Saiato ft'tS rnia.--What Effect its Admission
viii have upon GlayarY.

l
The New York San, which processes ia
90 neither an abolition nor free-soil paper,
concludes nn article upon tho vote in tie
Sena'eon the admissionof California as n
State, as follows
From t'ie House of Representatives we
liare every reason to expoct.an equally de.
cidcd vote Undoubtedly there will be
ciainor and clatler from the extreme and ia
iia'ic southern mcmbcrs--it is to be cypcct-
eo-Dnt the final result may be written
down with certainty. Their decision wiu

Wo'havc placed the latterpart ortl.o par-
agraPh in italics, because we wish orr
readers to take particular notice of it. We
wish 10 draw their attention to the tlcc,ara :
'ion that the admission of California "wi,l
no Inc doom of Slavery in tho United Stotos.,,
ior we have no doubt that this is tho Norl,orn
opinion, and the Northern sentiment. .upop
tho subject; and that it is not confined to tho
editors OF the New York Sun.
The San has not undertaken n sbou, h,,,,
'h's consutnmation, which they ofthc North
most devontly wish, will be brought abou,
why il is that the admission of California
VIII lead TO the "fnal suppression" of slave
~ IN INC United Statcs. But it is no, diff
cu't TO understand what is meant when this
declaration is made, nor to anticipate the in.
famous measures which the North, and the
Northern majority in Congress, will adopt,
10 gain this ''vic,ory without blood-shcd. ="
vi course trey count upon the absolute sub
mission ofthc South TO all their measures;
and they have good reason so To count. As
long as savc-holding Statos are represented
IN the Senate by such men rs BENTON.
HOUSTON, CLAY, UNpEEwooD, BELL. BAD
GER, MANGuM, and tho Senators from Del
aware aud Maryland, 10 say nothing oro,l,-
ers,-full one third Of tho whole Southern
vote-what else can be expected but that
the North will calculate upon the Soutll's
submitting to every aggression which may
be made upon their rights.
l, The Constitution should remain as il is
ana tho non-slaye- holding States should car.
ry cut in good faiil IFS provisions, the nd.
mission Of fifty CALIFORNIA; could no, lcn.I TO
Tie destruction Of slavery. The SIM knows
that perfectly wcl--it knows that the nd
mission Of California cannot have any direc.
effect in bringing, about the result ii desires.
What is meant then by the declaration. TIM,
the admission Of California is the doom of
slavery in the United States, can be nothing
else but this The anti slavery party will
gain SO great an accession Of strength and
become so powerful lin Congress, that it
will be able 10 do, and will do. what it plcn.
ses Ni'lsssss illas eone;tu,ion, the
oa'h which "'e'faken TO support it, or the
rights of the South. The higher law doc
trlne will become openly and nvowc,liv the
political creed of tho North so FAR us slavery
Is concerned. And what measures then
will likely be adopted BY the Norlh,-bv The
abolition and frec-soil majorities in both
branches of Congress, for the purpose Of
ginning this "boodless victory Z"
lst They will refuse 10 carry on, tho pro-
visions Of the constitution in relation 10 ru.
g''ivc slnvcs, and will encourage slaves 10
escape from their masters and Ry into Nortl,-
crn States, where they will be safe from
pursuit.
2nd. They will abolish slavery in tho
District of Columbia, and in all other places,
over which the United States have nav pre-
,cncc of jurisdiction.
3rd They will, perhaps, abolish the slave
trade between tho different States: ,hat is
they will prohibit persons from CARRYING
slaves from one State into another for sale.
4lh They will refuse To admit new slave
holding States into The Union.
9TH. They will admit rs many non-slayc-
holding States as possible.
9th They will encourage Missouri, Ken
lucky, Maryland and Delaware, and por-
haps other States, 10 abolish slavery and be-
come non-slavc-koing States.
7'h And ''iaa; scene Of all when ,hr.a.
iour'hs of the States have become non. slave
holding, they will amend the constitution and
abolish slavery everywhere in the Union.
This is the manner in which this prco,
