WAsEscroS, Tuesdsy, Aug. Is
The vote in the Senate yesterday ordering the
BILL reported by the Committee on Territ ,ries, for
the admission Of California, to be engrossed for
third reading, places the contingency Of its anal
passage through that body beyond any doubt. Two
or three speeches remain yet to be made by the
impractcabes of the South, but before the Senate
adjourns to day, the responsibility Of receiving Or
rejecting California will rest with the House Of Re
presentives alone. There death.strugele will be
made, which in the end will recoil upon the fac.
tionsts at both extremes ofthe Union.
The Texas Boundary bill will, in all probability,
be frat considered b. the House, as the necessity
is most urgent that /! should in some way be dis
posed OF within very short time. With its pre-
sent boundary, its fate is extremely doubtful,
though in my own judgment it can pass az it is /;
with the boundary amended, so as TO agree with
the boundary fixed upon in the Compromise bill, it
can pass through the House by thirty majority. 1t
is not the money TO be paid that is made cause
of objection by many who now are unfavoraby dis
posed toward the Senate bill, but it is the sur
render Of Free Territory to Texas and that, too
with a much greater area than Texas was per
fectly willing to accept under the Compromise
bill. Yet with either Of the aboverefered to
boundaries, the GIDDIsGs, Roor & Co. factions of
the Free States, and the South Carolina Disunion
faction Of the Slave States will coaesce to defes.
it. GIDDISGs yefterday opened the onslaught
upon any reasonable settlement Of the boundary
dispute, in speech OF characteristic virulence and
ultr aism and judging from the lecture he read the
North, q stranger would have supposed his hands
at least were clean from the crime OF having con-
trbuted 10 the unconstitutional and UMPIRE cedented
manner in which Texas was annexed TO the
United States. And yet the history OF the country
will show that GlDDISGs,T BIRsEr Co. with their
Abolition allies, directly contributed to the election
of Mr.. Polk, by avowing that he was less a stumb-
ling block to the progress OF Freedom than would
be- the election OF AR. CLAY. 1t was agitation,
then, either by lawful or unlawful means, that
lhese uDprincipled dsorganzep wanted and'
it is agitation now That they are struggling for,
snd which they are willing TO purchase, even
by q coalition with the Disunionists, and the con
sequent surrender in the end OF the whole Of that
portion OF NewMo xico that is fraudule.ty claimed
by Texas
Mr. GIpDIsGs after he concluded his harangue
against the President and his Administration, found
a willing ally in his disorganizing and revolution
sry projects, in the person OF his Loco Foco friend
from Tennesse-AEDREw JOHNSON. This South
ern disorganizer took the cue furnished him by Mr.
GIDDISGs, and continued the system Of detraction
sgainst the President, and the patriot; and national
views contained in his Message. And thus, even
before the Texas Boundary Bill is taken up, the
race is fairly entered upon, between the utras of
the TWO sections Of the Union, which shall exhibit
the gre latest violence, and go the furthest toward
defeating all propositions designed to reconcile the
differences between the North and the South, and
to perpetuste the Union Of these States.
There are also Gome OF the Representatives from
your State who will be governed, fear, in the
"6ater end opposition they will manifest against
the Texas BILL by personal feelings OF hostility TO-
ward the Administration. All such will ind IN the
end that they have dug their own political graves,
without having in the ast retarded the popularity
or usefulness Of this Administration. Mr.. FILL
MoRR has taken bis course, and Will not depArtirom
it, He has dono what he knows to be just toward
all sections of the Union, and what he conscien.
tousy believes to be his duty under the Cons.itu.
ton. which by oath be is required imparsally aud
with fidelity to observe. And no petty annOyances,
either from bis own State or any other, will disturb
in the least his equanmity, or swerve him en- inch
from treading that path which, as the Chic Execu-
tive of the nation he sees clearly opened before
him He is heart and soul determined to have this
Slavery controversy adjusted upon national princ-
-
Of our institutions. And If few ofthe Represent.
atives from bis own State are willing to wage
war Of faction az ainst those measures which he
recomn ends, and which the dearest interests OF
OR country require should be carried out the
people, at this Falls election, should remedy this
evil through the constitutional medium OF the bal
lot-b
No one can make me believe that New.Yo will
be more illiberal in the adjustment OF the Texas
Boundary, as well as in the settlement Of all other
propositions necessarily arising Iom disposing Of
the Slavery controversy than the SIX New England
States have exhibited in the Senats. OF their
twelve Senators, EIGHT voted for the Texas
bill, and OF the thirty votes given for it eighteen
we're Senators from the Free States while but eight
Senstors of the free States voted against it. Ofthe
twentyfou Southern Senators who voted at ALL the
vote waa equally divided, twelve going for aad
twelve against it. Why, then, If the Compromise
Boundary cannot be obtained in the House OF KS.

the Disunionists Of the South and the Giddings
