amendment agyecd f0-Yeas III, Noes lO'-the
minority on the former votes being changed inio
n majority bv the accession Of Messrs. Thompson
ola Pollock. Brady. Butler Of Pa. Morphy Of y.
Y. and one or two others.
And now the question REQUIRED on agreeing to
the Senates addition to the bill as amended, and
with great difficulty, the friends Of Free Soil were
nearly all induced not 10 repeat the mad folly
they perpetr4ted the night before in declining 10
send back the bill 70 the Senate, amended
on Mr.. w. HUST's motion. Many Of them held
out 20 the last, negecting TO vote or voting with
the South; others voted Yea protesting that it
was all wrong, and that we were running into
trap. Finally all but two or three were brought
% vote Yea. aud the amended proposition was
agreed to-Yeas 10, nays lOl. And the House
having receded from all its other disagreements
with the Senate. the bin as amended was sent
back 20 the Senate and the House still intensely
excited, proceeded very iuegulsrly to other bust
ness-mainly because they must await the Sen
atcs action on the Thompson substitute.
/ shall not follow the matter into the Senate
Suffice it 10 say that the wisdom Of the course ia
ken by the House was fully indicated by the con-
tortions with which the pill was faced in that
body Now the disorder, the talking against time,
calling Yeas aud Ntys, moving to adjourn, &c.
which had been resorted TO by part Of the friends
Of Free Soil at an earlier hour 10 the House, were
seen shifted to the other side. have passed over
these as exhibited on one side in the House, and
shall do the same with the same course on the
other side in the Senate They were unwise and
ill-considered but in view Of the strong probabi-
ity that the House would accede to the Senate 5
amendment they were not unproyoked. Had
Mr. Morebead's call for the Previous Question ia
ken the shape Of Mr.. Thompson's, or bad It as
made had the effect Mr.. NJ. intended, the House
would have been brought before midnight 10 a
vote on the naked question Of concurrence with the
Senates proposition as amended by Mr.. Morehea
and under the fear Of losing the bill altogether #

count the votes which would certainly have car
ried that proposition-by six or eight majority L
required. We escaped simply through that mis-
chance Of our adyersaries
At length--aiter weary watching TIL D o clock
in the morning, when even garrulity had ex
hausted itself with talking on all manner OF
frivolous pretcxts and relapscd into grateful 81
lence-when proaigacy had been satiated with
rascally votes of the Public Money III era'uites
% almost everybody connected with Congress,
SC. &c.-word came that the Senate had rcceded
altogether from It's Walker amendment and every
thing of the sort, agreeing to the bin as an Appro-
priation bill simply, aud killing the House amend
ment by surrenderng its own. Close on ITS heels
came the Senate's concurrence IN the House bill
extending the Revenue laws to California and
MESSAGE was sent with both bills TO rouse Mr..
Polk (stin President by sulierancel from his first
slumbers at the Irving House whittier he bad re-
tired from the Capitol some hours beiore) and pro
cure his SIGNATURE 10 the two bills. In due time
though II seemed rery long now that 1t was broad
daylight and the excitement was subsiding-"ord
was returned that the President had signed The
bills and had nothing farther to offer, message
boyine been sent 10 the Senate and the House was
ready to adjourn Mr. Winthrop made an eloquent
and affecting address on rehnquishing the Char
