Important from Washington the California Bill in the ‘The Senate passed the bill for the admission of California, yesterday, as we expected they would, by a vote of thirty-four to eighteen—a majority greater than we anticipated, and which showed the desire, by a great part of that body, to settle the slavery question, which has agitated the country so long and so unprofitably. The bill which has thus passed, was introduced by Mr. Douglas, from the Committee of Territories, on the 25th of March ast. ‘The following is a copy of it :— A BILL For the admission of the State of California into the Union, Whereas, the people of Californin have presented constitution and asked admission into the Union, which constitution was submitted to Uongress by the Presuient of the United States, by message, dated Febri thirteenth. eighteen buadred and fifty. aad = .ea due examination, is found to be republican In its torm Of government. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Represen- tatives of the United States of America in Congress arserobled. That the State of California shall be one, and is hereby declared to be oae. of the United States | of Ameriea. and admitted into the Union oa an equal footing with the original States, in all respects what- ever. See. 2 And be it resentatives in C tan United States, the of California shail be entitled to two Representatives in Cougrers Se 3. And be it farther enacted, That the said State of California is admitted into the Union upon the ex- ress condition that tbe people ir Legislature or ot with the primary disposal ot the public lands within its limits, and shall pass no law, and do no act whereby the title of tho United States to, and right to dirpose of, the same shali be impaired or ques- tiowed ; and ‘they shall never lay any tax or asseas- ment of any description “whatsoever upon the pub- lic domain of the United States; and in no case shall non-resident proprietors, who are citizens of tl ted States, be taxed higher than residents; ail the navigable waters within the said State shall be common highways, and for ever free, as well to the in- tants of said State as to the citizens of the United er, without any tax, impost, or daty th ided, That nothing herein ‘contained shall be ig oF rejecting the propositions of California as aot in the ordinance adopted by the e: Jormed the constitution of that Sta te By this bill Califernia is admitted, as far as the action of the Senate goes, with her boundaries as they are marked in the constitution of that State. ‘The bill, however, has to submit to a severe ordeal in the House, before the Senators aud Representa- tives of the new State will be allowed to take their seats in Congress. The Southern members of that body, we are informed, are organizing and drilling their forces in order to oppose that and the other territorial bille passed, or likely to be passed, by the Senate ; but it is to be hoped that moderate eounsels will prevail, and that there will be no more delay than is necessary. ‘The Senate seem determined to push ahead with the work before them. Within a short time they will have passed A bill providing a territorial government for Utah. A bill providing for the boundary of Texas A bill for the admission of California as a State, Jn connection with the territorial question and the slavery ugitation, all they have to do, to wind up the whole afftir, is to pass A bill for a territorial goverainent for New Mex- ico, and- ‘The Fugitive Slave bill And when these are disposed of, nothing of press ‘eg importance will remain for them to legislate upon but the Appropriation bills. We perceive that a bill for a territorial government for New Mexico is made the special order for to-day at twelve o’elock. From the tone of the debates, and the information we have received from Washiag- ton, it is very likely that this bill will be passed to- day or to-morrow. The House of Representatives wasted the day in discussing the five minute rule. The Southera members took an active part in the debate, ag the @mtintory, we suppose, in the game which it is said seme of ther intend to practise, for the purpose of defeating the territorial bills. The Civil and Diplo- matic Appropriation bill was taken up ata late hour, but nothing of consequence was done towards pessing it. By resolution, however, debate on that subject ceases on Friday next We have received sufficient returns from Mis souri to justify us in saying that that State has been carried by the whigs in the recent election The following table will show the members of Congress elected, whige in Italics, Bentonians in rmall capitals, and ante ynians in Roman let- tere, as well as the aspect of the representation of that State in the House of Representatives, for e hal .

We shall be able to give fall retarna in aday or two. One result, however, is certain— Mr. Benton has been defeated, and a whig w take his place in the Senate of the United States We are not at all surprised at Mr. Beaton’s defeat, for bis course during the last two years was very unpopular, and alienated many of his friends and admirers.

