Paris, May 1C, 1850.
To lh' F.di1 or of thr National Era :
We are now, my dear sir, in the current of a
whirlpool which seems to be hurrying this unhappy
country irresistibly to civil wnr. A single
day only tuny be between .us and the commencement
of bloody scenes. The wild pwnions of
party were never more Aerce. In the Assembly,
opposite orators hurl at each other the most
abusive epithets. Minister Baroche rails like a
fiahwoman of Billingsgate, and receives a reply in
the same strain, 'l'he newspapers are oocupied
with discussions of the propriety and expediency
of civil war What will sll this result in? I
dread looking at the future. The Administration
determined to provoke an insurrection at
Paris, which it is well prepared to suppress.
Kvery engine is put in motion to effect this.
Provocations and insults in the Assembly ; the
proposal of a law to eiclude from one-third to
one-half of the voters; the daily arrestation of
the sellers of opposition journals, the repeats*!
seizures of the same journals at the post office; the
indictments of editors, publishers, and printers,
the unheard-of outrage of the prohibition issned
to M. B00I6, the printer of the Vour du People
R*and Estofate, to exercise his trade j
the evident determination of the Administration
to destroy these opposition journals at all hazards,
members of the legislative majority to remove the
neat of Government to Versailles , the menaces in
the Presidential papers of coups d'etat; the propositions
in the same to annihilate the Constitution,
and make M. Bonaparte President for life; the
filso alarms of iusurrootion and conspiracies
spread by the same ; the direct challenges to civil
war; the insnlting and irritating speeches of
General Changarnier, Prefect Carlier. and others,
all lead directly, and are no doubt intended to do
so, to civil war. What other means could be taken to
provoke one f
The Government feels itself strong enough to
suppress the insurrection. The forts around the
city are filled with ammunition, and fully fur
nished with cannons; millions of bomb shells ami
cannon-balls have been stored np; one hundred
and fifty thousand men have bcrn concentrated
on Paris If the republican party can be made to
tight, it will be put down, the chief imprisoned,
the Constitution reversed, and Honnpnrte made
President for life. The repMic.ij>s dr not wish

some way. Hut let us turn to the examination of
the principal measure of the reaction.
THE LAW AGAINST 8UKKKAOK.
As this law will be the battle-ground of parties
for some time to come, nnd may be the prime
cauge of another revolution, it deservee a more
particular notice than that devoted to it in onr
last. The jesuitical manner in which it is framed
makes this more necessary. It avoids all mention
of its own object, and Beems to be aimed only
against vagibonds. In one clause, and the leading
one, the broad principle of universal suffrage
is declared for all domiciled for three years in the
name nlace. The true character of the law is to
be bccu only in the clauses specifying the nature
of the proofs to be produced by the person wishing
to vote. Only five kinds of proof are to he
admitted :
1. Inscription on the tax-list.
2. Written declaration of parents that the son
has resided three years, without interruption,
under lite pater ml roof.
3. Written declaration of masters or patrons
that servants, or workmen, have worked for thein
three years, residing in the saw house.
4. Proof of holding a public otfioe.
5. Proof of serving in the armies.
The ones marked 2 and '( are unimportant as it
regards the number of persons affected. Work
men rarely live in the saw house with their employers,
or grown up sons three years with their
fathers. The true operation of the clauses is to
gtve nek fattier or master vtie privilege or sending
his sons or servants to the polls, but this is
left entirely to him, for there is no way of forcing
him to make the written declaration.
Number 4 secures to the Administration the
votes of its subordinates.
Number r> secures to the soldiers of three years1
standing the right to vote. Out a soldier who has
served two years and a half, after living the same
time in a commune, would have no such right.
The clause is left ambiguous, so as not to alarm
the army, but this will be the interpretation put
Ion it. Another clause provides that the votes of
the army are to be nixed with the others, and
kept a secret from the public.
The only voters, then, will be the functionaries,
civil and military, and the tax-payers.
I low many tax-payers are there in France?
L> Notional, in discussing the law, gives the statistics
on this point. It gives a list of the departments.
and, opposite the name of each, places in
one column the number of voters on the lists at
the last elections; in a second, the number of
persons inscribed on the poll-tax list; and in a
third, the number deprived of the right of suffrage
by the electoral law. I give you a part of
the table:

