The Kalida venture. [volume] (Kalida, Ohio) 1841-1865, 1846-05-07

We extract the following from the remark:
Of the Union on the passage of the resolu
tion, which it justly terms the capital measure
of the session:
"The results of the protracted move
ments of Congress are seen in the proceed
ings of the two houses of to-day, which are
published in our preceding columns. The
reader will see the resolution as it passed
He will see that the resolutions of the Senate
werc changed, SO as to convert the first re-
solution into preamble with " Whereas
thus making it like the preface of a book,
instead of the gist of the book itself. 1t will
also appear that the expression of" renewed
efforts" in the preamble was changed into
"all proper measures for speedy and ami
cable adjustment" &c. The former ex-
preston has been construed by some TO
mean that the President was to make, on his
part, another effort, another offer to Great
Britain, and even an offer of the same pro-
position which has been rejected before. So
obnoxious was this expression to the COM
mittee from the House, that they would have
broken up the conference sooner than yield
to it. The Committee from the Senate
adopted, with good grace and liberal feel
ing, the substitution of the phrase ali prop
er measures &C.; and in this form it was
unanimously propt sed by the committees of
conference, and adopted by both houses
No other amendments we're made by the
committees; "wiih the discretion" of the
President was retained and although it was,
in one view of the case, desirable to ex-
punge il, yet, in another view, it expresses
the confidence of Congress in his discretion
Take the whole resolution as it stands, and
it carries out the notice, substantially, ac-
cording to the Presidents recommendation
in his message.
"The vote of the two Houses was decisive.
The majority is consderablc-42 to 10 in
the ,Senate-more than four-ffhs of that
body-and IN the House Of Representatives
the vote was l42 to 4G-morc than three
fourths of the House-a vote which, added
to those in the minority who went for ihc
principle of the notice, but disapproved of
the form of ii, would approximate nearly toI
UNANnI1rY. We desired TO see that object
attained. And now the resolution goes
forth to England with all the moral force
which this immense majority can impart TO
it. The Executive goes 10 England with
nearly a unanimous nation 10 back him!
"Many of those who voted against the
resolution from the committee of conference,
are as sincerely in favor of the Presidents
recommendations in his message, and of the
notice, as those who voted for him. Their
votes are, therefore not TO be cited as in oP-
position to the notice for abrogating the con-
venton. But large portion of them-of
the 10 in the Senate, and Of the 46 in the
House of Representatves-will be found
as much the friends of notice as those who
answered dy. Count these, therefore, and
we approach nearer to that perfect unanimiiy
with which such measure should be sup
ported On looking over the lists of yeas
and nays on the final passage of the notice
in the House to-day, we find that the Dem
ocratic representatives who voted against the
proposition as reported from the committee
OF conference, are we'll known supporters OF
the measure as it originally passed the House,
and friends of the administration and its
measures. Of course, then, their names
are now among the nays only because they
were not favorable to the precise shape which
the resolutions finally assumed"
