House o! Representatives, Wastinaron, February 23,1849. Several fruitless efforts were made to proceed to dif- ferent descripuons of business; and after nearly an hour thus expended, on motion of Mr. Vinton. the House resolved itself into a Committee of tae Waole on the State of the Union (Mr. White in the chair) and took up the bill making appropriations for the SUPPORT OF THE POST OWFICE DEPARTMENT. Mr. Govein offered an amendment as a substitute for the bili regulating postal charges, and making appropriations for the service, He suid that it not only Tegulated the rates of postage, but included the provi- sions of the bill already reported by the gentleman from Obio, Mr. Vinton rose to a question of crder; it was not competent for the gentleman to offer such an amead- ment. ‘The Cuainman decided that the amondment was not in order. Mr. Gocain then proposed additional sections: that, hing aftertbe 30th of June next, ail letters not we more than half an ounoe, shall pay a postage of thr cents; when not pre-paid, five cents; newspaper to be obarged by weight, and $750 000 appropri to tupply any deficlency which may acorue to the reve- Bue in consequence of euch reduction, Mr. Vinrow again raised question of order, and the chairman acquiesced. Mr Cocein appealed trom the decision. Mr. Asumun rematked that this is the only opportu- nity that the friends of cheap —. will nave. The question was taken, and the decision of the Chair was sustained— 80, noes 40. THE TEKMITONIEO—BLAVERT, AND 80 FORTH. Mr. Tyanen, of Illinois, eaid that as this was perhaps the last time that hi 8 would be heard in this hail, rersive of some be the duty of the present Congress to provide a go- vYernment for each of those territories, and for this he had several reasons—first, by treaty stipulations we bave bound ourselves to the imbabitants of those ter- ritories to furnish them protection antil such time as they may be admitied into the Unionas States. Many propositions bave been brought before Congress, ming to this uit. We bave had territorial bilis, and bills which proposed to admit those territories inte the Unien as Stat Be for one was decidedly in fa- vor of givirg to them territorial, and not State gover: ments. It is well koowa to every member that there are now people in the territories who emigrated from al) parte of the Union. They have gone there, many of them,to take up permanent abodes—others to ama: fortunes, and toreturn. But would it be just to these people, and te our friends and brethren, to impose on trem the burden and ex, of State govermments? yet houses to shelter laste ot th of State government?—burdens never betore thrownon ‘any people without their consent. Mr. TaLiatavae rose to @ point of order. The bill before the House makes appropriations for the post office department, and the gentleman has givem notice that be 1s going to dicouss the question of slavery. T Houre bave heard eneugh of this; and whether the buriness was to be suspended of this kind. The Cuaraman decided that, according to usage, the gentleman could proceed. Mr. ‘Yacumavce appealed from the decision of the Chair. Mr Stuart, of Michigan—I ask for tellers, Mr Tatimaoce—I am for the reading of the rule. The Cuainman—There is no rule. (Ha! ha!! Mr. Kavrmax—I move that the rule be read. | Mr Evans, of Maryland—The thirty. tiret rule. The question was taken, and teliers were not or- dered. T Clerk read the rule, vir.:—“ When any member In about toe in debate, or deliver any matter to he ehall rise from his seat, and respeotfully to Mr Speaker, and shall confine hic- telf tothe question under debate, and avoid parson- ality.” Several voices—‘ That's enough,” “ The rule says‘ in the Houre,’” + Go on, go on” 4 he decision of the Ubairman was sustained. Mr Tonnen expressed his thanke forthe kindness of the committee. Mr. McC.ausanp, by permission of his colleagu id that if Congress should pases iaw enabling the people of Calitoraia to form a State government, it was for the people to accept or to reject the law it was not obiigatory on them He would vote for such a mearure, to let the people there come into the Uaion. Mr. TURN®x was aware that there are many persons in favor of State governments for the territories at this me. He was not vain of his qualities, but he be.ieved that if prejudices were entirely laid aside and stripped of external, he could convince every member thet it Je not proper to create State governments for the terri« tories. There are, b that th are not able to reovive sound arguments. But drersed himeelt to nis consti- tuents and to t j let the tert of time bear ht or wrong. He was not aware that there was any large or respectable portion of citizens of New Mexico of California whe wished to come ino the Union as States. Conording the fact that tne people bave the right to organize State governments ‘and spply for admission into the Union, he would ark hia colleague whether the peopie of New Mexico and California have met in con: tate governments in favor of this, for the of avoiding the vexed question of slavery. It ht thet i¢ shoud be dodged in any way. It sbould be mot boldly, fearlestly. So long ws slavery tends to array one rection against another, it should be settled some way or other; it threatens the perma. nenee of the Union.

He, however. expressed the hope that the sentiments of the gentleman may have due force and influence; and that our difficulties may be adjusted While be raid this, he trusted that the Scuth would not require that the North should agree to a further extension of slavery. To restrict it was in the spirit of the Revolution, and in couformity to the lib-rties of our country. He believed that the North would go with the South, if the South would ont ask ber to extend slavery, which is in direct opposition to our free inrtitutions, He then proceeded to speak of the treaty with Mexico, contrasting it with the pro- tocol. aad in condemnation of the President in con- nection with it, Mr. Koor moved that the Committée rise.

Axsany, Feb. 24, 1849. Affaws in the Legislature. Spring has come suddenly upon us, after several weeks of the most intensely cold weather that I have ever experienced. The temperature is now at a charming altitude, the streets exhibit signs of animation once more, and the Dutch belles have once more quitted their weather-proof prisons. The election of Wm. H. Seward, of the village of Auburn, to the office of U. S. Senator, seemed to act upon the Legislature as a sudden palsy or paralysis acts upon the human frame. Since that remarkable event oceurred, the two houses have lost their identity. They remind us of a hospital for foundlings, when those interesting objects are in the act of “teething,” or in the act of cutting their teeth. The members are fretful and ab- stracted, and apparently indisposed to resume their legislative duties with the same alacrity with which they entered upon them. For two weeks past, it has, in fact, been difhcult to get a quorum of members together in either house. lobserve in the Jerald of this morning, a tele- raphic despatch from Albany, anaouacing that homas Olcott, Cashier of the late Canal Bank of Albany, has just been Cae ot the Me- chanics’ and Faimers’ Bank of Albany.
