The Retort. The report of the se
lect committee appointed to consider the
veto message of the President, is but a
reiteration of the abuse heaped upon the
President by the organs of his own party
because, forsooth, he has wisely vetoed
the "distribution tarifTbill," an act which
every honest politician is ready to ac
knowledge has saved the country from
the ruinous consequences that would in
inevitably result from such a measure.
The most inveterate opposcrs of Mr Ty
ler, who, by-the-bye, are the leuing
members of the parly tbat elected him,
have taken ground that places them be
fore the people in Gicir true colours.
On the 19th inst. another revenue bill
was introduced in the House, which will
insure revenue and incidental protection
to manufactures. Though the bill was
introduced by Mr. Ingcrsoll it is thought
that it will receive the support of a por
tion of the more moderate of the whigs,
from the consideration" that a move
has been made by the manufacturers in
favor of a tariff bill without distribution.
The Ncwbureport Herald says: "A
petition was circulated yesterday in
town, urging upon Congress to pass a
Tareffand Revenue Bill, disconnected
with the Land Bill. Almost every indl
vidual who saw it, gladly affixed his sig
nrturc to the petition."
A writer in the Boston Courier says,
the leading party in Congress have cou
pled the distribution measure with the
vital one of providing a revenue for the
country, and of saving the manufacturing,
mercantile and mechanic interests from
their impending ruin. They have done
so with a knowledge that it would be
vetoed by the executive; and what is to
be gained by this absurd, not to say un
principled attempt, to gratify past per
sonal and political animosity, at the ex
pense of the whole nation."
The editor of the Boston Courier re'
marks as follows in reference to distri
bution: "We do not believe there are ten
men in New England who care two far
4fittrrc nTnM lli1 Mm lorttl lvllftor it li

M mnml rr Tint? full fl fnrill finn n rpvi. '
nue are wanted and must be had. It is
evident they cannot be had with distribu
tion; for mercy's sake, then let us have
it milhovi distribution.""
So it seems that in the manufacturing
districts the feeling is decidedly in favor
of a tariff and a revenue, even though it
should be necessary to drop the favorite
distribution scheme to accomplish it.
8,000 Whigs is Concil! The Cin
cinnati Gazette of the 22d inst says:
"The meeting of the Whigs at Hamilton
on Saturday was a most spirited a.Tuir.
Eight thousand at least were there ! The
farmers, with their wives and daughters,
were there. The mechanics were there
and they brought with them their work
shops. The multitude were there; "an
army with banners." The same old coon
that was out in 1840, was there, w ith
several young ones. The speeches of
Messrs. Slorer, Schenck, Corwin and
Soulhgatc were admirable. The reso
lutions were excellent and spirit-stirring.
Clay, Davis and Corwin were
brought out, and the resignation of the
hig members heartily approved.
Resolutions condemning the course of
Capt. Tyler, and requesting him to re
sign Lis office, were unanimously adopt
ed!" The old coon was there too. Well,
we were in hopes that that auxiliary at
least, would not have been called into re
quisition during the present campaign.

Robbery and Murder is St. louis
Count v. On the night of the 2Gth inst.
Maj. G. B. Floyd, who resided about
three miles from St. Louis, was aroused
from sleep by the sound of foot-steps
about his house. He took a double bar
reled gun in his hand, and immediately
opened the door, when he was assailed
by five men, armed with clubs and
knives. He snapped his gun at the in t
but both caps burst without discharging
the piece. After an ineffectual attempt
to beat them off, he was overpowered and
stabbed in several places. Mrs. Floyd
was knocked down at the coinmiccrocr
of the assault. The villains ransacked
the house, broke open, trunks, drawers,
&c, in (teach 'Jl money, but obtained on
ly fifty collars and a pair of pocket pis
'.jis. Mr. Floyd lingered until Sunday,
when he expired. The villains were
traced to St. Louis and arrested. One
of them effected his escape on the night
of the arrest; the other four were to un
dergo an examination on Monday last.
Fanaticism. Miller, who pretends
that the second advent will take place in
'43 is said to be gaining converts by
scores in Massachusetts, and others of
the New-England states. The U. States
Gazette in speaking of this new doctrine
says: "We have seen a few persons who
had adopted the views of that gentleman
They appeared sincere, and not without
much foundation for their opinion, provi
ded their interpretation of portions of the
sacred volume were admitted. We see
now that there is increased earnestness
in Mi. Miller's followers, and more posi
tive evidences of their dependence upon
his expositions of scriptural prophecies
In some parU of N. England, there ap

ing one by one, feelings of earthly attac h
ment, and earthly leanings, and putting
on that frame of mind which belongs to
those who arc "looking unto and waiting
for the glorious coming."
An exchange paper says the Whigs of

