The programme agreed upon ten days ago by
Speaker COBB and Linn Boyd has been so far
successfully carried out, and Boyd's strong
team, with Texas, New Mexico and Utah, IS
likely to be driven successfully through the
House, and from the Senate up the avenue and
past the White House-and all before Friday
night. The unanimity with which the House
sustained the Speakers decision, and thereby
set up the new omnibus, is an indication that it
will pass The Southern men generally sus-
tanned the decision. Every difficulty seems
to be obvlated by connecting the territorial bills
with the Texan boundary bill, and by putting
the whole ahead Of California. The dstrust
that prevailed among the Southern members at
the course Of the North is thus removed.
Upon inquiry have assertained that Boyds
omnibus will pass the Senate, with the aid of
several Eastern votes which were thrown a.
gainst the original Senate omnibus.
The opinion is expressed very generally that
the two Houses will be prepared to adjourn in
fortnight.
Mr.. Foote has offered an amendment to the
bill for the suppression of the slave trade in this
District, giving authority TO the corporate au.

likely to be satisfactory to both Houses.
Mr.. Ewbank's nomination was discussed in
the Senate to-day, and postponed till Tomorrow.
The nomination Of Mr.. Lewis, as collector for
Philadelphia was also taken up and is to be de-
bated. Mr.. MaXweli's nomination has not vet
been considered. Ion.

NORTH AND soUTH-cThe increase q

NORTH AND SOUTH.-s"The increase Of
manufactures in the South will be felt heavily this
season in the North, as large portion of their
usual demand is cut off" Thus says the New
York Tribune Of the 9TH inst. We hope there
will be continued "increase of manufactures in
the Sonth,'' not that the North may prosper less,
but that the South may prosper more; not that
the North may be injured, but that the South may
more nearly approach a position Of true indepen-
dence, which can only be reached by progress in
the industrial arts and diversity of products, d.
versity of empoyments for her population, and
increased self reliance. and increased energy and
enterprise, devoted to the development Of her
vast resources.--.N O. True Delta

LYNCH LAW IN CALIFORNIA.

A correspondent of the Nantucket Inquirer,
at the digyings, says
''To give you an idea of the sway Judge
Lynch has in this country; will give you a
little description of case on Rattle Snake Creek
three days ago. A man had stolen 5000 from
his partners, and was caught with the money
about him. He could not deny the theft, and a
which was done as follows That he should
receive sixty lashes on his bare back, on two
successive days; that his head should be shaved,
his ears cropped and the letter T be branded on
his forehead, and that notice shall be given him
10 quit the mines within forty-eight hours, un-
der the penalty Of death. Rather a severe sem
tence, but it was put into execution to the very
letter.

The RIGHr CouRsE.-Two negroes, supposed
to be fugitive slaves from Missouri, were arrest
ed in Bond county, Illinois, few days since,
and committed to prison, until their owners
should have an opportunity 10 appear against

and said they came from the Cam Bottom,n in
Missouri, This is honest, and in striking con-

The Wilmington Chronicle thinks the Who

The Wilmington Chronicle thinks the Wing
defeat in North Carolina is attributed to the
slight put upon the State by General Taylor, in
not selecting member Of his Cabinet from her.
The Chronicle lays the blame particularly on Mr..
Clayton Well, poor excuse is better than
none; but the truth is the people are at last dis
covered the true tendencies Of Whiggery, and
have deserted the ranks of that party and en-
dorsed the tried principles of Democracy The
cloven foot OF federalism begins to be rather
apparent beneath the cloak of Whiggery, and it
is no wonder if the people have drawn back
The excuse of the Chronicle is rather strange
one to come from the spoils hating party; We
always thought North Carolina Wings cared
nothing about the loaves and &shes, but they
have not stood the test. Patriotic party that of the

ANOTHER SLAVE STAMpEDE-It will be seen
by our Mercury" letter from Washington, that
the underground railroad is still in active en-

some 30 or 40 slaves run off from Prince Georges

MI Pratt's amendments to the fugitive slave
bill should pass Congress, by which all the un-
recovered stolen or abducted slaves are to be

these gentlemen would have been present to vote
against it. There was, consequently, nothing lost

CALIFORNIA; B,II passed.

