CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS.

The Senate was not in session to-day.
In the Eouse, after the reading Of the
journal
Mr.. Cox, rising to a personal explanation,
argued that the northern Democratic party's
reading of the doctrine of squatter sovereignty,
as involved in the Nebraska bill, amounted
to the strongest abOlitionism, and urged
that the President, in q private converse
ton with ex-senator Clemens, of Alabama,
had admitted the fact in declaring his ex-
pectation that the result of the repeal of the
Missouri compromise would be to exclude sla
very from every State hereafter to be ad
mitted into the Union.
After conversational inquiries between
Mr.. c. and Messrs. Giddings and McMullin-
Mr.. Walbridge argued that the ground
taken by Senator Stuart, Of Mich, at home,
was that Congress haze the power to exclude
slavery by positive enactment from the terri
tories.
Mr.. Nichols explained that In his district,
his Nebraska.bill competitor and the Demo-
cratic party in the last canvass, insisted that
the Nebraska bill, was the most effective abo
lition measure ever enacted by this governs
ment.
Mr. Campbell, of Ohio, said that such vas
the position held all over his State by the
Democratic party.
MIR. Seward protested, that, in the absence
Of any rules, it was out of order for the Clerk
to permit the gentleman from Kentucky (Mr
Cox to hold the floor for the purpose Of yield
ing it only to abolitionists to bolster up each
other in their work Of giving their own parti-
Fan views of the position Of the Democratic
party, refusing it at the same to gentlemen
who could expose their errors and misrepre-
sensations.
Mr.. Cox disclaimipg any such purpose,
called on Mr.. Jones, of Pa, to explain the
views Of squatter sovereignty held by the
Democratic party under his (Mr. Jones') plat
form resolution.
Mr.. Jones, Of Pa, declaring that he had no
authority to answer for any but himself, went
on to explain that he held th at the people Of a
territory could only regulate the slavery rights
of others among them, when they came to make
State constitution.
Mr.. Cox then, in turn, explained his view
of the rights of the South in connection with
the Territories; saying that the Democracy of
the North held that it requires positive law
to legalize slavery in Territories, and that,
therefore, the Nebraska bill was not as claimed
here, a safeguard for Southern rights. He
disputed the correctness Of the reading Of the
act last above mentioned
Mr.. Cox was on the floor catechixing Mr..
Dunn when we went to press.

SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS.

The Union comments with ability and ear
nestness upon the tenor and result of the last
weeks debating in the House hall, holding
that it demonstrates the weakness and anti
nationality of the position of the two opposi-
ton parties therein, and the wisdom, con-
servatism, and true patriotism of that occu-
pied by the Democratic party. The editor
feels assured that everything there is working
well indeed for the future of its side in poll
c.
The InteLiigeneer deplores the delay in the
organization of the Housekeeping:
"The longer it continues the more difficult
will it be to put an end to it. There is aneth-
er source of regret-we might say of anxiety
connected with this unjustifable delay in or
ganizing Congress, which presses on our minds
with more force than it may on others; and
that is, the effect il has in withholding from
Congress and the public the Annual Message
of the President, which has been looked for
with more than ordinary interest. From the
disclosures which took place in the course
OF last month of the complicated state of our
relations with England, and the critical ma
ture Of unadjusted matters between the two
Governments, there is room to infer that the
pent-up national expose of the Executive is
OF far more than ordinary Importance; and
during the inability of Congress to receive
the communication and to take cognizance as
may be proper of our foreign affairs, the Ex-
ecutiye may, by the force circumstances, be
drifting into difficulties which the National
Legislature, if made aware of them, might
enable him to avoid. The very fact Of the
unusual and scrupulous care taken to keep the
Message secret until it is laid before Congress
strengthens the probability of its unusual i'm
portance. 1t is, therefore, most earnestly
TO be hoped that the House will now put an
end to the idle ceremony on which almost
three weeks have been spent, and see to the
state of pablo affairs. Much more delay may
be fraught with the gravest consequences"
