The passage Of the Bill admitting Cali
lornia into the Union adds another star 10
the constellation of States. This event
we regard as one Of III" mos important
wHich las marked oot progress as ma,

II with respect 10 me ad,Iupnal power
thus given TO our nation, it Is deeply in
teresling. But when we consider that
the settlement Of California and lis union
with the Atlantic sea-board by railway
will produce a revolution in the CONNER
rial world, the event becomes invested
with ten-fold interest. That this commu.
nication will be made we can scarcely
!oubt. A short time since such scheme
was pronounced visionary and chimeri.
CAL But many Of us will live to see the
Western prairies and the passes of the
Rocky mountains threaded by aRail Road,
which will become the great thoroughfare
of the world, and The line of inter-com-
munlcanon for Europe and Asia. Then
The riches of tie world will pass through

The history of California thus far has
been almost as a dream. A few days
back, for the most part an uninhabited
waste, it is now resonant with the hum OF
industry and civilization. Yet in her in,

Tho Question Settled.

The hearts of our readers have already
been made glad with the joyful 'idings OF
the settlement Of the vexed question oil the
day. For many months the public mind
has been in state Of painful anxiety as to
the fate of the measures before Congress
for the adjustment of the difficulties which
have for so long time threatened our very
existence as q nation. The word dSu11l-
on which a very short time back had no
place in our national vocabulary, had be-
come as common as d household word,
uttered fippanty, not by beardless youths
whose very food is excitement, but by
grave and reverend Senators, selected for
their superior wisdom and discretion, as
proper and safe guardians of lie honor and
glory Of their country. The sloutesI
hearts in the land had begun to cover, and
The experiment Of FREE government had
well nigh resulted in failure. All was
indeed dark and dreary. But thanks to a
kind and bene(icent Providence who has
continually vouchsafed to rs the blessings
of free government, the gloom which has
hung DER US like black pail is now dis-
PEELED, the storm is over, the troubled va
lers are still,
"And the dark clouds that lowerd upon our house
In the deep bosom Of the ocean buried"
After the adoption Of the Declaration of
Independence the history oflhe period tells
us that Join Adams recommended that the
anniversary of the day should ever after be
regarded as political Sabbath, and should
be devoted TO rrjocings. If an act creative
of the Union should thus be observed,
surelvthe passage of measures pres rvatlve
of that Union should he hailed w.,h like
reioicmgs throughout the length and
breadth of the land Let pGans ascend
rom city, villag', and hamlet, from the
valIeS and the hll-tops--
Let the trumpet to the kettles speak,
The kettles to the Cdnnoniers without,
The cannOns to the heavens,
The heavens to the earth"

,,ectine IN Spottsylvania.

Tbe Fredericksburg News publishes
=, account of accent meeting al Sp"tt-
s,lvanio Courl House said 10 be a large
one--where there was much and able
discussion, and as many as sixteen reso-
unions rassed, appended TO long Preain'
hla. Tie sentimen, of the meeting as
embodied and ex pressed in its proceedings,
seems TO have sprung almost exclusively
from the erection of California into an m
JerenGent State, excluding the institution
cf slavery from lis TerTitory--and we
,hink the grea, error pervading the move
ment consists in assimilatng 10 The VIII
mot proyiso the act referred 20. We are
aware the eloquent and ingenious men IN
Congress have frequently attempted TO
identify these Two measures, but eloquencc
and ingenuity are very often employed IN
irving 10 demonstrate, what IN the nature
Of things, cannot be demonstrated. II be-
fore the Spotsylvania meeting, what has
happened since, the Bill has passed by
large majority admitting California into
The Union, the subject might have worn a
different aspect. The Wilmot pEnriso
had been killed in both Houses By decisive
maiorities, and it is difficult 10 perceive If
The California Bill was to inspire dead
p.:aciplewith new life, how the act should
have been so easily consumated. In our
simplicity we had always supposed that
the Wilmot proviso could only apply to
Territorial Bills, and that the tight OF the
.Deople in the formation Of new State, TO
admit or exclude slavery according to their
own views of policy, V as lndlsputabie.
We do not say that Congress was under
any positive or peremptory obligation to
admit California at this particular time,
and we have even contended, II clrcum-
stances had permitted, previous terri
torial puplage might have been the ialFest
and wisest course. But OF the authority
of Congress to admit, without shocking
the nerves or violating the conscience OF
others, we have not permitted ourselves TO
doubt for moment How any stern adj
yocate for the doctrine Of State rights can
contend against it, is matter OF surprise.
Even John G.. Calhoun, jealous and SEN
siliye as he ever was on the subject OF
slavery, did not question the right OF a
newly formed State TO exclude 1t from Its
borders. That slavery was excluded by
the Constitution of California, ought not
to excite the least surprise. A large ma,
iority of the people were from free States
and even many from the South did not
resist the Constitutional prohibiuon.--
