should come from the Wing side /
of the House 1t was due TO them.
Mr.. Thompson, of Miss, preferred the mo-
ton made by Mr.. Moore. He did not think
the committee should be instructed to invest
gate everything.
Mr.. Moore said he would amend his reso-
luton so as to inquire into the circumstances
of the passage OF the tialphin bill.
Mr.. Thompson, of Miss, was opposed to
Inuuring into the conduct of their predeces-
sors.
Mr.. Johnson, Of Ark, said the Secretary Of
War had reason fer asking an investigation,
and Mr.. J. wanted 10 see Wings do right,
but hoped that the House would not instruct
the committee to investigate other subjects
and embarrass this inquiry.
Mr.. Thompson, Of Miss, trusted that no
general debate would be irduIged in. II
would BE- imprudent at this time.
Mr.. Sweetzer withdrew his amendment.
/ Mr.. Duer said there was no propriety in
debating this subject. and moved the previ-
GUS question. The House voted, but there
was no quorum.
A Motion to adjourn was then made and
lost. A call Of the House was then moved
and refused.

investigate all the circumstances connected
with the passage of the GaIphin bill, whether
the opinion Of the Comptroller of the Treas
ury had been overruIed, and that the COM
mittee have power to send for persons and
papers.
Mr.. Moore modified his resolution so as to
investigate all matters connected with the
claim, which might be presented to the COM
mittee, so far as concerned the Secretary of
war.
The previous question was seconded by
Mr.. Mattison. The amendment was reject
ed.

WASHINGTON, April IL.
SENATE.


SENATE.
Mr.. Cass presented the joint resolutions of
the State Legislature of Michigan recinding
their former instructions to the Senators and
Representatives in Congress from that State
in reference to the Wimot proviso. He ex
pressed great pleasure in having it in his
power to present these resolutions, as he re-
garded it as a peace-ofering, and hoped they
would regard 1t as such.
Mr.. Douglass presented memorial for the
free navigation of the ST. Lawrence river
He hoped immediate action would be taken
in order tn secure a new outlet for the full
trade ofthe West.
Mr.. Seward moved the memorial be prin-
ted, but contended that the Erie canal sup
piled all the facilities necessary for the COM
merce of the West.
The Senate then resumed the consideration
of Mr.. Bells resolutions upon the subject of
slavery, which Mr. Foote had moved to refer
to select committee of thirteen with in
structions to endeavor to report some plan for
the settlement Of all questions accruing from
the institution OF slavery.
To this motion Mr. Baldwin had moved an
amendment, viz: "Providing the question of
the admission of California should not be con-
nected with the same"
The question having been stated by the
chair Mr.. Benton rose to address the Senate
upon the amendment offered by Mr.. Bald
win.
Mr.. Benton briefly cited facts supporting
him in the positions he had assumed; and
said that during sixty years of legislation in
! Congress, he had never seen the question for
the admission of a State coupled with any
other.
Mr.. Clay sponded-again citing the in
stance ofthe admission Of the State of Mis-
souri-and proceeded with some remarks, for
the purpose of showing that no injustice
would be done to California by the reference
proposed. He would not consent to couple
CALIFORNIA; admission with slavery in any
way.
Mr.. Dayton followed-opposing the con-
nection of the question of the admission Of
California with the distracted one of slave
ry.
Mr.. King advocated the propriety of con-
Meeting the two subjects as proposed. Cali
fornia was territory, and could have no
rights as State until Congress had made it
such. He hoped the Union would be pre-
served.
Mr. Douglass remarked that In order to
make a test question: he would move to lay
the whole subject upon the table, but subse-
quently withdrew his motion, as Mr.. Web
ster desired 10 make few remarks.
Mr.. Webster expressed his readiness to vote
for the appointment Of the committee, but
could not submit to any measure which shall
make the admission Of California dependant
on any other measure. He was ready TO vote
for California as an independent measure, and
would vote for the proposed committee as an
experiment, rather than from any confidence
in its results.
Mr.. Foote then modified his motion by sub
shutting for IA plan ofcompromise, :" the words
scheme of adjustment"
After some further debate, in which Messrs.
Benton and King participated Mr.. Dayton
resumed his motion to lay Mr.. Foote'S mo-
ton on the table, which was rejected-ayes

The Phi1istines are Out.

FUGITIVE SLAVES. The public have been treated
to some bugbear stories upon this subject, which have
afforded an excellent occasion to certain class of per-
sons for letting of portion of the steam which has
been accommodating in their indignant insides for some
time past Shareholders among us, forsooth =
Nobody 1t Is true, had seen any such ANIMAL or heard
OF any one who had him. But it was fine chance
to raise an alarm; accordingly an alarm was raised.
Stories were also circulaated of slave-cachers in
Worcester and other places None of these tales have
the slightest foundation. All the excitement has been
got up by agtators for their own private benefit
Boston Courier
There is something so cool, so brazen-faced and so
cy-heartcd in the above quotation from the Boston
Courier, independent of the gratuous and positive
character of the assertions made, that they would seem
to call for anmadversion well as contradiction; but
the Boston Courier is so sensitive so much addicted to
hystercs so apt to kick against the goads when it is
little pricked that it is almost pity to disturb its
delicate nerves and its acrd bile until it starts
into St. Vitus' dance, it has often done of late
We pass over the spirit and of the Courier's re-
marks; but cannot help smiling at the power of
face that journal evnces in charging the eemen the
North with selfish motives in synpathizng with the
poor hunted fugitive. Because the Courier with trail
torous foresight, took olide to the winning
SIDE; and because the whole of its proceedings
lately have been dictated by party interest," does that
meretricous organ of avehuners think there are no
higher motives than its own, regulate the conduct Of
American freemen
No man has any selfiuteres in Drawing the demoni.
aca law which the Courier accepts with SO much unc-
ton. 1t requires self sacrifice and courage to be
Christian in this case.
In relation to the Courers statement that there has
been no Slave Catcher in Massachusetts we beg most
emphaticay to say that the Courier is mistaken, and
we positively declare that we know that there have
been such ''animals" in this State. They however
have not been so bold to proclaim their mission in
the market places of our towns
