TtlegrNphic Summary.

We are disappointed in not being able 10 inform
our readers that vote taken, yesterday, on
the bill introduced ny Mr.. Pearce, for the settle
ment of the boundary dispute between Texas and
New Mexico. 1t was debated at considerable
length in the Senate, and various amendments
were proposed, bot rejected. Our accounts look as
if all the talking on the subject had been done,
and if a vote viii be taken to-day or tomorrow
The iron men of Pennsylvania, it seems, are
moving 10 have the tariff amended in their favor
There is not the remotest probability, however,
that the subject will be touched until after the
whole territorial question is disposed of and il is
very doubtful, even if that agitation settled to-
morrow, that the subject would be taken up. Both
houses are nearly exhausted, and will no doubt
sdicun Immediately after the admission of the new
territories and the settlement of the slavery ques-
tion The probability is. that the iroa manufdc-
turers are only breaking ground for strong effort
during the short session.
in the House, nothing very definite was dcne
hiier bill was introduced, the petition Of Miss
Dix, granting ten millions of acres of land, to be
devoted TO the support Of the INDECENT insane
throughout the republic, the California bill was
laid aside, and the civil and diplomatic appropria-
tion bill taken up and debated. This body are
evidently awaiting the action of the Senate the
slavery question: and the probability is, that they
will do nothing that subject until the Senate
OPPOSES Of il. la the meantime they will proceed
with the appropriation bills, and get through with
them, so to have the field clear for the slavery
agitation, and adjourn Immediately after getting
rid oft
Our election returns from Missouri are not very
full, but, from the nature of those that have come
90 hand, the indications that the State has been
carried by the wings. If such should be the
suit, il will compensate that party somewhat, for
tltir loss of North Carolina.

which that party pursued in relation to the question
of slavery. The most prominent opposer of that
measure, and Of all other measures looking 10 a
settlement of the whole question of slavery, were
wings, in both houses OF Congress. The demo-
Gratis proper, however, did not identify themselves
with any oppos,on TO the South. Hence II fol-
lowed that the people of North Carolina-or, at
least, enough Of them to change the poltical
character Of the State-voied with the democrats.
And it will be well for the wing party if that is the
ONLY State in WI ch they will suffer The slavery
agitation is in fair way Of being satisfactorily and
permanently settled but the stigma which attaches
to the wing party, in consequence of the opposition
to any practical and peaceable settlement by many
of lis representatives, will stick to them for years
