Summary OF this Mornings News.
By reference to the report, in this days HERALD,
Of the proceedings of Kossuth in America it will be
seen that he made . very important reply to the
Philadelphia deputation on Saturday, which that
seputatien attempted to report, but either through
blunder or design, omitted the important point re-
lating TO the Senate, which will be found supplied
rrbatin, as the last paragraph but one, and en-
closed in brackets. In this passage kossuth
places the Senate in a very awkward fix; and to
have omitted it from his reply was like emitting
she part Of the Prince of Denmark from the play Of
Hamlet. We admire both the spunk and the logic
Of the Hungarian Governor. What will the cor
nered' Senate do now
The great feature of tn, proceedings in the
United States Senate, yesterday, WAS the debate
between Messrs. Foote and Butler, upon the reso-
luton offered by the former gentleman that the
compromise be declared q snal adjustment of all
difficulties between the Northern and Southern
portion Of the Union. Mr.. Foote made lengthy
speech the subject, as will be seen by report.
In speaking of the opposition to the compromise,
he did no. at all spare those Congressman who
continue TO agitate the subject, the ultra cliques,
or the abolition and secession editors, in each
section Of the country, and said that, notwith-
standing the pernicious course Of these narrow
minded men, the people at large were every day
becoming more and more satisfied with the
measures Congress had adopted at a time
when the horizon of our country was overcast
with dark and forbidding clouds. He stated that
this was not brought forward as party measure,
or for the attainment Of party ends but it was for
the purpose of ascertaining whether the people Of
Tie various States, through their representatives.
srs determined to stand by and maintain the set
tement adopted by the previous Congress, in all its
parts. IF they do, the law will be faithfully and
vigorously executed throughout the country, and
we shall hereafter hear of but few if any more
riots and blsodshed by the abolition resistsnts.
MIR Butler, one OF the Southern rights Senators of
South Carolina, opposed the resolution of Mr..
Foo;e, upon the ground that it vas opening afresh
the agitation Of the Fugitive Slave Law, after it
had become statute Of the land. He denounced
the compromise measures in every shape aud for n,
and aveTred that the South had been greatly the
loser by their adoption. Mr. Foete, in his reply,
contended that the South united upon
this question, even in South Carolina, where,
under the title Of operation they have virtually
decided that secession is not the proper remedy for
their alleged grievances The Mississippi Senator
called upon the people Of the slaveholding states
to remain unite 4 ss they aow are-otherwise they
are doomed. The debate was carried on alto
gsther between the two gentlemen named, AMI will
be read with great interest.
Among the petitions presented in the Senate yes
terday, we observe there several from various
Northern and Southern states, praying for the
aboshment Of the Offices of ohaPains for Coagress,
and the army and navy. The usual standing com
nittees were selected, for which the reader is
ferred to the proceedings Of the day The bill for
branch mint in California referred 10 the Finance
Committee. Notice vas given by Mr.. Hale ofareso
laton requesting the Presiden. to open correspond
ence with the President Of France, for the purpose
of procuring the liberation Of Add e-Kader. This
is probably intended by the noted New Hampshire
abolitionst ~ an Offset TO the Kossuth resolution
and the movement 10 effect the Liberation Of the
exiled Irish patriots, TO both OF which measures he
appea.s to be greatly opposed Mr. seward called up
his joint resolution welcoming Kossuth to the coun-
y and to the national capital, but request tha.
1t be read a second time refused, and il conse-
qusnty went over, to await its regular .srn Cen
ersl Shields thereupOn gave notice Of his intention
To offer an amendment, which was, that q committee
Of three be appointed 10 introduce Governor Kossuih
10 the Senate. General :. remarked that, in the
case Of La Fsyttte, each branch Of Congress re-
ceived him separately and lie nov proposed to
adopt q similar course, in which there could be
impropriety, with regard to the Hungarian patriot.
He remarked that the Magyar was the guest Of the
nation, md as such, be should at least be treated
with courtesy.
We are enabled, through the telegraph, to give
few retsrns Of the election which took place yes.
