McClernai'U. ?i|" Illinois, called for the regular order ol business, via: The report frooi the select coup mittee, made yesterday, by the Chairman, Mr. Stanly. Mr. Fitch, of Indiana, having the floor, prortnnil.%/] i-ordv \rs. tho rnrrtorl't: miulp VPtfpnljlV hv-Mr. Evans, of Maryland, in reference to his assaults against Mr. Ritchie, and also in reference to the subject matter of the report [ft justified Messrs. Ritchie and Sengstack, in refusing to answer the questions put to them.? And he pronounced Mr. Evans' denunciations of Mr. Ritchie as a "hoary headed slanderer' and a "swindler" as highly indecorous, to say the least of it, when made, as it was, by the gentleman from Maryland, yesterday, against one so much bis senior, who was not in a position to answer such an attack when it was made. Mr. Evans replied, and deeming the remarks of the gentleman from Indiana, as having a personal bearing towards him, he questioned him as to his intention. Mr. Fitch said that he had no intention o! making a personal issue with the gentleman from Maryland, bat only to reply to his remarks uu ^covcuittj;. The morning hour having expired, the House proceeded to the consideration of the Texas boundary bill, as the unfinished business of yesterday, to which Mr. Boyd, of Kentucky, had moved an amendment providing for the establishment o^Territorial Governments in New Mexico and Utah Territories. Mr. Meade, of Virginia, rose to a question ol order. He maintained that uneler-the 27th rule, this'hill having had.its second reading, was not now the lirst business in order, but should take its place behind those bills which had previously, received their secoud reading, the House not having committed the bill. The Speaker overruled the point of order. Mr. Thompson, of Mississippi, appealed from the decision, and in some remarks, argued against it Mr. Ashmun, of Massachusetts, moved to lay the appeal on the table. Carried. Mr. Burt, of South Carolina, rose and stated that the Speaker, on yesterday, erroneously, he lit*lUived. dewrived him of the floor when he rose and claimed it to uiovu to commit the bill.? That motion, he said,.had the precedence under the 27th rule, to amotion to amend. He therefore made it a point of order that he was now, as he was then, entitled to move to commit the bilL The Sjteaker overruled the point of order.? He admitted that the motion to commit was the precedent motion, but if he (the Speaker) should happen to assign the floor to some member who should move to amend instead of to commit the bill?as he had 'done, the proper construction of the rule would uot authorize him * ?~ IU remvu il IMUIIUIJ IU CUmmil, aiuiuu^u a Iiictub;r should rise at the same moment and announce such a purpose.; Mr. Curt appealed from the decision, and maintained that no recognition of another member could properly deprive him of the right to make the first iriolibo in order under the rule , Mjr.

He thought it was time they should proceed to voting and stop talking. Mr. Clingiiiari of North Carolina moved the following amendment: And be it further enarteti, That all the portion of territory acquired from Mexico by the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, bounded as follows: By a line commencing Fii the Pacific ?? 1UI a',,. ?u !

Mr. McDonnell ot Indiana objected to the amendment as not being in order. The Speaker decided it to be in order on the "J 1 4I..4 il.? ! ._ ! _ 1 game grounu unu uie original amendment was received by him. Mr. Allen of Massachusetts, appealed from the decision. Mr. Doer of .N ew York moved to lay the apruuI An flit. t>ililo Pnrriiir! nvoj 1 0<S n-ti-s f!?l Mr. Clingman rose and stated fur the inl'ormation of those who iniyiit not have ijeard the amendment read, the purport of his proposition, and his object in moving ft After describing the limits of the territory which it embraced, he proceeded to show the propriety of giving that large territory West of New Mexico and South of Utah, an outlet 011 the Pacific. There was ample evidence, in the proceedings of the California Convention, that the delegates from that portion of California Sooth of the Siera Nevada, which was about the line of 35 30, were opposed to the institution of a State Govern ment at tins tune, i ins l:iet, taken in connection with their being separated by a mountainous region and the large territory drained by the Colorado, being as yet uncxplort'd, ought to induce them lu pause before allowing it to be incorporated in the proposed State of California. lie was in correspondence with persons there, and, from information in his possession, he believed not only that slaves were already there, hut that slave labor could he better and more profitably employed there than free labor. Others might think that to cut off' South California would but lead to its creation into another free State. He did not think so. If t; is Union was to be continued in the spirit in ' which it was formed, in providing for peopling our Territorics with our swarming population, we should accommodate the Georgians as well ' as the New Yorkers. Their domestic habits and customs were not the same, and the greater portion of each would not assimilate with the other. It would be the part of wisdom then ' .ie ?vul! sic intiti/ia ti* fill*.iv flu.

