message was received from the Postmaster
General, giving information concerning the Louisi
ana mail Irregularities and the mail contracts.
The Report Of the Secretary of the Treasury was
received,
On motion to print 10000 copies Of this report
and 800 extra for the use Of the Department,
Mr. HAMLIN raised the question as to whether
the Senate had power TO order the printing OF any
document except through the Superintendent OF
Public Printing. He took the position that no
Public Printer had been elected, and that no doc
ument could be printed according to law, until a
printer had been elected He therefore moved to
Law the motion to print on the table. NH
Mr. MASON admitted the irregularity, but
thought that the exigenciee Of the case would jus
tfy the irregulsrity. The Presidents Message was
printed under these circumstances, and the Report
Of the Secretary Of the Treasury was equally Inn
portant s75syts
. Mr.. BRODHEAD. advocated the printing, and
thought it could be done without infringing ON any
Law.
Mr.. STUART was willipn. to evsde the law to
meet the necessities Of cass. B0t the print.
ing must be paid for from the contingent fund, and
Mr.. ADAMS opposed the printing Of the docu
ments until the law had been complied with.
Mr.. TOUCEY thought the letter and spirit o
the law would be pAipAbly violated BY the Senatei
ordering any paper printed without resersnce mrs.
to the Committee on Printing. At this time there
wss no such committee, therefore II would b.
against the law 10 order the printing.
Mr. YULEEl moved to anhsnd By ordering the
matter lie on the table for short limo. s.ss

American Doctrines.

we PUBLISH To-Day WIN muCn pleasure, !
letter from the Hon. w. w. Walk, Of New
York, together with an editorial Of the Auburn
New York American, advancing what we have
maintained to be the true doctrines and policy
of the American party on the. question Of sla
very. These articles harmonic entirely witt
the resolutions adopted by the American party
Of Rockingham county, Virginia, published In
our issue Of yesterday, in which resolutions
the course Of the american Organ, on this
subject was distinctly approved. It is mos'
gratifying to us when assaulted by ultraists al
both ends of the Union to be able to exhibit
such proofs, that conservative men, both North
and South, are ready to unite In sustaining the
positions which we deem essential to the pre-
seryation Of the American party.
We know how difficult it is, in times o.
high sectional excitement for even the most
sound and unwaveting friends OF the Union,
to stand forth and sustain conservative opin,
IONS amid the denunciations of ultraists, but
we regard it as tho duty of all such friends
Of the Union, boldly and freely to proclaim
their determination to resist the measures and
Movements Of nltraists, and to preserve the
existence and maintain the integrity of the
American, party. Let the friends Of the Union,
the enemies of sectionalisnl the advocates Of
Americanism every,chero proclaim their pur-
pose to resist the Interpolation of any slavery
issues, pro or con, into the creed Of the Amer
lean party, and the conservative portion Of the
American people, North and South, will rally
around the standard Of National american
ism, and carry 1t In triumph through the Pres
idential canvass Of 1856.
The positions taken by the American party
in Rockingham, Virginia, are those which will
stand the test of scrutiny, and if adopted by
the party generally, at the South, as we trust
they will be, will ensure the cordial Corpora
ton of this party at the North and West, and
result in making it the strongest and most ma
tonal party that has existed IN the country in
our day. Whilst approving Of the principles
of the 18th section of the Philadelphia Plat
form, the Americans of Rockingham, Virginia,
protest against the said 18th section being
made test of nationality in the American
partyn-they resolve that "all the South
ought to ask Of the North is to discountcnance
all agitation Of the question Of slavery"
They solemnly deprecate the discussion Of any
topic that may have a tendency to weaken the af
lection of the American people for the Union; !
they win cordially cooperate with all who ap-
prove of the objects for which this party was
formed, to wit, the putting down Of foreign infiu
ence and the corruptions which prevail in our ma
tionaI government and, in fine, they "cofdially
approve the course of the An,erican Organ" on
the slave question, which course has been, whilst
under our charge, as we think, national and con
servatiye. What American" who desires the
success of his party, gainsay the the positions
taken by our friends Of the "tenth legion" Of the
Old nnmininn0 - -

prevent the division Of Texas into these four
slave States. The North may insist upon the
repeal of this four State provision, and have
the power to do it. 1.-THE repeal Of the Doug
las prohibition can be effected, the other can
be. The North may Say to the South, As you
have repealed the free State provision, we will
repeal the slave State provision. And then
will che country be again agitated by sectional
discussions. ne kg .s aq HaE
IL the kansas Nebraska bin repeats the
Douglas prohibition, this issue is inevitable
If it does not, then there must be speedy end
to the present sectional difficulties, for Kansas
will be free State. What then has the South
gained by the repeal Of the Missouri Compro-
mise lne. Either nothing, or blow which will
| be laid on with treble the power of any hereto
fore, and that blow originating either in the
ignorance Of her present legislators, or in the
folly OF those who have gone before them. II
is well that the people Of the South, we do not
mean designing and corrupt politicians, should
examine the question involved in the abroga-
ton of the Missouri Compromise line, calmly,
and study well the issues which are involved
in it. We have thrown out the preceding sug'
gestions FOR their guidance. We can see in the
distances more fearful issue than any which
has as yet arisen, and we can trace the history
of many leading Southern politicians, and show
to every unprejudiced mind, that selhshness
lies at the bottom Of all their boasted patriotism
and chivalry, Politicians have cursed the
South. We shall show next the position Of the
administration party upon these questions

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.


Mr.. MACE offered resolution that the acting
door-keeper of the House be ordered 10 lock the
doors of the hall instanter, and not TO open them
except for the ingress of absent members
Mr.. MACE remarked that there was high eccle-'
sastical precedent for this procedure. In the year
1868, after the College Of Cardinals had been in
session for three years without electing Pepe,
the gates Of the city closed and the cardinals
locked up in their council chamber. The result
was, Pope was speedily elected
Mr. MACE believed that the adoption of his res
olution would lead to the election Of a Speaker
within ten hours. ~
The resolution was laid on the table by q large
majority. il

which question was then decided against Mr. HALE,
Who took his seat, saying that he could wait for
the discussion of this question as long the coun
try could.
Mr.. CASS hoped these papers would be printed
without any further delay, as they were needed.
Mr.. CLAYTON thought the Senate bad power
to print notwithstanding the law, and proceeded to
show that his position was just
Mr.. SEWARD thought that these documents
should be laid before the country as soon as posi-
ble and that regular or irregular, they should lind
power to print them Immediately.
Mr.. TOUCEY explained that his opposition was
to the printing of extra copies, which bad become
an evil. The law said such motions should be re-
ferred to the Committee on Printing He thought
that the Senate should set the example of bowling
to law, even though it should be,to their own in
convenicnce-law should be obeyed until its repeal

Mr.. CLAYTON again pressed the necessity of
