The proposition to add to the Senate's sub
scription to the Globe was agreed to after pro-
tracted debate, while that which proposed to en-
pIoy the Intelligencer, Union and Sentinel to
copy the reports Of the Globe, paying these three
papers of the rate of $4 so per column therefor,
was rejected; this rejection, however, was by o
close vote. and notice of motion to reconsider
was given by Mr.. Weller. The Union and In
tellgencer do not want this boon, but the Sem
tinel is in feeble condition, and without some

reports are well and promptly made, and it is
but just that he should be fairly remunerated
1t is amusing, however, to see Senators engaged
in a calculation as to how much profit printer
makes-perhaps a like number of men so poorly
qualified for this task could not be found in the
country. Mr.. Rives is already wealthy, and, if
he continues to report for Congress, will not
grow poor. Mr.. Stuart, Of Michigan. read some
extracts from the Sentinel which bore hard
upon the Administration, and did not feel will
ling to encourage paper which was thus
damaging the democracy. Mr.. Weller justified
the charges of the Sentinel, and said that the
present democratic party wanted purgation,
that physic might make it thinner for while,
but it would be all the healthier in the end.
Mr.. Badger, of North Carolina, wanted the sub.

Sentinel. etc., because it was really painful to
him and the other wings present to witness
these discussions in the democratic party.

WAsHNarss, May 49, 1854.
This IS Friday, day generally given to pri-
vate bills, and it was so devoted by the Senate,
but believe without touching any thing of par
ticular interest to your readers. In the House,
'f course, we are still nauseated with Nebraska
A portion of the Wings have held caucus
'o-day and will still resist the final passage of
he bill, but their efforts will be irregular and
'pasmodic, if confined simply to parliamentary
rules, and can have no other effect than to
weary themselves and their opponents; beyond
resistance it is not in the least
probable that sufficient number can be got to
unite to defeat legislation; although with or
ganEation and adroit leaders the bill might still
be defeated.
Mr.. Dean, Of N. Y, one of the 6 Soft 80 democ-
'acy, defined his position to-day, and came out
more emphatically against the bill than almost
my Democrat who has spoken. This open op-
position on his part was nuts for the " Hards,''
or Mr. Dean is an especial favorite and constant
risitor at the White House.
Mike Walsh also spoke, and as much as
heard of him was a compound of vulgarity and
,gotism, with fulsome laudation of Dickinson
and rather liberal abuse of the Administration.
It did not speak well for the taste of several
senators that they honored this rapscallion by
listening to his rigmarole. It must be admitted
or Mike, however, whose boast it is that he re-
presents the lower-strata Democracy of New
York City, that he has been more consistent in
lis public career than his wealthy colleague the
hrewd lawyer Cutting. In thorough subser-
1iency to the South, Mike was so emphatic as to
prefer the condition of the black slave to that

proving the truth of the adage that it is ga
oul bird which dirties its own nest"
Mr. Morrison, of N. H., opposed the bill. He
anne here, he said, friend and supporter of
he Administration, and was still such, and
eady to go as far as an honest Ad,ninistra-
ion could ask an honest man to go.' This was
decidedly cruel thing to be said by a New
hampshire Democrat; but, perhaps, all this is
understood. Whether Mr.. Morrison is to be the