If those | "i twsof God," so often alluded to, shall forbid ! i him to increase and multiply there, so be it.? j He must then abandon it unless he can conj form to those whom they favor. He did not, ' | however, from the little information he possess ed of that country, and no one knew much of it as yet. doubt that African slave labor would be the best and the cheapest. Where such labor existed there was greater equality among ' the white population, but where white labor existed there was greater inequality, as one half ' must perform the drudgery and menial offices r for the other half. Mr. Ashmen, of Massachusetts, moved the previous question. Mr. Thompson, of Mississippi, made, as a point order, a question whether, as the Texas bill provided for the issuance by the executive of $10,000 in five per cent stock, on the accep* 1-a... ? k., fl\.*...= I UllJCtJ ul UJtT JJIUpUMIIVil uv ivauo, ?muuuvtuttlier action by this House, it was not equivalent to an appropriation which could require the bill to go to the committee of the whole House. The Speaker decided that he did not so consider it. Although the bill would render the ' House liable te make such an appropriation hereafter, this stock provision was not technically an appropriation. The demand for the previous question was negatived. Ayes 74, nays 107. Mr. McClernard, of Illinois, moved to commit the bill and called the previous question. Mr. Root, of Ohio, moved to instruct the committee to affix the Wilinot Proviso to the bill. He was in favor of tlie House coining to this test question openly and fairly?the record of yeas and nays on this motion would smoke out the doe-faces on both sides of the line. Mr. McClcrnard denounced these repeated attempts to enact this anti-slavery proviso.? Slavery could never exist in this country. Yet he should not shrink from giving effect to his opinion l?y voting against it. Mr. Brooks, of New York, said he was ready to face the music or be "smoked out as a doeface" now as at any other time. But he did not see why they should vote this abstraction ifi the bill when it was almost impossible that it could pass the Senate. Nor did he perceive, the use of it as it was well known that the laws i f 1.. 1 1 1 i* i ol L?ou lorevcr cxciuueu bin very iroiu mat territory. Mr. Brown of Mississppi, remarked that if the gentleman from Illinois supposed that the Southern people were in the pursuit of shadows he was egregiouslv mistaken. It made no difference to them by what means they were exclu* ded from a participation in the enjoyment of territory common to all?whether by "Wilmot Provisos" "executive provisos," or by sanctioning the unconstitutional and irregular proceedings of a portion of the inhabitants of these territories. The enp was just as distasteful to tbem by whatsoever mode it was presenieu. They asked only lor tliat which they could right fully and equitably claim in common with all in the Union, tint if a common particiption was denied them, they demanded and would insist upon a fair division of these Territories.? They could not forget that they paid a large share of the blood and treasure which they cost, and they would not forgive those who should roh them of it. The conversion of certain gentlemen to the ' nonintervention" doctrine, was attended by circumstances that deprived them of the credit due to those who-ubandoned a wrong for a right The South could not now enjoy the better portion of til? territory because other hands and means than the intervention of this Proviso exeluded them from it. And the forbearance of recently conveited non-interventionists was of no account, as it was uesulcss to them and useless to us. The gentleman from Now York had harped on the conjunction of certain Northern and Southern members in opposition to these comrir/uitiw/i tnitnciii'iie ?ic lltr??v ?i ri? hiinnotl U'liioli ho seemed lo take great delight in illustrating by naming together all sorts of dissimilar and disgusting objects. There might he such a conjunction as that of the travler and the highwayman who demands his purse, And if the gentleman from N. York should come in between them and attempt to compel the travler to give up one-half its contents and the robber to consent to 'alio it by way of" compromise," is it wonderful that they should be found together resisting him? 15ut what sort of a conjunction wo dd lie exhibited when the question of the admission of California comes to a vote? in what dark association would the gentleman and his "fellow compromisers" he then found ? Me would leave it for a future record of the ayes and nays to tell in this House us it had told in the Senate. -Mr. Clarke of New \ork obtained the fToor when, On motion, the House adjourned. On the 30th ult. the House at one o'clock resumed the consideration of the resolution of Mr. Stanly, to direct the Speaker to issue his writ to the Sergeant-at-Anus to bring to the bur of the Houso Thomas Ritchie and C. P. Songstack, to answer for a contempt of the authority of the House hv relusino' to testify he. ? ^ - -J -0 ^ lore a committee of the House in regard to the coriexpondeuU of tlie Union, who held ollice under the late administration, and also who of said ofliee-holders contributed money to defeat the election of (Jen. Taylor. Mr. Schcnck being entitled to the floor,spoke during un hour. He insisted that the contumacious witnesses should he comnellcd to answer to the interrogatories propounded to'them, without any conditions attached, as was proposed by Mr. Sengstack. lie suggested that the resolution be so amended that the writ be made returnable on the 2d of December next, as there was not time now to dispose of the matter.? HI* repeated that it* was a matter of defiance of the House, and that it should be disposed of in a serious way as a matter of principle, howev ????tt??1?H??OBMMi? er trivial in itself, the investigation might be. Mr. Carter wished to Jinow whether it would he in order to have the writ returnable before the magistrate. Mr. Stanton, of Kentucky, one of the