In fJongre**, Yesterdar.
The California Senators being admitted
to their seats, drew Jots to decide their re?
spective terms of office; Mr. Fremont drew
the short term, expiring March 4, 1851, and
Mr. Gwiun the long one, expiring March 4,
1850. Mr. Fremont gave notice of sundry
bills relating to California; and, on his mo?
tion, the Post Office Committee were in?
structed to inquire us to the opening of va?
rious Post Offices and routes in the new
State. The State Constitution of New
Mexico was ordered to be printed. Mr.
Cbaso gave notice of a bill applying the
Wilmot Proviso to the territories. The
Bounty Land bill wag taken up, and Mr.
Walker's amendment for the prevention of
speculation was rejected by tbe SeDate?a
matter of course?by u vote of 15 Ayes to
31 Naye.
The bill to abolish the SJavo Trado in the
Distriot of Columbia was taken up, and sev?
eral amendments from Southern gentlemen
rejected. Mr. Seward then moved to amend
the bill by providing not for tbe ab olition of
the Slave trade but of Slavery itself aud ap"
propriating $200,000 to indemnify the own.
fire, the bill to bo approved by a majority of
tho inhabitants of tbe District at a special
election to be held within six months of its
passage or ehe to be void. This brought
op tho Chivalry. Messrs. Manguin and
Dawson saw in this reasonable'and harm?
less proposition the destruction of tho Union
and tho awful and insatiable ambition of
the Senator from New-York. No decision
Was arrived at before tho adjournment.
In the IIorjSB the morning hour was spent
upon tho charges against Mr. Ewing for

Tho rest of the day was spent in debating

California without coming to a decision.
Cr???-Firing.
The Whig Executive Committee of our
City saw fit to order a saluto of one hun?
dred guns in honor of the passage of tho
California and Territorial bills, and they
Wore duly fired yesterday. Wo cannot con?
sider tho conoeplion a wiee or happy one.
If, as the Committee assort, tho measures
in question were truly National in their
charaoter, a compromise, a peace-offering,
and an evidenco of the patriotism of our
Toople of all sections and parties, then sure?
ly Party should have had nothing to do
with tho public manifestations elicited there?
by. Who ever hoard of fl Party celebra?
tion of tho triumph of any former Compro?
mise? And as 'the Democracy's' Exec?
utive Committee exult in the lato ovents at
Washington at h ast as heartily as their of?
ficial antagonists-, and with certainly no loss
reason, wo cannot see why Tammany Ilali
should not have beon drawn upon for at
least half the powder.
?The fact is?and it may as well bo sta.
ted?the eannou-firing on the Battery yes?
terday, was not in any proper sense a party
not, but rather that of a section of tho Whig
party, who fancied that they had triumphed
in the passage of the Territorial bills?that
the roar of cannon would widely proclaim
their political orthodoxy, and tho fumes of
?powder asoend fragrantly to the Presidential
nostrils. Had tho Whigs of this city been
asked for the wherewithal to fire one thou?
sand guns in honor simply of the Admis?
sion of Free California into the circle of
our Federal Union, they would have given it
Kith joy; but bellowing enthusiasm over
the passage of those Territorial bills, those
Ten Millions to Texas, and that orooked,
ungainly and unjust Boundary between j
Slavedom and Free Soil, is just what a great j
proportion of our Whigs prefer to wait
awhile before uniting in.
?In opposition to this cannonade, we de?
sire to call attention to some rather ebarp
snuek et-practice which has just taken place
in Mains, which is not exactly of the same
jknor as the firing from the Battery:
Maine is what the cant of parly terms a
fitronglj 'Democratic' St&Xe, and has just
elected a Governor, Senate and] House of
Shat stamp, without a serieus contest. But
Kith regard to Members of Congress thera
has been a spirited struggle; and though
the precise result is not known at the time
Of our writing, the general features of that
resultare palpable enough. Jusfclook:
In the L>t (York) District, usually Loco
Toco by nearly 2,000?the oaudidate ofthat
party is barely eleoted to Congress; he even
may be defeated ! And why f Mainly bo
oau&e McDonald repudiate*? and Nathan
Dan Appleton supports tha prohibition of j
Slavery in the Territories.
Id tbe lid (Cumberland) District John
Appleton (Loco) is barely elected over Wm.
