The Great Ques.ion.-Row Settled.
We hope the Washington letter writer who has
sent doubt throughout the country in relation to
the passage Of the Texas Boundary Bill, by the
House, may be, as many Of his brother chips fire.
quently are on subjects in futuro,-mistaken. We
believe that all territory granted to Texas beyond
the Neuces is over and above what she is entitled
to-this has always been the wing sentment-but
for the sake Of avoiding civil war, we were glad
the Senate granted her claim to the Rio Grande,
with the ten millions thrown in. We so express
ed ourself in our last and we shall regret to Learn
that the green olive branch of the Senate has been
blighted BY the House, unless, indeed, some other
acceptable proposition be introduced that will as
speedily secure the desired object.
The Senate has done well to pass the above and
the California Admission Bill. The Protest of the
ultras ofthe South shows their great hostility 10
the latter measure. Their protest, whether record
ed on the Senate Journal or otherwise, will forey-
er show the Inconsistency of the South, as the Cal
ifornia Constitution and the reasons for its adop
ton, were openly and professedly founded on pub
hshed principles avowed by leading Southern men,
as Calhoun, Polk 4 Co., and viewed as good ortho-
dox democratic doctrine by all the Democrats who
composed the California Convention. The Senate
would, however, have done better had il awarded
justice to the Californans, by accepting their Con-
stltuton when ii was first presented. As itis,we
hope the House will cooperate with tina, body in
passing these two bills.
In this way the main points of the great co,tro-
versy will be adjusted measurably, to the satisfac
ZION OF the masses. As to being settled, as some
have hoped, that is another question. altoget,cr
Inc idea OF deliberative assembly of mere politi
eia"s' sacn as compose our National Legislature,
attempting to settle any mere moral question. and
sucn vast one as that of National Slavery, so as
10 satisfy oil parties, is preposterous This is whv
we nave never been, and never could be nolitical
aooi,tionist. This is why we have always aiscom-
tenanced political organizations founded on tho H.,
tile expectation Of ameliorating and much less of
annih'iating, and forever abrosating this dreadful
eVh. We have never hesitated to express our all
norfence Of the system. and to declare that slave.
~ was curse to our land. We believe il To no
'he most abominable system that was ever permit.
'eu 70 exist on earth, because il sanctions Tho ;
lation OF every command and of every prohihi,;on
contained IN the Decaogue. II is this that makes !,
the great mammoth moral question Of the N ho
removed not by political, but by moral means. Not
by human,but by Divine power. rseems
donal to US that the great Being-whosc laws a..
ny concentration Of evil doing, thus trampled nm.
