The Hill was ordered to be engrossed
for ~ third reading.
On motio.. of Mr. Badger, it was
ordered tl at when thr Senate adjourn,
it do adjourn to Monday.
The Senate, on motion ?f AT,- ,
Hamlin, went into executive session,
and when the doors were opened the i
Senate adjourned. j 1
In (lie House, thr morning hour '
having expired, Mr. P. King, of New <
York, moved that the House proceed !
to use consideration of the business '
on the Speaker's tabic. It was car- <
l ied in the affirmative, and , 5
The Texas boundary bill and the j 1
proposed amendments were taken ' 1
up. 1
Mr. Clarke, of New York, who \ ?
was entitled to the floor, replied to ' 1
uie remarks of Mr. Brooks, of yes- 1
terday. 11c said that with him and \
his constituents the W'ihnot proviso. 1
or more properly the groviso of \S7, 1
was a sentiment or an abiding prin- '
ciple. He alluded to the abandon- ; 1
ment of the proviso by Mr. ISrocks, ' 1
and said that the gentleman in the 1 '
New York Convention introduced
resolutions stronrrlv i .
. -O J l,.K: !
Wilniot Proviso, and that it slioiilct be
forever applied to our territories:
and that now he had abandoned it, '
because, as ho alleges, it was merely ^
used then for the purpose of ar ?st-, j
inir the presrress of the American a? ms i i
in Mexico. i 1
\Yhv, said Mr. Clarke, the Mexi-; *
can war had terminated six months I 1
?.,.r -i
uuiure me resolutions were penned !<
and introduced into that convention, i 1
Mr. Clarke then examined into the '
claim of Texas, to show that she had j <
no right to the territory claimed by 1
her and in dispute between her and '
New Mexico. He, for one, should ; 1
vote against paving her a dollar for ! 1
land that did not belong to her. 11
Mr. Gorman defended the vight of.
Texas to a!! the territory east of the
Tiin (li-mi'In 1
tumprenenuing JSantn
Fe and all llio inhabited portion of j
New Mexico, or nearly so. He j <
viewed the junctionol' the extremists J
of the North and south?the junction '
of the ultra slavery men anil the free 1
soil men against this bill as porten-!'
live of gre$t evil to the country. lie j
advocated the passage of the bill, and
maintained that it could not bo pass- '
ed if it were not for the New York I 1
representatives, who were so acting 1
as to place the responsibility of using
or not, in a certain eontiiiflwnrv. ilm i
military power of thceountry against j 1
Texas. I'
He warned them that their con-j1
duct was leading 1 his country to a i
civil war. Before concluding, however,
should r ivil war come, which
he prayed (/od to 'avert, ho would be j
found where the flag of his country |1
was found. He concluded hv dn

In the Senate, on Tuesday, 4th

trade in the District of Columbia
was taken np. j
Mr. CJay explained it, and urged
its passage.
Air. Forte offered" his amendment'
authorizing the authorities of the
District of Columbia to pass lawscn
the subject of the slave trade and the !
abduction of slaves.
Mr. Pearce submitted an amend
nn-jii in i wo uraucnes?one making .
it a penitentiary offence to eniice or
induce n slave to run away; and the
other conferring upon the levy court j
and corporations of the District power
to prohibit immigration ol free
negroes.
Mr. Pearce explained that for the
offences contemplated by the first !
branch of his amendment the law of
Maryland of 1790, provided no ade- j.
quate punishment. The penally was j
a fine, to go to the owner, of two bun i
dred dollars. The offences coveretl
by this part of the amendment were
frequent and most daring and infamous.
He desired to furnish an ad
equate remedy as the best means of
preventing their recurrence.
The seeond branch afforded a I,
means of protection againct the vast J J
jncreaso of free negroes, This clas? ,
of population, he had been informed .

Mr. Clay oppftsed the amendments I
as part of this bill. They would be

He could nol support them as part uf
this bill.
Mr. Butler said that from iuforma
iton laiuueiore one 01 iiic committee,
he hail ascertained that two thirds
of the time of the criminal court of
this District was taken up in the trial
office negroes.
After some discus ion, both bran j
ehes of the amendment w ere passed, i
and the Se'iate adjourned.
In the House, the question pending
was on the motion of Mr. Root,
to recommit the bill to the committee
of the whole on the state of the
Union, with instructions to report it
with an amendment prohibiting slavery
in the territories acquired from 1
]\fc\*ico by the treaty of Guadalupe1
Hidalgo.
Mr. Daniel sent (o the Clerk's ta
bio a substitute tor Mr. Koot'samcnd
ment, in eft'-et?to report an additional
section to the bill, repealing nil nets ;
of Congress which prohibit African
-lavery in the territories of the Uni. '
led States; so as to extend to principle
of non-intervention into the tcrri-1
lories. He slightly modified it, (a
juestion of order having been raised,
md tlic^ Speaker having declared it
lot to be in ordei.)and thus it was '
reed from objection. After prelimi-'
lary observations, he condemned the 1
nessage of the Preside t in relation :
o the Texas boundary, &c., as erro-!
icons and dangerous, not only to the
icace of the country, but perhaps to
ho perpetuity of the Union. He was
ar from being a disunionist; anil if
le ever should become so, it would
)e because his non-slavcholdinff brelh
on would force him to tal-e that po-!
lition. Ho trusted that the Union!

