allowed to sway the action of the House.- He and his colleague Were strangers there and had to struggle against the advantages which possession gives to the sitting mem bers, and he alluded to a passage in Clai borne s address to the house, in which he had' expressed the fullest confidence that, during his absence, his friends would suc cessfully advocate his cause. And has Mis sissippi no such friends here ? asked Mr. Prentiss. As to the probable decision of this question on party grounds, he said he had heard such a rumor, -but he could not believe it true he could not harbor a thought so unworthy, so derogatory, to the members of that body. He said that a state of cor ruption which would warrant such a suspi cion transcended his belief, and he forci bly and eloquently depicted the consequen ces of such an alarming and reckless step. Mr. Prentiss then alluded to the hitherto friendly relations he had maintained with the-sitting members, and regretted that any thing should have occurred to interrupt them. He and his colleague had brought to these gentlemen the command of their Sultan, the people, and he, regretted that it had been made necessary to present the political bowstring to the rebellious. Pachas. He was fully aware of the magnitude of the task he had undertaken, but should endeavor to discharge it fearlessly and faithfully. He said that this was not, merely a case of contested election. It involves the ques tion, whether a State shall choose her own Representatives, or submit to have them chosen for her bv this house ? Whether this house may nullify a law of a sovereign State, and an act of Congress? And he argued very ably, three proposition- 1 . That Messrs. Claiborne isnd Gholson never were elected members of the 25th Congress. 2. That, if those gentlemen had ever been elec ted at all, they Wrre only elected for the period, an terior to the annual election in IVovcmbcr. . 3. That himself and his colleague had been duly, legally, and constitutionally elected by the people of Miss, to represent them iu the 25th Congress. But they were met at the threshold by the decision of the House, at the late session. They were told that that was, as the laws of the Medes and the Persians, Which alter not. That the State of Mississippi was estopped by that resolution from any further hearing in the case. ?That the silting members had been dipped into this Judicial Styx, fc were now invulnerable. But he hoped to find some point yet, of head or heel, thro' which these Achilles could be reached by the ar rows of argument and reason. He asked where was now the delicate sensibility as to the people's wishes, which those gentlemen had ever been so fond of professing, that they could now consent to hold their seats in this House, irrespective of the will of the people of their State, and by virtue only of an act of that body ? Had they counted the cost ? He was a bold man who, of old, stole fire from heaven, and hid it in a hollow tree let them beware that that fire does not con siime them who think to smother it. He challenged the sitting members to meet him on the merits of this question. Perhapa, suggested he, they are resting on the laureli which they had acquired, when separated by high mountains and broad rivers from the people of their State, they had uttered a bold challenge to all combatants to dispute their rights. Thev had ridden gallantly a roenrj the lists, and no one bad met them in iUfrreneeKii t But their sunjmon haxl bee5fie-ihti.eliple of Mississippi, itod the ehalle'Dge va now accepted by the humble individual, whom they had chosen 4as their champion. Richard had returnca from the-Holy liand, and the taise .Kmgnis. wcre.chauenged to'come out irom jtneir, cas tle of J? adjudictda, and abide the nssue. He felt very sure that that castle, . impreg nable as it seemed, could not stand a ous and protracted sieeV After this admirable figure to which; in ' this hasty sketch, I can do nothing like ade ouate iustice,Mri Prentiss said he would examine the validity of this Res adjudicata, 1 upon which the fitting members were hoio ing their seats.: lie took up the report, in their favor", by the Committee of Elections, at the late extra session, and said that from this deep well, of Constitutional .Law, he should endeavorto draw a few buckets full. He would see whether or not this shield of Aj ax, (this res adjudicata) behind which the sitting members had thrown themselves, were made of penetrable stuff. He then took five positions, viz : 1. That the adoption of the resolution in favor of Messrs. f.laiborne and Gholsou was not a judicial act of the house, but the expression of an opinion, liable to he altered by new fact, or a proper under standing of the old ones. 2. That the decision of the house wa3 ho adju dira'ion ot the claims of himself and his colleague 3. That 4hat decision was not binding on the people of Mississippi, who hud no notice of the grounds of it, and were thua no parties to it. 4. That, as far as this pretended adjudication went to ameiid a law of Mississippi, it was null and void, the house having no, such power. 