There is now no excitement, properly
speaking, in Congress. The temper of
the Senate is so calm shut even 31r. Se
ward's speech did not rifile it. There
was much curisity to hear Gov. Seward's
views, and he. was. tlerefore, listened to.
His remarks surpri-sed even those who
were 'prepared for a very tbr.a speech.
lie ii neither a ple:asing nor a forcil e
speaker. liiis poidon, as an lur a anti
slavery man was fully snatainel. lie be
gan by shoning that C:ahf'rnia wa; Vi- I
tied to admission, as a State. with her olio
Constitution,-nd he declare.d that. 0a ier
the circunstances. he woulJ vote for her
admission, even if she toleratat davery
by her Constitution. itt he would not,
as-an, eq'aivalent far the ndmicion taf Cali
furnia, consent to bring in ew sl ave State,
or tolerate. slavery in the Distric'. lie
war'ned gentlemen that no compro mise
would succeed. anl that Califoraia ist
come into the Uion, without anly equliva
leuts. The law for the surreider of fuii
live slaves. he tlid the Sen:te, woild never
loexecuted. It was to operate on he ,
" Northern people, and they would never'
allow it to be enforced. Herein, ra. Se
w ard concurs with ar. Masnn auait.r.
Calhoun. ..
.31 r. Seward utterly repudiate.l the cmn'
pact with Tens for the aadmisioan. with
her consenl.t, o new shitve States fromi her
territory. No powe r on tarib should pre
vent him, he said, from prootiting eman-l
cipation wherever it coulb be done l aw
fully and cotitutiotally.
As to dissolution of the Unin, i et r
gued that it was itponiilde. The Union
uas kept together by necessity ; and,
whenever a breach shdld be made, it was
to be between the East anI t he Waest.
The line of diviianta was never to ba"t vctn
North A'lantic .*tal South Alar:tie States.
Mr. Webshter's views take tell in all the
cities north of is.
The Ohio leg'latare is ahont to pas a
law making it a peaal o'e-Tne for anv per.
son to assist in the arrest and dte-ation or
delivery of a fugitive shave. 1;",t a boil
has been in-toduced into ti- La'islature cf
Peonsylvanaia relicalin all her laws ni
that subject.
When Congress is to begin the urliarv
business of the ses'ioi is nwtv a matti-r if
earnest inquiry. B3y the 30.h Jine, the
Appropriation Bill ou:;ht to pass. An
effiort will he made this neck to gaet up the
appropriate bills.
To-day, we are to have a tnewe-d pra
posi- ion liar a Coumitnee of thirieen. to

M~ar. hoale also oppIosedl the itiomn to
take uap the resouluiios. A few days lagat
te Senator had stated that this moationf
was mades after a conisula:iin with amany
>f' the leadinig memibers of the Senaiate.
Now if the letaders of' the Seaaaie wer.e toa

'Mr. Battler said he did not n ish his vote
to be misunderstood, for 'althaough lie tih
je-ed to the appointmeoiat of a Coimmit tee
now, he wouldinOtOMpose it finalaly. If
the Committee were ib lbe now' rrgiinizedl,a
all the various 'resolutions would be re-I

Mr. Foote explained that' hiq motion'
was confinedi to te resolutiontsotf Mr. Bell,.
Mr. Buttler said, if .the Comnmiatee were
raised other resolutitons would no doubt lae
referred to it, and it was very probable thnt
Mr', Hale would talso move to intrsaet thaeI
. Co'mititee on the sutbject ofilahe Wilmaot
Proviso.
Mr. Foote said he thought no main of
sensie would sendl the WVihmt proviso to a
Compromise Commaritree ate instructiaon.
Mr. Butler said he dial ntot .know hoiw f'ar
the term'of "asense" would be applhicable,
but he believed such a mnotiona would be
made.
The further considlerationa oh' .the subiject

