The NEW TRRRIToRIEs.-There will be strong
opposition In Congress to the admission of CALI
forna and Dsseret a. sovereign States OF the
Union, and an effort made to organize territorial
governments for all the new territories, including,
probably, Nebraska, as a place of refuge for the
Fourientes. The government may think 1t the
best policy to remove them to the buffalo country,
as the Seminoles and Cherokees have been re-
moved TO set up for themselves to learn the arts
of civilized society. The Mormons having a
system of society of their own, want, also, a
government of their own and therefore ask
te be admitted as a State. Doubtless the
people of California would also prefer to govern
themselves 1t is desirable thing, but Congress
may think differently. The extreme party of the
North would not object to territorial system, If
they can, in every case, cap the climax with the
proviso. The Southern members will insist upon
territorial system and compromise, or a split
in the family. They will oppose the admission of
California, on the ground that the people organ
izng the State are not qualified, not localized, but
mere Adventures, here to-day and gone to-mor-
row, and that the territory must have the re-
qulsite fixed population and the local elements
of State, before 1t can be admitted as such.
They will oppose it on the more important
slavery is excluded, hes south of the Missou-
ri Compromise line. And they will oppose both
the admission of California and Deseret, on the
most important ground of al-that it will destroy
the balance OF power In the Senats, and place the
South at the mercy of the abolitoniss. Deseret will
hardly be admitted as State for want of population
California cannot very safely be refused, though her
boundaries may be reduced, Congress having exer-
clsed this power in every The difficulty of re-
ducing them lies the fact that they the natural
boundaries of great valley and cannot be altered;
and yet, an attempt will be made to run the com.
promise through the middle. Upon this expert
ment, If we are to credit our reports from Wash
ington, /" hang all the law and the prophets" and
the Union besides. The boundary of New Mex
leo and Texas is equally perplexing. What is to
be done We have got the land, how Is it to be
divided Let us wait patiently for Speaker and
the Presidents message. Old Zack may hit upon
something that will do.

MOVEMENTS AMONG THE CRY FATnERs-TERRI-
EtE TEMPEST IN THE TEA Roop.-We understand
that the two boards of the city fathers are IN
state OF awful commotion and excitement, in con-
sequence Of their being tpped by the Mayor, under
a section Of the new charter, which went into
operation few months since. As our readers are
aware, those worthless have for many years past
been in the habit Of Teasing the fat Of the land
drinking the best wines, and smoking the choicest
segars to repletion, in the City Hail. every evening
on which they met The ducks were cooked and
eaten, the wines and brandIes were purchased and
drank, the segars were smoked and carried away
by the hstiu and when the bill was presented it
was punctuslly paid on the authorization Of the
proper committee. Under the new charter, however
all executive authority is taken out of the hands Of
the Common Council, and their power as executive
officers ceased. In blissful ignorance of the sec
ton Of the new charter referred TO, the Common
Council, according to ancient custom, have gone
on and Toasted as usual, and when a bull was. few
days since, presented, to the amount of some nine
hundred dollars for refreshments, il was auhenii-
Gated as formerly. But the Mayors signature and
authorization was likewise necessary, and that
officer refused to attach his sign manual. Without
It the bill cant be paid, and the consequence ~
hat the city fathers in state Of great tribua-
ticn. To use ayulgar, but very expressive saying,
they have been drought up all standing" and the
probability is they will have to foot the bill them
selves, and for the future go without the luxunes
Of the tea room.
The Mayor has done perfectly right in vstong
this measure, and We hope he will persist IN the
course which he has adopted. This is ihe first
benefit that we have received under the new
charter, and it augurs well for that instrument.
We may yet hope for some reforms in the manage
ment Of our municipal ailairs, and If the Mayor
had shown as much sense and frmness at the time
Of the Astor Place riots, the loss of life which fol-
lowed might not have taken place.

Thus it will be seen that at the end of the year

alone, will be greater, by nearly fifty thousand,
than that of last year; and, if we include other
ports on the Atlantic as well as the newly acquired
territory Of California, to which there has been a
considerable emigration from Europe and China,
and from the different States of South America,
during the present year, we are safe in estima.
ting that the population of the United States will,
at the end of the present year, have an increase
from foreign sources, Of at least four hundred
thousand souls. Narrow minded people will be
apt TO decam against this vast influx of foreigners
into our country, but men of comprehensive ideas
will rejoice at it, for they that every addition
which Is made TO our population in tins way, is a
proporionate addition to the real wealth. strength
and industry of the United States. Admitting that
foreigners, as general rule, are utterly ignorant
Of our institutions and government, on their first
arrival among us, we venture to say that there are
but very few Of them who do not know how to
exercise the elective franchise judciousy by the
time they become entitled to 1t, and are natural
lied and, as a general thing, we will say that
when they do become naiuralized, they are as ar
dent supporters Of cur American institutions as
the native born are. The reason OF this is obvious.
They have suffered under the despotism OF the
tons OF Europe, and have felt the iron heel OF OPP
presslen TO such an extent, that to be relieved
from il. they foIsake home, with all Its endearIng
ties and associations, for a foreign land. The con-
trast which they witness their arrival Is SO
great, and the blessings OF liberty are numsr-
Gus and so widespread, that they would fight TO
the last for their preservation But apart from thls
emigration adds to the wealth of the country, ss
any one can see by looking into the matter.
