| really done. The heavens are Orass, the
earth is crisp and swelteriug, the very
breeze is sulphur Jus, Sahara-like, and still the
Hon. Members continue to spout, and spout,
day after day, as unGaggingly as though
oratory were an art newly Invented Here,
fer instance, is Old Bullion, making good
enough speech-his FIVE hundreth or SO this
Session-to long suffering auditory, not
half Of whom can distinctly hear what he
saws, while not one-fourth want to hear it
Is there never an end to Congressional ora
tory. -,
Yet to day has been propitious IN It's
general aspects. The clause OF the ComPI0
misc bill depriyipg the Territorial Los''l@-
lures of all power over the subject o, 0'H'o
~ has been stricken out of the bill BY a
rote If 90 10 900 it is tolerably safe TO
stov ont Next, Mr.. PEARcE Of Md. moved
~ excellent substitute for the horrible Daw-
SON amendment adopted yesterday, and it
is pretty sure to be adopted. In that case,
instead of creating Territorial Govern
ment for New-Mexico yet cOn6niDg its OPP
Grafton to the Territory Vest of the Rio
Grande,-so as to deprive most of the hab-
table territory and nine-tenths of the Peo-
pie Of any benefit therefrOm or participa'
ton therein until Teras as we'll as the Unit
cd States shall have consented to the Bound
airy to be established by the Boundary Com
missioners, Mr.. Pearce's amendment simply
postpones the establishment of the Terri
torial Government for New-Mexico until the
4th of March next. This amendment opened
afresh the foodgates Of debate, not long
after noon, and now, at quarter past 3, Mr..
Benton, who has been full hour on his
legs, is speaking as if he were good for two
hours longer.
HaEpast Three.-Bonton has at length
desisted. Houston briefly but tediously re-
Joins. His main idea is that if the United
States and her Military had stood out of the
way, New-Mexico would have had regu-
lar Civil Government by this time-that of
Tnas, to-wit He closes, and at length
the vote is taken: and all that portion of
the Compromise bill relating to New-Mex-
leo is stricken out-Yeas ThiHy-thrTe;
Nays Twenty-Five. The question now re-
newed on Mr.. Pearce's further amendment
to reinsert the New-Mexico sections with
the amendment hitherto proposed by him.
Hereupon Mr.. Hale got the floor and
moved the indefinite postponement of the bill.
Lost: Yeas Ttcents-seven, Nays TAtrty-t~o.
So the motion was logged, and the Omnibus
rolls on with four good wheels under it, and
a tolerably strong team ahead.
Mr.. UNDERWOOD next took the floor, and
spoke very briefly to the point. He believed
the Omnibus bill was the best form in which
the great measures of Cancellation and har-
mony could be preseAted-that if this should
fail, nothing more would be done, and Con-
gress would adjourn leaving the country to
confusion and faction. lie only asked that
the bill be so shaped as not to affirm or deny
the right of Texas to the East bank Of the
Rio Grande North of Ell PasO, but leave the
whole claim Of Texas unprejudiced to the
decision of Commissioners or Of the Supreme
Court.
Mr.. TURNEY of Tenn. moved the indefinite
poStp0n6ment Of the bill. Yeas and Nays
ordered-and the Texas Senators voted with
the whole Free Soil, Slavery Extension, &c
Hale, Benton, Butler, &C.
in favor of postponement, and the bill mar
rowly escaped Observation-Disclosures ~; Noes
30. Senate full, except Borland of Ark
The Omnibus, narrowly escaping an upset,
goes on again.
Mr.. UNDERWOOD Of Ky. moved to strike
out the proviso Of Mr.. Pearce whereby the
proposed Territorial Government for New
Mexico is not to go into operation until the
4th Of July next. Ayes %; Noes 30. So
the amendment was rejected.
Mr.. YULEE now moved to strike out the
39th section of the bill. Some confusion.
Mr.. UNDERWOOD moved that the Senate ad'
journ. Lost: Ayes % Noes %.
The question now required on Mr.. Yulee's
motion to strike out the Goth section provid-
ing for Commission to settle the Texas
Boundary. Yeas 90; Nays %. So the mo-
ton to strike out the section proposing
Commission to settle the Texas Boundary
was carried.
Mr. CHASE of Ohio, again moved the in
definite postponement of the bill. Yeas %;
Nays 20. So the Omnibus, sorely be-
leaguered, holds on its way.
i must run to the cars, for it is nearly
