THIRTY-FIRST CONGRESS,
FIRST SESSION.
Tcksdat, March 26.
In the Senate, Mr Clemens presented a
petition praying'that the blessings of slave
ry might be extended over the whole Un
ion. Mr Foote moved to take up the bill re
ported yesterday by the committee on Ter-
ritories, providing Territorial Governments
for Lftali and New Mexico, for the purpose
of making it the special order of the day
for Friday next.
Mr Hf'ntnn nlnr(fl tn the motion, and
gave notice that the friend of Calilornia
had been wronjreti, ami should be admitted
into the Union at once. He as in favor
of admitting her instantly, and would al
low no business to take priority of the bill
Imisaion.
Mr Foote said he felt glad Mr Benton
l.ad entered the lists; welcome him heart
ily; said that Senator's sudden enthusiasm
could be easily accounted for; thought his
designs too palpable to be misconceived;
bat begged to remind him that he could not
over-awe anybody by blustering. If Cali
fornia had suffered for the want of a Gov
ernment, whose fault was it? The Sena
tor from Missouri, aid Mr F., has oppos
ed every measure proposed in that body
for the relief of the people of California,
and he did not think the people of that new
.State thanked the Senator over much for
his friendship. That Senator, said Mr F.,
calls on the friends of California! Now
he would like to know who her enemies
were? It would be a calumny to charge
any Senator on that floor with being hos
tile to California. Two years ago, as well
as at the last session, the Senator from
Missouri opposed every measure calculated
to afford protection to the people of Cali
lornia. Vholesome laws for the Govern
ment of this people, encountered that Sen
ator's onnositon. .out he is now the ar
dent and uncompromising friend ol Califor
nia! And whv? Because the eoole of
California have sent a certain person here
as Senator, whom the Senator from Mis
souri wanted to sec on that floor, ami who,
that Senator had every reason to believe,
would aid and support him. The Sena
tor's friendship for California had a strong
personal caste. Mr F. then pointed out
the advantages likely to follow the settle
ment of the Territorial questions first,
fie regarded the Territorial Bill as cover
ing the whole ground in dispute. That
California was to be admitted this session,
Ue conceived to be a well ascertained fact.
Let us, then, said Mr F. , pass upon the
territorial bill first : as soon as the ques
tions in controversy embraced in that bill
had been disposed of, all parties could vote
lor the admission of California
Mr Benton said he considered as the
friends of California, those Senators w ho
were prepared to vote at once for her ad-
mission into the Union, without remanding
her back to a territorial condition, and who
was temporarily occupied by Mr Win
throp at the request of the Speaker,) and
made a statement fully justifying the course
adopted in relation to Mr Preston King a
resolution. He challenged investigation
into his conduct. t .
A !onS discussion followed, lhc sobject
was finally disposed of, however, by reter

M-ntlemen constitute the committee, viz:

was taken up and passed.
A very proper resolution, we think. -Mr
Baldwin of Connecticut, then addressed
the Senate at length on the old subject.
Mr Badger then moved that the Senate adjourn
over till Monday, as to-morrow was Good Friday,
a day celebrated by a large portion of the chris
tian orld.
Mr Foote objected, because there was impor
tant business to be transacted; but the motion
prevailed, 2V to 10.

Mr Ashmun obtained the floor, when the , called the attention of the House to the fact that
committee rose and the House adjourned. I the expenditures of the government, under the
head of pensions, were getting to be enormous in
amount. Last year they exceeded the amount
appropriated for pensions $500,000. . r
The old question of slavery was then resumed,
in committee of the whole, and Mr Averett, de
mocrat of Virginia, blew off his steam on the
subject. Mr Chandler, whig, of Philadelphia,
followed on the opposite side, and the House ad-

In the Senate, after petitions, Mr Ben
ton rose and asked to be excused from
serving on the committee ol foreign rela
tions Mr Benton called attention to the re
port, in the National Intelligencer, of the
altercation between him and the Senator i journed
from Mississippi, (Mr Foote). His own
remarks were correct the remarks of the
Senator incorrect. The report of the Sen
ator was a lying report a lie from begin
ing to end. It was not periiamentary to
alter words used in personal altercations.
The reporters brought their notes to him,
and he refused to look at them.
The allegation of the Senator that he
(Mr W.J had openly disavowed obligations
to the laws of honor, was utterly false.
He made no such disavowal. If the Sen-

