CONGRESS. THIRTY-THIRD C0NGRC9S?FIRST SESSION. Senate, Friday, Jan. 20, 1854. The Senate wan not in session to day. Houae of Representatives, Jan. 20, 1854. Thi* being " Private Bill day," a number of such bills, heretofore paused by tlie Senate, were taken up, read twioe by their titles, and appropriately referred. On motion, the House resolved itself into a Committee of the Whole on the state of the Union. Mr. Cutting arose, and said that it was nst unusual for persons, on whom the burden of proof rested, to t-eek to promote collateral issues. Mr Hughes hud yesterday acted upon this principle. No defenoe had been made of the ooalition he had denounced. The State of New York bad been disgraced, and republi canism bud boen discredited, by the proceed ings in that Stato. Vet his adversary had seen no subjeot worthy of debate, but those personal to the speaker. He bad been charged with having been prominently instrumental in promoting the cause of tho union of the Buffalo Free Soilcrs with the Democracy. Mr. Cutting gave a history of tho coalition in New York, and proved that his influence had ever been against suoh a coalition. He showed that, in consequence of hit* opposition to Free-Soiliem in 1848, he had boon denounc ed as a slave owner and slave breeder. Mr. C. read extracts from the Albany Argus of this tenor. He denouueed those who had as sailed him, as men capable of arouming any attitude or position that could secure to them the favor and patronage of the preseut Ad ministration. Mr. C. also explained how he aud others had been " entrapped " at Syracuse, by the loaders of the Van Buren purty, into adeeming acqui escence in the ooalition; and he denounced coalitions as ever fatal to any party. . In reply to a question by Mr. Hughes, as to how he had voted, he declared on his honor and conscience he had no remembranoe. [Laughter.] Mr. Cutting spoke of Silas Wright, andB&id that had he died before his opposition to the Mexioan War aud to the Wilmot Provifo was revealed, his name would have been unsullied upon the scroll of Democratic fame. At the President's selection of Mr. Cushing, who had so long warred against tho Democra tic party, and his intended or reported nomina tion of Mr. Dix, the opponent of great Demo cratic measures, and the friend of Abolitionism, together with his proscription of Mr. Bronson and others, the Democrats were amazed. He spoke of the intrigue by which Jaoob was blessed, and E$au defrauded ; and he deolared that the Democrats were forced to exolaim that the voice was that of General Pierce, but the haad was that of Caleb Cushing He said that it was a mistake that this was a loeal question. The Union had not bo re garded it, nor had Mr. Cushing so regarded it in his attempts at '-crushing out" the spirit of ' political independence. Ho contended that the war of the Hards and Softs was national. He acquitted Mr. Guthrie of the dosign to pro scribe. He was but the instrument of men more artful and more ounning. Mr. Guthrie was a gentleman of ability, but not of artifioe. Mr. Westbrook, of New York, a* a Soft, would have preferred not to trouble the House with a discussion of Now York politics. He would not widen the ripples of New York troubles. The Softs here act in self-defence, but may be compelled to carry the war into Africa. He said many of the "secret circular men" of 1844 were now Hards. He might name some of them, especially one now loud mouthed in opposition to suoh measures. In 1848, the editor of the National Democrat, of New York, was in favor of Van Buren. One half of the Softs in the House now were Cass men in 1848. He henoe inferred a refutation of the charge made by Mr. Cutting, that the Softs of '54 were the Free-Soilers of '48. Mr. W. traced the history of New York sinoe '48. The party was then divided between Cash and Van Buren. The Cass wing, with which Mr. W. was connected, had taken the initiative in effecting a reunion. He reviewed the conduct of Mr. Cutting, and quoted from his speech on taking the ohair as temporary President of the Syracuse Convention, in whioh Mr. Cutting expressed himself ready to g > as far us the foremost man may go in an effort to heal all party divisions. He could not have been/opposed to the reconciliation, if he was thJStTin earnest. Mr. Catting was a member of the oommitteo which framed the basis of the coalition. Mr. W. read from the resolutions of that convention to show that it was an strongly Anti-Slavery as the Van Buren Convention. The only difference was, that