The important bill, Introduced iuto the Senate in March last, by Mr. Douglas, and which passed that body on Tuesday week, hy the decisive vote if 34 yeas to 13 nays, is s follows, all the a- nendmenls offered, except the one embraced in the liird section, having been rejected : Whereas, the people of California have present il a constitution and asked admission into the U- nion, which constitution was submitted toCongTees jy the President of the United States by message, luted rcbruarv 13th 1890, und which, on due ex imination, is found to be republican in its form of government Be it enacteil hy the Senate and Uoii9eot Kep- resentatives of the united states ol America tn Congress assembled, That the State of California shall be one, and is hereby dechred to be one, of the United Mutes ot America, and admitted into ihe Union on an equal footing with the original States in all respects whatever.

The following is the PROTEST, submitted by the Senators whose names are signed to it, against the bill for the admission of California in the union. The question upon Its reception and spread upon the Journal was decided In the negatttel -. We, the undersigned Senators, deeply impressed with (he importance of the occasion and with a sol emn sense of the responsibility under which we are acting, respectfully submit the following protest against tlie bill admitting California at a State into thit Union, and request that it may be entered upon the Journal of the Senile. We feel that it U not enough to have resisted in debate alone a bill to fraught with mischief to (he Union and the States which we represent, with all the resource! of argil ment which we possessed, but tlwt h is alto due to ourselves, the people whose interests have been en trusted to our care, and to posterity, which even in its most distant generations may feel iit consequen ces, to leave, in whatever form may be most sol emn and enduring, a memorial of. the opposition which we have made to this measure, ami of the reasons by which we have been governed. . Upon the pages of a journal which the Constitution re quires to be kept so long as tlie Senate may have an existence, we desire to place tlie reason!, upon which we are willing to be judged by generations living and yet to come, for our opposition to a bill wnoee consequences may oe to uurauie ana por tentous as lo make it an. object pf deep in to rest to all who may come after us, ,j . m t . . We have dissented from this bill because It gives the sanction of law, andf thus imparts validity to tlie unauthorized action of a 'portion of the inliabi tents of QH.lifornit.by which an odious discriinina (ion is made against the property- of the fifteen slavehoUing States o( the Union, who are thus de prived of that position, of equality which the Con ttitution so manifestly designs, and which consti tutes the. only sure and stable foundation on which hit Union can repose. ,.,, , ( ; Because the right of the slaveliolding State to common and equal enjoyment. of the territory of the Union has been defeated by a system of met' sure which, without the authority of precedent, of Uw, or uf tlie Constitution, were manifestly con trivJ for tkut purpose, and which Congress must V sanction nud adopt should this :bil.l become a ). i In sanctioning thin system of. measure, (hit Gov cnimem will adaul.thal the. inhabitant of it tet ritoriec, whether porinaoont or transient, whether ( lawfully or suUwfiillr aocupying die same rosy ! torm a omie wuoain mi previous amnoriiy o law.

It will also admit that the convention, thus called into existence by the E- utive, may be paid by him but of the funds of the United States without the sanction of Congress, in violation not only of the plain provisions of the Con stitution, but of those principles of obvious propri ety which would forbid any act calculated to make that convention dependant upon it ; and last, but not least in the series of measures which this Gov ernment must adopt and sanction in passing this bill, is the release of tbe authority or the United States by the Executive alone to a government thus formed, and not presenting even sufficient evidence of its having the assent of a majority of the people for whom it was designed. With a view of all these considerations, the undersigned are constrained to believe that this Government could never be brought to admit a State presenting itself under auch circumstances, if it were not for the purpose of excluding the people of the slaveliolding States from alt opportunity of settling with their property in that Territory. Because to vote lor a bill passed under such cir cumstances wonld be to agree lo a principle which may exclude forever hereafter, as it does now, the States which we represeht from all enjoyment of the common territory of the Union j a principle which destroys the equal rights of their constitu ents, the equality of their States in the Confedera cy, the equal dignity of those whom they repi ,sent as men and as citizens in the eye of the law, and their equal title to the protection of the Government and the Constitution. . ' , ! Because all the propositions have been rejected which have been ntade- to obtain either a recogni tion of the right of the slaveliolding States to a common enjoyment of all the territory of the Uni ted States, or to a fair division of that territory be tween the slaveliolding and non-slaveholding States of the Union ; every effort having failed which has been made to obtain affair division of the territory proposed to be brought in as the State of California. But, lastly, we dissent frem this bill, and solemn ly protest against k passage, because, in sanction ing measures so contrary to former precedent, to obvious policy, to the spirit and Intent of the Con stitution of the United Stales, for the purpose of excluding the slaveliolding States front the territo ry thus to be erected into a State, this government in effect declares that the exclusion of slavery from the territory of the United State Is an object so high and important as W justify a disregard, not only of all the principles of sound policy, but also of the Constitution itself. Against this conclusion we must now and forever protest, as it Is destruc tive of the safety and liberties of those whose rights have been committed toonr care fatal to the peace and equality of the States which we repre sent and must lead, If persisted in, tu the dissolu tion of that Confederacy in which the slaveliolding States have never sought more than equality, and in which they will not be content to remain with leSS. :' -J.

