remarkable in view OF the fact that it holds the
i've power OF the federal government,
Of the thiry-one governors OF States. the democrats
have elected twenty six, and will probably in October
next add Pennsylvania TO the list. leaving the wings
four governors--of New York, Vermont, Florida, and
Tennessee In the legislatures Of tweny-one States last
elected, the democrats had decided maoT,es, the wings
retaining only the legislatures OF the six States OF New
York. Vermont, Maryland, Kentucky, Tennessee and Cal
lorna while the free sellers held the balance of power
in the legislatures of Connecticut, Massachusetts, and
Ohio and coalition OF anti Benton democrats and wings

This state OF things is wholly unprecedented in the his
ory OF past federal administrations But, in order TO
complete the pct add the fact tina, the wings
of the South and the wings Of the North appear TO be

Our readers will find in another column extracts from
the papers OF this interesting State 10 the Isl OF last
month. That from the Herald, Ia neutral paper } in
respect party views this side of the continent
significant proof OF the justice OF the complaint grow
ing Of the tardness OF the administration in carrying
into execution the provisions already made by Congress
for the wants OF the people the other side of the
linent.
But il is not alone in California that these complaints
exist In Santa Fe il appears that the Indians are still
engaged in depreciation and plumber and adequate pro-
teclon provided Procanatons and orders are easily
issued. but they not what is needed by our sui-
ferng country for the protection of its interests
On the latter subject, we inse the following letter
SANTA FE, New MEXICO,
August /, 1851.
TO the Editor Of the Union:
SIR Allow me, through the medium of you paper to
call the attention of the ''powers that be- to the
want OF protection to the inhabitants OF this Territory
from Indian depredations
Indian depedations have become frequent that there
is now no dependence in the troops whatever To whom
the blame is to be attached canno, say.
On the night of the q ult band of Indians attacked
the camp OF Nesb and Parker and v contractors, and
run Oft seventy nine mules and splendid horses,
There man wounded There only eight
Americans at the camp, who compelled TO take
mouse ADJOINING. lnert ore party OF the lnuans
beseged Them while the other party broke down their
wall and run oil the mules. Colonel Brooks company
at the time, but rendered assistance.
Another attack was made the camp of Ardnger and
Ormesby, Cebolleta. The Indians killed three men,
and wounded nne and burned all the wagons Several
other ouages have been committed throughout the
try and later than last night express received
bringing the information that the Indians had Oft
about forty mules from the camp of MIR. r. Nesb This
is the second attack made this genleman's property,
at a loss to him of 900.
Now, is il lust that our citizens should suffer these
losses Is it just that this country should be filled with
agents. officers, and soldiers, and that an enormous
expense to the country, and yet people be robbed,
pundered, and murdered with mpunity'
The Of this country calls for the attention of the
government There are thousands here willing to
volunteer to punish the savages but our officials are
quite Indifferent on the subject.
Yours, JUNIUS.

General Quitmah WtthdrNWn SaHulunto
The following despatch received by us last eve
ming, and, it bore responsible signature, the fact
which il states admits OF doubt Every lover OF the
Union will rejoice a. the evidence thus afforded of that
deep seated attachment to institutions which is felt
by the great body OF people No party zeal, no
tona passion, personal attachment lessons the force
OF that sentiment which unites people. But,
above all, il is most gratifying that this sentiment should
be displayed at this by Mississippi, whose citi
zens next 10 those OF South Carolina have been regard
ed under the influence of that sensbilty which
might resent too strongly the injury threatened by the
fanatic nermeddng Of the aboltionists with the most
sacred OF southern rights But instead OF the rived oak fall
ing into pieces by stroke of lightning from the clouds,
only the atmosphere preparing itself to duse its
life giving showers instead OF the destructive vengeance
of injured people, we see only the dignhed resolve
OF patriotism, scathing in It's forbearance than it
would be in its menace.
May we not hcrc that South Carolina, following the
example of Mississippi, will enable TO say that the
South stands as a unit the Compromise, and that the
northern democracy may be assured that its aterna rally
the same platform appreciated. and will be cordially
responded to?
