j. ID. Williamson, who arrived this morn
ing in the custody Of officers Of the House,
says the reason he declined to come to WASH
ington was solely because he was Under heavy
bonds not to leave New York, and that the
officers Of the House kidnapped him yester-
day, not allowing him time or opportunity
to consult Lis family. or take ont writ of
habeas corpus. He throws himself on his
rights in that respect, and privately avows
his present determination not to testify be-
fore the select committee to investing gate charg-
es against members and officers Of the last
House growing out Of the disbursements OF
Lawrence, Stone e. Co. to influence the pas
sage of the tariff act, on the ground that the
Committee have no right to question him in

WAsHISsToN, Feb. 3-P
Brown. of Mississippi, concurre1 most cor
daily with the Message Of the President
Seldom had he read document of the same
length from which he found so little to dis
sent. There could be bit two opinions re,a-
tive to that paper. Those entertained by
national men Of all parties on one side, and
those entertained by sectional men on the
other. He never expected the Senator from
Mass. would concur in the arguments and
conclusions of u national President, whether
ne might be n Democrat, American. or
Wing. Nothing but sectionalism would
meet the appreciation Of that Senator, who
had made a mistake in surprising that
speeches, like old wine. would improve with
age. For his own part. lie loved old friends
and old wine in moderation. and he rever-
enced old age, but he abhorred ar old speech
delivered from year to year through the
whole Senatorial term. Instead OF proceed
ing with his remarks he would yield the
floor If the question could not be taken on
reference of the Message. :.
Fessenden said he wished to express his
views but could not promise his speech
should be very short one.
Brown said he did not expect to convince
tho on the other side of the question:
Like Ephram, they were joined TO their idols.
and he would let them alone. He then pro-
ceeded to present some considerations to the
minds of ris political friends, which might
perhaps influence them il they entertained
any doubts as to the course they ought to
pursue. and in the course of his remarks
he said the Republican party had not shad
ow of existence inside of the slaveholdng
States, and that if it succeeded in its efforts
to break up the national Democratic party.
il was certain the country would DC divided
into two sectional parties. In that event, the
Union would he drawn asunder, and this was
rs certain as the shnrose this morning and
| will set tonight. .
Brown was about to reply to the former
remarks of Douglas, when Seward said he
was quite sure the question on reference
could not be taken up this evening. lie
thought they had better adjourn. They
could digest what the Senator from Missis-
sippi had said to-day and hear the remainder
| of his speech tomorrow.
Stewart said he should at proper time pay
his full respects to Browns criticisms.
After short executive session the Senate
adjourned.

The Senate's Democratic Catcus held last
night was merely to determine the order of
business. 1t was agreed to refer the Presi-
dents Kansas Message, and first to dispose of
the Army bill. The attendance was large.
Mr.. Douglas was present. Although the
Kansas question was freely discussed, there
was no attempt made to find the votes of
Senators in advance, as such would be con-
trary to the principles which have usually
characterised such secret meetings.
A Democratic Caucus Of the members of
the House will be held to morrow night.
