CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS

In the Senate, yesterday, after We went to
press, Mr.. Clayton delivered a speech upon
Mr.. Iyerson's resolution for the appointment
of q select committee with power to send for
persons and papers, to examine into and report
on all the action of the late Naval Retiring
Board, in which he particularly defended
Captain Dupont, U. S N, against tho allie
cations against him embraced in the late
speech of Mr. Houston. In the course of his
remarks, Mr. G. reviewed the memorial of
Lieutenant Maury to the Senate with great
severity.
Mr. Bell replied at length, and with great
warmth, to the speech Of Mr.. Clayton, and
particularly in defence of Lieutenant Maury
Fro he had concluded, they adjourned.
In the House, they agreed to the pending
amendmentto the Oregon and W ashi ugton Ter
ritories protection bill, appropriating s12O, 900
for the purchase of gunpowder on the Pacific
coast and then the bill was passed-yeas Ito,

Mr. Campbell, of Ohio, moved to close the
general debate on the Presidents Annual
Message in two hours; giving notice at the
same time that next week he would call up
the Kansas affairs message, on which tho K an
sas question might be debated at lengthy mo
ton not agreed to-
The House then went into Committee (Mr.
Mace in the chair and resuming the consid-
GRAFTON of the Annual Message,
Mr.. Warner addressed the committee at
length on the slavery question, insisting upon
the right of the South to enjoy the territory
of the United States in common with the other
States of the Union, and the right of the citi-
zens Of the South to remove into it with their
slave property. The institution of slavery
was protected by law, and was recognised by
the universal law of nations, and none had a
| right to interfere with it. He said that for
maintaining the great principles embraced in
the Kansas Nebraska bill, and for indicating
the integrity of the Constitution, the Pfesi.
dent of the United States had been denounced
by his opponents as "doughface ;" but it
was much better for him to be called dough-
| face than to have been denounced as guilty of
perjury in failing to discharge his duty under
| that Constitution which he had sworn to SUM-
port and maintaips
Mr.. Allison followed in opposition to the ex-
| tension of slavery.
Mr.. Smith, of Tennessee, obtained the floor,
when the committee rose, and the House adj
journed.

ASENsIBLE FREAK OF FASHION Late hours
have so long been the besetting sin of all balls,
parties, DC, in fashionable life, that it is quite
refreshing tafind an effort made to effect y
change A practice has just been INTRODUCED
IN New York which is decidedly en- effort at
reform. 1t is, to say specifically upon the card
OF invitatation that the pleasure of the guest s
company is desired from seven to eleven
clock, p. m. At ten minutes after eleven tho
music plays good night, and the hostess ia kes
her place to pay the parting compliments to
her visiters. The fashionable hours have
been from ten to two, and the reform simply
takes three hours from the latter part Of
the entertainment and places them in the
fore-part.
Who will introduce this very sensible reform
in Washington At present it is hardly ETH
quette to leave ball OF party before three or
four O'Clock in the morning, and in consc-
quense those who have any regard for their
health are obliged to stay away altogether.

WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP:

A Powerful Appeal.-After returning from
the late Virginia State Democratic Conven-
ton, we took occasion TO mention our impress
given at Cincinnati for the denomination of
President Pierce. ALI the information we
have since received from all quarters of tho
State confirms this opinion. We may add
truthfully, that the circumstances tending to
secure the vote of Virginia for the renomina-
tion of President Pierce, are acting no less
powerfully throughout the whole South We
md them so cOncisely, eloquently and fOrci.
Oily set forth in an anonymous phamphlet.
bearing the following title The next Presi-
dency. An appeal to the Democracy of Yer
ginia. 1856, "-as that we extract them there
from by way Of presenting them to the Stars
readers far more satisfactorily than through
elaboration by our own pen:
eff President Pierce is not available, then
there is no available candidate in the ranks of
the Democracy. Is there disposition to pro-
scribe him because of the prominent part he
has played in the fight with the Abolitionists?
Are the Democracy to dodge issues? Are we
to make concession to the prejudices Of our foe!
L
not, then let tho Democracy adopt the most
manly, the most straightforward, and the most
chivalric policy. Let US make the distinct is
sue before the country. Let US proclaim our
principles without equivocation snd with q
shout Of defiance. And for leader let US Sc
lect no timid tlme-server, no skulking coward;
but let US take the veteran of the war, all
covered as he is with glorious wounds, and bid
him conduct as to defeat or to an honorable
triumph. With Franklin Pierce for candi.
date, the Democracy can conduct the canvass
on no other but the highest grounds His
principles are not susceptible of equivocation
He stands before the country, not like cloudy
unrsality which anybody may liken to what
soever figures may please his fancy, but in
distinct proportion and bold relief. He is tie
same East, West, North and South His posi-
ton In regard to every measure of public
policy is incontrovertibly certain, and his
nomination will perfect the consistency and
Individuality of the Democratic party.
son the head of Franklin Pierce fell the
wrath which the repeal of the Missouri re-
striction provoked throughout the North. He
was reviled and prosecuted as no public man
was ever before reyiled and prosecuted in this
country. He was assailed not oply by the
violence Of his enemies, but by that more cut
ting pain-the desertion of friends, Yet did
ne not shrink. He never swerved from his
support OF the South, nor abated jot or title
OF heart in eur service. And is this the m an
whom the South will betray for some easy
person who has been reposing in inglorious
neutrality while Franklin Pierce was enduring
the sweat and agony of the strife ~
