ficers in Free Soil received the news Of the
Prohibition of Slavery in California with n
dissatisfaction they could i'll conceal. They
were pnlpnhIy disconnected and chngrined.
Some of the bolder among them began at

MA MS n State, and to throw out hints that
Congress might better put her back into Ter

ruse to reopen the Slavery Controversy aud

this course.
But Mr. Calhoun and his cohort urc com
