Washington, August 1, 1S50.
, Senate., '
Mr. Douglrm movod thht Iho Independent
till for Iho admission of California bo i&Vcn
up for tho purpose of making it a special or
dof, which was agreed to Yeas 34, Nays 23.
Mr. Douglas movod that it be rnado tho
spocial ordor for this day, at 12 o'clock, and
every day thereafter until disposed of.
Mr. Atchison moved to amend by striking
But to-day, and subotituto Monday, which
was tojectod-Ycas 24, Nays 30.
In tho courso of some conversation, Mr.
Douglas declared ho had no disposition to
uperscdo Iho Utah bill by tho proposed spe
cial ordor. If H'O motion pending should bo
ngroed lo, tho Utah bill, having been ordered
to be engrossed, would still bo first passed
and sent to tho Ilousu.
Mr. Footo expressed his desire, beforo tho
California bill should bo taken up, that the
Senate should take up that portion of tho late
Omnibus bill relating to Now Mc.vieo mid
Tpxas, and pass it. It was well known that
tho California bill could not pass prior lo tho
territorial bills, and if it could, that snrh ac
tion would bo attended with tho most disas
trous consequences.
Mr. Dodgo, of Iowa, wonted Mr. Footo tn
say why tho California bill could not be
passed.
Mr. Footo replied that it vvouiu io ue
feated in tho lluuso by Parliamentary modes
such as ho had heretofore referred to. Fur
his own part, ho hoped California never
would bo admitted in a separate form bi'iute
Iho territorial bills were passed.
Tho question being taken on Mr. Douglas'
motion, it was agreed to without division.
Mr. Atchison moved that when they ad.
journcd, it bo to meet on Monday.
Mr. Dayton hoped tho Seiutto would dis
poso of this California question beforo it ad
journed, in order to t-eo what was tho r.talo
of feeling, and whether there- was u disposi
tion to go into a general debatu again, or to
voto without talking.
Mr. Atchison, in order to givo the Senator
from New Jersey un opportunity to fool,
withdrew his motion.
Tho Senate then proceeded to the consid
eration of tho California Dill.
Mr. Footo moved to amend by sti iking out
all after tho enacting clause, and inserting
that part of tho Omnibui Dill relating to New
Mexico and Texas.
Mr. Douglass moved to amend the bill by
inserting tho third section of the Omnibus
bill, being tho section relating to tho Public
Domain of California.
Tho question upon tho latter amendment
takes tho preccdeuco of Mr. Footo'a ainend-
mont.
Mr. Footo moved to amend tho amend
ment by inserting tho proposition offered by
him to tho Omnibus Dill, providing that Cali
fornia shall not exercise jurisdiction over tei
ritory south of 35 30. Ho made an appeal to
all tho friends of compromise to sustain the
bill.
Mr. Dawson also mado an appeal in be
half of tho amendment.
Mr. Clay followed. Tho Senate had had
beforo it a measiiro of peace and tranquility,
which would have harmonized all diacoidant
feeling; that measure had met a fate not al
together unexpected, but which, because of
tho country, ho deeply deplored. Tho ma
jority of tho Comniiltoo of Compromise had
performed its duty. Tho bill had been de
feated by extremists. Ho did not mean to
inquire into tho measuro of responsibility of
those whoso action had defeated tho bill.
How it was defeated was known too wull.
Tho proposition mado by tho Senator from
Maryland, (I'earco,) yesterday, was the im
mediate causo of that defeat. It was that
which ensued, although he doubted not tho
Senator had acted conscientiously.
Ho (Clay) had said, from tho first to tho
last, that ho was in favor of tho admission of
California, and ho was so still. Ho would
say, also, that if tho proposition mado this
morning, by Mr. Foole, had been received
iii a proper spiiil, ho wonhl havo voted fur it;
but, under all tho circumstances, ho should
bo compelled to withhold his suppoit from
that proposition. Ho desired nuwy standing
in hid placa, to say, tliat he intended to be
tinawed Uy any menace, either from im!i.
viduals or Slates but, alter all iliat had oc
curred, if any portion of tho people of any
State, or any individual State, should array
its arms against tho authority of the Union,
ho was fur testing tho strength of our Go
vernment, to ascertain whether it was a
practicable Government, ouo which could
maintain itself, applause and if blood was
to bo spilled whoso fault was it 1 It was the
fault of those who raised tho standard of dis
union, and, if such an issuo was made, as
long as ho had a voice and uu arm to raise,
that voico anil arm should be raised in sup
port of tho Union. Applause, checked ly
tho Chair, with a warning that if repeated
tho galleries would bo cleaied.
Ho had been anxious to sou tlieso various
measures passed together having failed in
that, ho hoped they would bo passed separ
ately; but whether passed or not, hu was
for putting down any and every resistance to
tho federal authority. Ho had no idea tliat
blood was to bo spilt, but if so, whoso would
bo tllo responsibility. In conclusion ho de
clared hid ophiiun that tho bouinUirici' it
California uto MiiU.blo and require no ulteia
tion. Mr. l'earco admitted that llu detent ot thj
bill was subsequently lo his piopomtion to
umend, but denied that ho was to bo justly
held responsible for that defeat, ullhuuh ho
. woidd shrink from no responsibility pinpeily
ultaching to him. Ho pioceeded to detend
his course in connection with tho bill. Ho
had told Messrs Dawson and Fuuto that if
Mr. Dawson's amendment prevailed, provid
ing that tho territorial government of Now
Mexico should not go into operation east of
the Kio Grande, he could not voto for Mr.
Bradbury's amendment, to which that pro
vision was nppenclfid. Ho toll llinm that it
would defeat llm bill. Had tho Senators
from Texas givon thnir assent to the piojKisi
lion for. an amendment which ho made yes
. teid.iy the bill would not have been di kali J
They choso to refuse anything which did not
coniolip to thoir demand, nud upon them
rested iho responsibility. He noted is he
believed lo bo his duty. Il was ho and his
collcnguo who represented the Stato of Ma
ryland here, and nobody elso. Ho acted ns
ho conscientiously believed his duty required,
and ho would not shrink from a defence of
his action whenovcr ond by whomsoever it
was assailed.
Mr. Clay Nor will I shrink from present
ing tho facts stated. Thoy present a portion
of the history of tho case. Ho (Mr. Clay)
repeated that tho amendment of tho Senator
from Maryland was tho immediate cause of
tho defeat of tho bill. Tho Senator had
mado no speech against Mr. Dawson's
amendment, when nuiidini?. Throe times
yesterday, ho was approached with amend
moots designed to avoid iho dillieully which
he apprehended, but ho declined lo agree to
anything but his own proposition, and Inn
defeat w"; brought ubotit and through his
motion to strike out.

