WASHINGTON CITY, June 4.
To-day the Senate and House have been quite
uniiierestng. The Senate has been considering
tAe,motion to call on the President to show the
cause for the numerous removals from ONCE.
ANY quantity of gas was expended for very little
PURPOSE. The reason for removals, that Gen.
Tayhor would give, we suppose, would be to >us-
tain alnicable relations with the rest OF NAH
hisd."
In the House, Mr.. Boothe, of Connecticut made
a fiery Abolition speech. There were present
alb ut twenty-five members, and four or flVe III The
ga;eries, and not sing person paying the least
attention; vet Mr.. Boothe committed some awful
rhetorical fiourishes and gestures worthy OF De-
mosthenes
Yesterday Mr.. Colcock, of our State, made a
most excel, n; speech; he had, few nights be-
fore, lost several negroes-stoen from hlni-and
lie therefore felt like speaking.
To-day week the debate Oh the Presidents mes
sage relative to California, will come to close III
the House, III accordance with resolution passed
by that body some time since.
The news this morning by telegraph from Nash
Vile is very interesting; Judge Sharkey OF Mssis-
sipp President; Gen. Mcdonald OF Georgia, Vice
President; Cooper and Eastman, Secretaries
The report closes by saying that :" Clay S ComPro-
mise Bill will be reject d." That is right. The
grand aim of Clay, for 10! these many years, has
been to ruin the South, and no step has ever been
SO bold as his last; but it will iail-il must fail

on t. California Dill. Dunham, of Indiana, made
all an:i-slavery speech; he was followed BY John
son of Tennessee, pro-slavery, and several others;
all amounted to fraction be.ow nothing.
The Senate took up Chase's amendment and
voted il dowll-an amendment which embodied
the Willnot proviso, and for which Mr. Webster

other amendments were then made, a;d the Sell

them DISSOLVE THE UNION People of the South,
is there something in the name of Union (Which
is now only name) to throw gilded beauty
around starvation!-you BLESS the memory of
your fathers and say "ihey fought OH CaIden's
plains"-that they were true in '76-because they
dissolved the union with England, for far less
cause than we have now. But your children will
CURSE your memories and say that their fathers,
in the day when they might have saved us by
dissolving copartnership which has heaped up
on US ruin and disgrace, basely yielded to degrada
ton, and pandered to- the will OF dwelling yam
kee majority. Now, when you might resist with
success you basely yield, and leave that "heritage
OF wo" (the Union) to your children, that they
may have the resistance to make, when that very
Union has made them too weak to resist If op-
preston, degradation and insult be boon so no.
ble, as for it to barter rights such people never
before had, then maintain the Union-but if the
converse of thus proposition be true, why, the
sooner you dissolve, the sooner you are free.
JUNE 6.-To-day the Senate passed resolution
to meet hereafter at ii a. m. instead OF IL. A
number of amendments of little interest were Of
fered and discussed, but the Senate did not come
to vote OH the bill. The news from Nashville is
cheering. The Missouri Compromise will proba-
bly, be settled upon as sine qua non. The alb
sence of Senator from So Ca. just now is quite
matter of interest, when every day some impor-
tant vote is expected. The necessity of hasty
appointment will give Gov. Seabrook little chance
to consult as to the general wishes of the State,
but the appointment should be made Immediate
ly, without waiting, as it is highly important for
the Senator to be here now. 1t is amusing to see
how the South are gulled by the North The New
York Herald has been heralded through the South
as Southern paper, taking noble stand for
Southern rights, until large Southern suhscrip-
ton was obtained, and now, its cloven foot is being
shown. Among other things, taking strong ground
against the Southern convention-a measure III
which was deeply involved the very salvation of
tue South. Thus it is with the Democratic Review,
Noah's Times, and other periodicals. When |
can believe in the spirit OF deceit ITSELF then will
begin to think, that here and there may be found
an honest man in the North. mean by honest, a
man who would keep his professions in the face of
a siXpence, offered him to desert them And these
are the men with whom we are associated-a part
otihat great Union which some men call glorious.
With every constituent part, to become nation
empannelled in ancient or modern history, the
Southern States will yet cling to a connection-a
heavy incubus upon their efforts-a connection
which leaves them weaker every day-and vam-
pire like, sucks the very blood which sustans
them. +.
