Slavery in California

The current opinion, propagated just now SO
lndustrlousy for party ends, that it is impossi-
BILE for slavery to exist in California or New
Mexico, even if left unprohiblted by special en-
acthents, is questionable on many grounds
The presence of Northern free. labor popula-
ton in California may do much 10 check the
growth OF system at war with the thrift and in
dustry they carry with them but that the nature
OF the work to be done in California, or the eli
mate or social condition is such as to preclude
the profitable employment of slaves, is, TO saw
the least proposition which Southern men do
not believe. Extensive arrangements are on
loot IN one place, for planting slave colony in
California, pending the question Of her sdmis-
sion with an anti slavery constitution. The Jack
son Mlssissipplan of the 18th ult. quoted by the
Evening fost contains a paragraph which is
worthy OF notice in this connection - Epqn
Let 1t be understood and pondered upon,
that hive thousand slaves will be sent to CaIIfor-
MIA before the expiration Of this year, if the obi
Gus measure now before Congress, to admit Cal
ltortiia with territory enough for dozen States
can De, as It ought to be repudiated by Con-
grcss We look upon the present moment with
feelings OF intense interest. Here is our only
and last hope OF being partiripators in the gold
en- harvests OF California, for which Southern
blood has been spilled SO pro!usely, and shall we
lose 1t? The value of our slaves at home would
Increase one hundred per cent. There is not a
planter in Mississippi who has single negro,
that will not feel the effects of this slave migra-
ton by an addition of at least four hundred dol
lars to the value OF that slave. A slave in CAL
llorna is now worth five thousand dollars =.
Such is the deep pecuniary interest that may
now be sacrificed by the admission Of California.
Take that away from the South, and besides
placing US at the mercy of the North by the IN
crease OF free soil Safes, nearly all that we have
won from Mexico, save national honor, is forev-
er lost 10 uso

THE CENSUS.

The Census Bill now pending in Congress,
like every thing else this Session, cannot be per.
mtted to pass without reference to the question
of Slavery. Southern members are violently or,
posing 1t on the shallow pretence that the Con
sttution Ouly authorizes Congress to provide for
taking an enumeration of persons, and that the
taking of statistics 10 show the productive re-.
sources of the country, as provided in tAe pres
ent bill, and also in the last census law, is IN
constitutional And what is the motive of this
contemplate mahoeuvrc of the learned States
men of the South? Why, simply to shut out
the North from true knowledge of the condi-
ton to which slavery has reduced their blighted
country, and thus prevent all further comparisons
between the results of free and slave labor,
which have always so troubled them to meet
Truly, the South, like the Heaven forsaken
SAUL must be sore pressed, when it is Compel
led TO resort to such pitifdl means to sustain
their doomed and lettering institution.

Another Letter from John Went

Long John as he is called in Congress has
written another of his racy letters from Wash
ington making still further Developments Of
the springs of political action now in operation
at the capitol.
Light, or rather darkness, now dlscloses its.
elf The plans of the enemy, so long myistifi.

There never has been time since this Con.
grcss met that the proposed friends of free labor
could not have admitted California had thew
been so disposed. Bnt all the plofessed friends
of free labor are not its real friends. Some are
for California only because they dare not 90 a.
gainst it, and, whilst making great noise about
their love for California, they go for keeping
open the debate until the enemies of free labor
can make some bargain whereby New Mexico
is to be enslaved.
Father Richie has announced the fact that
the slave dealers already count on tweuty.four
Northern men as safe, and probably, twenty
eight. What the exuctiuns of the slave dealers
are from their Northern allies have began to
leak out 1t is to let some Northern man who
owns slaves in the South and therefore il 70.

A Wilmot Proviso Meeting in a
Slave State.

When voice like the following comes up to
US from the mid South, thanking us for what we
have done and begging us to persevere in our
efforts to stay the dark stream of wo, that threat
ems to overspread all the fair free valies Of our
South western territories, is it not enough 10
bring the blush of shame to the cheek OF every
Northern freeman, to witness the conduct OF ma
ny of our leading men in Congress, who are Ell
Their mnteIy standing aside to let the stream of
slavery flow On, or are actually aiding its desola'
ting progress? And should it not arouse every
true Free soiIer to renewed exertions to further
the good cause he has espoused?
"A large and respectable meeting, composed
in pnrt of a oonsIderab BILE number of the Society
of Friends, was held in Orange Co., North Car
DINA, (thc home of Senator Mangum and part
of the District OF Mr.. Venube) Feb. 25th. A
committee of seven, appointed to draw up reso.
lutons. reported the following which were adop-
ted and ordered tn be published in the N. Y.
Tribune and National Era.
/. Resolved, That we will hail with Joy the
admission of California as State of this Union,
with Constitution forever prohibiting Slavery
and the slave traffic within It's borders.
9. Resolved, That we do condemn the course
pursued by Mr.. Clngman and other of our Rep
resentaives in Congress, in resisting the pas
sage of the WiImot Proviso and other kindred
measures.
g. Resolved, That we do extend to our breth.
rem of the Northern States, who have instructed
their Senators t. resist the introduction of slave
ry into the new Territories, our warmest sympa-
thies, and do earnestly hope they will peseyele
and succeed in their good intentions.
4. Resolved, That we do condemn the course
of the late Secretary of State, James Buchanan,
in concedng to Texas a great part of New Mex.
leo, fer the purpose Of establishing in it Domes-
tic Slavery.
5. Resolved, That we will frown down every
attempt to dissolve this glorious Confederacy,
and will seek to maintain the Union forever in
its pristine purity.
Several men addressed the meeting in support
of the resolutions.

