This is the entire section, and I desire could give, to a Senator on the floor of the Senate, who denied that California was a State. But for one moment let us see, if “ people and territory'j-alone, constitute a State in the moaning of the Constitution, and if Congress is compe tent to-admit them into the Union, if in the exercise of that power no regard is to be paid to the number of the people, or the’extent of territory constiiuting the Slate. Suppose one thousand Pe ruvians, or a like number from the Is lands of the Pacific, had landed in Cal* ifornia, taken possession of the public lands, called a Convention, formed a Constitution, elected their Senators and Representatives, and demanded admission into this Union, would it have been competent for Congress to have admitted them os a State?— Would the South have submitted to so gross un ahuse of power? Let Mr. Clay answer this question. In the same debate, and in the same speech of Mr Clay, to which 1 have referred, he says *» 1 contend, if a people form a const it u tion, I do not care ichat sort of people they arc, of what color they are, what right they hasp to the soil, how they came there, wheth er for temporary or permanent pvrposcs, and if Congress chooses, upon the pre sentation of the Constitution framed by such people, to admit them. Con gress has the power to do so.” Here fifteen were natives of the slave Stales, twenty one of non-sinveholding States, ami twelve of California and Europe; and this convention, though limited by the proclamation of the Go vernor to the number of thirty seven, and which is the sole authority under which it assembled, was increased to forty-eight without the pretence of au thority from any power save its own sovereign will; and being thus organ ized, adopted a constitution containing the Wilmol Proviso.' It is transmitted to Congress. Senators and Represen tatives demanding their scats on the floors of the two houses, claim the right of speaking and voting upon the great questions of national concernment, af fecting your rights and others, and Con gress receives them. Here was a pro ceeding admitted on all hands to be irregular, but in fact, much worse, whol ly and absolutely void, binding upon none, not even Delegates that formed it, and incapable of acting upon persons or property, but which by the act of Congress, is given life, efficiency and power to exclude your property from ev er entering California; yet we are told that principle an<t that portion of the Cali fornia constitution containingihe Wilmot Proviso, is not the act of Congress, be cause to concede that, would be to ad mit Congress had passed the Wilmol meet in the l to direct your attention to the fact, that 1st Sept. 1S49; | ihe powers of Congress are precisely ghl Delegates, of the same in admitting new States into " * the Union, '‘formed by the junction of two or more Slates, or parts of Slates” by the consent of the Legislature of the Stales concerned that they are to ad mit new Slates from the territories.— New York, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Maine, New Jersey and Connecticut, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Iowa nd Wisconsin, may carve out ten, twenty or any number, of States they please, by the consent of Congress, and thus acquire the streugth in the Senate of the United States so to amend the constitution, as to give a majority in Congress the-power to abolish slavery the Stales.

But for the orer-weening ambition of public men, and their inordinate craving for National offices, die South would be a unit. The whole matter is so clear, that any man who wifi take the trouble to think for himself, and cast one- single glance below tlie surface, cannot tail to un derstand it in all its bearings. The Mexican war was closed by the treaty ot Guadalope Hidalgo.— By the stipulations of that treaty, Mexico ceded to the Unikad^itates n vast area of territory. The *~ North proclaimed that slavery should never enter any portion ol it, although Southern troops had conquered it, and Southern money paid for it.— Southern men bristled up at this, and talked of fn- ry, blood, and “ war to the knife.” All parties— all men—would give up to frce-soili»m all the terri tory north of 36, 30, because they had on a mor occasion agreed Io do so, but up to that line they would have, or dig their graves there. Ob! ••our army swore terribly in Flanders!” These same valiant gentlemen are now advocating sub mission to an arrangement which does not give the South one foot o! the'territory, and blots out the 1 Missouri compromise, which secured to us all South | nl the tine. The question has been settled ; and j ho.v ? Why, in a manner which calls down upon [ us, even from the North itself, sneers, sarcasm, and Well may the North deride us, and lanimity and stupidity.— territories, the majority in the Senate acted in tbei . admission of California. So irregular and so incomplete was its claim to ad* (mission, that the great leader and chaicq ‘man of the comraiitee, in defending this measure against the unanswerable ur- gumcnis delivered on the occasion by yoar own distinguished Senator, Mr. Berrien, mid Judge Butler of South Carolina and others, that he was forced to assume' ground that should arouse every man in the South. For one mo ment think ofit. That il matters not “ what tort of jtrople,” whether bond free, •* what color they ore.” Mark this, foi he embraces the African slave wbb the white mAn, as well at all other in- leffnediaie shades, colors and condi tions of the human family, he cares not “ what right they have to the soil,” how they came, whether for temporary «r permanent purposes, if Congress “chootes,” it has the power to admit them into the Union upon the presentation of a Con stitution. These ate the powers claim- ed for CooS rrM » * n l ^ e admission of J new States. Let us follow out some of the consequences of the pricinlet in volved in the admission of Cali fornia. Suppose there was a colony of fugitive slaves to lake possession of the public domain in a territory of the. United Slates, and having gone through the formula, that California has, (for Mr. Clay says it matters not “ what sort ol people they arc,*’ “ or what color they are,” if Congress chooses upon the pre- sentfilion of the Constitution formed by such people. Congress has the power to admit litem,) would you submit to it ? Ami if you would not submit to it, can you point out the difference in princi ple, between such a case and the one that has already necured in the ad- * mission of California? It is no answer to the argument to say that in tbe case of California, wc,believe and Congress believed that American citizens had gone there, that the debates in their Convention with the names of the dele gates. general report, private corres pondence, and the oral testimony of re- speetnble men established the lact.