went round and spoke to most OF the Senators.

MI. Soule gave us his statesmanlike reasons
why the boundaries Of California ought to be re-
dbced; Judge Douglass amendment which was
offered yesterday, and issnow in print, seems to
have anticipated Mr. Soule. Mr.. Douglas leaves
it TO the option OF the people of California Ia form
one or two more additional States, which shall
come into the Union with such constitutions az tbe
people thereof shall adopt designating at the same
time, the boundaries Of those States. And he
also gives us their names, viz Sacramento. Cali
forna and Colorado. Perhaps the South would
prefer that permission be given to California 10
form two States-North and South California :.
but it is extremely doubtful whether the limits
Of Saiiiornla, as they now stand, can be circum-
scrlbed and made a condition of her admission.

Wilmot Proviso, it would, perhaps, be more salts

such division ab inttto would be beneficial to the
South, as it would in all probability bring in two

question now before the country is, whether il is

Another argument Of Mr. Soule is. that the nonn

Inc peroTatlon OF Dlr. Soule was beautjful-ex-
pressing his attachment for The Union. He will
under all circumstances, be Union man; his high
bearing his chivarous feelings and his love of lib.
cry are the bestguaranees Of his patriotism. This
spseehls veryexcellent one, and Mr.. SouIe is a
very excellent reasoner If majority can be found
IN both houses willing 10 trim California into shane
let 1t be done by all means; but if that fails let he
country have the powerful aid of Mr. Soue, in get

statesman must look to both right and policy.