In these six departments, the number of citixens
deprived of the right of suffrage is larger than

Inscribed voters - - - - 9,6'28,.V19
Number on tnx list - - - - 8 009,4'iO
Number excluded - - - - 3,619,129
This is supposing all the tn x -payers rot ere; but
the tax list includes all women, minors, convicts,
and resident foreigner*, who possess property in
I their own name. The first two classes alone
number nearly two millions. Many rotors, too,
own different pieces of property in the same or
different departments, and figure as often on the
tax list. No person is placed on the list who does
not pay a rent, or ooeupy a house worth a rsnt of
two hundred francs In Paris, this amount is
eletated to three hundred. Prom theae data, it is
clear the law excludes about fire millions of the
I actual voters.
One of the clauses deprives of the right of suffrage
every civil oflioer removed by a jodicial
decision , but the one intruded to bear moat
directly against the memlters of the opposition
runs us follows: "Persons condemned for rebellion,
or insulting any depository of authority or
of the public force, or for the misdemeanor Spoken
of in the law on crowds, ami that on clubs," shall
l<we the right of suffrage for five years. Under
this clause, the Government will be able to disfranchise,
fit any moment, an opponent, bv sendinr
policeman to haraaa him, taking him up if he
say a word. Aa to the Preach courta, they offer
no security at alt to the citiiens, being all lilted
i w ith the warm advocates of the reaction.
| Thin ia the taw which M Beroche, M Thiera,
M lierryer, M Montalrmliert, and the rest of
the desperate intriguers of the reaction, any ia
quite consistent with a Constitution which establishes
universal suffrage
The Committee haa chosen M. Leon Kaucher
chairman, and will present its report to-day or
to-morrow. The diseuaaion will not oommence
probably before Saturday or Monday. M. Faucher
is a very suitable person to defend the bill; he is
cool, self possessed, adroit in argument, quick in
repartee, and so nnacruputoue that only Ave persona
were fonnd to vote for him when the Conatituent
Assembly sen?rsd htm for eimutatlx * "
| P"?ta by telegraph. Some mod ideations win be
introduced into the original plan, bat there le no
doubt of the peonage of the bill.
The position of the different parties in regard i
to the bill is worthy of note. The most prominent
Nspoleonists are silent and nou-committal before
the public, but will rote yen. The Legitimists
are anxious to hare the hill passed, with some I
slight modifications to suit the interest of their
iulluence over the peasants of Vendee and other
parts of the country, but are equally anxious to
preserve the appcuranoe of liberality. In their
journals, they denounce roundly the illiberally ,
of the law Their gsmc is a heartless one. On
the final vote, they will take good care to let the
law pass, and at the same time detach sotne of
their men to vole with the opposition. Larochejatjnelin
is the chief of the /tofmlur section of the
Legitimists. It would astonish no one to see him
attack the bill st the tribune as i I literal, although
there is not in France a man really more opposed
to popular right than be is The Orleanists will
all support the bill, us their strength lies ouly
among the richer bourgeois.
The discussion will be long and stormy. A great
many amendments will be proposed It Is possible
that the Left may abstain from debate, hut not
probable. M. Lamartine intends to speak. There
is no telling what he will say, he is so very eccentric,
and withal so very polite. The groat poet Is
said now to he the politest man in France He
cah never believe that anybody is so naughty us
to intend to violate the Constitution, but recognises
the purity of the motives of everybody, M Baroche
included He has become very tiresome with his
eternal compliments. Ooe of the papers says he
rivals a certain M.Caigney, who was so polite
that he would spring out of the window to let
down the carriage steps for an illustrious visiter.

