The meeting of the Southern members OF
Congress, held last evening in the Senate cham
ber was attended by some eighty or ninety
members. The meeting refused to admit The
press, bv a vote Of about 81 to 81. The ad.
dress prepared by Mr.. Calhoun, was read, and
was substantially as has been heretofore stated.
The debate, on various motions. was contIn'
ued until after II o'clock, in which Nlessrs'
Clayton. Bcrrien, Toombs, Jefferson Davis,
McLane, Stephens, Rusk, Thompson, OF Miss,
Houston and others participated
1t will be most unfortunate for the South that
this meeting was ever held, if funanimty should
not be finally effected. That of last night was
no, as harmonious as was expected. In truth,
there was some from northern slave Sta'es,
whose feelings might with propreiy have Kept
them from the meeting. They feel not the
same identity of interest as those from the more
southern States.
On the Introduction Of the report, motion
was made by MIR. Clayton to lay it on the Ia
bic and take no further action. IL was made TO
,es, the feeling of the meeting g--the vote tor 1t
about 55, against i: about 80. Those IN favor
of laying on the table were nearly all wings.
Tie powerful objection to the report was
made by Mr.. Toombs, of Georgia. II" thought
congressional legislation was necessary to an'
,borize slavery in the new territories. The
doctrine of the report was that Congress could
neither extend nor restrict slavery.
Mr.. Toombs proposed an amendment, and il
was evident that he was opposed to any action
by the meeting. He made no rep to ques
ton propoundsd by Mr.. Thompson, in reference
TO the action he would take if Congress refused
