Mr. Clingman explained the am
endment. His object was to make
new territorial organization out of
that portion of California within the
bounds described in his amendment.
If; he said, the North would give
proper territory, slavery will go
there, as it was mining country.
MIR. Ashmun obtained the floor,
and expressed his readiness to vote
for all measures separately; or, if

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.
"A glance at your report of yester-
days proceedings in the House,
will show you that all my foreshai-
oWings of the movements of the Tar
lttltes have been verified to the letter.
The tariff clause, which Mr.. Hamp-
ton OF Pennsylvania, proposed to in
sert in the Civil and Diplomatic bill,
was the result of the caucus of which
gaveyou an intimation. The origi-
nal shape was that Of fiii biii, but ii
was changed to suit the emergency.
Encouraged by the closeness of
the test vote (that ON sustaining the
decision of the chair, ruling their
movement out of order, 81 to m the
friends ofthe measure have had anoth-
Ell caucus, and have been busy as
nailefs ever since, looking to another
trial of their strength. They have
not much nope of finally CARRYING
their Tariff amendment to the Ap-
preparation bill through the House;
but Trey are anxious to get their
names unpon the record Of yeas and

tons of the county, that they should
make show of hands. One would
think at the first glance, that they
would be afraid of defeating, or at

the bill, the same majority that could
effect that would be able to pass the
bill with the Tariff clause. and that
the Northern Democrats would not
risk a vote against a bill of such
great Importance on account of such
addition to it. Whether they reckon
Alright or not, they will certainly
make the trial tomorrow. n
There will be another effort made,
tomorrow, to get a time fixed for the
final adjournment. Some of the
friends of the movement have been
stirring round to-day, with that view.
| do not think it will succeed. Nor
do think it would effect any good
purpose. 1 still think that the best
way to aii early Adjournment would
be to go earnestly to work and get
ready for it, in other words to work
for it. ~
