Whereas the House of Representatives have this day, by two of their members, Messrs.

"Resolved, That the Senate will take proper order thereon, of which due notice shall be given to the House of Representatives."
Resolved, That the Secretary of the Senate notify the House of Representatives of this resolution.

Wright and Cocke be a committee on the part of the Senate, with such as the House of Representatives may join, to wait on the President of the United States and notify him that, unless he may have any further communications to make to the two Houses of Congress, they are ready to adjourn.
A message from the House of Representatives informed the Senate that the House of Representatives concur in the resolution of the Senate for the appointment of a joint committee to wait on the President of the United States, and notify him of the proposed adjournment of the two Houses of Congress, and have appointed a committee on their part.
