Relying on these as surances New Jersey had freely and fully, without conditions and without delay, con tributed her sons and means to the assist ance of the FederaLGetvernmeut. The second" 'resolution urges' upon the President and Congress a return and ad herence to the original policy of the ad ministration as the only means under the blessing of God by which the adhering States can be re-united in action, the ;Union restored and3he Nation, saved. Third, That it is the 'deliberate sense of the people of New Jersey that the war power to maintain the limits of the Con stitution is ample, and that all assump tions of power under whatever plea beyond that conferred by the Consti tution, is without warrant or authority and if continued will finally en• compass the "destruction-of the hberties of the people and the death of the repub lic, and therefore to the end, that in any event the matured and deliberate sense : of the people of New, jersey may be kfinwn and declaied, we "the Thep rasentatives in the Senate and Gen eral Assembly convened, do in this name and in their behalf make unto the Federal Government this our solemn pro test against the war waged for any uncon stitutional or party purposes,against a war for the purpose of subjugation with a view of reducing the insurgent states to a terri torial .condition against proclatnations under the plea of military necessity by which persons in the states or territories sustaining the Federal Government and beyond necessary military lines arc liable to the rigor and severity of military law against all arbitrary arrests and the sus pension of the writ of Habeas Corpus in the states and territories sustaining the Federal Government, against the creation of new States by the divisions of'pOw ones against the' oonfiseation - and Seisiste of property without judicial process; against the power assumed in the proclamation of the Presi dent, made January Ist, 1863, by which the slaves are set free, and against every exercise ot power upon the part of the Federal Government not clearly given and expressed in the Constitution. Fourth, While New Jersey has prompt ly yielded to the calls of the government, it has been out ot no lurking animosity to the South, nor with a-disposition to de prive liar people of their rights or proper ty, but simply to assist in maintaining the Federal Constitution ; but at nu time has she not been willing to terminate the war peacefully and honorably. The sth resolution deems the suggestion of plans for peace inexpedient, until the same assurances are given that such plans and efforts would not be tniscom rued, but be accepted by the South as a means of , settlement, honorable alike to both con tending patties. These resolutions way be regarded as the Legislature and will nu doubt be adopted .t.tsitixoros, Feb 4 —The amendment of the Senate Finance Committe to House bill providing Ways and geniis for support of the Government are important.

Mr. Sherman, of Ohio, offered an amend ment, which was adopted, providing that any officer absent with leave, shall receive only ,half pay, and when absent without leave, in addition to the penalties provided, shall forfeit all pay except when wounded or sick. Mr. Foote, of Vermont, offered an amendment, which was adopted, that the general orders of the War Department, Nos. 154 and 162, in reference to the en listment of volunteers into the regular service be repealed. Mr. Carlisle, of Virginia, moved to strike out the second section givirg the Presi dent power to make all rules for enrolling or drafting the militia.

The bill gave the President more power than ever was given to any despot. The , President might draft all Democrats if he I chose, or all Republicans or negroes. He claimed that. two•thirds of the rank and file were-Democrats. - - Mr. Harlan, of lowa, said that as far as his was concerned, three-fourths of the men in the army were Republicans, the vote of the regiments showed this. Mr. Richardson said that many regi• ments . were not allowed to vote. Mr. Harlan said that no complaint had been made, arcept by a defeated candidate for Congress, who complained that the soldiers were allowed to vote at all. Mr. Lane, of,Kansas, said he had been informed on good authority that a majori ty of the soldiers of Illinois were Repub• !mans. As tar as Kansas was concern ed, if the Senator meant as Democrats, those who did /l ' ot believe the negro would fight and were not willing to let him fight, there was 'not a corporals guard in the army of that State. The motion was disagreed to; yeas 14, nays 33. Mr. Cartile moved to strike out the fourth section. After the discussion and pending the question, the Senate ad journed.