ator chose, he would briny; that matter
a test. He would like to know how long
language was to be tolerated here that was
worse than the vocabulary of the Five-
Points language that would disgrace a
brothel.
1 claim no privilege, safU Mr B. of in
sulting any one. I never have done it. I
bear w ith' insult a long time. But if I
notice it at all, one party or the other shall
not stay here. If the Senate will not pro
tect me I will protect myself cost what
it may. Here is the newspaper report of
the Senator's speech. I brand it with
falsehood, and I will prove the falsehood
any where, at any time. A newspaper
cant call me to order. I brand this report
as a falsehood. Henceforth I will protect
myself.
Mr Foote said he must be allowed to de
fend himself from this indecent attack,
which was made on a newspaper. He
courted no hostility. He was a plain man,
and spoke plainly. This report the same
in both papers was said to be false. The
reporters were as accurate as reporters
Could be. He was in the habit of writing
out speeches from the reporter's notes.
The Senator had always followed the same

admission. He said he believed he w as in to him. He admitted that there might be
the American Senate, where he also be
bviieved personalties and imputations upon
.motives were prohibited by the rules gov
crninir the Senate, as well as by laws of
decorum. He knew that the attack made
upon his motives and hi9 course to-day,
was false anil cowardly
Mr Foote interrupted the Senator from
Missouri by remarking, that that Senator
proved himself inconsistent in lecturing
upon rules of decorum, and deprecating
the introduction of personalities; he had
commenced it, by imputing to him (Mr F. )
unworthy and grossly erroneous motives
for making the motion he had made. The
Senator from Missouri had insinuated that
the enemies of California Were at work, and
it is therefore become necessary that he
the Caesar, the Napoleon, the Jupiter Ton
ans should take up arms in her defence,
'hy had the Senator made a violent at
tack upon his (Mr F.'s) motives? He
said he would not apply the term coward
ly" to the Senator, though that honorable
gentleman had thought proper to use it in
connexion with his course; he would
let the early history of the. honorable Sena
tor speaks for itself. When he f.Mr Ben
ton) cleansed the dark stains now resting
upon his character when he explained
why his knees trembled, his cheeks paled
and his frame shivered, when a disclosure
w as made of a damning deeil perpetrated
by him when he cleared oft" all this, and
announced himself ready to meet the res
ponsibility as an honorable man, then he
should hear from him (M. F-) At present,
said Mr F., the Senator from Missouri
stands shielded by his established coward
ice. Air Benton said it was playing the part
of a coward to give insults in a place where
they could not be chastized; it was coward
ly to use language in a place where the
blackguard who used it could not be
promptly punished ! Had it come to this,
said Mr B., that a man could use language
in the Senate ol the United States which
would disgrace an oyster cellar or a road
side tavern? and which, if used in either
of the latter places, would ssbject the
blackguard who used it, to a cudgelling
out of the premises? Was the Senate of
the United States, asked Mr B. to be a
place where vulgarity and insolenc were
to be protected?
Mr Dickson moved to lay the motion of
Mr Foote unou the table which wa
to.
Mr Chase thin took the floor and snoke
till 4 o'clock against the institution of
slavery, and in favor of the pow ers of Con
gress over the subject in the District of Co
lumbia, as well as in the Territories. He
had not concluded when he gave way to
a motion for the adjournment.

agreed to. A number of other motions, to the
same effect, were made at intervals, without be
ing carried.
Mr Preston King having some days previously
charged the Speaker with mutilating t!te Journal
by altering one of his resolutions, a committee
l,ad I.PPn unnointod to investigate the matter,
and that committee now reported.
The charge of Mr King was that he had made
a motion to close the debate on the " California
bill," but that the Speaker had ordered those
two words to be erased, and the word "message"
substituted. The committee reported that there
was a misunderstanding on the part of both the
Speaker and Mr King in regard to the motion,
arid that the Speaker did right in doing what he
did do. This report was received unanimously.
The whole affair, like the man (Preston King)
that started it, was not worth powder to blow it
up. The House then adjourned.
JIonbay, April 1.
The Senate met, and Mr Butler of S. C., pro
nounced the Eulogy upon Mr Calhoun. He was
followed in similar remarks by Messrs Webster,
Clay, Rusk and Clemens, and the Senate, after
appointing a committee to superintend the
funeral, adjourned.
In the House, the eulogy vas pronounced by
Hon. Iscac E. Holmes of Charleston, followed by
Mr Winthrop of Mass.. and Mr Venable of N. C,

