THURSDAY, May %.
SENATE.-Mr. Gillette, the recently elected
U. S. Senator from Connecticut, was duly
qualified and took his seat. The Committee
on Foreign Relations reported a resolution
manifesting the sense of Congress relative to
the relief afforded to the surveying party Of
Lieut.. Strain by the officers and crew of the
British steamer Virago, and voting gold
medal to each of the officers, and 500 to
each of the men engaged in atfording relief
adopted. The Senate then resumed the con-
sideration of the Nebraska bill as it came
from the House. Mr.. Bell rebuked Mr..
Toombs for the harsh and personal remarks he
made yesterday. After a long discussion, Mr..
Clayton's amendment, depriving aliens of the
right to vote, was rejected by vote of Al
pavs to yeas. The bill was ordered to
third reading by vote of So to Is, and at one
o'clock, the bill, as received from the House,
was passed, the Senate refusing to call the
yeas and nays. The Senate then adjourned
until Monday.
HoUsE.-Mr. Dunbar presented the resolu-
tons of the Louisiana Legislature, relative to
the Authorization of Cuba. The House then
went into Committee of the Whole, and, on
motion, the Pacific Railroad bill was set aside.
The consideration of the Deficiency bill was
then resumed, and various amendments dis
cussed. The Senate amendment relative to
the printers to Congress, was rejected.

The Voice Of the Press.

WHAT is TO BE DoNE.-The National Era,
in view of the immediate passage of the Ne
braska, bill uses the following language in its
issue of the 23d:
Suppose, on the contrary, the eighty mem
bers from the free States, Democratic, Wing,
Independent Democrat, opponents of the Bill,
overpowered by the alliance of Slavery with
Executive Patronage, and Northern Seryility,
should unite in an Address to the People Of
the United States, showing the Bill in its true
colors, exposing its real nature and Interior
purposes, laying bare the extraordinary and
corrupt means resorted to to secure its passage,
fastening responsibility upon the prominent
actors, and calling upon the People to disre-
gard obsolete issues, old pref udices, mere par
ty names, and rally as one man for the re-es-
Enlistment Of Liberty and overthrow of the
Slave Power-what would be the effects Agi-
tation, instead of subsiding, would increase
Northern Sentiment. instead of being prepar-
ed for acquiescence in the rest of the series of
aggressive measure projected by Shareholders,
would be aroused and organized to resistance;
at the ballot box would the faithful men who
have battled for the rights of the free States
hear the voice, "Well done, good and faithful
servants" while retributive vengeance would
fall upon the heads of the men who have be-
trayed them.
Never mind your Parties, gentlemen. "Let
the dead bury their dead Speak to your
constituents boldly; if your voice should dis
organize old parties, disenthral the manhood
of the North and West, and give birth to
new creation, glowing with the light and life
and holy faith of Freedom, and an memorable
purpose to establish its supremacy, now and
forever, your address would take its place in
American History beside the Declaration of In

CALIFORNIA GAMBLING. - The MaysriHe
Herald says that recently gambler abscond-
ed from that place, leaving behind him rou-
lette wheel, which, on being taken apart, was
found to be so constructed, that by touching
spring, the bottom of every box painted red
would be made to RISE presenting a smooth
surface, and leaving the ball no alternative but
to drop into the black. Should the heaviest
betting be upon the black, the screw might be
pressed little harder, whereupon the bottoms
Of all the black boxes would come up, and
the ball must go into the red. Moving with
the smoothness of clock work, the machinery
would never fail. With it a child might play
against the world, and win every game. Doubt
less many young man who has gone out from
our eastern States to the land of promise,
buoyant with health and energy, and has
there earned by the sweat of his brow, an
amount sufficient to render him independent
for life, has, in moment of excitement or
forgetfulness, been induced to stake his hard
earned gains at the table of gambler, per-
haps on such an instrument as this, and has
thus been robbed, not only of his wealth, but
of his hope, his energy, and of his self-re-
spect.

The DEED is DoNE.-The inquiry is finally
consummated; the Nebraska bill as it went
from the House, was passed on its final reading
in the Senate, Thursday at midnight, fitting
hour for such deed of darkness. The de-
bate which preceded its passage, was an angry
and exciting one on the part of some of the
Senators, particularly Pratt, Bell. and Toombs.
Summer, Chase, Wade, and Seward spoke
manfully against the bill, but reason and ar
gument were of no avail. Slavery required
the deed and it was done. If it shall have the
effect to arouse the people of the Free States
to sense of their wrongs, and of the utter
perversion of the government; if it shall bring
them to determination that these wrongs
shall be righted, or the government itself dis
solved, then will good come of that which
was intended for evil. We think there are
strong indications that it scM have this effect,
and we believe that the impression is fast
gaining ground among all classes Of peoples
that dissolution Of the Union is vastly pre-
ferable to continued subseryency to the behests
OF slavery. We give to-day. some extracts,
showing the spirit of the press on the subject,
and shall give more hereafter.
