Mr. Mafhiot said he had heard of no j

the first intimation he received that the |
President would not sign it was from his j
colleague (Mr. Goodc)on Monday morn-,
ing.
Mr. Weller inquired whether there hnd
not been a report accompanying Mr. E\ving'c
bill, and the President's might .not
have been derived from that report with. .
out having rend the b:ll ? and might he
not from that have been prepared to speak !
about the hill as he had done on Fndav !
evening to delegation?

bill, as though he were well acquainted
with it. Was it likely he would pledge J
himself to sign a bill he had never read? i
Mr. M. said he had risen not with any !
desire to addrc-s the committee, hut
trie rely to relieve himself from an imputa- i
lion of having made a false and injurious
charge. He believed he had accomolish-j
'
jed that objec t. Tne House had hisasser- j

on the other. 3/r. M, would he sustaincd

as he stated them, uhnccutd doubt that, i
to get oat of a difficulty the President had
told a falsehood. Mr. M. said that hav? I
ing redeemed his pledge, he uould now i
resume his scat.
Much confusion prevailed.
[The President's temperament seems to be of the '
lachrymose variety. When, in the Harrisburg !
Convention, the nomination of Mr. Ci.tr for the
Presidency was defeated, he is sxid to hive shed ,
tears in piofusion. Tnrse tears were, perhaps, the
moit potential ever shed in this country. It is :
supposed they procured for him the nomination \
(unexpected by himself an! the country) for the 1
Vice Presidency, and, contingently, tiic oihee!
tthtch he now holds.]

New Plough.?In the American Farmer of the
23th June and 13:h July, we find an account of a
new plough which is considered an improvement
upon ail former instruments for the cultivation of
corn. Dr. Joseph E. Muse, of Maryland, at
whose suggestion the plough w..s made by Messrs.
Sinclair and Co. of Baltimore, in a letter to the
manufacturers, says of it that it is 44 a double fur.
rowing machine, and yet is not a plough, strictly
?nor is it a 'Cultivator, nor a 'harrow.' I have
been using it," ho adds, "to r place the ea.tli
which had been barred oil from the cornits
operation is precisely whit it should be for the purpose,
and cannot be pt.farmed by any instrument
I h ive.evcr seen, w.tn so much neatness, expedi.
Con, and effect: many of my most observant and j
judicious neighbors, in iced ail who have seen it,
operate, sustain ray opinion." In the American]

to be three ploughs attached to one 6tock,
and so arranged that the se:ond tums the ear:h
into the furrow made by the tint, and the third |
turns the earth into the furrow made by the second. '
Tne stock is lJie that of a common shovel plough, j
or bull tongue, with a cross piece framed into the !
ocani between the points at which the handles and i
tree arc attached, this piece inclining forward at
the right hand end. The irons arc made to turn
the earth only to the right. One is attached to the
tree, where the lull tongue would be attached, and
the others to the above-named cross piece on the
right. The American Farmer follows the cut of
the plough with the following remarks:
" The .thrive cut represents tiic Paten'

