member, we predicted what the General would

our prediction.
The Washington Union, in lis remarks upon
the vote, closes as follows: .-
"The House adjourned after this agitating
spectacle, in good huu.or and in gUod order. We
congratulate country upon the result. The
character of the resolution is decided, as well as
conclIiaIoFy. The very strength of The heavy ma
oriIy with which it carried (three 10 one) will
add 10 the moral force which it is destined 10 ex-
ert upon the two countries. 1t goes forth full Of
energy and full Of hope. We cannot doubt that
Il resolution of notice will pass the Senate with
pro1nptiIude and decision, and thus add new con-
firmation TO the measures Of the Presidents mes
sage, and new guarantee TO the preservation OF
the rights and the peace OF our country"