Mr, Clay's previous defeats, and assert
that the party can only be united by

Health or New Orleans. "he
Crescent City of the 19th inst. says tiie

for the circulation of the notes of that

Nkw Onr.KANs, Aug. 19.
Important From Texas. The
schooner Endeavor arrived at this
port early yesterday morning from
Galveston, by which we received pa
pers to the Cili instant.
The llousson papers give the par
ticulars in relation to a projected
campaign across the llio Grande au
thorized by the Executive. The ser
vices of thirteen hundred men are to
be received they arc to elect llicir
own officers and have pe'.mWion to
levy contributions r.',.on the Mexican
towns for the-,- suppoit. Washing
ton. Mo:,tromerv, Fayette, and Hast-
Vop counties are authorized to furnish,
each. 132 men, and ttrszoria, Austin,
Fort Bend, Harris. Robertson, Milam,
Gonzales, Colorado, Jackson, Victo

No troops arc authotied from the
eastern counties, unless saiisiactorv
assuumces arc jivrn of their ability
o subsist themselves while passing
through the West, without burlhen-
ing the people of tha'. section. I5e,ef
and such ammunition as mnv ntiS
linn 1 will be furnished by the Gov
ernment. The rendezvous is to be lit
the Sulphur Springs near tfte mouth
of the Cib.'li. The Telecrnph s'ates
that Gen- Burleson, Col. J. II. Moore,
and Col. Cook, of Washington coun
ty, will join the expedition.
After tiie above w:u in type. wp
met a gentienmon who had received
a letter from Galveston, inrorminj
him on the authority of Col. Cook
that every merchant vessel in tli
port of Vera Cruz, some fifteen or
twenty, had been pissed to convey
Mexican tro..ns to the number of
7,000 to Yucatan as was said, but
it is surmised their destination is the
city of Galreston. If this is so. r.nd
we" cannot doubt it, a serious "flare

CONGRESS.-
On the 1 Sili. Hi Senate was in
Executive session throughout the day,
engaged upon the Treaties. The
The progress n.ade is not known.
The Wv.ind.iite treaty was ratified
yrsterd "iv. The public business has
"been nothing to-day.
In the House, the motion t recon
sider the vote on the res.'hi'inn re
commended by Mr. Adams to destroy
lie veto power, was discussed by
Messrs. Wie. Rainier, Davis "f'd
Arnold. Mr. Granger moved the
previous (iicstin, and the House ic
lused to iccon;ji.r, by a vote of 1 10
to 14.
Mr. Fillmore now presented a re

introduced yesterday, instructing ihe
committee to brin i:i a Kev mie Bill.
striking out the 27tli section of the
bill jiit pawl, and placing t a and
conti'ee among the fli-e articles.
Mr. Fil'm re stated tint lliH reso
lution was nrceary to an expres
sion of npii.ion as t the ability ol
the House to do imy thing. If any
bill was to be pissed, it must be one
on which the House had expressed
an opinion, as there was not lime or
disposition, at this period of the ses
sion, to go into the subject anew.
Mr. Filhnoie proposed tins previous
question; but beiore there vsna sec
ond.
Mr. Smith, of a., moved to bli
the resolution upon the table. 1 lie
yeas and nays were asked by Mr.
Fillmore, and ordered by the House.
The motion was lost ayes 75, noes
103.
Mr. Fillmore moved for a call of
the House, in order that there might
be a full vote on ttiis reso.ution. which
he regarded as a test of the determi
nation of the House, on the subject
of passing a revenue bill at this ses
sion. Alter the call had been made,
the House proceeded to vote; sever
al Whigs, Mr. Fillmore among the
number, not answeiing when the
names were reap by the clerk.
Mr. Wise inquired, if the House
could not compel every member pres
ent to vote, or ptuiidi him for refu
sing. The Speaker answered that the
House had vc ngiu so u uo. .,.
Wise then slated that Messrs. Mathiot
and Calhoun of Massachusetts had
not voted. Their mines were then
called and Mr. Calhoun voted in the
affirmative, Mr. M. in the negative.
M. McClellan of N. Y. asked that
the name of the chairman of the
Committee on W ays and Means Mr.
Fillmore, should be called. Mr. Fill
more then rose and said, tlnt4as his
colleague was so anxious about the
matter be would answer to his name,;
and vote no against his own resolu
tion. The vote stood for the resolu
tion 8G. against it 114.
Mr. VV. W. Irwin, of Pennsplva
nia, rose and moved that the rules of
the House be suspended, lor the pur
pose of enabling him to introduce a
bill entitled, "A bill to provide reve
nue from imports, and to change and
modify existing laws imposing duties
on imports, and for other purposes."
This bill is substantially the same bill
as that returned by the President
with his objections, striking out the
27th section, which repealed the pro
viso in the laud distribution law, of
the extra session, and admitting tea
imported in American vessels from
beyond the Cape of Good Hope, and
coiTee, free of duty. The House
then adjourned, the Speaker an
nouncing that Mr. Irwin's motion
would be the first business in the or
ders of the day the next morning.
In the Senate on the 19lh, an inef
fectual effort was made to take up
the resolution fixing the day of ad
journment. The Senate then went
into Executive session
In the House, lifter the considera
tion of some miscellaneous business,
Mr. Campbell of S. C. movod that
the Committee of Ways and Means
be instructed to report forthwith a
revenue bill, in accordance with the
Compromise Act. The House refus
ed to suspend ihe rules to receive the
resolution. Mr. Everett offered a
resolution directing the Committee ol
Ways and Means t report a bill
which be submitted reject, ayes 81,
noes 105. Mr. C. J. Ingersoll offer
ed a resolution from the Committee
on the Judiciary, in relation to the
collection of tiie revenue. Objec
tion being made, Mr. Ingersoll mov
ed that the House go into Committee
of the Whole, and gave notice that
he should then propose to take up
the bill to supply a temporary defect
or failure in the laws relating to the
oiled ion-of duties on imports. Mr.
Ii win claimed the floor, on his mo
tion of the preceding day, to suspend
th rules to take up the revenue f ill
submitted by him. The House re
fused to suspend the rules.
The question then recnrrinjon the
motion of Mr. C. J. Ingersoll. that
the House resolve itself into Commit
tee of the Whole on the Stale of the
Union.
Tim yeas r.nd nays w ere taken and
resulted as follows: Yeas 91, nays
34.
So the House resolved itself into Com
mittee of the Whole, J. U. Intrersoll in
the Chair. The Chairman said the first
business before the Committee was the
further consideration of the Navy Bill.
Mr. C. J
Ingersoll then moved that the
conspiration of that bill be postponed for
the present carried by a vte of 9.0 to
. . ... . . 1 . : I f
Ihi. M r. 1 men moved mat me Lomniii