Washington, Aug. 5, 1800.
Senate. After tho consideration of morn
ing business, tho Senate resumed tho consi
deration of Mr. Cass' resolution in relation to
tho exercise of civil authority by military of
ficers, nxcept nuilei tho net of Congress.
Mr. Davis, of Miss., opposed the resolution
in its present form. It was cither too broad
or tint lirnrul pnniioh. Thn exerciso of Civil
uulhotity by military ofiieers was of absolute
ly necessary although ho was himself up-
posed to the exercise of any such uuthority
not necessary to hold Icriitery acquired in
war for tho uso of tho United States and ac
lion of Congress. Ho replied to tho attacks
mado by Mr. Houston upon General Taylor
and tho troops under his command, with
much warmth, observing that tho Senator
from Texas had showed himself supremely
ignorant of tho discipline of tho camp, and as
suinemcly unjust. Ho considered each of
the points presented by Mr. Houston, disat,
proving every statements ol facts.
In concluding his remaiks, ho paid a most
biillinnt and beautiful tribute to Gcu. Tavlor
hi rall.uitry, homely, modesty, Lindness .
of heart, and invincibility in action. Even
tho enemy, when conquered, ncquiicd lor
hiin that love ami veneration which was : u
generally full by the l..u.',y r .luii.-ij who
shared Iho perils of tho buttle, suul tho
lies of victories. Nor vvia; the c!i:ir,o id s-.'C-tional
feeling upon his part le:-s l.dso than
tho.-e which chnracteii: ud him as n:gaidle.-s
of iho interests of men. lie ( I avi.i) novel
heard a sectional lemaik mado in his pre
sence that did not meet instant reproof from
tho noblo hero, who knew and served his
country only, and his whole country.
Tho further consideration of tho subject
was then postpused until to-morrow.
Mr. l'earce, in pursuance of previous no
tice a.-ked and obtained leave, to introduce a
bill, making pioposalsto Texas for tho settle
ment of her Western and Northern bounda
ries. Mr. l'earco said it was evident that
this question of tho boundary of Texas was
tho cause of much of tho dillieully of tho
past session. It was tho main cause of the
defeat of tho Compromise Dill. It was pur
posed by many, that the conjunction of seve
ral measures was calculated lu unite the
friends of each upon tho w hole. It must bo
admitted, however, thai it was quite us often
tho eleinentd of opposition. Ho must say,
for his owe part, that he thought il far belter
to givo each and every measure a considera
tion upon its own individual merits. Ho had
therefore, presented a bill for the adjustment
of tho boundary of Texas, simply and alone.
Ho explained tho bill staling the bounda
ries proposed tho reasons suggesting their
selection, and defending the proposition to
pay the ten millions of dollars lo Texas, if
sho suricuderud all her tenitory North of
3G, 30 under this bill all her claims to terri
tories between the Nonces ami Die Grande,
llo was among those w hu believed that Texas
had uu light in the teiritoiy on the Kio
Giamle, but she certainly had claim.-, for tho
surrender of which, together with tho cession
of leniluiy Noilh of her pioposcd Northern
boundary, ho pioposcd lo pay hoi ten millions
lo bo applied to the payment of the debt of
Texas, inclined in the piescciition of her
icvohitiou.
Washington, An;:. C.
A message was then received lioni the
President of the United Stales in lelation to
the boundary dillieully between Texas and
New Mexioo.
Tho President alludes lo Governor Dell's
letter to tho Texan ineiubeis of t.'ongiess,
published in the Dulletin of Fiidny, and says
thai that portion of territory east of tho liio
Giande, has been regaidrd as belonging to
New Mexico. Ho thinks the exigency that
has arisen in the utlaiis of Texas and New
Mexico, may require an extia session of
Congress. He alludes to his oliieial position,
and his duty, as President, to culoico ihe
law s of tho United States.
lie says ho will enforce those laws, and
thinks this is a case in which he is author
ised to call the militia into service, as well
as to employ the foiccs of the regular army
and navy. Texas, as a Slate, can employ
military foice to snppiess her own internal
iiisiirioctious ; but her power is local, ami
the bus no uuthority which can coutlict with
the lavii. ut the rights ol iltj United Stales.

