The Senate went into executive session in order to give the Impeachment -Man agers an opportunity to obtain certain ex ecutive documents.

Referred to Com, mittee on Commerce. • THE tßtg'il.V.ti TREATY. 4 The SPEAKER presented a message from the President in relation to the treaty with the 'German Powers respecting a resolution or report from the Secretary of State in relation .to the negotiations and treaty With any of the German States since the first of January last. -Relating to the rights el-naturalized citizens, in one of the letters from Bancroft, of January 20th, he says: Count Bisnaarck informs me that the British Government has inquifed of him as to answer of tho Prussian Government on the subject of naturalization. In reply he informed them of the intention of this Government to come to an understanding with that of America. The remarks of Count Bisma.rek implied that the British Government is inclined to follow the eXam pie of Prussia and that the settlement of that question here will be virtually a settle ment for Great Britain.•• Mr,. Seward , in a letter to Bancroft of February 18th says :'I have informally suggested to the British ,Minister here that a proceeding in form of n mutual or common legislation:in the two countries, would be More siinple, and proba bly easier,.than a formal regulation in the naturalimtion laws existing between us and those of the two Governments respectively, inasmuch; as :there are se, - many. other qu `estions . which - Urentl require settle ment bet Ween the United y States and Great 'Britain, besides of the conflicting Naturali zation laws. The doeuments include a copy of treaty recently concluded between the United States and North German 'Con federation. Mr, Bancroft in explaining the'history of the negotiation says on the question of the the right of expariatloa.themivaano 7 dis‘z.; ous.sion. It is recognized by the laws Vt . both countries. On tho question of resi dence -as a condition of naturalization, which the mother country should respect, there existed no difference. The time of residence was a point of more delicacy. The Prussian law required an absence of ten years,•ours a residence of five years. 'With liberality and franknesS Count Bis marck declared himself willing to accept the American rule as it had received: the sanction of the. Administration at Wash ington, and had become fixed by the Mingo of more than three-score years and ten. Mr. Bancroft— says that should the United States see fit for its own purposes as lately in the act of July 17, IS2, to concede the naturalization In. a short residence, their rightCto do so is:not impaired, but the meaning ofthis treaty is that they will not ask North Germany to recognize, such nature/iv/U.on Until the adopted citizen shall have completed the term now required by their normal law.

The Wiener the Wilmot Proviso. eorresporitien of the N. Y. Sun, refer ring to a 'Statement first made public in a special. drspateli ottlie Chronicle, that Judge Brinkerhoff, of the Ohio Supreme Court, was the real- author of the "Wilmot Pro viso," gives tie following. curious account of the origin-of thatmeasure, and the may in whiCh it was presented to Congress: The history of that proviso is this: In 1847 a political club met at the corner of Eighth street' and Broadway to partake of a weekly dinner. The club was composed. of Barnburners--Democrats opposed to the extension of slavery. _ At the dinner referred. to, Mr. liowe, a westero member Of Congress, was present. His purpose in _visitingNew .York was to take counsel with the friends of freedom how to head off the pro-slavery Democrats. Amort.per the,members of the club present wereJolin Van B . uren, Samuel J. Tilden, John A. - Ketosedv, Isaac V. Fowler. And. H: Green,' and well-known freesoil During the consultation, John Van Bu ren said that the protest against tl:c exten sidn of slavery, introduced into Congress, was not worded right. He suggested that the exact - words of Jefferson, in the famous ordinance of 'B3 and 'B7 should ;.'e- used. This was agreed to. _ • Mr. Howe stated that it would be difficult to introduce the proviso, .as the SPeaker would not give the floor •to 'any one friend ly to freedom. Mr. Tilden, as the chief or ganizer of the movement about to be made, proposed that a stratagem should be . play ed. It was agreed' that mit man composing the little body of sixteen or eighteen freesoilers in Congress shouldhave a copy of the proviso in his pocket. Each should spring to the floor at the first chance, and shout, "Mr. Speaker:" It was thought that one of them would'he'recognizcd. Mr. Tilden, with other members of the club, went to Waibington to aid in avrrying out the plan. a time; agreed npon the : Spar-, tan band, each with the proviso, in his hand, sprang to the floor, and hi concert shouted, "Mr. - Speaker!" The Speaker wasc.bowil dered... He could 'not ignore: , the whole crowd. He selected Judge Wilmot,as the mostniedeiete of the party, and so the Wil- • mot Proviso passed into history; - is quite, probable that a draft bf the proviso in the hands of Judge Brinkerhoff ispriserved aniOng his papers; but theorigi ditift, if it exists at all, will he'found among the papers of John Van Btireli.
