Thlriy-fnst Congress. First Session, In Senate. Washington, June 10, 1350. After the consideration of morning business, tie Senate took up the CBpromt;.rill. Air. Hale having tl,e lloor withdrew in favor of Mr. Benton, who he said desired to address the Senate lu day. Mr. Clay expretoed the hope that Mr. LVntoii would postpone makinfr the motion which he liatl intimated, ur.tj-1 the-vote lioultl have been taken on the amendments proposed to the bill. Mr. .Benton intimated that there was no disposition to take any vote; that further discussion uxn amendment wü only to add to the waste of tune already accomplished in the consideration of the bill; and expressed his readiness l withdraw whenever t he Senate BhojjU say be ready lo take a vo'e. He then moved the further consideration of the bill be postponed until I lie 4ih of March, in the year of our Lord 1331, and proceeded I address the Senate in support of the motion, but in no low a tune for some time, as to be inaudible in the gallery. After some sarcastic and amuinr observation in relation to the appointment of -the Committee of Thirteen and their opera
tions, he said California was made the scape-goat of all the sins of Slavery ; innocent of it herself, their sins were all heaped upon her head. He gave an account of the proceedings amon? the Jws, in sacrificing a goat for the expiation of the ins of Israel, for the purpose of showing the analogy between the ceremony and the action of the Committee of Thirteen. One of the reasons given for the conjunction of the several measures, was the speed with which she was to come in. The argument had been fully answered by the lapse of time. Another argument was the danger of such opirosition to ti e admission of California, as a separate measure, as would defeat the measure altogether That resolution had been abandoned by those who advocate it. California was made a mere handmaid of the Territories, to be used for this purpose. Three months ago, he and Mr Clay stood together in favor of the independent admission of California. The Senator from Kentucky left him as he had a right to do, and he hd refuted to follow, as lie had a right to refuse ; but Mr. Clay bad no right to call upon those who chooe otherwise, to follow the path which he had taken. He did not admit that the Territories were the supreme objects of consideration: he admitted that they were objects demanding the attention, of Con jress; he felt that the neglect which J hey had experienced was a shame and a reproach to Congress, but they were not the superior objects of consideration. California occupied that position, having prepared herself for admission into the family of States. The plea was, that by this bill. California and the Territories were to be carried through together, but suppose they should both be defeated together ! Suppose California, to whom there was little or no objection, should be dragged down with measures to which there wasjmuch demurring, where would be her remedy, and what the reasonable excuse for submitting her to such a fate! Why should the friends of California be compelled either lo vote against her admission, or take with her and vote for, measures which they honestly believed tobe injurious, and which they cannot therefore vote for, and fulfil the obligations they had assumed! He proceeded to consider the several bills reported by the Compromise Committee, exposing their various objections and incongruities. lie dwelt at much length upon that portion of the California bill proposing to define the boundaries of Texas and New Mexico, describing the geography of the country, and contending that the boundaries suggested are unnatural and inexpedient. Having disposed of this branch of the subject, he proceeded at great length with a general examination of the scheme presented aa a Compromise convulsing the chamber with laughter at Lis droll analogies and illustrations and attacking the matter in a strain of biting sarcasm and irresistible irony, which he applied equally, and with no measured band, to the originators of the scheme, its advocates and supporters, in conclusion, he observed that it was time to end this "comedy of errors," California was suffering for admission and the Territories for protection; with a view to that end lie had made the motion to postpone. June 11, 1850. Senate. After the consideration of morning1 business, the Omnibus Citf wae taken up. Mr. Cass addressed the Senate. He expressed bis regret at the remarks made by Mr. Benton yesterday. There was t tone of sarcasm in it, which was calculated to excite temporary gratification, but could do no good. He regretted, especially, his allusions to lM Chairman of the Committee of Thirteen. The long continued, great public service of that Senator should have saved him from such aa attack.. The Senator from Missouri had truly said, that ours was a great, a prosperous, and happy country; but he had read human history to little purpose who did not know that troubles might arise as well in av prosperous country as in one in more adverse circumstances. Prosperous as we are, a trouble had arisen which is now under consideration, and which he believed to be a most proper subject of Compromise. He had not been prepared