The Senate's Bills.

BY reference to our Congressional reports 1t
will be seen that the House Of Representatives
yesterday took up the bill from the Senate for
the adjustment of the Texas boundary, and that
there was motion made to amend it by attach
ing thereto the Territorial bills, which motion
is still pending. The probability is that there
will be motion made to-day TO amend the
amendment by hitching on the California bill.
The result Of these motions 10 combine the
measures in one bill we shall not undertake to
predict How the union Of the bills, should II
be effected, can facilitate the passage OF all, we
to perceve-particularly after the failure OF the
same experiment in the Senate, and the prompt
adoption of the measures by that body when
they were taken up in detail

on both sides of the river, as a Mexican pro
vince, having Santa Fe for its capital, and that
they did not recognise ii as part OF Texas
1t has been shown that although President
Polk said he believed Texas justly asserted a
right to the whole territory this side Of the Rio
Grande, he nevertheless regarded it as subject
aehich more property belonged 10 the Legislative
than 10 the Ereeilioe branch Of The Government.
1t has been shown that President Polk said:
"By the cession of .Neto .uerieo, OF both sides
of the Rio Grande, to the United States, the
question of boundary, SO far as Mexico is CON
cerned, has been settled, leaning the question
as 10 the true limits Of 1eras and .Nuc .uerico
: TO be adjusted betlceen that State and the Uni
= ted States"
1t has been shown that this is not a case
where the opinion of the Executive or the ac-
ton of an administrative officer could be avaied
of to make OF prove title, or be truly regarded
as recognition by the Government Of the Uni
ted States of the right of Texas.
1t has been shown that the Government of
the United States acquired possession of this
territory by conquest, and hold rightfuly pos
session until the powers-Texas and the Uni
ted States-whch alone are competent to set
tie the title, shall do 50.
1t has been shown that, if Texas should un-
dertake, by military force, 10 establish her jul
risdiction, and to GUST the United States, it
would be levying of war upon the United
States, and the responsibility would rest upon
Texas
All these things were clearly shown by the
distinguished author Of the Texas Boundary
bill, Mr.. PEARcE, of Maryland, before ''Mr.
FLLMoRE's message and Mr. WEEsrER's ac-
companying letter were laid before Congress"
Is he one of "the Free soil apologists Of the
administration, alluded to by the Union?
Cannot the editor of the Union be made TO
understand that throughout his article he ''begs
the question:" and that thus begging it, he
makes spectacle of himself by charging those
who take the other side of the question with
making statements 'destitute Of truth - 'des-
titute of foundation not entitled to ''cre-

From MrNNEsorA.-Our latest dates from st,
Paul OF the 18th instant The canvass for del
egatc to represent the Territory in Congress was
proceeding with great spirit. Several party con-
ventions had been held in St. Paul, Saltwater, and
other places, upon the subject The nomination of
Col A. NJ. Mitchell by the territorial party had
caused the summoning Of second convention,
composed of the opposition u was held at St Paul
on the 10th, and nominated David Olmsted, whose
name, perceive appears at the head of the edi-
toria columns of the Chronicle and Register, the
Whig paper of the Territory. The Pioneer, Loco
foco, hosts the name Of the Hon. III. III. Sibley, the
present delegate. The Chronicle and Register has
changed hands, butis new editor announces his sem
tmens as favorable to the national and territorial
administrations. A Wing convention has been held
at Saltwater, which unanimously nominated Col.
N. Green Wilcox as the Wing candidate for dele
gate TO Congress.
Such ia the demand in ST. Paul for building ma
terals, says the Pioneer, that while the lumber
taken down the Mississippi river from our own
neighborhcod is selling at St Louis for about ten or
eleven dollars per thousand, the same description
sold readily at ST. Paul for seventeen dollars per
thousand.

The GALE.-During the whole Of last week the
weather presented a strange and threatening APP
pearance, and many predicted that we should have
another gale About IL O'Clock Saturday night
storm of wind from $. to w, accompanied by rain
set in, and continued throughout the night and up
to Sunday morning until O'Clock, with great yio-
lencc. The effects in the city have been but little
seen, except the tearing up OF the tin roofs OF lew
houses; the new Nj. e. church on Cranky street, we
are sorry 10 sec, has suffered the most. The dam
age in the country has been very great; houses
were blown down or moved from their places. Trees
uproo,ed, and the crops of which had but bare
ly recovered from the effects Of the other gale, were
again Frustrated.
On Back river a white woman and two children
killed, by the house in which they lived being
blown down. The shipping the coast has not
been heard from, but we fear the damage there has
been very great. The steamer Georgia from Bal
timOrv, and Usceols from Washington, were both
in the bay and had very rough night. The latter
had her pilot bouse entirely blown off They,
however, arrived few hours after their usual time
without further accident.--NoJok Beacon, 27h.

consciousness ofmy peculiar nervous tempera-
ment, which too readily responds to causes OF ex-
element and depression, would have prompted me,
in the first place, decline the offer; but the kind
manner of the appointment, accompanied by the
good wishes of the Cabinet and backed by the
pressing urgency of friends, made so strong an I'M
preston upon me to leave me no alternative but
to accept. A brief experience of the arduous la
bors and responsibilities of the position, in
connexon with considerations of private and do
mestic nature, which press upon me with great
force, has brought me to the conclusion that due
observance of duty to my family and myself re-
quire my withdrawal.
In thus dissolving my brief official association
with you, permit me TO say, that cherish conf
dent reliance upon the patriotism, capabty, and
worth of every member of the Administration, and
a hopeful assurance of its success. To this end no
effort of mine, in my retirement, shall, at any

This is a most profitable and highly enter tanning
narrative OF the events Transporting in an interest
ing portion Of the world five hundred years before
the Christian era. II is designed, we presume, TO
attract the young reader to the subject and to ex
cite his curiosity To peruse the more minute and
satisfactory records Of the matters related. II Is
gotten up in neat and handsome style, and illus-
tratcd by several maps and views Of scenes de-

woMAv.-Wc have before us a beautifully
printed pamphlet from the press Of Murphy Co,
Baltimore, entitled " Woman her Character, her
Position, and her Treatment, from the Earliest
Days down to the present Times; being the sub
stance Of Lecture delivered before the Baltimore
Addison Lycoum, by LOUIS FITZGERALD TAsrs-
;" and dedicated in terms Of high and deserved
praise TO Mrs. General MAconB. In this dedca-
ton, however, the city of Washington is spoken OF
" ono of the most artificial communities in the
world-a community where the charities Of social
life are hourly inundated on the altar Of intoler-
ancc-wherc the specious semblancc of virtue, both
in ethics and in religion, is made TO conceal the
prevalence of the most detestable practices" Such
we arc TO presume, are the convictions of Mr.. Ia
sistro; and, as such, willing for them to 60
forth to the world without effort on our part to
refute them.
The lecture itself is an elegant production, and
in prac teal manner exposes many Of the falla-
cies of education and exhibits sound views Of what
female culture should be. The author would, how
ever restrict woman TO a narrower sphere than we
believe to be compatible with the truly enlightened
opinions Of the present era.
The reader will be well recompensed for the pc
rusal of this pamphlet, and we commend II to him.
