ANOTHER VIEW OF IT. Elsewhere we have
praised the New Mexlcans for their recent prompt
action in prohibiting Slavery in their dominions.L
Yet upon second thoughts we are inclined to believe
that they will suffer small blame and rdicue from
taln class of persons, with Mr. Webster at their
head, who believe IN the famous doctrine lately pro-
mulgated that Slavery was already and from the he
ginning prohibited in New Mexico by an irrepeaable
law of nature. Mr.. Webster told the country and
the rest of mankind down in Kennebec county that
it the most absurd thing in the world. the idea
that Slavery would exist in New Mexico--that there
as much chance for it on Mars Hill or the White
Mountains. He seemed to think that any fears on
that account would be about foolish as panic on
the part Of New Hampshire farmers relative to an
lrruptlon OF lions, tigers, crocodes and anacondas
from the tops of the mountains and any prohibition
by Wmot Proviso or other legislation, would be as
stupid preparations by the said farmers. to kill
and capture all such 'syarmints'' by enactine boun-
ty laws, &c. He had read Major Gaines book
he had, and he had seen letter from cavalry off,
cer-he had in which it was declared that Sla very
could not live there. But these views, alas | did
not penetrate to Santa Fe and save the New Mexi-
cans from great folly. They did not reap. or if
they did read. they did not believe, Major Gaines
and the cavalry officer and Mr.. Webster. They
stupidity fancied that they knew something about The
soil and climate of the land where they lived, and
they did not feel quite so about the law of Ma
ture, as Mr.. Webster did. So when Major Neigh
bors appeared on the borders, with Slavery in his
pack, under the name of Texan Constitution and
Law, they, foolish, frightened creatures fell INTO
panic forgot that the law of Nature was defend
ing them, and were frightened at the subordinate
law of Texas They packed Major Neighbors offto
Texas again, and forthwith, without asking Con-
gress, and in the least degree concerning themselves
as to whether they were or were not incurrpp Mr.
Websters ridicule,-they formed a Constitution
and prohibited Slavery. Alas and alack-a-day -
What pity it is for the reputation ofthe New Mex
lean people that they were not enlightened by Mr.
Webster's Kennebec letter. Then they would have
been spared such an exhibition of folly-LoceH

SENATOR BELLS SPEECH. The correspon-
dent of the New York Express gives the following
sketch up to Friday of Mr. Bell'ss speech which last
ed three days, being finished on Saturday:
Mr. Bell, of Tennessee, has continued through to-
day without finishing speech, which in every point
of view must be considered of the most extraor-
binary Of the present Congress. Extraordinary for
its power, boldness and comprehensiveness, and if
mistake not it will prove its effect upon legs-
lation and the country. AS | understand, he lays
down the following propositions
That-the cause Of our present difficulties origi-
nate in African Slavery.
That-the present position of affairs in Congress
originate in the struggle for party success and in the
jealousies and rivaries of personal ambition.
That-the recommendations of the President are
wise, patriotic, and in his view present the only
mode in whichthe present distractions can be healed
He will vote for the committees plan rather than
have no settlement; but thinks they would produce
confusion worse COMPOUNDED, both North and South,
inasmuch as New Mexico must so soon again be-
come bone of contention. He thought New Mexi-
co should be Immediately admitted State; ar
engagements being made with Texas at the same
time, with reference to boundaries.
In the meantime, he thought it was the bounden
duty, as he understood it was the intention of the
President, TO maintain the statu quo between New
Mexico and Texas until these questions were deci-
ded. Mr.. Underwood here made brief statement
coinciding with him, and showing that the House of
Representatives had so decided at the last session.
He maintained the competency of New Mexico to
undertake State Government, and severely censur-
ed Mr. Clay for saying that he would under cir
cumstances vote for her admission. We do not
understand Mr.. Clay to have so said-Ed. Express
lie thought the difference between territorial and
State Government was too slight TO be made the
ground of any serious objection, and he could not
understand how such an objection could be made to
weigh against the peace and continuance Of the IN
ion. He thought such a declaration Of opposition TO
New Mexico very extraordinary. He had never
known an administration subjected to much viiu-
peraton, both from the opposition, and those who
protested TO belong to its own party, since he knew
anything Of political lifeand he knew of none more
deserving of admiration. He protested against such
injustice.
Mr. Bells manner was extremely concatory and
courteous to all sides Of the chamber. Though fire.
quently interrupted by Mr.. Clay, and nearly dozen
times by Mr.. FOote and others, he neither lost the
thread Of his argument nor his temper. 9f i1D
CHOLERA AT CIEcIsNATI. The report Of the
City Clerk for the past week up Saturday afternoon
shows that the total number Of deaths were 1877, of
which 118 we're from Cholera The reports were not
as full as they should be-. The Board Of Health on
Sunday reports SO deaths, Of which 65 were from
Cholera.

The result is, that young men thus employed away

We need not say that such results must carry untold
anguish and agony to the hearts of parents And if
they are to be arrested both parents and guardians have
need to awake to a of their responsibility The
anxiety and watchuness of parents must follow both

should know With whom they associate, how they
spend their sabbahs, what habits they FORM in what
pleasures they indulge, and how their characters are
developing IN the new situations they occupy No pa

these points. Character is worth than gold In
tegty is more precious than skill Worldly success is
no compensation for the loss of the blessings which
come in right observance of the Sabbath.

he employs such principles and habits as would prove

feel that philanthropy, humanity and religion unite in

WAsH1NGroN, July 4th, 1850. Hon. A. H.
Stephens, of Georgia, thinks there is great danger of
a fight between Texas and New Mexico, and aflirms
as his solemn belief that if it take place, and the
arms of the United States interpose to defend the
possession of the disputed territory, as and for
four years past uninterruptedly maintained by the
federal Government, from invasion by Texas twill

the central Government on one side, and the slave
states on the other
This is to 4 certain, but trust to a very limited
extent true. Gen. Rusk said IN the Senate, on Tues
day last that collision was about to take place.
Senator Houston yesterday, in the same place, said
that Texas would assuredly attempt to enforce her

pertinacity of the Texans in asserting their preten-
sions over New Mexico is cupidty. During the
