TELEGRAPH DISPATCHES.
CONGRESSIONAL.
WAsHINGroN, April 5.
SENATE.

OEINA
The discussion of Mr. Bells resolutions
was resumed. --L 10 q 4
Mr.. Shields addressed the Senate upon the
slavery question. He said he lad been III
structed by his legislature to vote for the
WlImot provso, and he felt bound to obey.
He believed that Congress had power over
slavery in the Territories and in the District
of Columbia-everywhere, except where re-
stricted by the Constitution. He was oppos-
ed to MIR. Foote'S proposition for Select
Committee. He thought it would do no
good, and that the grievances OF the South
were more imaginary than real He express
sed strong confidence that the good sense
and integrity of the people would preserve
the Union. He expressed himself in favor Of
the admission of California as simple act of
Justice to her people. He contended that
slavery was already abolished in California
and New Mexico. He repudiated the idea
of an equilibrium of States. The North
would never submit that one foot Of Tree
American soil shall be made slave territory.
Mr.. Mason spoke at asome length in favor
of slavery in the Territories as long as they
remain Territories Of the United Sta:es. He
maintained that the Federal relation OF Cal
ifornia was that of a Territory and nothing
else. He must say that he did not think the
constitution Of California worth the parchment
upon which 1t was engrossed. If it was TO, be
maintained at the expense Of the ghts guar
antied to the South such was the feeling of
the Southern people that just as cheerfllly
as they came into the Union would they go
out of it. He called upon Senators topause
before they decided to bring in new State,
against the protest of every Southern man,
with its present boundaries and constitution.
He deshed her early admission but with
suitable boundaries.
| The Vice President stated the question to
be Mr. Baldwin's amendment to the PROPOSE
ton to refer Mr. Bell's resolutions to a seleet
committeeon the admission of California.
| Mr.. Underwood said he would vote against
| the amendment. Ia -
Mr.. Butler appealed to the majority not to
force California into the Union
Mr.. Clay expressed regret at the feelings
of dstrust evinced. He was in favor of the
motion for select committee, not with the
confidence expressed by many, but in the con,
viction that, if it did no good, it would do no
evil. He was willing to vote for the admis-
sion OF California, either as an independent
measure or in connection with measures for
the government of the Territories. He was
opposed to tie amendment. se-
Mr.. Benton rose and supported his position
in favor of the admission of California as a
separate measure, but gave way for motion
to adjourn.
The Senate then adjourned until Monday.
HOUSE. 8-...-
The private calender was taken up, and
fourteen private bills were passed. POI

There are no material facts stated in the

The Legislature was still IN session, but
doing little. Many complaints were made,
and some designations.
The rivers of California had all sutsided to
their ordinary level. 2
In the mining regions, everything was
quiet. Reports had come in of the discovery
ofnew diggings. Miners are pouring into the
region. The SUPPLY of provisions was ahun-
dant. The present population of Upper Cal
ifornia is estimated at 100000. The general
health was good. In market, there was not
much doing, the tightness of the money mar
ket, checking operations.

THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY THE BULwARK
OF THE UNioN-Those who are familiar
with the sentiments of parties North and
Sou h can easily decide now to which party
the destinies of this Union should be COM
milted. II the territorial question were sub
mitteo to the democratic party alone, North
and South it would be settled in a week sat-
lsfactorially. If it were committed to the
wing party alone, the Union would be dis
solved in about the same time. ri
Louisville Democrat.
This is a ludicrous illustration of the bragg
ging, self,inhated egotsm, of some Dem
ocratic Editors. Now, pray, why have not
the Democrats, into whose hands this ques
ton lies as the majority in Congress, settled
the matter before this? They have the
power in Congress, and the question is vir-
tually with them. Instead OF settling it in a
week satisfactorily, months have been oc-
cupied, and yet the strife continues undated.
There is about as much consistency in this,
as there is honesty IN the assertion, that if
left with the Wings, the Union would be
dissolved. How does it happen that the
principal Disunionists in Congress are Dem
Gratis? What are the evidences that the
Wing party is band Of traitors, and that
the Democratic party is made up Of pure
patriots? Bah! The editor is numbsculE
or believes his readers such, when he .endeav-
ors to cram such folly down their throats.
