Objction being made, a motion to sus pend the rules was made, but without suc cess: TIre House then'went into Committee, and'took up the Civil and Diplomatic Ap-" propriation bill. ' Mr. Pollock moved to amnild by provi ding that all articles purchased for the use of Congress; shall be of Amzerican anu facture. = This gave rise to a warm debate touch ing the tariff. Mr. Morris asked if it was not the fact, that Mr. Polk, the Presidential Candidate, is against protection. 1MIr Payne said he was glad of an op portunity to set the public mind right on this'point. The Whigs bave been endea vorlag to -delude the people, by persua ding them that Mr. Polk was in. favor of entire free trade. Such. was not the case, for Mr. P. was in favor of duties on im ports for revenue,. the only constitutinnal mode proscribed for the colloction-ofduiiea. But he condemned the policy of the wlhigs, which was to circumvent the:Constitution, by raising money for 'monopolies and bounties, to be given to one portion of the people, at the expense of another. Mr. Payne p-oceeded with some gene ral remark, relu:ive to the ;positions of Messrs. Clay and Polk with regard to Texas. Pending some explanations which en sued, Mr. Wentworth moved further to amend, by providing that all members W'ho have made political speeches relative to Mr. Van Buren, have permission to erase it and substitute that of James K. Polk. When this amendment was read by the Clerk, 'it was followad by the most im moderate' laughter from all parts of the House, with cries of "Well done Went. ,worth." - Mr. Harden next took the floor, and went into a political history of Mr..Polk and his course, relative to -the tariff. In the course of his remarks, he talked about indicting the friends of Mr. Polk for petit larceny in having stolen the Texas Capi tal of Mr. Tyler. Mr. Hale followed. Ile gave notice, that when, a certain portion of the bill should come under consideration, he should move -to amend, by deducting frotm the. salaries of the Treasurer and Register of the Treasury $7S3; that being'ihe amount taken by them from the Treasury, without authority of law. He admitted, however, there was some excuse for these ollicers, because in other departments of the Go vernment, there were the most glariiig violations of law. As one instance, he al luded to the record of the case of-a sailor, named Herring, who, while in the Medi terranean, under the command of Commo dore Elliott, was sentenced to 400 lashes, although the laws of 1800 expressly de clares, that unless in capital cases, no Court Martial shall order the inflictiotn of more than 100 lashes. In addition to this, the of'ence for. which the man was flog ged, was lnt recognized by t he regulat ions of the -Navy. After further remarks, Mr. H. declared, that if the sailor was still alive and could be heard sfrom, he .ould d1evote all his energies towards procuring restitution from his persecutors. Mr-. A. wyas.then about to. read a vidid picture .of the cruelty olflnaggiog .in the Navy, when Mr, C.I. Ingersoll objected. Mr. H ale thereupon closed :he book, ob serving that it was no wonder that, as gen. 'tleman, living within a gun shot of a Navy, Yard, shotild refuse to bear any thing.said about .dogging. 'Mr. Ingersoll dxhibited'greatrirre tability, and dleclared that he. would insult no man; nor would he be imulted by any man. * Mr. H alo disclaimed aily- 'intention to itisult ; but, at the sanuia time., declared he 'would not be turned asidle from his du'ty by any inan on earth. H-e then reverted. to the prdetice.of flogging -in the, Navy, arnd satid,-upon a reference '-to the record, it would' be seen thlat,.from the commences 'mett of the year .to the end-,.ikhiwas a cointinued, living stream of.bilood pouring fram the shrinking, lacerated backs of our ea-mien.

