Moknav Dec. 22.
The bill for the admission of Texas was
reported from the Judi:-.iary Committee,
as it passed the House.
Mr. \Vebster, though his words might
be wasted, would not consent to the pass-
age of the Bill without a remonstrance
against some ofhis obnoxious provisions.
and especially against those which perpet-
uated the institution of slavery. The con-
stitution of Texas perpetuated the institu-
tion of slavery in a manner more obnox-
ious and peculiar than the constitution of
any of the-. states of the Union (we may
thank the Abolitionists for this) and he
could not, after what his state had done
upon the subject, consent to the passage
of such a bill in silence.
Mr. VVebster’s speech, though briefand
mild, was a firm and fair exposition ofthe
opinions generally held by the Whigs in
the north as to the enlargement of the ter-
ritory, and the grant of special privileges
to the Slave States.
Mr. Niles of Ct. dared not vote for such
Bill or Joint Resolution without some
word of excuse after the condemnation he
had received directly from his Legislature
His speech, however, his constituents will
pronounce a poor defence, and his vote
an additional insult to the public opinion
in his State. Mr. Huntington of Ct.statcd
his objections to the bill briefly, and his
remarks show much tnore respect for pub-
lic opinion than those of his colleague.
No obstructions were thrown in the way
of the passage’ of the Bill, and between
two and three P. M. it-was passed by the
following vote: Ayes 31——Noes 13.

Texas having thus been annexed to the
lsatis-faction of the dominant party, l\'Ir.
Levy, Florida, followed with a resolution
‘declaring that it was expedient for the
President of the United States to open ne-
gociatioosfor t7te,cessz'on of the Island of
Cuba to the United Slates. This resolution
lies over for one day.
Mr. Benton moved an inquiry from the
Militia Committee as to the raising of a
Company of Suppers and Miners, and Mr.
Ashly reported a bill for the extension of
the laws of the ‘United States over Texas.
An Executive Session ended the business
of the day.
Q:
The morning businesswas of no impor-
tance beyond the presentation of a large
number of remonstrances, against the an
nexation of Texas.
The house proceeded to the election of
Chaplain.
Mr. Milburn having. received on‘ the
third ballot a majority of all the votes, was
declared duly elected. Mr. M. is a blind
preacher and came. here from the VVest.
The Secrerary of the Senate, after the
election of Chaplain, announscd the pas-
sage of the l'exas Resolutions by the Sen-
ate. One or two members in the majori-
ty were disposed to make a noisy shout
over this result, but the Speaker called to
order.
Tutzsotr, Dec. 23d.
- Both Houses of Congress having adjourned
over till Saturday next, many ofthe members
have left town lhr a trip home or for pleasure.
I uuderstind the Cabinet have had a long
meeting to-day. What may have been the
question under consideration I know not. One
thing I know, pretty certainly, that the Admin-
istration is astonished to find itself taken at its
word. 'l‘he ‘rank and tile’ do not seem to un-
derstand thcir‘l'uglcman.’ The Pollt’s Adminis-
tration only meant to blustcra little. Nobody
éxpected war less than the Adminislration.--
Whether they have played the game too deep,
or not, I will not undertake to determine. The
loco-fcco party had better not commit themselves
too r“ashl_v; for it is inconvenient. sometimes, to
turn corners too rapidly.
I have no doubt myself that the dilliculties
about Orvgun will be c mpromisctl on the 49th
parallel of north latitude. Let the lovers of
leaves and fishes beware. They must wheel
into line. The Polk administration do octan-
ticipate war. They only want to brag a little.
If England takes the 49th parallel it will be
granted by the loco-foco party. _
I understand that Judge Woodward of Penn-
sylvania, was to-day nominated for the vacant
seat on the bench of the United States. Judge
Woodward was the loco-foco caucus candidate
for U. S. Senator, in price of Mr. Bz‘u:l|anan.
Contrary to expectation, I understand that the
C_ommittce'on Elections have determined to re-
port in favor ofthe sitting member from Flori-
do. From the fact that the Chairman of the
Committee is in favor of,qiving the seat to Mr.
Brockenbrough, (leco,) I ihouglit that Mr. Ca-
bell (whig) would be ousted. The Committc€‘,I
understand, have resolved by a vote of tire to
four, to report in favor of Mr. Calell. These are
three whigs and two locos. If they remain firm
to their decision Mr. Cabcll will retain his seat,
though a strong effort will be made to influence
the committee to reconsider, or failing in that, a
still more desperate effort will be made to have
the House vote against the commulre.
I presume that a special messenger has been
or will be immediutc-ly sent to Texas, with the
.IOlDlRL‘SUll1ll0llS, signed by the President, for
her admission into the Union. '
SATURDAY Dec. '27.
—The Senate met and Mr. Sevier, in the
absence of the President, Mr. Dallas, took
the chair._ The Senate received a few pc-
titions, and after some unimportant busi-
ness went into Executive Session, where
they remained a few minutes and then ad-
journed. A

