CALIFORNIA IN CONGRESS-.

Congress in 1842 passed an act directing tne
division of the several States into Congressional
Districts, and expressly providing that no one
| District shall elect more than one representa-
| tive. This statute has thus far been disregarded
| by California That State is now represented,
| or rather will claim to be after the first Mon
| day in December next by two persons, Messrs.
| Denver and Herbert, who were chosen by gen.
| eral ticktt-ch0sen in defiance Of the supreme
| law of the land
California, we repeat, has never been divided
| into separate Congressional districts. The
Legislature has been under the control of men
who have considered it for their interest to
have no division, and that body has refused to
discharge ts duty-refused to do what every
other State in the Union has done. Now the
question arises, shall the representatives from
California be admitted upon the floor Of Con.
gressi Ought they to be admitted Agreeing
in political sentiment with the party which has
been in the ascendant in the House of Repre-
sentatiyes for several years past, the represen-
tatiyts from that State have of course expert
enced no difficulty in gaining admission; there
has been no effort to deprive them of seats, for
the very good reason that such effort would
have been almost certain to result in failure.
But the next House of Representatives will
be different affair. Ii will be opposed to the
Administration. 1t will be composed of men, a
majority Of whom will differ with the California
gentlemen upon nearly all the great political
questions of the day; and while that fact should
have no weight in determining the question I'M
der consideration the question whether the
gentlemen assuming to represent the State of
California were or were not legally eected-it
may with great propriety be insisted that men
assuming a high regard for law-human Law, we
mean, we believe they ignore "higher law"
ideas-should be required to swallow their ewn
prescriptions.
On this ground it is plain that Messrs. Denver
and Herbert should be sent home. No repre-
sentative should be admitted to a seat until the
State shall be divided in pursuance of the act of
Congress, until its representatives shall be
elected by single Districts. Who will complain
if these representatives are denied seats in the
House2 They certainly cannot. Those who
sympathise with them in sentiment in the House
cannot The majority in that body owe it to
themselves, to their reputation as men OF ln-
tegrity, and as advocates Of justice and sup
porters of law, to send them home, and we con-
fdently expect TO see it done.

the yeriest scoundrel in the world.

porston, which will be found in another column
of this paper, is a carefully drawn and web csi'
ored picture Of the disadvantages Of Consti-
tusSO1 al as compared With Despotic Govern
ment in the management of war. But the
picture is purely one sided and the fa'oring
brush laid freely on. Probably the Prince felt
in bis own person and in the punishment OF un-
popularity to which he had been temporarily
subjected, the peculiar Inconvenience of Con-
stitutionalsm. His own experience is pledge
of his sincerity. 1t would have been far pleas
anter without doubt TO have been permitted to
consult the Coburg interest, and introduce with
out interruption Germsbic ideas into the dis
patches of England 1t would be less CALLING
not TO be compelled to accept as chief of the
Ministry the very man who most keeF lyresented
this interference, and whose spirited English
resentment created that swell of popularity on
which he rode into power. In despotic coun-
tries they manage things differently, without
doubt, and in manner more agreeable to the
Prince Consort. That it is however possible to
combine with thorough republican and popu-
lar Government all the advantages ascribed TO
Absolutism by the Prince is, we think, suscep
tiblc of demonstration.
AS far as Prince Albert is concerned, we may
well doubt whether the utterance Of such want
of confidence in Constitutional Government at
such an hour is consistent with prudence or
conducive to popularity. These are not times
to venture or experiments. Not far from his
own Palace stands another which furnishes
many memorials of what even the mghtiest of
morarchs msy at any moment become. From
an occasional meditation among the quiet walks
of that grave of so much knghood, Clermont,
he may draw more wisdom than from words.
John Bull does not like any man to move out Of
his regular line of business. John supports the
Palace and its pleasures as he supports the
Ams.House. He believes both to be for the
protection of society and both equally institu-
tions of his far-famed system. /. were wise
and well for the Prince TO obey the humor
of his master. An English hali-crown with all
its imperfectOns is a pleasant exchange from
Coburg.
