How Congress Received the Message.

A special dispatch to the N. Y. Tribune, dated Washington, 6th, says:

The quiet attention given to the reading of the President's Message in the House was broken with applause over the passage, "Maryland is secure to Liberty and Union for all the future." A laugh received the sly bit that on the distinct issue of Union or no Union the politicians have shown the instinctive knowledge that there is no diversity of purpose among the people. The applause was hearty and loud over the manly passage, 'If the people should, by whatever mode or means, make it Executive duty to re-enslave such persons, another and not I must be their instrument to perform it.' But the concluding words of the Message,"the war will cease on the part of the Government whenever it shall have ceased on the part of those who began it." was received by the Union members with a demonstration of true satisfaction that was full of significance. The Democrats sat sullen in their seats, leaving the printed copies of the Message, which had been distributed when the reading commenced, unopened on their desks.
