CONGRESS.
House of Representative*, Jan. £B.
The question before Ihe House was Ihe re
ception of abolition petitions. Mr. Bynum,
of North Carolina, Yvas entitled to the floor.
Belore he could proceed in hts remarks he had
lo 01 ve the floor to several members, who
desired to explain remarks previously made.
Mr. Bynum began his speech, in the course
of which he was frequently interrupted. The
following is the conclusion of his speech, and
of the proceedings of the House uni lit ad
journed.
Mr. B. said, if there was any doubts in the
minds of the Southern people as to who were
and who were not abolitionists in the House,
they need only to refer to the speeches and
the votes of its members. If they wanted
further evidence, I would refer them to the
remarks of a certain member of this House
who characterised the Northern Democrats,
who usually imposed on tl ern, and who are
opposed to an interference with the rights of
i the South, as Southern slaves. He would
refer them to the remarks made by a certain
Abolitionist of the South, [Mr. Peck,] when
the vole was about being taken on laying
Mr. Cole’s resolution on tie table, “now
come up you Southern slaves, and show
yourselves.” Yes, sir this was the language
applied to the patriotic, high minded men,
who regard their constitutional obligations to
the South, who are for giving quite to the
to the North on this subject, and for preven
ting a servile and desolating war.
Mr. Peck here interrupted Mr. B. and de
sired to know if the geutlemao alluded to
him.
Mr. Bynum. I allude to a genrfeman of
tlie name of Peck.
Mr. Peck. I can only say that if theg n
tleman alluded to tne, and speaks of mv lan
guage as coming front an abolitionist, he says
what is not true.
Mr. Bynum. If the gentleman is not an
abolitionist, there is not one iu existence; all
his votes and all his speeches on that ques
tion are given iu support of the abolition par
ty. I believe he is one, and will venture to
say that there is not ten members in the
House who are not of the same opinion.
Mr. Peck again interrupted Mr. B. and
said it was not true that he was an abolition
ist.
Mr. Bynum. Does the gentleman mean
to say that I knowingly assert what is false?
Mr. Peck. I mean to say that the gentle
man asserts what is not true.
Mr. Bynum. Then I say that the gentle
man is a black guard and a scoundrel. Mr.
Speaker, it is now seen what course certain
gentlemen take when their conduct is expo
sed—wlieu their votes is brought to light in
opposition to their assertions the” resort to
the bullying and browbeating lor an answer.
The House will bear me witness that I ne-
ver willingly insult any one.
Mr. Peck. For tbe reason that he is inca
pable of doing so.
Mr. Bynum here amid loud cries of *’ or
der, order,” and while great confusion and
disorder was prevailing, made some remarks,
which were not distinctly heard by the Re*
poiter. He was understood, however, as
calling upon the Speaker to order “that hlaclv
guard and .scoundrel’” to take Iris seat and not
to interrupt him further.
Mr. Thompson, of S. C., with great reluc
tance. rose to a que-tion of order. He could
tint remain silent iu a body, whenever con
duct like this was permitted; and he trusted
that it would be the sentiment of the House,
that no excitement, however great, justified
language such as they had just heard. I move
said he, that before the gentleman from North
Carolina is allowed to preceed, the House
lake some order on the subject.
Mr. Jemeson moved that the House do ad
journ.
Mr. Peck, called for the yeas and nays, on
motion, which were ordered , and the ques
tion was taken—yeas S2, nays 141.
So ihe House refused to adjourn.
Mr. ‘Thompson of South Carolina, then
rose and said : I waited lor some time after
the objectionable language had been used by
the member f:om North Carolina, in hopes
that the general disappr >bation heard from
all sid'-s of the House would have induced
him to withdraw it.
Mr. Bynum said, if the gentleman would
give wa v one moment, he would make an
explanation, which he thought would be sat
isfactory to him and the House. I admit
said Mr. B. that mv language was harsh;
, that it was tinparliamentarv and unsuited to
i this body; hut I was driven to it by the out
rageous and wanton insult offered me. I
therefore, most eespectfully apologise to the
House, and hope this explanation will be sat
isfactory to it,
Mr. Johnson, of Maryland, boned that
this would satisfy the gentleman from South
Carolina. The gentleman from North Car
olina had made every explanation that the
house ought to require, and that he hoped
ihai he might he permitted to proceed with
his remarks.