The Seventh Central Con?res* of Azritnllvrr,

in the discussion of matters most important to
France. To place the reader at the proper point
of view to comprehend, at a glance, the bearing of
the action* of this body, it is only necessary to
observe that it was composed of the richest landowners,
manufacturer", nrd merchants, besides a
few politicians and political economists. all selected
by Government, and belonging to the richest cream
of the reaction. M. Dupin was elected President.
The first question to be discussed was the division
of real estate?a question second to no other in
importance, and demanding all the lights of the
intelligence of the country. Real property is in
some parts of France not only divided, but puheristd
; the expense of cultivation bears no reasonable
proportion to the value of the products: the
crops must be taken off by the hand, manure taken
to the ground on shovels, or packed on donkeys ;
the ground cannot be ploughed, but must be spaded,
all which exaggerate the cost of cultivation, and
make the situation of the farmer really deplorable
The tendency in France is now what it has Imen
for fifty years past, to an extreme division of the
landed property. The solution of this important
question was not attempted, the Congress adjourning
it to in ore tranquil times, 'its solution would
certainly not have made the Government more
iiorkCu, a ich tkg pewgnts, fyr H mar neither mot-*
nor less than an intervention of the State to destroy
the small farms, and maintain the larfce ones
This would have been a species of socialism not at
all to the taste of the peasants, whom the Government
is now endeavoring to conciliate. What an
unfortunate thing it is for the rich land owners,
that the good old times of manors and serfs cannot
be restored!
The land question must be met sooner or later
in France. There are now about five million families
owners of real estate, yet there are so many
large properties, and the State owns so much in
forests, Wiiste lands,&c, that not one-seventh part,
of the ground is actually under the plough, and
only fifty-four hundredths used for nil purposes,
the balance being useless both to proprietors and
the public. The French peasants have been kept
in Huch a lamentable ignorance, that they are
wholly unable to develop the resources of the
country, and, with a better soil and climate than
I' 1. . 1 .1 ..l.w.t th.
nu^i'iin, prwiurro nuuui 11:111 uo iiiuitii iu inr jhit
lu agriculture, she is at about the point occupied
by England sixty years ago. M. Fould has made
a goal move in proposing to sell a large portion of
the forests belonging to the State. A better one
would be, to go to work and educate the people,
intersect all the good agricultural regions with
railroads, establish agricultural fairs, and provide,
by good commercial treaties, foreign markets for
the manufacturing and agricultural products.
On the question of uncultivated lands, the Congress
expressed the hope that the Government
would take efficient measures to promote the getting
them under culture.
The forest question was discussed with much
ability. The decision was, that in all cases where
the preservation of a forest is not necessary to the
preservation of the soil, greater liberty should he
given to clearing. At present, no proprietor is
allowed to cut his own trees without obtaining
permission of me Miuiatar omnaftee at
The Congress resolved that Government should
impose on railroad companies the obligation to
carry at the " lowest possible prices" all kinds of
manure for the soil.
The m>at question was left where it is, except
the shrewd suggestions for the purpose of making
the present duties 011 imports more effective for
the prohibition of animals of foreign growth. The
present tariff'of France imposes not. only a heavy
duty on cured meat, hut one on live animals as
follows:
Beeves 50 francs a head.
Cows 25 francs a head.
Heifers 12*^ francs a head.
Calves 3 francs a head.
Sheep- - - - - - f) francs a head.
v?ne wuuiu suppose, iruni me eagerness ui me
French statesmen to exclude the meat of other
countries, that France produced enough for the
liberal supply of all her wants. The truth is
just the reverse. Her own statistics, favoruble
enough to herself, state the annual production of
black cattle at 800,000, and that of sheep at
millions. A large proportion of the first should
be deducted for those dying of maladies, used in
cultivating the fields, or in caits as beasts of
draught, kept as milch cows, &.c; leaving probably
not more than half the number as beef cattle. Hut
supposing the whole number brought to the knife,
there are not more than enough to feed properly,
from the beginning of the year to the end of it,
the inhabitant* of the thirty most populous towns
of France. A beef weighing about fi cwt. sells
here for about seventy dollars. The meat is retailed
at prices varying with the quality and part
of the animal, from 14 to 48 sous, the fillets oosting
the highest price. That is, a pound of good
meat oosts more than the wages of a stout peasant
for three days. The consequence may be easily
seen : the large majority of the French people do
not eat meat more than a few times a ye ir, and
many children grow to maturity without ever getting
a better idea of the taste of meat than may be
gained from an occasional bite at its apology, rancid
goat's cheese Salted meat is, of oonrss, very
high. If our diplomacy oould gain from France
the reduction of the tariff duties on the import of
meat, the pnirie? of Illinois and the wide plains of
Texas would soon contribute to the nourishment
of the French peasant. The first difficulty in the
way would be the Agricultural Congress, which
sustains to the utmost the claims of the cattleraisers
of Normandy.
In its xeal for the protective system, the Congress
inflicted a solemn censure on the three Paris
professors of political economy, Messrs. Wolowski,
lilanqui. and Michel Chevalier, for teaching the
free trade doctrines. The Congress assumed the
position that professors paid from the Treasury
ought always to support the ministerial policy!

