the amendment was agreed to. II
was then reported as from committee
ofthe whole TO the Senate.


Nh. Allen then took The foor. and
spoke against the preamble 10 the re-
solution. In bis opinion it wa. ntIer-'
/ " uncalled for. 1t was an attempt to
speak to Great Britain, behind the
President, around the President, in
behalfsof this notice; for if the pream-
hle was intended as directions 10 the
President, it ought TO have the con
!. stitutional votes oftwosthirds Of lhe
Senate in their executive character
otherwise it could not be binding up
on the President. IF the Senate in,
dertook to advise the President, il had
a right so 10 do, but II : ought to be
done in its executive and not in its lie.
/ gi-lative character. The Senate, BY
this resolution hinted TO the President
what ought to be done, but left the
whole responsibility upon him. After
i the President had referred the whole
matter to Congress, this was ungener"
Gus. twas proposi ion which hn-
inflated the Senate in the eyes Of the
world, because they refused 10 take
,he responsibility. Therefore he, If
he stood alone, would vote againstit.
Such a resolution arrayed one branch
Of Congress against the other, and
both against the President. What
will be the nature of the next des.
patches from the British Minister to
England? And what hope would
there be now ofa favorable settle-
ment Of the matter.


Mr.. Crit.enden replied. He asked
|"Upon what meat does our Caesar
feed, that he should come here and
thus lecture the Senate? How could
he take upon himselfto say that the
Senate of the United States had hu.
inflated itself. The gentleman did
not know the Senate. and further, he
did not know himsetf, as was evident
from his language. In this severe
style he replied to the whole Of the
remarks Of Mr.. A., styling them AFRO
gaot and superciIious.


Mr.. Allen rejoined with considera-
BILE spirit, and raid he was at loss to
spoke, the Senator invariably jumped
up and attacked him with personal
abuse. Some ofthe repartees of Mr..
A. we're keen as razor and caused
great laughter.


Mr.. CriAenden rejoined with great
severity. He said he had an instinc-
tive aversion 10 blackguard, and
an instructive desire always to team-
pie upon and put down impudence
and arrogance.


Mr.. Allen explained that bis re-
marks referred 10 an act Of the Sen
ate as body, and that they had no
personal application.


The question was then taken on
concurring in the amendment Of the
committee Of the whole, by which Mr..
Johnson's preamble and resolution
were substituted for the House resola
tons. 1t was agreed to.


The joint resolution as amended
was then ordered to be engrossed for
a third reading by vote of yeas 40.
