Monday last brought before tie people of this
country two items of peaceful promise, indicating \
return to better feeling and more satisfactory under
standing of existing relations On that day the North
America arrived at Quebac with four DAYS later
o"u ~" most important portion of her news
being, of o. ~. -oforanco n tho action
=. the British Government in relation TO the dIsmls
sal of Mr.. Cramptop and the Consus. Mr.. Dallas
will not be sent back in retaliation Tor the dismissal
of CHAMPION and there is every prospect of peace
full solution of the existing difficulties between the
two countries We agree fully with that able and
impartial neutral paper the Baltimore Sun, that there
is not doubt with us that the British government
has, from the beginning, been fully sensible OF lis
error and of the justice and moderation OF the de-
msnd made by the United States. And nothing but
the firmness Of Mr.. Pierce and his administration
would have exacted this virtual mission of the
original error on the part of England.
This more favourable of our foreign relations,
if fully sustained by subsequent advces must exert
beneficial influence in restoring confidence IN COM
merciaI circles on both sides of the Atlantic, tor capt.
tai is exceedingly sensitive, and will not venture free
" abroad while there any threatening war clouds
| above the horizon The next advices from England
going more fully into The debates and explanations
in regard to this matter, will be eagerly looked for
On the same day, Monday, the ultra abolitonlsts
received check,-it can hardly be called defeat
in the House of Representatives, On the evening OF
that dav the bill for the admission of Kanzas as
State on The Topeka" or Reeder and Lane reVoiu-
tionary Free Soil Constitution was forced to vote
under the operation of the previous question: when
cut off all dabate. 1t is rejected by vote OF lO'
AGAINST to 100 for it, which may be regarded as close
shaving There was really no sort of chance oil this
bill going into effect law, since, even IN the
event of its passing the House, its rejection ny the
Senate wonld Rave been certain; and even suPpoSng
what &c not sunposabIe-that it should pass the
Seuate it. could not pass the President. 1t is there
fore mainly as rebuff to the spirit of injustice and
AGGRESSION manifested by the movement that we re-
oce in this vote and it is in this that it is
valuable
Bv the way we notice that in the progress of the BILL
pending motion TO commit the bill to the Committee
of the WHOLE Mr.. Stephens of Georgia, moved to
amend the motion to commit by adding actions,
and Mr. Duup of Indiana, moved TO amend the mo-
ton of Mr. Stephens to commit the bill with instruc-
TONS by adding an additional section to restore the
Missouri Compromise. Mr.. Dunn's motion was
agreed to by vote OF 100 ayes to 1O2 nays.
Among those who voted for MIR. Dunns motion we
find the names of the so called National" Know
Nothings at the North, including Jacob Broom that
remarkably fine man and model of nationality from
Pennsylvania Bennett of New York, Haven of New
York, Mr.. Fimores representative and right hand
man.
FINALLY motion to commit the bill with the
amended instructions failed.
