SATURDAY, Jan. IL, 1861.
SENATE
The 4Sth rule OF the Senate was read and
The Vice Pres dent said though it might be thought
that under the peculiar circumstances surrounding the
deliberations OF the Senate the present juucture of
hrs, the rule OF the Senate might be relaxed unless
by the unanimous consent Of The Senate, it not
pe0ded.
Mr. Cameron moved thai the rule be suspended.
The Vice President said the consent thereto of the
Senate must be unanimous
Mr.. Toombs objected, and the SergeaDt-atA Arms pro-
ceeded to clear the floor of the Senate Chamber Of all
but those entitled its privileges under the 4Sh rule Of
the Senate.
Those unauthorized persons who had been excluded
from the floor stationed themselves in the passages aud
under the same rule
The Vice President ordered the passages to be cleared,
which was accordingly done.
The journal Was then read.
After private business,
Mr.. Douglas pres ed resolution relative ap-
pontment officer of the Smithsonian Institute in
the place OF the Hon. James Pearce which would be
| vacated on the Sd of March, 1851.
Mr. Dooltte offered Joint resolution to enable Capt.
Pauding Of the United States Navy accept of vote
OF thanks sword Of honor and grant of land from
| the republic OF Nicaragua
Mr. Seward, taking the floor said that when Congress
Adjourned it was under auspices of tranquility and hap
piness When it reasSeMbed it in the midst OF APP
prehension and seditious movements threatening the
| integrity Of the Government
From these circumstances, the report had gone over
the seas that We are falling into most momentous and
disastrous revolution. 1t difficult, amid various
counses to decide wha, ought TO even could be done
Yet every Senator should declare his position and fol
lowing the example of the noble Senator from Tennessee
he would declare himself for the Union in its integrity
all its parts and in any event. in peace war; honor
dshonor, and would lift up his voice for bis whole
country and this ines.irable Union Hitherto the
exhibitions of spirit and resolution manifested here
! have been on the side OF the Union. Dsunion
is so unnatural that it must reveal itself in its bad
proportions before it be appreciated He liked bes;
the courage Of openuess and if it right to forgive
seventy times seven, it duty TO hear with the
waywardness of political opponents with .Se allow

IL was eaaier to say what could not than what eoulo
preserve the Union. Eulogiums the Senator from
North Carolina had said could not preserve this Union
but eulogiums would contribute toward state of MIND
which might. Like truth, the Union gathers strength
from every attack.
The Union was not to be preserved by mutual recrim