izes the proceedings of the Govern
ment abroad in our diplomatic relations.
If there were any disunionists,
he believed it was because men !
liavc lost all hope of obtaining jus- i
lice. Although he believed that the j

the hope that his Northern
brethren will do the South justice.
If the South could be united, and
take a firm stand, the North vvould

even three-fourtlis of ihe States to i
Fiftoct the institution in the Stater?'
without the consent of all the slave
holding State?. Then we should
have no agitation from Abolitionists
and Free soilers. As to the bill un- 1
der consideration, lie would sooner
vote ten millions of dollars to defend)
Texas than he would to insure her
lismemborment?taking from her a
portion of her territory. He maintained
the right of Texas to the boundary
which she claims, from the
mouth to the source of the Rio
G rande.
Mr. McDowell was understood to
sav that he would not have risen on '
this occasion if the proposition to restrict
slavery had not been offered.
And he took the liberty to remark
that it was his fortune twenty years
ago, while a member of the J louse of
Delegates, toaddiess to that body a
speech on the subject ofslavorv.
which he examined with freedom, j
That spcerh had been referred to in
both branches of Congress by the !
friends of the proviso, in overwrought j
and unmerited encomium. He did
not mean to review the sentiment at
that time expressed, but he meant |
to say that, whether right or wrong,!
true or false, nevertheless they were
h:~U? -i? I'I
...iv .vu in mi; n^iii pmce, addressed
to fhe right audience, and invoked
the action of the rightful authority.
They were spoken in the Legislature
of Virginia, and spoken to the people.
They related to an institution established
under their own laws, and
they only had the right to modify,
uhrogate, or continue it. Congress
never had the powor to act on the
subject, in any way whatever. Until

unwise and mischievous; utterly pow
1'i lcss for a^ood purpose, but powerful
for evil. The whole control
si ould be taken from those who are
alien to the institution, and rest with
those who are connected with it. The
Hibjcdt should be left to the interests
find wisdom of those who, in the Providence
of God, have slavery in their
midst.
He objected to the proviso because
it was unconstitutional, harsh, and ;
unnecessary; because it was an ofTen

' of Ihe proviso was to give all the territory
now in, and all which ever
will come into the Union, to the free
States, whether by diplomacy, or by
i conquest; and the whole South, what|
ever may be her relations and contributions
to procure it?no matter
how she stood in the front rank in
the hour of sacrifice, and honorable
service?is lobe thrust out from the
body of her associates, buffeted, and
wounded in spirit.
Ho maintained that the Wilmot (
proviso, in all its length and breadth,
was an undit-guist J, deliberate disunion
proposition, which would prevent
one section of the Union from in
creasing and dividing the Slates in
fraternal feeling. It was utterly impracticable
to produce any other result.

would have been found not to resist;
a proposition, which, coming from
themselves, they have labored so long
and so laboriously to fix on the South.
Mr. McDowell contended for

The almost inextricable confusion 1
which ii is fallen upon the Territories,
owing to the weak and stumbling
policy of the late Administration, is
without a pr rallcl in the history of civil
governments. As soon as this wonderful
Administration could by that peculiar
forcing process wh'ch was emi
nently its own, procure he formation
of a Constitution and the election of
State officers for California, its head,
(he late lamented Executive* in compete
anticipation of the action of
Congress, saw proper to resign all

to the Union, neither a State
nor a territory.,
Hi"? ?
uocupies a position
little less anomilous, being the theatre
of the contentions of two usurping
Governments. Col. Monroe claims
jurisdiction as military Governor, in
the exercise of which rights he is disturbed
by the lately elected State
authorities, who affect to be supreme
in the territory, and who valiently
announce their determination to
maintain tno samcal hazards.
The cource of the late executive,
and more especially the doctrines advanced
in the Senate in the debates
on the California bill, warrant entirely
the assumptions of Alwez, while
the doctrines set forth by some of.
the same parties concerning President
Fillmore's message, and the dicta of
the message itself, fully justify ColMonroe
in his efforts to maintain the
supremacy of military authority.
Jtlcre ihen wc have the singular spectacle
of a government whose hippocritical,
dishonest, and shuffling policy

