SEN A"T E .
Mr. Seward ably reviewed the whole ques-
tion of the admission of California and gave
his reasons at length why she ought to be
admitted. The perpetual unity of this em-
pire be said appeaid to him to hang upon
the discussion of this day ard hour. Cali-
fnrmn was already a complete State and
could never again be less than that. Noth-
ing prevents her admission but want of agree-
ment among ourselves. It was insisted that
the admission of California should be ctter.d-
ed by a comnrpmisc of the slavery question ;
he was opposed to any such compromise. In
conclusion he would vote for the admission
of California directly without constitution
and without qualification or compromise.
n u u o ii .
After some unimportant business the
House went into Committee of the Whole
nn the President's California message Mr.
Stanton of Kentucky having the floor. He
contended that the Wilmot Proviso is in di-
rect opposition to the constitution; that citi-
zens have a right to take their slaves to new
territories. He would vote for the admission
of California with suitable boundaries pro
vided a provision be made for the balance of
the States to be aciinitica.
Mr. Fowler was in favor of admilling Cal-
ifornia with her present constitution.
In the Senate Mr. Bradbury gave notice
that lie would on Saturday next move to
take tip his resolution in relation to removals
from "office by the present administration.

SENATE.
Mr. Baldwin accepted Mr. Webster's
modification; he thought no practical results
would be had from dbyi'erics of resolution;
he was satisfied that the only proper cottrSc
ttould be to keep the question of the admis-
sion of California distinct and separate he
was prepared to vote for her admission just
as she came.
Mr. Cass coincided with .Mr Clay's opin-
ion of a select committee and looked upon
it as one more chance for a settlement oi the
question although he had but little hqpbof
such a result He complimented Mr. Foote
and said he had given an exhibition of mor-

' Mr. Webster has spoken. lie had risen
1 es he said to speak for the Union and no-
1 illy did he acquit himself of the task. On
no previous occasion was more interest felt
in any speech. J lie elite oi me country
were present. Distinguished strangers past
members of'tho Cabinet foreign ministers
high officers of the Government and a bril-
liant array of ladies thronged the Senate
Chamber.
There had been much anxiety and man)
contradictory reports! as to Mr. WclistcrV
views but it was my belief that he would do
something that would surprise the country
He had not fctudied the constitution and ex-
noiinded its principles for foity years for

uttcily discarded and contemned the Wilmot

proviso; Jic enforced the obligation of the
aiatcs to carry miu cuuei uiu tuiismuiiuu.ii
stipulations for the surrender of fugitive
slaves; he insisted upon the obligations of
the Government to fulfill the compact Willi
Texas in the articles of annexation for tlic
creation of new States from her territory
not exceeding four in number and as slave-
holding States. As to California and New
Mexico he wanted no law as to slavery ex-
cept the law of nature and climate.
In regard to territorial governments and
the boundaries of California he did not pro
fess to treat of them but would do so when
the prdper time carivc.
It Was a noble and hazardous but I trust
not in th'c end a self sacrificing speech. I
trust that the Northern conservatives will
.vet suppoit him. The ultra men arc excess-
ively indignant; the Western men for the
most part support him. The Southern men
vcre delighted and especially the Southern
Whigs who were proud of this vindication
nf the principles of their Northern compa-
triots. Some of the Northern tneri both Whigs
and Democratcs say that it will have a po-
tent effect on the North and do 'more good
than till that could be done in any other way
to stem the tide of radical opinion among the
Northern people. If Mr. Webster cannot
breast the current no one can.
It is to be rcmaikrd that not a single con-
servative speech ori this subject lias yet been
made in the House of Representatives by any
Northern man; nor was Mr. Webster sure of
any support there from the Eastern men.

There has been a great public meeting of the
Democracy in Lehigh county Pennsylvania by
which the following strong-sense resolutions were
unaiuiuoucly adapted :

ple in a government like ours frequent 1
to assemble together to consider what
maybe necessary to promote the public
srood.and to frcel v declare their sentimen's

more opecially so when the course of
those men and the measures which tluy
advocate tend to disorganization and ruin.

J inaiwc rcgam our p.eMi.i
form of government as the best ever de-
vised bv the ingenuity of man and look
upon every fanatical agitator who has
got into power and place by demagoging
about abstract questions as a disturber of
the public iicacc. and as deserving the
contempt of all honest men who seek to
enjoy the prhileges and benefits which
such a government confers.
Jicsoicaf Tliat it is a matter of serious
reflection and one which should arouse
public attention that a few fuclionists
should be able to delay the legitimate
business of the people of this nation by
the agitation of the slaver' question
which was settled by the framers of the
constitution.
ilesolcal That we regard the Proviso
borrowed by Wilmot as a measure got
up by small men who are governed more
by their passions than ihcir judgments:
and abolitionism its twin-sister as a thing
of British origin got up to destroy our
present lorm of government and arrest
the progress of constitutional liberty.
Resolved That we do not believe that
tlie.character of the population which will
emigrate into any portion ol the territory
acquired from Mexico can be determined
by Congressional action and therefore
the cry of free-soilism is as unnecessary
and uncalled for as it is devoid of patriot
ism.
Resolved That as Pennsylvanians we
have much at stake and it is our duly at
this eventful crisis to speak and act ; for
should slavery be abolished; and three
millions of slaves now id the southern
States be emancipated' it would be an
evil daj for Pennsylvania. Bordering as
she does on two slave States she would
soon be overrun with an idle; worthless
blade population to underwork' our labor-
ing citizens and fill our jails and alms-
house's. Resolved; That as a portion of the dem-
ocracy of Pennsylvania; we repudiate all
connexion with David Wilmot and his
Proviso of which contrary to the fact he
assumes to be the father. He brought it
forward to embarrass the administration
of James K. Polk in a proper prosecution
ofthe"vvar He opposed the electiori'o'fj
