WAHtMOTOir, March 6, 1854.
It is ascertained that the Gadsden treaty standi a very
small chance of being ratified by the Senate. The amend
ment* recommended by the President make the treaty
even more unpopular than it would be in 1U original
state.
Hon. John L. Dawson, of Penn., deserves great credit
for the manner in which he has fought the Homestead
bill through tho House. It is quite probable it may not
be an Hucc0H*ful in the Senate.
Territorial bills ? not the Nebraska ? will be discussed in
the House to-morrow, Wednesday and Thursday.
The Nebraska bill will be reported from the Senate to
the Houae to-morrow, and will then be referred to the
Territorial Committee. It ia not intended to discuss it
this week.
Hon. Hiram Walbrldge has been obliged to leave for
New York on urgent business.

of the fourth section, so as to inciudo within the provi
sions of the act persona who may declare their inten
tions to become citizens after the passage of the aot. He
waa opposed to all special legislation, and said there was
no reason why a person who declared his intentions the
next week or next year after a bill has passed, should
not be entitled to its benefits equally with those who
had (lone so heretofore. He wis opposed to making any
discrimination as to giving its benefits, only on condition
of actual settlement and occupation.
Mr. Dawson, (dem.) of Pa., opposed the amendment,
> on the ground that the bill should be confided to those
who bsd now declared their intentions, or were now

contradicting asset-lions made by Mr. Brooks. He con
cluded by remarking that he had only imparted a small
portion of his knowledge for the benefit of the Senator of
the Sixth, but might before the clone of the Reunion make
further kdevclopementa? -but did not touch the question
under consideration.
Mr. Brooks consumed another half hour on personal
explanation and defence. Frequently he administered
sarcasm in allopathic doses to Mr. Dickinson, though
done so playfully that Mr. Dickinson joined the audience
in laughter^ although it was at his own expense.
The question pending was upon a motion made some
days since by Mr. Hutchina, to extend the time from
August to February next, before the law should
go into operation. The reason advanced for this
? amendment, as advocated by Mr. Putnam and Mr.
Crosby, was that persons now engaged in the
manufacture, importation, and trafflc of distilled or fer
mented liquors, might have time so to regulate their busi
ness ss to prepare themselves for the action of the tempe
rance law. Others stated that the time should be put be
Sond the next election, in order that the people of the
tate might have an opportunity of expressing their
sentiments through the ballot boxes. The vote was
taken, and the Aral of February carried by the casting
vote of the chairman,- Mr. Lansing. A reconsideration
was bad, when the vote was again taken, and then it was
lost. The 1st of December was then proposed, which
was as warmly opposed, and was also lost ? the friends of
the bill protesting zealously against say change from
the 1st of August.
Another amendment proposed by Mr. Hutchinson was
also pending, snd that was to insert a section allowing
the people to vote for or against a prohibitory liquor law,
at the next November election. Only three Senators
favored this proposition.
Mr. Dickinson offered an amendment making the pro
perty of landlords holden for any aets of tenants under
the law. This was considered so manifestly unjust that i
even the ultra temperance Senators would not adopt it, 1
and it was lost by a strong vote.
A large number of propositions to amend were offered
and rejected; the bare majority present determined that
no further amendments should be engrafted on the bill.
At near three o'clock the Committee rose, and the bill
was reported to the Senate. The motion to agree to the
report of the committee was laid on the table to be taken
up to morrow, when another day will be consumed in vot
ing upon amendments which were rejected iu committee.
A majority will be found willing to extend the time to
December next, for having it go into effect. The bill
will t-aes the Henate by Wednesday, at farthest, be sent to
the House, and upon application of the previous ques
tion, concurred in that body. It is now said that tJovor- ,
nor Peymoar will sign the bill, becvu.^e some of his friend
have been so indiscreet as to cirsnlate private conversa
Hons, In which they declared ho informed them he woul
veto it ? and also because the HBRald and Senator Dickin
son declsrod the same opinion.
Ibe Iiouse was industrious in a smslTlooal way. 8evo
ral uninteresting matters of a private nature were dls |
cussed, several bills introduced, and others read a third '
time. Among the new bills Is one by Mr. Leigh, reguln

to assist the men In bearing the burdens of government,
ploughing the flaids, performing militia duty, working oa
the highways, kc.
Up to this period, there have been only forty -two laws
passed the Legislature.
The following bill was recently introduced in the As

