TO amend, by fixing the eastern terminus at
the most eligible spot on the western boundary
OF Missouri, and to make it more acceptable,
have three branch roads, viz: One eastward,
one southwark to New Orleans, and one north
TO SlouX City, connecting with the northern
cities, all connecting with the trunk in about a

vide the route into three divisions, and to
withhold appropriations for the aid of the
eastern and western, till the middle is COM

Mr.. Houston of Texas spoke in favor of the
Ell Paso route, and asked, why rule out the
South? During the twelve or fourteen years
he had sat there, the manifestations of sectional
Jealousy had caused him deep and unspeakable
regret. lie had never heard that chord struck
without pain. When he first heard the cry of
disunion, he thought it treason, and the indi-
vidual who uttered it should be cruciiied. 1t
is cant phrase, tending to intiame the popular
passions as regards the negroes. What better
use can be made of them We did not bring
them here, and did not engage in the slave
trade until recently and said he 81 brand

Mr.. Dooljttle asked Mr. Ivorson If bo c,pld
name any prominent man of tha Rennblican
party WHO PROPOSES to put down slavery bf-
the action of the Federal Government.
Mr.. Nerson repled-" That was a fraud and
a pretence." He referred to the Rochester

settled design of the North to break down
slavery in the South
Mr.. Houston was to reply, but Mr. Polk OBJ
tanned the floor, and moved to adjourn, which

bill to the Naval Committee.
Mr.. Sherman replied that the bill appropri-
ates over S2.000000 for the Navy Yards, and
over S3.000.000 for the repairs of vessels. He
was prepared to show that too much money
was expended in old hull1s. not worth one-haIf
the cost Of the repairs. Three-1ourths Of the
sum named might be saved to the gov
ernment.
Mr.. Grow of Pennsylvania, advocated the
pending motion, as its object was to bring
legislation to the proper basis. The rules
should be changed so as to refer the reports
for the navy, army, ect, to the appropriate
