of the various delicate and complicated quas-

of the conflicting preteusions of the North and
South, upon the subject of slavery, We're well

From .Neir .uerico.-Fhe Missouri Republic
an Of the 2sth ut, publishes news from New
Mexico TO lac 26th of April, The census of the
Territory, taken by the direction Of Gov Cal
houn, shows the entire population, 56,9si-ln-
dans excepted. The ratio Of representation for
the country is fixed, for the Council, at 1884 +;
for the House, 2l52. The list of appointments
for New Mexico, made at the close of the last
Congress- had been received by mail, and they
were looking for their early arrival. Two Of the
Judges had not yet made their appearance. Gov.
Calhoun, on tie 23d Of April, issued his pro-
clamaton for an election Of members Of the
| Legislative Assembly, apportionlng the number
/ of members of the Council and Of the House a.
mong the several counties. The assembly so
elected was to meet on the % inst Fifteen
companies of the u. s. troops, under command
of Col Munroe, were 10 leave New Mexico ON
the 10th of May, ON a compalgn against the
Navajo Indians. The treaty consummated on
the 80 of April between Gov. Calhoun and Col
Munroe, on the part of our Government, with
the Chief of the Apaches living east OF the Rio
Grande. has already been most signally violated
Towards the close of April, descent was made
upon Fort Barclay, and all the stock belonging
TO the settlement was run of An attack was
also made upon the village Of Moro. The JIG
carillas were concentrating in large cumbers in
the vicinity of San Miguel, on the I'd of May
1t was feared that they would commit fresh de-
predations. Capt Reynolds and Maj Weight
man are the candidates for the Office of delegate

has m existence within its borders This Is scarcely
revolution. But the general government attempts 70
exercise authority that has ceased to 10
force Here is reyolution--aggression by the
general government upon the citizens OF free ana
Independent State. Secession is not reVoiuton-n
nossiblv might produce revolution, though not in itself
revolutionary act. Let US illustrate TINS Postioh'-
1t is provided that each State shall appoint IN such
manner as the legislature thereof may direct NUMBER
of electors equal to the number of senators and repre-
sentatves to which the State is entitled IN Congress
Suppose the Legislature has discharged It's part oi
the obligation by giving to the State its election law.
So far every thing is in obedience to the requirements
of the constitution The election day comes but the
People refuse to vote for electors. The constitution
of the u. S. declares that "each State ShaH appoint
electors &C. The constitution of States points out
how and by whom these electors shall be appointed
The constitution declares that they shall be appointed
by the ballots of the People. But the People refuse 10
ballot Here peaceful separation of the State from
the Union and we ask how and in what manner the
State is to be coerced Surely will contend that
Congress can pass laws forcing the people to vote or
forfeit penalty-this would be assumption OF pow
er unrecognzed in this country, and the Legislature oil
the State has authority to appoint the electors be-
cause the constitution gives the appointment to the
people, The general government would scarcely at
tempt coercion by the power of the sword and bayonet
and as to manfesting the power of the general gov
eminent through the courts justice, that is ridiculous
and simple.
The people may vote if they will, but if they decline
it occurs to us it is their right We ask the fierce
denouncers of those who contend for the right OF Sc
cession if there is any thing unconstitutional in any
mans declining vote, if there is any way in which
men who decline exercising that right, may be punish
ed We will remark that the constitution fails to
supply the means to meet such the one sup
posed.
1t believed that the right of voting or not is one Of
the rights the submissonists will scarcely deny that
the people yet retaint has not been bartered away
by compromises or ''adjustments.''

