A rpeech was made in the Senate ou y ster day, which, however, was not concluded, that made quite a sensation among the friends as well us the opponents of the Neb.aska bill. It was by Mr. Clayton, who first argued against the Missouri Compromise as aa unconstitution al measure, but one that was adopted to prevent a great catastrophe, the dissolution of the Un ion. He went on to g.ve a history of the de bate and'Conflict in the Senate in 1848, in re gard to the formation of the territories of Ore gon, California and New Mexico ; the proposi- tioii then made by the South to extend tbe Mis- ; souri Compromise line to tbe Pacific ocean, and j its rejection by the North ; and finally, ot his ! proposition to form the territories with a pro hibition against their legislating, while terri tories, upon the subject of slavery, either to au thorize or prohibit it, and to refer the question of the right of any one to take their slaves into them or not to the Supreme Court. This pro position, to which the South joyfully agreed, and which passed the Senate in defiance of the opposition of Mr. Webster, was, mainly through the influence of that person, defeated in tbe House, and the Wilmot Proviso was put iuto the bill establishing the territory of Oregon. This met with decided opposition in the Sen ate, but that body finally agreed to it, and that .bill was passed, leaving California and New Mexico without any sort ot government ; and by the defeat of Walker's amendment to the ap propriatioD bill of that session, the President was left without a single penny to provide for the goverument of those lately acquired terri- at once.

Mr. Brown ndvocatod it. The bill was then postponed and the Nebras ka bill taken up.jhen Mr. Clayton concluded his speech in opposition to the bill, and va followed by Mr. Badger. Mr. Chase urged action upon his amendment allowing tie Territorial Legislature to pro hibit slavery. Mr. Badger hoped all amendments comin"- from the opponents of the bill would be voted , down. He alluded with much feeling to a reso ; lotion by some meeting 111 .hio, whicn h i i been laid on tiie table by the Senat r from O.ii , in I which the supporters ot the bili were viol i e lounced. Much confusion ensued, and a running de bate, in which Messrs Dixon, Chase. Ca.-s, . tuait and Badger participated. Mr. Chase disclaim ed knowiiig anything of the language contained in the resolution referred to. Mr. Stuart, of Michigan, said unless an a mendmeiit, provi ling hat the repeal of the Mis souri Comprimue should not revive tbe old law permitting sla ery in the Louisiana territo ry, were added to the bill, he would never vote for it.

An important consequence of the increasing prosperity of the Atlantic Slave States is the almost total cessation of the domestic slave trade. Slaves are no longer sold to be trans ported to the cotton grow ing States, for the rea son that they are worth more at home. The diversity of occupation which has taken the place of the old monotonous routine of farm labor also improves their faculties, increases their intelligence and materially enlarges their means and opportunities for enjoyimnt. So that w hen the day of emancipation comes, if it j others ever shall come, they will be far better fitted to ! partake of its blessings than they would have i been in their normal condition.

But he now assumed the ground of op position to the measure upou the ground, first, that it was wrong to organize a territory of the first grade where there were no inhabitants who had or could have, because the law of 1834 ex cluded all white persons from this territory ex cept Indian agents, licensed traders, to., to., no interest whatever in the soil. No white man could own one inch of it ; and all who were there, except the lew who were permitted by the law to be there, were trespassers. If the present bill should pass, he said thst tho trespassers, who weie there now, would be he legislators, not for themselves alone, but for hundreds of thousands, nay, millions, who would come after them. It would be they who would decide and determine the character of the laws and institutions hereafter. They could, even before the territory should be admitted as a State, decide whether the future State should be a slave State or a free State ; because, just as the twig is bent, the tree's inclined. If they should have the power to legislate in regard to slavery, which this bill gave them, they could admit or exclude it ; and as it was made a slave territory or a free territory now, so would it re main forever. But he opposed the bill in its present shape, secondly, because it did not carry out the non intervention principle. So far from it, pass this bill and the many beaded monster would be sure to rear his hideous front ere long again in this t apitol. The legislation of the territory was to be subject to the revision of Congress ; and whatever that might be, it would be sure to be called up here and to bring with it all the agitation which it had been the earnest desire of so many patriots and statesmen to suppress. This he was not willing to see, and it was an insuperable objection with him to the bill. He intimated his purpose to move an amend ment to the bill agreed to by tbe Senate in 1848, eleven Senators being now present who voted for it. This would establish a Territorial government of the simplest character; such aa it was tbe custom in early times to establish, until there was a sufficient number of inhabitants interested in the soil to govern the country Sroperly. And be would prohibit the Governor, udges and Council, who should compose the 1 legislative power, from touching the subject of slavery in any way wnatcver. in is, ne con tended, was perfect non-intervention. When the Territory came to be admitted as a State, she would then determine for herself whether she would permit or prohibit slavery. Mean time, the question whether slaves could be ta ken and held there or nut must be left to the decision of the judicial tribunals of the coun try. At this point, tbe hour of half past three hav ing arrived, and Mr. C appearing to be much fatigued, the subject was postponed till to-morrow, when he will resume his remarks. In the House, after a long debate upon a bill granting lands to the State of Wisconsin for the purpose of building certain railroads, in which Mr. Letcher of Virginia opposed the pol icy of giving away the public lands in this manner, that body went into the election of a nrinter, in the place of Ueneral Armstrong, de ceased, and Mr. Nicholson, his late partner, was I elected ..,..11 i i - . ..- tea mat cue clause ueciaring tiie .uissoun .com promise superseded by the acts of 1S"0 was Urn true. He said he had great political and per sonal friendship for the Senator from Illinois, but he must not attempt to put him down. He was not made of stutf of that kind. He could not be dragooned. Mr. Douglas disavowed any such design. Mr. Walker, of W isconsin, condemned the dogmatical course pursued by the fii nds of the j bill, and the assault made upon Mr. Chase, whom he complimented upon his honesty and i excellence of character. He depicted the excite-j inent w hich would grow out ot this bill. I Mr. Chase's amendment was then rejected by j yeas 1U, nays 6b. An amendment of Mr. Badger, Droviding that the repeal of the Missouri Compromise should not revive any former law, was adopted, by yeas 35, nays 6. Amendments were adopted prohibiting Con gress from controlling the action of the local legislature, and forbidding aliens to vote or hold property. arious other amendments were offered and discussed amid great excitement.