The poop le of the State of Georgia have good and sufficient cause for exultation, In vew of their iron mines, gold mines, cotton factories, cotton crop, internal improvement, educational advan tages, and general prosperity. Well may the Rr eorier ask," Who would leave Georgia to go any where else i" It is a rare circumstance now to meet a Georgian moving to a new country. . Emi grants may be met from all the other States east of us, but it is a rare circumstances to meet a fam ily from Georgia. ' Her citizens are contented at home. By diversifying her labor, developing her varied resources, and drawing on her immense mechanicaj power and mineral wealth, Georgia has opened up to her people a future of such promise as to fasten them with hooks of steel to tlie soil upon which they were bom. She has adopted a policy which every State south of Mason and Dixon's line should hays acted upon years a go. But it is not ye( too late, and we trust to tee a like policy engrafted upon the legislation of Ala bama. A very fair beginning was made during the session of the last legislature, but that body stopped short of what should hays been done The State should have assisted, with her credit and her money, the two important lines of railroad, the Mobile and Ohio, and Alabama and Tennessee, tn o manner so effectital that the final completion would bave been insurred within the coming three years, Georgia adopted a similar policy, and we have before our eyes the result. Thousands of citizens sre annually . leaving Alabama, who, had these lines of railroads been completed, and her vast mechanical power and mineral wealth fully developed, would never have dreamed of- leaving her toil. :.; .. .,: , ;. To secure a rapid increase of population, of wealth, of comforts of general prosperity and gen eral intelligence, our labor and capital muBt be diversified. Ifonr citizens are to remain at home contented and happy, we must add to the culture of cotton, railroads, cotton-factories, iron-forges and foundries, coal-mines, &c, &c, thereby giv ing all profitable employment and adequate com pensation for their labor. Tbe Georegia papers are fully justified in shouting Hurrah for Geor gia ! Hear the Milledgeville Recorder : From a table of the railroads of the United we notice that the total miles of railroad is 7,677 and that Georgia is the third State in extent of this improvement.' New York is first, having 1 ,306 miles qf railroad ; and Georgia third, having 655. Pennsylvania comes next, having 613 and soon, Hurrah Tor Georgia I She ha more col leges and more students attending them than any other southern state,, mors manufactures of var ious kinds, more railroads, and will soon have mare plank road than any other.

The polite adinltter of the band-boxes found, however, one anniversary quite sufficient without any returns. , Now, we consider it somewhat hard to drag at each remove such a very perceptible chain ; it might as well have been wreathed, or gilded, or even pinch-backed. A friend nf mine, Mrs. Cald- well, does the thing much better. We have a do mestic dialogue in Curton street by way of exam ple to the rising generation. "I have been at Baidoc's this morning, my lore," said Mrs. Caldwell, while helping the soup, "he has two such lovely Sevre table portraits of Loin XlVth's beauties, yoa most let me have them for the drawing room, they are such loves." t. , " I really do Wonder, ." exclaimed Mr, Caldwell, n his most decided tone, "what you can want with anything more in the drawing room. I am sure that it is as much as any one can do to get across them as it is ; I will have no more money spent on such trash," , This fish is capital, the sauce is a clef Ja'urre exclaimed the lady hastening to change the dis course ; do let me recommend it. Dinner proceeds, enlivened by a little series of delicate attentions on the part of the wife. One thing is advised ; another, which the is well a- ware is her husbands aversion, playfully forbidden with a "My dear Francis . you are so careless of yourself consider fcj horreurt de la digestion." Dinner declined into dessert, and Mr.. Caldwell. eats walnuts, peeled "By no hand as you may guess, -, But that of Fairly Fair," , , ; alias Mrs. Caldwell's very pretty fingers. To wards the middle of his second glass of port, he perceives that there are tears in his wife' soft blue eyes which become actual sobs as he pro greBsed in the third glas. "I see how it is Laura ; well you shall have the tables." . .. '.);'.., r "The tables j" cried the lady, with an air as the school-boy said of ancient Gaul, quartered into ' three halves, of disdain, wounded feelings, and tenderness ; "I bave really lost sll wish for them. It was of yon Francis that I was thinking. Good God ! can yon weigh a few paltry pounds gainst the pleasure of pleasing your wife ? I see I have lost my hold on your affections. - What have I done ? , I, whose life was but one happiness, that of pleasing you!", . ... t - We will not pursue this subject to its last con jugal close of tears and kisses ;, suffice It to tay, that the next day the tables are sent Jiome .; not given, but only excepted as a favor. Now this is a beautiful way of doing business. We seriously recommend its consideration a study to our lady .reader. , Scolding diet at the old ruldle says, "anything" it what- ( ' ( ., .,, "Many a man who basawife, , ( , Submits to for a quiet life." . I But, fair half of the world, out of wliose very re mains the rose, as the eastern proverb has it, wa formed at the creation flattery, that honey of, the heart, is true art of swiy.

Jones, a Taken in asd lawyer from Illinois, and a membfr of tlie Legisla ture of that State, arrived in Mew York on Sunday, and, after, taking lodgings at LovejnyV, sauntered forth about nightfall to have a glimpse at tiii town. In Church street he was acosici by a notorious nymph of the pave who so excited 'Jtlie amorous propensities of tlie Illinois law,-niaker ssto get him to entera den of infamy in Thouias street. Tucut the story short, (after the fssliion of James) this sequel, gentle reader, is soon told. Jones wm fieecrd of $275, every penny be had in the world.