German Hostility to the Nebraska Rill.
TflKIR l'ROCESNION YESTERDAY.
The Germans of this city hontile to the Nebraska bill
and the Maine law organised themselves into a proces
sion yesterday, and marched about the streets, display
ing Itanners, and attended with muaic, he., by way of
expressing their opposition to slavery and to any law
cutting off their lager bier.
At about 12 o'clock they assembled iu the Park, to the
nnmber of about three thousand, and, after a few
speeches and some cheering, they marched down to the
office of the Stoutit Ztilumj, on the corner of William
and Frankfort streets, to express their condemnation for
this paper, because it haa steadily supported the Ne
braska bill. Arriving in Iront of the olliee of this paper,
the procession halted and commenced hissing and groan
ing, and by way of expressing their contempt, they
threw paper caps, called fool's caps, against the building.
A great number had horns and bugles, and the blnsta
from these, mingled with the hissing, groaning, and
yelling, produced truly an unearthly cound, not at all
agreed lie to listen to.
The street was completely jammed, the crowd be'ng
n crested t.y spectators to the number of eight or ten
thousand. Vesting some disturbance, the Chief of Police
had upon the ground several platoons of men. ready to
go in as soon as any overt aet was committed.
There wus upon the sidewalk, on the corner of Frankfort
and William streets, (whether de<ignedly or not we can
not say,) a largo quantity of small cord wuod sticks,
which would have answered \ ery woll for clubs, If any
fighting had taken place, and beyond doubt they would
have been used if any opposition had been manifested.
The crowd, after hissing and yelling till they were
hoarse or tired out, marched up Chatham street, back
again through William to Beekmnn street, up Ileek man
street to Park row, and through the east gate into the
Park, where immediately wero assemble 1 an immense
crowd of people, not loss, perhaps, than eight thousand.
The procession, while marching through the streets,
was proceeded by a band of music, and carried ia front a
large white flag, upon which was inscribed ''No Nebras
ka. *' After this were several smaller flags, attached to
broomsticks, limbs of troes, sticks, staves, Ate., reading',
"No Nebraska," "No Slavery," and "No Milne Law."
When tho company marcned into the Park, a few
speeches was delivered, and after some more cheering,
hooting, Ac., they dispersed.
New York Horticultural Horlcly.
The regular weekly meeting of thia society was held
last evening, at their rooms, No. f>00 Broadway. Shepherd
Knapp, Esq., presided, and Mr. P. B. Mead acted as secre
tary.
Several very One specimens of the floral race were ex
hibited on the table in front of the President, diffusing
odors like " the sweet south that breathes upon a bank
of violets."
A letter was received from P. T. Barnuin. offering his
Museum for the next exhibition of the society, in May
next, Including advertising and all necessary expenses,
and also pay a bonus to the society of ftlOt).
A long debate ensued upon the reading of- this letter.
The members appeared equally divided as to the expedi
ency of holding it in the Museum, in compliance with Mr.
Bamum's jequest, or engaging a room or thoir own and
setting up an exhibition on their own account.
Mr. Hoco thought It would be (inadvisable to hold tho
exhibition at Barnum's. The place was Inconvenient and
inaceessable to ladies, who would be expected to consti
tute a large proportion of the visiters.
The Prjmuknt said that the Htate Annnal Fair was to lie
lickl in this city, and it hail lieen inquired of him whether
the exhibition of the society could not lie held at the
same plsce and time.
Mr. Rboi said that the weightiest objection given
against the exhibition was that fumls were wanting.
Trie offer of the Museum would obviate this ; the offer wss
a liberal one, and Mr. Rarnum seemed to hare the in- J
terest of ths society st heart.
Mr. Scott was opposed to the exhibition being held at
the Museum. The gentleman further remarked that he
did not carwalioul the great mass of people viewing the
flowers, as they would probably know nothing about
them : what they wanted was the appreciation or intelH
gent observers
Mr. lloMl did not like the threat whi' h lie understood
Mr. Barnum hud made, to have a flower exhibition at all
events Ii> Ids place of smusement.
The PRBMBKvr said it wss a very lilveral proposition of
Mr. Rnrnnm's, and he could see no objection to goln? to
the Museoni. He hoped a eommitt'-e would be appointed
to confer with Mr. B.
The Six:*itrAi:v was in favor of holding the spring ex
hibition In the Museum. He had but one object inn- -the
Museum was not adapted for an exhibition of plants.
The members would haws to ask themselves a serious
question ? Would the plants live there? The plants that
wi uH be srntthern would be worth half a million of
dollars ? (laughter) ? or less. The matter onght to be
considered seriwxslv.
The pR?sniie>T asked if the meeting waa ready ffcr the
aprointment sf a committee.
The SBi'iiKTARr said that Mr. Barnum ought to pay
fer all tU plants damaged during the inhibition
(Laughter.)
The PiiBunwrr put the question ss to the lommittee, j
and a committee of Ave. was appointed.
The Hsr bktakt said it was neeeasary thnt ? resolution ?
should be passed providing that an exhibition he held In >
the spring, if an arrangement could he rosii"' with Mr. |
lis mum petfeetly satisfactory to the sahboouitnlt t/-e.
This verhal resolution waa carried unanimously.
It was moved antf seconded that the committee sheuku |

