THIRTY-EIGHTH CONGRESS
FIRST SESSION.
MONDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1868.
IN SENATE.

This day being the day fixed by the Constitu
ton of the United States for the meeting of Con
gress, the Capitol was crowded by throngs Of spec
tators at an early hour The galleries and lobbiel
of the two Houses were filed to OVERLOOKING
In the SENATE the credentials Of Messrs Van
Wrinkle and Wiley, elected as members from the
State of West Virginia, were presented by Mr.
Collamer The credentials of Mr.. CONFESS, elected
Senator from the State of California, present
ed, and he appeared, was qualified, and took his
seat The credentials of Mr. Henderson, reelected
Senator from the State of Missouri, were pre-
sented, and he appeared and was qualified.
Mr. DAVIS r,ised question as to the propriety
of administering the oath to the Senators elect
from West Virginia He doubted whether they
were legally and consttutionay Senators. There
was no such State as that of West Virginia, and
consequently there could be no Senators from such
State. The question was, simply, whether the
Senate should recognise the State of West Virgi-
MIA as State of the United States. There was
but one State of Virginia, legally and constitution
ally He did not believe the Old Dominion could,
polypus-lke, be divided into several living frag-
ments New States could be admitted in confor-
nifty with the Constitution, but in this case the
proceeding was in his opinion, in direct violation
of the Constitution. He moved to lay the matter
on the table.
After some conversation as to the proper and
usual mode of reaching the object, which was de-
csion of the Senate upon the admission of the Sc
majors, in which the President and Messrs Davis,
Collamer, Foote, Hale, Fessenden, and others took
part, the motion of Mr.. Davis was varied SO to
present the question directly upon the right of the
Senators elect to be qualified.
On the proposition in this form Mr. Davis called
for the yeas and nays, and there appeared, on a
call of the roll, yeas SO, nays S, to witt Messrs.
Buckalew, Davis, Henderson, McDougall, and
Powell.
The Senators elect from the State of West Vir-
GINA were then qualified and took their seats.
Mr. Sherman submitted resolution that the
Committee on the Judiciary inquire and report
whether Robert Wilson, of Missouri, is still men,
Der of this body.
Mr. lane, of Indiana, gave notice of bills to re-
peal the three-hundred dollar clause in the enrol
lment act, and to increase the pay of officers and
officers of the army fifty per cent.
committee was appointed as usual, to wait on
the President, in conjunction with any committee
of the House, and inform him that the two Houses
are organized and ready to proceed to business.
The Senate then adjourned.

THE CONSERVATIVE PLATFORM.

| II is known to our readers that during the SEES
sons of the last Congress, its members, represent
ing different political views with regard to the
spirit and manner in which the pending war should
be prosecuted, were in the habit OF meeting from
time to time for the purpose of taking counsel with
each other, and determining the line OF conduct
they should pursue. These meetings were heid
alike by the Republicans" and by the Demo
cratic" and "Union" members OF the House OF
Representatives-the results of their deliberations
being severally announced at the time in series
of resolutions which published IN our columns.
A friend who, as member of the last Congress,
actively participated in the deliberations held by
the " Conservative" members of that body on the
2Sth of last June, has requested us to reproduce
for the information of our readers the resolutions
adopted on that occasion. We accordingly reprint
to-day the entire series. 1t is known that the late
Mr.. Crittenden was the chairman of that meeting,
and we may add that these resolutions were from
the pen of that eminent statesman, who, as the
author of the well known resolution, adopted with
such unanmity by both Houses, defining the OBJ
ject of the war, properly selected to ndte the
declarations which purport to have been conceived
and adopted in explanation and reafhrmatlon OF
that resolution
In republishing these resolutions it can hardly
be necessary for us to inform our readers that we
concurred in their general purport at the time
they were first promulgated, and, greatly as we re-
greet that the mutations of public opinion and the
drift of events have combined to divide the loyal
sentiment of the country which was once unite
in its adhesion to the "Crittenden Resolution"
we can only repeat, in retrospect of the past and
in prospect of the future, that according to our
impressions, all the real or seeming departures from
the spirit and letter of that resolution have re-
suited in damage to the national cause We know
there are others, for whose intelligence and candor
we have the highest respect, who do not concur
with us in this view, and as we ask for our own
opinions the federation due to the sincerity with
which they are held, SO we cheerfully concede to
all that liberty which independent and honest
thought may rightfuy claim when exercised upon
topics that forbid indifference by their tremendous
issues, and which perhaps exclude the hope OF
unanimity by the difficulty and complexity of the
subjects involved in this great discussion. No man
held his opinions with more tenacity than the ven
cradle statesman who was the author of these reso.
lutions, and yet none more constantly exempllhed
in his words and conduct that concilistory de-
meanor which is at once the offspring of charity
and the bond of patriotism

About one O'Clock, Samuel Hamill, who
had been upon The stand, and saw there
was no opportunity for bin to speak,
determined TO organize a meeting in an
other part Of the park. He accordingly
mounted a box, and commenced by say
ing that he was a genuine Butternut, aud
proceeded TO speak Of the condition OF
the country, saying that we have revo-

a revolutionary Government at Washing

of the people by the Washington as the