Mr. Thompson, of S. C., after some re
marks, submit led to the House that the apo
logy of the gentleman from North Carolina,
[Mr. Bynum.] was not sufficient. He trust
ed the PI utse would consider it necessary for
the gentleman to withdraw tlie language he
applied to the gentleman of New York.
Mr. Bynum, “Never, never!” Several
voices at the same time were heard saying,
“ never, ne'er.”
Mr. Johnson, of Maryland, said the gen
t'eman from North Carolina had admitted
that he used language that was too s'rong,
and that he had apologised to the house lor
it. Thi< was all he thought the house ought
to ask. He thought the gentleman from N.
C. had done what was due to himself, and \
the position as a member on the iloo r , and he
hoped he might be permited to proceed with
his remarks.
Mr. Petrikin rose, and amid loud cries of
order, order, said he rose to a question of or
der. ‘There was a certain set of men in the
Hall who think they can do as they please,
and are in the habit of jumping up and itter
rupting gentlemen addressing the Chair,
whenever any tiring issaid that is unpalata
ble to them.
Mr. Johnson, of Maryland calling Mr.
P. to order.
The Speaker desired him to make his point
of order.
Air. Petrikin. I wil! sir. The gentleman
from North Carolina having apologised to;
the House fur his remarks. I move that the i
gentleman from New Ynrk [Air. Peck.] he j
required by the House to withdraw the in- j
suit ng language which cal ed it forih! Sir,,
said Air. P. we have Inn nothing hut diso-- j
der here from the begining of the sess on — j
Have n - e not heard to-day two-gentlemin 1
from New York, continually interrupting the j
member from North Carolina, who had the;
floor: and did not one af them get up, while
be was speaking, and make the most insulting ]
observation to him ?
Air. Johnson here interrupted Mr. Pelri
kin. and. with several others, called him to
order.
Air. Petrikin. Is this to be tolerated, Air.
Speaker? Is such bear-garden conduct to
1 be allowed in this Hall?
Loud cries of “ order, order,” during
which,
Air. Thompson, ol South Carolina, said
ihe resolution he offered yvus that the gentle
man should withdraw Iris language.
Air. Petrikin. I want that resolution read.
The Speaker said, that no resolution ol
the gentleman from South Carolina had been
received by the Chair.
Mr. Pstrikin then made a move to renew
hi< move.
Air. Thompson said that his motion had
precedence, and askeff that the question be
put on it.
Ti e Speaker was of the opinion that the
resolution of the gentleman from South Caro
lina was not offered.
Air. Petrikin’s resolution having been re
duced by him to writing, was here read bv
tlie Clerk.
Mr. Briggs said the rules required the
gentleman from Pennsylvania to put ihe
words used by the gentleman from New York
and to which he objected, in writing.
Air. Petrikin declined doing so when,
The speaker said the resolution, was then
out of order.
Air. Peck hoped the House would indulge
him in saying one word. He had risen, not
lbr the purpose of saying anything in rela
tion to the mot on of the gentleman from
Pennsylvania, [Air. Petrikin,] further than to
express his desire that if any member believed
lie had used language disrespectful to the
House, or indecorous or unparliamentary, he
would send to the Clrnir a resolution to that
effect. If tlie House should determine that
the language he used was offensive, lie would
leave his place here, he would leave tlie world
before he would retract it He was charged
with being an abolitionist. He denied the
charge; and belore he would retract that
denial, lie would cease to live.
Mr. Duncan then moved that the gentle
man. from North Car lina be permitted to
proceed ; which motion was agreed to with
out a division.
On motion of Mr. Hand,
The House then adjourned.
From the Globe.
MR. WALKER AND MR. CLAY.
