The Texas Boundary Bill.

BY the kindness Of the Agent Of Bigclow's
Express, via the Rutland Road, we have Boston
papers of Saturday evening, and are able TO
give, from the Trdreler the analysed vote in
the House on the Texas Boundary Bill. Our
readers will remember that we recorded the de-
feat of that bill, Gu Friday evening, at the same
time expressing doubt as to the likelihooi of
getting better one. 1t now appears tina the
rejecting vote was reconsiiered, and the Bill,
with an amendment providing Territorial
Government for New Mexico, finally passed
by the vote given below. We confess we are
inclined to be gratfed with this result. twill
be noticed that our own Representatives voted
against the Bill--we are disposed to think,
however, with some reluctance. For it, as the
Traveller judciously says "this measure Sc
cures the passage of the California BILL as well
as the settlement Of the serious controversy be-
tween Texas and New Mexico, all peaceabIe
and good citizens will see abundant canse TO-
| thankiulness."
We cordially agree with the Traveller. We
have been OF The opinion that Pearce's Bill TO
establishing the Boundary between Texas and
New Mexico is the best, practically that could
be obtamed ,cithou dangerous discussion, besides
being good in itself. We have never believed
for moment, that Slavery gained the thou
sandth part of hair by that ELL, and we hope
we shall never be found advocating any policy
for the poor purpose of irritation and nothing