5. That the adjudication, such as it was, was li able to be reviewed, as having been made upon a mistake of the facts in the case. He then ;argued these points with great power and effect statinsr, among other things, that he had not been, by his own consent, a Candidate for election, in Sep tember, having been absent from the State of Mississippi during the whole canvas That he believed the Governor had no right to make the Proclamation he did, in Septem ber, and that suh was the opinion of the first men in his State, at the time. Nay, that one of the sitting members himself had been said to have declared, that the election, under that Proclamation was good for noth ing ! ; : Mr. Prentiss here gave way to a motion to adjourn. He has yet to come to the cream of the matter, as you will see. In reference to the failure of the Com monwealth Bank, Mr. Webster introduced a resolution of enauirv. this morninsr, into the Senate, which, after some argument, was adopted. The whole business was a most srross violation of the law and will be sifted into, he said ! The Senate had up the Foreign Neutral Bill, "and made some progress with it. Excepting the eloquent .and able speech with which Mr. Webster advocated his re solution, and exposed some of the abuses I have glanced at above, in connexion with the Commonwealth Bank, there was nothing interesting in that body to-day. Correspondence of the Baltimore Chronicle. Washington, Jan. 18, 1838. House. After reports of Committees had been called for in order, and presented, Mr. Adams' resolution in regard to the Gorosliza Pamphlet, came up. Mr. Cushing adverted to some remarks he had made, on a former day, in relation to the assertion of Mr. Forsyth, that a dis tinguished member of the Diplomatic Corps had communicated that pamphlet to him, (Mr. Forsyth,) "with expressions of sur prise and disgust." See the Report of the Secretary of State, at the opening of this session.3 Mr. Cushing said, that it was inferible that the British Minister was in tended by this allusion. He now rose to say that he was authorised and requested by Mr. Fox to state that he never said any such thing, and that he had never commu nicated to the Secretary of State the fact of the existence of the pamphlet in question. He was for having the original documents placed in the hands of the house, as origi nally written, in the Spanish language. As the house had arrived at the special order, he would then suspend what remarks he had to make on the mam question until ano ther day. The order of the day was then taken up, and Mr. Prentiss resumed his argument, and continued it with much eloquence and ability. He examined precedents, and ad duced authority, from British as well as American Parliamentary history, in support of various points assumed by him, in sup porting his claims. He took the ground that the action of the Housfe, at the extra session, did not constitute their decision " res adjudicata," because they had, at this session, committed it again to the Commit tee on Elections. Having done this, he said that he had now levelled that castie of lies Adjudicata, and had torn away the rubbinh from the ruins lie had now a fair field, and asked no favor. He then resumed his first position, that the election held in July, in Mississippi, was void, in support of which position, he argued that the Governor of that State had no constitutional authority to issue his writ forffuch election. On this point, hp went into an extended and very acute constitu tional argument; of which I shall not now undertake to give you a detailed account It was one of the most masterly forensic efforts I ever listened to, and when it shall be given to the public, will be found to bear me out in my estimate of it. He left off at that special point in his matchless argument, at which heliad taken the pound, that if the Legislature of Mis sissippi had a right, and had the power by lawitofix the first Monday in November at the day of the annual election . of mem hers of Congress, anu election under that law must be valid, to thii he will hold the House, fast as a chain of adamant, and let them escape it; if they can ! On motion, the House adjourned, tearing Mr. Prentiss still in posset ion of the floor.

