"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.

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.
