The National Tntsligencer, in its review OF General
Taylor's Administration" takes up the California ques
tion and remarks with great fppancy. and iii will sx-
cuse US for saying) with not little Jolly
"Bp judging lnm what has been published in California
and written from that Territory the public prints in the
United States has been the desire of President Taylor
this distrscng question by Another mode and that
is by the admission OF the Territories States into the
Unon leaving the people Of each the power regulate
the domestic question Of slavery 10 hem respectively
shall seem fit"
And again.
THAT the administration Of Gen. Taylor will encourage
the admission OF California and New Mexico States
whenever they shall present themselves for admission
Congress with republican constitutions and the requisite
population have every 10 know from the sources
OF information which we have already referred and for
the adoption of OF policy so manesIiy exped-
en wise, patriot and just, think the President and his
administration win be entitled the thanks Of the country
From these two revelations infer that the regency
at Washington have been interfering with the move
men,s OF the people Of California. The people should
have been left to themselves, according TO the theory Of
our republican government They should have been
permitted, too, 10 act for themselves, the peo-
pie of Oregon had to act for themselves, in pre-
pairing their provisional government But so anxious

dice against their act and counteracng their own pur
poses by an ndscree and unauthorized assumption OF
power Instead Of giving them credit therefore, for the
act, we must condemn their bunglng and mischievous
course.
There can be question that the people OF California
would have voluntarily held convention for the pur-
pose OF framing for themselves form OF State or Ter.
rtora government be presented to the next Congress
1t is known that they had taken the naory steps or

That interference therefore, unwise and dangerous
and the good sense of the people Of California should
prevent the mischief which the .advsed course Of the
administration was calculated to produce they and no
General Taylor's cabinet, should have the credit The
writer in the National Iateigencer if ashamed of The
claim which he prefers and afraid OF the consequences
committa puts forth the ridiculous idea that the
newspapers say that General Taylor will not prevent the
admission of California Is that any to praise the
cabinet! Has the administration sunk so low that i
must demand praise for the statements OF newspaper OF
the shores OF the Pacific Are its annals filled with bal
counses so that only claim the public gratitude
because California newspaper says that it will not ado

for admission into the Union, This appeal TO the Cali
