In cmraon wttii a imjoray of the South, I entrrtained ohjee ions to this bifl; I preferred that a territorial government should have been provided for California, as was done for Utah and New .Mexico. It would huo been a innre regular and appropriate mode of disposing of that portion of the teirilo ry; but the failure to do so I do not re gard ss a violation of the constitution or ; the right of tho South. In Ihe admission f California, Congress exercised a power expressly ronlerred upon it by the con mimiion, "Io admit new States into tht lha Union;" snd though our judgments do not w holly approve of the exercise of that discretionary power in this instance, it constitutes no snrh cause of complaint against the government as would justify the resistance w hich has been indicated by the enemies of the Comptomise and the advocates of die union. The principle upon which California was admitted Into the Union, with her constitution prohibiting slavery, has rrr received the sanction of southern states men.
