Mexico, by the Pennsylvania volunteers, and who is opposed almost universally by the returned soldlers.. That Col.

We theiefore hasten, at the earliest moment, to lay before our Mader. the remarks of Ma Crarms, who, as Cluerman, presented the report of the Committee to that body. On Tuesday bust. the lthh mat, Mr. Clayton, front the Select Committee on the Territories of Oregon, California and New Mexico, reAtted a bill for the organization of territorial governments In' each of them. (It appears to be a very long bill. containing no tele than thirty-seven sections. Mr:Clayton said the subjects referred to this committee were of infinite difficulty. The Terri. tortes for which temporary civil governments were to be organized, embramd on area of 1,044,39'2 moue miles—about as large us that of one third or all Europe, and capable of smnalning, sooner or Inter, the population of a mighty empire. The in trinsic difficulties necessarily belonging to such on organization, were Increased by the nature and character of the population now existing there, as well as of that hereafter to be introduced by the eztension of the constitution and laws of the Uni ted Stetei over so vast a country. The committee bad entered upon the discharge of their duties, under these embarrassment., with untiring industry, with a zealous resolution, and an indefatigable spirit, which he had never known sur passed. He felt it doe, in Justice, to each and ev cry one of his colleagues, to say, that amidst all their long conferences and labonous discussions on the various topics necessarily considered by them, the most conciliatory spirit had been evinced by them, each endeavoring to main tain the honor and interests not merely of his own section of country, Ina that of the whole nation, and each endeavoring to yield so much as he felt could be properly and honorably conceded with. out the sacrifice of what was essentially doe to his own constituents and the people of all the States. The conferences of the conmuttee were in this spirit—attended with free and ample discussion; and after a full interchange of views, a vote WWI taken on a proposition moved by the Senator from Nils...on, [Mr. Atchison] that the spirit of the Missouri Compromise 'be adopted to govern the sediment of all thefterritories of the U. States."— On this question the committee divided—five tfr, and three against the motion. The senator from Indiana [Mr. Bright] then moved.the proposition, notice of which bad been previously given in the Senate, containing the worth of the Missouri Com promise As the condition of the territory was now said to be different from that to which that compromise applied in I'l'2o, a'rnotion was made by the senator from Kentucky [Mr. Underwood] to amend that proposition by providing that "all the territory in New Mexico and California south of the parallel of 35 deg. 20 min. shall be placed on the same footing in all respects as to slavery, that existed in Louisiana while it was a territory." On this question the committee divided—four for the motion and four against it. After the luilure of this motion, the question was taken on the propos. non of the Senator from Kentucky, and with a like result the Committee being again equally divided. . . At this stage of the proceeding., all compromise appeared to be impossible. But the committee pro ceeded afterwards to consider a proposition to en deavor to adjust the great question—at least eo far as to enable Congress to extend the laws over, and I provide for the admtnistration of justice to the Territoriee—letiving for the present the settlement of it to tie laws of population, or the adaptation of soil. climate, and all circumstances to the various kinds of labor. While it was admitted on all sides that by far the greater portion of the Territories woe properly adapted to free labor, and would necessarily be free soil forever; yet it was also with equal unanimity conceded that there was a portion of it where free labor never could be retro duced, owing to the climate and the peculiar pro ducuons of that portion. It woo thought that if Oregon—which no one imagines can ever be slave. holding—could he organized as the people of that Territory desired, by the temporary adoption of their present laws, interdicting or prohibiting slave 'ylllE - the territorial legislature proposed to be or• ganixed, by a popular vote, under the bill referred ten us, Could enact some law upon the subject, most of the objections which had been urged in-debate to the 12th section would be obviated without any sacrifice of principle by those who urged them, and that after thus disposing of the question so far as relates to Oregon, the Territories of California and New Mexico could be organized in the same bill, by the appointment of a governor, senator, and judges, to compose, according to the old pre e. dents, a temporary legislature for each of these Territoncs, but without the power to legislate on the subject of slavery , thus placing that question