FLOUR AND WHEAT AT THE WEsT-A statement is

based we have not SEEM, that the quantity of wheat

third less than that Of last year. The statement is
partially borne out by the following from the Chicago
Tribune
at is estimated by best informed dealers,
that in all the ports the West shore of Lake Mchi-

MIsslssPPI-In the Mississippi Legislature, on the
18th inst, message was received from Gov. QUITMAN,
enclosing letter from the Delegation in Congress, in
reference to the proposition to admit California into the
Union as a State The delegation give as their op-
Mon that California will be admitted as State during
the present session Congress that her admission under
all the circumstances may beiustly regarded an at
tempt to adopt the "Wilmot Provso" in another form
and they therefore ask for such expression of opinion
by the Legislature the Governor and, if practicable, by
the People, shall clearly indicate the course which
Mississippi shall deem her duty pursue this new
emergency.
Gov QuITMAN briefly glances at the events connect
ed with the formation of State Constitution by an
unorganized community of Adventures in California
he is pleased to term them, and nveghs against the
provision in the constitution of that State which "for
excludes the slave property OF large portion Of
the States from the extensive aud rich territory thus
usurped" He attempts to saddle all the blame upon
the Federal Cabinet" whose motives for the hot haste
displayed in organizing State Government in Calfor-
mia, he says, are but too apparent. In conclusion he
Gays:
deyoutly trust that yet, the Congress Of the United
States will not consent to perperate this gross act OF
injustice upon the slavehoding States. To leave no
measure untred to avert it, recommend firm
STRANGE against the present admission OF California as
a State, with the restriction against slavery.
"Should this measure be consummated, we may ex-
pec to see, link by link chain OF States encirclng
south western border, who, if they should imbibe the
hostile spirit displayed in the resolutions and acts of
OF the northern States, would become more dan
gerous TO prosperity and repose than foreign States
Such an event would in my opinion render it the duty
of the Southern States to consult together and in con-
to adopt such shall efectuay protect
their rights and their safety and give to the citi
Of the savehong States assurance of trans
hitting TO their children an inheritance OF peace and
