.4n0ther negro state.


A resolution is already before Con
gress for erecting another state In the
south western wilderness. The reader
may remember that during the last ses
sion it was proposed to divide the Mis-
sissiPPi territory, and form those divl
stems Into two states-although the
whole territory does mol contain the re-
quisite number Of 7yhite inhabitants for
one congressional representative. The
project was postponed for that session,
probably because the French and Me-
gro Orleans Territory was entitled To
the first elevation, and the simultaneous
erection Of threcor four these copper
c0lOured repubhcks, might possibly
have startled our nothern gudgeOns in
congress. But not week Of the pre-
sent session is suffered to eIapse before
the project is renewed, and ere il closes
will probaly succeed. illus some halt
dozen slave votes will add darkness to
the shade of our national councils and
help 10 secure presidential elections III
behalf Of Virginia.
How long, permit US to inquire, how
long are the WHITE STATES 10 submit
to this abuse Of an intolerable rotten
part in the constitution LII more than
time that every nothern man had his
eyes open on this subject and, whatever
are bis party attachments, should de

instantly purified Of its odious black
feature.
