Washington, June 25, J842.is 8oon as the message was read, Mr. Adarns attacked it with great vehemence, pronounced it to be alike unbecoming and unconstitutional. and moved i:s reference to a select committce, with power to send for persons and papers. Mr. Wise replied to Mr. Adama, delended the president, and quoted the example of Gen. Jackson, in justificaron oí Mr. Tyler. Mr. Adama replied to Mr. Wise, and supported his motion by a speech at lcngth. He said if these reasons were only personal explanations of the pjesident's views, they would be innocent and harmless; but if intended to opérate as a judicial construction tbey would be an usurpation of power, and highly deleterious. Under this view, the resolution, was adop ted, without further debate. The bilí to pay Silae Dcane's lieirs so:ne $200,000 that his cotemporaries, who employed him CO yeats ago, could never discover to be due to him, has also passed tho Senate, and m'iy get through the House as too mnn7 petition claims do, to the injury of honest claimants. The Veto Messige of the provisional tariff bilí was discussed by Cushing, Proífií, and Walker in defence of the President, and by Briggs, Smart, Tillinghast, and Lane, in opposition to the President's course.