Bog cence per | la | tly drowned | Phe Whig Party and the Abolitioniets, ‘The two principa! political parties into whieh the State of New York has been divided for a great number of years, are each making preparations for the election whieb is to take place next fall. Each has called its convention to nominate candidates, and each will, as usual, enter the contest sanguine of success. The following officers are to be elect- ed:—A Govemor, a Lieuwtenant-Governor, 4 Canal Commissioner, an luspector of State prisons, and a Clerk of the Court of Appeals. It is not as important an election as many that we have had; but it is of consequence enough to draw forth all the energies of the two parties. Previous to the duy appointed for this election to take place, the democrats are determined to heal, if possible, the schisms and divisions which have existed among them for a few years past, growing out of the course which Me. Van Buren pursued, for the purpose of gratify ug his revenge fsr not being re-nominated at the Baltimore Convention of 1844, and to purge and purify their party of all abolition- ism and free soil tendencies. It has yet to be proved whether they will succeed; but, at all events, they appear determined to make the experiment. If the movement be successful, they will preaent, neat fall, a solid and unbroken phalanx, as in ticaes of old, and run the whigs very hard, if they do not elect all their candidates aud sweep the State. Mr. Van Buren and Mr. Dix, aad a few minor free soil- ers, will, undoubtedly, continue their exertions to | keep the party distracted. If their counsels prevail, there will, of course, be no union, and defeat may again be their lot. It might be supposed, however, that the dupes of those designing men would have recovered their senses long before this. The democrats having thus determined to heal their feuds and settle their difficulties, the next question is, what are the whigs going todo? They ha ve an abolition tail trailing after them, as well the democrats. ‘They have got the “higher law” ab- olitionists hanging to their skirts. Are they, like the demecrats, determined upon shaking this ea- cumbrance from them, and going into the contest divested of such unnatural and cumbersome com- pany? As yet, we have seen no symptoms of any such action. If they do not so, it will be in vain that they will attempt any organization. They have attached to them a party of abolitionists and ismites whose support is defeat and death to any party, and whose connection with them, heretofore, has injared them vitally. If they do not.cut clear | of the Seward clique, and render harmless the poi- son which is daily emitted by the New York Tri- bune and the clique of Fourierites who surround that concern, the whig party in New York will rae it when it will be too late. That celebrated jour- nal even finds faalt with the bill recently passed by the Senate for the settlement of the Texan boua- dary dispute, and expresses a hope that it will be tinkered and altered by the House of Representa- ves, whea it comes before them, when it cannot but be aware that it receives the approbation of the whole country, and that if it were sent back to the Senate, the chances are that it would be defeated, and the slavery agitation be as wild as ever. With all its afleeted desire to see the country tran- quillized, there is reason to believe that the editor inwardly desires no settlement of the agitation which has estranged one section of the coun- try from the other. Look, too, at the manner in which the sentiments delivered by William H. Seward, the whig Senator, have been re. ceived throughout the country, and the storm of honest and patriotic indignation which they aroused wherever they were read. The clique to which Mr. Seward belongs, glories in those sentiments, which are more characteristic of the Boston school of fanatics, than of the masses of the whigs of the State of New York. Look, too, at the course pursued by Thurlow Weed, the special supporter and puffer general of the same Seward, during the present session of Congress, and the exertions which he used, and is still using, to keep alive the slavery agitation, tg excite the North against the South, and to keep festering the wounds which abolitionism has inflicted on the body politic. The Sewards, the Greeleys, the Weeds, and their colleagues, would sink and de- stroy any party; and if the whig party have not the sagacity to cut loose from such associates, they will only have themselves,to blame if they meet the fate which cominon sense dictates to be inevitable. They ought to learn something by experience. They have seen, within a few days, one of their strongholds wrested from them in consequence of their identifying themselves with the reckless advocates of abolition. We refer to North Caro- lina, where they have suffered a most igaominious defeat; where they have been cut down, as it were, in the house of their friends. The cause of the success of the democrats of that State must have been great and paramonnt, to induce men to forsake the standards uader whieh they fought and won #0 many sucetssive victories, and desert in a body the camp of their opponents, and fight against those with whom they had been so long associated. Local matters may have influenced their action, to a certain but slight extent ; but the principal reason which induced them to take such a step may be attributed, with good reason, to the course pursued by many of the | leading Northern whigs in Congress, in the State | Legislature, in the presa, and at their public meet- ings. democratic party throughout the couatry being ia the main sound on the question of slavery, they sought protection from them, in preference to tigh'- ing on the same side with Seward and others like him If, therefore, the democrats of this State purify their party, and cut off all excrescences between this and the day of election, they will present a strong and imposing front when the time for voting comes around. If the whigs do not adopt the same wise policy, many of their party will seek the ranks of their opponents, as wes the case recently in North Carolina, and defeat and disaster await them ia this State. They have not much time to spare, and if they intend seriously to commence the good work, the sooner they do so the better Tre Loss or Lirr on rie Stone of Love Is- sanp.