That the people in any section Of the
republic will doubt or differ in regard to
the policy indicated in the late special
message of the PRESIDENT, touching Cal
ifbrnia and New Mexico, we cannot be-
lieve. The President tells us that with
out the slightest influence exercised upon
his part in the making or modifying Of
their domestic institutions, the people of
California, in convention assembled, have
erected government for themselves, and
will present themselves for admission into
the Union as an organized State. With
the action of this convention, as far as we
know, the people of California are salts
fed. There is no murmur Of discomfort
or dissent. IT., then, the State Of Califor-
MIA should seek such admission, with
government complying with the constitu-
tional acquisitions, the PRESIDENT will, Of
course, sign the necessary bill in the prem
Uses. The American people will sustain the
action. If any individuals, or organized
bodies, should undertake rebellion or rev.
olution in consequence Of such action,
they will be overwhelmed by an adverse
public opinion, and the civil magistracy
will hardly require the military arm to
keep the peace.
Then, in regard to New Mexico. The
mode being pointed out by which this
question can be practically and efectusIly
adjusted few weeks or few months
being long enough to solve the problem
with regard TO New Mexico--what obsta-
Gle is there to the execution Of the policy
The republic. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1849-1853, 1850-01-25


contemplated and recommended by the
PREsrDENr Nobody denies the right Of
the people Of New Mexico to regulate
their domestic institutions by their own
fundamental law. Nobody has a right to.
complain, outside Of the State, Of what
her State institutions may be. One would
suppose that nobody but fanatic or a fac
ZIONIST could desire the passage of an .nse-.
less legislative enactment for the mere
sake Of passing il. But the Bitter Enders
wish to press the so-called Wilmot proyiso
through Congress, for the mere purpose
Of extorting his signature or veto from
President TAYLOR. This is their ayoMed
policy. They declare that all agitation
would cease--that the country would be
tranquilized-if President TAYLOR would
only say what he would do if the proyiso
were submitted to him. fthis case should
arise, we have no doubt that President TAY-
LoR would give the subject Reconsideration
which itsimportanced deserves, and act upon
it as in his judgmentthe best interests ofthe
country might require under all the CIR
cumstances of the case. Legislative ac-
ton, resulting from the deliberate judg
ment Of patriotic and prudent men, moved
by no hostile sentiment, actuated by a
high sense Of public duty, and a just
Fsense Of public responsibility ~ is one
thing. Legislative action, conceived in
malice, hatred, and all uncharitableness-
gagged through Congress by mischievous
combinations Of antagonist elements ~
avowedly for partisan and factious pur-
poses, is another and very different
thing. President TAYLOR tells Congress
and the country, with frankness and can
dor, that he desires that this question
may be disposed Of by the operation
of causes Independent Of the action of
Congress-for the sake of avoiding any
unnecessary controversy that is calcu-
lated to disturb the regard and afec-
ton Of the people for each other. This is
reasonable, and just, and patriotic. It is
precisely what he ought to say, and what
he can say with effect, for the very rea-
son that he has all along been disposed to
act the part Of peace-maker, and has re-
fused to embrOil himself with factions and
sections. II is precisely what the Amer
lean people outside of the circle of local
politicians-desire. We have full conf
dence that the popular response to Presi-
dent TAYLoR's message will be all that
his best friends can desire; and that il
will place him upon ground where any
course that he may be called upon tc
adopt will be generously sustained by the
people.

Ma. CusenAss speech in Congress yesterday
reveals the fact that but for the Wilmot proviso,
California would have been this moment in the
hands Of shareholders, working the mines with
slaves. II further appears, by this remarkable
speech, TO be the present policy Of southern mem
bcrs to "stop the wheels of Government until
"this question is settled. The people Of both
tons, adds this gallant North Carolnan. would
then be obliged TO make provision for their support
'sIf the intcrregnum should continue long, the
rangement would become permanent" "a very
soft way Of perpctrating treason certainly! And
yet letters from Washington this morning assure us
that this is the predetermined Of the southern
members. They have resolved, told, not 10
permit the appropriation bills TO pass till the terri
tora question Is settled TO their satsfacton-which
is nothing short Of an appeal from law 10 passion
and force. Mr.. Clingman's speech yesterday
seems TO corroborate the fearful rumor. But we
will not anticipate events The Presidents mes
sage-patcrnal, mild, and coDcihstory rs Il Is in
tone and sentiments made the apology, we hear,
for this desperate resolve.

WASHINGTON, April 18th, 1850.
The subject OF change in the cabinet has been much

ston of Mr. FooTE, to refer the Compromise resolu-
tons submitted respectively by Messrs CLAY and BELL
to select committee of thirteen.
Mr. WEBSTER remarked that as the amendments
submitted yesterday by the Senator from Missouri, (Mr
Benton) such would necessarily lead to long
debate he thought the best to be pursued would
be to abandon all idea of a select committee.

Massachusetts, and urged the appointment of the Com
mittee.
Mr. BENTON sent to the Clerks table nine additional
instructions which he intended to move the APP
pointment of the committee should be insisted upon

laid upon the table, and the Deficiency Bill taken up
An amendment, proposed to the bill by the committee

ment, the Senate adjourned, to meet again on Monday.

referred.
A bill for the relief Of the widow of Gen. Worth was,
after encounterng much opposition laid aside for en-
grossment.
