agreed to.
The House then went into Committee of the
hole ON the Union, and resumed the consideration
Of the Californis question.
Mr.. MEADE gave notice Of the amendment he To-
fenced to otter, hrs admitting California with her
present Constitution, modified TO init one
boundary 10 80 30 south lat secondly the Territory
so1ih to have Territorial Government, declaring
to be repealed all laws which ever were ia force IA
SAID territory, to contain 10 clause prohibiting STA
very thirdly, Territorial Government to be es.
tabiihed north Of that line, prohibiting negro Sa
very; io1rthy, making the extreme northern boun-
barry OF Texas 90 30, and making that State To-
nus.
Mr. BowDES opposed the Presidents plan aud
the sentte's Compromise, and declared for non
Intervention, or for partition of the Territory be-
tween North and South
Dir. GENTRY, (Whigl Of Tenn proceeded to show
that the annexAtionof Texas and the war Of con-
quest were the incipent causes OF the present
troubles, and of which Wings had iorewaraed the
country. He was in favor of admitting California
Alone, or il combination with the bills giving 60
vernments to he Territories.
Mr. McCLERSASD. Loco Of I'D. spoke ia con
domination of Mr. WiImot whose Proviso had
caused the frantic agitation OF the Slavery question
He said that he had prepared a bill to admit
California and substantially reenact the Govern
ment Of New. Mexico and Utah, now in force, and
providing for a settlement Of the boundary quss-
ton, adopting non-intervention as 10 Slavery.
Mr. WOODWARD, Loco of s c. reprobated the
idea that, because Congress has power TO admit a
new State, it is bound to admit California aud he
entered into close argument TO maintain bis po-
sition. The great objection 70 the admission was
the ground OF expediency because, in the formation
OF the State Government fraud and imposition
have been practised on portion OF the people Of
this Union.
Mr.. STANTON, Iocol of Tenn. said he still re.
tanned his opposition to the admission of California
1t was idle and hypocritcal to talk about the pre-
stryation of the Union, if the North so bent on
mischief not even 10 allow TO the South the MIS-
souri, compromise, for which he contended. He al
luded to vote which Mr.. Cobb, Of Ala. gave for
the Missouri compromise when the Oregon bill
was under consideration, and Of having held 1t
back until the last moment.
Something like the following took place. We
did not hear with distinctness.
Mr. COBB Loco Of Ala. expressed his sorrow
that he ever cast the vote, and told how he came
to delay voting, having waited until Mr.. Wood
ward voted.
Mr.. WOODWARD remarked that the gentleman
had become very senteutous, and held him Wood
ward as an Abolitonist.
Mr. COBB-No.
Mr.. WOoDwARD-But | bold you
Mr. COBB-N hat is that
Mr.. WOoDwARD-An Abolitonist could not treas
me worse.
IConfusion prevailed, both gentlemen speaking
at once. The Chairman raped to order.
Mr. COBB said he had great confidence IN Mr..
Woodward's opinion. He thought the gentleman
was right, according to the construction he had
placed on it but when be (Woodward) left him
Cobb he doubted whether was correct, and hav-
ing so exalted an opinion OF MIR. WOODWARD he
was still willing to follow him
MIR. WooDwARD-What you said was injurious
to me and to the South.
MIR CoBB-Howl
Mr.. WooDwARD-B ecause, having given part,
you will give all the territory TO the North.
Mr. CoBB said he knew of no Compromise which
declares any portion of the territory free unless the
y. oyle in the territories make Z 50.
Mr.. STANTON resumed, and argued further in IA
yor Of the Missouri Compromise line.
The Committee rose a few minutes after three,
and the House took a recess till clock.
AFTER RECESS.
The House met at seven-Gb0ut 80 members
present-and went into Committee on the Califor.
MIA question.
Mr.. KAUFMAN Loco Of Texas. preferred the
logic Of Garrison to that Of Seward, and spoke in
FAVOR of Slavery. He said that neither the
Senators or Representatives oil Texas are author
lied 10 pledge that State 70 the boundary qaes-
ton. But be had no doubt but that she will enter
tain any reasonable proposition, and decide IN
telligently and patriotically with regard 10 it,
debt viii be e20,00O,0O0. The United states W as
justly liable for its payment. Texas will not con-
sent to give inch Of her territory below the lat
tude Of $40 and will not consent TO take less than
Sl2,OO0,000; will ask that from States and It may
be made out Of her territory twill demand that the
Territorial Government Of New Mexico shall be
without the Wilmot Proviso, or else Texas will not
consent to these terms, and her right to the soil Is
lot to be impaired
Mr.. STEVENS. (Whig) of Penn protested against
the Texas Annexation Resolutions having any
validity uEder our constitutional laws; when Texas
shall come to sub divide her territory into States,
this question will be prominently at issue. Mr.. 5.
argued strongly against Slavery, and said that the
law oil 1888 for the recovery ofugitve Slaves, was
infamous.
1t now wants a quarter Of ten O'Clock. There
is good attendance in the galleries as well as OF
members.
Mr.. WELBoRS, Loco of Ca. argued in favor OF
the Missouri Compromise.
Mr.. HARRIS Loco Of Alabama, complained OF
Mr.. Richie for chasing him factionist, with
Giddngs, because he (Harris,) is opposed to the
Senatorial Compromise. True he voted for Mr.
Clayton's Compromise but should not for this. Mr..
Richie said this was a mystery; but said Mr. ~
it was not more mysterious than to see the editor
of the Union lying down with Mr. Clay, whom he
so long abused Mr.. A. TOOK strong Soutnern
ground.
