CONGRESSIONAL. s. 3
THIRTY. fifth Cengress-First Sessisn.


In THE SENATE, day, the morning hour was
occupied in the transaction Of private business,
large amount Of which was appropriately dis
posed Of
Mr. Bell then proceeded to speak In relation to
Joint resolutions from the Tennessee Leg islature
directing him 10 resign his seat In the Senate
account Of his refusal to obey certain directions
as to his action respecting the Kansas matter.
He was still speaking when our report closed.
IN THE HovsE, Mr. Crawford, from the Com
mittee on Ways and Means, reported bill ap-
propriating moneys to pay certain deficiencies
for peper. engraving, printing and binding,
which was ordered bv the 33d and Gath Congress
On motion Of Mr. Clngmar, the resolutions ef
inquiry submitted by Mr. Hoard, Of New York
touching certain allegations to the effect that the
Administration has been using undue influence
to secure the vote Of member on the passage OF
the bill for the admission of Kansas with the
Lecompton Constitution, were pos poned until
Thursday next.
The House then went into Committee of the
Whole.
Mr.. Burroughs, of New York, proceeded to
make a speech on the Kansas question. He re-
piled to an alleged charge Of selfshness against
the North, in the premises He recounted the
purchases of terrtory-Florida, Louisiana, &c
which enured wholly to the benefit Of the South
The treaty for Texas, tso he held to be an outlay
especially for the South.
He summed up that the purchase of territory
for the benefit Of the Southern States has already
cost the General Government SOO.OO,oO0
% Where did the money come from?' To show
that IL was not derived from the Southern States,
he called attention to the commercial, numerical
and industrial statistics Of the country.
Mr.. Ii. used numerous other facts tn sustain
his position that the North was entitled tn have
Kansas a free State. For his part he thought the
North would be justified in opposing the admis-
sion into the Union, under any circumst stances
with constitution recognizing slavery.
He next tried to convince the members OF some
of the Southern States that the citizens of th-iI
own States would gain in pecuniary advantages
by giving away their slaves as in that event the
men of the North would remove thither and

MINNESOTA AND ANsAs Information has
reached Washington, It is said, that OH the 9th
instant, resolutions were introduced into the Leg
islature Of Minnesota condemning the admins
tration in its Kansas policy, declaiming against
the proposition to unite the two Territories in
one act Of admission, and instructing their Sen
ators and members elect to oppose the admission
Of Kansas with the Lecompton Constitution The
resolutions were promptly voted down by a ma
jority Of four-the vote being IS to 3i-thus show

SPIRIT or The MORNING PRESS.

The Union, this morning reviews at length
an article in the Philadelphia Press against
the action of the President in regarding active
efforts on the part of oficeholders to thwart his
(ths President's) policy and measures as just
cause for removal. The editor shows, conclu-
siyeIy, that the Press is as distinctly and bit
terly in general opposition to the Administra-
ton and the Democracy as the New York Tn
5atne itself; and next, that in the Cases of the
recreant postmasters at Chicago and Columbus
that the Presidents duties to his trust from the
Democracy left him no alternative except their
prompt remov al from Office He the editor of
the Union also explodes the subterfuge of the
Press attributing to all in Congress who, having
heretofore been Democrats, voted for the resolu-
ton of Mr. Harris, of Illinois, the fixed deter
mination Of remaining in opposition to the De-
mocracy.
We further find in the Union, to-day, the
Grafton delivered in Richmond, Va, yesterday
by Senator Hunter-an elaborate production,
worthy, indeed, of its authors great fame as a
statesman, as we'll as k,fyateur. Our DELHI
crate opinion is, that as a didactic writer-an
instructive writer-Robert M. T. Hunter com
bines more solidity of reasoning grace, elo-
quence and perspicacity, with unsurpassed use
full and agreeable information, than any other
living writer on this side Of the Atlantic. 1t
will require the publication of very few more
such literary efforts from him to secure for him
this reputation among the critics.
The MteIiigencer also, this morning, contains
the same fine grafton.