The President has pent to the Senate a

I ntelligenccr;
CONGRESSIONAL ANALYSIS.
Senate.?Thursday, July 13.
After some morning business of tin
usual sort, the correspondence between
this Government and the Mexican was
taken up, as communicated by the Pies,
idnnt of the United States, under the call
at the beginning of this week. It con.
sist.s, as the reader is already informed,
" * i ri
of a series <>1 loiters between the secretaries
of State of the two countries.
The answer of Mr. Webster, which is
before our readers at large, isn very able,
complete, hut calm, exposure of the folly
of what the Mexican Minister allege*
:igai..st the faith and the amity of ou:
public demeanor towards his Government.
This exposure rests on two main points:
1st, the justice, moderation, and even in.
.luliience of our conduct towards Mexi< (>;
2'lly, the gross v rongfulm as of her
acts and the violence of her language towards
us.
The Secretary shows, in the masterly
manner of which ho is so capable, thai
the facts of which Mexico complain* are
not such as to wu-raut her displeasure ;
that these are individual acts, not national
ones; that they have been discouraged
bv our Government, as far as it was in
rts power to do; but that our citizen*
ini'/rntcd vhen lliry [into iVxasi
or any other country with which wc arc
at peace, nor have we any coercive power
by which to hinder them. We had,
in common with England, France, and
Holland, recognised the independence of
Texas; and from that moment wc could j
tin liwirrur tirrxli i l\t rtiir noroJo fn?m trm fltf
I "" I" ..w... h H ,
thither, nnd ceased to he accountable
for their acts done from that territory.
For these Texas herself was alone re- j
sponsible, if, indeed, any warlike operations
had, from that Slate, been carried
on against Mexico; but there have been
; none. Texas has not invaded Mexico,
j hut has maintained only a defensive war,
I suspended on her part whenever the cesI
sat ion of Mexican attacks permitted it.
| The Secretary then recites the early
and constant regard which this country
I n
(and its Government have manifested to,
wards Mexico, Irom the dawn of her independence,
our early declaration in her
favor, nnd the. sincere nnd kind amity
which we have inaiu'ained towards her,
in the face even of the most serious violations
of our national rights.
He contrasts with such conduct that
?,f Mexico towards us; her violation of
her own laws and treaties towards our
citizens \isiiing 01 resident in her terpitorv
; her rapacious spoliation of their
property; her violent outrages against
their persons. The fact is then apparent
that Mexico founds her menacing complaints
against us, and her charges of
perfidy, upon acts done by private persons,
our citizens no longer, from an 111rwl.mt
ti?rrifnrv whili* on Imr *\vii
wuv... . , , , -
part, it is the Government itself which
tramples on our citizens and violates the
most solemn treaties. He compares the
respectful, the friendly language which,
in our whole intercourse with Mexico
we have held, and our moderation and patience
under continual injuries, with the
causeless violence and indignity with
which we have hecn almost constantly
repaid.
Thus far the first letter and reply.?
The Mexican Secretary'* second is that
which has lately appeared in print. It
adds to the hostile tone of the tirst the indignity
of being communicated, in all its
disgraceful iicss of terms, to the foreign
(diplomatic agents resident in Mexico,
j and the gratuitous indecency of being
thus published only ten days after the
former one was sent off, and long (of
course) before it could even he received
by the Power to whom it was addressed.
Mr. Webster's second letter comments,
briefly but strongly, upon these facts,
and characterizes the language cf the
letter, not less than the mode arid time |
of its publication, as every Way ? uoju?i
and indecorous." lie considers the
charges against our Government a? ** derogatory
to the character of trie United
I States, and highly offensive." The threat
' '' r?
that, if our conduct is persisted in, Mexico
will regard it as amounting to direct
hostility, is met precisely as it should he?
that is, with a very hricf declaration "that
the United States, having performed all
their public cuties towards Mexico in reI
latum to Texas, have no change to make !
| ' n [
I in their conduct, and will make none." ;
A communication follows, from our
new Minister, General Tnonipson, to the
Mexican Government, on occasion cf Mr.
Hocanegta s last Ictti r, to wntch, under,
trie circumstances of its publ.cation in j
Mexico, our envoy considered an mimed- I
late reply necessary, in advance of the
more regular and authoritative one which <
was to he expected from his Government,
lie urges, in the main, the same topics of
vindication which the Secretary ol Slate
nod menn time adopted. <
He denies any violation towards Mexi- i
co on our part of the obligations of nation- '
al law. That such is the fact, is ahutidily
shown by the absence of all complaint
