CONVERSATIONAL.

sES.rx-Wben our report closed yesterday,
the Senate had gone into executive session.
The doors having been reopenea, MI. b,tchn-
ridge moved to take up bis resolution. aavlsing
the President to remove from the Confeoefae
States the Federal troops now stationed there
He should regard the vote upon that resolution as
a test vote of the Republicans
MIR Rice would accept the resolution OF the
Senator from Kentucky, but should hesitate as to
the substitute of the Senator from North Carolina
He did not see what right the Senate had TO ad-
wise the President in reference to the collection Of
the revenue under existing laws.
Mr. Wade hoped the resolution Of the Senator
from Kentucky would be taken up, and that they
should take a square vote upon 1t. He did not
know what the policy Of the Government was or
would be, but he could tell what II ought to be,
and would like an opportunity to do So:
to advise the President in regard to matters
which involve the execution OF existing laws
II Is for him to act In such cases for himself
Willis; up he would inquire Of the Senator from
Kentucky mir. Breckinridge) II his resolution
extends to the islands TO the south Of the main
| land in the Gulf States: IL 1t includes those
islands he [Mr: R).w would never advise Inc WIN,
the Tortugas are not within the limits OF the
Confederated States, and in no respect belong 70
| them. They are the property Of this Union, and
| will be kept and defended by this Union at all
| hazards.
Mr.. Breckenridge said that his resolution SIM
| ply asked for the withdrawal Of the troops from
/ the limits of the Confederate States He supposed
/ that those limits include the Tortugas and Key
West, because Tortugas and Key West are In
| Florida. But IL any Senator chooses to amend
| the resolution he (Mr b had offered SO as to ex
clude those places from Its operation, that would
| be a subject for grave consideration and DELHI
| crate discussion. He (Mr. b y did not consider
the inclusion Of those places in the objects Of the
resolution essential to the public peace at thi
| time, and would be willing to see those fort
| exc .pted from the scope of the resolution HI
| hoped vet to see a reunion and all the State
| back again, but that could no; be until all tn
| troops had been removed from the seeded States
He hoped there would be a new Union founded
| on the old principles of the Constitution. Eu
If an ultimate separation should take place, b
hoped the United States would not copy the pol
lev Of Great Britain and hold places as strategi
| points-like Gibraltar, for instance. He woul'
agree to except the forts at Key West and Tor
| tugas.
