The Omnibus, Defeated

DRAFTED compromise Bill, Slgnihcantly called the
f" Omnibus" has signally failed, and the Sena-
tors and Representatives have now got to show
how they stand as regards the admission Of Cal
ifornia and Freedom in territories. The admis-
sion of California will soon follow without much
opposition and we have but little doubt that Con-
gress will not hesitate 10 grant the expressed
wishes OF the people of New Mexico.
We annex the proceedings of Congress on the
subject:
WASHINGTON, July 81
SENATE.-The New Mexico sections having
been stricken out for amendment, the motion to
strike out all bat California sections failed-29
%. When motion to strike out all but U tab
was carried "a to rs.
Finally the Senate, after defeating several at
tempts to ADJOURN postpone, &c, ordered the bill
providing merely Territorial Government for
Utah, to be engrossed for third reading. Yeas

tee on the Oregon Land Bill Objected to.
| The bill for relief of soldiers Of Florida, was

Mr. Duer moved Committee of the whole on
| the appropriation bill.
WASHINGTON, August 2.
Mr.. Pearce said his whole object was to get
| rid of Mr. Dawson's amendment After mo-
ment's reflection, he had determined to attempt
it even at the risk of defeating the bill, though
| he was in favor of it properly amended. He
would never shrink from his share of response
bility of its defeat. The Senators from Texas
are equally chargeable with defeating it.
Mr.. Clay repeated his charge, and in proof CT
| ted Mr.. Pearce's course yesterday, and said he
refused three propositions MADE for his accom-
mediation.
Mr. Pearce further explained, and charged
| Dawson with defeating it.
| Mr. Rusk said that striking out Mr. Dawson's
amendment they ought to defeat the bill. They
| would sanction no adjustment which assumed
the title of the United States. Dawson's amend
ment of the bill obviated any assumption.
Mr.. Mason opposed the bill strenuously-
/ The South will accept nothing short of the Mis-
souri, line-rather disunion and war;
Mr. Butler expressed similar views to Mr.. CLAY.
He spoke warmly OF South Carolina sentiments
| and temperature.
Mr.. Clay reoined periodically, warned Texas
and the south, that ifthey expected the co-opera-
ton of the army and navy they were mistaken
The whole military force would stand by the
| Union.
Mr.. Foote answered Messrs. Mason and But
Ter, and ridiculed the idea of South Cardinals
disunion, to the great merrment of Senators and
the galleries.
Mutual rejoinders followed
Mr.. Hale thought there was not much left for
Congress to do; according to Southern views
Fifteen Southern States, according to Mason,
were going to declare themselves soveregns,
separate, anddo as they pleased. The north had
nothing to do but 60 home.
Mr. Dickinson took suggestion of Mr. Hale,
and congratulated the country on the good sue
| cess of the ultraists against him. He hoped
they would keep united, and not think of fight
ing each other.
AT the suggestion of Mr.. Douglas, the Omni-
bus bill was finally passed--the title amended to
the government of Utah. Amid laughter, ad-
journed.