And the da originally fixed Was re-decidCd upon; , Upon the" question of reconsidering the vote of yesterday, (above mentioned) a liM tie conversation arose of some interest, as among the signs of the times.' When the" subject was first; Stalled, Calhoun and Benton, were both absent, and were sent for to dome into the Senate--so .they paired in, at about the same moment, and Culhoan took the whole generalship of the affair upon his hands. He was opposed to the reconsideration, and went strongly for, the early day, fixed as by the vote of yes terday, viz next Thursday. The Vice President had called Mr. Web ster to the chair, ad interim, ..- MrClay and Mr. Uives were against die precipitation of the discussion upon this measure ,the former denouncing the measure as most pernicious in its tendencies, and as having already received the seal of the peo ple's reprobation. He viewed it, as of a more pernicious tendency than the celebra ted Alien and Sedition law, and condemned in very forcible terms, the indecent haste with which it was now to be forced upon the Senate, and, if possible, upon the nation. Mr. Rives took much the same views of the matter, and demanded, as an act of mere courtesy, that some gentleman, who voted yesterday in the majority, for fixing the earlier day, should move a reconsideration, and thus allow members an opportunity pf reading and examining the bill, which had not yet been even laid upon the table of members. Mr. Roane responded to this appeal, and moyed a reconsideration of that vote. i Mr. Walker moved to lay it on the table, which motion was lost, 27 to 19. Mr. Calhoun spoke several times, c and was most resdess and busy upon the occa sion, Bedford Brown being his main aid-decamp: that same Brown, who used, one short year ago, to. turn his back upon the South Carolina Senator, with a pish! or a sneer, whenever the latter rose to address the Senate. Mr. Calhoun said, that the ma jority of the Senate were responsible for the delay which had already occurred upon this subject, -that the bill had been printed in the Globe, and was open to every Senator's examination,-that they could and should acquaint themselves with its provisions, end t be prepared to act speedily upon it. Mr. Crittenden said that the Senate would no doubt obey the schooling in. their duty, which had been vouchsafed them by the Senator from South Carolina, and read the bill wherever, and as soon as ever they could lay their hands upon it. He, for one, had not known of its publication in the Globe, not being so familiar with the col umns of that paper, perhaps, as some other honorable Senators. He was against pre cipitation, and hoped that the time original ly fixed would be restored. After some other general remarks, the question was taken on re-consideration, and passed in the affirmative, (as above stated,) 23 to 21. Correspondence of the Baltimore Chronicle. . Washington, January 19 1838. House. Several Executive communica tions were received and disposed of. Mr. Fillmore, , of New York, asked leave to introduce the following Resolution : Resolved, That the President of the United States he reqneeted, if not incompatible with the public interests, to communicate to this House, any infor mation posse -sed by him respecting the capture and during the night of the 29th of December last, and the murder of citizens of the United States on board and all the particulars thereof, not heretofore communicated ; and especially to inform the House uh ther said capture was authorised, commanded. or sanctioned, or has been avowed, by the British! authorities, or officers, or any efthem. And also what steps have been taken by bim to obtain satis faction from the- Government of Great Britain, on account of said outrage ; and to communicate to the House any correspondence or communication rela tive thereto, which has passed between the Govern ment of the United States and Great Britain, or any of the public authorities of either." The resolution, Mr. Fillmore was refus ed permission to present nor was he suc cessful in Ids attempt, to procure the sus pension of the rule in order to introduce it. Air. Adams asked for the Yeas and Nays, which the House refused to order, and then came up the order of the day, which was the Mississippi contested election. Mr. Prentiss finished his most able Speech, and examined the facts connected with the two elections in Mississippi.and the decision of the House upon the case of Claiborne -and Gholson. ' Hi closing appeal to Uic differ ent delegations of the several States was in genious and elegant, beyond description. He took the ground tliat, by reaffirming the" decision of the House at the extra session, they would disgrace the sorcrcign State of Mississippi, by substituting their decision fur the declaration of the will of that State, at the ballot box. Mr. Word declined adding any thing to what had been said bv Mr. Prentiss on the ground that the whole subject having been ably discussed, he should deem it but an in trusion to oflcr any thing additional. Mr. Gholson said a few words, but was prevented from going into the argument of the case, by reason oPiH-health. His col league stilt remains quite ill also. M r.
