Gov. WELLER AND THE STATE PInsoS.--On Fri
day of last week. the Legislature passed act t
take the State Prison from the hands of the Lessee
and place it, temporarily, under the charge of thu
Governor, Leat-Goyernor, and Secretary of State
The Governor and his associates promptly pro
ceeded to the Prison and demanded the keys and
seal. The acting Superintendent peremptorily re-
fused to give them up, whereupon they were at
once taken by force. Formal possession was I'M
mediately taken, the Governor forthwith dischar-
eing all the old officers aud then eitherhirng them
anew or placing new ones in their stead. Soon
after the Lessee arrived with officers aud papers to
"cstop,r &c, but it was too late; the Prison had
been wrested from the hands Of the cormorants, and
now the Legislature will be able TO make arrange
ments for the support and government of the prs-
oners at cost that will be tritling when compared
with the enormous sums that have heretofore been
annually stolen from the people for thispurpose.
This admirable c0up de efat Of the Governor,
(as the State Journal very properly styles t,) is
an index to the character of the man. John b..
Weller has never failed in an emergency, nor will
he The people of California may rest assured that
they have the right man in the Executive Chair
KANSAS IN THE AssEmBLY-The Assembly of Cal
ilornia, on Thursday last, by vote of 40 to is,
passed resolutions instructing our delegation in
Congress to vote for the immediate admission Of
Kansas under the Lecompton Constitution. The
matter not, as had been predicted, discussed
for many days" Members had an opportunity to
explain their votes and many of them did so--some
of those voting for the resolutions stating or nti-
mating, we believe that they had discovered no
very material difference between the respective
positions of Mr.. Buchanan and MI. Douglas.
KANsAs.-The President has submitted
the Lecompton Constitution to Congress, and
strongly recommends the admission Of Kan
sas as State Mr. Buchanan argues that
under the decision Of the Supreme Court of
the United States, slavery already exists in
Kansas; that it can never be prohibited ex-
cept by constitutional provision; that the
free state men, if they have the majority,
have already had two opportunities TO reject
slavery, whlch opportunities they refused to
take advantage of that those composing
this majority" if majority they really
have, are in state of absolute rebellion
against the Government; and finally, that
the admission of Kansas, as sovereign
State, is the only method of putting an end
to agitation not only in Kansas, but through
out the Union. 1t will have to be admitted
on all sides that the President argues with
great ability.
Upon full view Of the Kansas question,
as it stood at the sailing of the last steamer,
we are inclined to the opinion that the wis
dom of Democracy will bring about its solu-
tion, without any serious disruption Of the
party, before many weeks.
