/ Ny letter closed yesterday after that p6r.
ion of the Message relating tosthe trou-
bles in the South had been read and te-
! fore Tue other details had been finished.
Aftet I-came back from mailing it at the
REPssSs efRse went over TO the Senate
I 10 see what we're the effects OF the PRESS
dents document on that body senator
CIinsIan. Of q. @, was speaking as / went
in. This gentleman. Jon viii have noticed,
is.a candidate. and very anxious one,
too, before the North Carolina Legislature,
now in session, for rejection. He has
already received the caucus nomination of
his party, thc Democrats but they have
resolved to wait fer the issue of events in
the South before they go into an election.
Mr. olingman evIdenGy feels the suspense
OF his position al. home, and soSYesterlay,
in the face of universal desjrc, OF admitted
propriety, and might say of decency it
self, he got mp and expressed his dissent
from the Presidents views in that he tthe
Prestdenti had moi met the acquisitions Of
the South. 1t was as low a partisan bar
argue as Jon would ever hear on the.
stump, and have heard no one who heard
it express himself otherwise. As soon as
he- had finished, Senator Crittenden4 al :,
most sprung from his seat anu at once had
the recognition of the Chair No sooner
was the venerable bnt stalwart form of9the
noble old Kentuckian discried BIZ the gaix
leries, than they rose as one man and
STOPPING overNeach Others shoulders, they
listened with bated breath Eorthe scathine
re6uke which they knew was coming. And
they were uot disappointed either: forit did
come. Senator Crittenden said he had
heard scarcely one word fell from the Inns of
the North Carolina Senator which he could
commend, and he hoped that the bad ex-
ample which he had set would not be fol-
lowed by any other Senator. 1t was With
the greatest difficulty that perfect out
break of applause all round the galleries
could be suppressed. The eyes of most
every man and woman in all the spacious
galleries, looked a ttGod bless the old nat
riot" One man, sitting near me, spoke
out, and said that be did not believe that
thu officers of the Senate ought to be al
lowed to restrain the enthusiasm of the.
people. In5concluding his few aud point
ed remarks, Senator Crittenden turned
round and, looking witheringly in the face
OF Clingman, said: "Sir, shall this proud
government of onrs-the n0blest ever
deSised-which was the glory of our faith
ers, become the shame ard Condemnation
of US, their unworthy descendants pr
When Mr.. Crittenden sat down, Clinpman
arose to say something in extenuation and
qualification of his remarks, but the Sem
ate was ia no temper TO listen TO him fur
ther, and Hale, of New Hampshire, moved
AN adjournment, which was unanimously
carried.
Coming back to the House., / find all
hands going it on motion TO refer so
much OF the message as related to the
state of the country; to special commit.
tee of one from each State, that one to be
chosen by his delegation. Ashley. from
the Toledo district, Ohio, to his disparage-
ment be, it recorded, was the 6rst one who
votedtagpinsttthe reference. Bingham, from
the sCadiz district; followed him Your
neiGhbof, Theaker, as was his duty, voted
for the reference. The fire-ea of the
raold sort, inrcompany , with Ashley, Bing-
ham, and that school, voted also against
ESI D.
e., was called, lie got up and very glibely
said that it made but little difference how
he and his colleagues voted; his State was
out OF the Confederacy, and there was no
use in voting. Pugh, of Ala, got up and
said his State was going to follow suit,
and there WAS no suse4in his delegation vo-
ting either. Ten of his delegation got up.
and ,rebuked him right on.the spot, by vo-
ting for the reference. The telegraph has
apprised you that the motion was carried
by nearly q thrce-fourths vote. Great
hopes are entertained of this Committee,
and good deal more buoyancY was OBJ
servable among Union men, last night, at
the hotels although the secession feeling
was nothing da1nted, but only the more
determined. AS an instance of this last.
MAJ mention to you scene that occur
red Mt Brownsville headquarters of the
ultra cockade gentlemen.s Some of.thoser
hddters and harpers that frequent places
OF public resort in all cities, came in aud
struck up the "Marsellaies,p and played it
well. Soon they had a crowd Of about
twenty Hrosettesn around them, all about
half drunk, and full of demoniac patriot
ISM. They made the room hideous with
the vehement discording of their chorus.
In the midst of the "fnish, high above
the rest, one fellow yelled out, "libcrty
or death is id humbug; sing cot
ton confederacy or DEATH" At the con-
clusion three cheers were given for n
Southern republic, the re-opening of The
Slave trade, and JEFF: Davis as President.
