TUESDAY, March 20.


SESArE.-Wm. Hickey, the newly-appointed
Secretary Of the Senate was sworn In. and entered
upon his duties.
The Senate then took up the resolution instruct
ing the Secretary Of the Senate to purchase, for
the use Of Senator'S, number Of copies Of the An
mails of Congress.
After some discussion, on motion by Mr. Bing-
ham, the consideration of the resolution was post
poned till tomorrow.
The Senate then took up the Douglas resolu-
ton, and Mr.. Breckenridge proceeded to address
that body. He had some doubts at first with re-
gard to voting for the resolution, but being de-
sirous Of learning the policy of the Adm inistra-
ton, he had concluded to sustain It.
He could not see where or in what particular
the republican party had abandoned the Princi-
pies OF the Chicago platform. The extreme
Southern States had not discovered 1t, the border
States had failed to secure any compromise, and
even the party itself could not tell wherein they
had sacrificed the least of their principles.
Mr.. Breckenridge then reviewed the action OF
the republican party upon the organization Of the
Territories of Dacotah and Nevada, and was speak
ing at the close Of our report.
