OUR CONGRESSIONAL REPORTS.

We are encouraged to believe, from what we have
seen and from what have heard, that our antici-
patons relative to the excellence of our COMPRESSION
al reports will be fully realized. The recen exceed
ingly important debate in the Senate on the present
condition of our relations with Great Britain, and
the propriety and expediency Of Immediately ma
king such preparations for the national defence as
the signs of the times Indicate and which was looked
for with such intense and universal anxiety has
been reported in our columns with degree of full
and fidelity which has justly earned high de-
gree of appreciation. Ours has been, indeed, the
only comprehensive report Of this debate which has
been made and placed upon record.
As an illustration of what we can do in this most
essential department of newspaper enterprise and
newspaper utility we may mention that, on last
Tuesday night, had fourteen columns Of congress
SIGNAL proceedings reported and set up in type. The
report of the House of Representatives was, how
ever, unavoidably excluded, but is given in this
days "Union" This is but specimen of what
we mean to do and what we can do. We mean to
do full justice to all parties, and to make the
gressonal reports of the "Union" worthy of the
important and interesting proceedings and debates
which they record, and worthy Of the unexampled
patronage which our paper is receiving at the hands
Of the democracy of this great republic.

A CARD.-DEBATE ON NATIvEIsM.
CoLEMAN's HoTEL,

washington, Dec. IL, 1876.
How. LEWIS C. LEVIN: Pardon me for the liberty
| take in thus publicly addressing you; you recof-
lect when you visited New York to address the peo-
pie Of that city on the same topics you discussed
to-day in the House of Representatives, that offer
ed to meet you, and discuss those subjects. You
declined to meet me, because you had not time. |
renewed my offer afterwards in Philadelphia, which
you again declined, on some other excuse. We are
both here now, and might pro6tably spend night
face to face in discussing matters which the hour
rule will not permit you to dwell upon at length in
Congress. You have made charges against myself,
and other naturazed citizens, which cannot be sus-
tanned in any other way than by flights OF the mag
nation Your appeal to the South to rally against us
was peculiarly unjust, and unfounded.
You can PROFOUND your affirmative propositions,
and will take the negative; or will PROFOUND AFR
native propositions, and you take the negative.
You can also choose your own time for the debate.
We can mutually agree upon the officers of the
meeting; and if a crowd is anticipated too large
for Carusi's other hall to be chosen, there
can be an admsson-fee charged, the proceeds to be
distributed for fuel, &c, among the poor of Wash
ington, given for some other benevolent purpose.
I make the proposition in good faith and in kind
ness and know that the discussion be carried on
with mutual courtesy. We can have a large, an in
elligent, and an impartial audience. You can speak
your feelings as native, alternating with me in
speeches Of specified time. ! can speak mine as
naturalized american citizen II fail to defend my
cause successfully it will be another native triumph
on small scale to be sure, but one which, think,
you ought not TO despise, the political triumph
hereafter to be obtained among the American PEG
pie by your party will not be numerous.
Repeatedly, yours, w. E. ROBINSON.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVE,

To the Editor 9th Union:

Sin: regret to say, that during short alb
sence from the House on yesterday, when the
resolutions admitting Texas into the Union were
under consideration, the question on their final pas
sage was, to me, suddenly and Unexpectedly taken,
without afording me an opportunity to record my
vote. Had l been present, l should have voted in
the affirmative that question, as had Just pre-
viously done on the passage of those resolutions to
be engrossed.
You will oblige me by giving this communication
an insertion in your paper.
Respectfully yours,

THE UNION.
WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER II, Is45.
CONGRESSIONAL.

In the Senate, the business of ballotng for and
electing the standing committees was finished, and
we give in our report the list as thus completed.
The selections have been judicious, and will meet
with general appreciation.
After brief discussion relative to the question of
the public printing, the Senate proceeded to the
election ofprinter. The proprieors of the "Union"
were elected. They are fully sensible of the re.
Sponsbity and honor thus conferred upon them,
and will, with all fidelity, endeavor to discharge
their duty in the execution of the public printing.
In the House, an interesting debate originated on
the renewal ola motion by Mr.. Levin for the refer
ence of certain resolutions, introduced by Mr.. Win
throp from the legislature of Massachusetts,, asking
for revision of the naturalization laws, to Sc
ect committee, instead of to the Judiciary Commit
tee.
Messrs. Levin, Winthrop, Owen, and others,
contended for the reference to a select committee,
on the ground that the subject ITSELF the score Of
its intrinsic character, as well as in consideration
of the source from which the resolutions had
ated, should be SO referred.
On the opposite side, Messrs. MacIay, Brodhead,
Chapman, and many others, spoke at greater and
less length.
Finally, and near the usual hour of adjournment,
Mr. Levin moved that the subject of the necessity of
any alteration in the naturalization laws and, if So
what alterations, should be referred to select COM
mittee. After speaking on the general subject thus
presented for half an hour, Mr.. l.. moved an adj
journmenij and the House accordingly adjourned
till tomorrow, at the usual hour.
This debate was listened to by very crowded
audience, that thronged the galleries. A large
number of auditors will doubtless be attracted to the
