report what legislation is necessary to give full effect to that part of the Constitution which provides that the citizens of each State shall be entitled to all the privileges and immunities of citizens of the several States; and also, what legislation is necessary to secure to all people — whether residing or traveling through any State--the full benefit of that part of the Constitution which secures them against unreasonable searches and seizures in the absence of probable cause. Mr. Sherman offered a series of resolutions, that the only true and effective remedy for the dissensions that now exist between the several States and the people thereof, is the faithful observance by the several States and the people thereof of all the compromises of the Constitution and the laws made in pursuance thereof; and that the Special Committee of Thirty-three be instructed to inquire whether any State or the people thereof have failed to obey and enforce the obligations imposed by the Cons

can people; that the present unfriendly feeling which exists has risen from the usurpations of Congress and the Executive; that the rights of American citizens are above Congress and the President, and Territorial governments should not be compelled to derive their powers from their consent; that there shall be no legislation whatever on the subject of slavery; that every Congressional District shall be entitled to one Presidential Elector, and each State to two on general ticket. Mr. John Cochrane submitted a preamble declaring that a conflict of opinion, dangerous to the peace and prosperity of the Union, has risen, concerning the true intent and meaning of the Constitution relative to African slavery, and proposing amendments to the Constitution to the following effect: To establish a dividing line similar to the Missouri Compromise, prohibiting Congress from passing laws interfering with the inter-State slave trade, or the rights of slaveholders in transition temporarily sojo

Mr. Holman offered a resolution declaring that the right of secession was wholly unwarranted by the letter and spirit of the Constitution; that mutual and common obligations render it obligatory on the Federal Government to enforce, in good faith, the laws enacted pursuant to its authority; and instructing the Committee to inquire whether any action is necessary (in view of the present condition of public affairs) against an attempt by any State to nullity the laws necessary for the existence of the

ing concluded, the Senate went into Executive session, and shortly thereafter adjourned. House of Representatives.--The Speaker, pursuant to the order of yesterday, called the States for the submission of propositions relative to the present condition of the country. Nearly two dozen different propositions were presented and referred to the Special Union Committee. Many of them proposed amendments to the Constitution on the slavery question, and all looking to conciliation. Mr. Thayer submitted a series of resolutions, declaring, among other things, that the representatives of the people regard it as a duty to forget all parties and sections, and devote themselves honestly and earnestly to the cause of the country; that any citizens of this republic willing to barter the public welfare for their own advantage, thus creating animosity between the States, are wholly unworthy of the honor and confidence of the American people; that the present unfriendly feeling which exis

If this is not possible, then as to a reasonable and just mode of settlement with the separated parts. Mr. Leake offered a resolution that the Constitution ought to be amended so that Congress may have no jurisdiction over the question of domestic slavery in the States and Territories, District of Columbia, arsenals and dockyards; that it shall be the duty of Congress efficiently and adequately to protect it by legislation where it exists; that no Territorial government has power to legislate with the subject; that the right of master over a slave, while temporarily sojourning or intransitive through

Mr. Adrian submitted a series of resolutions declaratory of the doctrine of non-intervention as the true remedy. That all State laws in conflict with the Constitution and laws of Congress ought to be repealed. That the Fugitive Slave Law and all other laws of the land ought to be respected and obeyed, and no obstacle thrown in the way of their execution. That the Constitution is the result of conciliation and compromise, and can only be preserved by the exercise of a similar spirit. Mr. Morri

Attorneys, Generals, Executive or other State officers, who shall impede the execution of said clause of the Constitution, either in respect to delivery of felons who may be indicted for treason or murder in attempted slave insurrections, or who may be indicted for slave-stealing. Mr. Hutchins offered a resolution instructing the Committee to report what legislation is necessary to give full effect to that part of the Constitution which provides that the citizens of each State shall be entitled to all the privileges and immunities of citizens of the several States; and also, what legislation is necessary to secure to all people — whether residing or traveling through any State--the full benefit of that part of the Constitution which secures them against unreasonable searches an

I trust the Senate will act upon t-- decency is looked for. Mr. Davis hoped the Senator would be permitted to proceed. I think we attach too much importance to the expression of the galleries. I take it for granted that those warned yesterday did not repeat it. Yesterday there was one set, to-day there is a newts authority; and instructing the Committee to inquire whether any action is necessary (in view of the present condition of public affairs) against an attempt by any State to nullity the laws necessary for the existence of the Confederacy. Mr. Davis, of Indiana, presented a petition asking Congress to preclude Congress from legislation on slavery, &c. Mr. Niblack offered a resolution providing indemnity for slaves rescued by force or violence; and that the Committee report, by bill or

in custody of the United States officers. Mr. English offered a resolution that the territory of the United States should be equally divided between the slave and non-slaveholding States; slavery to be recognized in the one and prohibited in the other section; that the right of property in slaves shall not be destroyed or impaired by Congressional agitation; that whenever a slave is rescued the owner shall be allowed the double value of the slave, recoverable in a State Court. Mr. Kilgore offered a resolution of instructions to the Committee to inquire into the expediency of so amending the Fugitive Slave Law as to provide for the right of trial by jury where the alleged fugitive claims to be free.--When citizens of non-slaveholding States assist in the escape of a fugitive, or a forcible rescue, the owner of the slave to be indemnified, and the persons thus acting to be subject to a criminal prosecution; and that the Committee propose such other amendments as may be thoug

Mr. Larrabee offered a resolution recommending the several States to call a Convention for making amendments to the Constitution, to the end that the people may thus be enabled to confer together, in the manner provided in the establishment of the government, and adopt such measures as, in their wisdom, may be proper to promote the common welfare of the States. The above propositions were severally read and referred to the Union Committee. Mr. Bonham said he had received a notice to attend a
