After these were referred erherwise disposed of,
the House went into ComfniMee OF the Whole on the
state Of the Union--Nr. Tibbaas in the chair-and
the treadbafe subject Of the Oregon notice receiv-
ed additional wear and tear from Mr.. Hoge OF Illi-
nols, IN favor of giving the notice, and from Mr.,
WICK OF Indiana on the same side When he con-
Guided dispute arose for the succession, and in
consequence the committee took up the bill to esah
llsh post offices and post routes in Texas which Mr.
Culver Of New York moved to re. e.commit, on the
ground that money ought not to be taken from the
treasury to be expended in Texas us that State had
deceived the Union by establishing slavery through
out her extent, when the understanding had been
that that part north Of 36 degrees N latitude should
be free. He was called to order and interrupted
several times by Gen. Mcconnell, who, when he
closed, attacked him and his speech in terms of the
most excited vituperation a great portion Of the
House was convuIsed with laughter during Gen
McConnels speech, so much that the reporter
could only guess at its tenor. The committee rose
and the bill was passed.


Notwithstanding that the Oregon SUBJECT is ex-
hausted many members are yet anxious 10 speak orr
it. They have gained much information and CLEAN
ed many bright ideas from their predecessors in
debate which they wish to reterate and have print
ed in speech Of their own, to send to their dis
trcts aud asonish their constituents with their pro-
found research and sublmated patriotism. Persons
can afford 70 be beicose and patriotic at eight dol
lars day, and audiences easily and more hear


ly amused when listening and sitting at that rate,
than if they had to pay for admission. Public lee
fprrc
flowing aud enraptured houses continually, if their
hearers were paid TO attend. Whole sentences,
from the speeches of the earlier disputants, and
from newspaper articles, begin to catch the car,
like familiar voices in tempest. They will be as
good as new, however, for Bunkum.
