ment, no matter whether in one bill or
in fifty but 10 render that settlement
as favorable to Free-Soil as possible
We believe the eighteen Northern SEN
ators who resisted the Omnibus on
grounds connected with Slavery, might,
by making terms with its moderate sup
p1ters, have obtained the 80 parallel OF
latitude straight across for the Northern
limit of Texas, and thus practically con-
fined Slavery in our acquisitions from
Mexico to the territory south of that
line. We believe that State larger
than Ohio--as large as half New-Eng-
land--might thus have been saved from
Slavery and secured to Freedom. We
believe all the Northern men who voted
with the Nullifiers to upset the Omni-
bus meant to be on the side Of Freedom
and yet we cannot but feel that if
they had been willing TO be called re-
creant to Free-Soil, and subjected to
temporary obloquy, they might have Sc
cured one more Free State in the future,
which will now be Slave State. What
they struggled to do was entirely right,
but since they could not do that, we
wish they had done what they could.
How it has been that the House has
not been once asked TO substitute the
Compromise Boundary for that propos-
ed by Mr.. Pearce, we do not yet COM
prehend. The Clay line is so much
straighter and shorter that it should have
been preferred on its intrinsic merits /;
and, since it gave $4,000 square miles
more TO Freedom, il was at least worth
an effort. 1t only failed by one major
ity in the Senate, and we think would
net have failed then had Mr.. Clay been
able TO be there. We think the House
would have adopted it had it been NOV
ed and the Yeas and Nays ordered there
on. But there has been no earnest eff
fort in the House to conform the Texas
Boundary to symmetry and justice. -
The mischicvons miscalculation, " The
worse the bill, the easier TO defeat, Z
has probably paralyzcd those who might
have moved efficiently. The result we
now see. Nor was either House ever
brought to vote directly on any PROPOSE
ton involving this question, . What is
the rightful Boundary of Texas on the
North est !''-Could such vote have
been had, the Nation could then have
Judged OF the necessity for paying Ten
Millions 10 Texas, and who caused that
necessity. Now the inquiry is fore
closed.
Well: the past is past. The next
question in order, Shall free .Ne,c-.ber-
eco be admitted as a State into The Union"
That will be the ruling question at the
next Session. We say, Avl-We pre-
sumo Congress will now hurry through
the Appropriation bills, We hope not
forgetting the cheap Postage and Land
Reform bills) and adjourn within fort
night.

The Chicopee (Mass.) Telegraph
tells of man in that vicinity, who had
occasion to borrow few pounds of flour
of a poor widow. When he borrowed
the flour, it was very cheap, but when
it was convenient to return it, the ar
ticle had risen. The man reckoned the
cost of the flour, and returned the amount
in value, thus cheating the widow out of
a few pounds! There is certainly one
very mean man not very far from that
place.

Mr.. Webster's speech.

The passage through the House of the
four important bills that have been the
subject of so much discussion, produced
great enthusiasm at Washington. Flags
were displayed, cannon fired, rockets
sent up, a procession was formed and
speeches made. The following is that
of Mr.. Webster:
Truly, gentleman, said Mr.. Webster,
the last two days have been great days
a work has been accomplished which
dissipates doubts and alarms, puts an end
to angry controversies, fortifies the Con-
stitution Of the country and strengthens
the bonds of the Union.
q Now is the winter of our discomfort
Made glorious summer:
And all the clouds that Iower'dupon our house
In the deep bosom Of the ocean buried.n
This language, fellow-citizens, is
highly poetical but, in my opinion, not
too strong for the occasion. The decis-
ions of the popular branch of the Legis-
lature appear to me to surpass in I'M
portance any acts of Legislation which
| have known for thirty years.
a cricis has come upon US, in which
mems minds have been strangely agita-
ted by notions Of separation and disun-
ion. Phantoms of new confederacies
formed out of the body Of the old thir-
teen and the new seventeen, have swan
before the eyes of some; separate State
Iexistencies have amused the visions Of
others while local controversies have
ragged with uncommon bitterness, anC
local and partial interests espoused will

zanship that the hopes of the most conf
ding appeared sometimes to wayer. Blu

quiet, these clouds, Sc portentous OF dis
aster, are now lin the deep bosom O.

We ought TO be most thankful to Prov
lidence that the result of our delibera
tons have been so pacific. When on t.

gin to ascend in the east, thanks from de
vout hearts ought to arise with it, anc

servation and perpetaation of our liber-

full indeed, that you, and !, and all of us
