The committee resumed it's session.
Mr.. FLOYD again resumed his remarks and
enumerated some sources by which Southern
gentlemen might perhaps think there existed some
favor for slavery at the North, but ihese he said,
were but spots in the sun. The thirteen and
half millions Of free white men at the North had
but one thought voice and prayer on the subject
and that was for the individual liberty Of man. If
this was once prejudice, it had now become
principle.
He then gave his views to the abolition Of
slavery in the District of Columba and thought
that as the people Of the District had no voice in
Congress, slavery should not be abolished with
out their consent.
lie next reviewed the fugitive slave law, and
declared that 1t was enacted more for the purpose
of woundng the feelings Of the North than for the
purpose Of securing the return Of runaway slaves.

He then spoke of politics, and declared that
while the Democracy Of the North fully
knowledged the obligations of the Constitution in
reference to the return Of fugitive slaves, yet, if
the Democratic convention should incorporate in
its creed the compromise measures, it would, in
his opinion, be followed by inevitable, disastrous
defeat.
The committee rose, and reported the bills

TERRITORIAL BUSINESS.


The journal of Monday having been read
On motion Of Mr.. SIBLEY, the House went
into Committee of the Whole on the state Of the
Union, (Mr. STANTON, of Tennessee, in the chair
and resumed the consideration of the bill author
ling the governor of the territory OF New Next
co to call an extra session of the legislative as
sembly of saia territory, should the same be
deemed necessary and expedent.
Mr.. GREY, after making few remarks in ia
vor of the bill under consideration, proceeded to
review the address of the Wings who seeded
from the caucus. and in doing so, he said he
would answer its arguments as though they had
proceeded from his colleague, MIR. MARSHALL,
Of kentucky. The address was most denuncia-
tory and bitter against those who entertained
views different from those who signed it, and he
believed it was the best instrument that could be
placed in the hands OF the Democrats Of Ken
lucky. with which to break down the Wing party
in that State Now, the Wings had no strength
10 lose there, for at present the governor of that
State was Democrat. IF the insinuations, con-
clusions and statements of the address should be
believed by his constituents, It would PROSTATE
him [Mr. GREY] forever in the opinion OF his
constituents. If the Democrats upon the stump
should take this address and show that the repre-
sentatives Of Kentucky, elected as Wings, and IN
favor of the compromise measures, now occupied
the position attributed to them by his colleague,
they could thereby defeat the Wing party of his
State.
Mr. G. then vindicated the action Of the Wing
caucus, and declared himself strongly in favor of
the compromise measures.
The bill before the committee was then laid
aside to be reported to the House with the recon-
mendation that it pass.
The committee then proceeded to reconsider
the bill for the construction Of military roads in
Oregon territory.
Mr. FLOYD rose to address the committee on
the general subject of slavery, and was proceed
ing with his remarks when
Mr.. CLINGMAN called him to order upon
the ground that his remarks were irrelevant to
the subject under consideration.
The Chair sustained the point.
Mr.. CARTIER appealed from the decision.
Mr.. FLOYD hoped he would be permitted to
enjoy the same privilege as the gentleman who
had preceded him, MIR. Carr
Mr.. POLK expressed the same hope

COMPANY THROUGH PASSAGE TO

THE public will be gratifed to learn that the
i United States Mail Steamship Company are en-
abled to announce that their arrangements are now
complete for sending passengers through from
New York to San Francisco and back
In the first attempts of this Company to meet
the wants Of travel to California, by providing
ships on the Pacific, in connection with their
ships from New York to Chagres, they were pre-
vailed upon, at the urgent solicitation of the great
number then desrous to go out, to sell tickets for
through passages from Panama in advance, for
their ships then going round This was done
from desire to accommodate those who could
procure passages in no other quarter, and by
which, whatever might be the detention, they
would reach San Francisco sooner than by any
other line. Unforeseen difficulties and the preva-
ence of fever at Rio de Janeiro at the time, pre-
vented their ships from reaching Panama as soon
as anticipated, and caused detention at the 18TH
mus, which was increased by the Impotence of
passengers in going forward, against the advice
of the Company, at an earlier day than the ship
could possibly reach Panama.
These Interruptions now all removed
Three of the four ships Of the Company, intended
for the Pacific service, have arrived at Panama,
and several of them have performed trips to San
Francisco and back. So that the Company are
now able to give the public the assurance that the
voyage through from New York to San Fran
cisco, will be performed with regularity and des-
patch.
Their Pacific Line, from Panama to San Fran
cisco, consists Of the
