0birtp-9irst Congress,
SATURDAY, Sept. Z.

The House took up the California bill.
The bell was read twice, when Mr.. Went.
worth strove so hard for the floor as to cause
much laughter. There was much confusion-
Mr.. Boyd was recognized. He understood that
it was unnecessary to commit it as il makes no
appropriation, The Speaker thought there was
no appropriation.
Mr. Boyd then proposed 10 amend the bill by
establishing Terri crlal Government Tor Utah
He would only remark that it was precisely the
amendment hch he offered to the / exas Boun-
Diary bill, and afterwards Withdrew.
Mr. Vlnion objected to the amendment.
The Speaker ruled the amendment to be in
order
Mr.. Vinton appealed from the decision, and
briefly argued that the amendment was not ger.
main to the bill
Mr.. McCIernand said lie would not at this late
day, protract tue debate, and moved the priv.
GUS question.
Mr.. tlars, of Tennessee, moved to lay the
appeal on the table.
The question was taken and decided in the
negatlvc-Ycas Sc Nays ! IL.
The question WIS taken on NJ VlntOn's ap-
peal, and the decision Of the Chair was reversed
IS to l07.
SO the Utah amendment was declared to be
out Of order
\ substitute, offered by Mr.. Thompson, was
now read. 1t was similar to that offered by Mr..
Sorle, in the Senate, viz, that as soon HIS soon
as California should have passed. an ordinance,
in convention, rellnqnishing the right to primary
disposal of the SOIL SC, and restricting her
southern boundary to So 30, the President
should, without farther act of Congress, issue
his proclamation, declaring California to be a
State of tue Union.
The substitute offered by Mr.. Thompson was
received, when Mr.. Orr, OF S. c., moved an a.
amendment to the original bill. The former was
! reiected-I3ltn n and the latter by I32 70 rs
@tHH. 7enaue OIL Tor the admission of Cdlifor-
MIA WAS then read aud motion was made la.
racorsder the vote. Laid on the table,
The House went into committee of the whole,
on thu bull Of providing u territorial government
for Utah, the raced Compromise Mr.. Went
worth moved an amendment proposing the vii.
mot proviso, which was rejected by a vote of IS
to 50. The bill, as it came from tie Senate,
was reported to the House, and passed by yeas,
~, nays So.
A motion was made to reconsider the vote
but il was laid on the table.

The Iowa Free Democrat says the returns
are not yet III, but adds;
Free soiIsm is manlesIy on the increase. -
Let the successful candidates tell their own
story, and we have elected at least five Free,
sollers. If anybody has cause TO rejoice in
Henry Co., it is the Frec.Soers. No man
need put himself, as a candidate, before the
people, with any hope of success, only on their
principles. Our Loco pro slavery friend, Dillon,
Is a fair exempiticaton of this fact.

Signs.

A Washington correspondence of the Tribune
says that = Il was not until after the Texas and
New Mexico bill had been twice defeated, that
the administration threw themselves into the
breach; and the battle was then soon won.-
The discreet and highly patriotic bearing both
of the President and his united Cabinet has civ
en- uubounded satisfaction 10 all parties while
the success OF Mr., FiLLMoRE's first recommen.
dations to Congress, cannot prove otherwise
than gratifying alike to him and to his friends.
Our able and patriotic President received a
large number of calls from Members of Con-
gress and others, all Of whom met with most
hearty reception, and received his unbounded
conrrauation that the former had succeeded in
delivering their country from the hands of a
corrupt and willy adversagy.
Knowing full well the danger that threatened us
on the Texan frontier, had Mr.. PERCE's bill not
passed the House, it is not to be wondered ut
that Mr. FILLMORE felt MS gratihed as his APP
peamnce clearly Indicated. The Fugitive slave
bill will be taken up Tomorrow and disposed
of in the same spirit of good faith that the other
Compromise measures have met with
That will do. But is it not now nearly time
for honest Wings to begin to ask whether there
may not be some doubt about their leaders and
their President being the only true frcesolers p

Hon. master visited these two slaves no lot e

We believe the whole country, always excepting the
abolitoniss, eesolers, and the Taylor cabinet are
anxious that the slavery and territorial questions should
now be adjusted and settled hence they hope and ex-

with view to that end. We copy the following re-
marks OF the Ohio Statesman in relation to this subject
proof Of the satisfaction with whcha settlement will
be hailed by the democratic press:

We find the following paragraphs in the letter OF the
Washington correspondent OF the New York Globe,
under date OF April 24h in relation 10 the able reply OF
Senator Bradbury to the speech Of Truman Smith, upon
the subject Of removals
Mr. Bradbury's resolutions, in regard 10 removals from
Office subsequently discussed and supported by thai
senator who replied 10 the speech Of Mr. Truman Smith
with much force OF argument and illustration He showed
the change Of position which General Taylor had evnced
the contradiction between his frat and subsequent letters
his conversion from being OF no party TO being
moderat whig and, finally, the hoowness Of this preence
Of moderation, In the selection Of nlirawhg cabinet as
his advisers and the universal and ndiscminae proscrp
ton Of every prominent democrat from office.
Mr.. Bradburys speech which reflects great credit
both upon his talents and manness Of character and am
gre ally mistaken II does contribute. In small de-
gree open the eyes Of the people to the alsehood and
violated pledges OF this administration, and TO the mbc
cliy and ncompetency which MI the executive chair AT
the general election this eachey IL OF the facts TO
be kept before the people and with this view the speech OF
Mr. Bradbury should be Ia the hands Of all those vino seek
TO guide public opinion.