for the violent opposition, which the proposed scheme of settlement met, although he knew well that no plan whatever, even if presented by an angel from Heaven, could be unanimously acceptible. A short time since, the South were threatened with the Wilmot proviso, and yet, when a project was brought forward to avoid that issue, and settle the whole question, it met the utmost hostility from gentlemen representing the South. Oil the other hand, certain Senators from the North and West opposed it just as heartily, as an abandonment of important con siderations. If he had had a doubt of the justice of the scheme before this meeting of extremes against it, that fact would have removed litem all. When extreme so meet, it was always pretty good evidence that the proposition which they opposed was one on which just and reasonable men might probably unite, in this case, one section, or a portion of it, demanded the restriction of Slavery by positive law, and the other section demanded its recognition. The plan presented dy the Committee ran between these extremes, and if adopted, would settle all difficulties, and would be universally hailed with joy. The Senator from Kentucky, (Mr. Clay) had never engaged in a nobler work than the preparation, presentation and advocacy of this scheme, and, let the result be what it might, the pure motives which he had brought into this measure, and the patriotism, energy and perseverance with which he had presented and urged it, would deserve and receive the thanks ot his country. Mr. Cass vindicated the propriety of joining the four measures embraced in the bill under consideration. Would any body deny that all these measures gain strength from the connexion 1 He denied that California suffered delay by the circumstances at all. It was untrue, also, that the connection was, or ought to be, offensive, to the dignity of California. He cited many instances in which important measures had been connected in one bill, without the suspicion of indignity ever having been excited. In alluding to the extravagancies in which the opponents of the bill indulged, he read at considerable length from Horace Mann's celebrated letter, condemning Mr. Webster with much severity. He also argued at some length the constitutionality, necessity and propriety of establishing territorial governments; and referred to the President's California Message, expressing his regret that the Executive had not recommended some plan of adjustment, by which the distracting question might have been settled. He considered the proposition to pay Texas for the settlement of her boundary, contending that it Was eminently just and proper, calculated to settle a difficult question of title, prevent civil commotion, secure protection to the inhabitant of the frontier, and yet, if it fail, the rights iteitber of Texas or the Uoited State were prejudiced by the attempt. He also argued the various objections urged to the Compromise upon the ground of the exceptions, which are expected to be taken to it by different seclinn? of the country. He quoted also from articles in the Republic and Courier and Enquirer, to show the ?ies and position of the President upon the Com promise, which he coinmeived upon at length, without, however, impugning the motives of the Administration. In conclusion, he made an enrnest appeal to the Senate in behalf of the scheme of the Committee as the only one which could secure peace and happiness. Mr. Davton followed after rebuking Mr. Cass in a pointed manner for his personalities to him, ht pro ceeded at once to consider the measure unaer amu ion, with a view to defending the recommendation bv the President. The Cominitttee of thirteen had been at.pointed with an end to conciliate, harmonize and units conflicting views, feelings and interests, and ret whfn it was brooffht here, it was evidently the oITnrinir of confusion and the child of discord ; it was met as its very birth by the execrations and re pudiatiooa cf its reputed fathers, who would have
strangled it in its birth, except for the energy of one man, Mr. Clay, who seized and upheld it with one hand, while he received all assailants with the other; and yet, in the presence of all this discord, gentlemen expressed their surprise and rejret that tl.e President and his friends had not come forward to the defence and support of this measure. It really seemed to him that the surprise and regret fhould have come from the other quarter. Seven formed the majority of the committee; the President and Iiis Cabinet then
