The House then went into Committee on the
Civil ind Diplomatic Appropriation Bill.
Nr. AsHHUE said that the bill from the Senate,
eppropriating ten millions for the Texas boundary,
was not p-ocfel7 such as he would frame bat II II
could not be amended 10 suit him be 90 a practical
man would vote for It as the beE! he GOULD get lie
conouired heartily and cordially in the doctrine aud
spirit Of the Presidents recent Message and re-
commentator. They were those on which he be
lieyed the Government can stand, and will be aus
tanned. He defended the President from the
attacks made upon him. and justified his conduct
with reference TO New Mexico and Texas. II the
boundary bill shall fail, not one single measure
tending 70 adjustment will pass Congress, and an
adjournment will take place only 70 send abroad
the seeds Of dissenton and members will return less
disposed than ever osette The questions. He was
willing 10 pay Texas ten millions, not for what We
owe her. BAT " hich will go toward the payment OF
her debts; he would give ten millions for peace and
this amount would be well spent rattle: than pass
smother month in such proceedings as the history
Of this Congress presents. By the passage Of the
bill we snatch from those who desire to keep up
the agitation the only practicable question about
which there can be any quarrel. We will lind
mary who are not for II, and against adjustment
and harmony. There were men IN Massachusetts,
