SENATE After our report closed Yesterday
The Senate passed few private bills; and ad-
journed till Monday.
HorsE-After the close Of our report
Mr.. Nelson having the floor, said that the two
great causes which lay at the foundation Of their
difficulties, and prevented q calm consideration
Of them, were the pride Of opinion and party
spirit. He thought the most important resolution
that had been submitted to Congress was that
which proposed the restoration Of the Missouri
compromise line. He commended that the South
bad just fears and approximations Of danger from
the North. In recommending the adoption Of the
Crittenden resolutions he did not pat them for
ward an ultimatum, but a basis Of settle
ment. He did not believe that the N orth desired
to abolish slavery In the South; and he looked
upon the conduct of South Carolina az an insult
to Tennessee, because the people Of South Caro-
lima entertained the idea that Tennessee must fol-
low her in the secession movement. The despot
Ism of military power was already beginning TO
be felt In South Carolina and men now dare not
speak as freemen should speak. Tennessee would
beware of disunion, believing that the time for
peaceable action on the part or the North was
come. IL a compromise was effected their differ
ence and sectional strife would all pass away and
the people would return to the enjoyment Of those
blessings under which they had hitherto pres
pered.
The House was then addressed by Messrs.
Leake, Of Va, and Pottle, Of N. Y.
After which the House adjourned.

TIE BosToS MONSTER PETIIioS.-In the late
Presidential election Boston gave nineteen thou
sand votes. and the petition sent hither yesterday
by the hands Of Messrs. Everett, Winthrop, Law
renee, and other distinguished men Of that city,
is signed by fourteen thousand Of her nineteen
thousand voters, all Of whom appended their
names to IL In the brief space Of two days. This
monster petition breathes but the spirit Of peace,
concession and fraternity from the North to the
south In the face Of such facts It is, that the now
almost frantic disunionists per 50 are endeav-
oring to make the people Of Virginia, Tennessee,
missouri, Arkansas and North Carolina (ali OF
which states are soon to elect delegates to Con-
veations that are to decide their future status
whether they shall remain In or essay to go out OF
the Union-) believe that there remains no hone
that the North will consent to any other arbitra-
ment Of the current sectional difficulty but that OF
the sword

spin, Of the nlsrninx Prets


The Int.Iligsnesr argues that II Virginia were
to secede, instead of keeping peace between the
two sections Of the country, aud preserving the
hope of reconstructing a Union already dis
solved - az is held forth by her representatives. in
Congress, such an act would be the precursor Of
civil war, growing out OF border feuds, and with
no basis Of mediation between them; the charm
would become more incursble and intractaole as
Ii grew wider.
The Constitutions, In an assault upon Gen. Scott,
lets of the following -
"He Is soldier, and nothing else. Ignorant
Of statesmanship, but with an inordinate vanity
that aspires to universal genius marting under
the rebuff administered by the South when he
sought Presidential donors but couldn't get them
and glad of an opportunity which departmental
treachery and imbecility have afforded him; to
WELD supreme authority on the side of the black
republicans-he Is now striving TO subvert the
fundamental principle Of popular government,
and To lay the foundations of Mr.. Lincolns Presi-
Dental term deep in military power"
The Republicans urges the necessity Of concilia-
ton upon the part OF the North, and thinks that
Congress should fix upon some compromise at
once. These concessions, however, should not
sacrifice the principles of republication, but they
should be Of such nature as would satisfy the
South OF their conservatism.

THE VIRGINIA CONGRESSIONAL DIsuNIoN MANI
FEsTo.-How desperate the cause Of disunion per
Sc 10 rapidly becoming In Virginia, may be gath
cred from the tenor Of the manifesto to the people
Of that State signed by ten Of her members of
Congress, appearing in the Washington papers
this morning. 4. Is neither more nor less than an
effort to induce Virginia to put herself under
South Cardinals guardianship, on the ground
that all hope Of securing her rights from the
North, except by placing herself under govern
ment different from that under which the North
exists, has fed. The paper in question is so
plainly and palpably nothing but mere cleo
pioneering appeal in cause SO bad as not to be
sustainable lin the judgment Of the signeD) BY
open and ingenious argument, that the game Of
exposing its drift is hardly worth the candle.
However, we may mention that on its appear
snce in Richmond, distinguished member Of
the Virginia Legislature mistrusting the judgment
in the premises Of the ten advocates Of the imme-
diate Withdrawal Of Virginia from the Union,
promptly communicated with Messrs. John
Crittenden, Stephen A Douglas, Jno. NJ. Millson,
Alex r. Boteler and J. Nj Harris on the subject
These distinguished public men, whose oppor-
tunities Of knowing what the prospect for bar
monious settlement Ct the trouble are are at least
as good, II not much better than those Of the ten
signers, in response to the inquiry above referred
to have united in a letter giving assurances that
At no period since Congress assembled has the
prospect Of satisfactory settlement in the Union
been as bright as at this time.
Theif joint letter will doubtless soon be pub
hshed and its publication will at once counteract
all the mischief 70 the cause of the Union involved
In the policy to subserve which the ten-signed
manifesto was evidently gotten up and pro-
mulged.
The friends Of the Union in Virginia, as else
where, will doubtless be content to have the pub
lie weigh the testimony of Messrs. Crittenden,
Douglas, Millson, Boteler, and Harris in this con-
nection, against that Of any ten In Congress who
have Identified themselves with the cause Of dis
nnlon per SCI more especially when it has been
drawn forth, as In this case, fitting ofsett to
an effort to prevent satisfactory settlement of the
trouble with Virginia in the Union, so glaring as
that he who tails to comprehend that such is It's
intent, must be mentally blind, indeed.
