two years. The IRON is rolled ont into bars the

eight and ten feet long; il is heated and cut off

places it between die and pr nch, and the punch
comes down and forces the Lcle for tie handle,
by punching ont piece An iron nlandrl is
then Inserted into the hole, and il is immediately
put under an other press, which forms one side

Col. Gregg's Letter.

In another column will be found the pungent
satire of COL Gregg, elected by the tergiversations
of Senator Foote, in his recent comment upon the
factious proceedings OF our Ratification Meeting.
A more effectual castigation, and better-meried,
no unfortunate wight ever received, than this indi-
vidual has invoked upon himself Ifhis hide is not
as thick as his conscience, think probable that
soon after the receipt ofheseinstruments oftortures
the dignifed Senator may be seen amid the shades
Of the capitol seated upon the stool of tardy re-
pentance, and chanting his death-song to the ap-
rropriate air, 'Oh, I'm used up man."

by the Gla route from Texas, Arkansas, and
Louisiana, and other Southern States. The
abolition of fthe.systen of peonage has thrown
out OF the possession of many large landholders
and cattle raisers hundreds of poems. Under
this state of things some of these stock raisers
are already providing to supply the loss Of their
poems with negro slaves. The abolition of pc.
onage will also account for the meetings which
have been held in southern California, for Sc.
parate territorial government"
All this seems to Indicate that, whatever the
action of Congress may be, slavery will find its
wav at least to the southern portion Of the ter
ritory. But what striking evidence is it of
the gross wrong inflicted upon the country, as
we'll as on the inhabitants of California, by the
nefarious plotting of the last administration, in
forcing State government on people who
were not prepared for it, and who evde 'tly did
not desire it. Intelligence from California will
now he looked for with interest.

Congress.


We omit our usual summary Of Congressional
proceedings this week. They are interesting on
ly so far as the action of that body is concerned.
There has been The usual quantity of talking done
since our last report, but considerable more ac-
ton. In our last, we annoenced the passagsab by
the Senate, of Mr. Pearce's bill tor adjustment of
the boundary of Texas In the House, on Thurs
day it was taken up and passed by majority of
fifty. The act has only to receive the Presidents
approval and the assent of Texas to become. the
supreme law of the land" s,.
On the same day, the Senate took up the bill
for establishing territorial government for New
Mexico, which, after the rejection of several a.
ments Qhe Wmot proviso among tbein.) was
passed by vote of 81 to 10. The discussion --of
the Protest of the Southern members against nhe
admi on California, presented the day, previous,
was resumed, and finally the motion toreceire,it
was laid on the table, by a vote of % to19. 80
In the House, Mr.. Woodward asked consent-to

post Offices and post roads to inquire Into thesex-
pediency of establishing post routes from Camden
by way of Bishopvie, to Willow Grove and from

The Protest.

This able summary of the most prominent OBJ
jections to the admission of California, will be
found in another column, and is we'll worthy OF
careful perusal.
The right of the minority in legislative or de-
Lucrative assembly, to enter upon the Journal
solemn protest against any action ofan InconsIde-
rate majority, exists ofnecessity, and the common
law of Parliaments will fully establish it. In no
respectable body Of that character has this privl-
lege ever been denied, unless the matter or man.
ner of the protest were seditious, or breach OF
privilege. And the reason is evident-a protest
is in the nature OF an appeal TO poserity, to gene
rations vet to come, who, unheated by partizan
warfare, will cooly sift the motives and argu-
ments ofthe actors in these measures and award
the palm TO those who merit it. To deny such a
privilege is, therefore, deliberate refusal by the
majority, TO submit the question fairly, to an inn
partial tribunal, because, as We may we'll infer,
they neither conde in the rectitude of their inten-
tons, nor the force oftheir arguments.
But not considered as right, how arbitrary is
this discourteous refusal to ten honorable Sena-
tors, of the privilege of recording their dignifed
remonstrance! In the Senate of England, the
aristocratic House of Lords, it would not be de-
MED to single Peer How much greater then. is
the regard paid to the freedom of discussion there
than in the Senate Of America! There can be no
greater tyranny, than that which suppresses full
discussion of public measures. Liberty is secur-
ed by provisions for the protection of minorities.
The majority unrestrained, would become licen-
tious, and though free themselves, would enslave
all who were opposed to them, 1t is therefore Of
the last importance in free government, that the
greatest regard should be paid to every check
which rightfully exists, upon. the power OF num-
bers, always arbitrary in its tendency. Hence,
this action of the majority Of the Senate acquires
aniadditional importance, considered as viola
ton of restraining and conservative right When,
however, this is associated with the brutal at
tempt to suppress discussion, exhausting the
physical strength of Il speaker by prolonged
session, exhibited in the case of Mr. Yuee; with
Mr. Fillmore's proclamation of the despotic militia
nv power of the Executive, in his recent message;
with the repeal of the 34th rule by the House, al

