long road, through amendments and dc
bates, is yet TO be travelled before ques
ton can be reached.
The bill has been engrossed in antici
patton that it would be ordered to b
read third fine this week, but 1 ap
preltend that it will not reach that stag
so soon.
The House win, in due time, certainly
| pass the California bill per Sc. This il
now certain; but i . not, by any means
to be considered unfavorable to the ulti
mate adoption of the adjustment scheme
Many Northern members are so situated
with regard to their constituents and the
administration that they ere constrained
to vote, in the first instance. for the ad-
miss of California as a separate measure.
They will be willing enough, afterwards,
to be again constrained and to vote for
the Senate scheme If the Senate
should stand firm in favor of the scheme
of their committee of thirteen, that
scheme will ultimately be embraced by
the House.
Mr. Dayton's speech against the ad-
justment scheme, in support Of the Pres
ident, was very jealous and very able.
Some say that he is desirous of obtaining
an executive office, for which he is highly
qualified; and it was intimated by Mr.
Foote that the effort would receive mer-
tied reward at the other end of the ave-
nue..
The government will, at the end of
this month, be at a stand still for want
of money, Nothing is likely to be done
in the meantime for the purpose of for
warding the appropriation bill. The
committee ofways and means Of the
House will not report the civil and di-
plomatic bill until the territorial and sla-
very questions shall be settled.
| learn that the Executive will, before
the termination of the fiscal year, send a
special message to Congress, urging n
timely provision of funds to meet the de-
mands on the Treasury. Those mem
bers who are in favor ofan adjustment
will certainly resist any supplies, until it
shall be effected, no matter what inconve,
nience may arise from the delay. The
administration may be obliged to take a
step backward, from the preser. position
against Mr.. Clay's scheme, before any
supplies will be provided.

FROM WASHINGTON.

We extract the following from Ions
letter to the Baltimore Sun:
The resolutions Of the Nashville Con
vention appear to be wise, moderate, and
patriotic. Their proposition in regard to
an equitable division Of the territory, by
the adoption of The line of thirty y-six
thirty,is is very liberal--for, according to
Mr.. Clay's views, and repeated declara-
tions, it's even less favorable to the ex-
tension of slavery than the plan of the
committee of thirteen. Mr.. Cass has
strongly expressed the same opinion.
If the North should, therefore, insist
upon exacting hard terms from the South
they will take the Missouri line, and thus
interdict slavery north of it, instead of
having the question OF the legality of
slavery, in the territories, to be tried by
the federal tribunals. The convention
wisely recommends that Congress shall
not adjourn without adjusting the ques-
ton.
The Senate is making little progress in
the adjustment bill. Mr. Benton found
that he he would lose his motion TO post
pone, and prudcntly withdrew it. A

NASHVILLE CONVENTION.

The proceedings of this body has been
carried on with much oroer and unanimi.
ty, breathing spirit of frmness and
moderation which must have very ben.
efcial influence on the public mind. 1t
will be seen that the Convention regard
the Missouri Compromise line extended
to Pacific, as an adjustment of the slave
ry difficulties which will yield to the
North all the South can afford to surren-
der.
1t was believed, in certain quarters,
that the Convention would sanction the
Clay Compromise, more especially when
il was known that Judge sharkey (who
is said to have expressed himself, in let
ter to some gentlemen in Washington,
satisfied with this iniquitous scheme of
plundeD had been elected President of
the Convention.
But these prophets of evil have pr6ph-
isyed falsely. the Committees adjustment
is as obnoxious to the Convention as it is
to the people of the South, and during
the whole of its deliberations there has
not been, so far as we have seen, single
voice raised in its defence.
The. Convention adopted unanimously
very patriotic and powerful adrcss
(Which we will publish next weekly and
then adjourned to meet again in six
weeks after the adjournment of Congress.

Willis calls it, "post-mortuum soirce, 7"
thus:

The knockiugs were now heard on the

Different gentlemen stood on the outside

lend no countenance to the idea that the

Texas boundary Bill Passed!

Weare gratIfied to be able TO inform our
readers Of the passage ofthe Texas boundary
bill. BY our Geographic dispatches from
Washington, of the 9th inst, it will appear
that that measure carried, in the House Of
Representatives, by handsome majority
The vote stood, yeas los nays SO. The dis
patches of last Thursday strongly Indicated
its defeat. The prospect did indeed seem
gloomy. There seemed TO be Il coalition be-
tween the disunonists of the South and the
abotionists Of the North to defeat the friends
ofthe Union but,we ore happy TO say,it Was
not really so.
The Texas boundary bill, as all are
aware, has been asubject of long and ami
mated discussion. 1t has perhaps created as
great agitation throughout the country as
the slavery question, and threatened results
fully as disastrous. 1t is now settled, and
who does not heartily rejoice at the event.
Its passage is but the dawning of brighter
day TO our country, and our hearts should
honor the unhnching lovers of the Union
through whom it was brought about.
