oIution snd the Cosey Invasion.
WASHINGTON. April 2e,-The resolutions
offered yesterday by Mr.. Allen Pop. Neb.L as
sertinR the right OF persons visiting Washing
ton to assemble poscesbly and petition for re-
dress Of grievances. was laid before the Senate
to-day.
Mr.. Vest Dsm.. MOI deprecated the intro
duotion OF resolutions on that subject. II
seemed to him that the persons referred to
had been treated like all other persona /:
they observed the laws they would be. as 9
matter OF course. not molested by the national.
State. or municipal authorities; and II they
violated the laws they ought to be punished.
He regretted that any one should think there
was any necessity for either branch OF Con-
grees TO declare the fundamental truths that
were contained In the body OF the resolution. II
intimated o want OF confidence In American In
stitutions and tho execution OF law which was
much to be dsplored. II his constituents came
to the capital and violated the law he should
expect them to be punished. That they had a
right to come was so plain and unquestioned
that any suppositlon in regard to It was a re-
Election on the intelligence and patriotism OF
the people OF tho whole country. There was q
statement in the preamble. "unarmed. law
abiding. and peacefully disposed. but unem-
ployed citizens OF the United States" II tho
Senator (Mr. Allenl meant by that to include
the men who had trampled on the law and
seized private property and undertaken to se-
cure Transportation to Washington by force
