,-,,,, Of ibe bait ior the admission 0i Sa''
t,,sla a. STATE into the Union.
Ths QUESTION pending was on the aH''u
usnt admitted On the i0th, by Nj lufne!
AZ, Soule spoke iu support OF the an''hu'
ment. and Mr. Foote replied.
The question was then taken ana 'ne
amendment was rejected by a vote oi ~
TO 20.
The onestion then REQUIRED on ordering
che bfI 10 be cngrJsscd for a third reading
At, perreu addressed the Senate. lie
s,,,ed that what he intended to say wouiu
be tho opinions he entertained On tn's SUI,
iect. and the reasons leading mn 20 ''o'e
| COMMONS. lie then examined all the CIR
cumsIances attending the formation OF Tue
] constitution of California, and the appIica-
ION bv tbat State for admission lnto the
T-n,op He recapitulated the many and
r-,ss irregularities attending the whole pro-
e.oIiog and contende' that to admit her
ppder such circumstances would be a wan
I ton departure from the Legislative precedents
! ~ he last six years. He referred to the I'M
-rortance Of the subject, and the effect OF the
Z admission of California upon one section oil
the country. lie appealed TO the malonty
q, DELAY the admission, 10 remand her. to re-
Va her boundaries. and thus obvlate all
ar-pehenssou OF danger. lie detailed what
RE legislature OF Georgia had resolved up
an in case California should be admitted as
rrorosed by the present bill. 1t had been
rr,r,ssb th1r IN such an event 4 convention
should be called; and that the delegates OF
the people should there assemble and deter
mine the proper course for the State to pur-
sue. He would like the action OF Congress
10 be such as should obviate the necessity
. for such a proceeding. What an effect such
an asssmb,age in Georgia under the excite
mprt of the times would have upon other
I States he could not tell; but If n half dozen
I Of the States Of the Union should resolve to
Z secede ana should consummate the act, then
the Union was gone. He commended that
a union maintained by force was never con-
templated by its trainers and after speaking
IN high terms of the distinguished lndivldu'
al at the head OF the army, said that though
crowned with laurels won in many fields
there would be one contest where he wouIc
gain no trophy, and that would be in a con
test between the American troops on the one
side, and American citizens N the other.
