cONGREssloNAI. PROCEEDINGS.
TUESDAY, Feb 20.

TUESDAY, Feb 20.
SENATE. The Civil and Diplomatic bill came
up, and an amendment was offered by Mr. walk
er OF Wisconsin in favor OF extending the united
States re, enue laws over the new territories; al
So the Constitution and all laws applicable there
to, and that the President make regulations Tor
carrying the same into effect Mr. Walker spoke
for some time on the importance OF the SUBJECT,
and said that his object in presenting the amend
ment was the preservation OF order and the ad-
mustration OF justice in the newly acquired ter
ritories.
When he had concluded, Mr.. Bell of Tennes-
see submitted an amendment TO that OF Mr. w ak
er for the establishment OF State Government
in California and for striking out the amendment
proposed by Mr. Walker, all that was inconsistent
with Mr.. Bells proposition
Mr. Butler of S. C was surprised that any SEN
ator should offer such an amendment, and raised
a question of order.
The chair decided that Mr. Bells amendment
was in order, and the decision of the char was
sustained
An informal discussion followed as TO the pro.
prety OF pressing the amendment. Mr. Bell
seemed to be much embarrassed at the dsappro-
baton which was manifested by Senator's but his
sense OF duty prompted him to persist, however
unpleasant it might be- He saw that this was
the only chance to get vote upon this impor-
tant question, and therefore felt bound to press
his amendment. He spoke ably and at great
length and finally, at the suggestion OF several
Senators, gave way before he finished.
House. The bill for coming gold dollars and
double eagles was passed
Mr.. Mckay, from the Committee of Ways and
Means reported bill altering the milage law
and advocated the same. He said the annual
milage sum paid to members and officers Of gov
eminent, was between $500, 900 and $500 600
There was already appropriated this session, for
members and delegates $4,000. LAID temper
arily aside.
The bill to increase the efficiency of the army
came up. Mr. Burt of South Carolina advocated
and Mr. TOombs OF Georgia opposed it. Laid on
the table.
Miscellaneous bills were then acted on. The
House refused to go into Committee, because a
portion OF the House resolved on working on the
calender until they reached the bill respected the
slave traffic in the District of Columbia reported
by Mr. Edwards oil Ohio. Indications that
the House will not go into Committee until that
is disposed of. Adjourned.

~ 1t seems to be the better opinion among
the Wings at Washington, that Gov. Crittenden
will take the place OF Secretary OF State. The
original Taylor men advise this course for their
own security, and the Governor himself thinks
that his prospects for the Presidency will be very
considerably imperilled by remaining at the head
OF his own Commonwealth. For the ne KIT four
years, Kentucky will be warm place for any
man who has national expectations. The ques-
ton OF emancipation is coming up there, and all
public men Of the State will be required to take
sides. Mr. Crittenden will be removed from the
heat Of the FIRE at Washington, and will be beside
in the line of safe precedent. There seems to be
no nucleus of opinion at Washington about the
policy Of the President elect. No one can point
out single short cut to his favor. They are in
doubt whether it would please him to press or
repress the territorial bills, whether he wants the
proviso out of the way or in the way, whether
he desires to have Senator Clay abused or con-
ciliated nor, and this aggravates the Wings worst
whether he expects to remove or retain the pres.
ent holders of office. All are anxious to worship
the rising sun, but they don't know the cardinal
points, and are worried to death lest they shall
have their back towards him when he appear
above the horizon. Hence their extreme inds.
position to take rank hold OF any large question:
and the tremendous havoc they are making every
now and then among the private claims and 9th.

JoURNEYMEN PRINTERS AND AUTHORS
N. P. Willis, in late number of the Home Jour-
nal, makes the following sensible and true re-
marks i'll relation to Journeyman Printers. The
authors OF many a newspaper communication and
advertisement, are indebted to the compostor for
that s'Snish" which makes them readable. Very
few there are, that know how TO ''point" what
they write SO as clearly to express their mean
ing:
If there were an apprenticeship to the trade Of
authorship, it would be essential that young
author should pass year compositor in a
printing office, as that future captain
should make voyage before the mast 1t is
not alone that he would thus learn the impor-
lance OF properly preparing 'scopy' for the prin-
tiers, by legible penmanship and knowledge of
the signs, marks and aborevatons by which
proof is corrected. These are matters, an ac-
quaintance with which, on the part of the au-
thor, would save much time and vexation, and
prevent serious blunders. The chief advantages
would be to the author himself. There is no
such efectual analysis of style as the process of
type setting. AS he takes up letter by letter, OF
long or complex sentence, the compositor be-
comes most critically aware OF where the sem
tence might have been shortened to save labor.
He detects repetitlons, becomes impatient of re-
dundancies, recognizes careless or inappropriate
use of explosives, aud acquires habit Of
putlng an admlrlng value on clearness and brew
ity. We venture to say that it would alter the
whole character OF American literature, if the
authors (of our very fluent naonD were COM
PEELED, before legally receiving copyright, to
have given one year to labor at the compositor's
case. We have said nothing of the art of nice
punctuation, which is also acquired in a printing
office, and by which style is made as much
more tasteful as champagne by effervescing.
Journeymen Printers, are, necessarily we'll in
structed aud intelligent men. 1t is part of a
proof.readers's duty to make "Query" against
every passage in new book which he does not
clearly comprehend. Authors who know what
is valuable, profit by these quiet estimates of
their meaning; and many a weak point that
would have ruined literary reputation if left I'M
corrected for the reviewers TO handle, has been
noiselessly put right by proof-readers unobtru-
sive "qu?" OF most books, indeed, we would
rather have the criticism OF the workmen in the
Office where it was printed, than Of the review
ers who skim and pronounce upon it.

DISSOLUTION Of THE DEMOCRATIC
PARTY

MIR. John Van Buren,, 10 a recent speech, de.
clared iha, The Democratic party was dissolved;
and The Wing presses caught up and re echoed
the cry, I'LL some OF them seemed almost ready to
believe there was some truth in the assertion
Inc recent election news, however, seems 10 have
walked up some OF the administration presses;
and they nov begin TO discover, that so far from
being dissolved, the Wings have found the De.
mocrais SO numerous aud SO closely united 10
Tennessee, that there are doub!s whether Wing.
gerry will be able 10 carry State now, which
IN November last, it carried by majority OF up
wares Of 5000. Signs like these will scarcely
afford the Wings much ground Tor reeraling
the exulting cry Of "Dissolu,ion of the Demo
cratic Party" We tell these mad caps that the
Democratic party canno, be dissolved by The re-
ffaclory cratic, or lrai,orous acs OF any OF its
members. Martin Van Buren,, his son John,
and The Missouri "Ffee Soiler," with all their
followers and worshippers, may forsake the
parry which has made them what they are, may
abandon its principles, and sink into Oblivion,
beneath the contempt Of an indignant and hon.
est people; but the true principles of Democ.
racy, 10 all their pristine beauty, will survive,
and these will ever serve 10 keep the parry
united. The Democratic parry dissolved =
