shall is not only wing, but Taylor whg. His re-
marks. therefore, touching the views OF the President
entitled to attentive consideration Indeed we have
reason to believe from other sources that he indicates
with some exacness the present opinions OF General
Taylor but the effort made to show that those opinions
as interpreted by Mr. Marshall consistent with those
formerly entertained by the Executive, and formally an
nounced to Congress in the annual message and IN the
California message, idle and useless effort 1t is
too late contend that the President did not recommend
non aenon with regard to Utah and New Mexico. His
language that point plain and explicit Both the
opposition and the administration press agreed in con-
STRUNG that language and the personal organ OF
the President advocated nonacion as an Executive rec
ommendation soon as the California message was
published. True, its zeal has somewhat abated OF Late
but that abatement is due entirely to the unequiyoca in
dcations, in Congress and out of Congress- that the
peace OF the country imperavely requires speedy ad
ustment OF the present difficulties and that the
mendations of the President full Of peril 10 the
country well injustice to the people of Utah and
New Mexico.
The annual message of General Taylor says:

necessities Of their political condition. recently met In
government which the latest advices give TO
suppose has accomplished and il is believed they
will shortly apply for the admission OF California into the
Union sovereign State. Should such be the and
should their constitution be conformabe to the acquisitions
Of the constitution Of the United States recommend their
application to favorable consideration of Congress-
The people OF New Mexico will also, IL is believed, at
very distant period themselves for admission into
the Union. Preparatory the admission OF California and
New Mexico, the people Of each will have instituted for
thems elves republican form of government Staying its
foundations such principles and organizing its powers in
such form, them shall most likely to effect their
safety and happiness"
BY awaiting their action all Of may

view Of maintaining the harmony and tranquility dear

citing topics, Of sectional character which have hitherto
produced painful apprehensons in the public mind and
repeat the solemn warning of the first and most ustrous
my predecessors against furnishing any ground for char
acterizing parties by geographical determinations
The doctrine Of action is here distinctly foreshad-
owed The admission Of California recommended, and
Congress explicitly told that should await the action

clear and unequiyoca recommendation that Congress
should not act with regard to the Territories acquired
from Mexico, but wait until the inhabitants of those Ter

OF the annual message fully borne out by
the California message which communicated to Con-
gress on the 2lst of January That paper holds the fol-
lowing language:
