Congress-The Omnibus Bill Defeated

We have for number Of weeks entirely
neglected 10 publish the synopsis OF the do
ings Of Congress, for the reason that it con-
tanned very little of interest. For months
the theme of discussion has been the Com
promise Bill Of the Omnibus Committee.
This measure has occupied great share of
the time of Congress, at great cost to the
nation, and delay ed, if no defeated for a
time to come, the admission of California,
measure which nearly the whole people of
the nation earnestly wish to see CONSUME
mated, ard which the people Of that State
have right to expect and demand. The
proceedings which we publish this week
possess considerable interest. 1t will be seen
from them that the Omnibus scheme has
received its death-blow in theSenate. 1t has
been amended and amended, and whitfield
dowI to small point, until nothing is left
save provision establishing territorial gov
ernment for Eutaw, and in that shape the
bill has been ordered to be engressed by
very decided vote. The struggle will now
be for the admission Of California, and the
whole power of the propagandists will be
brought against it to defeat it What the
result will be time will show.

Missouri Election.

The election for members of the Legisla-
ture takes place in Missouri to day. Upon
its result will depend the fate Of Col. Ben
ton, so far as his reelection TO the United
States Senate is concerned. We can anti
cipate the result without waiting for the
returns. The probability is, that the un-
fortunate divisions among the Democrats
will give the power Of that heretofore un-
wavering Democratic State into the hands
of the Wings, and place whig in the seat
which has been SO long and ably occupied
by Col. Benton. This result will be regret
ted by the democracy of the northern States
generally, and, in the present posture of af-
fairs, by very many who have not acted
with him politically; but it can scarcely be
otherwise while the democracy are divided
and the wings united against them. 49,

Consistency,

The Buffalo Express, whig press, says
that Mr.. Fillmore ,cilI not hesitate 10 ex-
ercise the veto power, whenever it shall
seem to be called for by consideration Of
public policy" The whig party have
most vilely denounced the exercise of this
power by the President, under all eircum-
stances; they have also favored in certain
emergencies, and they now announce the
determination of their president to exercise
the 'odious ard tyrannicsl one.nan power
whenever he pleases, and whenever the
leaders OF the whig party may so dictate |!
Such is whiggery. "rhe boo, is on ',otber
leg now-they arc i'll power and they
forget their pledges principles, and prof:
fessious, in the pride Of their elevation.
We know Of but one standing principle
to which they permanently sdaere.-
We mean the zone term principle -
The people compel their strric: rdherence
TO this doctrine, or else i, would also be
violated. Consistency is jowel, but the
whig party is poor in this respect. Ohio

AN ANEcDoTE FOR THE LApIEs.-We
remember somewhere 10 have read story
Of youth, vino, hesitating in his choice
between TWO young ladies', by both of whom
he was beloved, was brought TO decision
BY means Of rose. II so happened one
day, as all the three were wandering in the
garden, that one of the girls in her haste
10 pluck new blown rose, wounded her
finger with thorn; it bled freely, and ap-
plying the petals Of a white rose to the
wound she said, j am second Venus: !
have dyed the while rose red,'
At that moment they heard scream,
and fearing the other young lady, who
loitered behind had met with an accident,
hastened back TO meet her. The fair ones
screams had been called forth by no worse
an accident shan had befallen her compan.
ion. She had angrily thrown away the
offending flower, and made so pertinacIous
and fre,iul q lamentation over her wounded
finger, that the youth, alter a little refiec-
tion, resolved on speedy union with the
less handsome. but more amiable Of the
two friends. Happy wsul1 it be for many
n kind hearted woman, did she know by
what seeming trifes The affection Of those
whom she loves may be confirmed or alien

Warlike.

