The Rinaie.

ial Organization Dill were posh Pao9eo
through all stages, just as they came from
the Senate, and now only await the Pfeai-
dest's signature to render them laws Of the
land. California finally passed by the de.
cisive vote Of $50 to 81, and Utah by 81 to
IS. A motion to afix the Wilmot ProviSo
to the latter was defeated by IS to 60.
All the measures embodied in the defeat
ed Omnibus have thus received the sane
tion of beth Houses. Their only essential
alteration is that of the Boundary between
New-Mexico and Texas, whereby $4,000
square miles were taken from the former
and given 10 the latter. All that remains
to be done by either House is the sanction BY
the Senate of the junction of its Texas Boun'
dairy and New-Mezico Territorial 0rganiza-
tor bills by the House. No doubt that will
be assented to this day, and all the bills
signed by the President by tomorrow at
furthest. We presume the Senator's aud
Representatives from California will be ad-
nitted to their seats tomorrow possibly
they may be to-day.
The bills as passed provide as follows:
/. That the NORTHERN BOUNDARY OF
TEXAS shall be the parallel of 36o 30 North
latitude for three degrees Of longitude west
ward from the old line between the ..
States and Mexico, or to the l03d meridian
of longitude due west from Greenwich
thence follow that meridian down 70 the go
parallel of latitude; thence due west to the
Rio Grande, which is made the westerly
limit of Texas thence to its mouth. AS
conversation for surrendering her claims
to territory North of this line, Texas is to
receive Ten Millions of Dollars in five per
cent bonds of the United States, whereof
Five Millions are made specifically applica-
bic to the payment of the Public Debt of
Texas.
2. New MEXICO, including all the Terri
tory acquired from Mexico North and West
of the above line East Of the Rio Grande,
and all of said Territory Westo said River,
is organized into regular Territory, for
which Officers are to be appointed and
Courts organized as for other Territories Of
the United States.
8. All the Territory acquired by the
United States from Mexico lying Westward of
New-Mexico as aforesaid and East of Califor
MIA is organized into another Territory un-
der the appellation of UTAH. This Terri
tory includes the Salt Lake region, or Great
Central Basin of our Continent, in which
the Mormons have set up their Ebenezer.)
4. CALIFORNIA is admitted into the Union
as STATE, with her chosen Boundaries and
her Free Constitution SO that her two SEN
ators and two Members already chosen may
take their seats forthwith.
5. The Territories of New Mexico and
Utah as aforesaid are to be admitted into
the Union as States, with or without Slavery
rs their People shall decide. Now we know
that they will both decide against Slavery,
promptly, surely, empbatically; but it would
not be bad thing to be sure of it. The
Anti.Slavery Proviso in these bills would
have been great damper on the passion
for Cuba Expeditions and Mexico Hunting
Parties wherewith the acquisition of Texas
and it's consequences have debauched the
South and Southwest.
-"All is restored!H was the joyful ex-
clamation Of Napoleon, on his accession to
sovereign power in France. Yes" was
the surly response of on old Republican
militaire-" all but the Half Million lives
sacrificed in subverting all this"
We cannot but feel that the protracted
struggle Just closed has been badly conduct
ed on the side of Free Soil--that many
champions of that side have been more anx-
ious to preserve their personal status and
their reputation for consistency than to save
Territory for Free Labor Had they acted
in the spirit of the true mother in Solomon's
famous child-caae, who preferred that the
false claimant should take the child rather
than see it destroyed, We are confident a
better result might have been Obtained
Have We not reason!
1t was most obvious, from the opening Of
the Session, that neither Free-Soilers nor
Slavery Extensionists could have the whole
controversy settled as they wished. 1t was
clear that some sort Of fx.up termed Com
promise would ultimately prevail. The his
tory of like controversies in the past-tbe
increasing public WEAKNESS of a struggle
which promised no result-the anxiety that
Congress should devote its attention to
measures of practical legislation--tl,e in
tense and al but universal loathing Of Con-
