The Senate, after an executive session, adjourned
to Monday, Mr.. Weller having got the floor and Mr..
Houston announcing his intention to follow the Sen.
ator from California.
In the House, the same day, e.. effort was made

Mr. Jones appealed, and referred to a precedent to
sustain the appeal.

will burn as franainccnse and be transmitted to the
bosoms of the sons and daughters of prosperous
and grateful people.
The doctrine contained in the Nebraska Bill is the
true Republican doctrine covering as it does
with its amendments, the ground so injudcious-

Bill provides that Slavery may may not exist in

great confederacy alike entitled to the enjoy
