Mr.. KEYS resolution for National Con-
'ention, pending asrecess, was taken from the
nble.
Mr.. HARSH saddle did pos know when he
had been so much At q loss 10 know what was
his duty to bis country While he iully ac-
knowledged this whole subject belonged 20 the |
people as the rightful sovereigns Of the nations
he could not Jet satisfy himself that the people
desire the calling Of thic convention, but rather
IL was the politiciana who wanted it, with the
hopes Of getting some political advantage.
Mr.. HARSH said he was satisfied with the
Constitution as 1t is, and believed bis constit-
uents were satisfied with it.. He did not under
stand Mr.. Lincoln to recommend the calling OF
o convention-but rather, In case any amend
ments were to be made to the present Constitu-
ton, tbsy should originate with the people
In voting against this resolution, he did not
mean to be understood as opposing the admin
istsstion, nes was he unfriendiy TO AM, adjust
ment for pence. He was 10 favor of the Union,
and friendly relations with every section, but not
believing any good results would follow from
such convention, II called, but the reverse, his
judgment was unlavorable TO the resolution.
Sincerely horiDg that whatever was done would
result in cementing Ia bonds Of affection and
interests this now distracted country, he was
yet constrained 10 vote against the PROPOSE

Mr.. PARISH replied to the argument of
Mr.. Monroe, taking the general ground that the
whole tendency of compromises and amend
ments TO the Constitution Is against the rights
and interests of freedom, and designed 10 pro-
mote slavery. All the various propositions made
pending the present crisis look to concessions to
slavery. and nothing else Is to be expected from
a National Convention for amendment of the
Constitution. -, y, Z. s.,if sti slBod, ~
/ Mr. MCCALL would vote for the resolution.
| If he had read the news of the day, some of the
political friends of the Senator from Erie have
not been friendly to the Consti tuition This was
one OF the difficulties under which we are now
laboring. They had objected 10 Judicial decis.
ions upon the Constitution. Now, why not have
convention to amend the Constitution, 30 that
we may settle this question definitely. The
differences between the sections of the country
seem to require conference upon them, and
where no evil can be done, much good may be
accomplished by convention. For the Southern
i States who have already seeded, there is ne
cessity that convention should be held In Or
der to let them 90, because an involuntary union