were equal in number to the majority of the committee, am yet it had been a matter of surprise that j they had not yielded iheir candid, honest convictions to the dictation of the Committee, when the work ofthat Committee met decided approval from no quarter whatever. A year ago the doctrine of non-intervention was laid down as the claim of theouth, and when the North had finally wonted itself up to tint point, behold, they rind the 6take etill further removed from them, and the Administration and its friends were called upon lo follow on. He had no design of coinparing the plan, so called, of the President, with that of the Committee. The President had never put anything forward in that shape. He had recommended a a single act. identical, as far as it went, with the action of the Committee. 1 he Committee had formed a plan, combining measures for political strategy and that plan would stand or fall by it own merits, and meet that comparison or antagonism with any other. The President in relation to the territories had recommended non-intervention, so had the Committee i tie difference between the President nnd the Committee was, that the former had been open, independent recommendations, while the latter, with the view to forcing through several measures, tacked thein together, in order that one might gain strength and weight by its connection with others. After a few remarks in relation to the condition of Utah and New Mexico for the purpose of showing that their cause was not such a gaping wound in the body politic as had been represented, Mr. Dayton remarked that he did not mean to say that Government ought not to be made for New Mcxico, if there were no difficulties attending such course, but here was the Wilmot Proviso in the way, that Proviso which the Senator from Michigan had pronounced dead; how dead, he would ask 1 Did the Senator base that assertion upon a certain vote taken in the other House ! lie certainly must be aware that the vote was no test of what would be the result if the question were directly presented in a territorial bill. The Proviso had only been scotched, not killed ; and scotched by the President's recommendation of nonintervention in the territories. It was quiet now, because there was nothing to call it forth ; but let them enter its domicil and tir up this monster hydra, as it had been called, and it would be found as full of life and vigor as ever. The instruction of the Legislatures of the Northern States were not to continually press this matter, but whenever the occasion should arise, their Representatives were to see that the ordinance of '87 was resjected. He must proceed to consider the proposition of the Committee for the settlement of the Texan boundary, in the coure of his remarks asserting that the boundary question would be settled by the Judicial tribunalMr. Houston Never. Mr. Dayton The Senator from Texas says, Never, By what right does he assume that the Constitution provided for the settlement of such questions by the Supreme Court. The boundaries of many of the old Slates had been settled in the Courts under the provisions of the Constitution, and should Texas, the youngest of the sisterhood, come in and ride roughshod over the Constitution ! Mr. Dayton proceeded to consider the title of Texas to New Mexico. The Senator had said that if it were not for this question of slavery, there would be no question at all about the title of Texas; on the other hand, he (Mr. Dayton) would say, that if it were not for this question of slavery, and the predilections and sympathies of southern men in behalf of that institution, there would be no question at all as to the worthlcseness of the title; and when he had recriminated thus, the assertion on one side would have balanced that on the other ; and nothing would be gained in the way of argument. The bill proposed to pay a blank sum for the title of Texas to New Mexico ; in considering how much should be paid for a title, it was proper to examine the value of that title. He maintained, that the title now in dispute was not worth a rush, and if it was a case between man and man, and his advice were asked as to the propriety of paying a disputant for the release of such a claim upon it as that of Texas, he would advise them not to do so. It would be to abandon the substance and swim for the shadow. He proceeded to examiue the statutes of Texas, with a view to showing that never, by any of her laws, had she asserted any title to New Mexico, or any part of it, until January 4th, 1S50. After a movement of that kind commenced, a great compromise was to be agreed upon, which was to settle all these questions, and the boundary of Texas, among the rest, by purchase of her title. If Texas had title, she had for 14 years failed to assert it. Her title by revolt could only extend to the boundaries of the government, and consequently would not extend to New Mexico. He also examined the claim under the treaty of Santa Anna, and after producing many signatures to prove that Texas never thought of title beyord the Neneces until recently, Mr. Dayton contended that the President was not derelect in duty in failing to recommend the tettlement of such a question of title by the mode presented by the Committee, or by any other of the same character. Washington, June 13. After the consideration of morning business, the omnibus bill was taken up. Mr. Webstek addressed the Senate. He was in favor of each of the measures presented in the bill, and would be glad to vote for them connectedly or separately. The motion now was, to strike out of the bill ail that relates to the boundaryof Texas. He thought this amendment an important matter, as much difference of opinion existed as to what disposition could bo made of the territories. But it seemed to be necessary, that before a decision was made upon the disposition of the territories, their boundaries should first be settled. It seemed to him quite