Senatorial Proceedings.

WASHINGTON, March 6.-Mr. Dixon moved that
the usual number of copies of the Inaugural Ad-
dress be printed.
Mr.. Clingman said that although he would vote
for the proposition he could not endorse the address
Its sentiments he believed would inevitably lead to
war. 1t was war document 1t was hostile to all
peace.
Mr.. Douglas considered the Inaugural as emin-
emily peaceful in its character He believed that
the administration would be marked by conservatism
and peacefulness The South has nothing to fear
from a President whose inaugural was so eoncilia-
tory and mild under such peculiar difficulties He
could not see how the President could carry out
portion of the law and neglect another. He did not
understand how he could collect the revenue in one
port and pass by another. co..
Mr.. Clingnan rejeined and then Mr.. Wigfall OBJ
tanned the floor for tomorrow.
The Senate went into Executive session.

Slavery in the States.

The House of Representatives and Senate Of the
United States, before they adjourned, passed by
two-thirds vote proposed amendment to the Con-
stitution guaranteeing for all time to come slavery
in the States. The proposed amendment passed the
House by 1875 to 65, and the Senate by 81 to u.
The people of this County and State have been told
that the Republicans intended to abolish slavery in
the States and to reduce the whites to an equality
with the blacks; and about the time, or after
the people were thus told, the amendment referred
to was passed by Senate and House controlled by
the black Republicans The following is the joint
resolution, with Mr.. Corwins amendment:
BE it enacted by the Senate and House Of Rep
resentatiues of the United States Of america in
Congress assembled (t1eo-thirds Of both Houses
curring,) That the following article be proposed to
the Legislatures of the several States an amend
ment to the Constitution of the United States,
which, when ratified by three-fourths of said Legs-
atures shall be valid to all intents and purposes as
part of said Constitution viz:
Art. XII No amendent Of this Constitution, hav-
ing for its object any interference within the States
within the States with the relation between their
citizens and those described in section second of the
first article of the Constitution "all other per-
sons" shall originate with any State that does not
recognize that relation within its own limits, or
shall be valid without the assent of every one of the
States composing the Union"
Corwin's amendment:
"No amendment shall be made to the Constitution
which will authorize or give to Congress the power
to abolish interfere, within any State, with the
domestic institutions thereof including that of per-
sons held to labor or service by the laws of said
State" ~
1t has now to be sanctioned by three-fourths of
the State Legislatures when it will become clause
of the Constitution of the United States.

~ The nominal Editor of the State journal
calls attention to and endorses account of the late
Union celebration in this place by correspondent
who speaks Of those who were in the procession as
81 horde of tanaticaI hODlers" The correspon-
dent also calls on "ger.tLemen" of the Union party
to check these "fanatical howlers." This is just
like the oligarchy. They have no respect for the
people The great mass of the procession referred
to was composed of honest and intelligent laboring
men, and the olgarchs appeal to the 'gentLemen "
against these laboring men. When the oligarchs
find laborng man who will serve them they use him
and pet him, but soon as they are done with him
they cast him adr and longer think of or care for
him. When such men differ with them they call
them "fanatical howlers," and appeal to "gentte-
men to make these "howlers know their places
This is specimen of the rule which would be
established if these oligarchs and enemies of the
people could have their own way. We now tell
these exclusives, who are offended whenever an
honest working man happens to "come between the
wind and their nobility" that the people have the
power in this State and that it would be we'll for
them to understand and act accordingly. We are
not in South Carolina but in North Carolina, where
an honest working man is as much entitled to his
opinions, and just as good as the owner OF Bank
stock or of hundreds of negroes-aye, better by
far than the giddy-brained upstairs who would de-
prive them of freedom of action and of speech, and
many of whom, by the way, have never earned
dime for their own support. We repeat, the oil
garchs who are at the head of the disunion party,
do not care for the people any longer than they can
use them. They are very coed people as long as
they can lead or drive them through the agency of
cques, caucuses, and conventions out they become
at once very bad peoples set of "fanatical how
lers whenever they claim and exercise the right
of thinking and acting for themselves.

