The question was on the amendment of Mr, Edmunds to that offered by Mr. Brown. Mr Wade hoped the Senate would vote it down, being substantially the same as that yoted down last evening. Mr. Sumner thought it better to have this amendment out of the way, so as not to complicate the matter, and that it would be better to take the question on Mr. Brown's amendment. The subject ied toa general discussion, which lasted for some time.

The press was fully represented by delega- tious from the city papers here and corres- =" of the prominent journals North and South, About § o’clock the guests filed into the large dining-room of the hotel, which was hand- somely draped with the national colors, and seated themselves at the tables. In addition to the long dining table there were a number of side tables. sufficient for the aceommodation of the entire number present. The tables were handsomely decorated, and the banquet was of a character to keep the company busy with their knives and forks foran hour or more. During its progress the Presidentof the United States entered the room, when all rose to their feet, and greeted him with deafening applause, which lasted some time after he had been eonducted to his seat. The toasts were read by Col. Flerence. The first_The day we celebrate, and the great event which fas made it a cherished na- tional anniversary”—was responded to by Hon. F. P. Blair, who first read a scrap of his- tory.in review of the cause, consequences, and results of the war of 1812, and then pro- ceeded to discuss the later ambitions designs of the French Emperor, concluding as fol- ‘he victories of Grant in the South extinguished all the visions of glory with which he was fiattered.

The order was given sbortiy after the arrival of a courier from Monterey yesterday. No newspapers or letters have been received from there; every- thing has been stopped, and it is therefore posed that the pews must be important and against Juarez.

Hon. Montgomery Blair rose and said :—I breakin upon the regular order of the proceedings to announce that I am delegated by the committee of arrange- ments to propose the health of the President of the United States. The toast was drunk amid great and prolonged cheers. The President responded as follows :—“Gen- temen: It is not my purpose in rising to make an address on this occasion, and 1 shall try, at this opportunity at least, if 1 have not, or can- Rot, in others, to imitate the example that has been set by the distinguished and illustrious man that has been alluded to here to-night by the chairman of this meeting. to respond to the demonstration you have made this evening by merely proposing a sentiment: “No State of its own will has the right. un- der the Constitution, to renounce its piace in. or to withdraw ‘fromr the Unton. [Cheers.) Nor has the Congress of the United States, under the Constitution, the power to degrade the people of any State by reducing them to the condition of @ mere territorial dependency upon the Federal head. The one is a disrap- tion and dissolution of the Government; tue other consolidation and the exercise of des- potic power. The advocates of either are alike the enemies of the Union and of our Federal form of Government.” [Great applause.) Mr. Florence read the third regular toast: — “The Federal Union, it must be preserved,” which was responded to by Senator Hendricks, of Indiana, who sgid the noble senument of Andrew Jackson is good to be expressed on the anniv of his | Sevag military achievement Thrice in his history did heaid 12 Riverine that Union.
