Full Text
The Senate of the United States adjourned yesterday, sine die. Receiving no additional nominations from the President, a committee was appointed, consisting of Mr. Sanford and Mr. Dickerson, to wait upon the President of the United States, and inform him, that, having transacted all the business before it, the Senate was about to adjourn, should the President have no further communication to make.
The committee having waited upon the President, and reported that he had no further communication to make, the adjournment was moved and carried nem con.
In the sitting of the Senate, on Monday, we learn, the Message of the late President of the United States, transmitting the Instructions to the Panama Mission, was restored to the Legislative Journal from the Executive Journal, to which it had been consigned as to the stream of oblivion. But with admirable consistency, after declaring it to be public property, a motion to print it for the information even of the Members of the Senate was decided in the negative!
The real merit of that measure, however, is not thus to be hid under a bushel.—Nat. Int.
