in the debate. II was scarcely calculated to do much
good in healing the breaches which had been
made by the movements of Wednesday, in recalling
the Senate to The due consideration OF the means that
necessary bring them to united System Of
ton and adjustment But. said, it necessary
for members blow off little after the failure of
the Compromise bill and as this phenomenon has now
taken place, is to be hoped that the Senate will again
proceed better spirit review the position in which
they stand and to adopt the necessary oil lacc
ton We abandon the hope that the Senate will now
set in to adopt the best system in their power Mr. Foots
has already broken grohnd by proposing the settlement
OF the boundaries Of Texas and New Mexico II is
to be denied that the President and Secretary of State
may contribute much TO the accomplishment OF this
important object. Ii the Secretary should express
his decided disapprobation of the proclamation OF Col

that the President will not promote the formation
of State constitution for New Mexico; and thAt
he will not countenance the constitution that had been
formed under the auspices of COL Monroea consdera-
BILE advance would be made in the adjustment Of this
boundary question. But, all events, is earnestly
hoped that Congress WILL in few days. proceed active
y and promptly in the adjustn of the boundary line,
in the adoption Of mode for adjusting il. and
in the organization OF territorial government fos New
Mexico But cannot venture to predict what couse
they will take