It was not our intention to publish lit par
ticulars of tlie personal controversy between
these two Senators. A letter, however,
lias appeared in the Baltimore Patriot, so
grossly misrepresenting the whole matter, as
to render it due to truth and justice that the
facts should be stated precisely they occur
red without the change, addition or subtrac
tion of a word. A few days since Air. Clay,
in his speech, compared Gen. Jackson and
Martin Van Bttren to the two Charleses of
England, and also excited the laughter of bis
friends in the galleries, by a caricature des
criplion of Air. Van Bttren moving through
the rain with his umbrella hoisted and India
rubber coat. Next day Mr. Walker replied
at length, and whilst he fully disclaimed any
personal allusion to Mr. Clay, he said that the
laughter exciting faculty was one of the hum
blest of the human mind, and tarely united
with great intellectual vigor; and ihai it was
a power, the exercise of which v/as badlv
suited tothe dignity of this tribunal; that if
lie wanted to laugh, he would buy his ticket
and go and listen in the theatre to farce or
comedy; hut, that even if he possessed the
comic powers of Matthews him elf, he would
not exert them here ; and that in however
eminent a degree any one might possess the
laughter exciting faculty, they should remem
ber that this was a faculty m which every
harlequin was their equal, and every, circus
clown greatly their superior.
The next day Air. Clay said that he would
answer fir.-1 ihe giant matter on ihis side of
the House, hefore replying to the small con
cern (turning towards Air. Walker) on the
other. When Mr. Clay closed, Air. Walker
said, that in his speech of yesterday, the
Senator from Kentucky had been treated
by him with that decorum, which was due to
his station, and the respect he felt for this
body; that how far that Senator had pursued
a similar course, or how far he had exhibited
that lotal absence of all decorum, which was
constitutional with, and a part of the nature
of some gentlemen, he submitted to the con
sideration of the Senate and the country. He
said he had made no assault upon the Sena
tor from Kentucky; that he was not in the
habit of making assaults upon any one; hut
if he did, it would be upon the living, and net
upon the dead or the dying; and that he
would leave that Senator to all the cona ii
tion which he could derive from that “hono
rable discharge” to wh ch he had declared
himself fully entitled, and which he presumed
he had so lately received; that he would
leave him, as he would any other crushed
victim of a different kind, expiring in the dust
in agony, from an overflow of its own venom.
Mr. Clay replied, that he was neither dead
nor dying; that he thought, last year, the
Senator Irom Mississippi was dying, hut was
glad to see it was not so, and that his health
was restored. He would sav to the Senator
ami those who acted with him, that he was
never too old to repel and punish impudence,
come from what quarter it might, or to meet
the calls which every gentleman of honor is
bound to attend to. Air. Walker said, lie
would only remark, that if the hen r ble Se
nator desired to repel and punish elsewhere
any grievance which he might complain of
having received from him, that he would
promptly accept any call which the Senator
had intimated he might be disposed to make
for satisfaction, here or elsewhere. Air. Clay
said, he felt rrogriefat any thing said by the
Senator from Mississippi; that the Senator
was incapable of exciting an emotion in Iris
bosom; but what he now said was, that he
was not too old, and never would he, while
his pi he beat, to repel impertinence, and that,
he at all lim -s.w u!d respond to any cali which
that Senator might make upon him, here or
elsewhere. Here tlie matter closed, and has,
lor the i resent, been arrested ; and as we
are determined not to be rt agitating the
question, we refrain from comments.
THE HARRISBURG NOMINEE.
Since the deliberations of this body, we
have been frequently amused at the Haltering
in the Southern portion ol the Whig ranks.
Notwithstanding Mr. Ciay, (who by the wav
is the only prominent individual in those ranks
for whom the State Rights parly have ever
cared an iota) has endorsed the claims of
Gen. Harr son, proceed.ng as they do, beyond
all question, Irorn the alliance of the North
ern Abolitionists and Federalists—it will not
U.ke. Just at this moment a forcible illustra
tion of this position presents itself to our
minds, in the examples of the Columbus En
quirer, and the Georgia Journal. They each
have bolted on the score of Abolition.’ The
latter print saying that it had as soon support
Arthur Tappan.
