The difficulties are present and pressing. The
question is. how they to be metz IL ayails moth
ing for great men TO say what should be done If
they only suggest impossibilites California stands
at the door Of the Capitol knocking for admission.
There is AN immovable majority in favor of her
admission. She must and will come in.
The next question, or, as il stands, part of the
same question, relates TO New Mexico. Under
binary Giro umstances, this portion of our dearly
purchased soil would be organized territorially
But here an issue between freedom and slavery ex-
lists. That issue is arbitrary one IL cannot be
compromised The South will not, and the North
cannot, yield. The South will not consent to or
ganize that Territory toh, and the North will not
allow il TO be organized ioithout, proviso. Shall
each, then, stand stubbornly still, or rush madly
into collisions Or, will wise and good men unite
upon General Taylor's plan of leaving New Mcxi-
co to follow the example of California in framing
her own constitution, and then to present herself,
like California, for admission as a State !? This
course disembarrasses the whole question; and
though all may not be pleased, none have right
to complain, for it is the conceded privilege of all
the States TO frame their own constitutions and TO
establish their own institutions.
And yet. while the people Of the whole North,
with more than usual unanimity, together with the
friends of the Union at the South, approve OF
General Taylors plan, members Of Congress
either oppose it or present their impracticabe
schemes!
Why is this Why will not sensible men deal
with things as they find them Other modes will
prove unavailing, and all must swing round to the
Administration policy at last. California ,oiH be
admitted by this Congress New Mexico, as a
Territory, ,ciH not be organized by this Congress,
either with without the "proviso-" Taking
these facts fixed for fixed they are-why do no
the peoples in Congress take ground
upon which the RIGHT can stand, and against which
the WRONG must fall?

The Courier and Enquirer takes excep-
ton to our rhetoric in an article published
last week, and likens it to the language of
a ''stable boy" We are not familiar with
the vocabulary Of people employed in sta
bles, whether boys or men, and hence
cannot, Understandings, gainsay that pa
per in this regard. Grooms and ostlers
may talk as huently and accurately as the
editors of the Courier and Enquirer, for
aught we know; we can readily believe
their average literary attainments quite up
to those of the editors of the Union.
If we are to understand from the Cou-
rier and Enquirer's criticism upon our
article, that it maintains the doctrine that
a legislator can, by diuine right, dsre-
gard the CONSTITUTIONAL it was against
any such pretension our article was prin-
cipally aimed-we are free 10 say, from
the little we know of 'shorse flesh" that
it will at least require two curry-combs to
groom that hobby for long race.

A few remarks of ours upon the injury

Aict upon the character Of the country,
and especially paragraph in which we
alluded to the hurtful impression an un-
scrupulous and bitter-end detraction Of
patriot whom the people have elevated to
the highest Office in their gift might pro-
duce in foreign countries, have been seized
by the Union as an excuse for opening its
food-gates and pouring out upon the Ad-
ministration more copious stream than
usual from its reservoir Of fostering and
obscene calumnies. Aware that the Union
held the people Of this country in low es-
TEEN; perceiving that its political strategy
was based upon habitual contempt Of the
intelligence Of its readers; seeing that il
practised on belief in the infinite gull
bility Of citizens Of America, we ventured
10 suggest to it that its ssforeign relations"
might be betrayed into thinking i'll of re-
publican institutions if il persevered in its
course. We thought its respect for for
eign governments, its veneration Of for
eign opinion, might, in this regard, prove
an antidote to its hostility 10 every thing

The New York Tribune, referring to
the appreciation which has been bestowed
upon our course by a paper protesting to
be neutral, talks about g strange bed fell

taste in the selection of associates of this

it is difficult TO conceive of a bed-fellow OF
