publicans had yielded nothing essential. and
asked the Republican Senators whether they
had.
Collamar replied, not that we are aware
of.
Douglas said kentucky bad justice and
equality in the territories according to the
test prescribed by Breckenridge, and that the
recent organization of territories was upon
the non-intervention plan. The Republicans
had abandoned the Wilmot proviso and Con
gressioDal interference, and repudlated the
Congressional prohibition of slavery.

The President has nominated George W.

iinridge moved to take up his resolution.
Rice favored it, but thought Cingman's
substitute went too far. He deemed it i'm
proper to advise the President on matters
devOlving by law on him. He asked Brock
nridge if his resolution extended to Key
West and Tortugas, if so he would never
withdraw the troops thence.
Breckenridge supposed his resolution en-
braced those points, but would except them
rather than hazard the defeat of the resolu-
ton. He did not consider the withdrawal
of troops from Key West and TOrtugas es-
sential to the public peace.
Rice said if the seeded States were de-
termiled to remain out of the Union, he
favored their going in peace; and would
give them the forts and arsenals for the
sake of peace; but they were not In posses
sion of Key West and Tortugas and never
will be. Northern commerce needs these
points, not they, and he would not give them
up under any circumstances.
Douglas said he was willing to give up
Forts Sumter and Pickens Wade desired
discussion. He said seven States were DOM
ineered over by usurpation of military des-
potism. and if they had power they would
invoke us to vindicate their rights. After
further debate the vote was taken, resulting
19 against 10. There being no quorum the
Senate adjourned till tomorrow.