"Mr. Editor Shortly after the appearance of
an article in your paper, over the signature of
Lycurgus, at the instance of Dr. Bernhisrl, a
curl was published, purporting to he from some
one passing hy the Mormon City, designed to
discredit the statements of Lycurgus; hut the
j tl.t.vi 1 . - ?
lb ouuvimiicv. nil m|1?v \\,v g<u> >? !,.m ran ire induced
to SAy is, that the Mormons at Halt Lake
'appear to be a civil and industrious people.'
Almost any polite lawyer, for a I rifle, would say
more than this
* Notwithstanding that Lycurgua closed his
last with a promise of (if acceptable, he ought to
have said) 4more from this quarter shortly,' he
had ahout come to the conclusion to let the matter
rest, but new and strange things have sprung up
lately, in which you, Mr. Editor, are personally
concerned. The honorable A. W. Babbitt, some
weeks since, returned to Nauvoo, direct from
Congress In stores and public places he boasted
that, on your declining to give up the proper
name of Lycurgus, he told you he would 'cowhide'
you. Well, rather than take the 'hide,'
you gave up the name, (so he says,) transferring
the whole to poor old Lycurgus, who, in great
mercy, has escaped unscathed thus far. Please
let the gentleman have the name at once.''
The foregoing is the beginning of a long article
on the subject of the Mormons. It is one which
is not eiactly suitable to our columns, and which,
therefore, must yield place to other topics of more
priori"" But we publish the beginning
of the article tor the purpose of giving an unqualified
deliiai to the statement made in the last ]par*
agraph, relating to us personally.
Mr. Babbitt never (i'mimiM of us the name of
Lycurgus nor did he ever use towards us language
in the least degree disrespectful. If he had
done either, he would have got nothing for his
pains. As the communication referred to him
personally, anil as the writer of it expressly
authorized us to give his name, we voluntarily
communicated the name to Mr Babbitt, and told
hiui he might reply if he chose, as we never permitted
any one to be nassiled iu our columns
without recognising his right to vindicate himself
through the same medium. Ou receiving the
article from which we extract the two paragraphs
above quoted, we called the attention of Mr. Babbitt
to thein, and in a note to him requested him
to say whether he had made such a statement as
was imputed to him in the latter paragraph. His
reply iB as follows:

doing business there, but not in the style of language

Mr. Smith, the delegate from New Mexico, publishes
in the Notional Intelligencer a letter, dated
St. Louis, May 2-Uh, from E. W. Prewitt, " a gentleman
of great intelligence and respectability,
who is just In from New Mexico," nnd knows
all about the state of things in that country, lie
left Santa Fe on the 17th of April.
He says that the People are about forming a
State Government
" A large majority of the People of the Territory
have manifested time and again their preference
for a Territorial Government; and at the
very lost trial of the question it was shown, even
in Santa Fe, the atroughold of the State party,
that there were ten to one in favor of a Territorial
Government; but since the arrival of the
Texan Commissioner, who comes with threats in
his mouth, ' that if tbs jurisdiction of Texas is
not submitted to quietly,Texas will march a sufficient
force into the oountry to compel submission,'
an almost universal cry has been raised to
orgttnixe a State Government, in the belief that
the Government they have asked for and desire,
above all others, will not be given them duriDg
this session of Congress.
" They are determined to resist Texas in every
tvny, until resistance is impossible; and that they
may make that resistance feasible and effectual,
they must have a Government; and a State Government
being the only one within their reach,
they have resorted to that, not from choice, but

