Congressional proceedings. House, June 17. . Patterson of Tennessee now offered a pream- ' / rrea t length, in relation to proscription, and clo- two resolutions calling upon the President j- 0 f Departments to furnish a list of proscribed - - and the reast»ns for such proscription. Mr. °® cer * s0 n moved to suspend the rules for the the pur- ' a () f receiving the resolutions. The yeas and nays P° 5C y r( Jered, and were—yeas 27, nays 130. So the Solutions lie over under the rules. " 'The preamble and resolutions are as follows. Whereas the present Secretary of Stale, at the nital of Virginia, and beneath an October sun,” .Cfe year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred C farty, did use ‘* ,,s l an ? ua £ e: “Yet even from this a ”eat and good man (James Madison,) whom I hold Ce ciiief among the just interpreters of the Consti- 10 . [ am constrained, however, presumptuous it ! f be considered, to differ in relation to one of his ^terpretations of tliat instrument. I refer to the opin- !“ e L r essed by him, that the power of removal from Nice does exist in the Constitution as an independent Cur in the hands of the President without the consent [Che Senate. I wish he had taken a different view of it.” Whereas the present Secretary of War, with all the j,Ability attached to his station as a member of the House of Representatives in Congress, did, no loturer since than April of last year, give utterance to tlie"tbllowing sentiments: “ As to the constitutional power of the President to remove a subordinate officer (hr a difference of political opinion, I will say no more than simply to ask gentlemen to recur again to that clause of the constitution which provides that all civil officers may be removed from office upon conviction for‘treason, felony, and other high crimes and misde meanors;’ and alter they have done so, to put the question to themselves whether any thing can be more supremely absurd, and even ridiculous, than this pro vision of die Constitution if the President, was by the same instrument, vested with the power, by his sole i authority, not only to remove for ‘treason, fellony, j and other high crimes and misdemeanors,’ but for no j reason at all, without any default, w hatsoever in the | officer! The object of this clause in the Constitu- j tion was undoubtedly, in the first place, to provide for | the removal of the public officers who had disqualified ! themselves for the public service by their crimes, or 1 the abuse or gross neglect of their trusts; and, second ly, to throw' around the civil officer the same protec- j tion and security, in tiie enjoyment of their privileges, ! and emoluments, but, above all, their good name, j against all tyrannical and arbitrary invasions or re strictions that the Constitution and laws, both of the I State and Federal Government, are so careful to j maintain and protect in the private citizen. The gc- ; niusand spirit of ourwhole scheme and system of civil | liberty are directly opposed to the discretionary and ! arbitrary control which the President claims and ex ercises over the public officers.” From the Georgia Argus. Some of the Whig press seem to be quite indig nant because of our opposition to the measure pro posed by them, for Congress to vote for the support of General Harrison’s family, twenty-five thousand dollars ef the people’s money. They seem ready to ascribe this opposition to a want of proper feeling and liberality toward the family of our late President. This is not the case, no such feelings prompt us to lift our voices against a measure so palpably uncon stitutional and extravagant. If the government oices Gen. H. any thing, we would urge an immediate discharge of the t’ebl. It does owe him by the laws of the country, one month’s salary and no more.— But, say the Whigs, the country ow es him a debt of gratitude. Well, if Congress establishes the uncon stitutional and dangerous precedent of paying of debts of gratitude out of the United States Treasury; let us go back and pay off equally asjust, and older claims than Gen. H’s. Let us search out the widows and orphans of revolutionary soldiers and pay them first; many of them no doubt are in much more need of a donation than Gen. Harrison’s family. The charge of Mr, Van Buren’s extravagance was tremendous; but we think we plainly foresee that the very evils which the cringing policy of the Adminis tration is intended to avoid, must be brought upon us by the adoption of that policy. Every cowering movement invites aggression. Every display, on the part of the Administration, of subserviency to En gland and to English interests, is regarded as evi dence that we are almost ripe for rerolonization. Had Mr. Van Buren been re-elected, we should not have heard the Whig Governor of New York complaining of interference with the rights of that State, and of the subserviency of the Administration to England. Tiie selection of Mr. Webster as premier was not only ill-advised hut unfortunate. He was, and is in the pay of the Bank of the United Stales, and is be lieved by many sensible and discreet men to be at this moment in British pay—not directly in the pay of the British Government, but of British capitalists. The late outfit of sixty-fire thousand, dollars, furnished by the Wall street money changers—mostly English men or mere English agents—under pretence that it was a manifestation of respect for his public services, was a very extraordinary transaction, and, when view- * Dew government to be composed of bank and state, in which bank is to be master and state is to be slave, and the people to be taxed and plundered for the benefit of both. I am here at the holicaust of the con stitution. If they succeed in their measures there w ill be nothing left of that instrument but its ashes. w ho are as ready to sack the place as our sailors are. A letter from Rangoon, of the 19ib March, pub lished in the Uurkaru of the 12lh April says, that the French official leaves this day for Calcutta, and issaid to be the bearer of a letter to the Governor of Bbur- # - wc me urain a inurr tu me uimcniui f m liuwr^ This, sir, is what I snatch a moment to write to you bm and King of the French, from his Burmese Mir- in answer to your inquiries.

