It remains (says the Norfolk Herald) for Con-
gress to act on the application of the people Of
California for admission to the family Of States,
upon its merits, wholly disconnectedfrom the policy
of the Administration. The President recommends
its adoption; and surely it would be better to let
California come into the Union with constitu-
tional provision against slavery than to make her
serve out territorial probation under an act Of
Congress like that which provides Government
for Oregon, (signed by President Polk embodying
the WiImot Proviso. Nor (as President Taylor
properly remarks) could any thing be gained by
striking out the article prohibiting slavery as the
people of the new State would nfallibly restore it
again without DELAY.
