SLAVERY in THE TERRITORIES

There are four schemes now before Con.

pendent of the New York Herald:
!. Douglass bill making one State Of
California 10 be organized immediately. md

2. The petition of the people of New
Mexico for organization into State. with
slavery excluded expressly by law.

the matter TO the Supreme Court.
a. The resolution of the House of Req.
resen'alives, insructing the Territorial
COMMITTEE TO report bill for The orgapi.
cation of Territorial governments excluding
slavery.
Olher engagements have prevented us
from giving much attention TO these yariou,
But from the consideration
we have been able 10 bes,ow upon Them,
we incline 10 the opinion that The one rec.
commended by Mr.. Douglass is the best
That is settlement of the question-so
far as congress is concerned--and aonar.

all the States. Whatever controyersv
might afterwards arise would be among
the people OF the new State.-and whether
they settle the difficulty 10 suit us of the
South or not, we should have TO be content.
IL should however be stipulated tina, the
new State should only be represented in

The greatest difficulty in the way of Mr..
douglass bill seems to be the boundary be.
tween Texas and the new State. Texas
claims all east of the Rio Grande--wbicb
includes Santa Fe and large portion Of

THE MASK THROWN OFF.

Our readers are aware that President Taylor
Is making tour through portion of the
Northern States He dsclaims having any
political object i'm view, and yet we find him
availing himself of the opportunity present
cd by his reception ut Lancaster, Pa. to dc.
clare himself in favor of protecting the coal
and iron interests of that State. We had
hoped that the protective policy had become
an obsolete idea, and that the very favorable
operations of the present tariff would be saai-
cient to satisfy all, that frectrade is The best,
and prevent any recurrence to o measure,
which Is taking from the people to enrich the
manufactures. But from the position the
President takes, there can be no doubt. but
that the subject of protection will be thrust
before the next Congress, and it will greatly
add to the distraction of the public mind al
ready sufficiently disturbed
Read the following extract from the Pres
idcnt's remarks to the coal and iron-mon-
gers of Pennsylvania, and judge for yourselves:
"ln regard to the devel,pcment and
protection of the great interests of Penn
sylvanm, her coal and iron, no one takes
deeper interest in them than myself, or
will more heartily cooperate with the
National Legislature in recommending
and carrying out such measures as will
facilitate the objects referred to. In con-
clusion, sir, thank you, and through YOU
the citizens of Lancaster for the cordial
reception l have met with ON this occa-
sion"

9Th REGIMENT. s. G NJ

Inc 9th Regiment was reviewed on T'hurs
day by Brig Gen. Garvin; the Governor find-
ing himself so pressed by other civil duties that
he was unable to attend. The officers of this
Regiment also done themselves great credit in
the promptnGss and despatch with which the
commands were given and executed, though
they laborcd undergrad inconvenience, for the
Colonel being unable to appear on the field
rom hdisposition, n commanding officer, Capt.
hoiimsworth, was taken from the line, and the
AdJutant performed the duty of both Majors
Inc arms OF the Regiment were inspected and
found to be in fine order, with very few cxcep-
tions. The Eyolutions having been executed
IN good time and orderly despatch, the Rcgi
ment was drawn up in close column, and Col
Towns, Aid-de-Camp to His Excellcncy, deliv-
cred brief address to the Regimesst, IN which
he accorded to the soldiers and officers the
praise they SO richly mcritcd. Gen. Garvin
then made most patriotic address, in which
alluded in most feeling terms to the great crisis,
e&hortng all to be cautious of Northern spies,
and always ready to do duty to cur common
country. The Regiment was dismissed in good
order, and peace and harmony prevailed up to
q late hour
The Saluda Band was there too. and per.
formed their part admirably.

SAVE YOUR INK AND PAPER

We were informed by Mr.. james f. Hagood
that some fifteen or twenty of the Brutuses
came to his office, which he refused to hand
out; and that he made very neat pile of
them in his yard, and applied fire, and watched
the smoke as it rose curling upwards until tho
whole were consumed-that package Of True
Caroinans directed to a private individual,
was consignedby him to tho same fate.
We have also been informed by another
ros'master, that he invariably destroys all
such documents as soon as they arrive.
The writer's of these and similar articles will
see the force of our remark, to save their ink
and paper, when they learn that none of their
productions are read, but are always immedi
ateiy destroyed They need not think that
tho people of our District are SO easilv gulled
as to reject the substance, which they now en-
joy, to grasp at the shadows" which they offer
them through abolitionism.

SYNOPSIS OF THE REPORT OF THE
MILITARY BOARD

We are indebted to the kindness of n friend
Tor brief of the Report of the Military Board
OF Officers which convened ut Due West Cor.
ner IN Abbeville Dist, So. c., on the 18TH inst,
to take into consideration certain interropations
Propounded by the Governor to that Beard,
respecting IT,. defects of the Militia system.
and the propriety Of restoring Brigade En-
campments, The Board was composed of the
field officers Of the Division.
The Committee report that it is impossible
forthem, in the short time allowed; to take all
the important matters before the board into con-
sideration in detail and will therefore present
for the action of the Board such alterations as
are deemed of most pressing, importance in
correcting existing evils:
]. The committee believe that great
caution should be exercised bE the Ex-
ecutive authorities of the State, IN re-
mltting fines imposed by court-martial.
The officers composing court-martial, be-
ing generally honest and intelligent; a
case has never occurred, within our know
ledge, in which such courts were guilty
OF tyranny and oppression. No case
should be heard and determined by his
Excelieney on the Ea-parte showing Of
an interested defendant--a full exempli-
fcation of the proceedings of the court
imposing the fine, under the hand and
seal of the Judge Advocate, should ac-
company every such application.
q. One of the most fruitful sources of
neglect, by the citizen, to perform mill
tary duty, is attributable to the person
who grants, and the facility of obtaining,
certificates of exemption in consequence
of disability. Formerly that duty was
confded to the Surgeon of the Regiment,
but under the 39th section of the act of
ls4l, it appears to be the duty of the
Clerk of the company. A skillful Sur
geon could be induced to accept COM
mission in nearly every Regiment in the
State, who would be competent to pro-
nounce upon the physical disabilities Of
of the soldier. His duties should be de.
fined specifically by Act of the Lepisla-
tufe, and conrts~nartial restrained from
receiving. as excuses for default of duty
certificates from any other than the Sur
geon Of the Regiment who had examined
carefully the disability complained off,
In this connection it might be well for
the Legislature to define with greater
particulafity, who are exempted from
the performance of ordinary militia
duty--what should be fhe extent Of phys
ical disability to exempt An opinion
