8TH OF JANUARY.
Mr. MARCH offered the following:
Resolved, That on this day rendered ever memorable and glorious by the victory achieved at New Orleans over the trained armies of a foreign foe, by American citizen soldiers under the lead of Andrew Jackson, we here renew our pledges of loyalty to the national constitution and Government, and of unalterable devotion to the Union of all the States, and adopt as our motto the living words of the hero of New Orleans: "The Union, it must and shall be preserved."
Resolved, That in honor of the day, and of the living and departed heroes whose deeds have made their names immortal, the Senate do now adjourn until to-morrow morning at nine o'clock.
On motion of Mr. RAY, all after the word "adjourn," in the last resolution, was stricken out, and the resolutions as amended were adopted--yeas 28, nays 19.
