PEARcE's bill Texas and the South save all the
region between 80 degrees and $3.50 this side

Rio Grande. If this measure had followed in.
stead of preceding an equitable division of Cali
fornia, we should be disposed to acquiesce. But
as the North gets by this bill not all she de-
manded, but enough to give her ultimately the
State of New Mexico, we never would have con-
sented to it until California was divided
The North now has the power in Congress
aided by such as BENToN and Clay to ratify the
usurpation of the California Convention, unless
it still be resisted as it ought to be by every
parliamentary expedent, N. H.
We observe some strange voting in the pro-
gress Of this bill to which we will refer here
after. elt.

suspended over IN terrorem To treat under
such threat is incompatible with honor. We
tried that trick with Mexico and even Mexico
scorned to succumb.
