Mr. Mortis of Ohio, presented the resolutions of the General Assembly of Ohio, unanimously adopted by both Houses, against the annexation of Texas to the United States. The resolutions ny that the Texan Government declares all slave trade piracy, except the slave trade between the United States. Mr. Morris, in some remarks, said that he should very soon introduce an inquiry into the Senate, whether or not in recognising the Independence of Texas we consented to any such trade. The resolutions were read and laid on the table. Neutrality Bill. Mr. Buchanan, from the Committee of conference on the disagreeing Votes of the two Houses of Congress upon this subject, repor
ted to the Senate that the Committee of con
ference had agreed upon a form in which to
dispose of the bill before the Senate. Mr. Buchanan said that the Senate secured its
provision securing the trade by sea, althougl they had apparently adopted the proviso o
the House. The Senate agreed to the report
1 the committee of conference.
A resalution of inquiry was referred to the Committee on Manufactures,instructing them to inquire into the expediency of repealing
the duties on imported sawed timber.

une senator absent, Mr. Kuggles. The amendment had reference to giving preference to State Banks, where there are State Banks, over other depositories. Mr. P. withdrew his second amendment, which made it legal to receive public dues in bank notes. This question disposed of, the question came up on the amendment of Mr. Rives. Mr. Bayard, of Delaware, who has not spoken upon this bill, here began a long speech "in opposition to the bill, ind one of the most ftbl character, entering at large upon the meiltsof the bill and the substitute, and discussing all the questions of finance and currency, business fcc. connected with it, with great power and force. The House of Representatives left the Appropriation Bill to-day for the purpose of proceeding to the Special orders of the day, which were the late Message of the President in reference to the North Eastern Boundary. Mr. Fairfield of Maine was entitled to the floor and made a long, very long speech upon the question. The business of the morninehour was of a
miscellaneous character, and not of much importance. A resolution was referred to ihe Committee on Public Buildings, asking them to consult as to the expediency of providing some other room than that now occupied as a
Hall for the House of Representaties; or if no other room can be procured, to inquire as to the expediency of altering the present Hall of Representatives so as to make it more con
venient.
The North Eastern Boundary Message was -discussed until a lata hour, when Mr. Cam-
releng moved the further postponement of j

Mr. Jbvang strenuously opposed this mo-
lion. Mr. Cumbrc leng moved the Previous Qucs

soon after the Senate met, after w hich set era! resolutions and memorials were presented. Among the memorials and resolutions were the proceedings of a meeting of the citizens of a neighboring county of Virginia in refetence to the late duel. A memorial upon the same subject was also presented and laid upon the table. Both memorials were order
ed to be printed. Mr. Wright introduced a resolution, which
na mucu, caning lor information with a
view to equalise the salaries of the clerks in the several Departments. The Bill supplementary to the Act to amend the Judiciary System of the United States, was taken up, further considered, and laid on the table. The pension Annual Appropriation Bill, which passed the House some days since, was considered without debate order to be read a third time, engrossed, and finally passed. Mr. Buchanan presented fourteen memorials, asking for a Dry Dock at the Navy Yard at Philadelphia.
The resolution introduced by Mr. Niles, of
Conn, in relation to the Bank of the Metropolis, was further amended to day and adopted,
on motion of Mr. Talmadge, with a view to
get further miormation. The Sub-Treasury bill came up at one o'
clock, Mr. Bayard upon the floor in continua
tion of his yesterday's speech. Mr. Bayard spoke until half past five o'clock
and the majority at that hour reluctantly gave way to a motion to adjourn. Mr.
Wright opposed the motion to adiourn. Mr.
Clay told the Senate and Mr. Wright that if
mis was the lustice ttie minority were to ex
pect from the majority, they would remember it. Most of the Senators who had spoken in favor of the bill before the Senate, had spoken for two days Mr. Niles. Mr. B rown. Mr.
Strange, Mr. Hubbard, Mr. Allen, and nearly all the defenders. Twice the time had been
occupied by the friends of the bill, and almost twice the number of speeches had been begun at nearly the hour of adjournment by an opponent of the bill, a motion to adjourn was opposed, and by a party vote. The rebuke of Mr. Clay had its proper and desired effect, and the Senate readily consented to adjourn. After Mr. Bayard had concluded his able
speech Mr. Morris of Ohio took the floor to give what he called his opinion upon the question before the Senate. Mr. Morris said his
Legislature had virtually insliucted him to
vote against the bill before the Senate. My
views of instructions are, said Mr. Morris, that the Senator, if he could obey consistently, should obey, if he was in doubt upon any question he should obey; and if he disagreed willi his constituents he should not obey, but re
sign. 1 his, said, Mr. Morris of my doctrine.
Mr, Morris is now, half-past four. in the
conclusion of his remarks, stating his object tions to the Bill as it is, but hoping: it may be
so amended as to be made acceptable to the
people and to Mr. Morris. He hopes this but doubts, and at any rate he will not vote for
that part of the Bill which puts the public money under bolts and bars, into safes and
boxes, &c. How Mr. Morris will vote is a
matter of doubt.
P. S. Mr. Morris has concluded, and Mr.
Calhoun has the floor to-morrow. Among the measures now in embryo before Congress is one which proposes the establishment of a"HomeSqudron & Naval School,"
the object ol which'is to give charactcr,stabili ty & permanence to the Naval Department o the United States. A more glorious institu
tion one more worthy the care and patron
age oi inc oenerni Government, cannot

