NJ. Foote's Resolution. The C0mmifee-
SPEECH Of Mr.. THrHry-- When EiH the Dis

The unceasing Slavery discussion still oceu-
pies about two-thirds Of tue time Of both Houses.
To-day in tie Honse Mr.. German. n Democrat
&c member from Indiana lnndc what he considers
a conciliaory speech directing his remarks prin-
cpally to Horace Mann Of Massachusetts. He
advocated tie extension Of the Missouri line 10
the Pacific. do not believe this mode Of ADJUST
ment will gain favor IN either House Of Congress
or with the people.
In the Senate on yesterday, Mr. Seward at.
tempted a reply to tile arguments of Mr.. Web
ster. He is opposed to the compromises OF both
Cay and Webster aud uDalterably fixed in bis
opposition tu carving any more slate States out
of Texas. He is altogether too ultra in his views
10 hope anything from him. He seems willing
however to vote for the adiii5sidd Of California
with her present Constitution.
The Honse to-day very properly Voted to print
a very liberal number of the Report Of tie Com
missioner of Plients-l 10000 OF that portion
relative 10 the great Interests OF Agriculture and
10000 pf the Mechanical part. The question
gave rise to a considerable discussion.
In tie Senate. Mr. Footes resolution Tor the
appointment Of select committee Of thirteen to
dispose Of Ihe slavery question, was taken up
and di1cussel II is thought that tile following
geiitlemen will compose the committee should

ment Of a conferences committee, and that Mr..
CLAY will be chosen u preside over it. cannot
tyouch for the accuracy Of the rumors. Should
there be any Foundation for lhsm. it wol.!d seem
that Mr. Foote's resolution to be adopted.
Mr.. Turney made a very violent Southern
speech to day on Mr.. Clay resolutions He went
for the Southern Address Of last winter snd the
Southern Convention Tor this Summer. Both. he
said. were conservative measures. II so, ! must
J confess, thu, they are very unlike his speech
: which preached Of resistance and disunion should
