line to the Pacific Ocean in the future organiza-

jorty OF thirty-nine. If we mistake not, twenty
one democrats from the non-slav holding States,
on the 18th. of July, voted, in the Hoase, against
laying upon the table the Calhoun and Clayton

the Senate. But there were only four democrats
from non slavehol ding States who stood up with
the South tor the Missouri compromise viz.
Charles Brown, C.. j. lugerso Richard Brod-
head, all OF Pennsylvania, and A. Birdsall of New
York. The last named gentleman today as on
the previous OCCASION, was SOLITARY and alonen
in, and stood out in bold relief from, the whole
New York delegation. IL IS a singular fact that
just beto re the vote taken, the nominations Of
the Buffalo Convention were received. Whether
or not this influenced single member Is 10 US un-
known, but we have heard IL boldly charged. Il

Under the new sugar duties bill it is proposed to
make a reduction of about 80 per cent, within the
next seven years; aud there is not the slightest

Mr.. Trist, addressed to the Speaker, accusing his

demeanors, even to resortng to subornation and
perjury, with view to the absorption of the whole
of Mexico. There were various documents ac-
companyng the letter, including his private in
structions from the Executive Department They
were all referred to the Commi tee on Foreign AT

that the precise contents of the papers were not

nary session, to weigh the charges, and ascertain
whether there is sufficient ground for impeach-
