on resolutions has heretofore been accidentally
omitted from the published proceedings Of the
Convention We give il below, remarking, by
way Of explanation, that II refers TO the address
as originally reported by The committee, and that
il was afterwards so amended as to enable a por-
ton of the minority Of the committee TO vote for
it. The principle amendment consisted in the
addition of the following explanation of the
views Of q portion OF tFc.members of the conven-
ton to the concluding paragraph Of the address:
sit is proper to state 10 you, that while we are
unanimous in approving the resolutions accompa-
nying the address, the Delegates to this Conven-
ton are not entirely unanimous in approving all
the arguments contained init; particularly such
relate TO the Compromise Bill pending in the Uni

Ujhazy and his companions have, as-we learn,
fixed on tract Of land in Iowa, on Grand River,
some hundred and forty miles southwest of Bur-
lington, and there they propose to establish them
after the capital city of their native country. Gov.
u. and several Of his associates have recently
been in ST. Louis to procure farming implements,
with which TO commence operations. While there
large public meeting was held, at which a COM
mittee Of two from each ward of the city was APP
pointed to obtain contributions to aid them in
founding their colony. Ii is designed that this
colony shall serve place Of refuge for such of
their countrymen as may resort to it. A large

during the present season, and probably many
will wish to settle at Buda. The citizens of 81.

LATE FROM New MExIco.--We received, late
last evening, the important Intelligence (via
TeXas) that Neighbors has returned from
New Mexico with very fat flea in his right
ear, bringing the useful intelligence that he has
been unable TO organise the county Of Santa Fe,
by reason Gas he says) of the interference Of the
United States Military there, and that Col. Mum
roe, in pursuance ofresher ordersJr from Washington,
has issued a call for a CONVENTION ofthe people of
.Nttc .Merico TO meet AT SANTA FE in Man (now
past and FORM A STATE CONSTITUTION And
there is no doubt of the ready obedience of the
New Mexicans to this call.
This is altogether the most important and graft

though we long, impatiently, and for time CON
idently expected just such advces, we cannot vet
reconcile them with the drift Of Gen. Taylor 8

Independence of New Mexico and the nluinte-
nance of her territorial integrity, we are with it
heart and soul. Much precious time has been
lost, but by franlsness energy and determination
all may be regained. There will of course be a
new call on the President for information, and we
look for an answer very different in tone and bear

BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE

BRITISH QUARTERLY REVIEWS.
Premiums to New Subscribers.

OWING to the late revolutions and counter-revo-
" lntions among the nations OF Europe, which have
allowed each other in quick succession, and OF which
the ends not yet," the leading periodicals Of Great
Britain have become invested with degree of inter
est hitherto unknown. They occupy middle
ground between the hasty, dsjointed and necessarily
imperfect records Of the newspapers, aud the elabo-
rate and ponderous cases to be furnished by the his
torian at a future day. The American Publishers,
therefore, deem proper to call renewed attention to
these Periodicals, and the very low price at which
they are offered 10 subscribers. The following is

Missouri Slave Case-- ~ 300 Damages

AT the term Of the u. S. District Court held in
this city last week, Judge Dyer presiding, the
case of Ruel Daggs, plaintiff, rs. Elihu Frazier
and others, defendants, came for trial. The
suit was brought as an action for trespass III the
case, for harborng and concealing the plantif' 5
slaves, opposing their arrest, and rescuing them
after arrest, M
The circumstances of this case are familiar to
most of our readers. Nine slaves made their es-
cape from MIR. Daggs, in Clark County, Missouri,
in 1913, four Of whom were subsequently recap
tured. The other five never were recovered
These slaves Were secreted and assisted to escape
by sundry citizens of Salem, in Henry county, of
this State, and Mr.. Daggs brought a suit against
some of those most actively engaged in the affair
for the value Of the negroes.
The case was argued at length, and with much
ability, by Mr.. Horer, (who was employed but a
lift, and Mr.. Hall and MIR. Morton for defend
ants Much of the evidence taken on the part of
the plaintiff by attorneys previously employed
was ruled out by the Court on account of inform
atty, &C.; but enough was ELECTED on the trial to
secure him damages. The iury--one OF the most
intelligent set of men probably ever empanneled
in Iowa--retired for but brief space of time and
on returning brought in verdict Of $4,000 for
the plaintiff, with costs of suit. The cost, we
learn, will probably not fall much short of Al 900
more.
II has been said by Southern Senators and
Representatives on the floor of Congress-, even at
the present session, that no matter how clear the
proof, verdict in favor of a slave owner for
slaves stolen from him could not be obtained in
any free State in the Union. We have ever thought
this charge unjust, and now point to the verdict
in the case above alluded to to show that far as
Iowa is concerned il is utterly unfounded. What
ever the sentiment of our people may be in rea-
ton to slavery in the abstract, there DISPOSE
ton to interfere with the rights of the citizens OF
other States, as acquired under the Constitution
The act Of Congress authorizing the reclamation
of slaves escaping from service is recognized
as binding, and public opinion will not sanction
any attempt to evade its provisions. ~ a
A motion for new trial was overruled by the
Court. Notice Of bill Of exceptions was then
given by the attorneys for the defendants, with
the view of taking the case up to the Supreme
Court of the United States.