' They were willing to laugh at the claim of
Texas while peaceable means were used to extend
it; but when threats of force come with if, they
are ready to meet force with force, and to hurl

which she wishes to force upon them The means
placed by the existing laws in their hands will
be used against Texas while those means will do;
and when they fail, resort will be had to any mfans

says, that if we adopt this amendment wc do in
faot recognise, by implication at least?a strong
implication, I think he says?the existence of
slavery, or at all events the propriety ami the
constfiuffonality of the introduction of slavery
into the Territories. I wish to exclude t,b*t conclusion,
if it lie possible. \ltM V>r that purpose 1
move to amend the amendment, by adding thereto,
ua fnlltrtVfl -
Provided, furth'T, That nothing ht-rein contained
shall bo construed as authorizing or permitting
the introduction of slavery, or the holding
of persons as proj>erty, within the ssid Territories
Mr Pratt. That is the-Wilmot Proviso.
Mr. Chare. Upon that amendment I ask the
yean and nays.
The ye&H and nays having been ordered,
Mr Dayton moved a postponement till to-morrow
at one o'clock. Lost?yeaa 22, nays 24.
Mr. Clay did not understand the amendment
of Mr. Davis of Mississippi as containing
an implication that slavery could be legally introduced
into the Territories, and therefore had no
objection to it. And if the Senator from Ohio
[Mr Chaae| would modify his amendment, ao as
merely to declare that it was not the intention of
Congress to asaert one way or the other the operation
of the Constitution and laws of the United
States as to the introduction of slavery, he would
have no objection to it.
Mr. Hale liked the amendment of Mr. Chase,
but at the proper time he wanted an opportunity
to vote directly upon the Wilmot Proviso, which,
if no one else would move he would. After some
remarks upon the resolutions of the free State
Legislatures, binding their Senators to vote for
the Proviso, he said?
I say that, for one, I stand by the infamy of
that measure?the Ordinance of 17S7?and I am
ready to sustain it; I am willing to stagger under
the load, the opprobrium, that may he heaped
upon the man that adheres to the old track, and
walks in the steps of the fathers of the country
The 8enator from Kentucky the other day (i
have not t\is snavk before ins. hut it mad" ??eh
an impression upon me thai 1 reeolleet the import
of it) said he thought if this compromise bill was
(mssed, everybody would be satisfied
Mr. Clay. No, Bir;no.
Mr. Hale. I have not completed my sentence.
The honorable Senator will please to wait till 1
get through. Me saiu that everybody would he
satisfied except?except
A Senator. Present company.
Mr. Hale. No, not present company, but except
a few miserable funatios Now, air, to use a
homely phrase, permit me to tell that honorable
Neuator that he could not bring a better grist to
the hopper for these fanatios to grind than this
same compromise hill. No, air, by no possibility
could a measure be devised or matured that oould
better answer the purpose of these "miserable
fanatics." (O, the wretches)) |Laughter ] No, sir ,
If there are any that want to give them food, let
them pass this compromise bill, and they will
have enough to do.
Now, sir, I have only to say this for myself?
and I nay it for myself and constituents?that,
upon this question, my motto shall be: "If the
I Lord be God, serve him ; and, if Baal, serve him "
There is, there can be legitimately no compromise
upon the question whether the American
Government at this day should plaoe itself upon
the side of freedom or of slavery. There can be
and there ought to be no compromise between the
question whether slavery shall be extended into
Territories now free by the direct action of this
Government. And, sir, I, for one, shall vote
against any amendment which is to wrap up the
plain, naked features of this proposition hy circumlocution?some
amendment about which no
two members of the Senate can agrewas to whit it
means. I want a distinct proposition; and if the
policy of this Government from its foundation is
to be abandoned?if the oounaels and the experience
of past time are to be set at naught?and if
we are to-day to launch out on a new experiment
of extending the blessing of liberty to the institution
of human slavery?let it be known?let gentlemen
do the work, and do it openlv. And if
that is the prioe upon which the Union is to be
preserved, let that issue go out to the Americsn
people, and I doubt not they will understand it?
understand it from the North and South, from
the blast and West. 1 believe it if a libel upon
them, and upon any part of them, live where they
may, in whatever State they may, to say that,
upon such an issue as that. they nr* ready to
venture upon the dangerous effects of a dissolution
of the Union. I do not belief* H. I tblnk more
highly of the intelligence, m well km of the patriotism,
of the cUixenM of each and every one of the
State* of this Union. What is the use, then, of
spending time and multiplying wordsabnut amendment*
that it seems no two gentlemen understand
eiartij alike 1 I think that the words of the provision
of the Ordinance of 17*7 are pretty well
understood by this time. We know what they
mean. We understand it: and 1 hope and trust
that before this hill is through, we can all hare
the privilege and opportunity of voting for a
proposition which we and the country understand.
After a speech from Mr. Podge of Iowa, in reply
to Mr. Male, a rejoinder by Mr Male, and a
few remarks from Messrs. Berrien and Dayton,
The Senate adjourned.
Wkknksday, M*v V#, 18.'?0.
Mr. Clay, in presenting a memorial frotn
citixeiia of Pennsylvania asking an increase of
duties on iron, took occasion to say that there was
no bo|>e that Congress would or could attend to
any great measure Ull this cjuestion of slavery
was settled.
If we cin make such a settlement, for one, I
shall be disposed to look with care to the interests
involved in the subject of this petition ; and without
attempting to introduce any eitravagant system
for the protection of any of them, I should be
dispoaed to look at them, and I am sure I speak
the sentiments of the hearts of most of the members,
on both sides, I think, of this chamber ; for
I have had?I am happy to be able to avow it or
to announce it to the country?I have had, in the
anxiety to settle these questions connected with
tks institution of slavery, sn intercourse with
ninny of my Democratic friends 1 have known
them better, aud appreciate them more, tbun.

Intercom of the country , and if there be really a
neoeoaity of doieg aomething, not eitrevagant, to

After appropriate remarks from Messrs Rutler,
Hunter, Yulee, Webster, and Oasis of Mississippi,
the usual resolutions were pissed, and the Senate
adjourned.
Friday, May 31, 1850.
The funeral ceremonies on the occasion of the
death of Mr Elmore having been closed, the Senate
returned to the Chamber. On motion, it was
agreed that when the Senate adjourn, it adjourn
to meet on Monduy.
Mr. Pay ton moved that when the Senate meet
on Monday, it be to adjourn till Thursday next.
[The 'reason assigned being to allow time for
taking up the cvrpets and cleansing the Senate
Chamber ]
Mr. Clay and others warmly resisted the motion,
and Mr. Dayton withdrew it.
The Senate proceeded to the consideration of
the Omnibus bill, which Mr. Dayton moved to
postpone till Thursday next.
The question being then taken upon the motion
to postpone, it vu decided in ihe negative?yeas

A mess>ge was received from the President relating
to Cuban affairs, disclosing the fact of repeated
attempts in this country by foreigners to
fit out armed expeditions to Cuba.
Mr. Hale presented numerous anti-slavery petitions.
Mr. Seward presented the report of proceeding
of oitixens of Syracuse, condemning the delay
of public business in Congress, demanding the
admission of California, insisting upon the expediency
of establishing Territorial Governments
with the Proviso, protesting against any fugitive
law not securing the jury trial and hairus corpus,
asserting the duty of Congress to pass laws for
the security of any person from a free Stale who
may choose to visit the slave States on business
or for pleasure, and protesting against all com
promise* in tavor or slavery. Daid upon the table.
Motion to print referred to the Comtnttfee'on

