zed alofi; bells rang joyously; the pco-
Pile with a band of music repaired 10 the
quarters of Messrs. Cass, Dickinson,
Douglass, Foote, Houston and Webster.
and shouted and cheered and called forth
a response from each of those Statesman
Mr.. Clay was absent from town. Mr..
Houston's speech was admirable; Mr..
Douglass was brilliant, neat and stirring;
the others were capital.
Mr.. Webster was never in such tow
ering spirits, he was in his glory.
The Washington Union, in referring
to this action, also speaks as follows:

now the pleasure of stating one of the
most important facts ever announced
The bill has passed the House, and it is
our sincere conviction that by this meas
ure the Union is saved. The Republic
will now enjoy tranquility and peace
Fanalacism is disappointed and defeated.
The WiImot proviso is condemned by
both Houses of Congress. Peace is re-
stored to our frontiers on the Rio Grande

justed. We congratulate our country
men on the passage yesterday OF Mr..
Boyd's amended bill, which at the same
time regulates the boundaries OF Texas
and organizes territorial government
for New Mexico, Invested of the Will

The amended bill will no doubt pass
the Senate. We rejoice because the !,
Union is saved, because the country is
preserved from discord and restored to
peace. We rejoice because this unfor-
tunaie controversy, which has alicnated
brother from brother, and the North
from the South, is about to be settled
Our free, federal government will resume
lis influence over the civilized world, and
receive that confidence from all foreign
nations TO which it is justly entitled; and
at home our prosperity will take new
spring, and our country will 60 on to
achieve that high destiny which graz
cions providence seems TO have reserved
10 the United States.
