TIE NEW STATEs-MR. LEVY OF FLORIDA. So far as lhe action of the House of Representa- tiyes is concerned, two new States, Iowa and Flor ida have been admitted into the Union. Ire bIll w i'll probably pass the Senate without opposition, and thus ma, be regarded as law. For this, great credit is due io Mir. Levy. he able and worthy del- egate from Florida, His exeTtons before the peo- pie oi F i ida have been Incessant, and m Congress he has pursued the matter win p rseseranot wor- th, uf the His shffe the debates of the House exnsperated as they were by explosions oi fanalical zeal against ihe Souh and complicated by sort of contrvance to defeat the admission o Florida, give evidence at every step of Mr. Levy's untring devotion 10 the of his and of his ,horough pepal aon to defend their interests He has done faithful and efficient service to Florida and iu ihe whole South, for which he will receive his ell merited reward.

 The Washington Consultation, remarking upon the passage of the bill, says that strong attempt made sepa Ate the two, and 10 admit elowa first and that if it had succeeded, il is not probable thai Florida would Ehaye been admitted this ;session =.

 We are quite confident such would have beea the result. Our correspondent remarked upon the evi- dences of anli-Souihern feeling manifested in The House during the progress of the measure. The original bill gaye to Iowa an aiea of 60. .00O square mes--lhe House cut i, down to 44,000. The bill provided for the eventual di,sion of Florida into two Stales-lhe House struck ont the provision, |, Florida even saved by small majority from the mutilation of her Constitution, ihe vital o protecting her slave property. All these esi- dences be mistaken, of a hostility the watch to niure and interfere with the South. And if Florida had not been admitted this session, who can say when the objections to her addition would cease or be weakened?

 IL was this danger that especially actuated and in. cited Mr. Levy 10 urge the measure the people of Florida and Congress. As a matter ol present policy, he opposed 10 the erection of a State Government in Florida. It involved an ex- pense lo its maintenance that would weigh heavy on the scattered population of so wide a territory, and which offered many obstacles to rapid settle ment and the accumulation of wealth. But he felt and urged npon the people. that il was not simply question of choice between the present and some future time. Iowa would be admitted at this ses- sion, and a new power given 10 the North--a pre- ponderance in the Senate well the House- for the moderate and generous use of winch we to hang upon lheil mercy. Sucha chance of striking at the Sonh, would arouse and concentrate every element of hostility, with fury that might make the best friends we have at the North, shrink back. IL might well be 2 id, therefore, that the only chance of admission to the Union, was the present Session. This argument, so plausible in itself, carried the day. and experience has shown that it was only plausible, but founded in just appreciation oftle political elements at work.- Charleston Mercury.
