Thereto no hope of a vote upon tho’ Compromise
Bill before the close of the week, if then. How eau
men reconcile it to their consciences and to the
country thus jo consume days, weeks and months!
The vqje upon the Galphto question has made Mr.
Crawford’s friends quite indignant, and some o( the
Georgia memtfrrs are very wiutUyf If there is any
excess of indignation it ol ghtto be upon the other
side. ■ » '•
General B( M. Edney, of Sonm Carolina, has been
confirmed as Consul at Palermo.
We learn from Washington also that* good mnny
unprincipled persons are endeavoring to precipitate
the country into a war with Spain. The good sense
of the Executive will head this effort, but Spain must
surrender the Contoy pri^jnors if she would have
Justice from the United States. 1
The Washington correspondent of the same paper
•ays:
Every body yet asks,T-wh*t Will Col. Monroe do in
case Texas iuvadte Nqw Mexico. 'He has nb-orders
from here to resist tksitwarum, verbal or written This
to'-tis question of the'day. If Col. Monroe docs-
notMng, Texas wiii soon over-nut Npw,Mexico. If
he insists Texas Will hold back.
The Southern members have given over their oppo
sition to tho Appropriation Bills, if such an opposition
was ever resplvedapoa. They now say,—tlie ultra
Ajorttontof them—passthem, and we will help you.
If you will fix a day of adjournment. ‘Pass the Ap
propriation Bills,’ and ‘go homed is now their cry.
The Ultraa believe that before nqxt winter, they can
poascaslhpntcclTssof Nc'wMsxioo; and present a slave
State from Texas to offset California. Hence the
anxiety top dolay.
It to flow ascertained that no Northern Whig Son-
tor but Mr. Cooper of PenD„ will touch the Bill —
Mr. Clay, therefore, rumor ,-uiys, feels uimsetf at lib
erty to make tome concessions, which' will secure
forit more Southern votes, enough to pass it. In
ease this to done ifl^jio Senate, the same "Influences
would unite and pass too Bill in the Houue. There
to no doubt that tnafi>m would pass tho House, if the
South was united upon it All this, However, if ever
brought about will be only after great delays.
Under anch a stale ol facts, you can hope ibr no
adjournment of Congress as yet.: October, the tndi-
