Yesterday, the Oregon bill from the House COM
mtted to the Committee Territories of the Senate
We understand that Messrs. Clayton and Phelps man
fully and ably maintained their position in favor of the
compromise bill. Mr.. Clayton completely foored Mr..
Badger, in the most genteel style.
Thequeston may, then, be stated in few words. The
two sections of country agree, under this bill, to
compromise their separate claims by taking the question
out of excited Congress, and referring it to the
calm decision of the courts Does the Mexican law
against slavery continue or, superseded by
sttution, and does the constitution permit the people OF
the south go with their slaves to the newly acquired
territory 1t is true that this mode does not directly
settle the difficulty, but it puts the affair into such train
will lead to its rapid settlement without much further
excitement
Does any southern wing (say Mr. Hilliard or Mr.
Toombs) expect it be settled hereafter, in the face Of
greater delay and violent excitement Will the
next House give better prospect Of quiet settle
ment' The New York Tribune them, when il
says that "there cannot be many votes for any mis-
named compromise from Maine, Pennsylvania, Ohio
Indiana and Illinois, in the next House have Just been
given" Do they expect calmer decision from the next
census Now it might be settled without excitement
Or difficulty But the longer is put off, the smaller is
the prospect of settling it without struggle and excite
ment which are to shake the Union
