Mr. Butler look 'lie floor and cop, eluded the speech which hernm inencetl on Tuesday last. lie did not like the principal features of the bill, the admission of California with her present limits, and taking territory from Texas. He was afr that unless som>- reservations ' made prior to her admission, in the fjrm of a compact between the United States and California, California would own the public domain within her limits. He might be asked what would be satisfactory to her. His plan would i , , ... ue 10 curiau v,aiuonua to the line of 36deg. 30 mill., because that line had received a sort of popular approbation. Mr. Clay would make a single inquiry of that I Ion.

But still he did not know that slavery would go into the new territories. But it might be said that if slavery tiut not go there, the South were fighting for abstraction. He thought not. They would then be fighting1 for an honorable existence and prospective advantage. The submission of the South had been calculated upon. Resistance had been styled criminal and treasonable. But those who had the temerity to approach the precipice, would have to go over it. He thought that provision which formerly existed in the Constitution, requiring a twothirds vote of Congress to pass cor measures, ought to lie restored. If the South would preserve this Union, and their own rights, he thought they should unite and forma union among themselves. He thought the dissatisfaction among people of the South was much greater and much deeper that had been exhibited in the halls of Congress. The channel of separation was being worn deeper and deeper. He was in favor of the Missouri Compromise in its true meaning. Mr. Clemens moved to lay the bill 011 the table, but withdrew the iih" on .u me earnest solicitation ol Mr. Clay. The l)ill was (hen reported to the Senate, and all the amendments which had been made in Committee oflhe Whole were concurred in. Mr. Walker then moved to strike out all that part of the bill, excepting lhat relating to the admission of California. After debate between Messrs Bright, Clay, Berrien, and Benton the amendment was withdrawn. Mr. Hale then offered an amendment, which was adopted, giving the TT?:4-.r CJj-A? r< x r III liiu VMIII^U OlillCS V/Olirir in tlie Territories the right to grant writs of habeas corpus. Mr. Benton then offered his n mend ment in relation to the boundary ol Texas, and made a long speech in favor of it, and in relation to the general question of the title of Texas. Mr. Rusk obtained the floor. When the Senate adjourned, W ASIIINGTGN, July 16. The Senate, after memorials were presented, took up the adjustment Dill, and Mr. Rusk spoke at length in reply to Mr. Benton's speech of yesterday. Mr. Benton rejoined, and the debate was continued by Mr. Clay and j Mr. Underwood. Mr- Halo moved, to lay the bill or the table. Mr. Foote appealed to him to will draw it. Mr. I Tale declined. Mr. Webster began to say some { thing. t ( Mr. Berrien?I call the Senator tc . order. Mr. Hale, in compliance with Mr Footers request, said he would with i J I ! i* - i 1 . i .

Hampshire to withdraw his motion, ; and he was not aware there was anything disorderly in that. He . wiMiru 10 express some general . J views on the subject of the bill, and f! gave his reasons for supporting it. This was not a suitable time for this purpose, as an amendment was . pending, but it was made suitable by the menace just given by the honorable member from NIL that he would as soon as lie could get the iloor, move to lay the billon the table. Mr. \\ ebster was about to proceed, when he gave way to Mr. Badger, ' and the bill was postponed until 12 i Mr. W cl)s tcr and Mr. Koote laid ..jmc amendment on the table.

