The probability is Ioontinues The Uaionl that
this order which has slept in the portfolio OF the
military authority Of Santa Fe, has been recently
brought TO light by renewed order from Washing

course Of time, Utah. with anti Slave Constitutions.
But is il possible that Congress can be prevailed
upon TO recognize New-Mexico as State be
cause, made up Of such population, so scsnty and
so i'll prepared for Independent Government, she
would be burlesque on the system Of Federal
Government Itself. Such is the wise plan 81 our
noble Executive at w ashington!

There 10 a rumor which we cannot trace 10 any
authentic source that the Governor Of Texas had
ordered out corps Of 2 500 men to carry out the
authority Of Texas at Santa Fe. And, under these

We rather guess Congress ~'H do nothing
to defeat or override "this movement In
New-Mexico." We should admire to see ,
the name Of Representative from Free
State who would vote to divest New-Mexico
of herself and give her over, bound hand
and foot, to Texas, in order to subyert her
anti-Slayery Constitution and add her spa
cious area to the dominion of Slavery. 1t
would be one thing to maneuver in favor of
Texas while New-Mexico lay silent and
PROSTATE at her feet and quite another to
consign her to bondage now that she has or
ganized and placed herself in the attitude
Of a State demanding admission as an equal
into the American Union. No, Gentlemen
of the cofie and the auction-blOck the
shadow will not 90 back on that dial!
New-Mexico is State and Free State

1t cannot fail to be noted that all these
Propagandists unqualifedly charge the Pre-
sident with being the instigator, plotter and
engineer Of their discontinue. "This is
but another of the stealthy and unprinci-
piled acts of Gen. Taylor to rob the South
'ern States of their dearest principles" ex-
claims the Houston Telegraph. This new
attitude of New Mexico has been impelled
"by renewed order from Washington"
says The Union Gen. Taylor is much
mistaken if he expects Texas to submit to
this" says the Teras Ranger, and so on.
1t is Old lack, and nobody else, according
to these worthless, who has placed New Mex
leo in her present attitude, and dissipated
all projects for carrying Slavery up to lat.
20. We trust that the President has
not only deserved these fierce denuncia-
tons, but that he is ready to take the
responsibility The spirit Of all his avow-
ais on the general subject has been, "While
Il have nothing to do with the question of
extending or establishing Slavery here or
there, will encourage the People of the
New Territories to organize, as soon as may
BE, State Governments and adopt such in
'stitutions as they see fit"
This is what the anti PrOviso folks profess
ed I, desire one little year ago; we now de-
mand that they act accordingly. California
and New Mexico have formed State Constitu-
tons, and their provisions respecting Slave
ry are VIGOROUSLY, palpably in accordance
with their natural aspects, their social con-
dition and the wishes Oftheir People. Now
let them be admitted into the Union, and
whether in one bill or two is a minor con-
sideration entirely, nor shall We care if the
intermediate territory is organized by the
same bill, though we should prefer sepa-
rate bill for each. But any proposition to
organize NewMexico as Territory is now
too late. She is a State, and as such, is
henceforth to be regarded and cherished.
But these menaces, these demonstra-
tons from Texas, must be met. Grant that
there is some poetry in the assertion of The
Ranger that "eyery man in West Texas
is willing to shoulder his gum" &c. it is
still clear that an effort will be made to over
