Washington, Jan. 2.
The Message of the Governor of Ma-
ylaud treats the subject which now agi
tates the country, in a manner that will
cheer the South, and impress Congress
with a belief that a crisis has arrived
in which that subject must be settled.
All doubts as to the cr
are now removed. From
of the general sentiment of the Assem
bly, they are, I am certain, prepared to
echo the sentiments of Gov. Thomas
It is now understood hei
northern members are in favor of letting
the subject alone. They propose toadmil
California, and to leave New Mexico and
Deseret to shift for themselves, as they
best can. . Numerous propositions of
compromise are to be offered.
President Taylor has proposed to
admit California, and to await the ac
tion of New Mexico. He advises against
the introduction of topics of* a sectional
character, such as the Wilmot Proviso;
for though he does not name it, he evi
dently points to it. That it is his deter
mination to veto it, should it pass, there
can scarcely be a doubt.
The northern men, with whom I have
conferred to-day, s,ny that they wish to
<l_.lieterrilori.il ques.ion, and ll.nl S>om G r iffin
if territorial governments for New Mexi- I , n 'p
>and Deseret should be proposed, they j . v t. n
