The Senate was IN session, without internis
si0D for upward of eleven hours. Senator
Toucsy (~ho is 10 the last stages OF defuocsabl-
iiy-sO bis constituents say moved 10 take up
tie bill ito protect officers and other persons
"sctiDg under the authority Of the United States
This bin is notblog more nor less tDau kind OF
addepdum to the Fugitive Slave Law, or an at
tempt to patch up few Of the latent weaknesses
OF that interesting measure.
The discussion took wide range, upon every
subject connected as well as disconnected with
the bill. Slavery was battered on its head, until
its advocates WINGED and begged to De "let up
Instead If the d. isnt teDe which in former times
characterized ito v0tsres, theyare now getting TO
be as mellow atd plant rs could be desired.
Senator Benjamin su)pl sntly begged his Northern
brothers to desi.t "Oont aeitate, said he,
"but let us alone. Every tune you sgitate you
"hurI US. Every tloe Slavery is discussed in
in these halls the South loses ground. Pray
" do let us alone, and we will be good ADD stay

what they think about this matter. "Ssm' was

the past year were commented on ADD explained.
At midnight, the bill was passed; and 1t now
goes to the House TO sleep the sleep of death, for
no one suppcsts IL WILL pass that body ut tais
late hour Of the session.
by the way | learn that John Ii. White, Esq,
Of your City, late President, and now Receiver,
of the Cystal Palace, is IN Washington, endeav-
oring to effect sale of the Crystal Passce Bud
ing to the General Government. understand
there is strong desire on the part Of the Gov
eIpmeDt off Gals to have the building transferred
TO this City. Judge Mason, the Commissioner Of
Patents, il very anxious 10 have Government
purchase it. | understand il can be transferred
10 this City for about two hundred aud htV
thousand dollars, purchase money included; and
ss it contains nearly five times the amount oil
spsce that is contained in the Patent Once, II
would make n most valuable adjunct 10 that de-
partnent. All the Models, Works of Art, the
Exploring Expedition Collection, &c. &c', might
be transferred to the Palace Bat 1t Will be
reprosch upon New York and NEWCOMERS II
that beautiful structure is permitted to be re-
moved. You will never see It's like again, and II
ought TO be psrcbased by your City Government
and made one of the permanent features OF your
Metropolitan City. But more anon upon this
subject.
