SATCsDA1 Jun. .. iOVS'
.SThe Clerk read the journal oil yesterday.
Mr. Phelps said that the Clerk evidently
did not understand the waggery of The Sem
ate, and had placed upon the journal a reSo-
Iuriou adopted by an outside Senate and mol
intended to go on the record.
The Chair explained that the Clerk had
not intended to plare the resolution referred
tc upon the journal, but it was the Wish oi
the Senator offering it. and he had no obJec-
ton.
The ~iournsl was accordingly corrected.
Mr.. Phelps said he was charged with the
DUTY of presenting to the Senate a series OF
resolutions relative to the action of our Sen
afors and Representatives in Congress, upon
a subject at this time Of deep interest to the
nation. He did not expect that they would
be debated by his side of the chamber, as
they had already been considered and aPpro-
we'd; but If the gentlemen on the other side
desired to discuss them, he would cheerful y
extend the courtesy. 1t was the W sh OF The
majority of the Senate to adopt them at the
earliest period; but if it were the pleasure
of the minority to postpone and print, ne had
no objection. With the leave of the Senate
he would read:
