Senatorial Censorship.

Senator Yulee's attack; on the freedom Of the
Press in the U. 8. Senate has succeeded. The
Reporters Of the Washington Union are excluded
from tho privileges ofthat body, because that pa
per.admitted communication censuring their
conduct on the Army Bill This act is as impo-
tent as il outrageous. It was carried by the vote
of the Wings with aid Of John C.. Calhoun, and
his tail, and is worthy specialization of his pro-
verbal fathlessness to every party with which he
In state Of war, the Press should have the right
to scourge the traitors who from weakness or fac
tousness, side with the enemy. And to seek to
curb the energy ofpatrietism by pains and pen
alties is an attempt unworthy ofthe U. S. Senate.
