would avail to reach the scat of the dis
ease.
The general conclusion to which the
subscriber has arrived, from a close OBJ
servation Of the action of the committee
is this That no form Of adjustment will
be satisfactory TO the recusant states
which does not incorporate into the con-
sttution Of the United States a recogui-
ton of the obligation to protect and ex-
tend slavery. On this condition, and on
this alone, will they consent to withdraw
their opposition to the recognition Of a
constitutional election Of the Chief Mag
istrate. Viewing the matterin this light,
it seems unadvisable to proceed a step
further in the way Of Offering unaccept-
able propositions. lie can never give
bis consent to the terms demanded.
For this reason it is that, after having
become convinced of this truth, he chan
ged his course and declined to recon-
mend the very measures which he in
good faith had offered 1t certainly can
be Of no use to propose as an adjustment
that which has no prospect of being re-
ceived as such by the other party
Hence he feels it his duty now to record
his dissent from the action of majority
of his colleagues in introducing any
measures whatever for the con sideration
Of the House.

Sualry memorials were presented for
the adoption of Mr.. Crittenden'5 resola-

Mr.. Crittenden's resolutions were
then taken up.
Mr. ClulA Of Now Hampshire offered
an amendment to strike out the pream-
bic and first resolution, and insert one TO
the effect that the provisions of the Con-
stiiu,ion are amply sufficient for the pre-
se7ation Of the Union.
3Ir. Green Of Missouri then took the
aoor. lie argued that the present Con-
stitution was good enough for the whole
Union and upheld the right Of secession.
He declared that the government had
no right to coerce a seeding state.
Tie Pacific Railroad bill was ,hes
taken up, and a motion to indefinitely
postpone it was los.-l2 against 80.
Mr.. Gwinn favored The bill.
Mr.. Lane said it was an Objectionable
bill, and this was not the time to pass il
even it were not. He was in favor Of
Mr.. Crittenden's resolutions as a means
/. to restore beace, rather than this bill.
After some debate, Mr.. Bragg's motion
to amend the first section by adding the
words, " Nor until said acts of incorpo-
ration shall have been approved by Con-
gress Of the United States" was carried
81 against 10.
Mr. Benjamin offered an amendment
prohibiting the company from acting in
the capacity Of bankers to circulate paper

Mr. Bagg offered an amendment to
strike out from the 34th and 35th lines
the words majority Of such guarantees

words shall choose associates to become

Mr.. Wilson said he would oppose any
reference. This is as good time to con-
slider it as any. Nothing had tronspired
50 far as he could see, in any portion of
the country to prevent our being the
Republic Of the United States. He was
for this bill. lie was willing to

The Committee propose to admit New
Mexico into the Union as a State, on
equal footing with the original States.
The committee make the following re-
marks in justification Of the plan pro-
posed:
This Territory was organized in
1850. By its organic law the Terrific
sial Legislature vas authorized to enact
laws aud report them to Congress. It
was provided in The same act thai if
Congress should disapproyo the laws
thus made, they should be null and
void.
In the year 1859 the Territorial Leg
.islalure Of New Mexico established
slavery in the Territory. This law was
anu1l.td at the last session Of Congres,
by vote Of the House, but the Senate
have not yet acted upon the bin. So
the law Of the Territory not having
been annu.l-d by both Houses Of Con-

Mr.. Adams Of Massachusetts submit
ted the following reasons fox his disagree
mont with the action Of the COMMITTEE
The subscriber has laborod earnestly
. in the committee to make himself master
Of tbs ca uses Of .he present discou.euL
So far as they were divulged there, they
may be comprised under three heads .
Ist, The personal liberty laws in some of
the free states; %, Exclusion from the
territories; 81, The apprehension Of
some future danger to the rights Of the
slave states from The adoption Of consti-
tutional amendments interfering with
them Without joining in the belief
that there are very serious grounds for
this uneasiness, the subscriber IS too well
convinced of its existence not to be dis
posed to apply any reasonable remedy to
Quietit. Hewas Therefore, for this reason,
induced to give his concurrence, at first,
in several of the measures reported by
the committee. lie did so under a con-
yic,ion that they contain the only reason
able as well as practicable adjustment Of
the differences unhappiiy existing in the
country without the sacrifice of princi-
pies on either side, that has thus far come
within his observation. And although
not entirely approving Of them in the
abstract, he was ready to give his CO.
operation in adopting them if there was
good reason to suppose that they would
effect the object aimed at. He en-
deavored to act in good faith, and with a
view to the restoration of the kindly re-
lations between the opposite sections Of
the country, which seem to be so radely
threatened. That this spirit has been
fairly reciprocated by portion Of the
Representatives Of the aggrieved States
he takes great pleasure in acknowledging.
Had that portion constituted only a bare
majority Of the whole number, he would
stil have pledged all the limited aid in
his power 70 unite with them. But the
fact is wholly otherwise. While three
States have refused to be represented at
all, seven mOre-making ten out Of fE-
teen-have decided to reject the conclu-
sions arrived at by the committee.
This fact alone would seem to render
all prospect of a general adjustment very

other hand, that hamber Of the repre-