avowed doctrines declare both parties

The fo'lowing extract, so eminently
characteristic of the sontin ents and
feelinjTS of thoso Southnrn rtHif nr?
who bow ihcinsclves meekly to the
Northern Baal, and worship humbly
at his filthy alters, we take from the
Ashville Messenger of the 4th inst.
The Messenger calls Mr. Soule "a
Frenchman," and "an upstart for-1
eigner," who is attcmutincr tb "die-1
tate lo us, and trying to destroy our
institutions.11 It* Mr. Soulc does
happen to have been lx-n in France,
he shows and feels a deeper solicitude
for the honor and integrity of his
adopted country, than such "nativesM
as the Ashville Messenger have
shown, or can ever feel. It is a pity
indeed that the Messenger himself is j
not such a Frenchman, for if we had !
more such in the country and in the
Senate, the enemies of the South
would not he triumphing over her, as
now they are triumphing.

j. ms is oy no means the lirst at- i
tack of ihe kind wnich lias been j
made upon Mr. Soule; the brave and
noble stand which lie has taken a- j
gainst northern aggression, his search- j
ing exposition of northern iniquity, j
his withering rebukes to the puling
demagogues by whom he is sur- J
rounded, and above all his unan- j
swcrable defence of the South, her 1
institutions and position, have arpus-1
ed the anger of the entire "kith and '
kin," and set the whole pack of time- j
servers at his heels, so that with Lear
he might exclaim :
"The little dogs nnd nil,
Tray, Blanch, niiJ Sweothjart, see, thoy bark
at me."
Hut fortunately these little fellows

blc of nothing more terrible than
barking, and therefore they receive
but little attention from Mr. Soule
and his friends, the Southern people,
whose good sense ttach them to act
on the maxim 4'de minimis non curat

his country warned all his children to
beware of it and it will be well for
thern to heed it. Look now at Mr. |
Souie, of Louisiana, a Frenchman,
the head of the disunion band, ridicu
imjr ana siorming out against the
Union! What right 1ms this upstart
foreigner to come over here and be
dictating to us, and trying to destroy
our institutions? None! May we
be preserved from such influences
now and forever.11
Texas appears to be in considerable
of a ferment in relation to her
Boundary, and by her authorities
threatens to send on armed fom?a in
maintain her claim to half of New
Mexico. She seems forgetfiu of 'lie
lesson afforded by Shay's Rebellion
and the Whiskey Insurrection.
Of the 50,000 Nullifiers who were
to be en masse at Macon, 49,000

Texas has not forgotten that les
son, but she knows, as the. Ch ionic! e |
would know if fanaticism had not
perverted his reason, that lesson to
be entirely inapplicable to her case.
There is not the shadow of a resemblance
between the case of a soverein
State, whose clear and unmittable
rights are invaded, and whose
territory is sought to be dismembered,
arid that nf a f<r?w rliKfrnntn/l

tcnt?, whose avowed objccts were
not the maintenance of right and the
security of justice, but the utter subversion
of law and order; and the
Lewisburg Chronicle will find this
distinction become still greater should
Mr. Fillmore attempt with his yankee
cmisarics to coerce the State of
Texas.
This warning of Ihe Chronicle,
untrue to history as it is, would be
simply ridiculous did it not express
that sent:ment called "national
which pervade# the great mass of
the northern people, and which
means the supremacy of the Federal

Tho Chronicles connect with Texas
the Macon gathering, and seeks to
uuiiYi7 i?u impression 10 ins renders
that ibis too has been a failure. Tho
Chronicle is most egregiously mistaken,
the Macon meeting was eminently
successful, as .rave been all
such meetings held within the last
six months South of Mason &. Dixon's
line, and though there Were not
.)U,UUU people there in propria persona,
the whole South, with the exception
of ft few cowardly ienegades,
was there in spirit and in feeling, and
million/' of loyal hearts, burning with
a sense of many injuries, responded
to the glowing words and patriotic
resolves of that meeting.

that paper and the acts of the Legislature

at some conclusions, of the correctness
of which you and the public
may judge. And here let mo say,
that although we agree with Mr,
Tugah for the most part, we cannot
exactly subscribe to all his assertions.
We are pleased with the "appropriation"
and acknowledge our gratitude
to that honorable body for it,
but the Contractor and his "ill-fated
bull," we shall leave to supply empty
wita with food. We are also satisfied
that the public records which are
all important to the people, are very
insecure, in their present condition,
and that the ha/.ard of destruction
by fire, should be lessened as mtutli
and ?s speedily as possible. I have
ofteti heard it said, that ours is the
onh' wooden Court House iu the

I vv ca!so think that, if the Legislature*
i in making amends for former negli1
gcnce, has given a larger sum than is
; absolutely necessary to put up the
brick story, the remainder should be
i used in "digging down the hill;" and
i if the Commissioners of public buildi

they thould be applied to some other
useful improvement on the public
grounds and buildings.