lie believes the treaty v. till Mexico, ex
tends the laws of the United Slates over the
tenitoiy oast of the Die Grande. The Ire.tly
does nut determine explicily whal is llic
boundary of Texas, but that is his cpiuioiii
alter careful investigation.
He will continue lo regard said territory
as part of Now Mexico, until Congress settles
tho question to tho contrary.
Ho deprecates nny collision between Iho
parties thomsolves or Willi tho United Status,
but ho must do his duly, and hoes fur an
immediate settlement.

Mexico until that dispute be settled. Ho
doubts the expediency of appointing Com
missioners to rim tho lino. All tho facts ore
ln-foro Congress, and nothing new could bo
elicited by such Commissioners.
He regret tho prolongation of the content
in Congress to ihe ' exclusion of other busi
ness, nnd trusts it will bo disposed of beforo
Congress adjourns.
, Signed, Millard Fillmore.
Tiro accompanying documents were then
read. ,
Mr. Fillmore's letter to Gov. Dell says tho
general government had authorised Col.
Muiiroo to comply with the wishes of Ihe
people of New Mexico nnd to issuo a procla
mation for a Stato Government bv Iho order
of the Secretary of War, dated the 19lh of
lasl Nov., but to tako no part in the proceed
ing except in accordance with the desire of
Ihu people of New Mexico
Col Muiiroo acted in his civil capacity as
ordered above. That proclamation the F.xo
culivo approves. It provides nothing but
what the Constitution and laws of the United
Stales authorise.
' The President approves the course of Pre
sident Polk nnd General Kearney. Ho thinks
the t truly bora them out in their proceedings,
and they will be followed by iho present ad
ministration. Washington, Tuesday, Aug. (. Tho Cal
ifornia bill is expected to pass tho Senate lo
day. It is now said to bo agreed upon that the
Hon. J. P. Kennedy, of Maryland, will be
come Secretary of the Interior, nnd Mr, Con
rad, Secretary of the War Department.

What we have said in relation to Mr

has few if any superiors, but nevertheless.
Ins speech on the Mexican war, which was
as impolitic, as it was unjust, should, in
our opinion have excluded him from a seat

A SCHEME OF DISI MO.
The Washington correspondent of the N.
Y. Courier speaks uf a scliemu of disunion
deliberately planned, and, to a certain ex
tent, actually prosecuted. It is alleged that
an individual of no small influence ut lliu
South repaired to tho city of Mexico in April
last, and submitted to the Mexican authori
ties a formal over a Southern confeitetacy.
C'onleieiice after conference was held, and at
lenylh the Mexican Minister ol Foreign Af
fairs espoused the piopositiou and slreiiuous
advocated it in Cabinet Council. The mea
8ti re was resisted by other member of the
Ministry, and was finally defeated. Thu
llrilish legation, a is said, connived at. if it
did not openly countenance this infamous
treason.
This is the scheme. How far other persons
besides Ihu "individual of no small iiilluetice
at the Soullr' were concerned m it vvo are
lel'l In conjecture, but such oveitures would
not be mado or bo entertained by another
government without mi liliderslaiuliii with
others, and without their sanction and co
operation. If gueh bo the fact, il is time that
the tiaitots vveto brought lo light. 'The stoiy
may havo no foundation, like many other re
ports which como from Washington, and it
may be true, for wo have seen men o dis
tinction and political position compiising Iher
character and the honor of their country in
lending aid to a political expedition against a
nation with whom wo an: at peace, ami vvilh
whom wo have solemnly lalilied tieaties.
