The New York Evening Post, the abolition organ OF
the free-soiers Of New York. contends vehemeny for
the admission OF California without any qualifications,
conditions, connexion with a great system OF
compromise, which is calculated TO settle this whole
agitatng controversy. II differs with Mr.. Clay who
has proposed scheme Of compromise and tsays) his
prejudces naturally in favor Of series Of
connected with each other, looking final adjustment OF
the different branches Of the great controversy which
divides the nation Otherwise he would not fail to
perceive that the simpler you make the question Of the
admission Of California, the easily it may be set
tied" Mr. Clay, in his admirable speech Of yesterday,
took different view, and contended that, in all proba
by, the shortest way to admit California was TO con-
meet her admission with territorial organization OF
Utah and New Mexico and the adjustment OF the Texas
boundary Mr.. Clay is anxious to sink -soilism,
and to settle every bnch Of the great controversy which
divides the nation" and may divide the Union itself
and he is patriot and statesman enough TO encounter the
whole subject once although II may make the whole
more complicated than any one part
No wonder that the New York Evening Post is dssai-
shed with the slightest indication OF wise change in
the course Of the administration " Their original rec
concentration was, that the admission Of California
should be encountered with any other what
and this OF the most sensible and just
concentrations which the administration ever made. II
is unfortunate think, both for them and the public,
that the administration, its organs, and its ends. hepe
not adhered 10 his policy" Very different indeed is our
opinion We trust that General Taylor will adopt the
policy OF meeting the whole question at once, and giving
organization TO the people Of the Territories. who are
much entitled to the protection OF government as
those Of California, and at the time extngush the
torch Of dscord through our whole country.
