In the Senate, Clemens California resolutions 1t
vas q most ridiculous business. when Mr.. Truman
Smith acts the organ Of the Cabinet he should not
tell too much Mr. Clemens OF Alabama, is young
gtntlsmsn Who will get wiser from the good advice
sven him by Mr. Dickinson. The resolution which IL
Iassd closes with the la portrait cali for the reasons
OF the President Tor ,he opinion expressed In his
cage that New Mexico, well California, will at
distant day, apply fer sami,,ion into the Union.
The snswsr which the President has sent to the
House to their resolution is supposed TO embrace all
The California Information required; but as the seals
not yet broken the character OF the message Is not
exactly Known We eexpect ts have II read TO morro~
IL may cover the whole ground including the opinions
Of the Prefdsnt the territories without which all
legislation mutt be IN the dark.
The resolution Of Mr. Clemens was called up In Its
order, calling upon the President for variety Of in
formation In refpect to the executive doings 10 Cali
forna and New Mexico and the opinions Of the sxscu
is TO Come into the nou as State.
Mr Clemens wiling TO lay the resolution on the
table until he bad examined the Presidents

administration for It vas charged against II that the
people ~ California had been coercsd into certain
measures, by the executive aad bis agents.
Mr. Truman smith theoysr faithful Truman, thought
there DO necessity for this resolution; the Presi
dent had fully answered al these Inquiries ia his
to the osse. Every scrap every straw, Of cores
before the House And for eoercing the people of
California, II was a csiuuny. The Instructions to
Gen. Riley were given by the last sdministraion. The
solution was not only unnecessary but would cost
UIBscessary expenfe inhe copying Of the oluminous
psptrs laid before the House.
Aftsr the debate had been prosecuted pretty vigor
ously between Mems Smith aud lay on the side,
and Nj Douglass on the other, In which ne broadly In
.inuated that the Senator from Connecticut was at
