| His opinions on the justice of claims were not
| fixed either in favor OF or against it. lie could
not but remark on the evideRce that the peace
! and harmony of recent measures were more ell
fectual than the conduct of certain Senators.
The agitation on domestic Slavery was az en end,
and the Senator from New Hampshire and those
who act with him sieZe upon every question re-
lating to foreign slave trade and endeavOr TO
make some capital out OF IT, to revive agitation on
the subject Of domestic Slavery. The Senator
from New Hampshire voted in the minority on the
slave trade the other day. The Senator hinsell
admits that the party Of which he has been
leader is now at the bottom. and there, hope,
they and all others who desire agitation on the
subject Of domestic Slavery will rem AN forever
believe they will never rise again to disturb tue
country.
Mr.. HALE said he never had introduced agita-
ton. He did not introduce the Slave Trade pro-
ect the other day, nor did he Introduce thus pr0Po
sition. The Senator from Kentucky undertook
to read him lecture of personal character. ne
was lectured under the belief that he vas az the
bottom. He knew no one more capacltateo from
experience to lecture on conduct becoming those
at the bottom than the Senator from KENTUCKY
He was no prophet but he would venture 70 90
clare that every man who placed himself as can
ddste for popular favor in any State IN the Union,
on the ground Of being the author or supporter OF
the quiescent Compromise of the last session.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
The resolution to close the debate on the New
York and California Branch MINIS bill was amend
ed extending the time from twelve to three
O'Clock to-day.
The House went into Committee ofthe Whole
on the State of the Union on that bill
Mr. KING of n. J. replied to the remarks OF Mr.
Chandler, delivered yesterday. He differed from
him as TO the capacity Of the Mint at PhusdelPna
to coin from seventy-iive to one hundred million
| per annum. Passing by double eagles and coin
! ing the smaller pieces, the capacity would not
amount to thirty millions The gentleman from
Pennsy lvans said that the transportation oil odl-
lion from New-YOrk 70 Philadelphia tor coinage
and sending back coin could be effected fOr $4,000
per annum by means of Adamss Express. but he
! iMr Kingl was sure that whenever such bargain
1 was made it would not be for that sum. Including
insurance and other expenses 1t would COST
! $24O 900. He said that the cost OF lot OF groond
/ in New-York, erection OF buildings machinery, &c.
| would be less than in Philadelphia, aud twice as
| much money coined for S25OOO0. These build
! ines would be more for utilltarlan purposes than
for the eye. He thought 1t right that there should
/ be Branch Mint in California he opposed hr.
! Chambers amendment. who proposed that their
B shall be an Assayer's Office in New FORK, whence
the depositer of gold shall receive certificate, to
| be receivable for public dues This ought not to
( be considered for moment. 1t would Dc IN
effect to issue paper currency OF sio'OOV, UoO'
payable and receivable at no particular place
/ TO take the gold from New York TO Philadelphia
10 be coined, would be as absurd as to require the
farmer to establish his threshing machine In
neighboring town. In conclusion, he showed that
the Philadelphia Mint was in the wrong place.
Mr.. DISNEY contended that this was not the
time to incur the expenses Of another Mint Inc
estimates for the expenditures OF the present
year will exceed those of the last by SIX or seven
millions beside, we have large national debt.
/ This establishment of Mint in New York would
involve another million of dollars. Wewere told
Yesterday, and by report of the Director, that
/ tie Mint at Philadelphia could be increased to
five or six times its former capacity for coming
these facts be true, why create another Mint Ia
/ New.Yorkl If one be erected in California, the
/ influx Of bullion into New York would be pre-
+ vented. He called on the Committed to condemn
at once the proposition.
/ Mr.. HOLMES contended that If it be essential to
establish Mint in New York, do So but do not
on representations from that City, when no ne
cessty had been shown to exist for involving the
: Government in large expenditure. Suppose tue
Mint at Philadelphia is insufficient, what then
Establish Mint in California This would sd
perscede the necessity for a Mint in New-York.
He had no objection to New. York becoming as
rich as Tyre. Her citizens ought to rally around
