CONGRESSIONAL,
WASHINGTON, June Let

SENAra.-Mr. Brown submitted resoIu.
ton which was adopted, calling on the Presi-
dent to communicate a copy of the instructions
to Mr.. buchanan on free ships making free
goods, and M. Buchanan's letter to Lord
Clarendon, on the same subject.
Mr.. Clayton said it would be remembered
he had carefully abstained from uttcring
during the present session, one word calculated
to add to the excitement growing out of the
present distressing occurrences in Kansas
He had endeavored to conciliate all parties in
order that he might on some suitable occasion
present a measure Of harmony, justice and
peace. He now rose for the purpose Of max
ing the proposition in the sincerity of an hon.
est heart desiring 10 proptiate no particular
party nor section. He would not present his
bill as partizan Of any candidate for the
Presidency, but like the sailor he desired to
go in gang by himself. He was the repre-
sentative OF a little State (Delaware) which
occupies middle ground between the Northern
and Southern portions Of the confederncy-
The Northern county of that State with fifty
thousand inhabitants, has scarcely one humid
red slaves. The Southern, is as grossly pro-
slavery as Georgia. The Middle country is the
one which gave him his birth and is conserva-
tive and fairly divided in opion but the whole
of that little State is deeply anxious to pre-
Sc We the Union and prevent rupture if pos
siblc, lie had objections to Kansas coming
into the union now as a sovereign State-one
