REJECTION OF HUGH N. SMITH.

HUeu N. SMITH, the intelligent, high-spirited
delegate from New Mexico, who 20 ably urged
her claims during the first session of the Con-
gress which has just expired was nominated late
ly by the President, as Secretary for New Mexico
He was we'll qualified for the highest office in
the Territory and had better claims to official
station in New Mexico than resident Of the
States. Nobody could doubt his entire compe-
tence, or his fidelity to the interests Of his con-
stituents But tie Senate, acting IN secret session,
rejected his nOminafiOn-Clay and Underwood OF
Kentucky being the only Southern men who
voted in his favor. He was rejected, because,
though a native of Kentucky son Of slave
holder and educated under slsveholdiDg institu-
tions, he wrote letter to his constituents last
year. urging them to exclude slavery from their
Territory, as a social and political evil The
same Senate which prescribed him for his Anti
Slavery sentiments few days before ratified
without difficulty the nominations of Judge Ba-
ker of Mississippi, and Judge Brocchus, of this
place. both Shareholders for the Offices of Chief
Justice in Utah and New Mexico. As the Free
States have a majority in the Senate, and Clay
and Underwood voted for Smith, il is certain that
a number Of Northern men with Southern prin-
cples must have aided in his execution Were
it not for the secresy of the Senate proceedings
relative to nominations, the People would know
the names of the traitors.

why should not the oolored population of the
United States colonize Mexico aud the West To-
dies They can be citizens in both, equal in
rights and dignity with native citizens; and their
intelligence and familiarity with the art Of self

But let the Government keep its hand out
Of the business. Let the people Of Jamaica
and the other islands take measures for dffus-
ing in this country correct and ample informa-
ton concerning the advantages TO be secured
by colored emigrants in the West Indies. Let
them hold out inducements powerful enough
to start the tide of emigration. Let our col
ored people consider the subject for themselves,
and should they think favorably of it, organize
bands Of emigrants, for mutual counsel and pro-
lection, aspiring to do for the great West India
archipelago what the European races are doing
for this continent. Ii is work worthy Of their
highest ambition, and it would tend to develop
their energy and self-respect. They would then
feel as if they too had a mission. No longer
passive sufferers. looking to others for aid and
protection, they would become active Adventures,
relying upon therown strength, trusting to their
own sagacity, and commanding the respect Of

If evidence were needed to show the de-
generacy of the times, it would be found
in the manner in which the Wing aud Demo-
cratic papers have generally treated the transac-
ton on which we are commenting. Many of the
best Of them openly justify it, on grounds repug-
nant to every principle Of true Republicsnlsm
and insulting to the People; while many others
are silent or Indifferent. For ourselves, we hold
that the purity and safety Of our institutions re-
quire that every officer Of the Government keep
himself clear, during his term Of office, from pc
cuniary obligation to "public-spirited persons

TWO WEEKS LATER FROM CALIFORNIA.

The new steamship North America arrived at

monts chances were improving. The Indian
difficulties were increasing every day. The Nev
YORK Tribune says:
"The Indian disturbances have become seri-
GUS and we see little prospect of their being set
tied, except by a war Of determination. There
never can be permanent peace between the mot
ley communities Of the gold rcgion--the rangers
and prospecters" who, during the summer, pen
citrate TO sll the valleys and Businesses of the Me-
vada, and the indians, whom they necessarily
dispossess The American, In his rough state,
has the most sovereign contempt for every other
race than his own, and il is useless TO expect him
to treat with any degree Of justice the british
and degraded digger of California, standing
lowest in the scale Of the aboriginal tribes of
this continent. The Commissioners may make
treaties, but what shall prevent their immediate
violations The Indians, numbering probably
not more than 20, 600 in all, and divided into a
number Of small tribes, and scattered over q re-
gion more than one thousand miles in extent--a
region, too, which for years to come will be vir-
tually without the pale of the State jurisdiction
A single lawless act will be sufficient to undo all
the work Of the Government agents, and renew
the present and indiscriminate system of warfare.
We hope a better feeling may prevail, as the
mining communities become permanent and more
thoroughly Organized. The California Indian
will soon enough disappear, in the inevitable
course Of that destiny which has opened the long
hidden treasures Of the Pacific coast TO the ener-

The writings of Mr. Perkins deserve a more
extended and analytic criticism than it is now in

by much tenderness and spirituality there is
great power in some Of his sketches and essays

This is a work to be eagerly sought for, and
read with keen interest, 1t is succession Of
fearless comments and criticisms on the most i'm
portant characters and events Of the authors
time-a collection of political sketches done in
the freest and boldest style Of the art The read
er is often startled and shocked by the breadth
and audscity Of his statements, and the plain
English of his language. Though not disposed
to find fault, we must say there too many little
scandalous stories, coarse illusions and even de-
tails, scattered through the volume. But, perhaps
ia the authors estimation, these were necessary
to give truthful and piquant character to bis
