WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.
SENATE.

DENA Il.
The Chair presented a report from the Sec
retary of the Senate, showing the progress
made in the printing of the American state
papers.
Mr.. Clay gave notice Of his intention to in
troduce bill to repeal the Fishing Bounties
act.
Mr. Powell gave notice of his intention to in
troduce bill to abolish the franking privilege.
Mr. Mason's resolution was taken up.
Mr.. Simmons advocated Mr.. TrumbulTs
amendment. He condemned Browns attempt,
but said the attempt to implicate parties, with
out proof was very dangerous proceeding,
and one not calculated to produce quiet in the
minds of the people.
Mr. Mallory said the cause of Virginia was
that of the South, and it expected to stand by
her. The sympathy universally expressed in
the North for Brown showed that the irrepres-
sibe conflict had indeed commenced
Mr. IverSon referred to the action of the
Massachusetts Senate, as sharing their sympa-
thy for Brown. Eleven members voted for
adjournment and eleven against it, while there
were twenty absentees shirking vote and
afraid to commit themselves in the record.
Mr.. Iverson alluded to Helpers book, as
counseing the slaves to put the knife to the
throats Of their masters, and the torch to their
dwellings.
vestigaton. 1t was insulting to charge Re-
publican Senators with completely.
Mr.. Brown said if it was not true that SYM
pathy was generally felt for Brown. let the Re-
publicans call general meetings, and disavow
it.
Mr.. Chandler was in favor of the resolution
for reasons different from those stated by 9TH
ers. This has been the first execution for
treason in the United States. He wanted it to
go forth as warning to all traitors, no matter
whether Garrison aboliti0nists, or Southern
Governors who declare that in certain contin-
gencies they will raise their hands against the
Constitution and the Union.
Mr.. Chestnut of South Carolina alluded to
Mr. Stewards Rochester speech and said, how
significant the language. Though he doubt
less meant a moral and intellectual invasion,
unlettered intellect might understand it liter
ally.
The Senate adjourned.
HOUSE.
Mr.. Kellogg rose to a question of privi-
lege, and caused to be read from the New York
Tribune dispatches, dated tho 9TH inst, as fol-
lows 1.-The country must not hold the
Republican side of the House responsible
for the cowardly performances of to-day
1t was the act of a very few fossil

gress Mr.. Ohio Stantons motion to adjourn
was voted down, lis to 113, only one Republ-
can voting with him. Mr.. Illinois Kellogg's
motion to adjourn, which prevailed by the help
ofthe entire Democratic and South American
vote, was condemned by two-thirds of the Re,
publicans, but could not be beaten" Mr.. Kel-
logg wished to show the false position Mr..
Greeley holds in the Republican party. When
his (Kellogg's) constituents complain of him,
then it would be time for the gentleman of
New York to complain If the Republicans
have any regard for their own dignity, they
will rebuke those who by trfckery prepare pa
pers for Others to sign When the struggle in
Illinois commenced, Mr. Greeley and others
met in the parlor of Senator Douglas, plotting
and planning to sell Illinois and Missouri to
him. He (Kellogg) knew it, and could prove
it. He never loved traitor. The idea was, to
make Mr. Douglas senator-to re-elect him, and
it was done. Mr.. Douglas, in the mean
time was declaring that he was Democrat.
When the battle had been fought, Mr. Greeley
did say that Mr. Douglas was Free Soiler
Good enough for him. Mr., Kellogg had no
knowledge or recollection that he signed the

stronger and stronger Democratic; and the
time would soon come when great majority
of the people will be Republican
Mr.. McCernaud replied, thrt if such con-
sultation occurred, how came his colleague,
Kellogg, to know it If the consultation was
private, he as an individual would have scorn-
ed to reveal what was said. 1t was strange
that such a charge should now be made, after
it was known that Mr. Greeley had endeavor-
ed to defeat Mr.. Douglas reelection employ.

ey, too, to that end, was raised in New York
whether by Mr.. Greeley's influence or not, he
could not say. Mr.. Greeley not only used his
press, but his private influence, to defeat MIR.
Douglas. Illinois has always becn Demo-
cratic. She is for the Union, the whole
Union, and the rights of the South. He con-
demned Mr.. Stewards sentiments. The Re-
publican movement had been prolific of most
deploraole consequences which he proceeded
to detail Towards the conclusion of his re-
marks he said the question was whether they
should elect a Speaker standing on national
or sectional platform. He was for the former
Mr.. Kellogg, in reply, said he was not at
the conference but what he had stated was
the fact lie was pleased with the remarks OF
his colleague, Mr.. McClernaud, who, it had
been said, was not in full communication with
his party.
