THE CAPITOL,


WASHINGTON, / after T. M.
Tsras Anmsred by the House Of Representatives
Great Ercitement and Rejoicing Votes of the
Nelc York AAn,bers.
JAMES g. BENNETT, Esq. =
The prediction communicated by me relative to
the passage of joint resolution through the House
OF Representatives, has been fulfilled, and the pro-
position of Milton Brown, wing member from
Tennessee, has been adopted, as ! previously in
formed you it would. Various propositions were
made in Committee Of the Whole, after the debate
had been closed to-day, all of which were voted
down until the one passed was reached, when
the Committee rose and adopted It up test vote
Of lis to lel, making IL majority. The democra-
tic members from New York State who voted
against IT, were-Joseph H. Anderson, of West
chester; Levi D. Carpenter, of Oneida Jeremiah
Z. Cary of Otsego Amasa Dana, of Tompkins;
Richard D. Davis, OF Duchess Byram Green, OF
M Purdy, Of Chenango George Raihbun, of Ca
yuga; Oryille Robinson, of Oswego David l.. Se-
mour OF Rensselaer,; Lemuel Stetson, of Clinton
Horace G. Wheaton, of Onondaga, being thirteen
G. Clinton, of Oranse;.. Q. Ellis, of Saratoga,
VIM. 5. Hubben, of Steuben; Moses G. Leonard,
OF New York city; Wm B. Macay Of ditto; Henry
jeremiah Russell, Of Ulster; seIah s9ong, Of
Suffolk; all the wings from New York State voted
against the bill. The wings who voted for the
bill are John B. Ashe, Joseph II: Peyton, Milton
Brown and William 7. Senter OF Tennessee; Dun.
can l. Cinch, and Alexander II Stephens, of
Georgia, and James Dellet of Alabama.


The final vote on the passage Was decided, yeas
100, nays SO, as the ayes and nays show In an
other column.


This plan admits Texas as State and allows
her TO retain all public funds, debts, taxes and
lands due her. after the surrender to the national
n he ia al IN
retain all her public lands and apply their proceeds
to the payment OF her debts and liabilities, none
of which are TO become charge to this govern
ment The line OF slave territory is settled under
the Missouri compromise, and the additlonal States
are to be admitted into the Union with, or without
slavery, as the people OF each State asking adms-
sion may desire In the State or States north of
this boundary 36 degrees 80 minutes north latitude,
slavery is prohibited forever This part is small
indeed, hardly more than enouPh for one State and
it will be long before 1t is settled


The question now stands ready for the Senate.


The treaty plan Of annexation, you will remem-
Der, was defeated IN the Senate the 9th of June,
at the last session, by the following vote:-The de-

Edward A. Hannegan, democratic senator
from Indiana, did not vote upon the question.


1t will require twenty-seven votes in the Senate
to carry joint resolution, and it will be seen by
the above vote that all the yeas were democrats
except Mr. Henderson from Mississippi, and that
seven democrats voted with twenty eight wings IN
the negative. To secure prospect of success in
the S~nate, it will require the sixteen votes before
recorded in favor of annexation, and all the demo.
cratic Senators who then voted against II, viz: -
Atherton, of N. H.; Benton, of Missouri; Allen
and rappaa. OF OHIO; Fairfield, Of MAINE Maine miles Niles
son and DIX, recently elected from New York,
which, combined, will give but twenty -four
votes. being three shori OF a majority. Mr.. Han
negan's vote will make but twenty-five, thus
leaving two more to be obtained from the
whig side OF the House before any resolution
can be adopted. Among the whig senators II
is probable that Mr., Foster, of Tennessee,
who recently presented joint resolution in favor
of annexation as State, may feel disposed to vote
In the affirmative, and il Is supposed that Mr. Bar
row or Johnson, of Louisiana may vote,on that SIDE
of the question under Instructions from their Le-
gislature. But the Ohio democratic senators have
been instructed by whig Legislature to vote
against annexation; should they comply, or should
they not, 1t certainly appears next 10 impossible
that any joint resolution will pass the Senate at
the present session, unless the Southern wings
unite upon some measure in order to take to them
selves the credit of its passage.


The plan just adopted by the House similar to
that introduced by Senator Foster, a whig men,
Der from Tennessee, and therefore whig votes sui.
ficient may be obtained 10 pass it


The specalations circulated throughout the coun-
try relative to the formation of the cabinet of Pre-
sident Polk are without any foundation, as / am
assured by those who were in his private cores
pondence before the election, that he has not COM
municated word since with even his most intl-
mate and long known political friends east OF the
mountains. He will arrive in this city about the
~ and thA &IA RI
rooms selected for him at Coleman's popular Ho-
tel, when 1t is to be hoped for the credit Of the de-
mocratic party and honor OF the county, that the
dlsgracefu scenes exhibited here in lS40, will not
be initiated by office seekers 1t is yet uncertain
into whose special hands the President will entrust
his counsels, whether it be his former friends
ly most prominent in elevating him to the
station he now, occupies. My impression
is, that, with but few special objections,
not an individual will receive surety for any
prominent public place until after the cabinet Is
fully selected, and the new government in active
operation: James Buchanan, Of Pennsylvania,
will be offered seat In the cabinet-of this you
may rest assured John c. Calhoun will either
remain in his present position or be sent to Eug-
land to conclude the negotiations relative to our
Northern Oregon boundary. Messrs. WickIffe,
Postmaster General, and Mr.. Bibb, Secretary OF
Treasury, will resign, and it Is probable that Mr.
Mason, the present Secretary of the Navy, will
remain. Should Mr.. Wilkins, Secretary Of War,
withdraw, which ne must # Mr.; Buchanan comes
in, Senator Walker will enter the cabinet as At
torney General. These my speculatons,
founded on much observation, and some strong
evidence of prospective facts.


Nothing will be done this session to change the
character OF the present tarif-this yen may set
down certain, The bill reducing postage will
pass, provided the press of the country immediate
ly commence cannonade against Congress until
they surrunder, but without such battery nothing
will be accomplished.
