Congress nust lay aside the Wil mt.1 Proviso ntid mnove in her ,arpprroe wt hit, or the South will seek rdress out side of its halls. Nor can the qutaes'iom lie settled by the insiduous policy of General Taylor, which works out tie object of the free soilers at the sacrifice of all the past tsa-:e in the frtmation of territorial gov. ernments. Gen. Taylor, employed. with out doubt, Coal. Riley and Mr. King for tie purpose. of establislihing a govertment int CaliIforniia. to the exclusion f slavery, antd (of -introducing into Congress a consittution which would dispense with the necessity of the Vilmot Proviso and the alternative of signing a bill with tihat proviso insdried. The whole series of events shows conclu ively that this and no other purpose was intended by Gen. Taylor. It is trilling w:ih the' South. We can see no dif. rence bet ween an aer of Congress insert ig the Wilmot Proviso in a 6tate Con stitution, and its insertion by an illegitimate onvention in a portion of an embryo ter ritory,.- ig. There is nothing in it hnt gross subterfuge. It presupposes that the South eanAe i:asily satisied, and that it is a mere petite ouerre-sham fight. ibat we are nakirig with the North. Col. Riley could derive no anthority fronmLen. Tay or to establish a civil government. r-ver was it otity of this Kind tsed by a IrLsi de t. In he case of Florida and of Louis a'a, the *ors exercised by the Prseident itt contitirii the existing Spanish and French envrtarenpts until others were erected by Congress, were derived frotn acts of that body. Congress first imparted the power to the President; and hal ithis ot taken ptace- the conseiluence would have been, a resort to a purely military police. It is only to this extent that Col. Riley had any po"#r to act .as the repre sentative of the army of the United States. The usage of the federal government in. the erection of territories and State< is a mat ter of history. It o itl case has a single territory west (if the Alleghany mountaiis been permitted to organize its government without the supervisory action of Congress.

The stotrm which burst in such wid fairy upon the House on yesterday. an4 which raied so fiercely for a ime. though not hushed into a (alIn, has, to a great Ce gree, subsided. How long it will remain so I catttnt say. The deep-rootel preju dices of the people of the North. are no- in lie eradicated by feeling uppeals to their parriotisi, or laive of justice. They will undoubtedly persevere in that system ol aggression which they have contedccal. and thtirngh the present excitement may he stilled, they will sooner or later, bv theirjibes and taunts, arouse another antd itnightier storm, which, I vary much fear, will upr.ot the pi!lars of the Union. and scatter the seeds of discord utid disstEIsiUn throughout our common country.
