by the U. S. Courts. But all this IS now changed
by the formation of free soil State Constitution in
New Mexico, under the promptings Of the civil and
military authorities of this blessed reign Of Tsylosm.
The question is not now an open one. The South
cannot now exercise her equal rights in that territory
tainted as it is by free SOIL under this new incorpo-

Southern rights, is IN SOUTHERN UNION.
