WAsHINGroN, Feb. II. lo47'


In Seaate.-rhe telgraphic despatch
yesterday reported that the resolutions OF
fered by Mr.. Yulee. for expelling the edI-
itor aud reporter Of the Union, were tnen
under consideration before .he SENATE, anu
that 80 much as referred to the reporter
was Withdrawn. A debate followed IN
which Mr.. Yulee, Butler, Allen, Turney'
.Calhoun, and others parlicipa!ed.-Ihe
speeches of Messrs Tarney aud Caihoun
being personally Interesting, we give 'hem
at much length. go.
MIR. Turney said we were indeed living
in strange times. Senators on his side oil
the charnber were told that they, having
the majority, were responsible for what
was done. This was entirely an error
There was party in the Senate which
NIGH, be termed the balance Of power
party, for they could shape every thing
as they pleased. The country he thought
ought distinctly to know the condition OF
parties. in order that the responsibility
might rest where it properly belonged. lie
did not approve Of the term "MeXican
victory" that was used by the correspon'
dent of the Union, though in point oil Tact
',he mater alluded TO by that correspon
dent was such as empha,icaliy enured to
the beuefl of the Mexican cause. lie
stated wha, was substantially true. Where
then was the SANDER? lie did not think
that the editor should be held responsible
for the declarations Of his correspondent,
especially as the very paper containing
them gave .he facts which justified him in
calling it a Mexican victory. He was
Inclined TO the opinion tha. the publication
OF that article had contributed to The final
passage oflhe army bill. 'lflhe course of
proceeding proposed by these resolutions
-s,oald be followed, it would be all act
,(and The puolic ought to understand iI)
done by the Senate for which The Demo.
cratic was no, responsible. If he were
allowed to make prediction, he would
say that the three IN lion bill would be
lost. He saw indications enough 10 con.
vince him that such would he the fact,
and be supposed the Democratic parry
were to be held responsible for this also.
The responsibility for al! these things ought
to be placed where it properly belonged.
Mr.. Yulee inquired Of The Senator from
Tennessee what he meant when he spoke
Of a baance-of. power party.
Mr.. Turney replied that he simply
meant to say that there was certain n1;n
ber of Senators in that body who consti-
tuted balance Of power party; who could
by uniting themselves either with Scna-
ators on the other side or on this side,
carry or reject any measure they pleased;
and who, in the majority Of instances, h.
believed, during The present session, had
chosen 70 vote with Senators ON the other
side.
Mr.. Yulee desired TO be informed by the
Senator it he meant 10 assert thai there
was an organized party, segregated and
acting separately for the purpose Of COM.
