In the SENATE, Messrs. Douglass, Stur.

replied to them.
Mr. Davis, of Massachusetts, advocated
the reception of petitions for The abolition of

liions for the dissolution Of the Union, aud
it il TO be hoped that there will be some
method adopted TO throw the " dissolution
petitions " out Of the National Legislature.

sion to relract his threat made AT the last

Mr.. Seward, from New York, moved to
roler tho question Of the reception Of peli-
lions for dissolution oil the Union 10 the
Committee on the Judiciary, with instruc-
lions to report. He thought the Senate
had neither the disposition nor even the
power to receive such petilions.-On mo-
lion, the mai'er was laid over for special or.
ders.
MIR. Houston then obtained the floor, ans
spoke for two and half hours on the sla-

The Revenue Difficulty,

The Locofocos are complaining Of Mr..
Merediih's circular, throwing some of the
burdens OF the revenue service on import
ing merchants, which have hitherto been
borne by the Government An attempt
is also made TO render him unpopular on
account OF The numerous dismissals OF
Clerks from the Custom Houses in all our
principal pors. The reason of this circu-
cular, and Of tho sc dismissals, seems TO he
studiously concealed by the Opposition.
No one well informed on the subject can
fail to see, however, that this very state Of
things has been brought about by the Lo-
colocos--and continued by them, in spite
OF all the exortions Of the friends oil the Ad-
mnislralion-eilher through mistaken no.
tons Of economy, or, for the purpose of en-
barrassing the Secretary Of the TIs,sury in
the discharge Of his duties.
Just as the last Administration was about
10 retire, provision was crowded through
Congress, Tor diminishing the expenses OF
collecting the revenue, by which the APP
preparations for that purpose we're reduced
from So 100000 Che sum expended by Mr.
Walker) TO $I,560,o 900 and that. too
in face Of the fact that The new California
district (where rents, and every other ex'
pense, are enormously high had just been
added to the former Revenue service, and
must be provided for out OF this diminished
general allowance. This reduction, the
Union says, was proposed by Mr.. Wal
ker. 1t necessarily follows, then, that MIR
Walker was either conscious Of having ex
travasandy squanderod $640,000 during
each year Of his management or that hi
I intended TO embarrass the incoming AID
, mnisiralion. One conclusion or the olhe
is unavoidable.
, Now, il is found in practice that the rev
enue cdnnoi-including the California dis
tricl-be collected for the sum allowed by
? the existing law. This state Of The cas-
. has been fully and clearly presented 10 Con
gress-lhe Senate has voted 10 suspen'
this law, until II more just one can be en-
4 acied-bul the House resolulely refuses L
= do anything for the relief of The Depalt
: ment 1t only remains, therefore, for MI
: Meredith TO do as he has done. The pee
pie will attach tho blame where il belongs
and not 10 him.
