Coy. bANLY IN E&kOyf SENATOR'S !.
Those ewho heard Gov. Manly Oh fhs stalsp two
years Asos will prohbly rsn,einbsr how be denounes
ed ths Mexican War. and hov he charged that the
acquisition Of Territory as the result Of that War,
would soon place negro Senators in Congress, side
by side with Mangum and Badger. The Territory
was acquired, az it ought to. have been; and now,
instead of governing il. and protesting the inhabi
ants until such time they should become competent
to organize themselves independent State, what
has been the policy and course Of Mr.. Manly's idol
and particular friend, Gen. Taylor! Why, he abso-
lately recommended, months ago, that these people
should be left TO themselves; that no government
should be given them by Congress; but that, !" i'm
mediately, if not sooner" they should 60 through
themselves for admission as State footing with
the Old Thirteen! And the recommendation has
been carried out. Under military orders, given out
by subaltern, Col. Monroe, and sanctioned by Gen.
Taylor, these people haze assembled framed State
Constitution prohibiting Slavery, Gen. Taylor
pected they would do; and they now stand ready for
association with such States as New York and North
Carolina. And who are these New Mexicans? Let
Mr.. Clay answer. In his speech in the Senate on
the 21st of May, in opposition to the Presidents
plan, he said
There are about ten thousand people there, com.
posed Of Americans, Spaniards, and Mexicans; and
about eighty thousand or ninety thousand Indians,
civilized, uncivilized, half civilized, and barbarous
people, and when will they be ready 70 come in as
State? Sir, say it under full sense of the res
possibility of my position, that If tomorrow, with
such population and such constitution as such
population might make, they were to come here for
admission as State, for one would not vote for
hp II he esr0/. 81
,oouM bring into contempt the graue matter Of forming
common,ceaAhs as sovereign members Of this glorious
Union. She has no population, in sufficient num-
bers, morally capable Of seygorernnsenr, nor will she
have for many years to come, such population as
will make it proper to admit her as State.''
And now, what will IS His Excellency' say to
that Is he still shocked at the idea of the ssnegro
Senator'S? II so, who but his dear friend, Gen.
Taylor, is responsible for it! Will Gov. Manly
stand up before the people, and attempt to justify
Gen. Taylor in such conduct! We shall see.
And what will he say, in defence of that policy of
Gen. Taylor, ,Ohich has led to the erclusion q the
shareholders Of North Carolina from Neac Merico, just
they were kept out of California by snap judg-
ment taken by parcel of adventures against them
What says the Register! Does that paper take this
pill also! Of course. 1t is sugared by patronage
and besdes has not that paper all along argued that
it made no difference, practically, whether the Will
mot Proviso was applied to these Territories not,
as Slavery could not 60 there any way! 1t would
not be prudent for the organ" to differ with the Ad-
minisration just now. 1t might embarrass, to some
extent, the great Wing party'' of the State and,
after all, what does the Register or Gov. Manly care
about Southern rights, hare good IVh;g