Pitt FeeseDden, Whig and Free Soil. Strike
the Free Soil question oat of the canvass,
and Appleton'a majority wou!d have been
over 1.000. In the Vlth (Bingor) Dis?
trict, IlastiDgs Strickland, (an:i-Proviao)
was Dominated by the 'D mocracy' in pi ice
of Charles Stetson, a supporter of the Pro?
viso. Tbe result is?although the Distr'u:
is strongly anti-Whig?that Israel Wash
burn, Jr. (Whig) is elected, he being a well
known champion of Free Soil. Mr. Strick?
land has not polled tw.>thirds of his party's
vote; in some towps, two-thirds of ' tha
Democracy' have thrown away theft- votes
on Stetson in order to defeat Strickland, and
elect a Proviso man. Throw out the Free
Soil question, and Strickland would have
had 1,000 majority.
The Tilth (extreme Eastern) District is
j usually good fur 1,000 to 1,500 Lico-Foco
I majority. There Thomas J. D. Fuller, an
[ anti-Proviso man, was up fir reelection?
the only Member of tbe present Delegation
j renominattd. Tbe Whig candidate against
him is Jaji?3 S, Pike, & stubborn Proviso
man, whoso bitter, saucy anti-dun promise
letters (signed ' J. S. P.') from Washington
last Summer will be remembered by out
readers. We have returns before us from
over half the District, and Pike is ahead.?
The chances are against him, yet he may
be elected, and the run is at alleveafcs close.
But for the votes picked away by a special
Iree Soil candidate, he would almost cer?
tainly be chosen. But for the question of
Slavery Restriction, Fuller would have
walked over tbe course.
? These, we believe, are all the Districts
in the State wherein the question of Slave?
ry Restriction or Compromise was distinctly
made in the Congressional canvass. We
call attention to the results as showing a
Btate of public sentiment which requires '
at least to be understood, even if it is not to
be respecttd. They who fancy that, be?
cause a certain class of influential citizens
? (more influential anywhere else than in
Politic*)?have resolved to call tho Wilmot
Prnvipo a humbug and pronounce it dead,
therefore the spirit which evoked and up?
held it is defunct, make a very great mis?
take. The A cling of the quiet millions on
their secluded farms and in their busy shops
and factories is the *ame now as in 1820 or j
in 1847. It is decidedly, unequivocally, j
actively hostile to any Extension of Slavery.
If tho North acquiesces in the Adjustment
just effected, it in with the clear understand?
ing that Slavery its not to spread ovor one
inch of our acquisitions from Mex?o be?
yond the now settled limits of Texas. Let
Slavery advance one foot, and all will be in
commotion again.
?The fo:lowi?g, from tbe Albany Even?
ing Jvxmial, expresses the sentiment of a 1
n.ajiirity of the Whigs of our State, as test,
ed by the votes of their Representatives in
Congress. Wo do not see all tho facts in
precisely ihe same light with tho Journal,
but wo entirely accord with its avowals of
principle. It must everywhere be under?
stood that all acquiescence of Northern
Whigs in tho Adjustment just effoctod is
bused on and measured by tho conviction
that Slavery is not to bo extended boyoml
its present limits. The Right and tho Duty
of Prohibiting its Extension by Congre-s,
whenever necessary, are firmly maintained
by nine-tenths of the Whigs and throe
fourths of the People of the Froo States.
Cannon may not always express precisely
a public conviction, but Ballots are less
equivocal.?Hear The Journal:

(t The Tribune An?YereH."
Under this head, the Evening Post informs
its readers that our article of yesterday on
j 'What Might Have Been,' is "a feeble
apology " for our course?that the territory
? which has been lost to Free Soil by extend
ing Texas up to 3r>' 30' is " barren and
worthless," while
"Both bills r'efrftuded Now Mexico of the fertile our.
try lnim?ditt*tv aiound the junction of the river Puero
*ith the ?lo fjrafld.8 siid Colorado."
We don't know what The Post means
here exactly; for it certainly cannot mean
that She Puerci, an eastern tributary of the
Rio Grande, forms a''junction" also with
"the Colorado," whether it be the Cobrado
that falls into the Golf of California or tha*
which finds the Gulf of Mexico through
Matogorda Bay. Nor do we think the term
" fertile country " properly applied to any
part of the valley of the Puerco, whose
general course lies through a rugged, rocky
mountain region, though there may be a
few square miles of fertile land in the Rio
Grande valley near the m<)Uth of the Puerco.
Nor do we agree that the territory lost to
New-Mexico by the failure of the Compro?
mise bill is " barren and worthless." Some
of it may be so; but much of it is grassy
prairie, watered by tbe Canadian and the
more northerly branches of the Rod river.
