Never Despair Of tho Republic.

Let no friend of the republic despair; order will yet
come out OF chaos-ght from darkness; and the majestic
temple Of the Unon shaken TO its centre by The combined
action of northern and southern extremists. will be
strengthened and perpeuaied by the fierce conflict which
now being waged against it The result of this day
proceedings the House of Representatives though well
calculated excite the fears even OF those most lnder
ent to the dangers which surround u.s. affords no true
index OF the OF the House in relation TO the ques-
tons involved in the matter of the boundary OF Texas.
Strange as il may seem, it is less strange than true,
and subsequent events will most assuredy verify the
ser,ion, that there is at this moment majority OF at
least forty favor OF the general principles OF the Texas
boundary BILL this day defeated in the House OF Repre-
senatives Why then, IT may be asked s not this re-
suit shown by the record answer, because Of public
sentiment in particular localities at the North Howev
much may regret and deprecae H. the fact exists
There are many representatives from the North who
in favor Of the Texas boundary bill il came from the
Senate to the House, and yet who cannot vote for
il unless opportunity is afforded them OF attempt
ing to amend il in Committee OF the Whole Let,
them the friends OF the Union consent that the bill shall
90 10 the Committee of the Whole, and no evil, am sat
sed will result from it. There will be many attempts
to amend, but no material amendments will be made
The bill will receive rather will be insured, its full
strength by the process, and its final triumph by large
majority rendered certain.

ANOTHER FEDERAL MEASURE AvowED-We do not
know when the fundamental difference between the two
great parties of this country has been clearly shown
than in the very attempt, by the whig members OF
committe of the House, TO hold Mr. Richie, editor OF
the Washington Union entitled to the punishment Of
the House because he would not reveal the names OF
certain correspondents OF the paper whose only SIN was
thai of daring 10 write against the wings very able
discussion followed this attempt Of the wings IN the
course of which the position Of the democrats on the
whole question was forcbly and fully defined Mr.:
Evans of Maryland. the most anxious champion OF
the wing side of the question: and he felt the cIucsm OF
his temper and tried in his phrensy, to make personal
ssue-an effort which his calm and fearless adversary
made ali the more ridiculous by his GOODNESS and debe
ration The Indiana member is surgeon, and u was
the opinion OF the House generally that better dssect
ing has ever been accomplished than his surgical examna
ton Of The speech of Mr.. Evans Mr. Meade, OF Virginia,
also expressed his views upon the same subject WIN
great eoquence and effect We presume the wbig leaders
will mex, the editors Of this country TO come un.
der the same law that recently passed the French
Chambers No doubt Mr.. Evans and MIR. Stanly are
both OF opinion that free press in this country is one
thing the Galphins have most reason TO fear.
