large majority Of the people Of Illinois were in
favor Of compromising the whole question by CON-

peace.
Mr. WILMoT said the friends OF California were
DESTROYS Of speedy action. They began TO spp'e'
bend that California was lost and wished the Cali
fornis to take precedence Of the Appropriation bill.
The true friends desire that now. The action OF
Congress shows that the appropriation bills are the
last passed, and he was satisfied that when the Ap.
preparation bills are passed the day OF adjournment
has arrived and those who want 10 cat OF Califor-
nia will vote for the adjournment. To insure ac-

Mr.. OLDs regarded the vote taken this morning
as indicating that California will not be admitted
