Walker is determined TO become famous
in history. He certainly is man Of enc

The news from this quarter is fiarseI-

increasing. they are daily becoming
stronger and more formidable. The
Democratic Press, of Chicago, says:
"Ano,her month of continued success
will render his triamph inevitable, and
the filiibustefing invasion will then BE-
dignifed by the more honorable appella-
ion Of Revolution
The operations in Lower California
lave Ter etofore been looked upon as a
wild scheme OF few desperadoes, but at
present the indications are that President
Walker and his companions will achieve
a permanent foo,hold, and eventually
establish the Republic of Sonora on a
tirm basis, and add another star in the
galaxy of free governments and render
his name Immortal

We nave heretofore aid mach upon
this bin, belisving il to b an aggression
by the South and AZ outrage upon the
North, and our opinion has not changed.
The bill has now passed the Senate after
having received all the amendments and
revising which the "chivalrous" South
desired, and rejecting every salu,ary
amendmcn. offered in behalf Of the free
pc ople Of the North. l, is the anques.
tionable object Of this bill to lcgisla,e
slavery into these territories. l an
object should be met with hostility by
every freeman, and none should shrink
lom duty when denounced as an "Abol-
ishins.," There is nothing in name,
says Shskespear. 1t matters no, what
odious epi,het may be heamd upon the
opposers Of this bill. the principle is the
same. It is not an interference with the
peculiar institution Of the South. nor an
endeavor to rob them Of their bir,hright,
or NEEDLE with the property which has
been entalled upon them, that induces
opposition to this measure, but it is an
abiding sense Of justice in the people
which prompts them to save these terrific
ries from the blight Of slavery--to arrest
the fearful increase of this ,raGc.
To illustrate the federation Of slave in
terests in the matter, and their determi-
nation TO force this scourge upon this free
territory, to be borne by the people there
of forever, we will give an amendment
or two which was rejected a, the time Of
its passage in the Senate. Seeing the
bill was destined to pass, Mr.. Chase
moved an amendment to the l4th section
that ",he Legislature OF the territory be
not precluded from prohibiting slavery
therein" This amendment was rejected
10 yeas-36 nays.
What can the advocates OF 'self-gov.
ernment' say to ,hisa The repeal of the
Missouri Compromise was sought that
the people may govern themselves, yet
in the same breath they say they must
not prohibit slarery! The RICH, Of the
local Legislation to p1phibi, ii, has long
been the position OF Mr., Cass on this
question, yet j, Is now denied by Con.
gress. ...
Another amendment was offered, in
opposition to establishing two dis,inc, ter
ritories, and to make the officers elective
