The pre vious question was called and the resolution tabled by a vote of 78 to 05. Adjourned:. WASIIINOTON, Jan. 4 Senate.--Mr. Douglass, of Illinois, reported a bill for the organization of the Territory of Nobrasca. The bill provides that the Fugitive Slave law shall be in full force in said terri tory. Mr. Seward caked up .the resolution relating to Senator Phelps. A desultory de bate sprang up on the question of the refer ence of the resolution• to a committee. Mr. Foot took the ground that Mr. Phelps was entitled to his seat. Mr. Badger argued that he was not entitled to a seat, and wanted„...to have the question settled as a precedent. Mil, Phelps vindicated his right to a seat under the appointment of the Governor of Vermont. After some fuither discussion, the question was taken and the resolution adopted. Seve ral petitions wore „presented and referred. Among them, one from John Lea, of Cincin natti, Ohio, representing that ho has discover ed a preventive of the cholera, and asking an investigation by a suitable committee, or ho Surgeon General of the United Statbs Army, of the theory advanced, The theory of the memorialist consists in the use of rain or boiled water. He asserts that when the chol era attacked Cincinntati in 1845, ho found that deaths in those families that used water from the Ohio river were very rare, and in thOse where rain or boiled water was used there were no mortal cedes. That ho does not remember ono well authenticated case of ' death by cholera where rain water was drank exclusively ; 4 1out on the other hand he had known whole families cut off by persyting in the use of well and spring water, while their ,nearest neighbors, who persisted in the use of rain water, had not a fatal case in their fami lies.

The joint .resolution confdtring the grade of Lieutenant General on General Seott was taken up. A motion to lay it on the table was defeated by a vote of 56 yeas to 82 nays, and the resolu tion was referred to the Committee on Mili tary affairs, Benafe.—Mr. Foot gave notice of a bill pro viding for the construction of a rail road from the Mississippi river to the Pacific coast. lle said his bill would be a practical measure, and differing from the other projects heretofore submitted to Congress. Tho select committee on the Pacific Railroad is not yet appointed. Mr. Cass mitred that the message of the President of the other day, relating to the Clayton and Bulwer treaty, be referred, and that that motion be postponed and mode the order of the day for Tuesday next, which day ho would ask to be heard on the subject. Agreed to. Mr. Dodge, of lowa, moved the Nebraska bill be printed, with the report of the committee. This was agreed to, and the Senate then adjourned to Tuesday. House.—Mr. Dean, from the Committee on Foreign Affairs, reported the resolution pre senting the thanks of Congress M Capt. Ingra ham, and providing for a suitable medal. The House refused to put the resolution on its 'passage. The resolUtien was then,diacussed at considerable length, many objections being expressed, principally by Southern members, because its imseage would be endorsing Kozata as en American citizen.- The debate condoned to the' hour of adjournment.

'ALTMAN & Go., comes down upon the Pennsylvanian, and Col. John W. Forney, in the fiercest style. With regard to the National and State Administra tion, it says it will support them ' in all meas ures bused upon Deinocratio principles, and designed for lb() promotion Of the public good,' but ',wishes it to be distinctly understood,' that it considers itself in no wise bound to approve every Executive sentimerit or appoint ment.' This sounds somewhat equivocal.= The Eldon will henceforth be the organ of the Case and Camefon wine6f the party. Its ed itorials are from the pen of our old friend, George W.

The Whigs, disheartened by the successive defeats of 1851 and 1862, have allowed the late elections to go by default, but brighter prospects are again opening up before them, and we do not , think we count too largely upon the recuperative energies of the party, in predicting that in the great battle to come off next year, they• wilt once more march shoulder to - shoulder in solid phalanx.

