or nine days; in fifteen days thereafter an
election for members of the Legislature was
to lake place, and it was expected that sena-
tors anda Representative would be elected
in time to present themselves at Washington,
during the present session of Congress, ard
to ask admission for the new State inte the
Union
Ceran ST. Vrain Otero, and Henry Comet
iy, are spoken of for Governor. Capt. A. w.
Reynolds ofthe U S. A., and Major Weight
man, late paymaster, are most prominent for
the Senate of the United States; Hugh n
Smith, now at Washington, for Representa-
tive.
Nothing is said Of the features of the Con
stiIetion, in relation to slavery No one, we
apprehend, will be so simple as to think of
admitting such a State, with so limited "a pop
ulation with the Union.
Slavery is prohibited by the constitution of
New Mexico. The constitution will be on
the way to Washington by the first of July.

Quack Editors.

The Editors eff the Republican have pub
lished certificate Of character from one of
their anonymous correspondents. From the
reputation gained for that PAPER already, by
It's anonymous contributors, we should think
the endorsement of " An Old Democrat y
might at once confer responsibility upon
these enterprising young men. sold Van
derburgh" certainly should also have endors-
ed their responsibility. His remarkable sue
cess in demolishing the Library Committee
has given him such reputation that a Ger
tifcate of character from his hand might well
elevate one of the most contemplate men in
the city to an ordinary standard of decency-
himself for instance. But this thing of pub
fishing such a certificate from an anonymous
writer is worse than the Patent Medicine
men. Even to establish the character of a
quack nostruno they deem bona-fde names
Indispensable whereas to establish charac-
ter for quack editors it only appears necessa-
ry to give anonymous names This shows
that it is much easier to palm the latter upon
a gullible public, than the former But that
is still a question for discussion. We doubt
the fact.
