CnlForNi. AND the FREr SourEs--The recent
news from California has thrown a bonib-sh,li
into the camp Of the free solers. by the last
counts, II appeared that Governor Riley, the Hon.
I. Butler King, ana other persons and public men
who went to that territory, have commenced a very
important and apparently successful movement for
the purpose oforganising State government nj once
in that territory, and for being ready at the mex,
pesson Of Congress, to bring up at once the qles-
ton Of the admission Of California into the Union,
and thu. avoid an issue on the slavery question.
This intelligence, therefore, has thrown the free
sellers in this noighboIhood into a state Of grca,
alarm and ,repida,ion. They are afraid Of losing
the only capital they have been in possession Of

much noise throughou, the Northern States III,
Ereninc Post is furious at the idea tha, General
Taylors administration has been using its influ-
ence for the purpose of bringing California before
Congress. at once, in the shape Of State, and No;
as a territory. Now the cabinet at Washington
have committed great many errors, and have
given much bad advice 10 General Taylor but az
Tar as We can Sec the policy which they have pro-
badly adopted in reference To- California, and
which was openly avowed by Mr.. Butler King, is
the best that could have been pursued under any
circumstances, and we trust il viii succeed, not
