mad been felt rs to whether the recommends
,,ou Of the select committee had been carried
op, he offered resolution that Mr. ii. ii. no
n,nson, J. L. Dow, and the reporters OF the
Times be excluded from the reporters gallery
Mr. Dickinson said he had on Monday been
nrhned to place the most charitable construc-
,oD on the acts of these persons, as he thought
rnev would fairly and frankly retract the charg-
es which had been shewn TO be baseless. In
stead of doing so they had substantially repeat
ed them. In this position he would give the
construction TO their acts which they themselves
give instead of the one he desired to give
Mir. Mangum thought the resolution was en-
al, unnecessary The committee had re-
commanded certain acton-and the Senate by
M, unanimous vote concurred IN the recommen-
dation. The duty therefore devolved upon the
presiding officer to carry out these recommen-
dations, and he hoped his friend from tennessee
would withdraw his resolution. -,
Mr.. Jarnagin said he would certainly WITH
draw il, if the presiding officer SO understood
the matter.
The Vice President said that he had SO I'M
derstood it. and directed its execution.
Mr.. Jarnagin accordingly withdrew the re-
solution, and
MIR. Mangum said he should hold the Scar
,raent-at-Arns to n strict official accountability
to- the performance of his duty in this respect.
Mr.. Mangum, said he had matter OF public
necessity and interest on which he wished to
submit motion to the Senate and which was,
ina, when the Senate adjourned it should adj
,ourn until Monday at IL O'Clock. (Laughter,)
The motion was carried.
MIR. Allen gave notice that on Monday, i'm
rlediately after the expiration of the morning
hour. he should move TO 90 into Executive SEES
ION, as there was special subject to come be-
fore them for consideration which required I'M
mediate attention.
Mr. Ashley said that there was a necessity
10 90 into Executive session to-day, to correct
T. mistake made yesterday.
The Senate then proceeded to the consdeIa-
ton of the special order
Mr.. Niles said he would make his remarks
pref He would not examine the htie-that
mad been well and ably done. Nor would he
introduce into this debate-what he was sorry
aad been done-the Baltimore resolutions
They were without authority party recon-
rnendation; and if war should result from
the measures adopted to sustain our rights, 1t
might be said that 1t was produced by party
resolution and was a party war. lie would
take q practical view of the question. The
President recommended theadoption OF certain
measures, as helping to adjust and settle the
controversy. All wished it settled and only
differed as to the means. The question then
was, is il wise to give authority to the Presl-
dent to give this notice? He thought we might
do 50 without leading to any collision between
the two countries. He thought the notice was
pacific measure. Some had declared they
spoke for the President in announcing opposite
conclusions, but this was a mistake, lie haa
good authority for saying it was not so-that
5he President had spoken for himself and Off

tice because the President asked for it--because
IN his Judgment it would be conducive to nego-
tiation-also because the convention had not
worked well for our interests.
He would prefer il from common report to the
President because he had asked Tor it-because
j, would not be adjusted without it were pass
ed-because it would strengthen our title lie
thought the mere simple notice the most digni-
fled. but as the measure had been represented
as hostile one, he saw no improperly IN say
INC we do not intend to withdraw the matter
from the proper authorities to settle by negotla-
ton, and therefore he would support the House
resolutions and as at present advised he would
vote against all amendments to those resolu-
tons He thought Mr.. Colquitt's resolutions
went too far and were supplicating in their
character. He said who ever took the respon-
sibility of plunging the country into war on
con, would find peace party already organic
ed and powerful enough almost to parahze the
power Of the Government. He thought we
should take our position on 40, and abide the
consequences, and he believed Great Britain
would not hazard war so long as we occupied
that position.
MIR. Chalmers, of Miss, next took the floor,
and the Senate went into Executive Session.