From a singular combination of circumstances, from the peculiar situation of the politics and parties of the country, we are led to believe that the loss which his personal and political friends have sustained in his death will become a good, especially to the South. No nolicv vvlllfh l>issn/?/>f>flor?'mav ; adopt can be inure destructive to the i interests of the South than that which , i he has pursued; By its suggestions I and under its sanctions we have seen ' 1 a handfullof Americans in California, I ' j aided by hosts of foreign adventurers, | appropriating to themselves a tract of one hundred and fifty-eight thou, sand square miles, including the finest harbors on the Pacific, as well as all the best portion of the territories, and by their forced and fraudulent enactments excluding the South from all participation in its mine al and agri* cultural wealth. Encouraged by the j same patronage, we have seen New i Mexico, under circumstances greatly agiavating the insult to the South, attempting to rob a sovereign State of a part of her territory for no other purpose than that of ^extending the arena of abolition iniquities, and a half civilized population, not better prepared (br self government than the Black-foot indians endeavoring tc r ii ? l- 5? * - - . iorce memseives into a participation . of the prerogatives and powers of the State9 of this Union. j The policy pursued by the late Administration would have proven i! as destructive to rights and interests of the South as the adoption of the I Wilmot Proviso itself could have done. It was, in fact, a silent, un, seen, but certain proviso, opperating to the total exclusion of the slave i States from all participation in the " i territories. Being a southern man and coming . from (he midst of the southern people, (Jon. Taylor was understood at the North to know and to represent southern feeling, while at the south there was a respectable party who would not or could not believ tha* lie would adopt any measures which could injure them; thus while his course produced division and distraction among us, it induced the North In lii'linvn flint \vn worn nrnnnrorl 1 submit to any injustice, and encouraged her to push her aggressions to i the utmost bounds. But Fillmore we know to have breathed the fetid atj mosphcrc of abolition from his cradle j and to come to the government reaki ing from the hot beds of fanaticism, i him we can resist, and should he aj dopt 'he policy of his predecessor, or pursue any course lor our destruction, against him and his measures the whole South can and will be combined. i The "Adjustment Bill" has at ! length been reported to the Senate, by the Committee of the Whole, and in a few days a test vote will be taken, and its fate known to the country. Whether it will pass the Senate is still a question of much difficult lv. but clir?nlfl iia ' - I -J , UMVM1U HO II IUI1UO UU (IU1U IU put it through that body, it will, judging from present indications, be rejected by the House. j The advocates of the measure are { encouraged by many to hope for the support of Mr. Fillmore, while others (and those too who appear to be in his confidence,) say that he will push the "non-interference policy" a little farther than it was carried by his "illustrious predecessor,"" and leave the adjustment entirely to Con gress. The new Cabinet appears to be formed of men, who, in the strictest j sense of the word, have been up to ! this time, non-committalists, and no ! human being, if we are correctly in(formed, (except porchance their I wives may be in the secret,) has yet : been able to discover what are their opinions in regard to the great questions of the day. These men may have formed opinions upon thequcs: tions which agitate the country; we do not say they have not, and those opinions may have been uttered and published; ifso, however, no one thought it worth while to record them, and possibly this is the reason why we arc so in the dark as to the policy likely to be pursued by the new Administration. Apropos of the new Cabinet,? | When wc first announced the names i ot the gentlemen who composed it, ! we felt ashamed of ourseli for not 1 being able to call up more than a I very vague and indistinct recollection of any of them exccpt Mr. W.in; throp, attributing, as we did, our inability to name any of theirgreat deeds, or to fix upon their peculiar merits, I ? -i t ' i<> urn bciil ui ignorance, ana nol to any barrenness of great actions in the lives of the men themselves; but since we have been somewhat encouraged to find that the ignorance for which we were blushing, was shared in common with all our con1 temporaries, and that, if these men | have been shining lights, they belong to that peculiar class of lights which shine under a bushel. The country should feel very grate ful to Mr. Fillmore for introducing it to these seven gentlemen, for had he not had ihat kindness, it may be assured it never would have enjoyed the honor of knowing them.

We | should call this very rapid work for , the compact little State of Delaware j which a good horseman could tra-, verse from end to end, and cross-ways and all round in a week. In New Mexico it is wonderful, considering that the sovereigns are scattered over a wide and unsettled region, without mails or means of communication and nine-tenths of them utterly ignorant of what constitution is, and many of them ignorant of t he languages which the others speak.
