c1 - 1 a. "ji! u Corrcsjpomlcnce of Charleston Courier < "Washington, Feb. 18?10 p. m. I write in the Hall of Representatives, ' the 7/ouse has been in session ten hours, \ and being likely to sit ten hours more. | The strugglo between the North and South has begun, this day. When and "\vhcrc it will end God only knows. This was the day, under the rules of the .//ouse, for the call of States for Resolutions. Mr. Doty, of Wisconsin, ottered n resolution to refer the California Constitution to the Committee on Terri ones, with instructions to report a bill I forthwith to admit California into the Union on an equal footing with the original States, and upon the terms proposed by her. The previous (question was moved and seconded. At this point, the Southern men took a stand, which j has been frequently referred to bv me as i the posture they intended to take. They ! resorted to Parliamentary tactics to ob- i struct the action of the 7/ouse. 3/otions were made, in succession, to lay the resolution on the table, to call the House, to adjourn, <fec., and upon each of these motions tho yeas and nays were demanded and ordered. Theso motions wero re- i pented during the day, and now and then varied by n motion from a Southern member to be excused from voting, and a demand for the yens and nays on that. Occasionally a Southern member would make a point of order, and no matter what the decision of the Chair might be, there would be an appeal and a demand for the yeas and navs. The Southern members had more Ihnn a suificicnt number on cveiy count to demand the yeas and nays. Finally, 110 count was demanded, it being taken for granted that the (Southern men would not give way; and the House, as soon as one call of the rool is finished, goes 011 with another, upon a mere motion. The number of members in favor of the admission of California, voting in the Housc to-day, is about one hundred and twenty to seventy. The majority in favor ui wringing vjamorma iinotne union may be said to bo about fifty. It does not follow that every one of the majority is in favor of bringing California into the Union, unconnected with any other measure. It is well known and understood here, that, if California be admitted as a separate measure, it will defeat an)' compromise. vlftcr the North have got what they want, they will not trouble themselves further. The &outh is therefore determined to resist the admission of California, and resist it in this, the only practicable way. There is now less hope of a compromise than beret "fore: it is feared that the resolutions of the New York General Assembly have driven home the last nail. fpi 1..1: ?i * - 1 * - iui9 ju uiu ouiutu; v.-number, to-day. It Mfempposod tha* lie will upcak thjs week, Washington, Feb. 20. The time seems to have como for very cnlm find deliberate counsels upon the miAtatinna nnnriinrs lifihvflfln llirt NnHli ahd tho /South. ^'hc (lay for severe and elever oratory, on either side, ns fur ns Congress is concerned, seems to have passed by, Hut, still, \vc shall probiblv i nu&u resoiunuuH, unicss couiueracica Dy f (he public voicc, will go far to prevent f nny conciliation. At the same time, there arc some favorable signs in j?ennHt sylvania, Connecticut, Massachusetts, N. York, and Indiana, of a disposition to ar- i Hk? rest further agitation. K I am very glad to learn that Mr. Web p* ster intends to offer a plan, which will be acceptable to the South; and that he will have the support of Gen. Greene, of Rhodo Island, and Mr. Phelpes, of Vermont, and that his scheme of compromise will command a majority in the Senate. He is willing to keep California back, until the whole question is settled, and to settle it by one biH. The particular features of his plan have been shown to some members and Senators from the South and approved. Mr. Webster will not probably bring forward his projcct for some days. In regard to the struggle now going on in the 1 louse, neither party shows any disposition to give way. ylssoon as this day is over, Doty's resolution will cease to be in order. It cannot again come up till the next resolution day?two weeks ^ hence. Mr. 3/cClcrnand, of Illinois, Chairman g '? of the Committee of Foreign ylffaira, has ^w..uw?wvv* nitu UK) UUUUlirill 1I1CI1U& U|)UU tl>e following project, which Mr. McG. is now laboring to render acceptable to the * iVorthy to wit: Resolved, rhat the Committee on 1 ei ritories be instructed to report a bill, without delay, providing for the admission of California as a $tatc into the Union of the United States. Also, a bill to legalize the Territorial Governments of New Mexico and Deserct j ns adopted by the people of said Territories respectively, so far as the provisions of the same are consistent with the Constitution of the United States; and to provido for the future admission ofsaM Territories, as States, into the Union of the United States?leaving the question of boundary between Texas and New Mexico, open for eventual decision, by the Supremo Court of the United States. Mi' ci ?