impossible that New Mexico could ever come in as a Stato unless her boundaries are first settled; otherwise, who could frame a constitution and plan a State government. Texas claimed that title to a portion of the territory. Where was the limit, then, within which were the people of New Mexico and the citizens of Texas. Texas had exercised her jurisdiction over a large portion of territory claimed by New Mexico. There was no government in New Mexico, either legislative or judicial ; no organized responsible body to resit the claim of Texas, and vindicate their rights against Texas. The question of boundary would be a proper one for judicial settlement: but as a point of practical wisdom it was eminently just and proper that Congress should declare what thsse boundaries arc. Mr. Seward would vote for the amendment pend. ing, for this reason among others that the whole bill had, in his opinion, been most unfortunate in its operations and tendency. It had brought the entire business of Congress to a stand still, and California, after six months wa now standing at the bar of the Senate, waiting for admission; whereuä, hud she been permitted a separate consideration she would have tern admitted lonif ajjo. After alluding to the propositions which had been m-ide relative to the boundaries of Texas he snid the argument in favor of those propositions was, that it would be better to surrender to Texas twenty miles of the territory of the old province of New Mexico, and all the country lying between the Neueces and Rio Grande, than to run the Tlfk of Texas getting the whole of New Mexico. He apprehended that Texas would get, in the end, just as much of that country as she was entitled to, and that was none at all. lie briefly considered the alleged title of Texas, and declared himself unwilling to pny her for that which she had no title to. He replied to Mr. Webster's assertion, that there was no government in New Mexico to assert her bound'tries and her rights under tiiem. There was a government over the country the United Slates which wi a bound to assert and protect, the rights in question, and to use such force aa might be necessary to repel any attempt by Texas or any other power to encroach upon those rights. Ha did net say this in a spirit of unkindnpss towards any other State. He believed that the money proposed to be paid to Texas for her asserted claim was all due to her from other considerations, and would vote to give it to hec to pay ber debts arising out of her war of independence. The amendment uuder consideration was Mr. Turnev's proposition to strike out the 39th section of the bill, being that in relation to the boundary. Mr. Ci.emr.ns moved to amend the section, by fill
ing the blank left for the indemnity to be paid to Texas, with oiie million dollars. , This motion took precedence of the motion to strike OUt. j Mr. Clay appealed to Mr. Clemens not to press the amendment now. The committee desired to get the sense of the Senate on the general provisions of the bill, bef.ire the question of indemnity should be considered. He then replied to Mr. Seward, denying that the pending measure had del..) ed the public business, and charging tho minority of the Senate with having caused the delay in the public business, by a systematic, continuous effort to postpone and obstruct. The committee would pledge' themselves, if the minority would permit it, to come to a final decision of the whi.de subject within six days. He repudiated with scorn the unfounded chargea gainst the committee, fn conclusion, he submitted some remarks in opposition to Iii motion to strike out the whole oQth section. Would Senators- vote for that motion, because they were opposed to the entire bill! If the bill wis to pass, would they not pre'er it ! It should par in such a shape as lo settle this boundary question and save New Mexico. Air. Foote followed, with a violent attack upon Mr. Seward, charinn" him with desiring to leave the
Texas boundary question open to be settled as it must be in blood. The chair called Mr Foote to order several times in the couise of his remarks for personalities. Mr. Foote continued at some length avoiding the vU to order by applying his remarks outside the pale of the Senate, while their inferences coulö not be mistaken. 31 r. Seward expressed his regret that the few remarks which he had made should render it necessary for the distinguished Senator from Kentucky to tax at present his dilapidated powers. After expressing his respect and high consideration for Texas, he denied any intention to complain of the Committee of Thirteen. He had asserted the tact that the business of the country was unsettled and much behind its usual condition at this point of the session, and expressed the opinion that this had resulted from the operation of certain causes. If the majority of the bench, in any court of justice, should determine on and proceed to the execution of a course by which all the cases before the court were to be tried together, argued together,, sent to the jury and decided together, most surely they would have little cause lo complain of the minority of the bench for remonstrating at every stage against such a violation of right and rule. There was an