something was not done before the end of The
week, even,awould inevitably take place that
would render compromise impossible. The
events alluded to have been often spoken Of

to the mex, black Monday, and persons won

Doty's resolution, ins;ructing the Committee
on Territories to btlng in Bill 10 admit
California as State. In that case, the

To proven, recurrence of the strife and
confusion above referred 10, the House Of
Representatives, on the 9th olt., by general
consent, permitted Mr. Dsiy to introduce he
following bill for The admission Of California,
which was referred 10 the Committee of the
Whole on the state Of the Union. This is
looked upon as cheering sign. Here is the
bill:
Whereas, the people Of California have
formed for themselves a constitution and State
government, and applied for admission into
The Union as 4 State;
And whereas, The said constitution has
been officially communicated to Congress,

State Of Callornis, with the boundaries de.
scrbed ia the said constitution. shall be one,
and is hereby declared 10 he one Of The United
States Of America. and admitted into the