20" We learn that Mr.. Bell, of Tennessee, and
Mr.. Gimer, of this State, were offered seats in Mr..
Lincoln's Cabinet. Mr. Bell replied that under the
circumstances he could not accept unless the incom-
ing President would furnish him with written pro-
gramme Of his policy; that if this should be done,
and he should be thereby assured that no move
ments would be made by the President and Cabinet
inimcal to his section, and he should be also thus
assured that he would be able to act harmoniously
with the administration, he would accept place in
the Cabinet Aspecial programme was not furnish
ed, but he was referred to the Inaugural embody
ing the views of the President Mr.. Gilmer we
learn, made the same reply; but in both cases the
positions referred to at first declined, and the
terms as above given not required until they
were pressed second time. to consent to occupy
seats in the Cabinet.
We give the above rumor, bat we have no
doubt it may be relied as substantially correct

Judge Rumn.

We learn that Judge Rufin made profound i'm
pressionron the Peace Conference by his learning,
ability, firmness and patriotism. In the language
of friend who had opportunities Of observing and
Judging Of the value of his services in that body,
.'he was head and shoulders taller than any man
in the Conference"
Messrs Reid, Barringer and Davis differed with
Judge RuffR and Gov. Morehead on several sections
of the Franklin substitute and the vote OF the State
was cast accordingly. When the vote was thus cast
against the first section which relates to slavery in
the Territories, Judge Rufn rose to enter his lis
sent and that of Gov. Morehead to the vote of the
majority. He said among other things, that he had
taken his seat in that body with sincere desire to
establish justice and restore harmony between the
States; that he not only hoped that this would be
DONE but he would labor to accomplish it; that he
was older than the federal Constitution and Union,
and did not wish to survive them and that as he
had lived under them for more than seventy years,
and had enjoyed their protection and benefits he
desired to die and be buried under them, and to
transmit them as precious inheritance to coming
generations. These remarks were greeted with en-
thusiastic applause by the Northern commissioners,
and indeed by all who were anxious to settle exist
ing difficulties.
We do not propose to-day to discuss the Franklin
substitute. We may do so hereafter But we will
say this that for one we will accept it 1t gives to
the South quite as much was claimed by the last
Democratic State Convention of North Carolina, and
quite as much as was claimed by the Tennessee res
ouon in relation to slavery in the Territories; and
we will show this to be so by the record ITSELF if
necessary We will not go with Messrs. Barringer,
Reid and Davis in demands and movements which
will still further excite the public mind and still
further divide the Union, against the opinions and
views of such men as Rufin and Morehead.
Our only purpose at present is to refer to the i'm
preston produced by Judge Ruftin on the Peace
Conference, and to express our own wish and that
of all with whom we have conversed that be would
furnish his fellow citizens of the State by letter
otherwise full account of the action of that bo-
dy together with his views the various sections
of the Franklin substitute

Action Of the Confederate Congress-Desirss and
Plans OF the Leaders.


MONTGOMERY, March T. 1861.-The propositions
of the Washington Peace Congress will not even be
taken into consideration here; and in no event Will
the rule of Lincoln be submitted to.
The permanent Constitution of the ConfedeTaey
is now being elaborated in order to be submittedto
the Congress and to the States. am enabled, in
advance, to state some of its more important fea-
lures. 1t will provide that South of Kansas and Of
Utah slavery shall be established beyond the power
of Congress or of the Northern States to abol
ish it, or in any way interfere with the rights 1t
confers. .s
The idea which has prevailed to some extent in
South Carolina that only slave States be admt-
ed to the Confederacy, is repudiaed BY the control
ling men, and by the majority of the Congress. The
Constitution will provide for the admission Of free
States, of course with suitable guarantees.
Full powers will be given to the Congress to levy
duties on imports and exports. The tariff recently
enacted will Immediately be amended, and will pro-
badly be made to impose export duty of one per
cent. on cotton, tobacco and rice. The duties on
most imports will be fixed at ten per cent, and
these rates will be made to take effect January /,
1862.
