CALIFORNIA AND THE FREE SotbERs.-
The recent news from California has
thrown homh>hel into the cump Of the
free soiIers. BY The accounts, it appeared
that Governor Riley, the Hon. L. Butler
King. and other persons and public men
who went 10 rha, territory, have com
menced very important and apparently
successful movement, Tor the purpose al
organizing State government at once in
that territory. and for being ready al next
session Of Congress to bring up at once
fhc question of the admission u! California
intu the Union, and thus avoid an issue on
the slavery question. This intelligence,
therefore, has thrown The free solicrs in
Ills neiehborhood into slaIe 6f great
alarm ard uepidalion. They are afraid
of losing The only capital they have been
in pussesiua of for some time, and with
which they Lave made SO much uoisc
throughout the Northern States. The
Evening Post is furious at Inc idea that
General Taylor's administration has been
asing its influence for the purpose ofbrIug-
ing California before Congress at once, in
,he shape Of Stale, and no, as terri
tory. Now the cabinet q; Washington
have committed great many errors, aud
Eave given much bad advice 10 General
which they have probably adnii'fih infer
cucs 10 California, and which was open
ly a.owcd ly MI. Butler King, is the best
that could have been pursued under any
circumstances, aud we trust it will sue
coed, notw outstanding the Disappointment
Of The free soilers. The Wilmol proviso
will he entirely thrown overheard when
California Comes be(ure Congress demand
ing 10 he admitted as S,ae, aud settling,
by her own constitution, uhat she will do
about slavery or freedom. The Tree sol.
lcrs will then have TO fall back on The re-.
gular abolition or woolly head platform,
aud come out as an ultra abolition or ami.
slavery party, direction TO which they
eeem 10 he tending. le fast as possible. IN.
