The following is report Of the proceedings Of
Congress on the 18th instant:
WAsHrxsTor July H. 1s50
In the Ssnats, Mr. Webster introduced a bill to
provide for the erection Of monument in the Con-
gress Burial Ground, to the memory Of Zachary
Taylor. Read twice and referred
The bill to provide to refund the fine on the late
Thomas Cooper was passed.
The adjustment bill was taken up, and Mr.
Webster spoke at length in its support
After stating that he intended to follow the Sem
ator from South Carolina (Mr Butlcr) on Tuesday,
but the illness Of the President caused adjourn
ment before the Senator concluded his remarks,
Mr.. Webster made some beautiful reflections
i the death OF General Taylor. twas an admonitoR
to adjust the controversies which had long agi-
/ tated Congress. Some healing and composing
measure ought TO be adopted before Congress
adjourned. He wished to conciliate and harmonize
the country The agitation would be increased if
| it continued.
He would never consent to the adjournment Of
Congress without establishing territorial govern
ment for New Mexico, and taking measures Tor the
| prevention Of collision between Texas and New
Mexico. He was decidedly in favor Of carrying
out the report Of the committee and he preferred
\ the combination of measures to separate action
| them BY admitting California alone we did not
| get rid OF difficulties New Mexico must have
| territorial government, and something must be
done to prevent a collision between New Mexico
and Texas, and to prevent bloodshed and civil
He should not consent to an adjournment before
that question was settled
He proceeded to show what the North would
| lose and what they would gain by defeating this
bill BY settling these questions, they would
restore Congress to its legitimate and proper and
| beneficial functions. At present Congress was
paralyzed, and for some time it had been in that
| condition. The Government was itself rendered
powerless by the want Of supplies No man would
venture tarthing now, for the promise Of great
nheritanee when slavery should be established in
New Mexico. The people Of New Mexico had
themselves declded the question, and had excluded
slavery. The obiection TO the bill by the North
was unfounded. The question was mere alb
| stracton.
Mr Webster deprecated the servituds Of Con
!, gress 10 small cliques at home instead OF acting
: conscenhousiy and with view to the interests of
the country
=, he showed that Massachusetts, with million Of
t people, dependent, not on agriculture but on IN
dustrla pursuits which relied on the Government
for protection, was great sufferer from the present
