ProSAGE IN New Mexico. AS this
system is much talked about, and little
understood, we copy the following ac-
count Of it from the Savannah Repu biz
can:
Peonage is species Of slavery re-
sulting from debt ,and is based upon con-
tract. 1t mad its origin in the civil war,
and existed FIRST in Rome, then in Spain
and was finally introduced into Mexico
while it was Spanish province. Hence
We have it at this day in New Mexico.
The poems of that territory are general
~ indians who have become indebted TO
the whites, and are unable to pay; tho
it is not confined entirely to them. 1t is
SAID that any person, white, black, or
copper colored, may be made peon, if
he places himself In the condition Of an
insolvent debtor. Hence, if an individ-
ual should create a debt. then peonage
exists, if ne Is unable to discharge it !;
for this gives the credator the right to
take him before the Alcade, who gives
INN power over the peon until the debt
Is paid. The master then furnishes the
debtor or peon with all his supplies, for
which he charges his own prices, and
credits HIM with his services. but rener-
ally takes care to strike a balance a.
gainst him. so that he is unable to dis
charge the debt. The consequence is
that the peon becomes a slave for life !:
and not only slave for life, bu, the debt
dcscends to his posterity, and the chill
dren are furnished with supplies by the
master in the same way as were the pa
rents. Thus the son, when he comes to
maturity, finds himself indebted to the
master to such an extent that he can
never free himself: consequently he and
his deeendents ed infniium are made
slaves irrevoeably "-7
Different systems Of this species OF
servitude ohtainin different calities.-
Every city, every town, every municip-
atty, has ri ght to make regulations
respecting their poems or servants. And
perhaps there may bc half dozen diff
icrcnt systems now existing in NewMcx-
leo, in different localities.

surveys and make donations 10 settlers oil
public lands; the amendment pending
was to confne donations of lands TO free
whites.
Mr.. Giddings earnestly opposed it,
and spoke Of The intelligence and pairi-
otism Of many blacks
Mr.. Fitch said, whether it was adop-
ted or not, il would make no difference,
as the people OF Oregon have excluded
because they amalgamate with, and lead
the Indians into mischief.
Mr.. Sackett contended that the Legis-
lature of that Territory has no power to
exclude any colored people, and if Con-
gress sees fit to make grant of land 10
whites, the blacks have right to a grant
fo- their own benefit.
Mr.. Conrad thought that Mr.. Giddings
was in some degree concerned with the
negro race. He was Of opinion that il.
would benefit both races to difTuse over
the country on the Pacific.
Mr.. McMeeken replied to Giddings,
and said, it was true that Virginia blood
was noble character whether in the veins
of white or black. Laughter. If he
(Giddings) goes TO Virginia. he will be
invited TO associate with that race Of
which he is the peculiar friend.
Several others made remarks, when
the amendment 10 insert free whites was
agreed lo-67 to 81. The Hosse then
