The admission of California into the
Union as sovereignS State, and the course
to be pursued as 10 New Mexico and
Utah, more than any other measures now
occupy the time of Congress and the at
tention of the public.
Pursuant TO the provision Of the Consti-
tuition which requires the PRESIDENT from
time to time TO recommend to Congress
such measures as he may deem necessary
and ex7edient, he, in his message of the
2lst Of January last, recommended the adj
mission of California into .he Union as a
separate and independent measure, leav-
ing the residue Of our newly acquired
Territories subject 10 existing laws, till
they should respectively form State gov
ernments and apply for admission also.
Ii could not be expected that all parties,
in all sections Of the country, should unite
on this, or any other measure touching
the subject; yet the PREsrDEET's recon-
mendatlon was at once received with favor
by large proportion Of the people, and is,
it is believed, still generally acceptable TO
them. =r-.
But difference of opinion as to The
true line Of policy on kindred measures,
and difference also as to the mode of
carrying out the affirmative measure re-
commended by the PRESIDENT, and which
is very generally admitted to be exped'ent
and right, have caused it TO linger in the
two houses of Congress, and it has. yet re-
ceived the action Of neither. The PREsr-
DENT, however. performed his duty, as to
the measure in recommending it early to
the consideration of Congress. But All
impression seems to have got abroad, that
he now waivers, or has wavered, in his
opinion on this subject. This, we are
well advised, is unfounded in fact. lie
remains, and it is proper the public should
understand that he remains, firm in the
opinion that the course OF policy which he
recommended was, and is, under all the
circumstances, the best practicable, and
that he has never for moment changed
or modified that opinion. The misappre-
hension on this subject, so far as it exists,
ought 10 be corrected, so that the PREsI-
DENTS official recommendation may not,
in effect, be Withdrawn, or modified for
him, without his authority Washington