the latter wished to mako the question a test. He quoted from Mr. Dickinson's spoech, to prove the purpose of the Convention, wherein Mr. Dickinson de clared himself opposed to the extension of Sla very. The union of the party had been brought about, as he had said, by the Cam wing ; and in 1850, a broad and national platform had been adopted, and again-in 1852. It had been asserted that Mr. Maroy's aj - pointment in 1853 had led the Soft* away from their party, but Mr. Cutting was then in favor of that appointment. In 1853, the leading member* in caih of the two conventions wore persons who had been Cars men in 1848. The chairmen of both had be n such. It was the Hards who then de parted from the convention and from the par ty. The resolutions then adopted were nation* al; they sanctioned the Baltimore platform in full?the Fugitive Slave Law and all. The separation had been made, Mr. West, brook said, because Mr. Maroy, and not Mr. Dickinson, had boon called to the Cabinet of General Pierce. He read from a speech of Mr. Cooley, of New York, and from the editorial oolumns of the Albany Argus, to prove the determination of the Hards to oppose the Democratic President, and to elevate to office -A bolition, Woolly headed, Seward Whigs; while the Softs were the truly National Democrats, opposed to Slavery agita tion, and acting in good faith with their brother Democrats throughout the Union. They were the Union Democrat* of the State. Mr. Walbridge, of New York, said that, as a new member, Tie would prefer to keep out of the debate ; but he felt called upon to speak, and to speak with freedom, of public measures and of public men. But he would speak of National affairs. He would remember who sent him here, for what purpose, and what they would expeot of him. He would leave the questions oP New York conventions where they were, and would take up the National question on the 4th of March, 1853, when President Pieree had uttered, as by inspiration, the words of his Inuaugural. Mr. Walbridge sketched briefly the early history of the country, and the principles by which it was then guided. On the 4th ot March last, he had seen a President inaugura ted who had been elevated by the voice of 27 States to his high position, upon the billows of the great Compromise measures and principles of 1849. But what were his first acts? A Secession ist was called to his ftibinent. Another mem ber of that Cabinet, a gentleman from Massa chusetts, of great abilities and experience, was? but be had been dworibedby Mr. Walbridgo'a colleague Our report here dosed, at half past 2 o'clock.

ON or boforo tho 1st of January, 1854, tbu Execu tive Committee of the New \ork State Temper ranee Society will issue the first number of a Month ly Temperance Journal, under the title of " The Pro UIBITIOH18T." 1 i H Si/.k?It will bo printed on a double medium sheet, making eight quarto pages, of four columns to a page; and, excluding advertisements, each number will contain an amount of reading matter ei|ual at least to that furnished by our largt-r-sized daily jour nals, or to that of an ordinary duodecimo volume ot 100 pages. Its Ojjject.?'To advocate tho Cause of Temper ance generally, and especially the Legislative Prohibi tion of the Traffic in Intoxicating Beverages, to pre pare the minds of tho masses for such Prohibition, by showing its expediency and Necessity, and to secure, by all the influence it may legitimately exert, tho vigorous enforcement of Prohibitory Laws when ob tained. Its Fiki.O.?Dealing with gonoral principles, with arguments alike applicable to every community whero the traffic exists and with facta illustrative of these arguments and principles, the paper will bo National in its spirit, in its scope, in its purpose, and, wc trust, it will bo National in its circulation and influence. Suoh is our aim and expectation. Wo desire to soe the Principle of Prohibition established in State after State, till it becomes the rocognisod policy of tho Na tion. It is our ambition to bear a part in this groat work, and to this end Tub Prohibitionist is estab lished, not as tho organ of a society merely, but of a Great Reformatory Movement.

The Pro hibitionist is designed for circulation (instead of tracts) among tho indifferont and tho hostile. For this purpose it is put ut a price so low as to enable the friends of Temperance ik every school district, by coinbinod action and at an inconsiderable expense, to place a copy in each family that will consent to re ceive it.
