THE WILMOT PROVISO.

There is a general apprehension that
the House Of Representatives.. after the Sen
ate has rejected the "WiImot Proviso," will
rccede from the vote by which il was adop-
ted. And this, according TO the views Of an
intelligent C, respondent, will be done by an
evasion Of the ayes and noes upon the ques-
ton.
We hope that these apprehensions may
not be realized 1t would be Notifying 10

FROM WAsHINGroS-The Army Bill oc-
cupied the first attention Of the House Of
Representatives during the week past, and
had consideration in time Of about one day
aud half The sum appropriated in the
bill is only thirty two millions Of dollars, or
about twenty millions day or abont five mil
lions an hour for the time gwen TO the con
sideraiion of the bill. The discussion which
took place was upon the exhaustlcss topic Of
the war; and it was one OF the ablest Of the
debates of the session. Though it is never
desirable 10 see an admini5ti alton opposed
for The sake Of opposition, it is refreshing TO
see minority SO far preserving their lndepen
dence as TO be heard. notwithstanding all the
analhemas put forth from the Executive and
his followers.
Mr.. Pendlcton's speech upon the Ar
my Bill was one of the boldest of the session
and not only from the position of Mr.. T. as
the only Wing member from Virginia, hut.
from the atten. pit made to deprive him Of Il
hearing on the Three Million Bill. MIR. i,
did not hesitate To denounce the war in its or
igin as unconstitutional, usurpation 81 pow
or on the part of The President, as dangerous
as was uncallrd fnr. So say quite one third
Of the members of the House. So we believe
think more than one half the Members oil the
whole Congress. That at least is our sur
mise, and those who mingle much with the
Member. of Congress themselves, will proha-
bly, come TO the same conclusion. We do
not think Mr.. Wescott WAS at all out Of the
way, when he said that Mr.. Polk had not more
than thirty abiding friends in tho whole oil
Congress- and aside from the attractions oil
the patronage incident To his Office, we doubt
il he has as many as this number. 1t is not
surprising therefore that the people do not
conRde in him, now that distinguished men Of
both parties speak with the utmost freedom
OF the man and his measures.-N Y. Err.

A CONVENTION OF WOOL Growers was
held at SteubenviIe, Ohio, ON the 18th Of
February. in compliance with the call Of a
meeting held ut Springfield in August last.
The object of the Convention was to take in
TO consideration the wool producing interest
in all its bearings, including the breeding Of
sheep, the production and preparation OF
wool, and the means Of securing the best mar
kets and an adequate remuneration. a let
ter was read from Mr.. l.. A. Morrell, Of
Tompkins county, n. Y. upon the subject OF
the best means of procuring an adequate price
for wool. His suggestion was to establish
Wool Depofs in various sections of the cOun-
Try, with suitable man at the head Of each,
whose duly it ahould be TO make himself ac-
quainted nth the state Of the markets nj home
and abroad aud who should have sufticicn-
cy Of capitol at command, to enable him tC
advance reasonable amour, in anticipation
Of sales " hen required, and thus maintain in
dcpe ndcni ground, ofw hich the manufacfur
err cannot take advantage by forcing sales
This suggestion was received with favor by
the Convention. and il was resolved TO estah-
lish Wool Depot at Springfield, Mass. and
at Wheeling, Va; the former TO he under the
control of Mcssrs Perkins & Brown. Much
other business respecting the preparation oil

Mr.. Gowns SPEEcH.-This speech is
styled the Speech Of the session. The new
grounds which Mr.. C.. boldly takes to resist
this and every war in which the Executive
may involve the country which in the opinion
Of Congress and the nation is wicked and un-
just by withholding supplies is q cheering sign
of return of congress to ajust sense Of their
own dignity and duty to the nation. Who
could have imagined that some of the leading
wings in congress could have supposed that
holding the administration responsible at last
was sufficient apology for voteing away
millions yea tens OF millions Of the peoples
money TO rob Mexico Of her territory TO con-
vert into slave states. That the course of Mr.
Corwin is right is fully evidenced by the uni
versal favor which his speech seems TO meet
with from tho wing party throughout the Un-
ion. 1t has been copied in part or entire Into
hundreds of wing journals and with their most
hearty Communication. Let it he read.
