The New York Sun thus exults over the pas
sage of the California bill through the Senate
az great abolition Triumph
:" From the House of Representatives we have
every reason to expect as equally decided vote
Undoubtedly there will be clamor and chatter
from the extreme and fanatic Southern members
1t is to be expectcd--but the final result may
be written down with observation-disclosures DECISION
WILL BE THE DOOM OF SLAVERY IN THE UNITED
STATES. lTs FINAL SUPPRESSION is NEAR AT
| HAND, AND MAY DE LOOKED UPON AS ONE OF THE
! MOST TRIUMPHANT BATTLES EVER FOUGHT AND
| WON, YET RECORDED IN THE WORLDS HISTORY.
! 1t will have been victory without bloodshed-
victory Of principle over habit and association,
Of RIGHT over WRONG"
We have repeatedly said that we regarded the
admission of California, under its present fraud
ulent organization, as The great turning point,-
the Ihermopyla,--int the movements of the Free
sellers and Abolitionists to seize upon and per-
vert all the powers Of the Federal Government
to the overthrow and humiliation of the South.
In the above extract we have an open dronnak
that such is the light in which it is regarded by
our enemies. IL is for urging our people to a
manly resistance to this revolutionary crusade
against our honor, our rights, and our very exis-
tence that we are denounced as ultras by North
ern Free sellers and their allies, the Southern
SHOWfSStOHfSLS
submissionists, whatever may be their intention,
to be- in point of fact, allies of Northern Free
soers and Abotionists. Those among us who
utterly refuse to unite upon any plan of defence,
whose whole aim, Judging them by their acts, is
to distract and confuse Southern councils, are
the worst enemies, not only of the Soutb, but of
the Union.
The tender footed politician, who waits to see
the course Of the popular breeze before he sets
his sails-the oifice-seeker, who palters with
the great issue Of equality and liberty or submits
sion and slavery, contemplate at all times Is
doubIy so now. The trimmer, who is neither
decidedly for resistance, nor yet for submission,
who cannot find in his heart to join without
reserve, either the house of York or of LancaS-
Ter; but would fain have his name enrolled in
the legion of both, deserves to be crushed in the
conflict and trampled under foot without pity or
remorse The crisis admits of no temponzlng.
There can be but two parties to the issue we
have to meet they are the RESISTANCEa and
the SUBMISSION parties. The opponents of
the resistance party may give over their treachary
to the South, for a season, by joining the Free
sellers, in the delusive and hypocritcal shout of
Union glorious Union but time and the adj
vancing tide of Abolitionism will unnask them
Letus not be mistaken. Wespeak ofpoliticians,
-otlice-holding, ofce-seeking politicians Thou
try, are now misIed by these creatures. Time
will undeceive them.
A poor attempt has been made to demoralize
Southern Senators, who voted against the Clay
Omnibus Bills, by pointing to the fact that the
Abolitionists and Free-soers also voted against
them. They who attempt this must put low
estimate upon the sagacty of the people, if they
imagine they are ignorant ofthe opposite grounds
upon which those votes were cast Southern
Senators voted against them because they re-
garded them as a surrender of Southern rights,
the Abolitonists because the exclusion of the
South was not plainly ,oraten upon the face of
the bills The friends of the Omnibus were on
half ,cay ground between the extremes; and
therefore much nearer to the Abolitionists in
feeling, sentiment and action. To show this
still more conclusively, let us look at the vote
upon the passage of the fraudulent California
bill in the Senate.-Rome (Ga) Souther71er.
