 -Fhsy arss toek up Mr. Bells resolution. They were of opimion that when any new StAtes applied fsg adnissian irsa Texas, they should be admitted la aeeosiDnee with solemn compact; but the ias- ti4lisn im forming new Siafe mast be taken by Texas and not by Congress. Some were ef opinion that Texas was nncoasiiiatinaay sniseAed; bst nc 0na had doubted the pFopfiesy ot Usmisiing Sfaiss from Lpasiana aa aeeoaht Of sny sledged defect in hes anaexaiios into the Union. h any State should hs fesmed ont oG Texas. Congress would be bound lo .dit her into the Union, wIlh or without slavery, es the peorie desited.

Ii might be betteF 10 restrict ihs koansiaries oa the sea coast; but. al . fnnte lime, ths State would De divided; bal, the natsr''y oi the eemsnliies thought thai ia was sxpedIent now to admit California wtth her prrsen, haadssies.
 The eomrnittee believed t impevaiivsly necesssFy is establish territorial governments fes Utah and New Mexiee. lt wouid be a long time betose they wami.i come into she Uaien Sta,es. aad they seeded the protection of organized Eove nnenis.
 The committee also determined 10 coubiBe in the same bill the State government of California. and ike territorial goseEusaents ot Utah aLd New Mexico. I
 Iihs4 been objected. that it would emharrass some senstoss n voting desirng io vo,e for one measure and not the other. But spirit oi mutual eonees- siom ought to iaines Senators 10 accommodate d. sersiiy of apinion snd foF the sake of great Eood to reiinqsish ehjs~ticas to what might be deempd exeeptisasbie.

 Tus committee also report on the northern and western lr,its of Texas. They proposed sn atoi cable adjustment. They proposed the Rio Grand- io longitude lo0o as the western boundary. The bill proposes ss . eompsnsaton 10 Texas for the sxuugnishment of Ihe claim 10 New Mexico, sun of - millions Of dollars. 10 b. sPpiird first 10 The payment of her debt. The lands to b. eeded to the United States embraced 7e.0O0.oe0 of acres.
 The majority Of the committee agreed to ineor- pnra'e the oEfr ic Texas in the bills admitting Cali loFHia, end establishing territorial govsTBmshis.
 The committee reported bill marked 4. embrs- eing the three measures, aud recommended its acoP ton.
 The eommlttee next considered the snhire, of en- forcing fhe constitutional provision Tor The recovery of fugitive slaves. The law Of i7y3 had been ound wholly inefficient for its purpose. The Supreme Coart must have meant n is decision on that iAw to eodrmn the legislation of States evasSe of their constituted obligations.
 B., in enfnseing the law. regard must be had so nropes guards 10 prrvent abrses The bili proposed to sTy the fugitive In the place whence he d. aud not where found. The awner agent was 10 take Areec1d with evidence thxs the fugitive owes labor ar sevves, and nothing was then wanting but 10 identify the person. Many citiz-ns had asked for trial of the fugitive b. jnry 1t woaId be better for the o~ner 10 give ID his properly than to watch at great expehse and delay. This objection woald not apply io risl by jury in the place whence ihr fugitive Aed. The eouynittee, therefore, recommend such uiai. The claimant is 10 be placed under bond to give the fugitive. his return, sfair trial The committee ihnaght ihe owners Of iagtiyes ho could not be recovered. ought 10 be indemnihed of the Treasury of the United States.
 Tn the next place, the committee turned their si- fen,ioa to the subject Of the slave trade of this Ds- triet According 10 the census, reduction of or third ia the number of slaves in the District took plare between 1890 and iSI0. That number now soes net mach exc eed z090 The committee thought tie d.pois for slaves ought 10 be abolished. They adopted law for this purpose which formerly ex- isied tn Maryland.
 These measures would, tt was believed give saII satisfaction 10 overwhelming majority ol the peo ple of the United Staie.. Congress would escape inc reproaeh of abandoning duty to give secure t<A aatI fArrt teh k.la aaisrd. It woeM give repose to the Union. The people would rrioice in the sccOmnodA,ion of a l difficulties which threaten the harmony and eontin. nance nf the Uaion,
