What an expressive face is that OF Harry Clay! We
have Only to watch it TO know exactly the symptoms
Of the Compromise. few days ago the eountenance
OF the sage Of Ashland was radiant with smiles and
here was an air Of easy confidence and gracious
blty about kim too significant 10 be misunderstood.
The proposition for the commissioners TO settle the
Texas boundary, was hit paipable hit il secured
two or three doubtful votes of such could not
agree to allow millions to Texas for the disputed
territory The prospect inviting, and auspicious
Of getting the vote, before Massachusetts, and Ohio
could nil the vacancies Of Webster and Corwin.
How stands The case to day!
How goes the heavy omnibus?
Come. tell us, Harry Clay.
lie says nothing. Mr.. Ewing sworn in this
morning TO nm lie vacancy from ohio Ana from,
that moment have not seen n smile upon the fta-
lures Of the chief Of he Committee OF rhhtsen. lie
looks II the omnibus were upset. and all its cargo
Ecattered along the roadside.
The case is almost hopeless Texas is nst TO be ap
peased by the mere appointment Of commissioners
She wishes concurrent cognition of her rghts
and fhe is perfectly right 70 demand it, That makes
it bad
Of MIR Clay 10 get the vote TO day, knowing that by
MoDdsy another accession from Massachusetts, might
be expected against the bill The lamented and
unexpected death Of Mr.. King, Of the House, from
Massachusetts, stopped the proceedings. Mr. Clay
looked desI airDgly on-he said nothng-it not
in which bs could interfere though the life of the
bill dept nded upon it, The dead must be respected
But II this death had net occurred, what then ,
Some idea Ct the opposition 10 pressing vote TO day
msy be gained from what may be Imagined to have
been said yesterday by Col Benton, in conversation
with friend, upon the subject
Col Benton-Nery well. sir. Let them try 1t. We
shsll be ready In such cases, sir, l am always
ready shall go to bed early tonight, get up
fore breakfast. rest hour two, and up the
Senate shall remain till dinner, and then with the
understanding that the discussion is good till sunset
shall 90 home and take nap, sir, and come up at
candle-lig ghtng, abundanty qualified to ftck II out,
tr, till sunrise That the way, sir, carried the
Oregon bill The Isle Is TO fight il out TO the min Ia
part Of hair That's the rule, sir Never give up,
| sir. That the secret Of General jackson. When
he took his position he never abandoned It, but
oontesting every inch and inch by inch till the
settled And il Mr. Clay comes up to morrow with the
resolution to push this Omnibus through before we
adjourn he prepared to sit 1t out sir, till
Monday morning. We intend that there shall be snap
judgment on this bill We must have a reasonable time
! conccdcd or enforced to allow Massachusetts and
Ohio to have their voice upon this question We in
tend 10 haveit We intend to have fair vote upon
this bill Of shreds and patches and being In the right
sir the rule is TO be confident Of the result. That's
tbs rule, sir. We fight by the rule.
We must conclude that MIR. Clay was apprised OF
some such obstacle yesterday in consentng to adjourn
/ at five o'clock.
Nov how stands the case cOnceding that Mr.. Brad

This is our own estimate of the Senate as II now
stands but Mr.. Clay counts upon Mr. Clarke Of Rhode
Island, and Mr.. Wales OF Delaware, and the four
doubtful votes Of our division Give them and he has
vote OF thirty for the bill to twenty nine against It,
what, then, is the diHcultyl Just here. The Texas
Senators require some recognition Of their rights te
the disputed territory. The amendment OF Mr.. Brad
bury does not provide any such recognition. II !,
