by the adoption of that government, law, order,
and the rights of labor, and consequently of pro-
perty, have been projected. The military govern
ment, so odious to American citizens, would have
been overthrow, and the bloody scene of Sacra
mento City been but one in the panorama of anar
chy and destruction. A man accustomed 10 the
barricades of Paris may think this slight affair
not so the Americans, who are educated from the
cradle to look on all such outbreaks as destructive

judgement of that State takes less territory by ID $50
square miles than would the line ofthe 3lth degree
which Gov. Bell in bis proclamation says the peo.
pie had been willing to concede See KaufTmans
address to his constituents. The territory proposed
to ne ceded contains A co. square miles below
36 3d. and 40 557 square miles above. By the An
nexaiion Resolutions, slavery was absolutely pro-

the Missouri Compromise. By the Pearce Bill all
legal prohibitions are removed and the institution
of slavery is left 10 the action of physical, economic
and moral causes. Texas, even if it should throw
off this outer ring the central sun thew off its
useless worlds, would still retain a territory equal
to five States as large as New York. The bill re-