agreed
some slight ditlerence some omissions or
changes of words.
He had alluded yesterday to an affair of
honor between the Senator anil a Senator
from S. Carolina. It was stated to me
that it was an improper allusion and I ad
mitted it and therefore left out that mat
ter. One other very harsh remark 1 made,
on some stories resting on the Senator's
character in early life and that I omit
ted. But, if insisted on, I can give the
reporter's notes.
His remarks were as biief, as spoken, as
they were written. If any thing past was
omitted", he now repeated it. He was
done w ith the quarrel here. He had said
all that he wished to say. He had spoken
his sentiments of the Senator very often
and once in a published letter. What
could he do more. He was willing, as he
said yesterday, to call the Senator to pro
per punishment, if he made no claim to
any priviledge. He wished to know
whether the Senator considered himself
responsible to the law ot honor. I own
myself so responsible. If he is, let him
avow it, and at a proper time, &c, the mat
ter can be settled.
Mr Benton sneered, and so the matter
dropped.
The California message was taken up,
and Mr Chase concluded his speech in fa
vor of the admission of California and of
the Wilmot Proviso.
Mr Foot's resolution wa taken up, and
postponed till one o'clock to-morrow.
The Senate went into Executive session
for a few minutes and adjourned.
In the House, Mr Winthrop took the
Chairand called the House to order.
On motion by Mr. Holmes, leave was
granted to the committee appointed to in
vetigate the charges against the Hon.
Speaker Cobb.to sit during the sitting of
the House.
The House resolved itself into commit
tee of the whole on the state of tiie Union,
(Mr Boyd in the chair) and resumed the
consideration of the bill to admit Califor
nia as a State into the Union, and the spe
cial message of the President upon the sub
ject. Mr Ashmun, who was entitled to the
floor, addressed the committee for an
hour.
Mr Averett, of Vt. next obtained the
floor and spoke an hour.
The committee then rose, when
The Speaker laid before the House a
message from the President of the United
States transmitting the report of Thomas
Butler Kin;, the special agent to Califor
nia, upon the condition and character of
that country.
The report was ordered to be printed,
also a motion to print 20,000 copies extra
was referred to the committee on printing.
Thursd.t, March 23.
In the Senate, after the presentation of the
usual number of slavery and other petitions, an
effort was made to change the mode of accom
plishing the printing for Congress, but no action
was taken. v v

OBSEQUIES OF MR CALTIOUN.
Tuesday, April 2. .
In Congress the day was devoted to the. funeral
obsequies of Mr Calhoun. The Senate was called
to order at 12 o'clock, but long before that hour
the galleries and every other portion of the
Chamber to which visitors could obtain access,
were densely crowded, and hundreds were un
able to obtain admission. At ten minutes past
iO o'clock, the member.- of the House of lxepre
seutatives, preceded by their officers, entered
the Senate chamber, and took the seats assigned
to them. The Judges of the Supreme Court, and
the President and his Cabinet soon afterwards
entered, those in the chamber rising to receive
them. The President was conducted to a seat
on the right of the Vice President. The Diplo
matic corps, which was largely represented,
occupied seats near the centre of the Chamber.
A large number of the officers of the Army and
Navy, and other distinguished men, occupied the
sofas in the lobbies. At 20 minutes after 12 the
coffin containing the remains of the deceased
was brought into the chamber, in charge of the
committee of arrangements, and followed by the
relatives, the South Carolina delegation in the
House of Representatives, and Messrs. James
Gadsden, Thomas Gadsden, John Russell. E. C.
Jone, William Patton, John E. Carew, Edwin
de Leon, E. B. White, Lewis Griffin, C. J. Ker
shaw, and Midshipman Whaley, as mourners.
The corpse was placed immediately in front of
the Vice President, and after the performance of
the Episcopal funeral service the Rev. C. M.
Butler, the Chaplain of the Senate, preached the
funeral sermon, having taken his text from the
7th verse of the S7th Psalm. The procession
was then formed Senators Mangum, Clay, Web
ster, Cass, King and Berrien officiating as pall
bearers. There were upwards of two hundred
carriages in the line of the procession, which
moved to the Congressional Burial Ground,
where the remains were deposited to await their
removal to South Carolina.
The public offices were all closed, and draped
in mourning, and every mark of respect was
shown to the memory of the illustrious deceased.

SOUTHERN CONVENTION MEETING.
The proceedings of the meeting held
here on the 23d ult., in favor of the
Nashville Convention, are before the read
er. The meeting was respectable in num
bers and character, and displayed at its
close a degree of enthusiasm in favor of
the object. The question of the present
propriety of the convention, however, was
contested in a debate, which occupied the
whole afternoon. The discussion was
ably conducted, by Col. S. Spencer. J.
McR. Baker, Felix Levingston, and
James M. Daniel, Ksqs., in the affirmative,
and by Col. I. D. Hart, James XV. Brvaut,
G. if. Smith, Esq., and Capt. Moses
Curry, in the negative. There was but
one sentiment in the debate as to the jus
tice of demanding of the North a compli
ance with the stipulations ot the Constitu
tion, and a concession of equal5 rights un
der it, the point of difference being only
as to the necessity of urging a Southern
Convention now, when resistance had been
spoken by the Southern State Legislatures,
and a more conciliatory spirit begins to
manifest itself at the North.