beyond the power of the territorial legislature, and resting the right to ouroduce;or prohibit slavery in these two Terriurnai on the constitution, as the same should he expounded by the judges, with a right of appeal to the fithpretne Court of the Unit ed States. It vas thought by this memo Congress would avoid the decision of this distracting ques tion, leaving it to be settled by the silent operation of the constitution itself; and that in easy Con gress should refuse to 'touch the subject, the coun try would he slaveholding only where, by the laws of nature. slave labor was effective, and free labor could not maintain itself On the other hand, in case Congress should berealler choose to adopt the com promise line of ;;Ii (north of which I suppase it is not expected that .lave labor can be introduced) or any other rule of settlement, it will be free to act as to itsewisdom and patriotism shall seem tit. Alter many conflicts of opinion these views thus generally expressed, were otaketanually agreed up on with groat unanimity; all the members of the committee agreed to make the report, and but two of them (one from the north andtbe other from the south) disapproving only of the material features as they understood it. By order of the committee, I Have prepared a bill in accordatuns with these views. It contain. some importaut amendments to the Oregon bill, particularly so far as it corrects the ilfective deacnmion of the boundaries in that bill. - I do not expect, sir ' that this or any other pm. position which the wit of maa can possibly suggest, will prevent equation on this subject; which is now daily spreading through the country, and I fear dividing it into geographical parties. If the Min., soon compromise of 36 deg 30 .min should be ' adopted. the agitators would immediately raise the standard of repeal, add agitate as fiereely as ever. We know that. air. They will agitate atter the pasmge of any bill. But this resolves the Whole question between the north and the tooth into a constitutional and a judicial question. It only asks of men of all seamns to stand by the Coasti.• tutu., and sniffer that to settle the dinrence by its own-tranquil operation. If the constitution settles the question either way, let those who rail at the decision vent their indignation against their ances tors who adopted it. We offer no hill to introduce slavery by Con gressional enactment, Into any free territory. P . , as the South contend., the Constitution gives the right to carry their slaves there, they will la-liptala that right. If, as the North contends, the Comeau tem confers no such right, they will vindicate their claim. And Oregon will he at once organized as a Territory, with power to elect their own legate tore—a power which tho committee think cannot now. with any propriety, be conferred upon the population of the two other Territoriea. I now, sir, have the honor to re pOrt, ea an amend ment and a substitute for the bill referred to the select commthee, • A Bill to establish the Territori al Governments of Oregon, California, and New Mexico.' The committee, with all becoming me. deity, desire to say that they do not view their wneklaa pisafect, but a is the very best which, un der the embarrassing circumstances of their pcmi. non, they have been able to propose. To the Sen ate they appeal for assistance to correct any errors into which they may have lead vetteatly But it is the honed opinion of a lams majority of the committee, that by the passage of thus bill the safety of the Ueloo will be placed beyond the reach. of agitation; and that the question, and the only question which now threatens to endanger it, may be, not immediately, but ultimately, put et Seat for ever. The bill was then read a brat time, and unani. measly ordered to be printed. The National Intelligermer, has the following de serrption of the bill, and some judicious remark. upon its provision : . _ Our readers are apprized thattoae of the most important of those questa°ns which sometimes arise as if to try the strength and durability of our Union, was referred to n Select Committe of eight mem bers In the Senate of the raked States on the I 3th inst. In the formation of this Committee every sectional interest wip„constilted and represented, and each of the political divisions had an equal weight. We may easily suppaim Mat the moat opposite views were presented and defended by the distin. guished Senators who formed this Committee; sad those who were best informed of the inherent diti =hies which stood in the way of an adjustment and favorable report, had bat faint hope that this question could be settled during the present ses sion. And yet many ardent friends of the Union and of that: country, Whig and Democratic, were of opinion that by deferring an adjustment the dif iiculties unending it would increase; greater exa cerbation would ensue; and that geographical parties-would arise, endangering at no distant day that union of free and independent States which can