SLAVERY IN THE u. STATES.

III TIC lolloWit lcllcr, WHICH we Hiu III
the last Savannah papers, we recognize the
precise sentiments and opinions which we
have frequently had occasion to express,
and which we are glad to be able to sus-
tain by such high authority.-.Nat. Intel.
New YORK, May II, 1888.
My Dear Sir: have received your let
ter of last evening, requesting me to state
my opinion Of the powers of congress on
the subject of slaves and slavery; and of
the existence of any wish or design, on the
part of northern men, to interfere with the
security or regulation of that species of
property.
My sentiments on this subject, my dear
sir, have been often publicly expressed, but
| can have no objection to repeat the dec
laration of them, if it be thought by you
that such declaration might, in the small
est degree, aid the friends of the Union
and the constitution in the south, in dis
polling prcjudices which are so Industrious
iy fostered, aud in quoting agitation so I'M
necessarily kept Hlive.
In my opinion, the domestic slavery of
the southern states is subject within the
exclusive control of the states themselves;
and this, am sure, is the opinion of the
interfere in the emancipation of slaves, or
in the treatment of them in any of the
states. This was so resolved by the house
of Representatives, when congress sat in
this city in 1890, on the report of COM
mittee, consisting almost entirely of north
ern members; and | do not know an in
stance of the expressions of a different
opinion, in either house of congress, since
cannot say that particular individuals
might not possibly be found who suppose
that congress may possess some power over
the subject, but do not know any such
persons, and if there be any, am sure
they are few. The servitude of so great
a portion of the population of the south
is undoubtedly regarded at the north, as
a great evil, moral and political; and the
discussions upon it, which have recently
taken place in the legislatures of several
of the slaveholding states, have been read
with very deep interest.
But it is regarded nevertheless, as an e.
vii the remedy for which lies with those
legislatures themselves, to be applied ac
cording to their own sense of policy and
duty. The imputations which you say
and say truly, are constantly made against
the noftn, are, IN my OPINION, entrely deS
titute of any just foundation. I have en-
deavored to repel them, so far as has been
in my power, on all proper occasions; and
for fuller expression of my own opinions,
both on the power of congress, aud on the
groundless charges against northern men,
beg leave to refer you to my remarks in
the debate on Mr.. Foot's resolutions in
1880.
am, dear sir, with much true regard,
Your obedient servant,
DANIEL WEBSTER.

REMOVAL OF lNDIANs-We learn from the
Ga enian, that Col. DODGE of the drapoors has
succeeded in effecting the removal of all the
Winnebago Indians across the Wisconsin. ac-
cording to the stipuIations of the treaty Of last
summer. The removal, from all we learn. an
pears to have been accomplished without DIFF
ticulty, or resistance on the part of the Indians.
The same paper adds, that Col. d. has also
managed to get hold of tn, mlrIerers who es-
capped from Fort Winnebago last fall, and has
them In confinement at that place where they
will await their trial

Somebody, who addresses us through the posi-
office, in disguised hand, and with out name
wishes to know how we treat member Of a
temperance society who breaks its rules. AS
the public cannot be very much interested in
knowing our peculiar mode of treatment in
such cases, the writer, perhaps, had better call
and put his interrogatories pira roce Posi-
bly, he might get served (were he the ernns
member) much as Tom Slyly was when he

was, it is to be hoped he will digest the matter

believers in Kidd's money, at work in a
field, accidentally discovered upon the top

Eager for the money, and not entertain

hours, they finally succeeded, and with
some difficulty read on the bottom

to resist the tn, proposed emancipation of the

the British parliament persevere, the con

The health of our town continues unu-
sually good. We have had less sickness
the present season, than for several sum.
mers past. The only death which has oc.
Cured (within our recollection) since Jan.
uary last. is the decease of Mr.. Enos, a
respectable citizen, past middle .ge, who
died on Monday morning the 22d inst. The
case of Mr.. Enos is reported by attending
physicians as one of real cholera. Yet il
occasions no alarm-indeed there is no oc.
casion for any. tits now five days since
Mr.. Enos was first attacked; yet we hear
of no new cases of cholera, or any thing
resembling it-a fact very rare in the his
tory of the disease where it has prevailed
to any extent.
Though the case of Mr.. Enos excites ne
alarm nor creates any more serious appre
hension that the disease will prevail among
US, than has been felt for weeks; yet il
should admonish us to beware of exposure
and by all means to guard against exciting
causes. Mr.. Enos, s or 10 days before hi;
death, started from home en- a trip to ST.
Louis, then not in very good health. Or
his return he was much exposed to a scorch
ing sun and fatigued with travelling: when
within few miles of town FRIDAY eve
ning) he drank very freely of cold water
and was soon after taken with diarrhea,
which increased, attended with symptoms
of cholera, till his death.
We have no disposition to conceal or
misrepresent any thing relating to the pub.
lie health. Our statements correspond
with fact, and we repeat, the health OF
the place has rarely been better at this
season of the year People from the
country and strangers need be under no
apprehension in visiting us.

Galena.-During the last days of June and

remarks; Since the 10Th ult., it has taken from

ordinary malignity The disease was not ex

any certainty of relief. No sooner, however.

Of the disease, than an entire check was given