mi'iiM for the removal af the mud and dirt witlt wbiete
our city is at p?eeent <lelaged. At the stated hour be
tween oue and taw thowaai* persona assembled In front
of the City Hall, sad soon sdtor the meeting waa organ
ised by the appointment of Z. W. Andrews ox President.
The greatest unanimity appealed to prevail in relation to
(be purpose* for wb^afr'it bad >*en called, and we heard
aev< ral express iu stumg terma their indignation against,
he elty authoritiea far the culpable neglect they hae?
exhibited upon a subjeat of such importance to the aani
tary londition of oar c*y. One gentleman, before tb?
meeting waa called to order, suggested the psoprlety of
dumping two or throe hundred cart Ionda- of mnd oppo
site Mayor Westervelt's residence, a a a testimonial of
their esteem for the Herculean energy be baa displayed
?n procuring the removal of tho tilth. He waa willing, ha
aaid, te sontrlbute to the erection of a testimonial of tkli'
kind, and hinted that if in the course of a few days th?
same disregard of the health and cle&nlineaa of oar city
at 111 continued, not only the Mayor, but every member of
the Common Council, would be forcibly reminded of their
duty by having similar favon laid before their ow?
doors.
After the meeting was called to order, the President
made a few brief remarks. His appointment as Prerf
dent, he said, was entirely unexpected by him. He had
come in with the crowd because be thoroughly sympa
thised with the objects for which the meeting was called;
and it would be more gratifying to his findings if sooso
other gentleman were appointed in his stead. My heart
and kouI, lie continued, are with you, and 1 wlH aid yon
with my best endeavors to carry out any measures that
you may adopt to remedy the great grievance-of which
we all have such just cause of complaint. T ask you,
therefore, with all sincerity, to accept my resignation.
(Cries of "No, no I stay where yott ure.") Sine*
you are so determined, then I will endeavor, to tha
best of my ability, to discharge the duties incumbent
upon me in my present position. , My convictions of
what is right, and my knowledge of the present disgrace
ful condition of our streets, has urged me, in comraoa
with a large number of others, to exclaim against tba
total disregard which our municipal government has
exhibited for the true interests of our city. We are
called upon now to act for ourselves, and I trust wo
shall do so with a determination not to be diverted froua
our purpose.
At the conclusion of the President's remarks, which
were received with loud applause, II. N. Wild, Esq., and
Mr. G. N. Middlebrook, were appointed Vice-Presidents.
It was then moved that a committee of Ave be appolntod
to report, at a meeting to be held in the same place to
morrow afternoon, at four o'clock, the names of a com
mittee, constating of two persons from each ward, whoM
duty it khall be to take Into consideration the conditio*
of the streets, and devise means for their immediate
cleansing.
This motion was carried unanimously, and the meeting
proceeded to nominate the persons who were to com
pose It.
The first name was that of Mr. Middlebrook, then Mr.
John Belden. Mr. James Gordon Bennett was next
proposed, and the nomination approved of with three
cheers. Pome individual called out the name of Homo*
Creeley. and it was also accepted. The last named waa
Francis McLaughlin, and his name completed the com
mittee.
An unknown person in the crowd suggested the name*
of Henry J. Raymond and George Dutler, but they wera
both rejected.
After the appointment of the committee a motion waa
made and carried in favor of adjournment. The crowd
then quietly dispersed.
