WASHINGTON. March 10.

SENATE.-A bill reported from the
Committee of the District of Columbia
giving permission to the corpor alton to
construct certain works necessary in
view of tbs early completion of the
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal TO Cumber-
land, was taken up, discussed, and pass
ed.
An act providing for The payment OF
interest on transferred war bounty scrip
was taken up, amended, and passed;
The Senate resumed the considera.
ton of Mr.. Clay's resolutions.
Mr.. Badger resumed his remarks, and
said tina, the Wilmot Proviso ought to
be dropped altogether, even admitting
the fact, it was highly reprehensihle and
entirely useless; it was bad plan to a
dept the rule Of demanding and exerci-
sing the right to do everything tina, we
have the power to do. the assertion of
extreme right was always odious, and
when adopted must eventually lead To
despolism.
HousE.-Mr. Fuller, from the Com
mittee of Printing, made report in fa-
vor OF printing 5000 extra copies of the
report of the COMMITTEE on Roads and
Conals, setting apart certain public lands
for the construction of Whitney's Rail
Road. Mr.. Bowlin was opposed to the
measure-tte bill countenanced one of

PACIFIC RAIL RoAD.-From present
indications in Congress, there is every
reason to believe Whitney's plan for
building the Pacific Rail Road will be
adopted. Congress is SO entirely ea-
crossed in the Slavery question, howev-
er, that it is very doubtful whether any
line will be devoted to this or any other
business so imperitively demanded by
the country. The great West and espe.
cially this young State, has been looking
to the present session of Congress for
liberal appropriations for works of inter-
nal Improvements, and we have every
thing to hope, from the administration,
which is SO strongly in favor of these
works; and yet this eternal wrangling,
this endless ding-ding about slavery, will
very probably, disappont all our expec-
tations.

The New CENsUs-CoNGREssIoNAL
DIsTRIcTs.-There appears to be an ex-
preston in some quarters, that under the
approaching Census, this State will be
entitled to an additional representative in
Congress. This impression springs from
the fact that there has been a very great
increase Of population in the State since
Iowa was admitted into the Union.
Ii must be recollecled, however, that
two Representatives were assigned the
State upon her admission, before she was
entitled TO them by right of numbers, on
the ground of her prospective rapid in.
crease of population. We have up to
the present time but little exceeded the
population required for two Representa-
lives in Congress under the present ratio
of representation. And tits highly prob
able that ratio will be increased,to over a
hundred thousand inhabitants to each
Representative by the present Congress,
and we shall be left las we were."
We trust there may oe no ercuse for
another Extra Session" of the Iowa
Legislature during the present generation;
we do not think there is any necessity for
one a, all events on the present occasion.