Yet these same whigs, with all their clamour about the useless expenditures ol money by the late adminis tration, are the first to make a proposition to vote out of an empty Treasury the sain of 25,000, to pay a debt of gratitude. “ Be just before you are liberal;” let the government pay its own debts before it under takes to make donations to individuals. The Southwestern Georgian, a netural paper, in relation to this subject makes the following sensible remaks : “To this proposition but cne answer can be given; for if an innovation of this kind, to the established and fixed laws and customs of the country is once allowed, it would be impossible to predict where it w ould end. The credit of the States the suggestion which immediately followed, (coming from England too,) that the Gen eral Government should assume the debts of the States, and the conduct of Mr. Webster in dodging that question as a Senator, must cause everv w'ell in formed man to see the error the late President com mitted in the selection of his Secretary of State.

Good.—We absolutely feel cheered w henever we have an opportunity to copy an article like the fol lowing from a Whig paper. It is American in spir- iges and in all countries, been the bane of elective governments; and I have been fully determined ever since I have been on tiie stage of public affairs to have nothing to do with such contentions. I have always seen and now see in the ranks of the democratic parly many eminent citizens who are worthy to fill the place j °f having it put at rest, and therefore we ask that the of President; and it is my purpose now, as it has been question of the right of petition may be separated from heretofore, to promote the election, and to support the | *kat seeking the abolition of Slavery, and that the the Savannah Republican, as well as this paper, par ticipated in it; and we learn that for soin time it was prevalent even in New York. To the Editor of the Enquirer. Sir: My attention has been drawn to an extract in your paper of the 11th inst. from the Richmond Whig, which is in the following words “We note in the vote in favor of the amendment olj Mr. Adams, respecting Abolition petitions, the names j of many Loco/bco members—among others the name! of Van Buren—the son, we believe, of Martin. All these worthies last year, when tlie game was to make capital in the South for the little Kinderhooker, voted the other w’ay. Out upon such byprocrites!” Tuesday's Whig. 1 ou state in regard thereto, that the Van Buren j who is a member of Congress is not the son of the j late President. In this you are right. However proud I might he to be allied to a person ) of such eminent abilities and exalted character, a re gard to truth would oblige me to state, that I am not related to the late President, Martin V an Buren, ex cepting perhaps in a very remote degree; but more j particularly so, when Ibis erroneous circumstance is j made the occasion of an unjust attack upon him. In regard, Sir, to my vote, in common with several of my Democratic colleagues, upon the question re-! ferred to, we ask our Democratic brethren of the i South not to mistake our views.

THE McLEOD CASE. “It seems to us that the American national spirit, like Bob Acre’s courage, is rapidly ‘oozing out at the fingers’ ends.’ If this u'ere caused by the true Christain principle of peace and humility, it would be to us cause of great joy, and be a more real and sub stantial evidence of national improvement than any other; but it is not so. The whole root of it is the re verse. It is the consequence of national effeminacy— a natural result of the universal devotion to mam mon. “We are struck with this, on reading the argument of counsel and the effort of the Administration in the case of McLeod. “Th is fellow', in his folly, boasts (whether truly or not) that he was one engaged in the destruction of the ‘Caroline;’ in which a midnight murder was committed within the jurisdiction of New York, by a band of Canadian marauders.