alone ensure peace at home and respect abroad. This Committee, however, ymthrdny reported a bill which we sincerely hope will put this question forever to rest. This bill proposes to establish Governments for the territones of Oregon, Califor nia, and New Mexico, upon such principles of universal justice and oonmitutional right u it is hoped will challenge the approval of every cal m reflecting mind. The bill provides a territorial Government for Oregon—continuing in force the laws which have been passed by the present temporary Government until the Legislature, to 'he created by this act, shall pass other laws in conformity to the wishes and interests of the people whom they will repro' MIL A. it regards New Mexico and Cali6min, it pro vides for each a Government such an that given to the Michigan Territory, but at the nude time ye arend Ikea reTrilefies from priming any laws on the subject of slavery, freedom of religion, or Im pairing the right of the United States to the ludo copied lands. Whatever righted property are to be enjoyed' by pedsoue removing to those Territo ries,.dertiedfrom the Constitution and Laws attic ' United , States, are to be refened to and decided by the Judicial Power of the United States, sub pject to an appeal from the Courts within the Territorial to the Supreme Court of the United States. . .Bence it s apparent that the rights and claims of :the North and the South, on the subject of dewy, are reserved; and, without giviug the MO• ten of the United Sane to a &Aber extension of the tersitory in which Shivery will be recognised the furore character of those States will depend on tbaoharneter,lhe habits, and the mishit of the peci , arbo shall beseaber form the State Constitutinna those - Territories. 'We sincerely trust that this scheive; proceeding as it undoubtedly does, from the most patriotic thus, may pot an end forever to a question, from the agitation of which alone the enemies of oar greataindirisciocia Union derive any hope of suc ceeding in their insane purposes. The Washington Correspondent of the North American, has the following notice of this compro. mine: Wssureurros, July 15, ISt S. • "The Special Committee unexpectedly agreed to a report this morning. They establish a Territorial Government of Inc highest gradedn Oregon, with a prohibition of slavery. In California nod New Mexico Territorial Governments of the tweet grade are established, and a law making power is vested in the Governors, Judges, and Secretaries. They are inhibited from making laws respecting religion, slavery, the primary disposal of the soil, or to tax the property of the United States, or that of non residents more than residents. The Constitution and Lewirof the United States are extended over the territories—thus making the question of slavery, so far as New Mexico and California are concerned, a judicial one, nod taking it out of the cognizance of Congress, unless it should choose to legislate hereafter. Mr. Calhoun and his friends surrendered their obj writ of error and appeal to the Supreme the of the United States, and it is therefore incorporated in the bill. The bill contains thirty seven sections and provides a Governor, Secretary, and three Judges for Oregon; the same kir California, and a Governor, Secretary and two Judges for New Mexico. So far on Chore gleaned opinion, it is in the main favorable to the project. Though re• ported nnanimoualy, there were two diaseanent So tar w we understand the prtneipal prntriaions .1 the compromiu, from the above' deteription, it appears to be, under all the ernumstances, a very safe arrangement, fair to both sides, and calculat , ed to prevent the extension of the evil of slavery. It is a constitutional arrangement leaving the de cision of the question to the and to the peo• ple who settle the territories in dispute. Li is not at all probable, that, under such an arrangement, even should the constitution permit it by a indg• meat of the Supreme Court, that slavery will ex. tend wed of the Rio Grande, as the southern part of California is an extensive desert. Neither is it very probable that it will extend North of Red River, and its head watera,ast of the Rao Grande. This will confine it to about, if not entirely, its present boundaries in Texas. This arrangement will alleviate, and in a great measure destroy, the present threatening excitement on the subject, as it refers the question of shivery extension to the Constitution, under the decision of the Supreme Court; and if, as in contended at the North, the Constitution grants no such power, and the Su preme judges shall so decide, the question will be set at rest for ever. If the decision shall be in favor of the constitutional right to...extend the evil, we have the chance of a favorable decision by the people who settle the territories. and as a last resort, we can resist the admission of any skive states,tbrined out al such territories, into the rnon. We have by this arrangement. all these means of resistance to the