PLAIN ,SPEAKING Tun PnEsintiscy.—Fronlilin Pierco has been sufficiently long in office to show the stuff he is ulnae of, and the result is not very favor ablo,. either to his character or popularity .among his own partizans. Already there is a Well organized opposition against the Admin istration, from the members of its oDin politi cal faith in Congress, and so great is the feel ing of disappointment in all parts of the Union at his course, that if hb were again before the people for the same office, ho would, assuredly suffer an inglorious defeat. The New York Sun, a neutral paper of .the Ledger stamp, in tin article on the now President, says: " Of one folly thb Presidency of Franklin Pierco will,' we believe, cure the American people—the folly of passing by eminent states men who have rendered valuable services to the 'country, and bestowing the highest honors in the Republic upon comparatively obscure politicians of third or fourth rate abilities.— The weightidst responsibilities of Government ought not to be entrusted to such men. Should we continue to make the Presidency of the United States a sort of Lottery Prize, for which ppliticians of all grades might gamble with equal chances of success, and which tho moll unfit might win, the Republio must boon lone its high character and forfeit the esteem which constitute the moral force of a nation." Hereafter the Surdviees-the people not to 'run the risk of electing a 'nobody,' with the additional mortification of thinking, for twelve months, that they .have elected 'somebody,' and then find they hadn't.' DARDS AND SOFT, The result of the caucus field by the dem oeratid members of the House at Harrisburg, is said to indicate the relative strength of the " Horde" and " Sorts" in the present Legisla ture. The candidates were Mr. CHASE, of Susquehanna, the Speaker elect, and James li. Struthers, of Carbon. On the first balled Chase had 33 votes, and Struthere 31, with. two scattering votes, so that Chaos received the caucus nomination of 'the party' by a tie vote. It is understood, we believe, that Chase is a 'Soft,' or Administration man; while Stru thers 'sympathises with the ' or. Na tionals'. If this be so the Herds' and Softs' in Pennsylvania are nearly as nicely balanced as in New York.

The fourth article provides for the specific enforcement of the Tehuantepec right of way. The fifth contains an alternative proposition to the second article, to theoffect that Mexico shall cede to the United States a boundary which will include the route known in Lieu tenant Parke's map as "Lieutenant Colonel Cooko's wagon route," extending nearly to the thirty-first parallel, and going due west, so as to give us a large accession of territory, and taking in the whole of the peninsula of Lower California. including Sonora, upon the pay. mont by the United States 'to Mexico of fifty millions of dollars.

LATEST FOREIGN' NEWS The Canada, from Liveirpool Decmber 21th, arrived on Wednesday at Halifax. The Turk ish war shows r'a signs of relaxation, though . the diplomatists continue to negotiate. A bloody engagement has taken place,,at Kalefat on the Danube, in which the Turks repulsed the Russians with great slaughter on both sides. From Asia there i 6 nothing decisive, though it is reported that the Georgians aid and wel come the advancing 'irks. The statement that Persia has declared against the Porte is confirmed : the Shah is to furnish nomo nal. dieas to Russia. On the other hand the Rus sins provinces of the Crimea and Kherson are said to be'in a state of partial insurrection.— i is credibly asserted that the Blltish, French and Turkish fleets , entered the Black Sea on the 10th December, their supposed destination being iieba'stopol. Three vessels of each squa dron were left to7iiiard Constnntinople. The Czar having frequently declared that the entry into the Black Sea would be considered by him equivalent to a declaration of war—the with drawal of the Russian Ministers from Paris and London was immediately looked fn.. An extraordinary rumor was afloat about the nt Sinope. The Ttrk.s imagine the affair was planned with the consent of the British to intimidate them into accepting terms of peace.

Lord Bowden acted as the second of the Marquis de Turgot. A duel had also been fought between Young Soule math° Duke of Alba, growing out of-the mime affair. In nei ther come had any-barns been done. The vacancy in 'the British Cabinet caused by the resignation of Lord Pahnerston re mains open. It is said that he was invited to resume office, the reason being that Lord Cla rendon would resign ii Palmerston was onl-u -dell from the Cabinet.
