Correspondence Of The Trtbona
WASHINGTON, Friday. Nay 81
The mortal remains Of Mr.. GILMORE, the Senator
from South Carona, were conveyed 10 the tomb
this morning, with every mark Of respect that his
unblemished life and useful public career entitled
them to. The ceremonies at the Senate Chamber
were highly impressive and solemn. rendered moro
90 from the fact that many had scarcely missed
him from his seat before they heard of his Death
regret to learn that Mr.. CooPER OF Pennsylvania
is very unwel and that bis health generally Is
feeble and precarious.
The coming week in the Senate will be one Of
deep interest to the country. Several test votes
will be taken, which will furnish clearer indications
of the probability of settlement Of the Slavery
issue during this session, than anything that has
previously occurred. The first vote will be upon
Mr.. CHAsE's amendment to the one offered by DA-
Wis Of Mississippi and modified by Mr.. PRArr Of
Maryland. This viii test the Wimot Proviso
strength in that body 1t will be defeated by sew
eral majority. A proposition will next be made 10
strike out Of what il called the Omnibus bill 20
much thereof a. relates TO defining the boun-
Diary between Texas and New Mexico, and the
payment to the former of given sum for the sur
render of such imaginary rights a. she claims to
portion ofthe Territory Of New.M
ico excluded from her limits by the proposed line
The fate of this proposition is involved in more un-
certainty, and creates good deal of uneasiness In
the minds the friends Of the Compromise MEASURE
This proposition will combine the votes of three
different classes in the Senate In it, favor. First
all the Free Soil second, several of those who are
for q compromise, but who, believing that Texas
has earthly claim to the territory 10 dispute arc
opposed to paying that State any sum Of money for
which no consideration Is received, and will vote
in fave NJ hat nj oIona M al all
the ultra Southern or Calhoun men, who are opposed
to defining the western boundary Of Texas, because
fleft in stasu quo they are assured the Jurisdiction
of Texas will be enforced the large portion Of
New-Mexico including Santa Fe, thus planting
Slavery over just 90 much territory that II now FREQ
from the existence Of that institution among it, in
habitants. These three classes, If they unite will
carry this proposition, and thus defeat everything
like Territorial Government for New. Mexico at al
events.
The Senators from Texas are bitterly opposed to
this proposition, and in favor Of the Compromise
that win settle the question Of boundary between
their State and New.Mexico, and thus put an end
to the difficulty that has already sprung up there
between the civil authorities Of the one and the mill
tary Government Of the other. One of those Ssna-
tors, learn, has expressed the greatest apprshen
sion az to results fthe boundary proposition il left
open az the people Of Texas are determined to take
possession Of the country far up Santa re, and
including that place, even though it can be accom-
plished in no other way than by force Of arms. In
this aspect OF the case, you can readily perceive
where the doctrine OF mastery inactivity, or non
action" will lead US; and how much those who arc
opposed TO the extension Of Slave Territory are TO
gain under its operation. As you clearly demoa
straed in Of yoorlate Editorials unless there is
prompt interference by Congress In defining and
settling the boundary between Texas and New
Mexico, the latter will speedily be swallowed up
by the propsgaDdists.