evil we deprecate; besides the means of obtaining thb decision of an important constitutional question, and the allaying of excite ment which threatens to rend the I . nion,while we do not see that any principle is sacrificed. We do not suppose that the above, or any ar , ranee:lent, will satisfy those who are madly bent on arraying One section of the Union against t h e other, regardless of consequences; but we are sat Rifted that an immense uiajonty of the people. both North and South, are devoted to the Constitution and Umon, and that they will acquiesce in any ar range...at which appeals to constitutional authon. ty, which does not involve the North in the guilt of slavery, which barters away no principle, and which is not unjust to the slave. If thSs arrangement gives to the North these requisites, which it appears to do, it will be hull ed with plemurre by all exceothose who will be satisfied with nothing short of the dismember. merit of the Union, or their own political aggran disement There to one drawback in the arrange. meat. in the tact that • majority of the Supreme Judges are from Slave States, but even here have we not room to hope that a sense of justice will triumph over local attachmenta. We incline to this view, from the fact, as stated in the Washing , ton correspondence of the North American, that Mr. Calhoun and his (needs resisted the clause in the bill granting a writ of error and appeal to the Supreme ;Court, with a great deal of perticincity, though at law yielding, thus appearing to dread the decision of this great question by that august tribo nal. Neither does thin arrangement remove the dem `through of the question from rho people of the States, through their representatives, as Congress acmes to itrolithe power to legislate hereafter. The per> ple of the free Staten must take care to send to Congress men on whom they can implicitly rely, and thus prevent the extension of the evil they deprecate, whenever it may become necessary to interfere, Perhaps that unto may never arrive , and the country be preserved from the agitatens resulting from legislation concerning it. To our view, this territory coming in as free tal i slavery can never have nn existence moon it, except by some act of legislation. By the ar rangement contemplated, Congress declines to le gislate, and prevents the territorial Legislatures from passing laws on the subject. The territory must then remain free, untitComrreas interposes, or the people form a Coe.ornen, and ash admission into the Union. Should slavabolders, then, take their slaves to this territory, the presumption is, that the Courts would pronounce them free. These are our first though* headed on the lim ited reformation we have before us attic nature and bearings of the proposed arrangement. Being from principle and feeling opposed to slavery, and believing it to be a great moral and social evil, we rejoice at any prospect of circumscribing its henna; and we do not any the less rejoice, because the mode of so doing, is one peaceable and constitu tional, freeing the country from excessive agitation upon the subject, and weakening the influence of those who, regardless of the value of the Union, BM 'tieing to farm seotioual parties open 3 single idea. THE PRESIDENCY, No. 4 To the Editors of the MusintsrgA Ges,arte. Are we, the people of these United States, be lievers that peace is the true policy of our Govern merit, that it is most conducive to our happmess and prosperity, that it enlarges and protects the proceeds of labor, that it harmonizes all the rela tions of life, that it stimulates exertion with a gene rous reward, that it promotes a brotherhood of good feeling in all rank. and coedition• of life. at home and abroad, that it blesses oar social and l i moral condition, that it is a beautiful response to the pure spirit of christinuity, and that altrength • ens every tie that can gave perpetuity loom Union' If we are thus believers, it ts our solemn duty to cherish with sedulous care every man that will promote it, and to avert every measure that can endanger it, consmiept with national honor. The best direction that can be given to this poli cy, may not be always a guarantee of its success. Injuries, inselts and aggressions by foreign powers, may disturb it, but the means that belong to the code of peace, which have often averted the ca. tamales of war, and which nations recognize us safe and salutary, should be urged to their hue ex tremity. If they fail, then we may claim to be on the strong ground of right, and the bnftima rano" then becomes a duty, and would be sustained by the dignity of a righteous cause. lf, on the other hand, we, believing in the extent ofour resources, in the pride of our strength, in the volot of our'arms, in the success of our victories, in a pampered ambition, in the dreams of future glo ry, In the alleremento of conquest, in the utopia of 'manifest destiny," that it is our policy to go on conquenng and to conquer, to teach the old world what