WASHINGTON CITY.
GLORIOUS NEWS +!

twill be remembered that this paper has re-
peatedly predicted the failure of the Omnibus
bill. The Union, its champion, has generally
misled its readers into contrary opinion. The
Union understands neither the North nor the
South Yesterday the friends of the Omnibus
were exulting. Its supporters
"They counted them at break of day
But when the sun set, where were they 7"
The Omnibus started to 60 through by day.
light; but the screws got loose, the wheels flew
of, right and left, north and south, and before
night the vehicle came down with crash And
all that remains of the Omnibus is bill that
passed to its third reading, providing territorial
government for Utah--siient on the subject OF
Slavery Utah had herself proposed.
Thus fails the worst, most monstrous, incon-
gruous, and abortive compound in Legislation,
that has ever been attempted in Congress.
"That spell upon the minds of men
Breaks never to unite again. "

UTAH.

When Mr.. CLAY, at an early period of the
debate, drew the affecting picture OF the unjust
slight offered by aMiss California, to her elder
sister, Utah cooking up her nose and refusing
to associate with that girl, he little thought
how potent would be the influence of his affect
ing appeal. The Cinderella of the concern
is the only passenger in the Omnibus that passed
over the fatal bridge of yesterday. She so long
kept in the back ground, and treated with cold
contempt, as mere make-weght- ballast
that was to keep the Omnibus steady, has alone
escaped the general crash Of matter attending
the upsetting of that slow coach and its ventur-
Gus Phatons. Refusing TO incorporate the VIII
mot Proviso into her Constitution, and acting
upon sound American principles, she did not ex-
cite the sympathies of those so warmly solicit
Gus for the immediate entrance of California
and New Mexico, which had engrafted that princi-
ple---and 10 |! the last has been made first.-Miss
Utah trips in, while the others, like
"The Peri at the gate
or Eden, stand disconsolate,
The southern press. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1850-1852, 1850-08-01
Almost a Mistake.

Day before yesterday the friends Of the plan
of Mr.. CLAY were in high spirits. Executive
influence had been exerted in its behalf, and il
was expected to pass yesterday. By the aid OF
the two Senators Of little Delaware it was ex-
pected to drag in the Colossus Of California
through breach of the Constitution. There
upon the InteAigencer, which had maintained a
long and profound reserve, walked up and hast
ened to join the strongest side.
Alas! for the sagacity of old and cunning
politicians, the Omnibus went to pieces yester-
day, and was twice within one vote of going on
her beam ends We advise the Ltelligencer
not to be so rash again as in the following:
Although the final action of the Senate has
not yet taken place on the Compromise Bill, it
passed successfully through mn ordeal yesterday
which may be regarded as somewhat, if not
strictly, a test of its strength. This was n mo-
ton to lay the bill on the table--in other words,
to reject it--and this motion was negatived by
a majority of seven votes Although, as we
have said, this may not be an exact indication OF
the strength of the bill, it indicates clearly we
think, the gratifying fact that the Senate is not
willing to throw away all the labor which has
been expended in the effort to settle the ques-
ton, and is determined to pass either this bill or
some measure which shall have the effect to put
at rest the present pernicious agitation of the
slavery question" s48 r

The Result.

The progress of the Omnibus bill, and its re-
suit, cannot fail to teach the country porten-
tous truth; and that is, that al present the North
and South are Numerically and irreconcilably
opposed This being the state of things, we
cannot say that we regret the course of Messrs.
BERREN, KING, Downs, MORTON, ATcHIsoN and
others. They have made more concessions
than we could concur in, because we believed
that no concessions that any true Southerner
could make, would appense the exorbitant and
fauatical spirit of Northern fanatics and politi-
clans. But these gentlemen have manifested a
spirit of copciliation and concession which, al
though we sometimes thought it extreme, must
carry conviction to the world and to history,
that the South has, on this occasion, acquitted
herself of all shadow of reproach. These gen.
tlemen have done the South great service, by
the clearness, force and cogency of the argli-
ments on some points which they would not
could not yield to the North. We have not
been much in the Senate during the discussion,
but we have seen that they voted to the last
against the defeat of the BILL as if to give it every
facility Of amendment to render it practicable.
Messrs BEaRIEN and Downs, opposed with great
force and power, the amendment of MIR. NoRRIs,
to strike out an amendment adopted some days
ago, forbidding the legislatures OF the territory
from intermeddling with the slave question:
Mr.. Downs also yesterday crushed by a few re-
marks, that part Of Mr.. PEARcEs amendment
which left Mexico underlined as to limits, to
come in as territory after the next session of
Congress. To Mr. ATcHIsoN belongs the honor
of moving to strike California from the bill.
But no strength of argument, no extremity of
CONCESSION could satisfy the anti-sectional, the
National North, short of abject unconditional
submission of the South to a spoliation which
has no parallel in history-not even the partition
of Poland or the seizure of Silesia,
To the Spartan band of Southern Senators
which has stood unconquerable and immoveable
for Southern rights-defying the abuse of party,
mistaken by the faltering of friends, and undis-
mayed by the shock of formidable majority
the South owes debt of gratitude which she
never can forget, and which she never can over
pay.
The Senators of Texas have done every thing
for their State which their constituents could
demand, but have found that not even their pow
erful aid could propitiate the North. Hence
forth we trust they will see that the safety of
Texas can be sought only in the counsels of her
natural and political allies,
Let us now trust that the South will hereafter
be united by common councils and common
strength, as she is menaced by common perils.

THE INDIANS ON THE RIO GRANpE.-The Indi-
ans are making sad havoc between the Neuces
and Rio Grande. They paid visit to the Tolosa,
near Corpus Christi, few days since, killed one
Mexican, and drove off several horses. The fol-
lowing letter, dated Laredo, June 30, from a
friend, will give small idea of the operations OF
the Camanches along the Rio Grande:
"The Indians have been all around us. Three
of my cartmen, on their return from Eagle Pass,
have been murdered, my oxen killed and cargo
scattered over the prairie. News reached us last
night that Ford's Camp, at San Antonio Viejo,
had been attacked by 160 Indians, all the horses
taken and the men surrounded but determined to
sell their lives dearly. A Mexican managed to
escape and bring the news to Rio Grande City.

leve them, in fine spirits and eager anticipation