committee, explained that Mr. Ritchie did not intend to treat with contempt the authority of the committee or the House. After answering before the committee, he left it with the impression that the committee was satisfied with the T answer. He was surprised to learn the action 1 of the committee after he left. t <2..!.i o...? ...?? ? -?i i . uujicijl i\ auiu iiiilt itji. uii uiiic; ? aa vcij t courteous towards the committee, but still he t was a contumacious witness in a technical sense. Mr. Meade denounced the whole proceeding of the H nuse, authorizing the appointment of an t inquisitorial Committee to extort from an editor s the names of such office holders as were cor- | respondents for his paper, as most unjust to in- t dividual right, and dangerous to the liberty of j. the press and ot the people. He maintained that a man did not become a slave bv accept- j1 ing office under the Government, and that he ' had the right, as a freeman, to dispose of his s time, not belonging to the Government, as he i pleased and to dispose of his money received 1 from the Government as he pleased. i Ho deemed it the duty of the House to re- t trace its action in this matter, because it was a anti-republican in principle, especially improper j as theinformation'proposed to be extorted could t not afford matter for legislative action. The judiciary, he maintained, would discharge a man upon such an arrest. He rejoiced that the editor had refused to answer such impertinent questions as had been directed by the Honse. Mr. Carter moved a substitute for the original resolution and amendment as follows: Resolved, That the subject be recommitted ^ ^ ? *t. .? tmflt ci 4/\ rn*AnO/i/l I 1 I IU MIC CUIIIIIIIUCC) n 1111 1IJ3LI UUHWIIO IW j/i uvvv,u by the ordinary process of investigation to the discharge of their important duties. The previous question was moved and sus- , taincd. 1 Mr. Stanly was about to make a concluding speech on the subject, but Mr. P. King, of New York, moved that the t House proceed to the consideration of the bnsi- t uess on the Speaker's table. It was carried in i the allirmative, and ? The Texas Boundary bill and the proposed ( amendments were taken up. f Mr. Clarke, of New York, who was entitled ^ to the floor, replied to the remarks of Mr. Brooks, of yesterday. He said that witji him and his constituents the Wiknot Proviso, or more properly, the Proviso of '87. was a senti- f mentor an abiding principle. He alluded to ^ the abandonment of the Proviso by Mr. Brooks, and said that the gentleman in the New Con volition introduced resolutions strongly enforcing the Wilmot Proviso, and that it should be 1 forever applied to our territories; and that now 1 he had abandoned it because, as be alleges, it a was merely used then for the purpose of arrest- 1 ing the progress of the American arms in Mex- { ico. j Why, said Mr. Clarke, the Mexican war bad (l terminated six mouths before the resolutions were penned and introduced into that Convention. Mr. Clarke then examined into the claim L of Texas, to show that she had no right to the c territory claimed by her and in dispute between 1 her and New Mexico. He, for one, should vote against paying her a dollar for land that did not belong to her. ^ Mr. Gorman defended the right of Texas to c all the territory east of the Rio Grande, coin- v preliending Santa Fe and all the inhabited pur- v tion of Now Mexico, or nearly so. lie viewed i i the junction of the extremists of the North ami South?the junction of ultra slavery men and the free soil men against this bill, as pnrtcutivu e of great evil to the country. lie advocated the c passage of the bill, and maintained that it could s be passed if it were not for the New York rep- } representatives, who were so acting as to place the responsibility upon the President of using, or not, in a certain contingency, the military power of the country against Texas. j He warned them that their conduct was leading this country to a civil war. Before conclu- ^ ding, however, should civil war come, which lie J' prayed God to avert, he would be found where ^ the Hag of his country was found, lie con ^ eluded by denouncing the >V ilinot rroviso as p having been brought forth by ingenuity, and f that it had had an iniquitous race. a Mr. Daniel obtained the floor, but yielded to c a motion that the House adjourn, and it accordingly adjourned. THE BILL IN THE HOUSE. 0 " Ion," writing to the Baltimore Sun 011 Sat- 0 unlay, says: " There arc at least a hundred and twenty members, Northern and Southern, who now ?; ixd'use to pay ten million^, and at the same time t yield what they claim to be the l ights of Texas t on one side, and of New Mexico, as a free soil territory, on tho other. We uro at the mercy ' of this combination of opposite extremes. ^ They have the majority now, and it remains to 8 be seen how long they will retain it. v "The Northern opponents of the bill now 1 avail themselves of tho attitude of Texas as a 5 reason for not voting for the bill. As Mr. j Clarke, of New York, said to-day, in his speech c they are determined not to "pay ten millions s upon compulsion, if money were as plenty as blackberries.*' Then the northern whigs, of whom Mr. Clarke seems to be leader, have de- ? tcrmined to leave tho whig President in the ^ lurch. Tho President has taken a position which will lead to a civil war, unless the ques- 11 tion should be, as lie recommends, settled, or s to be disgraceful and ludicrous backing out on Is lii.s part. There is oneway to get out of the n difficulty ; keep our : -n millions and give Texas the territory in dispute ! " It is much to be apprehended that the House w ill agree to do nothing except to ad mit CaliforiHa, and in that case the agitation of j the South will increase, and at the next session discord w ill reign in both houses of Congress, 1 to the utter destruction of wise and calm legislation.

Night came, but no moon?and the spirit of the storm septned maddened to fury, as he drove his cloudy chariot o'er the chaos of darkness.
