A proposition, virtually censuring the
larr President Tor an opinion that Mr.. Craw'
ford did not lose his rights as an individu.
al by taking Office, was Withdrawn. the OH
er day, and the House is nd OF that obi
um. An overwhelming majority. then
passed the resolutions reported BY Mr. Burt,
and which condemn the transaction as IN.
jusli6ahIe by law or precedent. Mr.. Bay
lev, Of Virginia, moved to take up the ap,.
preparation bills. and make Them the spe-
ral order for every dav ill they are pas.
sed. This was a spirited and proper move
men., and though il took the House by
surprise, it wanted hut two votes 10 pass
il. The Committee on Ways and Means
will report the same motion 10 DAY, and it
will then pass.
As was expected the day was an imPor-
tan, one in the Senate. Mr.. Butler con-
c'uded his very able speech. He made a
dis'ir CT proposition on the part OF his con-
s,iluents, AMI which. for the sake of har>
many, though great sacrifice, they would.
he said, be content with. II was to make
the parallel of36 deg. 80 min. the South
ern boundary of California. He suggested
this as a compromise, conveying with it
all the incidents, obligations and rights
OF the Missouri compromise. Mr.. Butler
remarked. hat ifhe could presume 10 make
a suggestion TO The new administration, il
was that they should not speculate too far
on the disaffection of the South. I, was
deeper than they supposed, and was not
confined to South Carolina.
The COMPROMISE bill was reported to
the Senate, and the amendments concurret
in. Mr.. Butler then made fierce on
slaughl on The bill. The final vote will be
taken in a week, fever.

Mr.. Foote's amendments Prospects Of
the adjustment Important Presidential
fiction.
The friends of the adjustment hill in The
Senate are much encouraged. Mr.. Fooi-'s
amendments will. OF course, be adopted.
because al The Southern men will 60 tor
them. and nearly all the friends of the bill
agreed y s,er'lav TO support them. They
will render thu bill more acceptable TO the
South. and will. in tact. be more favorable
to tn. South than the Missouri compro.

One Of the amendments proposes the
parallel OF "a as tie northern boundary oil
Texas. The other recommends to Cali
fornia the reduction of her boundaries to
the natural limit o'the Z5th parallel, and
further, forces California to comply with
ii, by making her whole lands 10 depend
upon it. Besides, It is well known that
California will readily comply with the
suggestion.
The motion TO lay the bill on the table
is alb. ndoncd for the present. and the
amendments are 10 be acted upon, and
general discussion Of the merits ol the Oil
tolerated for another week or Ten days.
