government over Dacorah.
Mr.. Brow n moved that certain petition on
file. regarding the Alexandria, Loudoun
and Hampshire Railroad, be referred to the
Committee ON the District OF Columbia.
Agreed to.
And after session of ten minutes, the
Senate adjourned to Tuesday next.
House Of Represe ntativss.
Mr.. Boyce took the floor, and argued that
the Black Republican party was ali uucon
stitutional party. Every now and then, Mr..
Stanton, of ONO, took occasion to interrupt
him, and to state the principles of the Re-
publican party in more conservative form
than they were presented by Mr.. Boyce.
While this was going on, Mr.. kiilinger,
Of Pennsylvania, rose and desired 10 say To
the gentleman from South Carolina, whose
name was somewhat associated with free
trade, that great deal too much had been
said on this floor about slavery. Twenty
two out of the twenty-five Pennsylvania
members had been elected upon u protective
tariff platform. If the Republican party
did not stand upon that platform. or put u
candidate upon it whose whole life had been
devoted TO protective policy, they could not
carry Pennsylvania. He warned the Re-
publicans that the recent call for Republl-
can National Convention, had said nothing
about protection. lie would say to the gen
tleman from South Carolina, that il he would
give protection to Coal and Iron, Penusyl-
vania would agree to violate none of the
compromises Of the Constitution. Loud and
long continued laughter.)

MIA, in debate, as 10 whether the Republl-
can party was II better friend of the tariff
than the Democratic party. The debate
called up various Interesting "reminiscences
Of the past course of the delegation, during
which several severe personal illusions were
made, and much excitement manifested. In
the debate, there had been much complaint
that the fires Of the Pennsylvania furnaces
had been put out, and MIR. Eailaudigham
produced much merriment by very graveiy
enuurinr in the midst Of fiery discussion,
in which the several Pennsylvania members
were warmly engaged,
Mr.. Clerk. Are not all the Pennsylvania
furnaces in full blast:
At the conclusion Of this discussion,
Mr.. CLARK, of Mississippi, declared that
after to-day he should press a vote upon his
Helper book resolution.
Mr.. Win>low. Of North Carolina, hoped
that the House would adjourn over until

to resist a vote upon Mr.. Clark's resolution,
and insisted that sooner or later the House
