WASHINGTON, April &c AT the conclusion of
the morning business the presiding officer. Mr..

"Mr. President, shortly after the Senator
from Indiana Mr. Voorheesl began his speech,
yesterday, / was called from the Senate TO exam
inc and sign large number of enrolled bills for
transmission to the President had supposed
from the notice which he gave that his speech
was TO be devoted to the suject of the tariff and
finance. and was therefore somewhat surprised
this morning to be advised by an item
in the newspapers that have been
the object of the Senator's animadversions
A causual examination of his speech appears to
me to disclose certain omissions on his part with
regard TO the relations of the Democratic party
to the subject of pensions, TO the war for the
preservation of the Union, TO the reconstruction
of the Southern States. TO the solid South. to
the recent election in Louisiana, and to the
issues and results of the approaching campaign,
which appear to me to justify some observations
of mine in reply. therefore desire to give
notice that on Tuesday next. at p. NJ, if the
Senate will indulge me. will move to proceed
to the con sderatio of the resolution to refer
the Presidents message, for the purpose of en-
abing ma to submit some remarks thereon