In the Ilouase, after some diassion. a
resolution wvas adorpted, authoiinet thae 1
printing of 50,(00 copies of that portion
f:the Paient Oflice relating to mechanics,
lul 100,000 copies uf the agricultural por
ion of the Report.
T'e Prsi lent's Californin Message was
lien taken up inl Committee of the Whole.
Mlr. Guorm-mc, of indian, took the floor,
and coniended that as slavery' iaT beesi
boli.hed by .iltxico herself. there is no
i ecvesity fur the passage of the Wilnot
Provi;'. 11e did no't believe the Union to
ibe itin m r, and thught it could he dis
si4ved on!y by ctinuiioed aggres 'ns on
li-, Couituionl. When Sojuthern,-rstalk
,f resistai e, 1 understood it as foreible
r.i.tance. and the firsi over act was trea
a,:i. Tie oeare->t approach to this was
i h(e Georgia .egislature, % here a mem
ber had propiosed it Ilevy 30.000 mten. But
if tili 11,e menro shol:l le levied fur the pur
ot ie;siri;; the consiituted authorities

liti's if dho Siate, it cwould he treason.
fir. BIai ler, of Conn.. followed and m:de1
- party speech. it wliie he denounced the
policy tdf the South with reteri to the nd
mnission of slave States. ie said Ihat fror
the last 1.5 years the Siith has been seek
in, an acquihi ion of teiritory with tle
sole purpose of extendiog slavery.
This delbate will, it is 3nderstood, Cn
tinue until some definite. action on the
s:very q- estiton shall -have been had by
the Sennie. The general impression still
is, that a conpromise will ahortly be el*

S
DEATH OF CHANCELLOR JA3ES
C. CALDWELL.
It becomes our nielancholy office- to re
cord the decease of Chancellor CaIldwell,
whose carihly career closed on the evening
of the I Ith instant, at his residence near
ibis place. Although we were aware that
his helth was feeble, we were nor pre.
pared to realize so sudden a termination
of his mortal life with all .its honurs, use
fuliess, benevolence anil virtue. 6 ad and
unexpected, however, as it is, the fiat of
the Almighty came, and his days amongst
men are endeJ. In paying a hasty tribute
to his memory. we feel fully susiained in
saying that the State has lust in the death
of the bite Chancellor. a brilliant ornament
of her Judiciary, to whose head of wisdom
and heart of pmity and virttie. the ad
miinistretion of her laws, her puhlic honor
and fame, were tist safely comtritted.
lie was indeed a bright star in her judicial
;.daxy. heaming ever in mildest, and yet
most fascitia tin g I ustre. and attracting the
foid and co fliding gaze of the people.
whom h." had hmtg served with ability and
perfect fidelity in many public relariotis.
Chancellor Cahdwell was of Irish par.
eniage, and his paternal ancestors were
distinguished fir their just and inditiant
oppositi n to the tyranny of ligland, the
corrupt schemes of t at nmhitionus Island.
to detroy the National Parliament of their
native country, an'l break her into submtis
sin to foreign law givers. This opposi
tion wast particularly signalized by the ut
coqnguorable zeaI amb spirit of his pat"roul
grandfather, a lember of the lost [rish
Parliament, who came to America 17- in
search of that liberty which he felt he
could no longer enjoy seeurely in the cher
ished bland of his nativity. and setiled in
what is now the rich ai fluotishing Dis
trict of Net berry. in 'his State.
The Chanrllor's fther was his second
son. who died at an early age, nd.l whilst
yet the liriir was laving in our C.allege
the sure lironmlations of future usefulness
and fame. Graduating at an early age,
the distinguished deceased studied law,
was ad-::itted to the practice about the
year 1811) or 1S20, and gave earnest of
his future success in his profession. I av
in, great cuthusiasm of mind, and culti
vating a laudable atmbition to be service
to his State, lie sout , a soat in the Lou.
islature in 1S3), during a peri:ll of great
political excitetnat, was elected, and came
to Cite General Asslimily ti achieve such
triutnphs as hi, high intellectual and pro
fessiuoal endowments anad the noblest mior.
tl quiali'ies jistly prumised him. Ihvinig
been previoiusly elected by the In.ci~l;i
ture 1riadier General of the l0th Brig de
in Deceriber. 1635, he was electei 4olics