one gentleman mentioned in dilferent por-

plans for the body of the Democracy to
carry into execution. They select the
candidates for State nomination, and carve
out the offices to which the different aspi-
rants are entitled. They then carry the
plan into the convention, to make a show
of fairness, and the nzas-sea’ have nothing to
do, but accept the wor. of the regency,

The nomination was after the Baltimore

so a small one was taken. But this is the

cdthccs devoted to the worship of Almighty
God, and beautiful and princely dwellings, have
gone up with a rapidity and energy, that speaks
‘-NJ!-'ll>l_\'. for the prcspt-riiy and thrift of our vil-
lage and its citizens.
Durii.g this time, Death has been busy at
work, and many of our friends, with prospects of
long life and a briliant career of honor and use-
lUlW-‘SS. have bet-tn summoned away from earth
to untried scenes, stamping with the indelible
impression of a common fate, upon all things of
a suhlunary nature.
in the political world, during the time we
have been speaking of, great events have taken
place. Men high in honors and renown have
paid the great debt of nature; political revul-
sious have succeeded, and instead of a settled
course of national policy, all is uncertainty and
dcubt. 'l'he amicable relations of the country
it is feared may be distured, involving the two
greatest maritime nations of the world in a dis-
asfrous and blootfy war. '
But notwithstanding this present political
darkness, \Vhig principles are a beacon light—-
ihey are conservative in their clr:1racle.r,.:md we.
have an abiding confidence that they will event-
ually be l'( sorted to for the preservation of our
frce institutions and all that is dear to frcemen.
In conclusion, we sincerely thank our friends
for the confdcnce and support which they have
so generally alfordt-d us, and hope by strict and
assiduous attention to business to realize its con-
iiuuance.
Our sterling cotemporary oftlze New Haven
Palladium in allusion to the coming Convention
says: “We hear that several candidates will be
presented to the Convention, by their more im-
mediate nei_<_.:hbo/rs,” and delicately throws out
the following word of well-timed caution:
“It is not right, nor just to the cause, that
tlclegalss r.-hou'u.l permit their feelings to be
vcarmly enlisted in adv:u2ce in favor of any can-

«.i1ice——atiotlic-r will not unless by universal de-
sire, and pet haps not then, and another probably
would refuse under any circumstat:ccs—and yet
they are all spoken of frcqueittly and earnestly
as candidates. The object should be to select
the best and mast available man under all cir-
cumstances. County lines, and personal p efer-
ences, although they will always have an influ-
ence, should always be a secondary considera-
:io.". To have onr.»’s feclir.gs strongly committed
in advance ofihc Convention, for any person, is
doin_r_r injustice to those tleleaates who come
tozezler to di-lihrrate and pursue the course
which is ll)t‘:ll'_'l)l’l):«':~l for lllt‘ cause.
“We anticipate acordial and vigorous sup-
port for the persons nominated, and the more

more and more sound in her politics. With an
acceptable ticket from the coming Whig C00-
vention, she will show herself as true as ever 10
