The Csm,rsmiss BaI-hr E,o"s and Mr.. Hear-Tas
Tsrss P'snst s~d Mr. Fillmore.
One Of the most singusr Of the times Is
the appointment OF Mr. Hoar OF Massachusetts, to the
seat LEFT vacant by Mr.. Webster In tbs Senate. Re-
garded either as a rsbuks to MT Webster, OF as q
rsbake to South Carolina L. the most curious
OF the chapter Of accidents the six months op
1t may be that the Of Mr. Hoar will decide the
question Of law regarding fugitive slaves and free peo-
pie OF color upon which he expelled
from the borders of the Palmetto som. time are
And another singular feature in the hat whom
Mr.. Webster delivered HE hrst great Comoromi.s
speech In the Senate this son ke forgot the p.nt
which he bad INTENDED to make ia reference 10 the
Of Mr. Hoar in Charleston the very man Who ras
to be his successor before the session expir.d ad
Mr. Webster known that his mantle 10 fall ON The
shoulders OF Mr. Hoar he certainly would have for
gotten that mission to aud expulsion from Charleston
and IL is quite Likely that he would have heeitated in
exchanging the Senate for the Department OF State
In all this. we speak Of Mr.. Hoar as actually ap-
pointed. such being the teeRraphic information re-
ceiyed here day Assuming IL be correct with tho
addition Of Mr. Ewing We have accession oftwo votes

contingency which osmpels a satisfactory concession
to the Texas Senators. in order To the bill to
save the last possible chance Of passing the bill.
The mere appointment of commissioners to deter
mine the western boundary OF Texas will not do It
gives no guarantee of any for any terri
tory which be left outside Of the limits 81 Texas to
which she claims possession. Texas wants money.
lie in debt and wants money She knows that BY hold
ing on TO the claim 1t is equivalent to good round
sum Of money But the has DO assurance in sur
rendering The boundary to commissioners that they
| will allow her any money They may decide upon
what they believe her true boundary, aud agree
to take It, without allowing a cent 81 money =
That's the difficulty with the Texas senators fhey
want guarantee, that in irring the boundary
to joint commission, they don't surrender the prin-
eips Of indemnity. They probably don't a curse
for the territory only 50 far as n command good
round sum OF money Give ih'm the money, or
guarantee, and you may take the territory; but
compromise will answer their purpose unless they
have tome assurance OF the lney
We understand that something IL 10 be done betw
this and to morrow morning to conciiate Texas But
there is a difficulty the other dde II you allow
too much or guarantee too literally you lose several
votes outside Of Texas IL you not liberal you lose
perhaps, what Is to he tried II you secure the
Texas votes without losing any, there is chance. IL
not, there Is no chance.
Meantime the protest of the authorities Of Texas TO
the proceedings Of Colonel Monroe having been re-
ceived here member Of the Texas delegation, last
week addressed note to President Fillmore ascer-
tain whether he concurred ia the proceedings
OF Colonel Monroe, sc. After several days no reply
having been received, the who'll Texas delegation
waited upon the President and desired to be informed
of his opinions in the and of hts Intentions Pre-
sident Fillmore asked few days grace. until he could
get all his cabinet together ana consult them, when
he would give the Texas delegation an answer; that
in few days we may expect To knos the views Of Mr..
Fillmore in regard u the doings Of Colonel Monroe
and the State Convention OF New Mexico all OF which
have taken place within the territory claimed by
Texas to be within her boundary and rghully under
| her jurisdiction.