In the House, the. conideratioa of the general Appropriation' bill was resumed' in Committe9gf thdWhole. ,Tiedebate, which was of, a political character, was terminated at twelve o'clock when the Committee ~proceeded-to vote on some scores ofproposed atmendaients. An amendment'being proposed for the insertion of $20,000 for the purchase of furniture for the President's douse, Mr. Duncan moved further to amend by pro viding that no part of that sum shall be expended for the purnbase of wine or any other liquor for the President's cellar. . 'After some very noisy proceedings, the original motion was agreed to with this amendment. Mr. Duncan was understood to say he had been credibly informed that formerly a portion of the money had been so applied. - Mr. King moved to amend by author izing the Secretary of the Treasury to sell the President's House, together with the furniture and the adjacent gargens. This was ruled out of order. At a laterhour, the Cottnittee rose and. reported,- whereon'the House adjourned. The bill will be disposed of-to-morrow, and sent to'the Senate. .When Mr. Ingersoll introduces his joint resolution for the annexation of Texas, it is supposed the vote will be taker. tinder the previous question. As for debate at this late period of the session, it is out of the question. The sessiotr having been limited to the 17th, a great mass of important business must necessarily be left- undisposed of. The bill to .re-charter the Banks of this District, is now.giveu up. As the present charters expire in July, we shall again be flooded with individual notes. POLITICAL: From the Charleston Mercury. A SCENE NOT IN THE BILLS. The Philadelphia Spirit of the Times, gives the following account of the announ' ment to Mr. Dallas of. his norninationi to the Vice Presidency. Gov. Polk will very likely be equally puzzled to know "what is the matter ?" when the Delegates go to offer him the Presidential purple. - Our candidates are, without speech, of the peo ple-and we find them, not in-the turmoil of .politica, heated by fiery and jealous strife .foithe honors of office, but warm in the 'bosom of their own peaceful homes; they are not less likely to do honor to the choice of their fellow citizens, for aill that. From the Philadelphia Spirit of the Times. The news of the nomination of Geo. M. Dallas was conveyed to that gentleman in a singular manner, and merits a notice. It was arranged to be announced to him by the Eastern - delegation on their way home from the Conventims.-Accompanied by Senator Wylker,:or Mississipp~i, a per sonal friend of Mr. D)allas, the Delegates, 60 iuntz.nber, arrived in thiscity on F'riday morning about 54 o'clock. Of course al most every body was yet asleep. The party soon reac.hed M. D's house in Wal nut below Tenth street, aud Mr. WValker ascending the steps, rang the bell. A ftet a pause, Mrs. D put her head out of the window, and seeing Mr. Walker conjectur. cd that some misfortune had.hatppeued to her daughter, resident in Washington Walker's remark, "1 wish-'to'ee Mr. Dal. las .immediately," confirmed her suspi. claous, atnd she hatly aw'akened her hus band, communi::sting-thei sad ennjectures. Hle..ran-.down stairs half dressed.and bare footed-opened the door-awhen to his at. ier amnazement, in 'walked sixty or more gentlemen, twou by two, with the tread of soldiers .passitng hiit- by and entering his front parlor as though to makehim a cap. tive. ,Not having the slightest conception of~ their object lie stood thunder struck at the scctc. Mr. Wailker led him into the back parlor. - "My dea'r Walker, said he in amadcr'icut, "what is the matter? "Vlait one..momnt, if you please, Dallas, wa: otne moment if you pleasd." .The iildiog doors werc then thrown c pe: and the whole delegation stepping forward gave three deafetning cheers for "Polk and .Dallas!".. Mr.: D. stood paralized. IUr. Walker ~enjoyed his discomfltire. Gov. .Fairfield, of- Maine, then stepped forw ard and in the name of the delegation, solved the. nystery in.the 'following brief speech. Mr...Dallas-I have the honor to informr you that the. National-Convention of Dew ocrats-assembhled at Balinore,-having en tire contidence in theopurify of your private .hracter and the~distingushe~d servicos you have.rendered the De'mocritic party, have unanimously confsred upon you the nom inido'n of-Vice.Preident of the Uaited 't~ates. . ...

