Rensselaer Gazette, Volume 3, Number 5, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 25 May 1859 — A California Slave State Project. [ARTICLE]

A California Slave State Project.

Ttie Washington States. Douglas' organ at the Federal Capital, is greatly rejoiced at the prospects of another slave State coining into the Union by the proposed division oi Cali'ornia. The State's joy is premature. Although he Democratic doughface majority in each branch of the California Legislature have given their sanction to the proposed division, in order to form a new slave State, to be called Colorado, yet before the scheme shall be consumated, the consent of Congress will be necessary. With an Opposition majority in the House of Representatives, we fancy that this new slavery extending project will be considerably “used up” before the Propagandists get it fairly before Congress next winter.
