him and the last remnant Of the Slavery
Propaganda will be complete. We await
with interest, but no longer with fear, the
developments Of the ensuing month. The
sky brightens! Rejoice, friends Of Free
dom and press onward"
The editor Of the National Era says that
we regard slavery as the normal condition Of
man or society. He is mistaken. We as
sert that the actual and past condition Of
man, since the fall Of Adam, has been and
is morally unequal; some better and some
worse, some wise and some foolish That
the inevitable result Of this is, and has been,
that the morally inferior are socially and po-
litically inferior.
II is of little consequence in forming sys-
TENS Of society and government, to specu-
late on what man may become or what he
ought to be. His position must be deter
mined by what he is now.
Appeals have been made to wean the old Do
minion from her moorings.-Uaion.
We supposed that the old Dominion was
old enough to be weaned-though we have
no doubt that there are some who think eth
erwiss, and believe that if they were to die
she would be left in helpless orphanage.
We have never heard before of weaving
from mornings, although perhaps if child
is moored to the apron string Of its mamma,
it might be weaned from its mornings. But
we don't think that Old Virginia is that
child.

Texas and New Mexico.

The dispute between Texas and New
Mexico has assumed an entirely new aspect,
if the news from Texas, received yesterday,
is to be relied on. 1t is stated that Major
Neighbors, the Texan Commissioner, had
returned from New Mexico, declaring that
he had been unable to organize the county
Of Santa Fe, by reason (as he says} Of the
interference of the United States military
there, and that Col. Mnnroe, in pursuance
offresher orders from Washington, has as
sued call for a CONVENTION Of the People
of New Merico, to meet AT SANTA FE in
Nay (now past) and FORM A STATE Con-
sTITUTIoN!
This news seems to us scarcely credible
in view Of the Presidents Message Of Mon
day last, in which after informing the House
that he had taken no steps to interpose be-
tween the conflicting claims of Texas and
New Mexico, he aludes to the mission Of
Major Neighbors, and concludes by saying
that there is no reason for seriously appre-
bending that Texas will practically interfere
with the possession Of the United States.
The idea that New Mexico should sue
cessfully practice the same "dodge" as Cali
fornia is too preposterous to be seriously con-
sidered-that she may attempt it IS by no
means impossible, moved and seduced there
to by the example Of her younger sister, and
the instgation of "certain person or persons
unknown"
The dragons teeth sown by Cadmus did
not more swiftly spring up in armed man,
than will the fruits of the doctrine Of squatter
sovereignty.
1t is a bad rule that will work only in one
instance-and in legislation you cannot, II
you would, blot precedent from the record
-or refuse to sanction similar proceedings
under precisely similar circumstances.
The New York Tribune is in ecstacies at
the glad tidngs-and chuckles thus over the
supposed adhesion Of the Administration 10
the free soil policy:
"This is altogether the most important and
gratifying news we have received for a long
time, True, though we.long, impatiently,
and for long time confidently, expected
lust such advices, we cannot yet reconcile
them with the drift of Gen. Taylor's new
Special Message above quoted from-but
we are very ready to waive that. If the
Administration is at last fairly, fully, openly
committed to the independence OF New
Mexico, and the maintenance Of her terrific
,ial integrity, we are with it heart and soul.
Much precious time has been lost, but by
frankness, energy and determination all
may be regained There will of course be
new call on the President for information,
and we look for an answer very different in
tone and bearing from that of Monday.
When it comes, look out for hurricanes in
Congress! All we have yet had are no
thing to them. II what Col. Munroe is re-
ported to have done is avowed and justified
blythe President, the "diyorce" between

The Senate in olden Ti,nes.

The following description Of the United States
Senate, at its first session i'm the State House,
Philadelphia, taken from the American Daily Ad-
vertiser, contrasts in strong colors with the same
body of the present day:
"The United States Senate convened in the
room, upstairs, looking into the State House
Garden II has been ever since, used byo Judges
Washington and Peters, as the District Court.
= In very plain chaiS, without canopy, and
small mahogany table before him, festooned
at the sides and front with green silk, Mr.
Adams, the Vice President, presided as President
of the Senate, facing the north. The Portrait in
Peale's Museum, is, in the opinion of the writer,
perfect fac snlile Of the elder Adams, in face,
person, and apparel, they appeared to him,
above the little table, placed before that venerable
gentleman Among the thirty Senator's of that day,
there observed constantly, during the debate,
the most delightful silence, the most beautiful
der, gravity, and personal dignity of manner
They all appeared every morning full powdered,
and dressed as age fancy might suggest in the
richest material The very atmosphere Of the
place seemed to inspire wisdom, mildness, and
condescension. Should any of them so far forget
for a moment, as to be the cause of protracted
whisper, while another was addressing the Vice
President, three gentle taps with his silver pencil
case upon the table, by Mr.. Adams, Immediately
restored every thing to repose, and the most re-
spectful attention, presenting in their courtesy
most striking contrast to the independent loquaci-
ty of the representatives below stairs; some few
of whom persisted in wearing, while in their seats,
and during the debate, their ample cooked hats,
placed fore and aft, upon their heads, with
here and there leg thrown the little desks
before them, and facing Mr.. Jupiter Dayton, as he
was sometimes called by writers in the Aurora of
Benjamin Franklin Bache'
