CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS

In the House, yesterday, after we went to
press, the bill for the relief of West Drink.
water was discussed at length in Committee
Of the Whole House by Messrs Knowltop
and Taylor in its favor, and Messrs. Millson
and Letcher against it.
Mr.. Millson then moved to lay it aside, with
a recommendation that 1t do not pass; on
which motion no quorum voted.
The roll was then called, and the names of
the absentees having been reported, the COM
mittee rose.
Mr.. Campbell, of Ohio, remarked that he
gave notice the other day that on Monday
next he would call up for consideration the
report of the select committee in reference to
the assault upon Senator Sumner. He had
learned since, however, that the report had
not yet been printed, notwithstanding it was
submitted to the House more than two weeks
ago He had also learned that next week had
been set apart for the consideration of terri
torial business. Not wishing to interfere with
that business, nor to press the consideration
of the report to which he had referred until
members should have had an opportunity to
thoroughly investigate the testimony, he would
state to the House that he had deferred call
ing up the report for one week.
Mr.. Washburn, of Me-, again asked permits
sion to make a personal explanation; but OBJ
lection was made
And then, after an Intellectual motion to ad-
journ over until Monday, and another for a
call OF the House, they adjourned.

Launch Of the U. s. steam {figate Colorado
IcoRREsPONDENcE OF THE STAR
PORTSMOUTH. Va. june 10. 1854

PORTSMOUTH, Va, June 10, 1856.
We have just returned from the launch of
the United States steamer Colorado, and can
truly say, as thousands will testify, that it
was one of the most successful and beautiful
launches ever made. Persons were present
from all parts Of the Union. Frem half past
seven to ten this morning the crowd was con-
stantly gathering from the surrounding towns
and cOuntry-in carriages, row boats, sail
boats, and steam boats. The number present
has been variOusly estimated ; should Judge
that there was not less than eight thousand
In and around the navy yard alone. 1t is
certain that there never were so many in the
yard before 10 witness LAUNCH.
At precisely five minutes past ten the noble
ship glided into her destined element amid
the cheers OF the spectators and the roar of
the guns Of the Pennsylvania.
Many, from the large size of the Colorado,
feared that some accident might occur; but
those who knew the worthy naval construc-
tor, Samuel 7. Hartt, Esq thought other
wise. They knew that when he said the
steamer was ready to be launched, they need
have no apprehensions.
Too much credit cannot be given to our in
defatigable master builder, John L. Porter,
Esq, for his skill and ingenuity The noble
ship did not even strike the opposite shore,
but fOated upon "the waters ike a thing OF
life, and will be q witness, as long as she
rides the wave, Of the skill and efficiency of
the constructor, master builder, and mechan
les OF the Gosport navy yard.
There was not the least accident happened
to any one so far as We have heard. M.

SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS

The Union criticises the proceedings of the
recent Philadelphia Republican party Con.
vention, to show that it was a mere sectional
gathering. The same paper reviews the speech
of Gen. Watson Webb delivered in that con.
vention, and maintains that it was full of trea.
sonable declarations.
In reply to a paragraph in the Richmond
Wing, arguing tn at Col Benton's support Of
Mr.. Buchanan should make the South sus.
piciOus Of the latter, the Unton argues that
the Colonel's favor for Mr.. B. is a false pre-
tence, designed only to draw OF votes from the
Democratic electoral ticket in Missouri to a
bogus Buchanan ticket, so that the Democratic
nominees may fail to receive the vote of that
State.
The Lnteiiigsnesr says of Mr.. Buchanan
letter Of acceptance of the Cincinnati nom.
nation
We remember nothing from Mr.. Buc-
hanan's pen which has seemed to Us conceived
In terms more appropriate to the occasion or
more worthy of the rank he occupies among
our living statesmen. 1t was of course to be
expected that, in formally accepting the nom
lnation made in Cincinnati he should also
formally endorse the platform erected so
hastily, and as we think, unwisely, by the
political architects Of the Democratic party
In Convention assembled.
We may say, however, that Mr. Buchan.
ans official letter Of acceptance, while not
expressly repudiating the extreme and excep-
tionable doctrines foisted into the Democratic
confession Of faith by the Cincinnati Conyep-
ton, does yet, by its spirit and tenor, incline
US to hope that he means, if elected, so to
construe those doctrines as to disarm them
OF their mischievous significance and evil ten
dency: Indeed We can give no other meaning
than this to Mr.. Buchanan declaration when
he says that he accepts the resolutions con-
shutting the platform of principles erected by
the Convention" in Il @ same spirit as that
which prompts his acce ,tance Of the nominal
ton rendered to him by his party, namely, a
desire 50 10 discharge the duties Of the high
ONCE to which he aspires as " to allay domes-
TIC strife, preserve peace and friendstip Nth
Jore1gn nations, and promote the best int.
rests Of the Republic These We know NAV
seem TO the eensorious nothing more than
vague generalities but we trust th at the con
versatism and prudence resulting it NAV be
hoped from Mr.. Buchanan's age and expert
ence, will give to them a scope and an appli-
cation which shall restrict within safe bonds
the lauless spirit which seems unhappiIy to
be but too rife in certain classes Of our conn
trymen, and to which, in an unfortunate
episode Of his late diplomatic career, Mr..
Buchanan himself seems to have furnished
some countenance and sympathy"
