House Of Representatives. Feb. 3, 1854.
The Speaker laid before tho House several
communications from the Executive Depart.
ments, which were scverally read, referred,
and ordered TO be printed.
MIR. Dean, who yesterday latter our report
had closed by consent, presented certain reso
lutions Of the Legislature Of New York, in re-
gard to tho better protection Of emigrants ar
irving at our ports, and which were referred
to the Committee on Commerce, to-day moved
a reconsideration &C the vote on the refer.
ence, in order that il might be referred TO
another committee. This motion lies over, un-
der the rules.
On motion Of Mr.. Egerton, the House re-
solved itself into Committee Of the Whole on
tho Private Calendar, (Mr. Hubbard in tho
chair,) and proceeded to the consideration Of
bills heretofore reported fayorably upon by the
several committees.
At 40 minutes past o'clock, the business OF
the Committee was arrested, in consequence OF
there not being quorum present and call
Of the House was ordered. While the call was
being made, many members entered the hall
and resumed their seats.
AT the completion Of the call, the Committee
rose and reported TO the House the fact Of the
call, and that quorum was then present;
whereupon the House again resolved itself into
Committee and resumed tho Private Calendar,
when our report closed.

The Nehrnskn RilI.

The editor of the Oregon Statesman,
who has been spending the spring and
summer in Washington City and other
eastern cities, in letter to the acting edi-
tor of the Statesman dated New York,
May 18th, aud published in that paper Of
July 4th, in speaking of the fierce warfare
then going on in Congress by the opponents
Of the Nebraska bill, holds the following
discourse .....
Nothing Of unusual interest has trans
pired since my last stexcept the action (rath,
er the Obstruction Of action) Of the House
upon the Nebraska bill. Mr. Richardson,
Of ILL.,, on Thursday, offered resolution
providing for the conclusion Of debate upon
the question and the taking the final vote.
The whig and abolition opponents immedi-
ately resorted 10 parliamentary tactics to
stave of action, and by constant calling Of
the yeas and nays (which requires about
half an hour each time) upon motions to
adjourn, and other trivial motions, prolong-
ed the sitting through that day and night,
through the next day, and until o'clock
Of the morning after. For more than 80
hours at one sitting the friends Of the bill
remained at their posts, answering " nay"
to the motions Of faction and factionism,
and, worn out, were then compelled TO
yield to an adjournment, without coming
to q vote t..
a. The House met yesterday, but adjourn
ed without attempting to do anything
They meet again tomorrow, and strong
hopes are entertained that the bill will then
be passed. r. ....-,
" There is conceded and tried majori-
ty in favor Of the bill, of no less than twen-
ty in the House, and it can only be defer
red or defeated by those extraordinary
means. But | trust it will not long be
successful, and that the mail which takes
this will also convey you the news of the
triumph Of popular sovereignty in the ter
rltories in the passage of the Nebraska
bill. ....'.. .'
The wooley heads and abolitionists, with
many Of the " softs" here, are greatly agi-
tated, and have labOred hard to manufac-
ture fierce excitement upon tho subject,
but have failed entirely in communicating
the Indignation which RACES in their own
bosOms, to the sober thinking people
Greelys Tribune is perfectly frantie-calls
upon Col. Benton (who opposes the billy
to do something desperate; counsels resist
ance at all hazards, even to the burning
of the Capitol, and the burying of the
members beneath its ruins" The agita-
tors called an indignation meeting in the
Park, yesterday, to demonstrate against
the " Nebraska Iniquity, p and fancied they
were going to make formidable demon
stration in point Of numbers. But it was
a most complete fzzle. Great pains had
been taken to advertise the cali, yet not
more than 1000 people were at any time
on the ground in a city containing six hun
dred Thousands, Every effort to get up
cheer in response ~ 'he rawlings of their

again for years to come-it will be readily
perceived that facilities for making the i'm
provement referred to are in waiting at o
very incousiderable expense.
Whenever government may feel disposed
TO provide the people of this territory with
direct mail communication with San Fran
cisco, 10y an ocean steamer, it will be ne
cessary that suitable wharfs be constructed
at proper places at which to lay alongside
in safety. as well as for the accommodation
Of other steamers which at no distant day
are destined to plow the waters of the
Sound.
With plank road approach TO our wa
ter front extension, which is now coutem-
plated, and when the rapid growth of
Olympia within the last year is duly con-
sidered-surrounded as it is by such favora-
bic auspices, aud SO almirably located at the
head of navigation on the Sound, We are
led to conclude that no town site with
in our Territb tbry possesses to a greater
extent tlHlelcments which are necess-
airy to theformation of large emporium,
and certainly none possessed Of more lib
eral or enterprizing population.
We trust that Mr. GIDDrNGs will meet
every success and substantial encourage
ment, in the commendable enterprise be-
fore hin. .... .....

The seat of Government Of this Terfftc-
ry is located at Fort Leavenworth.
The abolitionists tell us this bill extends
slavery. But the bill itself says it is not
the intent and meaning of this act TO leg
islate slavery into any Territory or State ?
Which is right p-the abolitionists or the
bill itself! The abolitionsts tell us it is
the Intention Of the bill to legislate slavery
into the Territory, and the bill says it is
nOtP Which would the courts decide to
be right f---the abOlitionists or the bill p
Do you think the courts would decide that
the bill legislates slavery into the Terrific
ries when the bill itself says expressly that
it doesn't do any such thing If SO, you
must suppose the courts to be as great
asses as the abolitionists 2 77 4 ~
Then again, the hill says it leaves the
people perfectly free to form and regulate
their own institutions In their own way =
The wings and aboIitiunistS say it doesn't
do cay such thing Which will you be-
lieve--the wings and abolitionists, or the
bill itself? The bill says it leaves the
people perfectly free to prohibit sLarery, and
the wings and abohtionists declare that it
doesn't dUany such thing How is this
to be decidedY viii you let the bill itself
decide it--or do you believe the abolition
lists We give you the extract from the
bilk-and we give you in it all that the-bill
says upon the subject--leaVmg you per-
