we tuke the lOlioWllIS lolil hic IoCccuiiSo
of the House on Monday:
NOTICES OF BILLS.
Mr.. STEVENS, ofPennsylvania, gave notice
that on tomorrow or some subsequent day, he
would ask leave to bring in the following bills:
A bill to alter and amend the revenue laws
so as to afford reasonable protection and en-
enlargement to American labor;
A bill to abolish slavery in the Territory of
Utah;
A bill to repeal so much of the acts establish
ing terri orial governments in New Mexico and
Utah as recognizes slavery in said Territories,
and as pledges the nation to admit new slave
States into the Union; and
A bill to repeal and annul the fugitive slave
law, passed September, 1850.
This was not the entertainment to which we
were invited by the champions of the Adjust
ment. But let the South never be ;lfraid--to
run. The renewed agitation will 20 on. The
Free sellers and Aboitionists have begun,--the
Tribune and Albany Evening Journal, Wing
organs, have already joined them. The Wing
party at the North will promptly follow n,asse.
The Democrats of the North will first cali for
harmony-then they will equivocate--then at
tempt to surpass the Wings in their zeal for
these measures-and then MEssRs. Clay and
CAss will came forward with another grand
compromise TO heal these four more bleeding
wounds of distracted country. They will
propose to concede all to the North TO stop
agitation, and denounce all Southern opponents
of the healing measures as Utras and Disunion-
| lists The IntelHeencer will come forward in
aid of the harmony, and hear no discordant voice.
The Union will cant about the rights Of the
South-talk of modifca tions lose some more
subscribers, ask for more extra allowances
GIDDINGs, RooT and SEWARD, go for the scheme
on the ground that the institutions Of the South
must rely for support on the Northern Demo
cracy call for guns of rejoicing on the passage
of the new Compromise, and declare fiercely that
any further aggressions on the South will never
be permitted--until they are attempted.
Listento the language of the New York Com
mercial Advertiser, a leading WEBSTER Wing
paper:
The passage of the bill for the abolition of
The slave trade in this District is a most auspi-
:ious and gratifying event. 1t will do much to
luell the spirit of agitation in regard to this in
ktitution, and would the South but consent grace
ully and cheerfully to the extinction of slavery
tself in the District, they would soon receive
convincing assurance of the cessation OF conten-
ion on this exciting and disturbing subject
The vote was ayes 33, noes 10; majority Ia.