acknowledged proper mode of legislation, and that was to do one thing at a time. The Senate had failed to follow that principle of correct leg islation, and gentlemen should not complain of those who use their best efforts to bring them back to the only proper mode of transacting business. He was in favor 'f striking out all in the bill that relates to Texas. When that had been done, all of merit that there was in the matter stricken out would come before the Senate by itself, as it ought to have come in the firjt place; and when any memlier of the Senate would present the question in that form, he would be as ready to vote on it as any other, and as liberally as his views of duty would permit. This combinttion of measures was calculated to embarrass intelligent aciion. The Senator who voted to combine distinct and separate measures, sn ns to deprive the Senate of a distinct consideration of them, surrendered a portion of his own independence as a Senator, and surrendered the independence of all others. He (Mr. Seward) should neither surrender his independence, nor engage in any such conspiracy against others. Mr. Mangum called to order. The gentleman had no right lo charge conspiracy. Mr. Sf.ward had no design to apply the term l) any individual or committee. He was speaking of the operation of a principle. Mr. Tur.net followed, in support of the motion to strike nut the whole section. Mr. Benton followed in reply to Mr. Clay, reading as his text several .passages from the speech made by the Senator from Kentucky, on the 14th of February, in which he declared the admission of Call oriiia a measure standing by its-elf, and demanding decisive action. He (Mr. Benton) hoped the Senator, when accusing the minority with having all along delayed the settlement of that question, would deduct at least the time during which he himself acted with those who still contended for a distinct consideration of California. Mr. B. proceeded then to retort back the lecture whicii he conceived so gratuitously given by Mr. Clay, as to the waste of time. Mr. Clay denied that he had attempted to lecture the Senate. The olfice of lecturer, to be successful, required two qualifications the ability on the part of the lecturer to impart instruction, and the capacity of the lectured to receive instruction. In this ease, both the qualifications were wanting. He was in favor of the admission of California, and if it had depend ed on him alone, she would have been admitted long ago. He professed to be a practical man, and it was well known that he had yielded his own predilections and wishes, because he had become satisfied that the speediest way of bringing California in, would be. in combination with other measures. Mr. Houston submitted some remarks, in defence of the title of Texas, declaring that she knew her rights and was prepared to assert, defend and maintain them at any cost. Mr. Benton made some observations, denying, as had been suggested by Mr. Clay, that during last summer, in Missouri, he had expressed himself af ninst the admission of Oaliiornia. Mr. Clay, in apology for having made the sug pest ion, read a letter written by a gentleman named Heed, ut Independence, Missouri, evidently to Mr. Foote, in which the writer says that Benton, in con vers.it ion with him, in relation to the admission of California, said she was not fit to be admitted, and that the executive course, looking to that end, was a cowardly policy, and that California should he treat ed like other new States as in tunes past. He only read this letter in vindication of himself. He did not know the writer nor vouch for his accuracy. The Senator would know, however, whether it was true or not. Mr. Benton denied the right of the Senator to ar raign hiui thus in the Senate, by reading a letter, and colling- upon himself to say whether it was true or not; and the Senator would nut get off in that way. He had nothing to do with the Senator's informant; but as he had produced the letter here and published it, and thus made it a part of the parliamentary his. tory of the country, he held him responsible ns its author. He pronounced it as his (Mr. Clay s) letter. and as his letter he branded it as an infamous cal umny from beginning to end. Loud calls to order. Mr. Clat. As to the Senator's imputations, I hurl them back with unutterable scorn and indigna tion, and suggest to him to put in his casket of t th er calumnies, which here Cries of order, atd rap ping of the Vice President, interrupted tho remarks. Mr. WEB8TF.it expressed his regret at such occur rences in the Senate, and administered a well vturd ed rebuke to both. For himself ho would not sit in the Senate and witness such scenes. Mr. Hale said if the rebuke just given was to be considered as lust, and its suggestions to be iolloweu in the practice of the future, he must beg that some rule be established by which it might be understood, how old a Senator must be, to entitle him to exemp tion from having letters and his private correspond ence rend against him. laughter. The other day a letter of such character was read nsainst one of the youngest members of tho Senate, (himself) and the Senator .rum Mass. and others aeemed to enjoy it very much, luerrwed laughter.

