Congressional

We have before mentioned that quite a war had been comme;ced upon the reporters by different roembers. One was pmiirnelïed and knoclted througha window" by Mr. WeiIer, ofOhio. Mr. Ingersol!, of Pa., called on the Speaker to expel Mr. Sargennt, a reporter of the V. S . Gazetle, because he had characterized fi question of Mr Í. to Mr. Adams as impcrtinent. Mr. Wisedeclared that he knew Mr. Sargeant to be the most mendacious letter-writer in the country: that this had been proved under oath in courts of justice; and that "wlien called toan account for'his lies, hts cowardice was equal to his mendacityi" Xhis produccd a great Kensation. Mr; Adams RndoreetJ what the reporter had said, and Mr. Ingcrsoll repÜed with severily, and ngain cdled on the Speaker to expel Mr. Sarrrennt. Mr. Wmthrop hegtin to spealc, but was interrupted by a dozeo or -20 nt oncfr. Then, says the reporter of the N. Y. Sun, "ensued such a scène of confusión and disorder, tliat 1 could aot characterize il trnly and faithftilly. without mysr-lf Viable to be expelled from the House; 20 or So mevnbers were np nt once, 'addressing1 the chair; most of the. üthers were walking across the floor; the hngh'mg, ialkinrr, and confusioir, was indiscribable. At lasl, Mr. Cave Johnson, vvho is twenty years behind the ag-é, moved lo rxpel all the reporters except those Jor the. city papers!!! This was declared to be out of order, when he snkl he woul.l try it %ome othef time. Liberal and enlighlencd man! Afier nearly a dozen oí propositioos had been made, the subject was indeh'nitely post poned, andido Hou?c adjourned without doing any thing the tvhole day. Thé next day Mr. Cave Johnson ngain offered a motiou to expel all the reportera and ietter-writers, except those for the city pa pers; which paper?, be it rememberod, the two pnrties in tlie House have eniirely ondor their control, os facas the ieports aro concernod; nnd, os in the case óf Mr. Bcardsley ontl Mr. Wclier, jf a request is made not to publish u particular speech, it s suppressed uxn'ú the Speaker has time lo write his own version o! it. And tliis is called the "freedom of the prees!'1Mr. Johnson's rrotion was decided tobe out of order to day, but he will bring it up apnin on Monda}'.

Henry A. Wise has been confirmed by the Senate ns Minister to Brazil. Q= Anoth alaveholder, nnd a Vi r giman!' The 2Ist rule baa been discussed bij hour evrry day, as usual. Saya nri exchauge, Mr Wrighu of Ia., opposed ihe sist rule-lwa n favor of receiving petitions nnd refasing he prnyer, as the best rneons of ullayinj the bolition excitement- was opposed toVoíitioñ n the District, on account of the infiuence that would be lliua exerted on slavery inibe So th Mr. Stiles, of Georgia, spoke in favor ofwl eiuding petitions. He referred to tho grea mercare of aboHtionists from their number ten years since, wben the few obscure fanatics u'ho ndvocated aboHlion oxcited the coiitcmpt nnJ dorision of the whole country, tffi spirit of aboJilion,' snid ho, hna ndvanced tf s fldvancing.' No doubt of thut, Stilcg bnt what do yon mean fo do about i;?

The only ivay tfiot we can Buggest for pütks dmv aboÜiion, thatseems at all feasible, i5 to put down slavery- and then obolilion wjll cx. pire by its ovvn lirnitation.
