The reports we're made a special order
for Monday of this week, and to c%ontinne
from dag to day till finally disposed Of l
cannot aow give you an idea of their final
disposition. Great efforts are being made
to pass some of the measures. although the
extreme southern men will not vote foi
them. c. NJ. Clay, the fearless Kentucky
Republican, is here, urging the admission
of New Mexico. and perhaps the adoption
of some other of the recommendations o.
the committee. l am surprised at this
1 am, at this writing. inclined to the Opin
ion that no vote will be taken upon thu
propositions in the House. Mr.. Corwir
opened the discussion in a spout Of ont
hour, and said many good things. and ma
nv foolish and absurd things. The trutl
is, that Mr.. Corwin at heart is not mucl
opposed to slavery. The following remark
able passage Occurs 10 his report:
Publications ~emanatiDg from the news

laws Of the several States"
Nr. Corwin elaborated upon this in hi
speech, and announced positions more suit
cd 10 he Empire Of France. than to tn.
Republic of the United States. Mr.. Mill
son, Of Va, followed in an able speech, ia
king The ground boldly, that there was n,
just cause for the course pursued by tn,
cotton States Mr.. Clemens, who repre-
sents the 10th congressional district. Va.
which includes Wheeling. made an eloquen
bold and patriotic speech, %denOuncing Sc
cession as treason and revolution. From
his standpoint it is the best speech, thu
far, of the session.
Mr.. Bingham, of Ohio, has made a goo,
anti-compromisc speech. Ethridge, of Ten
ncsscc, made 4 glorious Union speech; boil
his and Mr.. Clemens speech were gall aDt
wormwood to the disunionists in the Hous,
those left, for they are fast leaving-th.
Representatives Of South Carolina. Flori
da, Alabama, Mississippi and Georgia hav,
left. If a few more should leave, the Hous
would be more quist and full as respocta
bic.
Mr.. LOvejOy spoke yesterday, and man.
suspect and infer that he too. is Opposes
to compromise. Messrs. Stanton and Sher
man, of Ohio, made able speeches, wher
the army bill was under consideration il
Committee of the Whole, but advocates
some compromise.
The Senate has passed the bill for til
admission of Kansas, with an amendment
which l presume the House will adopt
States attempting to 60 out, and State
coming into the Union. So We 90. ].