In our opinion this move has been peculi
arly fortunate lor t!je State Rights party. Ii
happened at a critical juncture. Had it oc
curred a few months lner, many of the lead
ina State Rights politicians and presses wool I
have irretrievably lost their indentityof p in
ciples and action, by the contaminating aili
ance of Federalists and Abolitionists. ‘’Hiere
was visible pain upon the reception of tht

nomination, lor it was anxiously hoped lhat
the choice would have fallen .upon Mr. Clay.
The equivocal course of a portion of ihe
press m tins State upon the question of the
Presidency and its sudden backing out from
the support of Harrison, offers, To gay the
least of it, some coloring for the opinions lhal
they had only engaged in the controversy,
solely that it might result in the ascendancy
of Mr. Clay. The Georgia Journal could
not conceal its chagrin. In speaking of the
proceedings of the Convention, its I mguage
was ‘ they had niggled it with a vengance
VV e sympathise with those, it’ there be any,
who have thus seen their dearest hopes decay,
and would ask them to have the boldness to
shape their course in sttcli a manner that their
influence shall not be virtually leiit to fixing
upon this country the odious amalgamation
of Federalism and -Abolitionism, so aptly per
sonified in the Harrisburg nominee. We ask
them to pause and refit et upon the conse
quences, il successful, of giving the vote of
Georgia to Gov. Troup. Will ii not be len
ding their influence to the cause of Harrison?
Is there any preference between Van Buren
and Harrison? Is party rancour to be car
ried to such au extent that Southern inen are
to view as nothing, soundness upon the great
questions, the American System and Finance.
We hope thanhe contemplated State Rights’
Convention may give to these consideratTons,
such interest and weight as their consequen
ces demand . —Georgia Jeffersonian.

ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS.
The Lexington. —The New‘York Courier
of Monday, 2, P. M. says :
“ The gentlemen who left this city on Fri
day to explore the coast of Long Island in
the vicinity of the recent disaster, have just
returned (half past 12, P. M.) Up to last
night there had been no further discovery of
bodies. Several artie'es of baggage have
been picked up; among others a writing desk
with the name Samuel Lacey; a package of
letters by the Splendid from Canton, directed
to a ffouse in Boston. A complete line of ob
servation has been established along the coast
under the direction of the Coroner and Wreck
master.
An inquest was held in New York on Sun
day, on toe bodies of five individuals which
were found floating near the Long Island
Snore. The tesiimony given before the Co
roner related to the const uctiou of the boat.
Os this testimony the Courier and Enquirer
remarks:
It appears to us entirely exparte, and that
such evidence only was adduced as would
exculpate the owners of the Lexington from
all blame. We sincerely hope that in this
attempt they may succeed, yet it would be
folly in them to suppose that"the public feel
ing on this subjfct can be allayed, without
a perfect investigation into all the circum
stances connected with this most melancholy
occurrence.
From the same paper we take the follow
ing:—
The bodies found in the boat at Miller’s
landing, we are informed, were all frozen
stifl and stark, ai.d much covered with ice.
All were in a sitting posture, with the eyes
closed as in sleep. Thai of Mr. Waterbury
hag the head thrown backward, and one
band lifted up, as in supplication to the deity.
The boy who was picked up about 200 rods
to the Eastward ot O.d Field light had his two
little hands raised to his ears. Captain Man
chester says, that shortly after the fire broke

The American remarks that among the
many incidents connected with this fearful
calamity, that of finding the dead body ol a
little boy, aged hiur years, his face covered
with a lady’s green veil, “ the last act,” as
the Express well says, “ of a mother’s love to
screen the lace of her child from the advan

who dares to trust his imagination, even for
an instant, to picture the realities of that
most tragic night.
But human nature is every where the same,
whether among the savages of the Florida
Cape, the little better than savage wreckers
ol Cornwall, or those ol the Jersey or Long
Island shores. The baggage of the passen

many cases, instantly rifled, and thus not
only was property feloniou-ly taken, hut the
means of identifying pas>e igeis ab>ut whose
actual passage on board there may be doubt,
annihilated.
Some of the w reck-masters, however, on
the Long Island shore have, on their own re
sponsibility, appointed mounted men to watch
the shores for the space of many miles, and
secure whatever may be washed up.

board the Lexington. She was married the
day before, and was going to take leave of
the family.