Three years afterw ards, a man who professes to be one of the transgressors, is arrested; and forthwith the British Government, ityhe plenlitude of its assumption, undertakes to far ther the crime; and the American Government, for fear the quiet of the money changers may be broken, interferes to annul the cause of justice. Can this fa therly protection ol the British Government change and the corporation and state times of the first and second George; in a word to the whig times of Sir Robert Walpole; whose long corrupt, and pusillani mous administration was a continued practice of torv doctrines upon whig professions, and the source and origin of every curse which now affects the English people. We have gone back to tiie English times w hen the paper system, the funding system, the bank ing system, (as banks of circulation,) national debts, taxes, paper money, loans for the existing generation howitzers; iu landing they were fired upon by the Chi nese without effect. In the course of the night a sandbag battery was raised, the Chinese firing ai short interval on the working party all night. At dayligt this fire was returned with great effect from the newly raised batteries; about 11 A. M. on Friday, the signal was made to get under weigh with flood tide and a very light wind. The Calliope led into action; the Sarmaraug, Druid, Wellesley (lowed by the boats) Sulphur and to spend, and for posterity to pay, chartered compa- Modeste, all attacking the North Wantung fori, oc- nies with exclusive privileges, and monopolies anil ex emptions from law, the South Sea schemes and a thou sand other cheating contrivances, were all hatched in to existence under the hot incubation of Whig legis lation. We have gone back to the Walpole times when corporations began to treat with the Govern ment as equals, or to dictate to it as masters; when submission to insult and*depredation from abroad, and tyranny to patriots at home, was the practice and the policy of the administration; w hen the money was casionally firing at a small fort on the side of the ri ver opposite to Anunghoy, but this heavy fire was not j long answered briskly from the forts, and the steam- j ers, Nemesis aud Madagascar, soon were seen to j run close to the fort and land the soldiers from I on board of our boats they had towed.

They who took the Caroline and murdered the crew, were precisely in the attitude of highway robbers.” This is in the spirit wHIch actuated the late Admin istration, anti dictated the replies of Mr. Forsyth to the British Minister. Under the Democratic Ad ministration, a firm determination was manifested to voted to the public defence; w hen, to preserve peace, the nation was not put in arms but the minister placed upon his knees; when good men were persecuted, and the bad were promoted; when military, naval and civil officers were dismissed from employment for vo ting against the minister and his partizans put into of fice for voting for him; when secret committees com posed of political hacks, were made inqttisilers into the conduct of their political enemies, and never failed to find what the minister sent them to hunt for. We have gone back to the times when this, and such as this was the work of the English government; and w'hen a whig administration gave all the originals of which our federal whigs are now presenting us with faithful copies here. In every thing, great and small, foreign and domestic, legislative and executive, the Walpole whig measures of the reign of George the second, are the measures of our federal whigs here; and if the master spirits now in command should have as long time to work in, as their great original had in Eng land, thej’ would probably succeed in giving us as much debt and taxes, as many paupers and pensions, and as many corporations to rule, govern and bribe us, as the English people now have. But I fancy their reign will not be quite so long as lhat of the Walpole whigs in England—that it will hardly extend to twen- ter obtaining them—they seldom carrying out in the j resist the insolent demands of England, and maintain ; ty-five years; and of this the master spirits seem to be latter.-; The change of Adminis- a little suspicious themselves, and therefore are e world may have improved, ! tration has, however, evidently produced a change of j making hay while the snn shines.” Haste to apse of upwards of two thou- ! policy towards England.

The former shows stand, equal io w’hat took place at Chuenpee. The prisoners at Wantung were about one thousand, and were carried over by the steamers to Tycocktow- side and let go. TheiBlenheimand Melville, assisftd by the Queen steamer, attacked Anunghoy fort a little after the ac tion was begun; the Blenheim was not apparently so near as the Melville. Their fire was answered with spirit for some time; the marines and sea-men were landed and took possession of the lower fort; and soon went along the beach to the upper or old fort and the whole washy this time in our possession, the Chinese making off' up the hills. hills were covered with Chinese soldiers. At night, as we were coming away, they fired one or two guns, and soon after the whole line of hills where they had been encamped was in flames, I do not know how fir ed. The Calliope was leading a squadron up the ri ver, but how far thpy go, I did not hear. Not a man on our side was wounded, I believe, in North Wantung; I have not heard whether the Anunghoy divis.on was equally fortunate. It appears that after Captain Elliot’s notice of the re-opening of the trade, nine American and fourteen British ships proceeded to Whampoa, but in a few days new obstacles were thrown in their way. it being intimated that the Chinese traders were ail armed, as the ships of war were so near Canton, and that no trade would be carried on until they were re tune to which they dance, double quick I moved.
