Washington, March 3.
This is ihc last day of (he session.
A Sunday sitting was proposed, hut
almost by acclamation. mln#?iori 'n>?

House did as well, on Saturday as
could be expected. They were sober
and orderly, and considerate eDCUih
to reject or rule out some extravagant
propositions. Radicalism
found no favor; but money taking pro
jects, however plausible, found even
less. The Navy appropriation bill
was passed?but all the new projects
for steam lines were defeated. 'I here
"Were propositions to break up all the
steam lines, but they bad few votes.
The Senate postage bill passed, but
with unimportant additional amendments,
wlucb remain to be confirmed
b-v the Senate.
The movement in the Senate, on
4&e subject 6f the river and harbor
bill, is one of the most ?xtm/j^'mary,
under all the civMiivie?o?,? '?
... v??idi(iucU3) 111 II1C
history of Congress. The combinations
in favor ot the bill arc somewhat
surprising. The nositions taken by j
Mr. Cass and Mr. Douglass, arc genreally
considered averse to the bill,!
because they go for amendments j
"that will insure its defeat. But not-j
withstanding that, there is a decided ,
majority in favor of the bill as it is. .
At the last moment of the )ate. sit- i
ting on Saturday night, after a contest
of twelve hours, it was left undetermined
whether the majority or tlie
minority would, in the end, prevail. !
Should the discussion be resumed
to-day in the same spirit, the result
will be very unfavorable to the regular
husiness of the session.
The last speech of Mr. Butler on
this subject, though vcrv brief, reach
ed all the points in question. No j
answer could be made to his objec- j
tions to the policy proposed, except
that which Pickens puts into the
mouth of the statesman?"it will .
last my time.*'
Air. Butler is not opposed, as 1 un- j
derstand him, to appropriations for
fioFne of the great channels of interior i
commerce?such as the river Missis- j
fiippi, but to a general system of in- j
tf?rnnl imnrnuntrtlnni? ? ?

intelligible, and dependent on combinations
in Congress of local interests
-?which is dictated by majorities,
irresponsible to Slate constituencies;
to such a plan as this bill is framed
uppn, he addressed his remarks. If
we begin now with two or three mil-.
lions, we must go on, and in a few I
years, four or five or ten millions will
be demanded, and enforced by the
earae combinations of lpcal interests.

Washington, March 4.
The Senate as soon as it met, yesterday,
resumed, -on motion cf Mr*
Clay, the consideration of the river
and harbor bill, by a vote of 30 to
24, though it was evident to all, that
the bill would occupy exclusively the
last day of the session. Mr. day
remarked that there was a decided
majority for the bill, but that he would

feat of all the other bills. Mr. Iiun-'
ter remarked that the majority of j
lhe Senate who were responsible for j
thejpublic business, should look to the
fact that they would, by persisting in
the consideration of this bill, render
necessary an extra session. Mr.
Fqote again called the attention of
the Senate to the fact that there were
tliree treaties to be considered in Executive
session. Several Senators in
the minority said that they vvrre prepared
to goon with amendments and
discussion. frinnrta r?f Kill

'and its opponents will lake another)'

Mr. Clay, the minority will bo found
to be made of as good stuffas the ma
jority. So the conflict was renewed,
and conducted with great spirit and
ingenuity on both sides.

Were votes taken on amendments
and on motions to lay- the bill on the
table, and to postpone. The suggestion
that Mr. Clay had thrown ont,
nt the opening of the sitting, in favor
of dropping this bill, as an alternative
(o the total loss of ^1 other appropriation
bills, was not followed
up by himself.
iP' r. Crss and Mr. Bradbury got
up t.n amendment to the effect that
oo part of themoney appropriated by
this bill? should be expended till it

This sccrned to he the crisis ol tin:

?ide of the bill, voted for this amendment,
and it was lost by a tie vote of
29 tom Hut it was ,iow understood
of course, that the success of the
Amendment would effectually defeat
the bill.
Alter fiix nV.tnnk. Mr. Soulo
<xl an arrendment, and in illustration
ofitrdWllfcd for the reading of a voluminous
fopOffranhieal report. Mr.
Phelps, *vho han often visited (he
Seiwrt? chamber of late, said that the

the termination of tb^stefesion, as now.

