Mr. Cray rose. and said that he desired to call the attention of the Senate and the country to the charac- ‘tcr and nature of the petitions presented by the Senator from New Hamp-hire (Mr. Hale). They wore Printed pieces of paper, cmbracing every variety of subj: ct included in this question of slavery. and were Prepared at rome common centre. and scattered all over the country for rignatures. and then returned here as evidences of popular opinion. He wished to ‘expore this deception, Some ef there printed heads of ‘titions had found their way into his own State. He ad received seme of them, a few days ago from Lewis county, Kentucky, He chjected to such » ramified scheme of row: this body. or the country. as to the opinion of the country.

Mr. Tas. from the Committes on Commeres. re- ported inet the restoration to the Revenue service, Of the officers discharged some time since, which re- port was concurred in. MR, HELL'S RESOLUTIONS. ‘The Benate resumed the consideration of Mr. Bell's rerolutions on the subject of Slavery which Mr Foote had moved to refer to a Select Committee of Thirteon, with instructions to endeavor to re some plan of compromise fir the settlement all the questions arising out of the institution of rlavery. To this mo- tion. Mr. win moved an amendmont pro- viding that the question of the admission of Califoraia rl net be coeacoet elthike questions reported upon. The question having been stated pnts, stated on the lattor r. Bunton briefly addressed the Senate, elting in support of the position assumed by. him t Hixty, gears of logisation, Congress had never bofore coupled the admission of 'a State with any other quoe- ton. Mr. Cav replied. again citing the case of Missouri, tacts — at im | and proei with komo remarks, for the purp a: of showing that no indignity or injustice would be done to California. by referring her case to the eclcet oom- mittee. There were few points in which Congress bad | any right to touch the question of slavery at all and | of those few there were several which he wouid not | touch himself. and would not. therefore. send thom to any committee. He would never consent to cou i a with slavery. in any way. Ife also road the act for the ndmission of Missouri, and commonted upon the action completing that measure. Mr. Darron opposed: the connection of (ul\fornia with the distracting question of slavery. Was it oot an act of injustice to California. to thus conaset hor, and thus hazard the defeat of her admission in the hepe of bringing in. with her. and earrying through, & more objectionable measure. thus making hor a sort of suger plum, in the expectation that she will eweeten, in some degree, a bitter dos, and thus en- able certain individuals to swallow it? California had rights upon this floor. and no such use as proposed should be made of her. The proposition was unjust alto. to senators who desired to vote for California uad who did not desire to be forced to reject hor or elie vete for measures which they believe to b» improper Mr. Kino adv led the propriety of connecting two au . He contended that California ht to be received here, and that de- lay in that act. for the purpose of securing tho rights the States of the Union. was proper, and could not be objected to by her. She was a territory. and ovuld have no rights as a State until Congress had made her | a State, After some remarks on the general question, | he expressed hia attachment to the Union, and the | hope that it would be preserved by a #pirit of concilia- tion hd compromise. Mr. Dovctass, as a test question, whether the Senate would raise the select committee or not. moved to lay the whole subject on the table. but withdrew for Mr. Wensrzn, who exprossed his readiness to vote for the committee. but he could not commit himself | to support any measure which shall make the adinis- sion of California dependent upon any other moasure. He thought that the importance of the precedouoe of measures, was much overrated. If Mr. Douglas should get up his State bills, it would be competent for any gentleman to move to amend. by inserting territorial government, and vice versa. The queston upon cither or both subjects could not be avoided. | Tu conclusion, he said that he was ready to vote for the admission of California. as an independent measure. and that he would vote for the committee. as aa expori- ment. in deference to the leading men in the Senate, w 4 discussed the question, rather than from any confidence in its results. m >di- plan of eom; mise,” the words * scheme of adjustment." 3 After rome observations by Mr. Hace and Mr. Foorr, Mr. Bewron submitted some additional remarks. to show that if the subject of California should be sent to the committee, her case would have boen already rejudged. and conten that the sense of the nate. upon the direct subject, should be taken now— that manifestation of the real sentiment be obtained while the whole was on Ifrent to the committee. and back country s¢ a disorganiser and factionist. farther objected to the lajystion of any course by the — the effect of wi (acne of to ba aa nia buy off, or pay down, uding avery from Le Lean, ptety Clay. hy de- nied dents in bis opposition to mi other questions. asserting which have tm his course by any cousid- eration with the Introduction or exclusion of slavery into ( ‘alifornia.

A mara mecting of the Varnishers was held on Wednerday ae at Mechanic's Hall, No. 170 | Herter street. with the view of establishing au as- sociaticn ofthe same craft. The German varnishers held two prcvious meetings for the same purpose. but finding themselves too few in number, and being there- ey, ‘ble to form an organisation, they requested the attendance of all thoee who are employed in the same Line of burinese, whether Germans or Americans; and accordingly a goodly number assembled at the meeting i tion.
