CHANGE or POSITION.

Many Of the Southern politicians have recently chang
ed thrir p sti MOI many months have passed since
the d4crine of Nh Calhoun and the whole South was,
that CONGRESS should not interfere with the question Of
slavery in the territories. The North had coi med the
fiphi 10 append the Wmo pGoysO Il any bill 10 tsah-
sh territorial govermen'i aud II was against this claim
hat the South eoniended. All that asked was, that
the ppope Of the et Hies should be left fee 10 act as
they pleased on the subject Of slavery. This was the
southern pai frm and The justice of the position aSsun
ed as twledsed by all but the ultra additions -
What is how the ground akenby certain Southern mem
brs of Congress? Are they content 10 let the pc pie Of
the territories act for themselves? No. Nothing will
now satisfy ihem but the division Of California by the
Missouri line aud act OF Congress guarantee ing slave
ry South Of that lac. 1t usnfTaton of power to re-
strict slavery but The Wlm,t provso and the non inter.
ven0n of Congress on the subject OF slavery was de-
manded by the South. Now these same politicians call
for the interference Of Congress 10 enable hem to estab
s slavery in territory, the people OF which have a
ready repudiated it: and threats are made, that they
be no, uratliied they will secede from the Unun and
raise the standard Of civil Nothing can be gained
by this change Of poson for he adm If the rahi
of Congress t. regulate slavery would be iaa 10 the IN
terests Of the South. Unless Southern genle act
consistently and plant themselves upon the guarantees of
the Constitution, they will play a losing game.
We have heard much OF The ontrages either perpetra
ted or anticipated by the action of Congress on the south
ern States; but confess inability 10 discover IN what
they consist. When it was originally proposed to give
California territorial government the great obstacle
was the attempt TO attach the W ino' proylso Inc
South would MT admit tina appendage, but was wiling
that the admission or rejection of slavery should be left
to he decision Of the people. Southern views prevailed
The Wilrnot provsl was abandoned' and The territory
was left without civil govern ment. II was accessible
to engrans from all cuns Of the Union, and thou
s,nd r.sarted hithor from North and South, attracted
hy the desire of acquiring gold. The increase Of popu
la,ion produced necessity for oeauzed government,