—The jamentable loes of life which recently eecurred on the Long Island shore, in the wrecking efthe ship Elizabeth, calls loudly for the adoption of some means to prevent the repetition of such a dreadful calamity. The goverament placed life boats along that ceast, but no provision was made forhands or men to use them. The consequence was, that they were useless ithe iahabitanty having declined to encounter the risk of lauachiag them | and attempting to resewe the vafortunate possen- sengers and crew of that ill-fated vessel. Motives | @f humanity would undoubtedly have induced them | to do their best to save them, but we suppose they imagined the risk too great, and therefore declined making any effort. As for their neglecting to save the cargoes af vessels wrecked on that coast, we do not wonder at it. From what we have heard, they have not been treated in the most honorable or praiseworthy maanet. We are informed, by persons residing on the shore, that they never | conld ge*peyment for their services in rescuing | freight from wreeked vessels; and they gave us an instance of the manner in which they were treated on a former occasion. It was in the case of the Minerva, which was wrecked on the same coast about a year ago. A trunk, belonging to one of the passengers, containing fourteen hundred dole lars in money, Was rescued by them at great rick, and delivered to the owner, who not only refased to pay them for their trouble, but actually was so deficient in good breeding as not even to thank them. A great portion of the eargo of that vee eel was also caved by them, but they lost as much time in coming to New York for their pay, waiting here for it, and then retarning, as the whole was worth Itut the recovery of property is of no account where human life isin danger. Every expedient should be reaysted to for the saving of the unfortu- North Carolina became frightened, and the | Rate passengers and erews of such vessels as should unfortunately meet the fate of the Elizabeth. From what we have heard sinee the wreek of that ves- sel, there is very little room to doubt that if there were a few hardy and experienced men on the spot to launch the life boats which the government put on the coast, nota life would have been loston that eceasion. If the sailor to whom the Countess Os- soli loaned her life-preserver, could succeed in reaching the ehore in safety, as he did, surely a life boat could have lived in the sea which was running at the time. But men of sense and expe- rience were wanting. {t may be a matter of opi- nion what is the best measure to adopt to secure the lives ef passengers and crews on such occa- sions; but we think that if a bill were passed by Congress, giving to the people along eur coast a bonus in money for each passenger or sailor saved, it would be attended with success, and save many an unfortunate person froma watery grave. We merely throw out the hint, trusting that something will be done assoon as possible to save the lives of persons wrecked on our coast. Labor Combinations—The Present State of the Working Classes, and the Ballet dex. The position in which a number of over zealous and highly excited laborers have been placed, by wresting from society, by violent acts, that place which it is the first cardinal principle of law to maintain, painfully supplies a fact upon which some valuable hints may not be thrown out in vain. ‘The system of combination among trades is nothing new in the history of society. All the benefits ac- cruing from sech associations have been apparent, and all the evils, as distinctly, have been maui- fested, for the guidance and warning of the public. ‘The most powerful combinations of trades exist in | England, and the history of these associations is | such as no honest man, alive to the true interests | of labor, can rejoice at. The beneficial results of their confederated strength are overwhelmingly mai ked by a tyranny growing out of the very system itself. Any one conversant with the character of the Chartist asseciations—which embrace the operative | classes of England to a very large extent—long | | ago, must have been sickened by the details too frequently published in their own accredited and respected organ, Mr. Feargus O’Conaor’s North- ern Star. Who that has read that weekly journal, for ten years past, has not, egain and again, been awakened to the history of that democratic tyranny in which leaders have throst forward the innocent and artless as government victims? With the ex- | ception of the incarceration of (Connor, for two years, in York Castle, and of a few other leading agitators, before they had learned to eseape the penalties of “conspiracy,” the history presents an unbroken series of punishment of deluded and in- fatuated men; while, on the other hand, the politic and