VOICES OF THE PEOPLE.
With the exception Of those political fanatics
at each extreme of Northern and Southern an
tagonistics, there is universal appreciation, by
the Press, of the effort on the part of the SENATE
towards such an adjustment of existing questions
as will satisfy all parties and all persons but such
as are determined not to be satisfied ,cith any thing
that God or Man shall ordain for the restoration of
peace and repose to the country. From the entire
West, embracing one-third Of the whole popula-
ton of the United States, there is thus far no dis
sentient to the determination to maintain invio-
late the Union, the Constitution, and the peace of
the United States. Trusting to the patriotism Of
the House Of Representatives to give effect to the
whole body Of measures which have received the
rational discomfort with the General Government
in any quarter.
The hour of action of the House of Represen.
tatives upon the Senate Bills being near at hand,
we shall not trouble our readers, after to-day, with
any further array of public sentiment in relation to
the great policy which they include. The extracts
from contemporary prints which we make to-day
are on that account the more numerous. We shall,
without incumbering them with any argument Of
our own, leave them to speak for themselves.
FROM THE LOUISVILLE (Kr.) JOURNAL.
We copy below from the last number Of the National In
tegencer coDgatuatory article upon the passage Of the
California bill through the Senate. That paper says, in
oC
"LooK TO THE SENATE !" With all our hearts we join in
the exclamation, and would add, LOOK HOUSE,
REPRESENTATIVES Let the people look to the House
and that it adept the necessary in the present
exgency the peace and harmony Of the Union Let them
speak through their presses and through public meetings
every section Of the United States and demand in tones
majestic and terrible than the Of earthquake that
their representatives shall promptly do what is required for the
pacifcation of the country.
THE RICHMOND REPUBLICAN,.
The attention Of the country now turned from the Sc
nate to the House Of Representatives 1t is the desire Of the
whole nation that the bills which have passed the Senate
should receive the prompt action and support of the Lower
House. It is to be hoped that there will be wisdom and pa
trotism enough in the House to own down any attempt
attach the Wmot proviso to the Territorial bills, proceed
ing which would be wanten and grautous insult to the
South.
FROM THE ROCHESTER, (S r.) DAILY AMERICAN.
These several before the House to be
acted upon We learn with regret that Of the Wing
members from this State entertain doubts in regard to the
peency Of pursuing the course udciousy recommended
by the President Mr.. AsHMUs Of Massachusetts, as will
be by the Congressional proceedings n another column
made effort Monday to take up the several bills in the
order in which they came from the Senate and for that pu
pnft hv
tie vo,e We cannot but hope that all these will
pass before the end of the session. Objections exist know
in many honest minds the precise line of boundary marked
out in Pearces BILL and also to the payment Of ten millions
to Texas. But these nothing uhe oeighed against
the pacicaton of the country. The EXPECT SET
before the present session shall close, and will not
forgive any failure.
FROM THE RALEIeH (N. CD TIMES.
The prospect for the passage of these bills through the
House, present advised regard as favorable. The
People Of country tired Of contention upon these sub
ects they paake but in small degree speaking generally
of the excitement which preceded their passage through the
Senate, and they ,0iH look prompt action ON the part Of
the House They do not see--and we confess we have
been able to seehe positive rights Of any section
the country fatally affected by any thing involved in these
to appehend any danger to the Union That
the Union has enemies is appaent but that the people are
resolved Upon its preservation is abundantly evident
For one, Union man. and The Times is a Union
paper When North Carolina shall take position against
the Union, we expect to be found upon her sdehee will
be doubt about her action when her rights and honor are
invaded by oppression and injustice.
THE BALTIMoRE PATRIOT OF YESTERDAY.
The National Inteigencer perfectly justified by the
feelings Of the people when it stated that if popular
could be takeH twenty nine Of the thirty States Of the Union
would approve by overwhelming msorities the passage of
Mr. PEARcEs bill for the settlement of the Texas boundary.
Why, them does the House hesitate delay in passing
The accounts we have from Washington
that majority Of the House are in favor Of the BILL
and that will pass whenever to be acted on There
for the present delay in the pressing importance
Of passing the appropriation bills These ought not however,
to be delayed by the action the Texan boundary bill In
the House, in the Senate that subject has been discussed
till argument and illustration exhausted I there be
member who does not and understand as il s with
out one word being said upon it, he can under
stand it. and must in the dark That be can do now,
with ss good chance Of voting correctly he could do
month or year from this. The bill ought therefore, to be
taken up without delay, voted upon and passed Wey
