CONGRESS.

A despatch from Washington, dated Sunday states
that ''the two Houses were in session all last night
the Senate going into open session at ii O'Clock.
A large number of Senators started for their homes
this morning. Senator Clay among them, from which
it is inferred that the leading business of the session
is over. The last three hours in the House were
spent in contest the proposed extra allowance
to Mr. Richie, on his printing contract The pro-
position was thoroughly defeated.
The following abstract of the proceedings of the
two houses is taken from the telegraphc dispatches
Both the senate and house of representatives were
engaged till O'Clock on Sunday morning without
concluding
The senate abolished fogging in the navy, and
insisted on their amendments to the Indian appro-
prlation and bounty land bills. A committee of con-
ference was appointed on the army BILL
The President and all the members of the cabinet
have been in the senate antechamber since O'Clock
last evening
The house passed the senate bill establishing adj
ditlonal collection districts in California.
On motion of Mr. johnson, of Arkansas, all bills,
resolutions and other matters were referred to the
standing committees, and those on which no reports
have been made to be returned to the clerk and
stand recommitted at the commencement of the next
session. The light house bill was passed.
All the appointment to the civil and diplomatic bill
were agreed to by both houses, except three, and
further conference was asked and granted
The committee of conference reported that the
senate had receded from their amendments adding
marines, captains and sailors who fought in former
wars to the grants made in the bounty land bill to
all soldiers who have fought and not been heretofore
provided for by law So the bill passed.
The speaker signed several bills, among which
were the navy appropriation, bounty land and fort-
fication bills.

1t will be little curious to observe how the Wing
State Conventions which off in this city to-day,
will manage to shape the varying creed of the party for
the current year, upon the slavery question. Only one
year snce the State Address of that party chung tena
ciousy the Wilmot Progso (now so rudely secuted
out of their creed by the National Wing party) and
went then strenuously for
"-the PROHIBITION of slavery in territories NOW
FREE, and its ABOLITION hae can be constitution
ally Effected"
These are their own words. One of their Resolves
was:
"Resolred, That we go for the ABOLITION and
EXCLUSION of SLAVERY, ptereuer Congress has
juTisdiction.''
The Legislature of the State, in May last also reaf
frmed its former declarations on these points, SO
universally protested % be maintained by Wings. and
emphatcaiy affirmed, among other things, the uncon-
querabe disposition of the people of Massachusetts
"to SEEK THE ABOLITION OF SLAVERY
and the slave trade in the District of Columbia and
me withdrawal OF the power and influence of the Gen.
era Government from the support of slavery so far
the same may be constitutionaly done,'' &c.
These are such views as WINGS in former dov,
held with great tenacity. Within year however, the
Wmot Proviso, the sprohibition of slavery in ter
rores now Free, has been stricken from its creed b,

Wing recreany, with vengeance-taking issue witt

And more. In the House, on similar proposition
by Preston King of N. Y, SAMUEL A. ELIOT AM

All these things would recommend to the spec;a
attention of the Wing leaders in council TODAY and Sc

Slavery has existed this Continent, have the friends

ment.
