election in Connecticut, was SEYMOUR, Dem, 49,

Them 10 proposition Of new Stale oil
California.
The question of slavery in the District
Of Columbia aud slavery in the States has
remained untouched. Therefore there
are no reasons for Inc agitation and the
fears prolessed in The slave States. He
desired to do with all these questions as
Congress had done for sixty years-]et
them alone! The fact that the slave mar
kel is better now than sixty years ago, was
evidence that there Is no DANCE" to the
rights of the slave sales. Not only was
there no danger, but he argued that he had,
by the act of Northern men, added slave
territory, and thus shows its disposition TO
build up, instead Of defeating, the slave
holding interest. MIR Benton commented
upon The anomalous condition OF Calltor-
nia, and the strong necessity for immedi-
ate measures for immediate relief. He
concluded with an eloquent allusion to the
destiny of the country on the Pacific.
Mr., Clay submitted a few remarks in
relation TO his position on the California
question. The only difference between
him and Col. Benton was that he believed
that California would be most speedily ad-
rni,ted by combination with other meas
ures. MIR C, disapproved Of the combina-
ton. lie was in favor Of meeting argu-
ment with reason, and when he found him
self in a minority, to submit He denied
that California was State. She never
would be such until she received the seal
and sanction Of Congress, who might to-
morrow enact her into a territory. The
proposition now pending was to settle the
question in controversy by compromise.
He was in favor OF an honorable adjust
ment, especially among brethren, where,
if we concede anything, it is TO our own
counIrymen.
Mr. Benton rejoined, contending that
the admission of Missouri was provided for
in the joint resolution.
Mr.. Fooe remarked that his motion 10
refer to Select Committee, was simply to
give the question involved to a committee,
who should report by Bill, or otherwise,
wilhou, any directions to connect two or
more subjects in one.

WASHINGTON, April 8.

SENATE-Afler the presentation of nu-
merous reports fEom Committees, and the
transaction OF the morning business, the
Senate proceeded to the consideration OF
the special order cf the day, being Mr.
Foote'S motion 10 refer Bells Resolution to
Select Committee of thirteen.
Mr. Douglass gave notice that after Mr..
Benton should have concluded his remarks,
he would ask the Senate 10 take up the
Califoania Bill.
Mr.. Benton proceeded TO address the
Senate. Il was proposed TO make the ad-
mission Of California part of system OF
measures for the settlement Of the whole
question of slavery.
Hewns opposed to mixing up Of subjects
having no affinilies, and in favor of giving
California admission separate consldera-
ton aud decision, on its own merits. She
was State. and should not be mixed up
with anything below The dignity OF State.
She washed her hands oil slavery at home
and should not be mixed up with it abroad.
fIe.was opposed TO mixing the question Of
admitting California with all the questions
Of slayery. The subjects are-Flrst, The
creation of territorial government in
New Mexico and the remaining part Of
California. Second, The. creation Of q
new State in Texas and the settlement of
her dispute with NV Mexico, and the ces-
sion of her surplus territories to the U. 5.
Third, The re capture Of fugitive slaves
Fourth, Yhe suppression OF the slave trade
in the District oil Columbia. Fifth, The
abolition of the slave trade in the States
SIKH, The abolition Of slavery within The
United States; and the non enumerated
catalogue of oppression, DEPRESSION and
encronchment upon The South.
This was the last Of subjects, and he was
against the mixture, for reasons applied to
the whole in lump ana to each separate
ingredient. California had right to be
treated as other States have been, when
asking ior admission into the Union. None
of which has been subjected to the indlg-
nifty of having their supplications coupled
with inferior and foreign questions.
The question Of Territorial Government
brought up the Wiimot proviso. The
principle involved in which. had already
been settled by California, for herself, fol
the purpose Of renewing all impedimenls
to her admission. How unjust then to con
nee. it with the question of admission, te
make her admission dependent on prece.
dent Of settlement. With respect to two
neighboring territories, the controverted
constitutionalty, and therefore, should no
be mixed up with subject clearly and be
yoHd doubt constitutional. He was ready

and believed slavery extinct in New Mex
leo and all California, and cannot be re
vived in any part of either, without posi-
tive enactments. He was ready TO vot'

ON the subject Of slavery. Bot he woale

MR.. CALHOUN'S SUCCESSOR.
PHILADELPHIA, April IL.

Upon receiving news Of Mr. Calhoun's
death, Gov. Seabrook wrote to Gen James
Hamilton, rendering him The vacant seat
in the United States Senate.
Gen Fl. accepted in long letter, written
in a genuine alarmist spirit, and talking
about the necessity Of the secession Of
South Carolina from the Union, unless the
Southern States would remain in it as equals,
&c. .s6-L
A subsequent letter from Gen H. stated
that he declined the office in consequence
of some doubts existing as to his residence,
as he has taken house in Savannah the
past winter, although his fixed home was
in Button, S. c. ia f"it's
The Governor assented to the Genl's
doubts, and the vacant seat is no. ys. filed
