Agreeable to order, the House resumed the
second reading and consideration of House bill
No. 233, entitled, "An Act to repeal an act fOr
the commutation of the tonnage duties."
The pending question was on Mr. 'Cisese's
amendment to the amendment of Mr. Winataies,
viz
To strike therefrom the words "unjustly and
imcOnstitutionally," and the words "which
were false and pretented," and insert the word

and considerations, which were either in con
flict with the Constitution, etc.;" and tostrike
out the second and third paragraphs of the

Adjourned
The President to-day transmitted to Congress
the followiug message:
Felloio Ceti:wiz' of the Senate' and House of &pre•
I recommend the adoption of a joint resolu
tion by,your honorable bodies, which shill be
substantially as follows:
Readied, That the United States ought to co
operate with any State Which may adopt, grad
ual abolishment of slavery, giVinglo such State
pecuniary aid to be used .by such State in its
discretion to compensate for the inconveniences,
public and private, produced by suchchange
of system. '
If the proposition containedin the resolution
does not meet the approval of. Congress and the
country, there is the end, but if it does com
mand such approval, I deem it of importance
that the States and people immediately in
terested should be at once distinctly : noti
fied of the fact so that they may begin to
consider whether to accept or , reject it. , The
federal government would find its highest
interest in such a measure as one oz the
most efficient means of self-preservation.
The leaders of the existing insurrection
entertain the hope that this Government will
ultimately be forced to acknowledge the inde
pendence of some part of the disaffected region,
and that ail the slave States north of such parts
will then say, the Union for which we have
struggled' being already gone, we now
choose to go with the Southern section.—
To deprive them of this hope substantially
endathe rebellion and the initiation of eman
cipation completely deprives them of it as Wall
States imitating it. the point is not that ail the
States tolerating slavery would very soon, if at
all initiate emaucipation, but that while the
offer is equally made to all, the more northern
shall by such initiation make it certain to the
more southern, that in no event will the former
ever join the latter in their prOposed
confederacy. say initiation because in my
judgment gradual and not sudden emancipa
tion is better for all. In the mere financial or
pecuniary view any member of Congress, with
the census tables and treasury reports before
him, can readily see for. himself how soon the
current expenditures of this h war would per
chaee at fair valuation all the slaves in any
named State. Such a proposition on
the part of i the general government sets up no
claim of a right by Federal authority to inter
fere with slavery within State limits, referring
as it does the absolete control of the subject in
each case to the State and its people immedia
tely interested, it is proposed as a matter of
perfectly iree choice,with them.
In the annual message last December, I
thought fit to say the Union must be preserv
ed, and hence all indispensable means must he
employed I said this not hastily, but delibe
rately. War has been.made,.and continues to
be an indispensable means to this end. A
practical re-acknowledgment of the national
authority would render the war unnecessary,
and it would at once cease. If, however, re
sistance continues the war must also con
tinue, and. it is impossible to forese all the
incidents which may attend and all the ruin
which may follow it. Such as may seem
indispensable or may obviously promise greet
efficiency towards ending the struggle must and
will come. _The proposition now made 'is an
offer only. I hope it maybe:esteemed no of
fence to ask whether the pecuniary considera
tion tendered would not. be , of more value to
the States and private persons and property in
them, than in the present aspect of affairs.
While it is true that the adoption of the pro
posed resolution would be merely initiatory
and not within itself a practical measure, it is
recommended in the hope that it would soon
lead to important practical results.
In full view of my great responsiblity to my
God and to my country, I earnestly beg the
attention of Congress and the people to the
subject

On the doors being re opened, the Senate
adjourned.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
After further debate the bill was amended
and pawed.
The Speaker laid before the House a message
from the President, suggesting the passage of a
joint resolution co-operating with any State for
the abolition of slavery, with pecuniary Qom]
pensation therefore.
Op motion of Mr. STBVENS, (Pa.) the mmage
was referred to the committee of the whole on
the state of the Union.
Mr. STNNZNS, from the Committee on Ways
and Means, reported a bill authorizing the pur
chase of coin. Its consideration was postponed
till to-morrow.
The House went into a committee •of the
whole on the state of the Union, on the bill to
regulate the franking privilege. •
Mr. PERRY, (N. J..) spoke in opposition to
the extreme anti-slavery measures which have
been proposed. Tuts was a time for the exhi
bition of patriotism and the defense of the
Upion. He was at a loss to see how it wee
necessary to set the slaves free now as an ally
in the suppression of the rebellion. This was
not a war for the suppression of the South,
but for tie restoration of the authority of the
Government. Behind the dark clouds of re
hellionthe sky of the Union was clear and
bright, and the stars of all the States were
sparkling in all their beauty, and soon it would
be that this dark cloud would pass away. and
one by one the stars would reappear in all their
glory, and the people would thank' God they
were all their.
Mr. DAVIS (Pa.) reviewed the various shsdes
of politics, and the purposes of political , organ
izations. He discussed the peculiarities and
dignity of labor, and in the course of his re
marks said, "never again would slavery become
the controlling power of the Government. Let
it hely:town that, while we have heretofore been
true to the compromises of the Cortetittution,
we now feel ourselves absoluted therefrom by
the acts of the armed slave-holders."
Mr. KALI= (Pa.) rose to ask the House to
repair, as far as it could, a wrong done to a
friend and constituent of his, a gentleman
of character and integrity—oue who from early
life to his present age has managed a large
public business—a leading newspaper, and has
secured the public respect by his integrity, and
who has literally fulfilled all his engagements
to his fellow men. He asked that a statement
from Col. Alexander Cummings, which be had
done him the honor to address to him, be Lied
in reply to a certain part of the report of the
committee on government contracts.
Mr. Wvcraws (Ky.) referred to the report,
quoting certain articles that had been pur
chased by Mr. Cummings, such as cod-fish, ale,
stray hits, &c., and inquired whether Mr.
Melly intended to defend this Mr. Cummings.
Mr. KULY replied that Mi. Cummings had
been charged by the committee with •having
$140,000, for which vouchers had not bees
furnished, and as thiastatement had, been given
to the press and commented upon by the com
mittee, it was hut fair that Mr. Cummings
shoulibbe heard in his own vindication. Ad