Polk, ofTeinnease iN ti6 Balrtmore Conventionmade agreat sensation in:our city on Saturday The bulletins were crowded through the day faces brightened-tongues- were loosed, congratulation and rejoicing was heard every wihere-as far as we know, the; sen timent-ofour friends is warmly in favor of the nomination-it will command the hear ty support of the State-and as far- as we' have seen indicationsof opinion elsewhere, it promises to unite the strength and rouse the spiritof the partylthrough thecountry." The Charleston. Courier,. of the same date says:-" The Democratic. National Convention has ended its discussion and its labours, by the -unanimous nomination of James K. Polk. of.Tennessee, for the Pre sidency, and George A. Dallas, of Penn sylvania. for the Vice Presidency, two gentlemen. whose names have never before beenimnentioned in connexion with the high olices to which they have been respective ly nominated. These unexpected nomi neions will take the whole country, and the nominees themselves, by surprise. Al though abile men, neither of themreoccupies the first rank for talent. statesmanship; or public service-and it, remains to be seen whether the mere force of party will suf fiee to elevate men of comparatively infe nor grade and distinction to the first offcos of the republic, which ought to be. the rewards of the most shining nierit; These nominations, however, have seemingly harmonized the democratic party. and un less distracted by Mr. Tyler, (wh~o persists in his self-nomination for re-electiod,) they will act as a unit in the coming contest." The Augusta Constitutionalist, of the 4th inst., upon announcing the nominations says : "' The action of the. convention -is still more gratifying, when it was univer sally anticipated, that, owing- to- the cir cumstances which it is not now necessary to enumerate, divisions in the ranks of the. democratic party, and personal preferences, would produce discord, and lead the con vention to dissolve itself without any nowi nation. Our fears have been dispelled, by tho patriotism and firmness to principles of the members of the convention; they have sacrificed personal predelictions at the altar of the public good, for the main tenance of democratic principles and the triumph of the democratic party. By a unanimons vote they made choice of two distinguished citizens, who will receive the unanimous support of the party in every State of the Union. We are firmly con vinced that this choice will-be received in Georgia with enthusiasm,*and that from the seaboard to the mountains the names of Polk and Dallas will be re-echoed as the rallying point for the concentration of all Georgia-a votes. We have not time- nor space, to extend our remarks on this sub ject, at the present time; we shall have occasion,before the closing of the campaign, to enlarge on the qualifications of the can didates for your suffrage, and on the claims they possess to the two highest offices within the gift of the American people." The South Carolinian, of the6tl inst., contains the following remarks upon tho nomination: "These nominations may well surprise the public, since neither of the nomi nees iad been recommended or probably thought of by anyone before the meeting of the Convention. Thai, however, is of little or no consequence. A general com promise becatne neceesary, as to men, anid entirely new names were necessary to that effect, and under such circumstan ces the resblt is perhaps a happy one- Mr. Polk is decidedly in favor of theimmedi ate .annexation, and opposed to a Protect ive Taritll; is a gentlemian of very respcc table.chbaructer and talents ; and has occu pied the stations of Speaker of the H ouse of Representatives in Congress, and Go vernor of Tennessee. Mr. Dallas, too, is an able man, of highly respectable char acter, distiniguishedl for his determined and uniform opposition, to the Unite'd States Bank in its palmiest days of power and popularity, and to the abuses of Banks atnd corporations generally ; but, if we mis take not, he leans miore or less to the Pro teetive Triffj~ heresies of his State. The Resolutions, too, are soundly Dem oeratic ; ba' most of thiem were adopted by theConvention of 1S40; and how have thsec teTariaTandl Abolition been ad hered to by the large De-nceratic major ity in the presont Conigressionial House of Rcpresentatives ? Looking to the very recent faithless and trencherous action of that matjority on the Tariff, we have no conftdenge in such pledlges, no reliance on either party, and no disposilton to place our hopes on either parties or men. Mr. Polk is a sound man in the man ; but what coul he h or even Mr. Culhoun do, as Pre sident, against or without his-party, more than .Gr. Tyler ? M~r. Van Bureti is de-. ieased, and,'so far as Annexation is con cerned, this is recily wtell forge Sou th ; but ou tho TariiT, ho was not worse than his party, antd indeed searcely so had, eus remember, theu, what is due to ourseives and our principles, under the late action of Congress--notonly in the House hut the- Senate, also, where a large ma jority has just declared in favor of plun-. dering us ad libitum,-and beware how we rush headlong into another Presidential scramble. For our own part, we would rather, .yith Gen. Mcluffie, that S. Caro lina should have the blessings of Free Trade, than the power of making every President fromt now til} doomsday. The posit iou of the. Souih is critical. .Can any planter calculate the proceeds of his Cot ton -crop~ at present prices. and not feel that his future path, and of course that:of the whole South, is downward, dowentard, DowNWARD, to poverty and desolation? And the fault is not in the prices, merely. Under a fair, honest revenue Tariff, we might make Cotton profitably at themr; while with- the-present one, surely. no- re flee'lig, calculesing-mian can hops foir auiy-. ib betres than- thimate ruin.
