Mr. EDIToR ~ esterday, at about half past 4
O'clock the bin admitting California into the Union
was ordered to be engrossed the Senate BY vote of
80 to 49, every free State Senator present voting nthe
alternatives and from slave States. Those fromthe
Soaih, as we call all ssSLAvEDoM.'' were Messrs.
Spruance and Wales, of Delaware; Underwood. of
Kentucky; Bell, of Tennessee; Benton, of Missouri
and Houston of Texas. The majority was H. and this
after months delay since California first was heard
knocking at the doors Of the Capitol for admittance
to this Union To day, it is expected the bill wibe
read third time and passed. -.sst 4. II. ...ss5
bill is to be introduced into the House Of Repre-
sentatves, to-day, by Mr. Richardson, Of Illinois, from
the Committee Territories for the admission Of Cal
ho mia into the Conederacy, as an independent mem
Der thereof and that bin to be kept before the House
the main matter for each day considerations until
it shah have been passed few DAYS will suffice for
this, and by Saturday night next the struggle win be
over, and California viii be admitted, or and others
here win be much disappointed. -
The bills which have passed the Senate, giving
Utah Territorial Government and settling the boun-
dairy line between Texas and Mexico will not be
taken up in the House until the battle shall have been
fought upon California This is as it should be, and
right glad am that the Representatives from The Free
States have at last their senses touching this
matter.
meeting Of the Southern members was held last
Saturday evening, deliberate upon a course deemed
best 10 be adopted thwat the purposes Of the friends
of California. 1t not very enthusiastic nor a
very harmonious meeting. A committee Of Is was APP
pointed to draw up plan Of operations and report the
same at an adjourned meeting, on Monday evening"
Thecaucus came of last evening, and not more than
three fths of the members from the South wee rpres-
ent and the gst Of the plan to be adopted was to IN
sst upon the line of Sc deg. and 80 min through to
the Pacific Ocean, and this falling resist the adnis-
sion Of California by all Legislative and iusti6abe
means possible This they will do, and they win be
overpowered in five days, and then the South viii be
put to her wits end to know what to do Ny OPT ion
is, their courage win ooze cut Of their fingers ends
and they will conclude to abandon the Union lust at
this interesting period in the history of the Republic
There will be an attempt attach the ssWilnst' to
the Utah bill, and to the New Mexico bill, when the
latter shall have passed the Senate and reached the
House of Representatives, but am fearful win not
remain attached, as do think the Senate can be
brought up to that point. Messrs. Cass, Dickinson,
Bright, Sturgeon, and one or two other Northern
Doughfaces will go with the South, and exclude the
Wilmot Proviso in the Senate and then the House will;
recede from its amendments, as all the real northern
doushfaces in that body wilthen show themselves car
rying out their real principles There will tie four
tors from New England; two from Mait,e one from
New Hampshire and one from Connecticut The an
preparation bills going through the Hoase of Rep
resentatiVes quite easily, and to large amount there
being no very we organized opposition party In Con-
eress, at the present time Northern interests are be-
ginning to obtain the asceadancy in the councils Of the
Nation aad this is slightly seeninthe selection IL three
OF the Cabinet officers, viz the secretaryo the Treas
