1t will be undo rsood, Of course that all the off,
are loco focos.
Nothing Of importance done on Monday
, in either branch, except the organization. On
Tuesday Mr.. Orth introduced into the Senate,
| and Mr.. Julian into the House, joint resolution
instructing our Senators aud Representatives in
Congress to vote for the Incorporating the pro-
| visions of the 9th article of the Ordinance of
| 1851 into any and all laws which may be pre-
scented TO Congress for the purpose Of organizing
| territorial governme nts in New Mexico and Cal
ifornia. On subsequent day Mr.. Orth's reso-
lu,ons came up in the order Of business. and by
a strict party vote, including the Honorable Sen
ator from Henry, they were referred TO the COM
mi,tee on Federal reIa,ons-the,e TO sleep un-
disturbed forever, or to be changed to
any thing or nothing. An attempt was also made
by the Wings to instruct that committee not o
strike out the principal resolution which con-
tanned the Proviso. This too was defeated by
these prete nded frenGs Of free soil.
When the proposition came up from the House
fixing day for the election of a L 5. Senator,
the Wings attempted to induce the other party
to commit themselves i'll favor Of the Proviso of
freedom, but it was no go. They for free
soil in the abstract, nothing more.
/ On Tuesday, bill to incorporate the Rich
mond and Newport Turnpike Company was pre-
scented to the Senate; and on the day following
bill to incorporate the Richmond and W lliams-
burg Turnpike Company was also presented
On the day Gov. Whtco,nb, returned to
the Senate bill passed at the last session of the
Legislature Incorporating company to construct
a Turnpike Road on the line Of the National
Road through Wayne county. and to the House
"A similar bill for Henry county, signed and APP
proved. We commend the "second, sober
thoughts Of His Exceency. 1t is to be hoped
time will now be lost in early commence
rnent of the work, and that it may be speedily
prosecuted to completion. The charter is a lib
eraI one, and the investment Of stock will prove
profitable.
The Senator from Henry introduced a joint
resolution the subject OF extending slavery
into the recently acquired te rriories. They SIM
should remain free, and that i; is erpedi.nt for
Congress to pass law to that effect. Erpedie"'
indeed. Why not instruct our members to vote
ana otherwise use their influence to pass law
declaring that they shaH be free torerer. Ona
question of such importance as this, we want no
mcaly -mou,hed talk about expectancy. Let the
demand be made in tones not to be misu hide r
stood.