except the totally unfounded ones as to I
Texas. He insists on the uniform kind- j
nes.Niind courtesy which we have ohverv- ;
ed towards Mexico, in the midst even ol j i
tillecn years ol continual national wrongs
towards us. He proceeds to examine
and answer the three causes of hostility
now alleged : 1st. That public meetings
had been held amongst us in favor of
{Yxas; 2*1- That p.id had hern furnished
! to Texas by volunteers from this country;
3d. That arms and munitions of war had
been supplied to Texas by persons in this
{ country.
That the first of these is no ground of!
complaint, ail national iaw (General
i Thompson insists to (makes it clear. Tublie
meetings are no violation of neutrality.
The action of the Government ran
alone constitute this, lie instances our
meetings in favor ol Ireland, of which ,
liritain has never complained; like ones
mi favor of the Canadian insurgents; in**
Knglish abolition meetings to denounce
slavery in this country, and their assemblies,
at another tune, in favor of Poland.
As to the second complaint, ho answers ;
ihat we have no power to withhold oui
citizens from going abroad for any purpose
that they like. They now did so
only ns when, in other times, they went
out ?s volunteers to join the Mexican <
forces against Spain. I
As to the complaint, he replies that, no
toriotisly, it is by private person*, anu i
not by ihe Government, that those suppiles
of arms and munitions are sent. Oi i
such furnishing ? contraband of war,1'
forfeituuru ol the property, he insists, is
the only consequence, under national
law; nor doji it at all affect the amicable
relations with tho Government whose
p ivate citizens only are concerned in
such acts.
A bodv of loss' important documents
lotloued; which were not read.
Mr. Preston rose to enforce variou>
points in this very grave matter. Ho in
sisted, as before, (hat there could he no
question of the high moderation and frirbearanee
with which we have inet, on the
part of Mexico, a series of injuries and
indignities, such as it would havo been;
utterly disgraceful to bear, except from a
nation whose feeble a id embarrassed
state made concessions and patience a
matter of magnanimity in a country so j
much more powerful and secure. Had such
acts been committed or such language
been committed or such language heen ,
used against us bv any of the large Euro. !
p? an States, they would have heen met, j
by every citizen of this country, with one !
general burst of indication, one general |
clamor for reparation or vengeance.
Mr. Crittenden also made some brief
but spirited remarks on the matter. He |
approved the tone of the correspondence, j
He especially approved its forbearance.
Me trusted that we should ever exhibit
such towards the weak, who often at.
tempt, in this manner, to magnify themselves
by violence. Ours should bo the
Roman maxim:
" Parccre subjectis ct dobellarc superbos."
He was glad of the right and high spirit
of these communications. There was a
light in I hem which he agreed to sec
breaking, in this instance, from thut cloud
which rested upon the present Adintnis.
t rat ion.
Mr. Linn made a few observations ex.
preswive of his satisfaction at seeing this
correspondence, and intimating that he
should, perhaps, liavo something to say
upon the matter when it should again
come up.
Sagacity of a Doo.?On Tuesday
last, a ycung man about 18 years of nge,
residing near Tap ley's Brook, in Danvers, (
left liia father's .house in the morning, ,
with his dog. gun, &c. for the purpose of
shootinir. About noon the dog entered !
the house, and appeared in a state of ex.
Iraordinnrv agitation, making many molions
which were afterward understood to
he invitations to follow him, but which
at the time occasioned some apprehensions
that he was about to suffer an attack
of the hydrophobia. Finding that
no attention was paid to his wishes, he
finally left the house, and was not seen
afterward for several hours, when he again
entered and recommended his attempts to
induce the family to follow him.
A person then in the house, but who
was not there be at the doofsprevious visit, !
observing his strange conduct, and learning
that it was similar to what had been
exhibited before, concluded that there
was sufficient " method in his madness"
to constitute him a safe companion, and
accordingly followed him ou4-to see w hat
would come of it. At first, in his eagerness,
the dog ran out of sight of the man
who followed him, hut being recalled by
a whistle, kept himself afterward only a
short d stance in advance. The man fol
lowed * through brake and through briar,"
Kut **/??* miner daunted when the dog
plunged into the reccssps of a swamp.
Determined to see it out, however, he
went in after him, and there discovered
the voting man lying upon tne ground insensible,
and with his face dreadfully
shattered by the discharge of his gun.
He was taken home immediately, the dog
following in tiiumph. and although, a*
we learn, still insensible, yesterday morning,
was not considered lit a hopeless con- ',
