THE UNION.


Never Despair or emo Rspublio.
After various questions had been taken yesterday on
the amended b-aiter the previous question had been
ordered. and several motions had been decided by
majority (and, among the rest by the casting OF the
Speaker calculated TO give hopes OF the Of
the movementafter motion send the bill 10 the Com
mittee of the Whole had passed, and then motion OF
consideration had prevailed and the motion for its
miimenth had then faedaer the House had then refused
to lay the bill the table by encouraging vote thus
showing that, TO all appearance, there majority
of the House in favor OF passing it, either on Mr. Boyds
amendment or the Texas bill alone, the question
came on upon MEaBoyds amendmsnt-that is, to unite
the Mexico and Texas bills together; and it reject
ed by vote of IS to 1865 majority Then. finally
the question up the passage OF the Texas (Mr
Pesrces) bill. which lost by majority OF 43. Sue
cessve motions then to adjourn the House, com
bined with motion to reconsider the bill Tor the pur
pose Of anesting all reconsideration and thus clnching
the nail upon IT, Finally, the House adjourned, after
o'clock-the opponents OF the bills OF the Senate exung
in their victory, and their friends dismayed dis
coMfted by their defeat
We had recourse TO our distinguished western
friend for our comfort "What do you say now May
sleep quiet upon my pillow to.nght" Eyes, (waa
the repy) repose in safety and peace Boyds amended
bill will pass yet. motion will be made to recon
slider it to morrow, and it will succeed have heard
eight members already express their determination lc
change their votes"
The battle will be renewed this morning. We have
already heard two knowing and experienced members
the House, who have passed through many parlia
meniary tempest express their firm conviction that Mr.
u. hat tharf
is already sufficient proof of the Texas bill being sc
strong, with the aid of the New Mexico bill TO carry
il through that the combination of its provisions esab
fishing on the hand the boundary OF Texas, and OF
the OH er arrestng the introduction of the Wmot Pro
vso into New Mexico, by the substitution OF the prnc
pie of non intervention, is calculated to satisfy thu
scruples OF many of the members that in this shape
will be reproduced, and in this shape it will pass tn
| House.
The friends of the system Of pacifcation agree tina
il never will do for Congress to adjourn and leave
everything in confusion; that the country signs 10
peace, and the people will have it. and that it vii
never do to keep the agitation open ALLEVIATE the friends
both sections from each other, and incur the danger
ii ,solvng the Union. They press the question, Wha
is TO become Of Texas Will she not prosecute he
claim? Will the Executive back out in disgracea o
will Congress run the risk Of provoking civil war OF
the borders OF the Rio Grande' Where will that wa
STOP short OF the dissolution OF the Union'
| Impelled by these considerations, we ought not II
entertain doubt that the moderate men OF the Hous
will come to the rescue and their country from
colnmoiion The friends of the Union and the friend
OF peace will waive minor considerations they will
pertnaciously insist upon having everything precisely
their own way The spirit of Cancellation and compro
mise will once preside over the deliberations o
Congress- and the foundering ship will be saved from
the gathering tempest. !.
The appeal is now made to all men and to all sec
tions-,o the North well to the Southto extngus
the torch of dscord and respect each others feeling
and each others interests Patriots, to the
Settle this question in spirit OF conciliation Whei
this solemn covenant has been made, then let III
South swear never to yield an inch TO the fanatics
and let the North swear to tolerate further ag
gressions II this solemn compact be made, it mus
be respected, like the constitution itself. Pass III
Wimot Provso interfere with slavery in this District
disturb the slave trade between State and State. and tn
Union is gone But now let us make peace betwee
each Other save the Union, live under the protecting
banner OF acommon country, and vow nterminable wa
