SETTLEMENT OF THE SOUT8
ER1N QUESTIO.
The Souih will never relingish her po
sition. 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.

ANECDOTEt OF Passton~st A DAts.

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

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
