Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1849-06-15

culpable neglect Of Congress, without gov
eminent, for law and protection, has, by the
breath Of faction, been famed into a hdme'
which for a time threatened the entire conua-
grafton of the whole fabric of State; and no
man can even yet foretell the event oil This
incendiary attempt.
But the neglect on the part of Congress 10
proyide us a territorial or other form OF civil
government, is not the only neglect Of which
we have reason to complain. No pains have
been spared on the part of the Executive TO
urpe upon the attention of Congress the SOL
emn obligations under which they lay TO leg
islale for the interests of the newly-acqnired
territories, but hitherto without any other re-
suit than the creation of discord between the
two great divisions Of the Union. Not even
an g'iempt has been made to connect US with
the United States by the establishment Of a
mail route or other medium Of communica-
ton. The only mails which have been re-
ceived in this territory since its first occupa-
ton have been through the Quartermaster's
Department Of the army, and only at long in
~tervals. During the past winter we have
looked long and eagerly for information from
the seat of government, and when after a
lapse of five months a nail was received,
bringing us the Presidents message, a month
after the adjournment o! the Congress TO
which it had been delivered, it brought with
it the structures and remarks of half the pres
ses OF Europe upon that very message, which
should have reached us at farlhest in three or
four weeks after its delivery. Such are the
Z" equal rights wih The people IF Louisiana and
Florida" which Congress, by solemn treaty,
the " surreme law of the land" was bound
to confer upon us more than a year ago.
FROM THE SAME PAPER OF SAME DATE.
The debate in the Senate of the United
States on the presentation by Senator BEN
TON Of the petition of the people Of New
Mexico in convention assembled, is laid be-
fore our readers, and, as will be perceived,
an excited debate ii is.
We poor people in New Mexico, occupied
in simply attending to cur own business, Ia
king steps to procure for ourselves such a re-
publican government as will suit us, have
been assailed most violently. Our petition
has been declared by Senator Calhoun inso-
isnt. Senator RuSk says that he doubts not
that the petitioners would very much like tc
ill the Offices in the State Government to be
carved out of the territory Of the State Of Tex
as-territoiy Conquered by the blood and
treasure Of the people Of TrXas!
Senators Westcott and Fnute say there i,
nothing to show that this is a petition Of III,
people of New Mexico, and insinua,e tina, tn,
petitioners are nothing more than a few un
authorized people of the village of Santa Re
Senator somebody else says that these peti
TONERS are tools of aboliiionIsts Of the Unite,
States, who concocied the whole bushes
there and forwarded it here, whence it wa
= sent to Conuress-that the dissolution Of tn
Union is at hand, &c.
! Senator somebody else is mistaken. In
/ deed this petition was not connected in an,
of the States of the United States, but til
5 Convention made it out Of its own head.