The news from Texas and New Mexico
begins 10 assume a threatening aspect
The Proclamation issued by Gov. Bell, OF
Texas, concerning an extra session of the
Legislature, to open On the 18th OF August
"lo deliberate and take action upon, as
their wisdom may direct, such matters as
shall then and there be- presented, inyolv-
ing the honor and rights Of the State. "
The preamble simply states that an "occa-
sion has transpired since the adjournment
of the Legislature, such as is contempla.
ted in the constitution, rendering it neces-
sary and proper to convene the Legsla-
ture of the State in extraordinary session."
and there is no other allusion to the cause
Of the movement.
The Galveston News learns that Gov
ernor Bell wishes to take command in per-
son Of whatever troops may be raised by
the Legislature to act in New Mexico
The News ndds:
"We hear verbally Of public meetings
in different parts Of the country, and oil,
without one dissenting voice, are in favor
of the most efectuul and prompt measures
for defending the rights and the honor Of
the State, against the insurrectionary move
ments of Santa Fe, under the countenance
ard encouragement of the present admin
istration."
In commenting upon the proclamation
of the Governor of Texas, the Houston
Telegraph says that the question Of boun.
dary betwixt that individual State and the
Federal Government, representing all the
States Of the Union, is one OF those politi'
cal questions which can only be decided by
the sword. 1t says further: .f.
"If President Taylor or Congress should
persist in refusing o..acknowledge the claim
of Texas, there is but one alternative left.
The compact Of annexation become void
This compact was never ratified by The
constitutional majority of the Senate, con-
sequently it is not in the nature ofa treaty,
and cannot, ngreeably 10 the provisions Of
the constitution, b. subject TO the jurisdic.
tion ofthe Supreme Court.
Texas has the full right to decide upon
the extent Of her limits. The General
Government, controlled by the constitution,
cannot define the limits Of "A State after it
has been admitted into the Union. 10 this
instance it is powerless. The Supreme
Court has no jurisdiction. What power,
then, is to interfere, if Texas asserts her

Ohio State Fair.

The arrangements for the State fair to be
held in this city in September next, are pro-
crossing rapidly. The grounds at Camp
Washington are enclosed with high board
fence, and workmen are engaged putting
up several large buildings and other eonven-
fences for the exhibition ;-a also, making
two mammoth tents for the same purpose.
These structures viii together cost over
$4,000 in addition to the SO, 900 to be a.
warded in premiums. Mr.. Bateham, tie
Secretary of the State Board of Agrieul-
ture, is now in town attending to the ar.
rangements, in place of Mr.. Lapham, W hose
decease has deyolved this duty upon him.
There is every reason to believe, that this
will be one OF the most comprehensive exhi-
bitions ever made on the American Conti-
nent So far as we can learn, exhibitors and
other visitors will be in attendance from
not merely the States of Ohio, Kentucky
and Indiana, but from Michigan, Virginia,
Pennsylvania, New York, and other States
East and West. The products of the soil
and manufactures of the work shops to be
shown will be numerous, and with these
will be such an exhibition Of farm stock, do.
mestic fabrications, and other articles Of
interest, as will serve not only to gratify>
the intelligent and reasonable curiosity Of
all, but also to show the wonderful ebarae-
ter of the native resources, productive in-
dustry, mechanical skill, and manufacture
ing enterprise Of our country.
The proper committees are attending dill
ge emily to their several duties, and we doubt
not that every arrangement will be COM
plete for the accommodation of exhibitors

@ TIE whig papers seem to be perfect
ly satisfied with the new dynasty at Wash
ington. Notwithstanding the sound of their
imprecations against the Compromise have
scarcely died away, before President Fill
more calls around him as his constitutional

be favorable to that measure; still he is all
that fancy painted him. Though he ap-

Cabinet from the slave States, and one of

Educational,

Report of The Proceedings Of the Mset.
ing held at the academy, in Ravsnna,
on the 1st inst.
According to appointment, the Teachers,
Directors, Examiners and others interested
in Education, met to decide on some means
to secure an object Of very great impor-
tance to all our schools-a uniformity tn
Text Books, and that in the best books.
This, considering the many good series now
in use, is a somewhat difficult task.
A long and interesting discussion was car
ried on till quite late. Much zeal and interest
was manifested; more, perhaps, than is
common to see in school matters in this vii
lage: All seemed to feel that it was a SUBJ
iect that could not be treated with too much
candor, deliberation, caution and judgment.
The discussion went on briskly till past
ten o'clock, when, for the want Of time to
determine which are the best books, and to
devise definite plan for the successful &C.
complishment of their object. the meeting
adjourned till next Tuesday evening Cthe
9th inst.)
This will be an important step towards
effecting other objects towards the improve
ment of our schools. An interest is awak-
ened which will not be satisfied with mere
ly uniformity in books, but will move the
friends of education to investigate and act
upon other measures for the better regula-
ton of our school system.
Let every citizen of Ravenna be present
at this meeting. This subject is important
and concerns US all. 1t is to determine
what books shall be in the hands of our
scholars for several years to come; what
moral influences are to be constantly in
stiIled into theit minds; what mental dis-
ciplins they shall receive; and for ,ohat
purpose We are to spend our money in the
purchase of books.
