Looking ut things here in practical point OF
v;exy. ,bere would really seem to be nothing LETT
Car coDoress to do but to take up the California
BIN and pass it. That State ought to be admitted.
She is suffering great injury and great 'n)os'ice
that she Is not The attempt TO unite the question
r. her admission with other and foreign subjects,
having sgnally failed, it now ought to be promptly
abandoned Mr.. CLAY owes this sacrifice on his
mart to bis ow professions of desire for concord
harmony and union. As it is plain that the great
ouestions embodied in the Compromise Scheme
cannot be put through Congress in the lump, let
each now be considered separately. This is the
true way at all times. We ought not to undertake
"a make leg islative chowders. Common sense for

and fair dealing @bidIit "One thing at time,"

sress act upon il Let California, then, be ad
mitted In the first place, and without delay. This
done, let the Boundaries of Texas and New Mexico
be established. If money must be paid to Texas,
let 1t be appropriated There is no serious diff
Guilty in the way Of . bargain. Texas is not short
sisbted. and we do not believe, from what we know
az her representatives in both branches. that she

sbler or cooler men.
Every consideration which can be supposed to in
dueoce fair and honorable Legislators calls for their
adoption Every reasonable man in the country,
OF whatever shade Of opinion, mustsee that tits the
duty of Congress to admit California and it isits duty
10 prevent q conflict between New Mexico and
Texas in relation to their boundaries. These sub
jects press. They are the only ones that do With
them disposed Of the way is clear. Other subjects
may afterward come up and be considered as occa-
sion demands. But there is no inherent, distract
ing causes, in the two subjects that call for the
action of Congress. They do not involve the Will
mot Proviso, nor the subject Of Slavery at oil.
There need not and ought not to be any sectional
question raised in regard to them. We may treat
them. and yet steer clear entirely OF Provisos, of
fugitive.save bills, of subdivisions of Slave States,
and whatever else there is Of irritating. agita-
ting, and inflaming nature in the Omnibus load Of
eombustibles trunded into the Senate by the Com
mittee Of Thirteen.
Let Mr.. CLAY fling away his elaborate compound
with which he proposes to cure the countrys dsor-
ders, and trust TO Nature and simple treatment.
He seems to us like great physician who has
mistaken the disorder Of his patient. He believes
that active, urgent medicines are required, when
really nothing is needed but quiet and rest. He
mistakes in the common way of all doctors instead
Of seeing with how little the patient can do he is
for try ing how much he will bear. And thus at this
moment he appears to US to stand in melancholy
mood over disturbed and irritated country, which
needs more TO be let alone than anything else with
an immense plaster OF cantharides in his hands,
that he insists upon applying by way of composing
the patient TO rest. Let Mr.. CLAY forbear to press
sthemc which it is plain cannot prevail lie can.

separately. One Of his clear, clarion cries in favor
of the immediate, separate admission of California
