From our last account Of the proceed
ings of Congress, up 10 the 29th Of Dec,
nothing of importance has transpired. The
two Houses Of Congress have been making
the necessary provisions relative to the
State Of Texas, forming collection dis

should expect would come from a whip
Senator like Webster, for instance. In
the House, on the same day, a debate
