In the House of Representatives, yesterday, two
resolutions were ufcrcd--one in reference to the
House ms eting az eleven A. NJ, aAd the other in-
strnciing the Committee on Comeaerce to inquire
into the expedirncy of regul.ting and equalizng
the collection Of duties on inrerts and tonnage.
The last resolution was edopt-d The House thea
went into Committee of the Whole on the State ol
the Union, on the California question. MessTs
Tuck, Dimmick, Bowie. snd pckie, took part in
the debate; and the latter made exciting speech.
The committee rose and took recess until eight 7.
Nj, when they ag lin met, ard the debate was con-
tnued ill nearly ten O'Clock. This looks as though
the House in earnest, snd ute nded TO do soae-
thing. II the House would order all those besuti-
fully arranged mahogany desks, the cushioned arm
ciars, and side sofas 10 Be removed lron the hall
Of the Representatives, leaving nothing bu plain
wooden benches, sufficient To give seals 10 eli the
members, they would do five times as much busi-
ness The regular hours OF session they now do
and would be under no necessity to have any night
siIhgs.
In the Senate, Mr.. Clay presented some resolu-
tcns from Kentucky ia favor of union, and Mr..
Badger offered resolution that the Senate meet at
IL A. NJ, which was adopted. The Senate then
went werk upon the Compromise bill, and voted
on several am, udments which had been previously
to amend the 10Th section of the Cldytoa Compro-
mise Of lsis, extending the constitution and laws
OF the United States over the territories This was
carri o-yess 80 and nsys2i. 1t amounts to nothing
The Senate might as well have passed law endors-
ing the constitution and laws of the United States
Mr. Baldwin, Of Conn, then moved that the Mexi-
law sbolishing slavery be continued in force.
which was rejected-nays, 81; yeas, 23--when the
Senate adjourned.
Twill be seen by the despatch from one of our
private correspondents, that he supposes from the
passage of The Yulee amendment, that the com
promise will pass. We see no reason for any such
susFosition, 20 far as the Senate is concerned
There is nc chance whatever for it in the House.
There had been no official ialorm ition received
by the President of the execution of any Cuba
prisoners.
The conduct of the Nashville Convention since
il has been in session, is worthy of all praise from
the North. Every thing has been conducted with
that dignity which gem rally chsrlcterizes the sit
.tinrs OF Southern delberatve bodies. Those who
looked forward to violent and exciting resolutions
are disappointed. Nothing of the kind has, yc,
taken place, OF that character in that assembly
However, the committee 10 prepare resolutions,
presented one 10 the convention, which, IL
pass,d q, will cause more excitement and conster-
tiOn gniong the politicians of both parties in the
North, than If they had passed al Nashville forty
resolutions in favor Of dissolving the Union on the
4sh Of July next We allude to the resolution
in rgaid 10 candidates and noinin atoms ia
the Nuiikern conventions for the offices Of Pre-
sidtnt and Vice President oi the United States.
II the South carry out that resolution ia
good faith and fpint. il any five States
in the South will do so, they have Northern
politicians AT their complete mercy. Neither the
wbg nor democratic party make President
without The aid of those States; and the Southern
States, or even a minority Of them, decide
which candidate th4l be elected; and after the
p~nence of a Southern President choosing an abo-
liIOn cabinet, We venture 10 say the South will
give the Presidency TO no man tho will not bnd
himself with cords Of steel Southerni aud
