Yesterday the battle fought over again, but with
various success The struggle was an arduous In
the of it. great triumph has been won The
accused Wlmot Proviso was Frustrated by majority of
Joriy-one Mr. Boyds amendment. which had been de-
feated on Wednesday, was voted in and yet, after ALL
the House, by majority OF = refused to engross 1t Tor
a third reading. Still the champions OF compromise
and adju sment are not dauned or dsmayed Truth
is great and will at last prevail. The constitution
formed by perseverance, and by perseverance the Union
must be preserved.
But we shall not despair OF the republic. The proceed
ings Of yesterday certainly very analizng to the
friends OF adjustment There however, remark
able and cheering sign elected in the course Of these inter-
esting scenes. Among the various questions decided
was the Wilmot Proviso, which was presented by
Mr.. Wentworth in the form of instructions to the
Committee OF the Whole, along with boundary for
Texas, which had been proposed by Colonel Benton in
the Senate but the defeat Of the Wilmot Proviso
most decisive. It rejected by majority OF Al yeas

disposed Of, the question then up the adoption
of Mr. Boyds amendment. (unng the Texas to that

majority And yet in few moments after, when the

amended bill had been rejected Tuesday night I'm.
medately after this vote, the House adjourned.
This defeat is calculated cast gloom over the
friends of adjustment But the necessity of settling this
angry controversy is so great-the danger of collision
with Texas urgentthe importance OF giving peace to
the country, and saving the Union is 80 deeply felt by
every patriot that is impossible for the present Congress
to adjourn and leave everything confusion II is high
time for every who loves his country rush the
rescue The bill yesterday defeated by an extraor
binary combination OF the of the extremists of the
North and South. We cannot abandon the hope that
a majority of moderate will be found to settle
the question. The amendment OF Mr.. Boyd cannot
il is said, be reconsidered, but the adjustment of
the boundary must be again presented in other

whether the California bill will first be taken up, the
New Mexico bill, the Utah BILL whether these bills
will be reunited III whole or in part Experiments will
no doubt be tried to settle the question. But in
triumph in the vote of yesterday we rejoice. Wesn-
cerey congratulate the country the utter defeat OF the
Wimo Proviso The South will now see, and cannot
be deceived this point, that northern brethren will
save the South from that monster.
/ But time presses-delay is danger. Something must
be done, and the republic must be saved. We know
