WASHINGTON, ThurGdsy, Sept s.
We have passed through what will, indeed, 90
down on the tide of History as a crisis day. Az
was generally understood this morning, as the re-
suit of the caucusiDg, overturning, drumming, dri,
ling, threatening and eoaxing, of last night, the
House reoonsidered the vote by which tho third
reading of the naked Boundary bill was refused
yesterday, by 13l Yeas to rs Nays.
The backward track having been taken by
process which will be indicated by your tele.
graphic ok Itch, until the vote by which Me- BofD's
amendment was voted down yesterday was
reached, Mr. GRIsEELL of Massachusetts moved
the reconsideration thereof. Mr.. CAMPBELL of
Ohio moved TO table that motion. But, objection
being made by Mr.. FOWLER Of Massachusetts, thu
roll vas called and gave the vote of lO6 to o.
The next vote was On the direct question of the
reconsideration of Dir. BoYp's amendment, and
resulted Yeas LOG, Nays99.
This knot having been thus united, and the
house having refused 20 order the previous ques-
ton, the way was now open for amendments. OF
these there YVES any quantity as you will bg
prepared 10 hear. The first which care to ltgke
was from MIR. TooMBs Of Georgia, proposing an adj
ditional section to the amendment OF Mr.. Boyd Ia
establish Territorial Government for New. MszI.
CO. by adding that 30 citizen OF the United States
shail be de prived Of his life, liberty or property;
except by the judgment Of his peera end the le 1g
of the and and that the Constitution Of the United
States and such statutes thereof az may not be
locally unappicabe to the common lay, as is exe
sted with the British Colonies Of America 1psh
the Fourth Of July, l776, shall be the exclusive
law of said Territory on the subject of African
Slavery until altered by the proper authorities"
