SENATE.

Mr.. Douglas moved to proceed to the consid-
Grafton of the bill to authorize the people Of the
Territory of Kansas to form Constitution snd
State Government, preparatory to their Fdniis-
sion into the Union when they may ha' e }he
requisite population; which motion was sgreed
to.
Mr.. Douglas addressed the Senate at great
length, detailing the provisions of the bill, and
replied to the remarks of his colleague Mr..
Tfumbull on former occasion.
Mr.. Collamer then obtained the floor, but
gave way to allow Mr.. Seward to offer an amend
ment, in the shape of a substitute for the origi-
nal bill, which he wished to have printed, and
moved to postpone the further consideration of
the subject until Thursday next.
Mr.. Trumbull, having expressed wish to be
heard in answer to Mr.. Douglas, was permitted
to d. so, and replied seriatim to the remarks of
that Senator.
| Tie motion of Mr.. Seward was then agreed
to, AID the subject was postponed to Thursday
next, and made the special order for that day
| at ORB o'clock.
The Lntelligencer furnishes the following .sy-

self, and requested him to communicate to the
officers and crews of the vessels under his COM

OF the British Government and nation for their
generous exertions, and also to Mr.. Grinnell,
who literally advanced the necessary funds for
the undertaking and ] am further instructed
to express to the Government of the United

der MaJesty's Government feel DESTROYS to
present some acknowledgment to Mr.. Grinnell
and to DR.. Kane, and the other officers of the
American expedition, as a memorial of the
sense which they entertain of their arduous and
generous services; and her Majesty's Govern
ment trust that the Government of the United
States will not withhold their permission to
such of those officers as are in their service to

HOUSE.

HOUSE.
Mr.. Campbell, of Ohio, from the Committee
of Ways and Means, reported a bill making
appropriations for the naval service for the
year ending June 80, 1857; which was read
twice, and committed.
Mr.. Benson, from the Committee on Naval
Affairs, reported, with an amendment, Senate
bill to authorize the construction of ten sloops
of war and the bill and amendment were COM
mitted.
The amendment is as follows:
"Procided, That the Secretary of the Navy
may, In his discretion, cause two Of said sloops
to be built with side-wheels, and equipped with
view to the greatest speed attainable with
due regard to their efficiency as war vessels"
On motion of Mr.. Campbell, of Ohio, the bill
making appropriations for the support of the
Military Academy for the year ending June 30,
1857, returned from the Senate, with amend
ments, was taken from the table, and referred
to the Committee of Ways and Means
On motion of Mr.. Campbell, of Ohio, the
House then went into Committee of the Whole
on the state of the Union, mr. Mace, of Indi-
ana, in the chair,) and resumed the considera-
ton of the Presidents annual message, the
question being on the resolutions to refer to
appropriate committees the various subjects
embraced therein.
Mr.. Brenton, of Indiana, commented on that
portion of the message which has reference
to the subject of Slavery. He had no doubt
that the language used would give relish to the
argument in some sections of the country, and
among certain class of his followers but to
those who had looked upon the stars and stripes
of the country as they were thrown to the
breeze, to serve as a warning to the tyrant and
token of liberty to the captive, the views
maintained in the message were unaccounta-
bly, strange. To show the fallacy of the Pres-
dents argument that the Ordinance of 1887
was superseded by the Constitution, he referred
to facts drawn from the history of the Northwest
Territory and the legislation of Congress in
reference thereto. From the exercise by Con-
gress of the power to enforce that Ordinance,
he deduced their power to prohibit Slavery in
the Territories generally, and quoted from the
lecture delivered by Senator Toombs, in Bos-
ton, to show that he occupied position direct
ly opposite to that of the President.
Mr.. Warner, of Georgia, then obtained the
floor, when the Committee rose, and the House
adjourned till Monday.

shutting one Legislature. was not to facilitate
business, certainly not TO facilitate the passage
of bills for either raising revenue or for ex-
pending it.
Such bills, any bills, would pass far more
easily through one House, than through two
Houses and so an edict or law can be passed
far more promptly through the Council of King,
an Emperor, or President, than it can through
our own Legislative Assembly, much more
through two Independent but concurrent Legisla-
tive Chambers. The object of the constitution
al division of the Legislature into two Houses
was altogether different from the mere dispatch
of business. 1t was in accordance with that
principle which Alexander Hamilton pronounc-
ed the chief maxim of Government-to raise
up departments whose interests and inclinations
should be opposed to each other, so that though
one, yielding to some peculiar pressure, might
prove false or faithless to the interests of the
nation or the liberties of the people, another,
| remaining independent and unmoved, might
defend, maintain, and preserve them. This is
| the reason, the true reason, why We have q
Senate as well as House of Representatives,
or why we have House Of Representatives as
well as a Senate. Mr.. Jefferson predicted a
peaceful as well as triumphant success to the
French revolution, notwithstanding it commit
ted the Government of France to one Legislative
body only, contrary to his own just opinions
while John Adams who had studied perhaps
more deeply the philosophy of Government, al
though less profoundly the nature of men, fore
saw all the disasters in which that revolution

ton of all Legislative power in a single Assem-
