THE PLoTTERs IN CALIFORNIA.

The pro-slayery men in California having
bcen baffled thus far in their diabolical scheme
for the overthrow of Free Labor institutions in
that State, are trying to divert public atten
ton from their own miserable intrigues by iu
rious denunciations against the AbohtonistS
They charge upon them the delay in the adj
mission of California into the Union. knowing
the charge to be grossly false. The admission
of California from its first application was ur-
gently advocated 10y every Anti-Slayery mem
Der of Congress, and resisted only by fac
ton determined % stop the wheels Of Gov
eminent rather than yield one hairs breadth
1t was the sayeholding interest that kept Cal
iforna out of the Union first, with view to
run the Missouri line through it, and make the
lower half of it slave State; and secondly. Tor
the purpose of extorting from the North, as the
price of the recognition of a sovereign non-save-
holding State, the sacrifice Of the Wilmot Pro-

cious against the Abolitonists in California.
on its guard respecting this willy enemy. Abb
olitionsm must be closely watched, and every
one who takes part in, or aids abetS it, should
be looked upon as public enemy, unworthy of
Office or support 1t cannot he, that this vile
incendiarism shall be permitted to have a foot
ing in this State Even in New Hampshire,
that lowest depth of Abolitionism, that State,
which was at one time SO sunk in AbolitiOnism
as to elect John p. Hale to the United States
Senate and to be considered beyond even the
hope of resurrection, that State which literally
stoned the prophets and set at nought the
teachings and admonitions OF the founders of
the Republic and of the immortal Washington
himself; even New Hampshire has returned to
her senses, and has in her recent elections re-
pudiated the vile thing. Shall we in Califor-
nia--the latest born Of our Republican family,
at this day, and with the results of fanaticism
before US in the old States-shall we embark
in a wild crusade against the Constitution and
our fcow-citzens of the Southern States, in
pursuit Of phantom, and for the benefit of a
few designing persons, whose only object is the
spoils of office We shall see"
Pretty talk from wild crusader against the
Constitution of California and its peculiar in
against the rights and interests of its
citizens especially OF those who earn their liv-
ing by the sweat Of their brows!
He is I'm Abolitionist of the worst and vilest
kind-he seeks the abolition of freedom and
free labor, and in the prosecution of this afro
cious object, he would abolish freedom of speech
and of the press, and prescribe every citizen
who is laboring to arouse the people of Callor.

religious question; but the Democratic resolve
does, in the comprehensive unqualified term
under whatever shape or color"
These resolves are in the nature OF pledges
to abridge or destroy Freedom OF Discussion
and. as such are at war with the Constitution
of the United States, the fundamental doc
trines of Democracy, Natural Right, and the
spirit of the age. Those who voted for and now
sustain them, whatever their intention, are
enemies of the cause of Freedom, and allies
of the cause of Despotism. Were their power
equal to their will American citizens would be
as much under censorship as the submissive
subjects of Louis Napoleon. But they are as
foolish as they are criminal. Both Conven-
tons contemplate the possibility of amend
ments to the Fugitive Law. to prevent eva
sion. or correct abuse Can such amendments
be effected without the agitation they pledge
themselves to "discountenance or resist !" The
prompt response in Congress to the Democratic
resolutions was powerful speech by MIR Ran
tout against the constitutionality Of the Fugi-
tive Law! Does any one suppose, that should
California appear in Congress asking a divi-
sion of her territory agitation could be
kept down? How are you to keep the Ameri-
can People from talking or writing about Sla-
very, or religious denominations from acting
on the subject! And do you think you can
gag the Era, or shut up the market for Uncle
TOMS Cabin The very men who have con-
strained you to adopt these wicked and absurd
resolutions, will force you to disregard them
for they are the real agtators Who but they
forced You to make an issue on the finalty OF
certain laws respecting Slavery, which no
member of Congress had moved to repeal
And who but they will, whenever it pleases
them, force upon you sectional, Slavery issue,
thereby arousing and provoking the Anti-Sla-
very sentiment of the countryt
But we take your resolve as the evidence,
not of what you can do, but of what you
rouH. BY your intention, not your perform
ance, the People will judge you, and the time will
yet come when what you have resolved, but not
accomplished will cover you with infamy.

with the history Of the acts and sayings of the
