propriety of resistance to this measure, he de-
clared himself ready 10 perform Whatever acts
his state might require Of him. II she directed
him to resist it in other fields he was was ready
to obey her, no matter what he mandate. If
this WAC treason, he was traitor and intended
to continue such.
Mr.. Houston defended the vote which he
should give in favor Of the bill. He pictured
the evils of disunion, and secuted all idea Of
such result, and argued the propriety and justice
of admitting California, and declsred himself
ready to assume every responsibility devolving
on him, because Of his vote in favor Of that mea
sure. In the course Of his remarks he alluded to
thelN l Convention in terms far from CON-
plimentary.
Mr.. Barnwell defended that body against the
aspersious Of the Senator from Texas. He also
opposed the passage of the California Bill, and
characterized it as an act Of an INSCRIPTIONS
majority trespassing upon the rights and feelings
of helpless minority.
MIR. Ewing arose to reply to an init
nation which he understood to have been thrown
out yesterday by Mr. Berrien, to the effect that
the late Executive had interfered in moulding
the institutions Of California, and deluded her
people into adopting the constitution formed BY
them.
Mr.. Berr,en denied having intended to make
any charge. He only said that . letter which
he had read TO the Senate contained such an in
timation.

House took . recess until z.
Although seven vas the hour fixed for re-as-
sembling, the House, or rather thirty members
OF 1t, were called 10 order at half-Past The
House then went into Committee.
Mr. Marshall declined speaking, and the floor
was taken by Mr.. Sackett, who referred to the
tale OF the bill sent from the Senate, proposing
10 the State Of Texas the establishment OF her
Northern and Western boundary; the reinquish-
menl by said State Of all the territories claimed
BY her exterior 10 her present boundary, and all
her claims on the United States. He then en-
deavored to show that the title was merely pro
forma, and did not express the characte: Of the
boundary in any degree. 1t was in fact, bill
70 establish the Missouri Compromise two hun
dred miles west, and to cede to the Slave Stale
Of Texas about filty-six thousand square miles
of Territory, which is now free, to be converted
into slave territory forever, and to establish the
Rio Grande - the western boundary Of Texas
and to nav her ten millions of dollars for taking
Il. He farther opposed the bill, and said he
would not treat with rebels with arms in Their
hands, and be utterly repudiated the notion that
this was an Administration measure.
Mr.. Marshall differed from opinions expressed
a to The power of the President to direct the
military forces, and held that there is as much
difference between the direction and usc OF the
forces BY the President n between dangerous
weapon and the use Of il. The President must
be authorized BY Law to use the army and the
naval forces. Mr. Marshall insisted that the
Governmsnt i committed in every way TO the
boundary Of TEXAS to the Rio Gfande. He was

lstesin2 to dirty finaiicism.
