t non-slave States vote against it, and yet its ratification made it a part of the Constitution, we would say at once here were amendments to the Constitution which were distasteful to eight non-slaveholding States, and which they would probably disregard, as they disregard the present Constitution. Suppose that amendments were proposed, and fifteen slave States ratify them; suppose, also, that the non-slaveholding States ratify them, but that New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, and other border States, refuse ratification, why, what practical use would they be to use? None. What is the use of discussing what we would be satisfied with, when nothing has been offered us?--What is the use, when we do not believe we will be permitted to retain the Senators we now have? The Republicans deny that under the Constitution slaves are recognized as property. If we could believe they would go to their constituents and urge the ratification of proper amendments, we belie

port to this House such details thereof as may be necessary to accommodate the same to the existing Constitution of the United States. Also, resolved, That said Committee also be requested to take into consideration the means necessary, if any can be devised, to restore the equilibrium between the free and the slave States in the Senate; and particularity whether this end can be accomplished by a voluntary division on the part of some of the slave States into two or more States. Mr. Hindman proposed amendments to the Constitution expressly recognizing property in slaves where slavery now or may hereafter exist, and the express denial to the Federal Government to prohibit or interfere with it anywhere, or restrict trade in slaves between the States; also an express agreement to protect slavery wherever the Federal jurisdiction extends, and the protection of slaves while passing through free States; shy State defeating or impairing the Fugitive Slave law not to be entitled to

State or the people thereof have failed to obey and enforce the obligations imposed by the Constitution; and if so, the reason thereof, and whether any legislation is required to secure such enforcement. Resolved, That to avoid all further controversies in regard to the several Territories of the United States, said Committee divide said Territories into States of convenient size, with a view to their prompt admission into the Union on an equal footing with the original States. Mr. Bingham offered a resolution that the Select Committee of Thirty-three report to this House such additional legislation as they may deem necessary to suppress and put down armed rebellion against the laws and authority of the United States, to protect the property thereof against unlawful seizure, and the citizens thereof against unlawful violence.

And that such inquiry be made with a special view to punish all Judges. 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

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

The immediate cause of secession is the election of a Black Republican President. The people of the North must know that the present state of affairs has been brought about by means of the Helper book, and the teachings of the Senator from New York, the preaching of the followers, or rather the pretended followers of Christ, and the teaching in your schools of your children to hate our institutions. The Senator from New York told his Wide-Awake prætorians that their services could not be dispensed with after the election. They would be needed to secure the fruits of the victory. A half million men in uniform are being drilled for the purpose of organization to sweep the country in which I live with fire and sword.

A half million men in uniform are being drilled for the purpose of organization to sweep the country in which I live with fire and sword.

I do remember to have read a letter, which I received from some unknown person in the Southern States, professing to impute such a meaning to something I said in some speech of mine.--But I cannot tell what I may have said that could have been perverted so as to imply that I ever said or intimated that the Wide A wakes were being kept organized, or disciplined, or uniformed, or associated at all, to secure the fruits of their victory. I think I can say safely that I never sai

If you then persist in aggression, these sovereign States will settle the question, and when you laugh at these impotent efforts, little as you regard them, I tell you emphatically that Cotton is King. [Laughter, and some applause in the galleries.] The President said the Sergeant-at-Arms will clear the galleries if it occurs again. Mr. Hale said--Mr. President, that threat was made one, two or three times yesterday --now is the time to carry it out. Mr. Wigfall said — If the exhibition of feeling in the galleries occur again they should be cleared, and once being cleared we will proceed. 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 warn

tion. That the Constitution is the result of conciliation and compromise, and can only be preserved by the exercise of a similar spirit. Mr. Morris, of Pennsylvania, offered a resolution instructing, the Union Committee to inquire and report as to whether the State Personal Liberty bills are in conflict with the Constitution, and further, to inquire whether the Fugitive Slave Law is susceptible of amendment so as to ascertain more certainly the actual condition of the fugitive. Mr. Stewart, of Maryland, offered a preamble setting forth the principles on which the government is founded. That when it threatens to become destructive to the great objects which it was intended to accomplish, every State should be placed in a condition to provide for its own security; that there is good reason to believe that certain States are about to withdraw from the Union, &c, and concluding with a resolution instructing the Select Committee to inquire, among other things, whether any measu