— This is not the evidence, or medium through which it should lie obtained, to render Congress competent to admit these people into the Union. And yet such is the character of the evidence, •nd such' the principles of this great measure of pncificnlion by which pence, concord and ha rmeny are to be restor ed, and l»y which, should be added, we • have gained much by losing all. How stood the question and the •facts lie fore Congress, when recklessly it resolve.! to admit California- in the Union ? Briefly thus: Individuals from different portions of the Union, and tor- eigiters from-every country, were at tracted thither by the glowing accounts published in this' country and Europe, ■ of the inexhaustible mines of gold in that region. They were v thero ns ad* venturers, not ,*is citizens or perma nent residents identified with' tlweoaii* try, by mvriingand idling the soil. Tor the Government had-not, up to ibis lime, disposed of one', acj® of t his im mense territory. Thus congregated, Hccordhig to the laws of. |h« United StMcs.ihey were trespassers upon the |m!ilic'(l«Mirtin, purchased by-your idnod nod your treasure, in common with the blood and treasure of the t-ili-. lens ofot her portion* of the Union; of course. I do inu.do this statement, re- ^ ferto the'.Mexicans nr the lands owned ; by nr tinder ihem^who under the frea- ■ jy,had rights secured, and who I have seete it stated numbered three tho'isnnd- i5'neb,^.'as4hb'em»dilitm_ and character the Union, we could now carr slaves there, and as Congress i^ alone competent to admit States, it is alone answerable to the South for thiy act of injustice^Let the candid man tell me, when the constitution of Cal- fornia was presented, and the claim of its people to admission into the Union was made, why it was that Congress did not respond that the 3d section of the 4th article of the constitution of the Uni ted Slates declares : “ The Congress shall have power to dispose of and make all needful rules and regulations respect ing the territory or other property belong ing to the United States,“and until this duty was per iorired in respect to Califor nia, il could not be recognized as a Slate. Did Congress remind the pcoplo of this distant region that the territory they had taken possession of, was, of right,the pro perly of.all the people of all the States of iheUnion.nnd upon Congress alone de volved the duty so to regulate the same, that this equality of right, and equality the enjoyment of the same, should be :ured to all tbe people, and that this was a paramount constitutional obliga tion that ought not to be delayed, ar.d could not tie avoided? Oh,no! far Iroir. it. Congress, in violation of a plain obliga tion enjoined under the constitution, re fused to perform its duty in this respect and in this act of wilful omission, seeks to find a justification for abandon ing the Territory to the will of accident al occupants for the time, a large pro portion of whom had neither wife, kin dred, or home in tlie country for which they provide a Government excluding the citizens and properly of fifteen slates of this Union. The history of .no age or country furnishes a more deplorable instance of wrong, or unblushing fraud than the legislation ol Congress gard to California. It refused to cise acknowledged powers to pass all needful rules and regulations in respect to this territory. And for what reason ? That California might make a constitu tion containing the Wilmol Proviso, berof their slaves, and that Congress might say in admit ting her as a State, this hateful proviso vras not its act, but the act of the people of California; and that yoa gentlemen, and the people, «.f -the South are estop ped—your bps sealed, because it is the first fruits of the great republican prin ciple of non-inrertmrhmi t Yes, Congress refused to pass laws as it was bound to do fl.r ibis territory, aud for such of the people of tho States as might choose to go.ihere; protecting alike whatever was regarded as property in the States from whence they came, that a State consti tution might be formed, no matter by d whfU sort of people, what color, what right they had to the soil, how they came there, whether for temporary or permanent pnr- jtosts.” with the express object of de- fraudiqg yon and the whole South of right and privilege of settling in to believe, that Congress is not now* the act admitting California, is nothing | them know little of our internai aifiti 'prepared, and will not hereafter stand -more, nor less than the Wilmot Proviso, i insurrection would be something prepared, to commit like lawless acts of in its most.odious form, I have in con- | tnuch more serious ; but from this we oppression, at the bidding of the free elusion to add, that I entertain the , apprehend no danger.

A formidable apparatus of balloons, of an elliptical form, and firmly secured, would sup port in the air the extremity of these chains, which would be strongly fasten ed to the abutments on the shore by other chains. Each section of 100 yards would cost SOO.OOOf., which would make 84 millions for the whole distance across.
