mt 1t IN the District of Columbia. The
amendment was rejected. A hard hit, how
ever, was made at Gen. Cass by Mr.. Horn
ina proposed amendment, declaring that the
senate entertained in substance the views
expressed by Gen. Cass in speech in the
u. 5. Senate and promulgated elsewhere
which was received with general laugh.
Mr. Norton asked what speech? to which
Mr.. Horn replied he ought to know if he
did not. Mr.. ShoIcs retorted. it was nee
essary TO be more explicit and state tOhat
speech, as it was well known that Gener-
al Cass's opinion was one thing this wear
and another the next. Mr.. Boyd made
strong speech in favor of his resolutions,
reading from the address of the barnburners
OF the New York Legislature, and assert
ing the ground taken by him to be true JEFF
fcrsonlan democracy. On the passage the
vote stood:
Ayes Mcssrs. Boyd, Chase. Dennis,
Hobart. Horn, Kinney. Lakin, Merrill. Mes

The Assembly have doYe q glorious DAYS
work. Almost the entire day was spSr4 lr
discussing the free territory resolutions of
the Senate. Several amendments were
adopted, against the efforts of some of the
leading members of the majority, strength
ching them by cutting off the qualifying
clauses which might be construed TO weak
en- their force and effect. The debates and
proceedings have been reported at some
length, and lorbcar any attempt at sketch
inc them, as they will be published here
and can be transferred TO your columns in
better form than cam give them. The pre-
amble was struck out, and as adopted they
read as follows:
