Mr. Cooper, from the Committee on Indian
Affairs, to whom had been referred the charges
preferred against Governor Ramsey, late Su
perintendent of Indian Affairs in Minnesota,
made a report, unanimously absolving him
from all blame and impropriety of oonduot.
Oa motion of Mr. Douglas, the Senate pro
ceeded to the consideration of the Nebraska
bl*Mr. Douglae said, that the friends of the
bill, under the supposition that the opponents
of the ilneasure had got through with their
opposition, had ooneluded to devote from now
till Wednesday next to its discussion, when
they expeoted to have a vote on it on that day
Mr. Chase reminded the Senate that he had
several amendments yet to offer to the bill,
though he would offer no improper obstacle to
taking a vote on it.
Mr. Hunter said that oomplainte had been
made that this question had been thrust upon
the Senate, but it had not been. No man wish
ed or desided to do to, but the question wa?
unavoidable under the oiroumstanoes. It was
tho natural result and oonsequence of the
course adopted in 1850, in the framing of what
are styled the Compromise acts of that year.
The majority in the Senate, and in the House,
and in the oountry, who professed to support
those measures, could not reluse to vote the
repeal of the Missouri prohibition without great
inconsistency.
The Missouri controversy was settled by a
dividing line. The South since that time,
though opposed to it at the time, has always
been disposed to abide by it. In the Texas and
Oregon bills, and in 1850 the South proposed
and stood by it; in the latter two cases, the
North refused it, and voted ?t down. In 1850,
the North allowed a few people upon the Fa
cific not only to be admitted into the Union,
but to take suoh portions of the publio territo
rv as they thought lit, and appropriate them to
their own use. In no other oa* did Longre*
bv aside the right of determining the bounda
rise of a State. The South acquiesced in tb.-e
measures, though it was practically excluded
from every foot of the Territory. In return
for this, they got tho assertion of the right ot
the people to regulate their own domeetio rela
tions. All that was now asked by this bill
was to carry that same prinuiple to other tor
rttory. It wan asking th? North to do nothing
more than lie consistent.
He denied that the Missouri aot was either
a nam promise or a oompaot; it was the act of
the North, and opposed by the great l>ody of
tho South. But if it was a Compromise, by the
subsequent refusal by the North U> reoogmee it,
the South was discharged from all obligations
undar it. h,
He rend the votes on the several propositions
made from 1818 to 1821, showing thai the
Missouri Compromise was the aot of the North,
and not of the South If it was a compact,
how was it that the North had violated it m
1821, by refusing to admit Missouri.
He argued at length the unconstitutionality
of the power of Congress to prohibit Slavery.
The Constitution of the United States, ?b?ve
all other things, secured the equality of the
people of all the States. How could the equsJ
its of the States be maintained, if the neopl"
of one-half of the States were excluded from
the right of use and occupation of the Temto
ries ol the whole nation. .
He oontended f >r the principle of allowing
the people of the Territories the full privilege
of regulating their own domeetio oonocrns
The South would derive no practioal benefit
from this measure, for he had not the ?ightost
idea that Nebraska or Kansas would evw be
come a slave State. He thought tU Jiffoafon
of the slaves now in the country would lead to
no danger to the North, and to the better oon
dition of Inith stave and master.
He at length portrayed the probable future
of this country, and the necessity for peace and
harmony in our National Councils, in meeting
the exigencies of the future. r .,
Mr. Butler then followed m support of the
bill.

my Watches in the United States of America.
April 16, MS. CHARLES F rods HAM.
The undersigned, having been appointed sole Agent
in the UniUd States for the sale of Charles Frodshum s
Improved Timekeepers, would respectftilly call uublio
attention to his extensive and valuable stook or Com
pensated Chronometer Watches, made by Charles
Prodsham, and styled his "New Series." In the
Watches of the new series, Mr. Frodsham has sue*
ceeded?by a more perfect method of compensation,
a more oorroct adjustment in isochronism, and an en
tirely new and peculiar construction of the brain, by
which more power is obtained without inorease of
site?in producing timekeepers of wonderful and un
rivalled accuracy. The great importance of the im
proved Watches is a perfeot regularity of time, under
every variety of climate, motion, and position. So
perfeot are the adjustments, that the most violent ex
ercise?suoh as horseback riding, jumping, Ac?pro
duces on them no sensible oft'eot. They are therefore
peculiarly adapted to railroad purposes.
The sciontinc French critic, Mons. Boraendorf, in
his review of the Great London Exhibition of 1851,
styles the contribution of Mr. Charles Prodsham as
" bearing the stamp of peculiar merit, and as being
the flower of the English sohool."
The British Government have awarded Messrs.
Arnold and Charles Prodsham the sum of ?3,170, for
the excellence of the principle of their timekeepers.
One of Mr. Frodsnam's correspondents writes as
follows:
Loudon, April 20, 1862.
Sia : I have much pleasure in giving an account
of the Gold Compensation Lever Waton, No. 3,335,
you have made for me, and in which I expressly stip
ulated that it should maintain a uniform rate ef going
under every variety of motion and olimate. This it
has done in a most remarkable manner; Its rate of
going for the first six months was five seconds per
month, and.in the next six months it ohanged its rate
a little faster, vis: eight seconds per month, and at
the end of 305 days it was found to be fast of Green
wich mean time one minute and fifteen seconds.
Though I was not led by any previous promise to ex
pect such performance, yet I believe it is only the
usual character of your improved watches, which you
term your "new series."
I remain, sir, yours, respectfully,
Thomas Bartlxtt.
To Mr. Charles Frodsham.
The undersigned has received the following:
Boston, October 6, 1863.
Sir : I herewith give you an account of the re
markable performance of the watch I purchased of
you, made by Charles Frodsham, No. 7,014. Its total
variation for 17 months, by weekly observations, was
but one minute and fifty-five seconds.
Tours, respectfully, Bilxinss Baieas.
To Mr. Simon Willard.
Boston, September 3,1853.
The Compensated Lever W atch I purchased of'you,
made by Charles Frodsham, of London, No. 7,300,
has varied but thirty seoonds from mean time in six
months, by actual daily comparison with your regu
lator. Yours, Ac., Alvin Adams.
Mr. Simon Willard.
The undersigned is permitted to refer to the follow
ing gentlemen, who, among many others, have proved
the excellence of Frodsham's Watches as time keep
ers:

E. 0. Bates, Esq. Geo. M. Thacher, Esq.
F. W. Thayer, Esq. David Dyer, Esq.

The subscriber would respecfully state that the
above Watches are designed and executed by Mr.
Prodsham and himself, especially to meet the de
mands of the American public in the great essential
of perfect time, and that in this and in external
beauty they stand unrivalled.
All orders addressed to the undersigned will receive
immediate attention. SIMON WILLARD,

To those persons who may visit Washington, and
are in want of a boot that cannot bo excelled, either
in quality or workmanship, we would oall their atten
tion to the card of Henry Janney, to be found under
the head of " Washington." Ahandsomo and neat
ly-mado boot is not at all timos a souroe of pleasure
to the wearer, but ofton one of extreme torturo; this
is caused by the bungling manner in which tho boot
is fitted to the foot Mr. Janney has devoted much
of hia time in studying the construction of the human
foot, in order to ascertain how a boot should bo cut
and fitted, that will be perfectly easy to all parts of
the foot. In this he haa sucoeeded, so that it matters
not what may bo the shape of. or tho number of corns
on the foot, hia boot is perfectly eaay. Thus ho has
combined beauty with comfort.
