The Minority Report of Mr. P il l s b d b y of T exas against the bill reported to the House by the majority of the Committee on Territories (al ready published iu our Qolumns) providing for the organization o f N ew-M exico, with her ancient and proper boundaries, as a Territory o f the Union, is given in our columns to-day. W e entreat for it the thoughtful attention of every reader. W e ask those who tacitly, obliquely, and not without some tw inges of conscience, connived at th e A n n e x a t i o n o f T e x a s , f e a r i n g i t w a s a b a d business hut hating Clay more than they loved EigliteousnesB, and dreading the overthrow of w h a t v a u n t s its e l f D e m o c r a c y m o r e th a n a N a tional violation of the Commandments, to look upon their work. The consummation now stares th e m in the face. Slaveholding Texas now de mands that T r e e New-M exico shall b e immolated at her footstool, and parades the cloudy promises m a d e to h e r , t h e v a g u e in d u c e m e n ts held o u t to her, by our rulers during the progress of the An nexation intrigue, as the basis of her claim. Look them in the face, milk-and-water A nnexationists ! They concern y o u ! There is no shadow of pretence—as Mr. Pills- bury’s Report demonstrates—for any claim of Texas to N ew-M exico founded upon the ancient !S o f either, upon the participation of the latter in the Texan revolt against Mexic« lent acquiescence of N e or any portion of her p eople in the assumptions of xas. There is not e v en a pretence that our □pie w e r e ever encouraged to settle in N e w - sxico, as they say they w ere in Texas. Not even a Pillsbury pretends that a Texan election was ever held or a T exan process served within what is by Mr. Smith’s bill declared to be N e w - Mexico. It is not even s e t up that ever a single partisan of Texas resided w itl this bill declared to constitute New-M exico. It is -Mexi [thin the territory by New-M exico. I t is not denied that the only expedition ever sent from Texas to subjugate New-M exico to her sw a y was completely captured, demolished and turned over to the central Mexican Government by the N e w - Mexicans. Thei-e is no denial o f the notorious fact that the People of New-M exico, whose fathers held that country before eitherPlymouth or James town w a s founded, unanimously and intensely ab hor thg Tex,a»s and their sw a y , and appeal to the Federal Government to preserve them therefrom. Their memorial is now before Congress, and can not be gainsayed. It is not pretended that a sin gle Texan w a s embodied in the Army of Invasion which subjugated N e w -M exico to our sw a y . Y et Texas demands that New-M exico shall be bound hand and foot and given over to her tender mer cies; and she w ill find partisans in Congress to render h er claim a formidable one. The settlem e n t of this boundary, as w e have already stated, is the great question of the Ses sion. It fixes the destiny of a country larger than New-England, enjoying a beautiful climate, much excellent soil, and rich in mineral wealth. On one side are 'History, Geography, Justice, and the inalienable R ight of Man to self-govem m e n t; on the other Usurpation, Arrogance, and the Lust of Dominion. On one side i s a feeble and inoffensive People, ----- ■ whom w e have subjugated by force and now hold l-yriSM “I- w s .n d ..- f t . know as w ell a s I do, th a t i t is 's t r o n g e s t o b lig a tio n s , d ip lo m a ti c a n d m o r a l, to ; fo tr e a t j u s t l y and k in d ly ; o n t h e o t h e r is a co m m u nity thrust upon us by dark political intrigue a g a i n s t t h e i-eal w i s h e s of o u r co u n tr y m e n , e n t a i l in g u p o n u s a f e a r f u l h e r i t a g e of Debt and Crime, and Bloodshed—and still calling upon us for far ther and farther sacrifices of Interest, F a ith and Honor. On t h e one side is H u m an L iberty ; on the other the ever insatiate spirit o f aggressive Slavery. M en a n d B r e t h r e n ! h o w shall this g r e a t question be decided ? T h e H o u s e Confm Correspondence W a s h in g k ’ The House to-day honored the anniversary of the Battle o f New-O rleans by doing nothing—a dubious sort of honor, in my judgment, but I do not say unfit. L e t every one speak for himself. But first w e had up the Pacheco Slave case, on a motion to correct the Journal of Saturday, so as to show the real state of the vote, namely 89 to 89, instead of 91 Y eas to 89 N a y s as incorrectly re ported. by the Clei’k. The correction w a s duly made, the names of the Members voting each w ay on Saturday being slowly read over, w h en it peared on inquiry that Mr. F a k r e l l y of Pa. voted against the bill and his vote had not been heard and recorded b y the Clerk. His vote being now taken made 9 0 N a y s to 8 9 Yeas, do^eaUng the / [Mr. C h a r l e s J. I n g e r s o l l of P a . who dodged on Saturday, wished now to v o te for the bill, but w a s ruled out.] The Speaker said he had coine to the House prepared to vote on the understanding that there w a s a tie, bat n o w he w a s n o f cMled upon to do so, as his