CHIRTY-THIRD CONGRESS, BEOOND SESSION, Sonate. Wasmnatox, Feb. 23, 1355. THR ADJOURNMENT, A motion was made by Mr. Brown, (dem.) of Miss., that, the House concurring, the President of the Senate and Speaker of the House be requested to adjourn their respective branches of the National Legislature at 12 o'clock midnight, on Saturday, the 3d of March. Mr. Brown supported this on the ground of the im- moral éffect an encroachment upon Sunday would pro- duce, and upon the consideration that if the hour of adjournment be fixed beforehand logislative business would be finished by that hour. Mr. Stuart, (dem.) of Mich.—If the gentleman from Mississippi undertakes to moralize the Senate he will find that bis influence will be abortive; besides, at the very last session, the time for th» adjournment was fized beforeband, and had to be extended twenty-four hours. We can tell on the morning of the 3d of March better than now whether we shall be able to adjourn at the midnight of that day. I move to lay the motion on the table. Negatived—nays 26, yeas 11 Mr. Rusk, (dem.) of Texas, thought the Senate could decide for themeelves, when’ the time came, whether they would adjourn at twelve o’clock, midnight, or not. If Sens tors continue as religiously inclined as they now seem to be, they can adjourn at the proposed hour, ; Aiter @ few remarks from Mr, Gwin, (dem.) of Cali- fornia, Mr. Banger, (wh'g) of Gs., made a satirical, humor. ous, astronomical, delay sag tl whereupon Mr Tov- cay, (dem.) of Ct., apologized for having expressed him- self vgainst any kind or quantity of discussion upon any subject after the able demonstration of the use of debate by the Senstor from North Carolina. Mr. BanGxn said the apology was satisfactory. Mr. Skwarp, (free soil) of N. Y.—If there is no limita- tion by joint resolution we shall sit all Saturday night and Bunday morning. If time is limited we shall sit on i¢ay night instead of Saturday right—therefore | aup- port the resolution. Passed by y 18. GEN. SACK: \TTLE SWORD, Merers.

PROTECTION FOR YEDERAL OFFICERS—DERATE ON PO) SLAVERY AND KNOW NOTHINGISM—THE PREE SOIL. ©. A KLAZF—JUDGE DOUGLAS AROUSED, The bill to Olav officers and other persons acting wise the authority of the United States was then taken up.

Mr. Wanx, (free soil) of Ohio, considered this bill as designed toagain introduce the agitation of slavery into ngrers Mr. Doves, (dem.) of Il.—The Senator from Ohio regrets that the session couldn’t pass by without agita- tion.

Sir, (to Mr. Wade,) 1am readyto moet you as as a Northern man, on Northern soil, to discuss this question Mr. Ginucrre, (free soil) of Conn.—I regret to tres pass, but inasmuch aa my colleague has figured in this debate, Ifeel it due to present the true sentiments of Connecticut upon tbe subject which has been precipt- tated upon us.