A Passage between a Taylor and
an Old Line Press.

A late Burlington Sentinel, in an article
deprecating the term of Hunker as now applied
to the Old Line Democracy, after soTe Premi.
nary philosophizing upon nick names, thus
quantity remarks.
awe are led into these reflections, not by the
perpetual repetition of the term by free-socrs,
but from observing its employment in several re
cent cases by the partsans of the Adminlstra-
ton A leading Taylor paper in this State
speaks, in deprecatory g. depreciating tone, of
the "hunkerlsm" of the Sentinel meaning by
the word las we Judge from the context) "pro-
slavery" or at least, " anti provisolsm." Really,
we did not expect to be lwittcd of our bunker"
principles by Taylor man, and have right
10 excaim " ct tu Brute :" with all the grief and
establishment of the original Cesar.
We are not pr epared for thunder out of that
quarter of the sky. AS Wilkes said Of the Earl
of Sandwich, Quoting from popular play of the
time +" That Jenny Twitcher should peach
US, we own it surprised u.s." We had seen the
administration of Gen. Taylor substantially CHI
dorsing the doctrines of the famous Nicholson
letter-the "tnfamous Nicholson letter." we
think the Taylor folkH call it-and had lived to
see all the great guns of the party pointing with
IncndClnR HluZLIeS dL - tnH pFOVlso. DeslueS,
we had Just been reading the following faithful
confession in the State Register, new whg pa,
per published at Albany.
The attempt to make the whig party an An
ti-Savery party is nut only impractlble but if
possible, would be, according to Washington
and his present worthy successor, iraught with
the worst consequences to our country. In its
operation upon the party, the movement thus far
has been most pernicious. Beyond all question
it lost us the election of 1914, and well nigh
wrecked Us in l64S,"
II conclusion, whatever We may have to say
to free-solers, we scnrn to defend our bunker
ism against party which il led and represented
: by Taylor, Clay and Webstcr-a party which,
according to its own definition of this beautiful
epithet, has hunkers' for its President, " Em =
bodnient," and ",Expounder "-ISentind
We think the complaints above set forth by no
means unreasonable. This rebuking the Old
Liners for their Hunkerism by the Taylor party
at this juncture, it strikes u.s. is too striking an
exempiifcation of a common adage to escape the
observation OF the dulIest.

BE.J11HJ AND THE OLD LINE
DEMOCRACY.

We have noted, with much interest, the dis,
position which, for some time past, has been
manifested by the leading presses of the Old
Line Democracy towards the distinguished Sem
ator from Missouri.
The approved Washington Correspondent of
the Boston Post, which is generally found to be
pretty true index of what is connecting among
the leaders of its party at the Capitol, insidu-
ously assails Mr. Benton, in his present proud
position, in the shape of regrets that he should
be found impeding legislation, and standing in
the way of an amicable adjustment Of the diff
ficuties existing between the North and the
South. The correspondents of various other
leading journals of the same stamp in the
different free States as if acting in concert, and
In accordance with some secret plan of opera
tons recently established at Washington, are
evidently at work with the same object in view
that of detracting from his standing with the
people, and turning the current which his re-
cent efforts in the cause of human freedom have
caused to set so strongly in his favor.
Such is the drift of what the leading presses
of the old national democratic party are pub
fishing with appreciation, while the secondary
journals are either mute, or humble copysts of
the former. Are not these indications of pc
cuiiar significance, at this crisis !? And what do
they portendY Do they not develope plan of
operations, the first article of which is to put
down the free democracy, and thrust aside, for
Southern partisans or Northern doughfaces, ev-
cry man who refuses to give in his adhesion to
the scheme, however right, however tenable,
however exalted his position3 So they read to
US; but will this notable plan of the fraternsing
leaders of the North and South so easily succeed?
Are the tolls of the slave power, as artfully as
they may be kept concealed for time, to be
sprung on Northern freeman in this manner?
Can the free democracy of the country, after
having enlisted under the banner offreedom, be
made to fght under the black flag of slavery
propagandists and especially can the Free De-
Rlocracy Of our own liberty inspiring Green