vote, i f against the bill, would of course effect nothing, and i f in favor o f it, would only make 90 to 90, in which case the result would be the same, the h ill failing for w a n t o f a majority. Mr. B o f TS o f V a . w ished the Speaker to v o t e ; so did Mr. T qombs of Ga. who w g e d that in case o f his voting in the, jiffim a tive and so making a tie i t would b e in th e pow er of a Member on either sid e to m ove a. reconsideration; bnt The Speaker rem inded hizh that it had been already settled by the H ouse, on an appeal from a decision ofth e Chair, that a motion to reconsider in c a se of a tie'could only b e - h t id e j ^ h Member Who h ad v o ted N o , ai a %vote*'seme a s amiajprity in neip y e. This decision hi^d k e e n sustained b y the gentleman from Georgia hinwelf. So th e m a tter d ^ p e d , anffthe Faclieco biU w i te l Mr.. S aw yer of Ohi WON, Monday, Jan. 8. I the anniversary c tee prevailed, and that disposition w a s made of it. I apprehend that fiooris it for tliis Congress. It will b e referred back, but loses its place as a Spe cial Order, and will hardly b e reached in time to secoi’e its passage by the Senate. Another struggle for precedence now occurred, several Members wishing to present Petitions, Reports or Resolutionsi, Idfr. G oggin wishing to take up the Postage Reform bill, and Mr. Y in t o n insisting that the first Special Order was the bill to provide for the paym ent o f the n e x t Installments of the money due to M exico under the Treaty of Peace. H e w as right in this, but Air. T oom bs of Qa. sti-enuously denied it, and the dispute not b e ing promptly settled, a pause ensued, duilng which (h a lf p a s t 1 o’clo c k , t h e H o u s e h a v i n g b e e n in s e s sion an hour and a half,i and done nearly half an hour’s work,) M r . ------- (L o co) m o v e d th a t th e C o m m itte e r i s e in order that House do iioto adjourn, t« enable the glorifiersof Gen. Jackson to celebrate the Anni versary of the B a ttle of New-Orleans! The mo tion to rise prevailed. Mr. S t e p h e n s of Ga. considering that, in its present temper and upon so bad a start, the House would do nothing, got the start o f Ms friend oppo» site, and moved a n adjournment. Mr. G r e e l e y opposed it,and asked the Yeas and N a y s, w h ich w e re ordered, and, h eingtaken, stood —^Yeas 120 ; N a y s 70. So the House adjourned. Thus ended the first day of the sixth w e e k of the Session, which is restricted by Constitution to thirteen w e e k s in all. No bill of any importance has yet passed either House—I forget w h ether whether any hill at all has passed both Houses.— None of the great measures in which the People are interested have been even considered.

The Columbia Typographical Society composed of the Journeymen Printers of this metropolis, held their annual festival at B lackw ell’s National Hotel last evening, and a right joyous festival the; think hardly less than tw o hundred, very li made of it. The attendance w a s very large y lik e ly moi’o—and the material F e a s t one of the richest and d aintiest ever served np on such an occasion. There w a s just one drawback: the hour was too late, the company [noit sitting down to the table till about 10 o’clock, but the employment o f many mg- inevitable. A t si m iscellaneously is I (I presume) an hour, eating heartily and an act of hardihood, but one h a rd ih o o d , from which few recoiled on this occasion. The regular sentiments w ere given without call ing for Speeches, and of course quite rapidly, though several o f them w ere w e ll worth an elo quent response. The last, in honor o f ‘W om an,’ was received with especial and emphatic favor by the company. The next called up Father R it c h i e , w h o se ‘ Union w ith the Printers of W ashington ’ w as toasted as a very happy one, to which he responded with hearty earnestness and joyous alacrity. H is remarks w ere warmly received, as they deserved. He observed that he had been forly-Jive years an Editor, and owed to the Press all he had been and was, including the ability to rear in comfort and educate a large family. Col. B e n t o n w a s next called out b y a toast to ‘ T he Father of the Senate,’ which he w a s com pelled by the company to take to himself. H e remarked that h e hadl b een a w riter for the Press nearly or quite as long as the ‘Father of the Press’ who had just spoken—that be had been w riting and written at for the last forty years, and in either capacity furnishing work for the Printers, whose intelligence and capacity he had had m any good reasons to appreciate and I'emem- ber w ith gratitude. H e w a s imder m any obliga tions to them , and h e laid claim to one acknowl edgment; at their hands—that b e had never w il fully shirked o ff his ow n proper labor a s a writer or speaker upon them, but had alw a y s sent them his copy properly prepared—plainly and cleanly written out, on good paper, written hut pn one side, w ith double space betw e e n the lines-^no such abominable hieroglyphics as ‘ T he F a ther o f (he Press’ (Mr. Ritchie) w a s in the habit of'mann- facturing.
