SENATE-The loan bill was discussed, during
which Messrs Toombs and Crittendcn spoke un
equivocay on the subject ofthe British aggres-
sons in the Gulf.
Mr.. Toombs asserting that the Government
should have sunk the British ships, or seizing
them, brought their officers here and hanged
them, and Mr.. Crittenden while believing that
England would make ample apology, saying,
that English cannon should not be permitted to
stop our ships. He would not dispute with Eng
land about the abstract right of search; let her
found her claim on what prerogative or sup
posed right she may, but the moment she
makes an aggression on our right and honor,
will, said Mr.. G., fight her upon the fact, with
war for the argument.
In the House the fortifcation bill was discuss.
ed, and the chances of war with England
generally considered. There was no definite
action. Adjourned.

The TEsT OF DEMocRAcY.-If Thomas Jeffer-
son be aware of the fortunes OF Democracy and
the changing phases it assumes, he will have
cause to bite his lips in view Of its present ano
malous position
Here is the latest test OF Democracy, clipped
from the great national organ, the Washington
Union:
"The admission Of Kansas into the Union
under the Lecompton Constitution is now the
recognized and well defined policy of the Dem
ocratic party; that it is 50 considered BY large
majority Of that party, both in and out Of Con-
gress; and that whether 1t be made test Of
party fealty or not, those Democrats who OPP
pose It are warning upon . vital measure Of
their party, and to that extent at least must and
will be regarded and dealt with as aliens and
enemies"
And the Richmond South, the outspoken or
gan Of slavery, more clearly defines the issue in
these brief words:
'Kansas may come into the Union as Slave
State, OR SHE CANNOT CONE IN At ALL. That
is the ISSUE"

"We all know that since last October the
prospect Of making Slave State of Massachu-

ing Slave State Of Kansas"
This tales so peculiarly with the views Of
the President, as expressed in his special Kan

while to quote the letter in this connection
Mr. Buchanan (Feb. 2d,) says:
