WASHINGTON City, Sept. 6, 1850.
The House of Representatives has done one good
days work The bill establishing the Territory of
New Mexico and prescribing the boundaries of
Texas has just passed by 10 majority. California,
with her rich treasures and golden sands, will to-
morrow be member Of the Union. This result has
been achieved the heads of the most despcable
faction which ever disgraced this country. Men
who, in the madness of the hour would have driven
the car of State into the yawning gulf of destruc-
ton. But the moderate conservative and patriotic
men have triumphed. 1t is triumph of no political
party; and here let pause to bear evidence to the
noble and patriotic stand taken by President Fill
more and his Cabinet Their conduct forms bril-
liant contrast with the Galphin concern, which,
der the providence of God, is no more. Ii was from
the beginning fearful struggle against the most
holy and unnatural combination ever formed. No
thing less than band of disunionsts all riding in
the omnibus, and alidrivng to the same desti-
nation. Here your Wilmots, Kings, Gid
dingses, Crowells Roots, Chases and Hales, who
would dissolve this Union if the Wimot proviso was
not adopted, acting in concert with Burt, Davis, of
Miss, Hunter Mason Inge, Wallace, and host OF
was adopted The last plank of the Disunionist has
sunk, and their only hope is now, that as madness
rules the hour in Georgia, the Disunion party will
make some demonstration there Speaker Cobb
bore himself well in the conflict He stood up for
the and the country against the most terri
BILE pressure upon him. On day before yesterday the
bill was defeated Yesterday il was reconSidered,
amended, and again defeated To-day ii was recon
sidered again and passed by ten majority. On yes
terday there vote the proviso. II was of
fered by Mr.. Wentworth of Illinois, coupled with an
alteration in the boundary, which, so far as the
boundary was concerned, was much more accepta-
bic to the North. II may therefore be regarded a.
fair test of the strength of that fre-brand in the
House, and on fair vote ii was voted down by Al
majority OF the Indiana delegation, Messrs. Rob
iuson, Julian, Harlan, Fitch and Mcdonald voted
for it, and Messrs. Albertson, Dunham, Brown, Cor
man and McGaughey against it. Robinson, Nc
Donald and Fitch voting they had pledged them
selves to vote during their On the passage
of the bill they all voted for it except Julian Har
Ian and McGaughey. On the final vote the scene
was most exciting one. Mr. Morris, Gree soiD o
Ohio, demanded that the lobbies be cleared ant
when the result was announced, there was a sligh
cheering in the galleries, which suppressed
by the frmness OF the Speaker. Mr.. Ashe, of Nortl
Carolina, moved that the galleries be cleared; bu
at the suggestion of friends withdrew it. / saw
/ upon the floor of the House, Senator's Clay, Cass
Dickinson, Bright, Foote, Whitcomb, Badger ant
other friends of the Union, who seemed delighted
the glorious consummation of their labors. Cas-
said it the happiest hour of his life; he witness
/ ed his so much reved doctrine Of non-interyentiol
being sustained by wings and democrats. Foots
was i'm eXtacies. | went round and took Mr.. CLAY
by the hand, and tears stood in his eyes he salt
the country safe. Poor Chase, of Ohio, wht
has been chasing phantom all his life, looked as
the death of the PToviso, the death of his las
friend The free-soerS have raised the cry of re
peal They say they will agitate and agitate, unit
the law is repealed and their beloved proviso adopt
ed. If they do, / trust wings and democrats vii
set their faces against them. They will make in
famaory speeches; but let not the people be agitat
ed. ''They call spirits from the vasty deep, bu
will they come?'' And if they do
''Infected be the air whereon they ride
And damned all those that trust them"
The telegraph will long since have announced th
result. / shall not therefore deem it necessary T.
give the particulars. The Rubicon is passed. Th
country is safe. Let all rejoice. XAVIER.
