Shall Gen. Taylor be sustained.

In other words shall California be admitted -shall the doctrine of the administration and of Mr. Clay, that freedom is now the Supreme law in the New Territories, triumph under the auspices of those who proclaim it; shall New Mexico continue to be preserved against the cupidity of Texas; shall that declaration in the special message, that Congress has plenary power to legislate over the territories be affirmed.

Gen. Taylor and his friends are exerting all their energies on the affirmative side of these questions. Those who seek to overthrow or embarrass the Administration are practically enlisted in the warfare for the triumph of, those who shut the door in the Union on California, unless she allow her boundaries to be cut down by the slave states, or unless she first plant the cancer of Slavery in her own bosom--unless she comes encumbered with manacles and chains.--Northern (N. Y.) State Journal.

We believe that Gen. Taylor will be sustained. The wise and the good in all parts of the Union are with him. His policy laid down in his California message, is in all respects enlightened and patriotic. It is only surpassing that opposition to the admission of California as a state, should come from so foul a quarter. Such opposition must be unavailing, for it has nothing of justice or equity to rest on.--N. Y. Eve. Jour.

It is a duty of the West as well as the North to sustain Gen. Taylor and his Administration -not a lukewarm, don't care support--but a cordial, vigorous, unanimous effort. California knocks at the Union with a free constitution—Gen. Taylor says let her in at once and as she is--but the ultraists at the South declare they will oppose her admission to the 'bitter end.' The time has come for the free States to present an united front, and thus secure freedom to the great Pacific possessions.

The People, despite the efforts of demagogue agitators and flatterers, are taking position with the Old Hero in this crisis- They will sustain him, and their servants at Washington must do so, or be held responsible by an indignant constituency.--Cincinnati Herald.