lowing: lie it enacted by Hit Senate and I oust
of Reymndutirts of the I'nilcd Stiiten of
.Imerica in ( 'on gift assembled: That,
from and after the passage of this act, the
same duties upon imports shall be levi

year 1S40, and such average rale of duty
shall hereafter be levied, collected, and
paid as a specifiio duty upon the impor
tation of the said articles, in the same
manner as if such respective specific du
ties were respectively imposed by this
act
Sec. 2. And hi- it further enacted,
That on the importation of till the

railroad iron prior to the third day of
March next, of the benelits and ad
vantages secured to them, respective
ly, by the proviso to the 5tli section
of the said act relating to the duties
and drawbacks.
Mr. Barnard moved to amend the
bill so that it should not apply to any
case where a penalty had been pro.
vi.Ied bv law, &x. Mr. Ingersoll
modified his motion so as to make
the above bill an amendment, to be
inserted at tho end of the bill report
ed by the Committee on the Judicia
ry, providing that the duties in force
on the thirtieth of June should be
continued until some new tarilF of
duties should be imposed. Tlje mo
tion of Mr. Barnard was then warm
ly discussed by Messrs. Adams, Profltt
Gushing, Granger, Marshall, and
Thompson, of Indiana. Mr. Me
Kennan then moved, as a substitute
for the bill, that which was ollered
bv Mr. Irwin on the preceding day.
The Chairman pronounced the mo
tion out of order. Mr. McK. then
made a few remarks, and the Com-
mit'ee rose and repoi ted. The House
then adjourned.
Arrival of the Britannia.
Fifteen Days later from Europe.
The steamship Britannia, Captain
Hewitt, from Liverpool, arrived in
Boston, Sunday morning, the 17th in

She brought 91 passengers from
England landed 23 at Halifax and
took on board 15, making 106 pas

The news from England in regard
to the crops is more favorable than
any that has been received for some
months past.
About the 23d tilt, the weather,
which previous to that date bad been
very impio 'itious for the harvest, un
derwent a favorable change, and since
that period has been exceedingly fine
and. in consequence, the most san
guine hopes are now entertained of
a plentiful giain crop. The corn mar
kets throughout the country arc much
depressed.
This state of things has already
had a beneficial effect on the trade of
the country, and should the fine
weather continue, ihere is little doubt
but that the starvation and distress
which have so extensively prevailed
throughout the country, will only be
known in the remembrance of a ca
lamity that has passed away.

C days from Galveston. We receiv
ed no papers by her, but a gentleman
who came passenger informs tis that
new had been received nt Galves
ton of the movement of JOJO Mexi
cans, under Gen. Ileis, towards the
borders of Texas. Commissions had
been issued to ritiso citizen suluiers
for the purpose of protecting the bor

came passenger in the II. Two
Mexicans had been taken prisonrs on
the borders, who stated that the Mexi
cans were preparing for another inva
sion, and that the orders from Santa
Anna were totake no prisonrrs.
This information, tliouizh not offi

may hi depended upon; but we still

man knows better than ihe uapole-
