WASHINGTON, Friday, April ,, 1853.
When the action of TIE House called up IN
the Senate to-day, Mr. Green was disposed to pro-
ceed TO take the vote forthwith, but Mr. Bigler
must be heard; 80 he bundered on for nearly an
hour. to the great annoy nee of the audience. He
conterded mainly that to submit the Constitution
to the people was the highes! handed kind OF Con-
pressionl nteryention. lie denied any such power
or right.
Mr. Douglas overhsulsd him numerically, show
ing up his stupid errors, and turning every sug'
gested peint to his disadvantage. He said that II
peace vas desired, If popular sovereignty was to
be vindieated, sghston removed from Congress,
State Rights maintained and the integrity of the
Union preserved, ths CritteLden substitute ought
TO pass. The responsibility Of an adverse result
would rest On those who defeated it.
DR. Pugh came out fatfoOted against the amend
ment lie regarded it as the worst proposition
yet made, and flew into pssssn in the effort to
satisfy himself.
On the vote the whole Opposition was polled,
except Mr.. Sumner, who was absent, and Mr.
Durkee. who did not vote. Mr. Pugh's change
makes the count OF - to % right relatively to the
former test
The Administration has been eIerting every
influence to-day to induce a sufficient number oil
members to change to bring about conference,
that being the last desperate reliance TO carry
Lecompton with partial modification, Mr.. Clancy
Jones and others were specially active, but have
produced no visible impression yet. Much capital
has already been fruitlessly squandered.
All indications warrant the belief that the Oppo-
sition will stand solid and firm. The anti -LecOmp-
ton Democrats conferred this morning, and no signs
of falte1iug except in a single case, were mani
tested. The Southern Americans and the Repubii-
cans are upfinching.
When the question Of disagreement with the
Senate comes up, Mr. Montgomery will move to
adhere, and Sfr. Stephens Immediately after to re-
cede. he latter motion will be put FIRST, by par
n ntaIy usage, and the result upon that will
,r ally settle the controversy That once dec-
ded, other motions will follow of course, and the
death. krel Of Leeompton will be sounded.

to manipulation, and 10 effort will be spared to pro-

1t is uncertain when the Kansas bill will come up
again in the House. All attempts to get Mr.
Stephens 70 agree upon time have failea. He
would only indicate Tuesday as the probable day
for taking itup. The Democrats talk az if i would
yet pass; but that's nonsense. 1he Houss will ad-
