government is not more French Canadian govern

government Is not more French Canadian govern
ment than was its predecessor, except so tar as It
has from the French Canadian people that support
which its predecessors endeavored, but failed, to
obtain and that, in the present state of parties,
Canada cannot be cOnstltutionally ruled by any
government which does not secure the cc-opera-
ton of the French Canadians
There is still another assumption which we have
TO contradict. 1t is said that the present cabinet
consists of men who were leaders of the party
which rebelled. If Lafontaine was implicated in
the rebellion, so was Viger. There were in the late
cabinet men who risked their property and their
lives in defending against the rebels the supremacy
of the crown There are in the present cabinet
men who did the same, and who were not only
oyaliss, but tories, at the time of the insur-
recon. AS to loyalty, there is no essential differ
ence between the parties. But there is this differ
ence-that the one consists of men of liberal views,
whilst the other is composed of men of selfish pur-
pose and trothy pretensons. The great excite
ment of which we hear much, is, after all, but
mere party squabble; and the lines of demarcation
between the two parties are singularly coincident
with those which separated them at the last gene
raj election,

in Africa, until he has large family of healthy
children, the Africans set great value upon their
progeny who are sound in mind and body; but, as
in analogous cases in some more civilized cOmmu-
mites, they do not care to recognise or support
those who are no credit to their parents.
The husband will, therefore, embrace the first
fore purchased according TO the custom of the
county. The deaf the dumb, the blind-even
those afflicted with hernias, fstulas, and other dis
eases which their doctors cannot cure-the insane
and the feeble mnded-instead Of being sent, as
with us, to charitable institutions, are sold into sa
very; and being the least valuable of slaves these,
more generally, find their way to the slave factories
of the coast, where they may be received and sent
out of the country. Just so, II is said, the same
miserable and decrepid creatures are shipped from
the poor houses Of England, and landed penniless
and destitute upon our shores. 1t Is thus extremes
meet, and the most civilized and benighted OF the
old world, resort to the same expedlent OF freeing
their country of those who cannot support them
selves-Only the African has pracsed for centuries
what the more enlightened nation has just begun
to learn; and the African leaves them In charge OF
a master, whose interest 1t is 10 take care OF them;
and in the other case they left to starve, with
out protector unless rescued by the chance hui
mainly of the stranger. In addition to the above
mentioned classes of slaves are those who are
war, orkidnapped during the night, who may or may
not have been originally free; and others volun-
tarily reduce themselves to slavery, to find the
means of gratifying their passions Thus, the
VIII sell HIISeU, HIS WIVES, CIlluTen, DTO-
theirs, and all over whom he has control, to find
the means of gratifying his Unsuitable appetite.
Such are the institutions and customs of Africa,
by which men become slaves. ! do not learn that
any, of them have been introduced, in consequence
of the foreign demand for slaves. On the other
hand they appear to have been of Indigenous
growth and not of foreign planting: How far an
impetus may have been given to the domestic traffic
by the transportation of slaves abroad, is ques-
ton upon which opinions may be divlded but there
can be no difference of opinion, as to the degrade
ton and guilt of those white dealers, who, out
raging the sentiment of the whole civilized world,
the African tribes and have added to the lot of the
slave the atrocities of the middle passage.

ed, to resume the subject in my next. J.

Presumng you would like to know how our
company have get along thus far, and what pros
poets we have ahead, will devote few minutes
in giving you brief detail of the state of things as
they exist at present.
You will remember we left New York and came
pia Pittsburgh down the Ohio; had "a very quick
passage to this place, and are now making all ne
cessary preparations for our march across the vast
prairies between this and Santa Fe. EkThe town of
Fort Smith is situated immediately upon the right
bank OF the Arkansas and contains population of
about one thousand inhabitants. There are seve-
raj good stores here, which are constantly thronged
with emigrants fitting out for the expedition; and
the merchants are in fine spirits, thinking, per-
haps that they will derive more benefits from the
| expedition than those who go further. There are
at least thousand here now, ready to depart, and
more constantly coming.
1t is supposed that we shall move on as soon as
the escort is ready winch will be in the course of
| three or four days.
The escort is composed of fifty infantry and
forty dragons, all under the command of Captain
Marcy, who, 1t Is SAID, is well qualified to conduct
it, lie has been long in the West, and is a good
woodsman We have had the pleasure of an in

York friends are readers of the Herald, they will
see how we progress, if they should not get our
letters.

MINERAL WEALTH OF TExAs-The Caddo Ga
-efte OF the "a inst, tells story about the gold
region OF this State, that coToboIates and settles
entirely the views OF our friends of the Yryeproph
upon this subject. The Gazette says that there is
now hving IN the neghborhood Of Mansfield, an
Old man, who AYERS most solemnly that gold exists
IN as much abundance in some of the mountain
valleys of Northern Texas as it is represented to
90 IN the placers of California. The individual
alluded to is an old hunter, and has often trapped
the beaver ct the Rocky Mountains and batied
with the wild tribes of the western prairies The
discovery was made by him whilo prisoner among
a wandering band of the red men but, owing to
his situation, he unable to avail himself of his
good fortune at the time, and has since been pre-
vented from returning, by so many circumstances
that until the late California excitement, he had, i'm
his extreme old age, almost ceased to think of his
golden adventure, and remembered it of late but
an impossible dream He is a man of undoubted
veracy, and his story gains implicit credence
among those who are acquainted with his charac-
making preparations TO accompany him to the
valley OF gold, and they are sanguine of success
while ne has grown quite youthful again in the
glow OF his golden hopes.
The editor of the Texas Statesman has been in
formed that a silver mine has recently been found
IN t'rayson county, extending into Colin county
lie says there was no doubt left in the minds of
persons competent to Judge, that it will prove one
nent OF America The ORE by simple fusion, Yields
forty per cent OF the pure metal" We think there
IS some error in this statement. The geological
formations IN that section, so far as we are ac-
qualnted, belong chiefly to the recent secondary
strata, and we consider it very doubtful whether
any valuable deposits of silver ore can be found in
them, The mineral that is styled silver ore, will
probably, when assayed, be found to consist chiefly
of lead ore An extensive mine of lead ore was
discovered in that section about four years since.
and the mine lately found may be but continue,
ton of the lead mine previously discovered There
are doubtless several valuable lead mines ex,cndn0
from Red River, through Grayson, Colin. Lime,
stone, r. obcrtson, Milan, and Travis counties. to-
of copper ore are also found above them. towards
the sources Of the Brazos. This mineral region
may, at no distant period, be found as productive
in lead and copper, as the famous mines of ;alcna
and Lake SuPcrior.-Lionstom (Itras) Telegraph,
