Congressional Proceedings.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-In the United States Sem
ate yesterday, Mr.. Glingman made motion for
| the publication of the message. He thought
number of the States would secede from the Fed
| eral Union within sixty days, and that the best
thing Congress can do under the circumstances is,
to divide the public property fairly after paying its
debts.
Mr.. Crittenden said the gentleman had better
have stayed at home than come to make such pro-
positions.
Mr. Clingman replied that when the Union ceases
to protect North Carolina the latter will give good
bye.
The discussion ended, and the Senate adjourned
over till to-day.
In the House Of Representatives, the question of
printing the message was taken up and discussed
at considerable length.
Several Southern members refused to vote on
the proposition or amendments, on account of their
States having called Conventions to consider sece-
sion.
The Presidents Message.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-The Presidents message
is condemned by the extremists both North and

the general principles enunciated.