Mr. Seward accompanied the preemption of
the memorial with remark* stating that the meeting
wis* without distinction of party, and that
the Mayor presided
Mr Dickinson eaid it was a mere Free Soil
meeting .
Mr. Webster said that so long as last February
he had prepared a bill amendatory of the present
act in relation to fugitive* from servioo or lat<or.
which he intended then to offer at the proper
time, lie would now present it to theSenute just
as it was drawn up originally.
Mr. Benton introduced a hill to grant to the
State of Missouri a quantity of public land for

The Senate, after the transaction of some unimportant

Douglas. .Chase, Hale, Walker, King,
Cuss, Downs, Butler, Webster, and Berrien, participated.
Mr. Soul# in the beginning of the debate submitted
a substitute, which he wished printed. It
propose* to bound the State of California by 3(1?
30', as its southern boundary, and to organixe the
territory below that line under a Territorial
Government without the Proviao.
The debate on the whole subject was discursive
and interesting, but no progress seemed to be
made towards a concurrence of opinion. The
doctrine of Non-Intervention and the positions of
the Nicholson Letter were drawn into discussion,
and there appeared to be a great difference of
opinion respecting them between I>emocriitic
members from the North and South.
The Senate, without. tAlcing any question, adjourned
at some time after 4 o'clock.