CALIFORNIA AND SLAVERY.
We CLEAN from various sources that the CAL
iforna people are becoming convinced that
there was too much haste for their own good in
the adoption of 4 State form OF government 1t
is asserted that they now believe Il territorial
government will better suit their condition, as
they cannot carry OH State government com.
mensurate with California prices. Mr.. Berrien
read Il letter in the Senate, on Monday, from Il
distinguished source in California, avowing the
opinion that the slavery question is not yet set
tied in California;; that their constitution will
be altered in that respect when convenience
shall indicate it; and the writer asserts that the
people do not wish the bill for the admission of
the State to be passed.
The Washington correspondents of the Bal
timore Sun and New York Herald all seem to
agree that there is some authentic information
upon which the Southern members are basinS
their efforts to defer action on the bill to admit
California. 1t is understood that since the ad-
iournment of the California Legislature, the
membersfr from the southern counties have gone
home with the intention Of getting up a conven-
ton for the division of the State, and the cstab-
lSlllllclll III lllc sOuLiSih paw W. s"e '0'''N W I"
separate territory and separate territorial gov
ernment. News is expected by the steamer
now about due fsomc proceedings in Caliior-
mia looking to the division of the State.
In view of all this, we cannot understand why
Southern Senators (any of them) could vote for
rushing California through IN such hot-llaste
on Monday and Tuesday.
That slavery will eventually be established
in California, there is every reason to believe.
Additional evidence of the value OF that species
ofIabor is found in the following extract of
letter from Washington in the New York Her
aid. The writer says:
al am informed by distinguished member
Of the State Senate Of California, that there are
several thousand slaves in that country, chiefly
below SO 80; that one person estimates the
number of slaves in the country already at from
three to five thousand. Ono gentleman, from
Arkansas, has eighty slaves engaged in the
southern mines; others have been named to us
as having their slaves in the diggings, taken out

PROTEST PRESENTED IN THE sen
ATE

W.. the undersigned Senators, deeply i'm
pressed with the Importance ofthe occasion and
with solemn sense of the responsibility under
which we are acting, respectfully submit the
following protest against the bill admitting Cal
ifornia as State into the Union, and request
that it may be entered upon the Journal of the
Senate. We feel that it is not enough to have
resisted in debate alone bill so traugh with
mischief to the Union and the States which we
represent, with all the resources of argument
which we possessed, but that it is also due to
ourselves, the people whose interests have been
entrusted to our care, and to posterity, which
even in its most distant generations may feel its
consequences, to leave, in whatever form may
be most solemn and enduring, memorial of
the opposition which we have made to this mea.
sure, and of the reasons by which we have been
governed. Upon the pages of 4 Journal which
the Constitution requires to be kept so long as
the Senate may have an existence, we desire to
place the reasons, upon which we are willing to
be judgedby generations living and yet to come,
for our opposition to Il bill whose consequences
may be so durable and portcntous as TO make
it an object Of deep interest to all who may
We have dissented from this bill because it
gives the sanction of the law, and thus imparts
validity to the unauthorized action of portion
of the inhabitants cl California, by which an
odous discrimination is made against the pro-
perty of the fifteen slavcholdng States of the
Union, who arc thus deprived of that position of
equality which the Constitution so manifcstly
designs and which constitutes the only sure
and stable foundation on which this Union can
rcposc.
Because the right of the slavcholding States
to common and equal enjoyment of the terri
tory of the Union has been defeated by a sys.
TEN of measures which, without the authority
OF precedent, of law, or of the Constitution,
were maniicstly contrivcd for that purpose, and
which Congress must sanction and adopt should
this bill become n law. In sanctioning this
system of measures, this Government will adj.
init, that the inhabitants of its territories, whc.
thcr permanent or transient, whether lawfully
or unlawiully occupying the same, may form a
State without the previous authority Of law,
without even the partial security Ola territorial
organization formed by Congress, without any
legal census or other efficient evidence of their
possessing the number of citizens necessary to
authorize tho representation which they may
claim, and without any of those safeguards
about the ballot box which can only be provi-
ded by law and which are necessary to ascer.
