those doctrines"
The New York Express, a Union Compro-
mise paper, urges upon the Northern people
as a reason why they should observe the fu-
gitive slave law-that s.TiIE SOUTH HAVING
LOST FIVE OF THE COMPROMISE MEASURES CAN
NOT BE EXPECTED TO TOLERATE DISREGARD OF
THE ONLY ONE SHE DID GET.
What the Outsiders Think.
The London Times, the ''ablest Journal in
Europe, says of the Compromise Bill.
''Siavery may in consequence of these
measures be considered doomed in the Uni
ted States, and men now living may see its
utter extinction within the wide Territo-
ries of the Republic.''
ADMISSION OF CALIFORNIA
Extract from speech of Mr.. FooTE
have no hesitation in declaring it INV
solemn, dispassiOnate conviction, that if
California dragged into the Union in the
mode now proposed, the Southern States of
the ConfedeTacy will feel that all hope of
fraternaI Compromise has become extinct,
and that such intolerable oppression has
been already imposed upon them to justi.
| fly, nay, to demand Secession from the U-
Mon, in order te save themselves from evils
still worse than dis.uniOn itself.
| Again he says:
! ssAit must perceive that the admission of
California, in the hasty aud obj jectionable e
mode now proposed, will necessarily have
| the effect of strengthening the North at the
expense OF the South-of multiplying the
number of voters IN both Houses of Con-
esess adverse 30 the South upon all pending
questions involved in the subject Of slave

Extract from letter of the Hon. VIM
Z. KING, dated June 10th, 1851:
81 could not fail to see that most of
those who advocated the admission of
/ Taf xx-ifh ha,-
would, but for tie prohibition of slavery
contained in her constitution, have been
! the most violent in opposition to her re-
ception into the Union. She owed her
admission, then, to the fact that the peo-
pie of the slaveholding States were de-
prived OF an equal participation in a ter
ritory which of right equally belonged
to the citizens of the States. Finding
that there was a fixed majority determin-
ed to perpetrate this act of injustice, if
brought to the direct vote, / made an ef-
fort to curtail the limits Of the State, so
that territorial government might be es-
tablished south of the Sierra Nevada. AT
one time the prospect was fair that my
proposition, so proper in itself, would sue

became State with a thousand miles OF

Do the New York Sun thus exults
over the passage of the California bill
through the Senate as a great abolition tri-
umph:

Extract from the July number of Brown
sons Review" published in Boston,:
Speaking of the Rev. Theodore Parker,
violent freesoiler and abolitionist he
says
"And what is of more serious conse-
quence, the party of which this fierce de-
claimer is an accredited organ is now in
power in this State, and has the governor
and the majority of the representatives in
both houses of Congress. 1t rules or
misrules the great State of Ohio; it is nu-
merous in Pennsylvania, almost the major
ity in New York, triumphant in Vermont.
and we can but just not say, also in New
Hampshire. Its principles are entertain

to the party. Nearly every member OF
Congress from this State, with the excep-
