great Days work-The other two n,Il. paced,
We have to announce to readers the very important
intelligence that yesterday the House of Representatives
nassed the California bill by vote of 1850 TO 5s-94 ma
ouv 1t passed the House as it came from the Senate,
without the slightest amendment Various motions were
made 10 amend il delay its passage But the friends
Of the bill strong in numbers and strong in resoll-
ton, and they voted down every motion, AS soon,
therefore, it receives the Presidents signature it will
become the law OF the land; and presume therefore,
the two senators from California (Messrs Gwin and
fremon will take the seats for which they have long
been destined, and her two representatives (Messrs
Wright and Gilbert) will be admitted to seats in the
House Thus the waters OF the Pacific will guratively
nge with those Of the Atlantic, and the representa-
lives from the western shore Of an extensive empire will
be found assocaiing in generous communion with the
representatives Of the good Old Thirteen.
But the labors Of the day did not terminate here AS
soon as the California bill had passed. (after an unaval
Ing attempt in the early part Of the session to combine
them in the omnibus.) the Utah bill taken up There
being clause in il which involved an appropriation OF
money, it became necessary to commit it to the Commit
eo the Whole and having passed through that process
was returned to the House. Some amendments had
been proposed but were all defeated Among these was
proposition by Mr. John Wentworth to attach the &C
cursed Wimot Proviso to it. This amendment was re-.
scted by decided majorty--there being, under
and not more than so who willing to countenance
it, (As no yeas and nays were taken in Committee of
The Whole, we unable to ascertain the precise ma
prity by which it doomed to the grave) When the
bill returned into the House short debate ensued
in which Messrs Seldom, Bayly and Toombs, SC. par.
icipated Mr.. Bayly expressed hope that no more
,mendm ents would be proposed, and that the bill would
pass mntng the House OF the fact that this very bill
bad passed the Senate with very little oppositonthat it
had received the of all of the south
e senator's and among them the senators from Virginia
Upon taking the question by yeas and nays, this bill
passed by majority of 10.
The only bill from the Senate which remains on the
liable Of the House, in relation this system OF compro
and adjustment, is the fugitive slave bill. which
trust will be passed by the House without delay as
generally acceptable to the southern people, and as
calculated to carry out the guarantees Of the constitution
and 10 secure the restitution OF fugitive slaves.
Thus ends the most momentous, and busy and efficient
week oil the whole session Of than nine months Four
bills Of nexpressble importance have passed the House
Of Representatives in two days. We indulge no strain
Of erultaton, bu, deeply impressed with the i'm
mense consequences which these movements will pro-
duce Viewing them means which essentially con-
tribute to save the Union and give peace to distracted
country, we hail the adoption of this great system of
measures with satisfaction and gratitude. Let

Again, we congratulate countrymen on the pros
