The Senate, which his been diring the whole session arrogant and dictatoris!, backed down to-day from & ‘Very material point in the Confiscation bi!l, upon verbal {Information of a Senator that ihe President took excep- ten to it. This action has no precetent. Skedaddling im foar of a veto, the Senatesbas clearly admitted its de- Uderate wrong in the passage of an unconstitutional measure. Instead of waiting a reception of the veto tm constitutional form, and vindicating Congression a) action in @ constitutional mode, by seeking to pase the Dill notwithstanding the Executive objec- don, and thus freeing Senawrs from respo:sibili ty, they mrde basto to coneiiiate the President by eompliauces that have no example in legislation. In ‘Tyler’s time, if a verbal statement bad come froma Senator, that unlers a certain portion of a bi!l to incorpe- vate wpational bank, then before the President, was modified by legislation, the ,bill would be vetoed, what would have been the voice of Clay or Webster, or indeed @ any of the great men that then composed the Senate? % will be rememberea that Mr. Clay blazed with anger at the bare intimation in the Senate that a Wil would be vetoed. It was characterized a9 an @@ert to terrorize and awe a co-ordinate branch of @e government. Mr. Wade to-day wanted to know ‘who was the organ between the Senate and the Execu_ Wve about the negro?

Some Senators who are pot so accurate might undertake to sate the views of the President and maxe a mistake, and th» Senate might vote on entirely erroneous views. This reso ution proprass an entirely new precedent. Such a ining has never been done before. Yhe amendment pose! hy the Senator from New Hampshire (Mr. Clark) was sugge=ted simply ‘aud solely for the purpose’ of overcoming the objections which he (Mr. Bigeomangs underst’od were made by the President. This seems like an attempt on the part of the President to coerce Congress.

Ho (hr. Trumbull) kad fe!t a great deal of interest in the partage of a confiscation bil, and he believed that if one had been at the commence- ment of the session the rebellion by this time ‘would have been suppressed. The passage of auch « bill would have been of more value to us than the taking of the rebel canital, It wos just a difference between saying to the sianves of the rebels, * Fecape from e"B and come within our lines and your your mas'e shackles shat! fat! forever,” aud saying to them, “If pono car lines you shall be driven bach.” rebels had confiscated ‘ali the property of Union mon that they could lay their hands on; birt, of course, rebel pronerty must be protected,and when a Union army come npen it a gnard must be placed around it to protect it, So there wes every inducement for men to side against the government, for then no harm world come to them ‘rom either side. We should have had Gz of friends in the South if the confiscation policy been adopted, and men been told that if they took up arms against the government their property would betaken. Tho Confiscation bill maxes it the duty of the Presinent to take the property of the rebels towards tho expenses of the war: but the bil, if he understood it, did not declare the forfeiture of real estate of nny con. vieted traitor, and he thonght, wien the President came © examine the bill carefidliy, he would find there was no 80ch cla: se jv it, aud he (Mr. Trambull) did not believe the veto age woul ‘er reach tho Senate, ad would not behove it tt he saw it; therefore he would Rot pass this \esolution to obviate any supposed oijco tions.

He should, . ter the cireum- stances, vote for the resolution and for the ameudment of the Senator from’ Now Hampshire. Mr. Howann, (rep.) of Mich. . should vote for the reso- lution, thongh he protested against any such ob ection as rugxesiad, Dut he would not jeopardize in any way the Confiscation act.