! on calmly- This was a scientific re!
port and very pleasing to the Senate
I and hy-standei'8. Mr. Phelps appealed
to the Senate to go 011 with
the business.
Mr. Mason moved that the river
1 and harbor hill be laid oh the table,
j lie made this motion in consequence
of the remarks of Mr. Ciay this morning.
Mr. Clay must now be con1
vinced that the minority would not
si.fi * this bill to be passed; and he
wisheu to give him an opportunity
to vote for laying aside ihe 1 ill. But
here a question of order arose, and
Mr. Clay, with sonic temper, called
upon the reporters to note tha^ne
hour of the precious time of titcECen
ate had boon wasted in reading this
i rortttrl Aft- ?
! J-J.I' ^tnv i OUII JU'clVIS, UIKICr
some excitement, animadverted upon ;
IVTr. Clay's attempt, at the head of a J
majority, to tvamp'sdown and brow-;
neat the minority. This was the
' great question that divided parties in ,
this country. If Ilic friends of the |
present administration would take
the responsibility of stopping tho ,
wheels of the government or of calling
an extra session, they were welcome
to it. If the Senate was ready
to drop the bill, which was of disputed
constitutionality, and proceed to
consider measures within ourloo-iii
mate power, he would yield the point
of order he had made on the suspension
of the reading of the report.?
Mr. Butler contended that the Senate
had no right to suspend the reading
of tie report, although the Senator
from Louisiana had deputed the
reading of the repoit to another.
Mr. Phelps apologized for interfering !
and said he would pledge himself {
never to try to save the time of the i
Senate again. Mr. Clay, in a few !
words, said that the question \\:?s
whether the majority for the minority
should govern this body, and whatcv
Cl' miurht be the. dnrixJon
M,r? vwu,,_ i
try, lie was willing to abide the issue, j
After all this episode/'Mr. Soule re- j
snmed and continued his remarks. |
The House has passed the bill es-i
'tahlishing a Board of Commissioners j
to adjust land titles in California; also j
a bill for converting a regiment of in-!
fantry into a mounted regiment.? j
The Lieutenant General bill failed. ;
Tiio joint resolution for sending a national
ship to bring to this country i
Kossuth and his comnanions w?s I
passed. Tlic bill granting lands to
the States for the benefit of the indigent
insane was one "I those that lailed.
The French spoliation bill failed
for the want of a two third vote to
take it up?the vote being yeas 104,
nays 75. Mr. Hunter's bill explaininglhe
tariff of 1845 and /"providing
for a board of appraisers at large
was passed.
At half nast nine, after an appeal
from Mr. 1 oarer4, of Md. both to the ,
maioritv and minnriiv nf <l>o <
to suspend the ['conflict, and permit,
the business of the Senate to l:e car- !
ried on to a conclusion, it was tho't
that the matter would be settled; but,
on Mr. Pearce'Sj, motion to lay the
bill 011 the table, the vote was yeas
23, nays 33. At half past ten, another
motion to lay the bill 011 the table
was lost, yeas 23, nays 35. It
was evident, as Mr. Pcarce remarked,
that the two parties had become
mutually exasperated, and that there
was no prospect that either would 1
yield. lie told them that the conn-1
try would hold both the maioritv and I
minority equally responsible for the |
loss^of the Appropriation Bills; the |
consequent embarrassment of the j
administration? and the expense an.;1, j
difficulty of calling an extra oession. |
i He saicf, too, that such a result would
! even lead to'doubt, as to the efficienI
cy of our system of government.?
! Mr. Clay subserviently said that he
was ready to make the issue upon
the question whether the majority or
minority should rule.
I 4 1k M.AJ Ki l i?iT. X/ilVIS) OI lViiSI
sissippi, made the question upon the
constitutional light of- the Senate to
transact any further business;
Mr. Cass said the Constitution required
that the session should terminate
on the third of March. There
was a difficulty on the ouestion when
third day of March ended. He had
on a previous occasion, given his
opinion that the day closed at l'i
! o'clock at night. A message was re!

their business and were ready to ad

I Mr. Davis, of Mississippi, made it
a question of privilege whether the
session had closed or not. He offered
a resolution that the second session
of the 31st Congress had expired.
A discussion following upon
this point.
At rinr* lfl
? messagn was received
from rhe President of the United
States, stating that, for grave and
weighty causes connected with executive
business, each Senator elected
was required to assemble in session
at 12 o'clock on the 4th day of March,
and that a notification would be sent
to each Senator. Mr. Dickinson
?aid he supposed the President would
send commissions also to those who
bad not received , A niotion

; to vote. Mr. Dawsoli moved, at 1
o'clock, that the llivei and Harbor

to take up the Appropriation

! who were not. Mr. Davis, of Massachusetts,
contended that the political
day ended en tlie 4th of March at
12 o'clock, meridian. Finally, it
was declared that the nolitieM day
! does not end till 12 o'clock to-morl
row. The motion to lay the billon
I the table was put and the result was
yeas 18, nays 20.
The conflict was resumed. Mr.
Sonic offered an amendment and declared
Ins purpose to use all proper
means to defeat a J3ill which was, he
: said, founded upon (he most unblushing
corruption that was ever practiced
under a free government. The
debate was sustained for some hours
on amendments. . The prospect was,
when this was closed, that the debate
would continue till 12yO'clock |
to-mOrrow, and, of course, all tho
most important Appropriation; Bills

select the following:
"Mr. Burt made a vigorous and
and successful effort to take up the j

for the protection of our

objection to the bill was, that there

"At a late.hour last night, in the

by M>jor Tochman. It
