The racification Rills Passed.

From and after the upset,ing Of the great ON
nbus, at Washington, the business Of the country
took fresh start, and now, in but month OF
two after that most fortunate catastrophe, we are
permitted to chronicle the consummaiion of what
was few months ago regarded as entirely i'm
possible-to wit: the healing all the five great
gaping wounds of the country" which Mr.. Clay
had so solemnly enumerated on the ends Of his
fingers, and that, 700, without the Omnibus. with
out bloodshed, without strife, without even any
extraordinary amount Of feeling or excitement at
Washington. The result has demonstrated,
among many other things, the superiority Of the
system ofleiting every tub stand on its own bot
I tom, over the log-rollins system Of legislation.
The measures, taken as whole, are, undsguised-
| ", nothin, but the Omnibus; but it looked so
much like dishonesty to force them all through
together, that members could not be dragooned
into their support, although they appear to have
swallowed the measures separately, without much
| grimace.
! The California Bill is the first in the series Of
measures. Its passage through the senate We
have heretofore announced. 1t passed the house
on the sh inst, by a large majority. 1t simply
admits California with its present boundaries into
the Union as u state. The Till. as passed, was
published in this paper several week, ago
, The Texas Boundary Bill was next passed 1t
! gives Texas about 10000 acres of New Mexico
and sloOo00Oo, for all her claim, right, title, in
tercst, ordemand in and to the territory Of New
Mexico, to which, it is observable, Texas never
had any semblance of "clam, right, title" dc.
To the Texas Bill, which had previously pass
ed the senate wa. attached by the house. on the
sth inst, in the shape of an amendment, the bill
for the establishment of a territorial government
in New Mexico. 1t was called Boyds amend
nen. The bill with this amendment, passed the
house and received the concurrence, next day o.
the senate, and the presidents signature.
Next the I'LL, either coupled with the above OF
separately, we arc unable 10 say which from the
dispatches for the establishment of the territorial
government Of Utah was passed.
We are unacquain,el with the provisions Of
either this or the New Mexico Bill, although it i
understood the Wilmot Proyisn was not engrnft
| ed on either of them, the subject of slavery being
left with tie people Of the territories to them
selves to decide
And finally the Fugitive Slave Bill was passed
on the l2ih inst, by a vote OF loa to 70, Il is
about the omnibus bill! making every post master
slave catcher, DC.
We shall endeayor hereafter TO lay before our
readers, either these bills as they have passed
and received the sanction Of the president, or at
least full abstracts OF them, except what we have
printed heretofore.

Galcna District.

The wings Of the sixth, or Galena COMPRESSION
al district, have nominated MARTIN =. SWEET, as
their candidate for congress at the approaching @.
lection. This is n severe blow on Col Baker, who
had staked his very political existence on n re.
nomination
The defeat Of Baker ia tho more Notifying
from the character of his successful competitor
Sweet is man Of very ordinary talents remark
able only for tho "iiercencss" Of his whiggery
which has been put on within a few years, Instead
of the DOTTED garments Of Mormonism, Of which
peculiar sect Sweet lad aspired, unnecessarily
to become leader and apostle
Baker must attribute his defeat to his own bad
management in distributing the offices in his dis
trct, and also, doubtless to hs neglect Of duty MS
a representative in congress, in reference to which
the papers of his own party have complained as
loudly as any others.
Asto Sweet, If the democrats get sucl, man
for instance, rs Tom Campbell after him. they
would be inexcusablc il they failed to redeem the
district, while at the same time, in the way o.
fun, we can imagine no contest that would BE-
richer.