the new one can do, and to march with the inscription, "Model Republic," on our banners, let us pause to inquire where would this lead us, how and where it would end If, beginning like MAl tiol.lll Rome, we start with the dash of victory, stim ulated by the cravings of conquest, and the glories of power, add triumph to triumph, and do minion to dominion, until, like the great Roma% conqueror, we lament in tears that there is nothing loft to conquer. What theta After Rome had made herself mistress of the world, her cumbrous and unwieldy dominions were beyond her mammal meta. The elements of discord, dismemberment and downfid, began their work, and that stupendous fabric of lawless ambition crumbled to pieces with rapidity greatly beyond its achievements; and mighty Rome dwindled down to the narrow Inuits that mark her plan upon the map of the World! If, with narrower views and lea. ambition, we start as did Fredenck of Prussia, to give brighter fame to the obscurity of his legal origin, to build up a fame for arms, to subjugate and annex the near. est provinces, to disturb the peace of the world, and to ga t a proud name among minima what.would p r o& try Frederick's ambition warticked by su perior power, and Prussia had to reain, Ninth her small onnquests,.one of the leaser powers of Europa If, with • mare recent sad a mare dazzlingsem. plc, we start with the aim and mutation of Napo- kon, which led him on and through the most sue- i coastal and - brilliant cam as that the world ever witnessed—imbeerdng conquering anima Subjugating nations, and adding power and fame and dominion to Frame, with no apparent limit to the lure of conquest, stretching in its coese, from sunny Spain to frozen Runs" from &gland'. mighty Isle to lodine EMpire.--with all this achievement, did be consummate his scheme?— The battle of Waterloo sealed his doom. France had to return to what France was originally, and Napoleon went a prisoner and died a prnsoner on a desolate Isle of the Ocean' If we stan with another and diderent example. the policy of England, which has been mkression .and aonqueat—successfully named out, until they have reached hemispheres over which the sun never ceases to shine on her dominions. t :rent as we acknowledge her power to be. covering so large o surface of the globe, and so potential in the view of nations—what has this cost her,and has it glad dened and made happy tne almost wauntless mil. lions of her subjects? It has cost her a national debt, that is shaking her with bankruptcy. It de mands a revenue to sustain the dignity of her crown, the expense of her immense standing army, her magnificent navy, and her colonies, that has ground down her subjects to poverty and starvation, and to a degree of wretchedness that is crying out for help. By what tenuresloca Eng land hold these vast possessions and this mighty power' 13y nothing that gives assurance of their duration. Vretchedoeas and despair have driven a portion of her subjects to the commission of treason—the throes of revolution ore shaking the build/Won of her throne. Whether they are to be suppressed, or whether they are to increase to a total overthrow of the government, is the problem now being solved. What do them examples teach us, but the manic gee of war, the instability of power, and the ruin of ambition. History• is full of its teachings and its warring.; and the nations that disregard it, tra vel on with q bold fatuity to inevitable ruin. The application that I make of all that I have here presented, is to our own condition at this time, and its intimate connection with the ap proacing Presidential Election in its consequences. One of the candidates, General Gifts, is deeply, thoroughly imbued with a spirit of war. He has proclaimed it in the most emphatic manner, and has cat vied it out, in Ina bold advocacy of all Mr. Polk's reckless measures to invite war and to make war. In the Senate of the United States, when a member was pleading for peace measures, Goner rat Cass proclaimed in reply, that 'ran PEOPLE XUBT ranrsaa 11.11). 146.11.011 POE wan: It Wan said with no air of one who'could gloat m blood. Be it understood, that General Cass was and is dissatisfied with the settlement of the Oregon boun dary--he claimed to 5..1 deg. tO non., and was tell. hug to fight for it. Ha is strongly hostile in his cherished feelings towards England, and has all the predisposing tendencies to observe a hostile attitude towards her. If he wai willing to risk a war with England at a moment when she never appeared so formidable, how much more ready would he he now, to measure strength with her, when she is shaken by a revolution, and her pow er for war materially diminished. His manifest destiny might induce him to plant oar mars and stripes on England's old domain, and make it a isnony of renown. In connection with this same war spirit. let it not be forgotten, that after the close of the war with Mexico, the troubles of Yucatan were brit to the notice of our Government: and t lon.
