The murder Of the Compromise Bill in
the Senate, on Wednesday, says the Sun,
has created, according to the correspondent,
Of the Ledger, profound sensation IN New
York, among all classes. The Scientific
manner in which the brains were knocked
out of The bill amuses some the giving of
government 10 wild and unsettled terri
tory like Utah, while rich and populous
| California is contemptuously left unrecog-
n,sed, excites the indignation of others,
while the failure Of the Texas commission
gives rise to the most dsagreeable appre-
tensions with the friends of internal tran
guilty everywhere. The correspondent,
adds:
'Though the defea. of the bill was pre-
dicted about as often as its success was fore
told, many days ago, could never believe
that its rejection would have created the in
tense excitement that it does.'
There is little doubt that, among the rea-
sonable and truly patriotic Throughout, the
country, there will be great disappointment
at the resull-in view Of the time which
has been consumed, and the urgen. neces-
sty for some settlement or other.
| On Friday last, Mr.. PEARcE rose to give
notice that on Monday he would ask leave
| to introduce a bill to establish the territori-
al government of New Mexico, and settle
the boundaries of Texas. We hope it may
be an acceptable bill.
