Mr, Medill advocated the motional great length, and called for a reading of extracts from apamphlet animadverting with great severity upon the public and private conduct of Mr, Doty. He also introduced the proceedings of a whig meeting in the Territory signed by sixty persons, of the same political sentiments withthe Governor, condemning his conduct .in the severestmanner. In the course ol his remarks, Mr. M. stated that he was a defaulter, a swindler, and guilty of the grossest acts of corruption as an officer of the government; that he had removed good men and appointed his partners in fraudand iniquity to fill the most responsible offices. For example, said Mr. Medill, he appointed one partner to be the sheriff of the county in which he resides, another as Treasurer of the Territory, and his lawyer who had aided hitn in his frauds as attorney-general. Being nevertheless a good Whig, his political brethren in Congress refused to strike out the appropriation.
