HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

Yesterday, Immediately on coming together, the
House went into Committee of the Whole on
the state of the Union the case Of the applica-
ton of Fl. N. Smith, to be admitted as the dele
gate from New Mexico.-Mr. McLANE in the
Chair.
MIR. BAYLY, who was entitled TO the floor,
went on to address the committee; saying that UNI
til Mr.. McGAUGHEY had delivered his extraordi-
nary speech on this question, he entertained no
thought Of addressing the House. The character
Of that speech was such, however, as to counsel
him to take part in this debate. Among other ex-
traordnary positions, Mr.. McGAUcHEy had held
that, after ALL no one else had an interest in this
question except Mr.. Fl. N. Smith. Arguing to
sustain this position, he Mr.. MEG had declared
his belief that, in short time, New Mexico
would be admitted as State of this Union. This
declaration of importance, as il was generally
known and admitted, that Mr.. MEG. spoke the
sentiments, III such cases, OF very large party
here, who stood prepared sanction the enorInity
involved in such legislation.
But this system Of usurpaton had commenced
with the termination OF the last Congress. From
that time until the present, each step taken by
the Government concerning the territories, had in
volved itdeeper and deeper in violation of law and
the Constitution.
Mr.. B. had rehearsed and criticised at length
the orders ofthe late President 10 the military Off
GERS in California and New Mexico, maintaining
that those orders and conduct of Col. Monroe
under them especially, had greatly served to COM
plicate the difficulties now threatening dissou-
ton ofthe Union. He held the act of sending T.
B. King, a member of Congress, to California as
regularly constituted agent of the Government,
to be palpable violation Of the Constitution of
the United States, as well as that Of Georgia, as
ne proceeded to prove. The payment of the ex-
penses Mr. King, as well as the calling of the
convention in California, and the payment Of the

GERRIT SMITH AND HIS DoNEEs.-Not only
those who give themselves up to the pursuits of
acquisition, but those even who take the con
trary course, and give away instead of heaping
up riches, are doomed to vexation and dsap-
pontment. Gerrit Smith, private citizen OF
the State of New York, has for some years
past been engaged in distributing wealth, and
giving away land in the fee simple, and it may
be said cu bono. What good has he done !
He has found out at least one of the certain
and most wonderful characteristics of human
nature, that men refuse to receive good they
are determined not to be beneftted-or, il they

viduals called together were there. consequently
nothing was done. These persons have re-
ceived the land, taken the deeds, and remain in
the city, following their usual poor and nm
healthy trades, rather than become free and in
dependent farmers. What comment this af.

munication-:
/ 'On recent visit to a neighboring State, it
was my fortune to listen, from time to time, to
the conversation of several divinity students
connected with one of our best theological SEMI
inaries. Their favorite theme seemed 10 be sla-
very, and the obligations to obey the Constitu-
ton; and must confess that / was surprised
and panied at the character of their remarks
There is spirit Of radicalisrn abroad in our land
which has Infected few ministers of the gospel
and few laymen, who under its influence are
doing much to destroy all respect for any law,
and to encourage its open violation For min
isters of the gospel it is time to pause They
should reflect that when hey shall have des-
troyed, by their precept and example a just re-
spect and sense Of obligation to maintain the
laws Of the land, in the minds of the masses,
who look up TO them as their teachers, they will
have done much to destroy in the same minds
all true respect for themselves and their sacred
Office and that from that point it is but a step
to rank and open infdelity. They should look
also at Garrison, who once stood as fair as
themselves, and take warming
/ One or more of these young theoorians
gravely declared that it would be most glori-
GUS and praiseworthy employment to 90 into
slayeholding State, and entice and aid slaves to
run away from their masters / am happy to
know that in none of their radical notions do
they find the least sympathy or encouragement
from their teachers"
Ofcourse nobody is to blame for their enter
tanning such opinions-forw when a boiler bursts
no blame is ever attached to the captain, but the
public sentiment must be strong indeed when
religious fanatieism is brought to bear against
the teachings and express injunctions of the
Bible.
These wolves in sleeps clothing should be
watched closely, if they attempt to make in
cursions on our Southern folds for the pious
purposes proclaimed.
