trainers OF the bill seems To have been to

of the $4,000, 900, but to pour it into the
lap of those who have spcculatcd off of her
necessities.
We will now proceed to notice the eircu.
lar. Mr. H. tells Us that it is hardly prob.
able that New Mexico will Ice admitted as n
State under twenty years, This a strange
decoration to make in view of the fact that
N.Mcxico has already a Constitution "cutand
dried excluding, slavery and which the Sen.
ate voted 10 to u in favor of referring to a
Committee Il may he said tha, she will no,
be received. We have only to look at the
admission of California, to be satisfied that
the whole patronage OF the Government
and the influence of the Executive will be
cxerted to keep out slavery. 1t is idle to
say that the territorial Legislatures cannot
prohibit the introduction of slaves, if they
should see proper to exercise the power.
Gen. Cas-, and large number of others
say they have the authority, and what
! slave. holder will run the risk of venturing
into territory when at best he must en-.
counter an expensive law suit, which if he
gains, it will be only to lose his slave in the
organization of State government. II is
an insult therefore to our common sense, to
tell us that il the climate and soil OF New
Mexico are adapted TO slave labor it will 90

The North will never admit another slave

1t is adding insult to injury for Mr., X. to
attempt To justify himself for his vote, in
the fact that representatives from the other
Southern States also voted for the Bill.
The truth is, he is responsible for those
votes, as are also Houston, Rusk, and
Howard for by their submission the South
