The California Message.
| From the Nashville (Iennessee) True Thig.
! We published on Tuesday President Taylor's
admirable message upon the proposed admission OF
California as State-in which the iron nerved,
true hearted old soldier speaks out his sentiments
and feelings with earnest, honest energy of
utterance, worthy Of the hero, and the American
patriot, who has nothing to conceal, nothing to
serve but his country" II bears upon its face the
impress of sincerity and resolute determination,
which, together with the strong, commons sense
| terseness of style, and unsophisticated patriotism
which characterizes the whole production, must
command the respect and appreciation Of the right
thinking and minded of all parties and all
tons of the whole country.
Wenow give place to the more important public
documents accompanying the message, to which
we solicit the attention of our readers II will be
seen that Locofocoism has made nothing by its va
porting flourish of investigation into the affairs Of
the administration.
From the Lexington (Ky.) Observer.
The President has promptly responded to the
resolution of the House in regard to the agency
taken by the Executive in the formation of the
ritorial government of California. 1t seems to US
eminently satisfactory, and, in truth, but carrying
out the policy of the late administration in relation
to this delicate subject. The President pecu-
liarly cautious in enjoining upon Mr.. Thomas But
Ter King the absolute necessity of keeping aloof
from all controversy upon the subject, and letting
the people of California settle the business in their
own way. We trust this message Of the President
will have its due weight upon the country, if not
upon Congress. We feel deep pain to find that
VHyt.
lima, awaited himself of the occasion to deliver a
speech, which, it is sad exceeded the most violent
yet delivered against the Union. He even went
into cool calculation of the benefits the South
would derive from dissolving the Union. We have
not yet received the speech, but when it comes
10 hand, readers may how this political
blessing is to be reached through the dissolution of
the Union.
We hope that such men Messrs Stephens,
Toombs, and Clingman, really do not intend seri-
ously what they now threaten, but simply design
to make the mischievous agitators of the North
fleet upon the consequences of the course they are
now pursuing Still, it is rather dangerous
game, and we think it very unwise even to habtu-
ate mans minds to think upon such q calamity as
the dissolution of the Union. We must agaih re-
peat that we consider it fortunate for the nation
that General Taylor is in the Presidency, and that
Henry Clay yet lives and is in the Senate.
From the Detroit (ldieh.) Daily AdUertiser.
THE SKIES ARE BRIeHTER.-H il not TO be dis
guised, that for some time past the strongest and
most disagreeable presentiments have been in
dulged, the part of the friends of our national
existence, in regard to the result Of the present
slavery agitation in Congress. II has seemed that
direct collision between the North and South
black and irretrievable abyss of disunion has
seemed to yawn before the eyes of those who have
been, in times past, its warmest friends.
In the kind providence of God it has seemed good
to raise to the highest station of power q man
whose first and highest aspirations for his coun-
try's honor and advancement, and whose best en-
ergies have been and will be directed 10 her true
interests. The clear, statcsmanlike, and elevated
views developed in the Presidents message upon the
California relations, evince the fact that the Presi
dent takes sides with neither ultra band of fac
tionsts, but stands upon the true merits Of the
issue, aloof from partisan influences and control,
and ready TO embrace as his own such views as
may recommend themselves as sound national
and philanthropic.
To have such President, come he from soA<rs Ne
may, is the true glory Of Republic; and 10 sus-
tain and encourage such one, In the high course
which he has marked out for himself is for the true
honor and credit Of any American Journal, having
for its first object the maintenance Of national
character.
Let the factious opponents Of General Taylor say
what they may with regard 10 his California mes
sage-lct them utter and reiterate their stale and
secondhand charges Of plagiarism--the stern fact
will nevertheless stare them In the face, that the
only feasible plan yet presented upon which this
great and distressing question can be settled has
been proposed by the message Of General Taylor.
This message furnishes common ground where
all who truly desire the honor and advancement Of
the Union may cordially unite, and from whence
those who wish her dishonor and arc seeking her
overthrow will be repealed.
Northern factionists say, you have a southern
Prcsident-look well 20 him, ne will bctray you;
WHILE upon the other hand, southern ultraists say
he Ia wolf in sleeps clothing-look well 20 him;
he is no southern mamie is in league with the
North. II IL just such AZ this let his prefer
epccs be what they may. that the true national pa.
triot should delight 10 honor wbo divosting himself
Of all private and sectional feelings has the bold
mess to come out openly upon national grounds,
without stopping 20 inquire 10 the sectional
effects Of the measures which he recommended.