HOUSE OF KKPHESENTATIVKft.
Tumpay, May 28, 18.'?0.
The House went into Committee of the Whole
on the state of tho Union.
Several bills relating to the Territories of
Minnesota and Oregon were taken up, acted
upon, and laid aside with the recommendation that
they be passed. Subsequently, when theCommittee
rose, they were reported, and the House passed
some of them.
A hill to create the offioe of Surveyor General,
and to provide for the survey of the public lands
in Oregon, and to make donations to actual settlers,
gave rise to much discussion.
Mr. Rowlin moved to amend by confining the
donations to whi/r persons
Mr. Sackett made a few remarks ngainst that
motion.
Mr. Thurston, in explanation, said that the
Legislature of Oregon had legislated Against permitting
negroes to ooroe into the Territory, because
they usually went Into the woods with the
Indians, and labored to excite them against the
whites.
Mr. Sackett continued his remarks against
hutting the blacks out of the Territory, and denying
to them the advantages proposed to be held
out under this section to other settlers.
On motion, the Committee then rose, and the
House adjourned.
Wkdnksdsv, May 29, 18f>0.
The House resumed the consideration of the
remainder of the bills in relation to the Territories
reported yesterday from the Committee of
the Whole on the state of the Union, and finally
passed them, it then resolved Itself into Com.
miltee of the Whole on the state of the Union,
and took up the Oregon survey nnd donation bill,
the question pending being the amendment offered
by Mr. llowlin.
Mr. (lidding* opposed the amendment in remarks
which will appear heroafter.
The hour of I o'clock having arrived, the time
fixed for acting upon the amendments, Mr. liowlin
(by arrangement) withdrew his amendment.
Mr. Fitch renewed it, and after a few suggestions,
withdrew it.
Mr. Hackett, renewing it, addressed the Com
raittce to show that the Legislature of Oregon
had no right to proscribe blacks flnch as were
citixens of the United States should have every
facility for, and inducement to emigrate to Oregon.
Mr. 8. withdrawing the amendment to the
amendment. It was renewed bv
Mr Conrad, who spoke for five minutes to
show that the gentlemen from Ohio |Mr. Giddiugsj
had argued in favor of according privileges
to negroes in Oregon which hie own .Nut*
had refused them, lie, however, believed it to
he the true policy of the Union, and more especially
of the Booth, that they should he diffused
ms much as possible. He was, therefore, for permitting
and encoarngliig free negroes to se'tle In
Oregon. Mr. C. having withdrawn the amendment,
Mr. McMullen proposed to renew it.
Mr. Evans of Maryland made a point of order,
viz: ''That no gentleman could withdraw an
amendment to be renewed in order to opeu debite"
The Speaker decided against the point of order,
the practi ie of the House being diff erent.
Mr Evans took an appeal; and the question on
the appeel being put, the decision of the Chair
was sustained.
Mr. McMullen neit addressed the Committee
in favor of the amendment. The remarks of the
gentleman from Ohio were highly offensive. On
s former oooasion, when that member |Mr. Glddiu^sj
appealed to know whether he was without
a friend in the House who would move to permit
hiin to address the House, he (Mr. McMullen)
had dona so on that occasion. In return, that
gentleman had maligned the State (Virginis) he
had the honor of in part representing. Here
Mr. MeM. went on to show that the remarks of
the gentleman from Ohio were highly Improper
and offensive. Having withdrawn the motion to
amend the amendment, It was renewed by
Mr. Evans, who argued for five minutes in its
favor. Whilshe knew that the pretence of the
free-negro race in largo numbers in Oregon
would grievously injur# the Territory, he admitted
that to get them there wee deeirable for the
interest of the Houlh.
Mr. E having withdrawn the amendment,
Mr. Bayly renewed It, and remarked that he
was prepared to show that to put obstructions on
the emigration of free negro*# was a violation of
tha spirit of the Ordinanos of 1787. Virginia
had been induced to consent to tha anaotmsnt of
the Ordinance by tha argument that the Northwestern
Territory would afford a place In whieh
her free negroes ooutd find e refuge.
Mr. B. having withdrawn tha amendment,
Mr. Green renewed It, and spoke for five min#
#
ntes io favor of the restriction proposed to be
; effected by the amendment
I'he debate on this amendment to the amendment
was further continued by Mr. Carter in its
favor, and Mr Hubbard against it.
The question being on the amendment to the
amendment?to restrict the grants of bounty
J land a in Oregon to white settlers and M halfI
breeds of American blood?it wim divided, and
| the Committee voted to insert the word 'white,"
[ therein; and then it was agreed to insert the
words 'American half-breeds," included in the
nTDenduient reported from the Committee on i
Public Lands
The question recurring on the amendment as
amended,
Mr. Jones proposed further to amend the 4th
section of the bill, by inserting after the word
" fifty,'' in line 8th, the word ' three,'' so as to
make it read in the year IKVf. Hut this amendment
was ruled to be out of order ?t that stage of
the proceedings.
Mr. Dunham moved further to amend the
amendment, by extending the grants of lands in
Oregon to all whites who might make a declaration
of intention to become citizens of the United
8tatee, before the 1st of December, 18.M ; which
was agreed to.
Mr. Sackett mo veil to nmend the amended
amendment, by inserting after the word " white
the words, " or colored."'
But the Chair ruled the motion out of order;
and Mr. Sackett having appealed, the decision of
the Chair was sustained. The question upon the
amended amendment being put, it was agreed to.
The Committee arose without coming to any
resolution on the bill. (80 it goes over, the two
days set apart for the consideration of Territorial
at S o'clock, for the purpose merely of adjourning
over till Monday, so that the carpets might be
taken up, and the Hall put in its summer dress.
Thursday, the House met and adjourned till
Friday at 11 o'clock to hear the announcement
of the death of Mr. Elmore.
Fiulay, after suitable remarks from Mr. Woodward,
respecting the decease of Mr. Elmore, the
usual resolutions having been passed, it adjourned
over till Monday.
MO-iuay, J''?UC 3, 1850.
The rules of the House requiring that the
Committee of Ways and Means, within thirty
days after its appointment, shall re|w>rt the General
Appropriation bills, and this duty not having
yet been performer! by the committee, Mr.
Sohenck moved a suspension of the rules to enable
him to offer a resolution requiring the bills
to be immediately reported ; but the motion failed?f?I
yeas, fill nays.
The House then resolved itself into Committee
of ihe Whole on the state of the Union, and took
up the California (.ideation, on which speeches
were delivered hy Messrs Booock of Virginia,
Crowell of Ohio, Colooek of South Carotin i, isnd
Silvester of New York.
