The day following this exposition the Monitor

On the 23d bill was introduced in the Cham
Der of Deputies by NJ Prieto and passed by ma
orty Of 43 to 81, declaring the suspension of all

the others, wishing to subject them to particular

To the exclusion Of other matter, we insert il
to-day's Crescent the report of the Speech mad,
by the Representative Of the Second District o
Louisiana. II will be seen that he opposes the
admission Of California as State, unless that be
made one Of the conditions d general compro-
mise. settlement Of all these sectional difficult
ties is doubtless desirable. But if the population
Of California justiies the formation Of State Gov
eminent, what right has Congress to refuse her
admission? 1t is treason 70 the Union. Ii the
Constitution does not permit its admission, then
no compromise OF difficulties will authorize the
act. 1t is a question Of constitutional principle
not Of expedenoy 1t is unjust to California tc
withhold her rights until it suits the pleasure o
the Government to receive her.
We differ from the views of Mr.. Conrad en- thi.
question, and believe that he is not representing
the opinion of large majority of his constituents
But at the same time, we think he must act aceor
ding to the dictates of his own judgement We
do not believe in the slavsh and degrading doctrine
that Representative is only to collect and record
the wishes Of his constituency. His duty is much
more onerous and more honorable. II is to Judge
and vote for them and on all important measures
i is his duty to examine well, decide with delbe-
ration, and carry out that decision by his vote
A conservative spirit animates the speech, even
in the meager and imperfect report which we pub
lish. That portion which speaks of the value of
the Union, is well worthy of the Representative
of the Second Municipality. We wait with anx-
ieiy for the views of Mr. LaSere

UTICA CANAL RIoTs = The Rioters Fired
Upon.-The Utica Observer, Of the 9th ult, says
that the strike and rioting on the canal, between
that city and Frankfort is becoming sad and
gloomy enough. On Sunday evening, 9th ut,
the rioters again turned out about 400 strong and
renewed their attack upon the shantees, again dri-
wing out the women and children, chasing the men,
and committing other violent acts. One workman
was shot, and badly wounded, while peaceably
passing along the road Between l / and ~ o'clock
on Friday night, the same party made another
demonstration. Information was at once sent to
the Sheriff at Herkimer, and another large posse of
armed citizens was immediately dispatched to the
scene Of the riot 1t appears the Sherffs felt JUS
titled in resortng to the last alternative, and part
OF the posse were permitted to fire. Four of the
rioters were shot. The posse made about one hun
bred more prisoners, whom they marched to Jail
Thrty-eight had been taken there before The
difficulty appears to be between the Munster-men
or Corkonians, and landowners. The former,
from some difficulty with the contractors made a
strike several weeks since, and being the
stronger party, are determined also to prevent the
latter from working