crafty have appeared in Protean shapes as pub- , lic informers, spies, defaelting and absconding sec- | retaries, bankrupts in purse and in character, and, from whom they have been in the habit of drain- ing pence and shillings for victim, defence, and protection funds, of various descriptions. Some of j theee men are now in this country, absconded de- | faulters, or agents of police, who have been driven, by their faithlessness, from the seenes of their | open and duplicities. For aught we Ww, they may be introducing, ia some instan the very same system of attacks against the peace of society, Which have caused their transportation to | this side of the water. We trust it is not so; but we | have too much reason to fear it, because we have | perceived the very same system of leadership in- | volving the heedless and thoughtless as victims of the agitation. | Sympethizing with all that is good in the eman- cipation of labor from tyranny of every kind, while | | we would rejoice et every lawful advantage gained | | by the hard toiling and industrious operative, we | | should but half performa the duty of an independent | journatist, did we not pointeut the dangers which beset all organizations made with a view to the | | improvement of a class. That which we have | most to regret, as involving all other considera- | tions, is what we deem to be the tyranny and despotic spirit which characterize some of the lead- ers of thisfagitation: Grant that great injustice is | done to the men who work for wages—let it be | conceded that they are, to the fullest extent, an abused and badly remunerated class—what is there to be gained by arraying these in hostile attitudes against their fellow men, who, in this country, in nine hundred and ninety-nine cases out of a thousand, have risen from the ranks of labor, | and who ere not yet free from the severity of daily | toil, in which both body and mind are largely taxed? | Can any good result from exciting animosities | between capitalists and workmen, because the | relations between the employer and employed are not fully understeod on either side? Would it not be better to throw aside all acerbity of feeling— ull threats of defiance—all consolatipns of com bined reliance—all cries of bloodshed and redress— all manifestations of insubordination against eustoms | and lew, and, in a practical way, take up the day- | book and ledger account, sift the statistics of trade, | connt heads and hands, look a little into the varied | intestines of consumption, examine the lungs and the heart itself of domestic traffic, and see thereby how the veins and arteries of wealth operate in a country where every man is free to exercise his mind, his ingenuity, his skill, his powers of endu- ranee, or even to turn loafer on his own account, or be fed at the public charge? All these points are worth some inspection, and, till they are exa- mined, in our plain, old-fi practical way, we shall be disposed to doubt that any substantial good lies underneath the warm and exciting rhap- sodies of bloodshed, the overthrow of capital, the | ing uniform rates, or any other paatisocratic theo- | ties which are put in new garments to astonish | such plainly dressed people as like the good old { fashions. i We shall despair for labor, if it exts up its ewan arguments with its own logic. What we de- | sire to arrive at is this—the true nature of the | evil which generates discontent in the minds of ‘| en industrious class of our fellow-citizens, and then to obtain a knowledge of the best means, and the requisite measure of these meane, to bring rder out of chaos, and to restore confidence and prosperity to society everywhere. This appears to | be an intelligent way of going about such business, for we do not like to look for anything substantial in those frothy fermentations which shift and change, bubble and boil, and eveutustly waste , | and threatening explosion. We ere particularly cautions when the bellot-box is rattled, with loud | threa\ d significant defiance. The history of elections bas a vast number of poges devoted to | these exploits, and we have failed to find those admirable reforms, promised in the premises, at- tending the sequence. The politice! capitalist, of | all capitalists, is the most treacherous monster. | He goes up and down the earth, like Satan, eeek- | ing whom he may devour, and wo be to him | who is written in his book—for he ts always sold. He has recently shown his hoof, wings, horas in the Park, and his sealy appearance will not | soom be forgotten. His only cry now, is the ballot- box, just what we supposed, from the outset, it would be. This is to be the panacea. By its mysterious agency, laws are to be changed, pro tection is to be Insured, and paradise is to be given te the faithful. Every reselution, at the recent meeting, is but a step to this grand point, from which we are taught to look forward with fond j hopes for splendid realizations j Ie thie, then, to be the end of the agitation?

Marine Affairs, 2 or Tuwke CHacnxs Sreamens.—Three passengers, ete., for Chagres: The Georgia, one of the regular United States mail steamers; the Empire City, set afloat by the enterprising firm of Howland & Aspin- wall; and the Cherokee. Three o'clock was the hour announeed for their sailing, and long before that time the wharves in the vicinity of the steamers were crowded with spectators, many of whom came to see their friends off tor California, many assembled to wit- ness the beautirul motion of the steamers as they got under way, and many others brought together from mere curiosity.
