The Washington correspondent Of the Charleston
Courier says that the Northern politicians in this
Congress will avoid any direct act of aggression at
present; but will content themselves with the adj
mission Of California with the article prohibiting
slavery. They will not pass the Wilmot proviso

a compromise on the basis ofthe parallel of thirty

."Ihere is a letter in the city from Mr. Buchan-
an, very strongly recommending that adjustment.
Mr. Benton, who is nov here will support it, as
will Mr.. Clay. No act for the abolition of slavery
