An Important Movement.

We hail with great satisfaction a proposition which
submitted to the Senate yesterday, by Mr. Clayton
of Delaware and after debate of several hours was
adopted. Mr.. Clayton will scarcely thank hereto
like ourselves for any compliment which we may pay
him. But it is act of sheer justice to thank him for
the manly, concatory and patriotic course which he
haspursued Should any compromise emanate from this
movement which shall pour oil upon the agitaed waves
give tranquility to the people, and stability the Unon
he will deserve the thanks of the whole country
This resolution came from the proper quarter-from
State in the centre of the Union bordering upon the
south and the north, and which Mr. Clayton said had
sometimes been called northern, and sometimes
southern State. The resolution, as it was ultimately
adopted is TO refer the Oregon bill and its amendments,
and take from the Committee on Territories the ques
tons growing out of the Presidents message relating TO
the disposition of New Mexico aAd Upper California,
and refer them also to committee of eight, elected by
ballot 1t is understood that the committee will be taken
without regard to party, half from the north and half
from the south This is adopted under the hope
of settling this agltatng question by fair compromise
between the different sections of the Union. The
luton finally prevaied-ayes 81, noes l4-by the fol-
lowing vote:
YEAs-Mess rs Atohisqn, Atheon Badger, Bell, Ben
Clayton Davis of Mississippi, Dayton Dickinson, Downs
Foo,e flanagan, Hunter Johnson Of Maryland, Johnson
of Louisiana, Lewis, Mason, Metcalfe Rusk Seba an
Spruance, Turney Unde rwood Wescott, and Yulee-3l
NAYS-Messrs Baldwin, Bradbury, Clarke, Corwin, Da
Wis of Massachusetts, Dix, Fitzgerald Greene Hale Ham
lin, Miller. Niles, Upham, and Waker-I4.
Mr. Clayton then suggested that the appointment Of
this important committee should be postponed till this
day, IL o'clock, when it might be carried out as the
order of the day. This motion prevailed and then the
Senate adjourned, within few minutes of FIVE o'clock.
We forbea from all respect to the Senate, to present
any further views upon this deeply momenous subject
We leave it 10 their judgment and public spirit to settle
this question But may be permitted to hope for the
sake of country, and of the Union itself,
that fair compromise may be adopted for settling
all difficulties Those who contribute TO this object will
deserve the gratitude of enlightened people. AS well
as we recollec the Senate is pursuing much the
same course as done in 1920, when the Missouri
Compromise was adopted

In Illinois the democratic party have their ticket Of

The wing party had their candidates for governor &C.,
also announced and the prospect was pretty fair for
decent contest in which the democratic majority would
have been reduced perhaps TO $4,000 On the

withdrew their candidates. and left the track open,
not to show the world too the 10000 majority
which Illinois will give for Cass and Butler.