/"it lmvc nothing else but that, for sonic time to come. I learn that tho action of the Southern members, yesterday, was spontaneous, and not by any preconcert. They did not ntilicipcuo tho motion of Mr. Doty, i but his movement was immediately followed by ji motion to adjourn. The struggle continued till nf:er twelve o'clock at night, when it was decided by the Speaker that the Calendar day ended at | twelve o'clock at night. 7'lie Southern members have taken their ground and aro not disposed to leave it. jThoy intended to hold a meeting, previous to any arrangement which was to govern, their course; but the occasion arose pormaturely. Some of the Northern members regret that tho question was pressed, in this way, as it shut out all opportunity for compromise, or even deliberation. But, nevertheless, the /Southern members here have an opportunity to show that they will not per m?t California to be admitted ns a Slate, until other questions shall be settled. The same policy which they adopted, last night, will be adhered to by thorn, not only in regnid to the admission of California, but as to the supply bills. 2'lioy will not suffer the army, navy or civil list bill to pass. The following is the account of the Journal of Commerce, of the row at Tammany Hill: Tub Mass Mkktino at Tammany Hai,l Prevented*?Seldom or never did our city witness so disgraceful a scene as occurred in it on Saturday night. The General Committee of the Democratic party invited "all the Democratic Republican electors of this city who are opposed to the PFllmcrt Proviso, and arc friends to the Union, to meet at Tammany Hall that evening at half-past 7 o'clock." Hut some half dozen of cl >magouges, who possess neither personal nor political influence, prevented the meeting taking place, ii?i u ' j iiiuuiy unit nicy couiu nul tiler-1 IC Htie Democratic party, they determined, as far as they could, to thwart its intentions, and took the present opportunity to do so. Having organized a largo gang of rowdies and Ruffians, thev repaired to Tammany Hull before the hour appointed for the meeting, nnd broke open the door of the room where it was to be hold, and appointed a President, who immediately commenced reading a series of resolutions. As the hour appointed for holding the meeting had not yet arrived, but few persons were then in the room. Shortly after, however, a large number of persons came in, and on seeing so very different a person, from whom they expected presiding, aud seeing none of the committee who called the meeting in the room, some of them naturally expressed their surprise and asked for an explanation. And cycrv man who did sn w?a ???w luuuvwmvvrijr seized by sonic of the ruffians, employed for tho purpose, and dragged out of the room. Even several persons vho made no remark, or attempted in any way to interrupt the meeting, but who were luiown to hold opinions different from those who concocted it, wore grossly insulted, and compelled to leave tho room. Mr. Sickles, one of those who had called the meeting which was thus prevented from being held, was then standing the. platform behind the chairman; and on i,".ing recognized he was immediately scizet! by 8cvei? or eight ruffians and dragged tln\ugh the room, in so violent a manner, that wo should not be surprised if he has sustained some serious personal injury. 80 utterly was decency decorum, or even respect for themselves, lost sight of by the actors inSthis outrage, that some of those who figured as orators on the occasion, were the most active in pointing out those who should bo dragged from the room, and, in doir7 so, used the lowest and most ruffianly language, such as "turn out the whitelivered rascal," "Kick out that fellow naar the door," In the course of an hour after this meeting had vuiiiiuuuucu its urgics. ? lur^io numopr 01 persons who enmo to take p:\rt in the proceedings which were to hiivc taken place, had entered the room, and it was proposed by some of them to oxnel-the intruders and orgunizo the meelrfig for which (he room had been engaged. As this, however, would most probnly have event- | uatcd in serious personal injury to many, the idea was abandoned, and a large number of persons left the roonir #ome other retnnined from curiosity to boo how the rrrt.tcr would end ; and after four or five portions had Rpoken, the r?solutions were declared by tho chairman to have been adopted and the meeting adjourned. Wc have been informed that the meeting which was thus prevented from be- i itig held, will take place in a few days.
