{Correspondence of the Const. & Republic |
Milledge villf., Jan. 13, 1854.
Mr. Editor : The proceedings in the Senate,
to-day, have been of a stormy and exciting char
acter. A long and desultory discussion has ta
ken place on the Senatorial question. Os tips
discussion I had prepared a full sketch, which
has been misplaced, and I am, therefore, compel
led to give your readers a more meagre outline
than I had intended. The President announced
•rthis morning, as the business in order, the unfin-
vished business of yesterday, viz: the motion of
Mr. Smith to take up his resolution bringing on
■ the election of U. S. Senator.
Mr. Anderson, of Chatham, moved to lay the
motion ol Mr. Smith, ol Coweta, on the table.
; Considerable discussion followed on this motion,
which Mr. Anderson finally withdrew.
During this discussion, Mr. McGehee,of Hous
• ton, moved the previous question, and went on to
-show that the Whig party had set the example
. of electing a Senator two years in advance.
Mr. Miller hoped the Senator from Houston
would withdraw his call for the previousquestion
That Senator refused to do so, when Mr. Miller
moved an adjournment, which was lost—yeas,
41; nays, 45. The Senate then refused to sus
tain the call for the previous question—yeas,42;
nays, 45.
Mr. Miller then replied to Mr. McGehee, read
ing from the journal of 1815 a series of resolu
tions introduced by President Stell,disapproving
the policy of electing a U. S. Senator, two years
in advance. Mr. McGehee inquired of the Sen
ator from Richmond how he voted on those res
olutions. Mr. Miller replied against them, and
for good reasons. Mr. McGehee said the rea
sons were, his party was then in power. Mr.
Miller continued his speech, and asked the Sen-
ator I'roin Bulloch how he voted. Mr. Cone re
plied in favor of them, because he then believed
the Senator who would likely be elected, would
act Wm. H. Seward; but he did not see any
such danger now. Mr. Miller said that his par
ty had never gone into an election of U. S. Sen
ator two years In advance, except on the incom
ing of a new administration, and even that
would be no excuse for the Democratic parfy.
The question recurred on the motion to take
up the resolution, which was carried—yeas, 44 ;
nays, 43.
Mr. Miller moved an adjournment, which was
lost —yeas, 44; nays, 44. The Chair voted in
the negative.
The debate here again waxed warm. Mr.
Stephens, of Hancock, said he wouid avail him
self of the right., which the constitution gave
him, to withdraw.
Mr. Clark wanted to know where was that
clause in the constitution.
Mr. Stephens rose,arid said he would use the
doctrine which the gentleman so strongly advo
cates, the right of secession.
Then the right of secession, even according to
the Senator from Hancock, is a constitutional
pow. r; he would avail himself ot that clause in
the constitution, which the gentleman so strong-
ly advocates, the right of secession.
Mr. McGehee said, that the gentleman did not
follow their leader. In 1840 they pointed to the
fact that they had a candidate, John Tyler, who
did not bolt where others did, who had the bold
ness to stay and vote his solitaiy No. That was
then the great tower of their strength. It was
the war cry of Roderick Dhu.
Mr. Hull moved to make the resolution the
special order of Friday next, and supported his
motion in a short speech, to which Mr. Cochran
replied. Mr. Hull moved an adjournment which
' was lost. ThenJuflaa-d a general
*" the Whigs, De
mocrats J The principle now was :
“Ho who fights, and runs away,
May live to fight another day.”
The Senate was now left without a quorum,
and no effort of the door-keeper, no invitation
could draw the refractory Senators back to their
seats. There the Democracy remained, ; s if
about to carry out the declaration of the Senator
from Houston, who said they could stay four
days and four nights.
I he Whigs >ent a message by the door keeper
that they were fareing sumptuously, and invited
their Democratic friends to come and join them.
Every thing remained in this beautiful state ol
confusion until about 3 o’clock, when the Senate
adjourned to meet again at 4. At the appointed
hour, the faithful again repaired to the Senate
Chamber, but in vain awaited the return of the
Secessionists. They loafed around the doors, and
cackled in the lobby, faucying that they had
eltectuaily brought matters to a crisis; that they
had completely out-generalled the democracy.
I hey were, therefore, somewhat surprised that
there would be a meeting of the Democratic
party to-night in the Senate Chamber, at which
ail who expected'in future to act with the party
were invited to be present.
The meeting has been held, and Messrs. An
derson, Bailey and Moon, who seceded this
morning from the Senate, participated in the
proceedings. Warm and enthusiastic speeches
were made, and the utmost harmony prevailed.
Resolutions were adopted declaring it expedi
ent to bring on the Senatorial Election, and
leaving it to each man to vote for the Democrat
of his choice. Such has been the result of the
dissension of the morning. Out of disturbance
has sprung the best good feeling, and all seem at
last willing to abandon personal prejudices, and
sacrifice personal gratifications for the success ol
..hose principles upon which the party organiza
tion is based.

Augusta Market, January 18.
COTTON.—Our market opened last Wednesday
dull, and so continued throughout tho week. The
Baltic or Europa’s advices have had no effect on
prices. There has been a good demand during the
week for qualities ranging from Good Middling up
wards, while Inferior, Ordinary and Middling have
been neglected, and are difficult of sale at our
quotations below, which are all of ono quarter cent
lower than last week. On aeco nt of the rainy
weather recently experienced, which has rendered
tho roads almost impassable, tho rccoipts aro light
er than those of last week. Mixed lots aro offered
| freely, whilst white Cottons aro very scarce and in
. demand at quotations given below.