But admit that the boundary suggested
by Cd. Benton (countenanced by Humboldt)
and now preferred by The Puht would have
been better still than the Compromise, what
chance was there of securing it? Even
Col. Benton himself did not pre?s it, though
ho made a speech in its favor. Mr. E^ing
next tried it, tut was voted down very de?
cidedly. If the party su-tained by The
Tost would have given it a proportional
vote to that gladly accorded it by the
WhigH, that boundary could have been car?
ried : but it never did and never would.? i
Every attempt to settle the Boundary ques. ',
tion just right went directly across the grain 1
! of aggressive Slavery av.d partisan Democra?
cy, the former anxious to do its best for
Texas, as all that was given to her was se
cared to Slavery; while the latter was com?
plicated in the same bad business by its in?
volvement in the Annexation of Texas and
the cheating Annexation Resolutions stipu?
lating that all Texas above the line of 30?
30' should be formed into Free States.?
This has been the mischief from the first,
palpable in tbe eyes of all who would see,
that tho so-called 'Democracy' was m?a
surably committcd by its antecedents to the
pretensions of Texas, as was tbe Suiitfi by
the natural iDstinct of Slavery to extend it?
self; and tnat these two combined were
J morally certain to wreBt from New-Mexico
nearly all the territory in dispute not essen?
tial to her very existeuce. Such is the dan
ger and the catastrophe which we have
struggled to avert or at least to modify.
The Post sees that this danger was real??
feels it, knows it?but lacks the candor and
honesty to own it, expecting, by presuming
on popular ignorance or heedlessness, to
make capital for the party which imposed
the necessity for concession on the true men
of the North.
?But bear The Post on the main point:
' At to the locond point thai it thn MeuJe or Kr*? 8 11
had hut luppoited theC nipro:i l?e, iho boundary reported
by tt? Ci/ttin.lUee * ?uld htve hewn adopted by Congreoa,
?ud thl? hairen regtun would b?ve neea ?a?ej iu tfnir
Mexico,?the Kode lu which we have dUpoaed or ihe Srat
p. inl might ipare us thn Dfceetslty of arguing this. But if
any < un tblr^la certain In p,>:tucal tpecu attuni concerning
the future, I I? ibli, that if b* adversaries of ibe exte-nitoa
of S.avery bsd conceded tbythlnr of th" high ground they
ti oa In the outset of tbe controversy, iheir pllaccy woa'd
b?ve t een made the occasion f r drl?h g ihem lo still far
Iber coccei?ku? lfth-y bad said, "we will support tbe
Comp i r: , bill, unjust aa ?r? ihlrk it" the boundaries of
New-Mexico wuu d, in all probability, have been still fur?
ther na- rowed."
Our position was substantially this?that
the friends of Free Soil in Congress, when
they held the fate of the Omnibus confes?
sedly in their hands, might have command?
ed such reasonable and just Boundary be?
tween New-Mexico and Texas as they htd
6een fit to require. The Whig Senators
from the Southern States (Messrs. Berrien 1
and Morton excepted) were not at all com?
mitted nor devoted to the pretensions of
Texas; they desired unly peace and adjust
ment, and?the Wilmofc Proviso being
waived?would have cheerfully purchased
the success of the Compromife, if neces?
sary, by assenting either to Col. Bcnton's
line preferred'^by The Pusr, or to ihe line of
32? drawn straight across from the Rio
Grande to the Red River. These Senav^rs, i
with the eighteen Free Soilera from the
Free States, would have passed the bill; '
and the suise combination of elements I
would have passed it in die House. In ei?
ther c?se, many thou^iuds of square miles
would have been saved to Free Labor which
are now irreooveribly lost Instead of sup?
porting the Compromise bill, i( unjust as we
think it,'1 it might, in this vital matter of
Boundary, have been madejtut, and kopt
so. We do not say by whose fault this result
was missed; bat we know whose fault it
was not.
?Tiers is always one way to manage 1
Puch controversies: -claim the while ; insist
that do inch shall he conceded; stigmatize
all who propose adjustment as time-servers
or traitors, and keep hawling to the end,
" No Surrender ! " " The whole or nene! "
" 54? 40' or fight!'' By takiDg this coarse,
you av id all obloquy or misunderstanding
on the fart of the undiscerning many, and
when what you struggled for is lost?and
this is the way to lose it?you can vocife?
rously charge the dieter upon those who
dared and risked for and deserved a better
result. The Post is w se for itself.