It is conceded enerally. by vhi?:s. democrats, and free snilerc, that the new constitution will contain a Provision requiring the election of Supreme Judges. Circuit;Judfr-.8, Auditor of State, Treaaurer of State, Secretary of Slate and all other officer by the people at the first election after its adopuon. A question will 110 doubt ari6e, whether the present incumbents shall continue in office until, their time expires or whether they shall be placed on equal ground with others, and run the risk of rettiur their respective offices, irt the hands of the sovereign pow er of the State, the people. In all the States that have recently established new Constitutions, with no restriction as to the election of Judicial and Slate officers by the people, I believe the unexpired term of these o:ficers lias been abolished. Indiana will no doubt do the same by the unanimous consent of the Convention, and the approbation of the people. It may be that some of the whip; President Judges of our circul courts, and iheir friends, will oppose this feature of the Constitution, arid wish to hold their lull term, but such opposition will be nominal. It 19 fortunate for the democracy, that our Supreme Judges and State officers are all democrats, and hold to tho doctrine that all power is in, and ought to emanate from the people, directly. They will therefore, in the true ppirit of patriotism, cheerfully give back to the people the places Ihey now fill, thereby placing themselves upon an equality, under the new order of things, with their fellow citizens. It cannot be known at present, whether these gentlemen will receive their offices again from the people or not. If they nhoulJ not, we have a guarantee in their past history, that they will enter the ranks and tight the battles of democracy with zeal and fidelity. Two of our Supreme Judges, have in times past, rendered good services in our causp, aa good democrats in many respects, espe cially as able political editors. And should it so hap-' .1 . . I 1 : I . 1 a pen, inst wie aisiiiirruisrien place liiey now 1101a, eriou be filled by others, they can betake ihemselves to their old avocation, and soon acquire the distinction they once so deservedly had. Judge Blackford has made a lasting reputation as a reporter of the decisions of our Supreme Court ; he is far advanced in life, and no doubt courts that repose, so natural to one of his age, and large pecuniary resources. REFORM. How the Panic Progresses. Whilo the mammolli corporations of the North, wild tlieir millions of capital and their thousands of operative?, are suspending their machinery, for the alleged reason that they cannot manufacture without a loss, the southern manufacturing establishments are doinjf a good business, and almost daily we see notices in the southern papers of the erection of new factories. Thus, we find the follow ing paragraph in the last number of the Savannah Georgian : "More Facto Rita. The Atlanta Intelligencer says: "We understand that the manufacturing company at Roswell, in Cobb count j, have recently laid the foundation of a new factory near the site of the one now in operation. The new factory is to run 5,000 spindles, and the building materials are nearly all in readiness. 4Ve learn aim that Gor. Hie Donald has just completed a new factory in Campbell county, 0 run 5,000 ppindleg. Thua the work goes bravely on.'" If the manufacturing bus neos is in such a depreisod state aa is represented by the monopolist of the North, how does it happen that the Southern manufacturers aro doinjr so well? And if the "cotton lords" of Lowell need protection, against whom do they need it the manufacturers of Europe, or the manufacturers of Georgia and other southern State t They should let C -ngress know, in order that that body may be able lo apply the remedy in the right place.
