A it hh TS' PKRIOR a I PAKTLUW, J1ILL CO. C'ONGUESS. TOR THE ALEXANDRIA Senate, Tuesday, May 8. After the transaction of the usual morn ing hour business, The Senate took up the Territorial resolutions of Mr Davis. Mr.

Clingman, of N. continuing his speech of yesterday, urged that it was the duty of the Southern democrats to rally and uphold the hands of their Northern brethren, who had for years borne the brunt of the battle. To despise them because of their broken ranks, would be ungrateful. What would have been said if Scott had taunted the Palmetto regiment with the suialiriess of its numbers, because it had dared the thickJest of the battle, and left tlioir brethren in I the bloody Held. The Cincinnati platform was good enough for was good enough for IS(it).

lie deiended the course i of the majority of the Charleston Convention. Mr. Benjamin, of said that the SenI ator from North Carolina seemed to think I principles were of no importance in politics, It seemed as though he thought that princi1 pies were useless baggage, and that the horse would run swifter and reach the goal sooner without such burden. Whan the Kansas bill was proposed, the Democrats in caucus found they differed in opinion in regard to the power of the Territorial legislature. It was then agreed as a compromise that Congress should confer all its powers in relation to territorial government upon the legislature, and leave the decision to the Supreme Court.

The decision had been made. And now, it I 1 was said, nothing was decided, that the case was not before the court, lie appreciated the effort of the Northern Democracy, and was as grateful to them as the North Carolinian. The democrats that he appreciated, were those whose principles proclaimed the truth where it was unpopular, and who stood by their principles at all hazards. In than six weeks itlcmen would see the party re-unite on tiie basis of principle, no more spread a banner that was not the same in all sections, and make all democrats of one mind, one heart, and one tongue, adding another to the list of examples that honesty is the best policy. When a sound platform should be adopted, lie would support any man who could honorably stand upon it.

he had no choice between a man who wished to take my rights openly, and one who is willing to see them take them by stealth, if that platform is not given, one Democratic Stale will follow the seceders. Every man feels that the nations' life is at issue. Never had his heart so shrunk as when he heard that the Democratic only National about to be rent in twain. Was Washington's warning to become history. The country was divided geographically, was it thaithe Democratic party was to follow in the footsteps of the Whig party to ruin, lie did not believe so.

It was shown in the convention that not only a majority of States, but a majority dthijalca was in favor ol the platform which was set aside. Tactics were used by skillful managers; all delegations in which the majority was for the platform of the seceders, were allowed to vote per capita, while delegations whose majorities opposed it, were compelled to vote as a unit. In other words the minorities both for and against the platform were counted against it. Mr. l'ugh, of Ohio, wished the States to be named.

Mr. your own mate. Mr. Mr. and others.

Mr. l'ugh disputed the correctness of this assertion, lie said that the South was not unit the platform which had been set aside. Mr. Benjamin said that it' the vote had been taken rapitu, the seecders platform would have been adapted, lie believed a large body of the Northern democracy wenprepared to stand upon it. 1 thev had been stricken down, had it not been on account ol the double dealing pursued, li tin; Northern Democrats had blazoned their principles oil the banners, could it have been worse lor them than it is WYuid it imt have been in a better position.

To attempt to deceive the North would be dishonorable; it would be unsuccessful, lie did not tin- demand Mr. Cliugmau as opposed to these principles, but only opposed to announcing them. He concluded by an eloquent appeal for the Union of the Democratic party upon constitutional grounds. Mr. tlreen moved that the Senate go into Executive session, but gave way to Mr.

Douglas, ol 111., who said that he would have spoken yesterday, but that he knew the tloor had been assi gned to Mr. Clinginau. He now gave notice that on Thursday next be would reply to the bill of indictment trained by the Senator from Mississippi, and defend his the organization and platlorm of the Democratic party. That Senator had announced that he would give no quarter to squatter sovereignty, lie asked no quarter. When the battle was ended it would be time lor the victor to talk about quarter.

Mr. Davis, of expressed his surprise that any Senator, especially the Senator from Illinois, should take upon him the special guardianship of "squatter was not the author ot it. Why should he vaunt himself its peculiar champion Other Senators were known to favor it. Mr. Douglas responded, that while he did not take upon himself the special guardian- ship of the doctrine, the public well knew at whom the arrows that struck it were aimed.

No one was deceived, and he had simply given notice that he intended to defend himself. Mr. Wade, of Oiiio, gave notice that he intended beginning with to-morrow to the homestead bill. Mr. Davis wished a day to be lixed for a I vote on his resolutions.

Mr. Johnson, of in a short speech advocated the protection of slavery in the territories, and the Hoiuestea i bill. The Senate then, on motion ol Mr, Ureen of went into executive session, and after some time spent therein adjourned. House of Representatives. On motion of Mr.

Millsoii, the House resolved itself into Committee of the Whole (Mr. Washburne, of in the chair) for the purpose of concluding the debate on the tariff bill. Mr. Houston, ot Ala, proceeded to address the committee. Messrs.

rpHE SUPERIORITY OF KIRBY'S AMERJL ICAN HARVESTER, over all others, will become more obvious by looking at its several superior points in detail, and then considering that all these separate excellencies are comhiued in one MACHINE, in the most simple and effective manner. In some of these excellencies it it? entirely unequalled, and in none of them is it surpassed. While other MACHINES may equal it in some of its desirable qualities, we can safely say there is not another MACHINE iu the world which COMBINES ALL THE EXCELLENCIES that are found combined in KIRBY'S AMERICAN HARVESTER. We would call the attention of Farmers to the following facts: 1. is the most perfect Combined Mower and Reaper in use; better than any single mower as a mower, and better than any single reaper as a re'aper.

2. is the strongest and the lightest; being made eniirely ol Iron, except pole, sent and platform. The tingcr-bar is of wrought angle iron, of groat strength and lightness. 3 has a Revolving Track-Clearer, which is the only track-clearer that will thoroughly separate the cut from the uncut grass, and without leaving the cut grass in bunches. 4 one-third i.ess draft THAN A.W OTHER MACHINE.

5 prkssuke is made upon the horses' NECKS, AND NO SIDE DRAFT. ability to work on rough ground is not equalled by any machine yet The linger-bar working up and down, indepen dent of the driving wheel, enubles the machine to go through deep furrows and ditches, among stones and bogs, over knolls and gopher hills, where no other machine could follow it. It will work from 2 to 18 inches high. 7. can be use I in mowing either with or without the reel.

8. both mowing and reaping, the positions of the driver aud raker are the most convenient and easy, enabling them to do thoir labor with hut little uxertion. the machine is in motion the driver can, by means of a lever, throw the cutters out and into gear, and by another lever he can raise and lower the finger-bar to pass obstructions, or move from field to field. 1U. is easily managed, marvelously simple, well built, compact, not liable to get out of order, made of the best materials, Babbet, metal boxes, and Is furnished with double trees, neck yoke and extras complete.

We would request all those who are in want of a REAPER and MOWER, to send for a Circular descriptive of the MACHINE, before making other arrangements. The MACHINES arts iu all cases warranted to give satisfaction, or no Manufactured by M. Osborne A 145, Pratt street, Baltimore. Address KNOX General Agents, ap for Alexandria. Va.