The House of Representatives finished a glo-

bill for the admission of California into the
Union, and bill providing Territorial gov
eminent for Utah. This is making ample
amends for any delay that has occurred in the
passing of the Senate's bills. We said, last
week, when the prospect seemed 50 gloomy TO
many, that the House would ''do its duty---its
whole duty" Ii it will now take up the Fugi-
tive Slave bill and pass it, 1t will fill To over
flowing the measure OF public appreciation which
it has so fairly earned by its conduct during the
past week. For an account of the proceedings
on Saturday, the reader is referred 10 our Con

We hasten to correct one or two Sigh, mac.

We hasten to correct one or two slight mac
curacies which we inadvertently fell into on
Saturday in our remarks on the subject of 'the
origin of the Wilmot proviso." On its intro
duction, in $40, il was adopted in Committee
OF the Whole, where the vote is not taken by
yeas and nays. Against the bill containing it,
when reported to the House, and put on It's
passage, we find recorded the votes of four
Democratic members from non slaveholding
Las, FIcKLN, and HoGE. At the next SEES.
sion, when it was again brought forward, il
passed by a vote of Is To l06--ffteen North
ern Democrats voting in the negative includ-
ing Messrs. McCLERNAND, G.. j. INGERsoLL,
Sc 1t was afterwards lost in the House by,
we believe, majority of ten votes.
In the course of some remarks on the subject
by Mr.. GROVER, Democratic member from
the North, he said "The gentlemen Of the
South and the whole country should under
stand that there existed throughout the entire
North but one feeling, and that was, never to
submit to the introduction of slavery, by any
act of this Congress, where it had previously
had no existence. He believed every Northern,
gentleman here with the exception of one y
understood by the reporter to refer to Mr..
DouGLAs was agreed on that point.
" Mr.. McCLERNAND inquired whether the
gentleman, when he spoke ca cathed,u for the
entire North, meant to embrace the West
8 also
MIR. GROVER replied he meant to include all
north Of Mason and Diyon's line.
:" MANY voices, Yes; all the free States. y
"Mr. MCCLERNAND then said, if the gentle
man meant to speak for all the free States, he
must protest against his speaking for him.
''Mr. c. j. INGERsoLL here rose, Gas did
several other gentlemen and inquired: Dc
you mean to speak er cathedra for Pennsyl-
vania2
''Mr GROVER said he meant to speak er ca
hedra for nobody; he had expressed his hopes
&C."
The Albany Argus said at the time, in refer
ence to the sentiments avowed in Mr. KINGS
speech, son the abstract proposition" Of prohib.
ting slavery, 'there will be little diversity of
opinion in the free States" SO we learn from the
Baltimore Patriot, into whose columns this de-
claration of the .4rgus was copied Immediately
after it was made.
That there paS ''little diversity of opinion
in the free States" on the subject of the pro-
viso, when it was introduced, the records OF
Congress, and the resolutions adopted by the
Legislatures of those States, conclusively show
If the Union will designate the ''mdny' OF
the Democratic members of Congress from the
n-slaveholdng States, who, it says, zee
''know have opposed the Wilmot proviso .frnn,
the day il ,cos offered up to the present hour"
we shall take pleasure in publishing their names
and doing them the most ample justice. We
"know" no such thing. We deny that such
is the fact, and we call upon the Union to make
good its assertion, by giving the "many" names,
or TO retract it.

The BRAZILIAN COFFEE Trade, 49, Forty two
years ago the coffee trade of Brazil did not exceed
thirty thousand bags; and even in 1920 it only
reached 100000 bags. About that time the high
price of coffee in England, superadded to the di-
minshcd production in Cuba, stimulated the Bra
lillian planters to extend its cultivation; and in
1890 they sent TO market four hundred thousand
bags sixty -four million pounds; and in ls47 the
enormous quantity of nearly three hundred millions