Departments with the Naval Committees fa vor the project, and when fairly before Con
gressit can hardly fail to receive a unanimous and most triumphant approval. The mover
of this ixpediticn is worthy of all honor.

Mr. Buchanan commended the inwennitv
of the petition, but said it had failed to convince him, &c. The memorial was ordered to be printed and referred to the committer
of finance.
Several Bills were finally passed. SCB-TREASURY BILL. Mr. Calhoun said he rose in fulfilment of
promise which he had made when hp last ad

sions or its mistakes. Mr. C. said the Senator from Kentucky had misrepresented him in almost all that he had said in his opinions against the substitute of Mr. Rives the bill before the Senate and the Bank of the U. States. Mr. Calhoun then specified these misrepresentations, as he called them, which Mr. Clay had offered to his remarks.
ine senator from Kentucky, continued
Mr. Calhoun, thought proper to introduce
certain pcrfonal remarks, which adverse as 1
am to all personal allusions, I will not pass by unnoticed. We are sent here said Mr. C.
not to wrangle but to attend to public busi
ness, jjut no caution on mv part could pre
vent me from being answered in a personal
manner.
He has made a gratuitous and personal as
sault on me. He asserted that I expected aid
irom the opposite party, and this was the rea'
son why I had gone over upon the opposite side, or left his party. 1 cannot, continued
Mr. C. attribute a love of personal abuse,
lor the character of the Senator forbids me to
do so, as the reason why he thought proper to answer me in the manner he did. I cannot believe that he did it with a view to intimidate me. The Senator knows me too well to believe, that I can be intimidated. I represent
a constituency as respectable as those repre
sented by the senator, and 1 can hnd but one
motive why the Senator referred to me in the
manner he has done. The Senator despair ing of overthrowing by his argument my ar L 1 I A . . t
gumem, nas resorcca 10 personalities in the hope that they would answer my argument. Viewed in this light he intends them as an
answer in part to my argument. The Sena tor has imposed upon a double duty, and be
fore I have done 1 shall place my character as far above the shafts of the Senator as my ar
gument was above his ability to meet it. Mr. Calhoun here went on, as he said, to give an outline of the principal events in his
past history, to prove that he had been a con
sistent man, and in this part of his subject he called upon the Secretary cf the Senate to rend in a loud aid distinct manner part of a speech made by him in 1834. Mr. Calhoun also called upon the Senators as his judges to listen to his speech, and to his opinions of himself. Mr. Calhoun was very interesting, except when reading, and having read columns of old speeches made years gone by. Mr. Calhoun however said these extracts were necessary, in order to prove that he had not gone from one side to another. He wished to clear his skirts from any such charge. The extracts were the longer part of Mr. Calhoun's speech. The reading of old speeches having been gone through, Mr. Calhoun went on in continuation. He averred that he had been consistent always been consistent and no man
had been more so than himself. His rule of
action had been consistency, and yet the Senator, when his consistency was upon record, and had been proved by the speeches which had been read, said he had gone over had changed sides. But my course as has been seen, is consistent, and his charges fall to the ground; from written testimony I have proved my consistency, and I think I have escaped victorious. The good opinion of Mr. Calhoun concerning himself and his speeches, here'excited a general expression of merriment in the Senate Chamber. Mr. Calhoun went on to answer that part of Mr. Clay's speech which quoted from his Edgefield letter in answer to an invitation to partake of a public dinner. In that letter, as you may remember, he spoke of the suspension of specie payments and the important political events of the day connected therewith. Mr. Calhoun made a paity question of it, and made his remarks, some of Ihem at least, of a party character. Mr. Calhoun however had one of the extracts read, and then with a burst of excitement said, that the charee of it. O . 11 . . . . . O

Mr. ualhoun then went on and said that
he had not left the party of which the Sena tor from Kentucky was a distinguished mm.
ber. He had not left that party, for he never belonged to it, althouged he had voted with it. I belong to no party except the old Re-
pu oncan party of y to this and no other. I support all parlies who support that party, and I oppose all parties who oppose that.

Here Mr. Calhoun interfered, and said that he should like to interrupt him, for he did not
