the extension of the laws and Constitution
Of the United Sistes into California. For.
this he was assai'ed by The Free Soil press
of the country, and denounced in The most

The resolution lies over, and will not in

After the disposal of some nnimpor,ant

Mr.. Turney 10 take up the bill TO amend

The bill for the adjustment, of California