OFThe Hon. F. NJ. Rogers has exchanged circuits
with Judge Watts for the spring session of the circuit
Judge w. is spoken of as an able and dignfed
officer and his social qualities make for him troops OF
friends wherever he goes.
tits unnecessary to commend Judge Rogers to the
kind attention of our friends in the east for having made
similar visit to that section few years snce he i'm
pressed upon the memory of the people there by his de-
and suavity fmanner many pleasing recol-
lections, that he will meet with cordial welcome.
GsWe are requested to announce that meet
ing of the citizens of this county, who are alike op
posed to the ultraisms of those who advocate i'm
mediate secession and of those who love the Union
SO much that they are willing to compromise, y
and sell the rights of their State, and the whole
South, for the privilege of serving their Northern
-'allies" without compensation, will be held at the
Court House on MONDAY THE 18TH OF MARCH next,
the first day of Court.
1t is believed by the friends of the rights of the
South, that the State by prudent, peaceable and
constitutional legislation, has it in her power to
der herself independent of the North by the encou-
ragement of labor and manufactures at home-by
a judicious tax operating upon the produce and
manufactures of those States which have participa-
ted in robbing of the vast empire which we as
sisted in acquiring, and by establishing direct
trade with our Southern Charleston, Savan-
nah, Mobile, New Orleans and Galveston-instead
of supporting the negro thieves and harborers of
the North, who are fattening upon our substance
and living upon toll and labor, while they are
insulting citizens and degrading urinstitutions
and destroying constitutional rights and equal
ity, in the union of these States.
Those who disapprove of the Wilmot proviso and
the compromise" proyiso, or final adjustment
robbery, measures precisely equal to the same
thing, and to one another, and who agree with
views here expressed, earnestly and cordially
invited to meet at Columbus, the first Monday
of Court, to organize that they may be enabled
to express their voice in the important State Con-
yention called by our legislature, to meet on the
first Monday in November next.
Preparatory to the general meeting, it is propos-
ed to hold meetings in the different portions of the
county, for consultation and arrangement, among
the friends of the South, that time may be given
for reflection and for sober and discreet action.
Several gentlemen will address the people at the
times and places hereafter named, on the subject
embraced in this call

raton is not to the Souh-the of this
is true. They, then, who the former necessarily
fail to the latter because the South demands
that which the administration denies her.
These expositions do not desire to indulge in
with our neighbor of the Republican, but if he has any
penchant that way, he shall be gratifed.
0JThere are many things in the world men are COM
PEELED do that they would desire to avoid Such is
the position in which we find ourselves placed now
Through ignorance malice, some person or persons
have thought put into the mouths of those
who opposed to this press and the doctrines it adj
votes, certain little stories calculated to against
its conductors unknd feelings and suspicious of their
sincerity. 1t has been asserted that purchased the
entire material wooden fixtures and ALL for this press,
at the North, thereby defrauding own mechanics
out of job This is serious accusation against our
sincerity, and should be well sustained by proof to
lieve its propogator from having maltcousy gno-
rantly originating story without the least foundation
whatever So far from this being the truth we refus-
ed to purchase any article that it possible to have
manufactured here. We could have saved money by
adopting the course suggested by malice ignorance
but we did not adopt that course have deprived
malice of its poisoned tooth, and our foes of sweet
cud of comfort. The doctrine we preach we practice
it is preached not for effect but because do practice
and believe it. We will further observe that every
tice that possible to have made here by
mechanics, has been given to them at a cost proba-
bly, of one fourth more than they could have been pur
chased at the North. We had the money to pay for
everything necessary for the office when at the North
and hence could have supplied ourselves with every
cessary, and we now have money to pay the mechan-
les who have labored for u.s.
In this connection we make another remark. 1t is
of elevatng certain in and about this town. This
is basey false destitute of the least color of TRUTH and
those who propagate such stuff unmitigated liars
The men whose appear at its editorial head
the and conductors of it, and while their inter
est as well their duty will prompt them to sustain
the doctrines they advocate, it be made the
subservent tool of demagogues.
There may be some who admire the soft and polish
ed denial that means anything nothing. We meet
alsehood and SANDER alsehood and Islander should
be met-face to face. We have but one language to
use in denouncing them. We use it. We shall not
beg the merchants of this town either to subscribe
advertise with us. We can live without their aid
The mechanics can support let it alone. We are
mechanics and could appeal to that reason to sus-
tain us. They must study their interests. Upon
the planting interest have claim and we are more
than grated in being able to say that it will be duly
acknowledged The exertion of our friends in the
country is meeting with its reward Let them keep
the ball in motion.

We understand that all the officers of this young
city except the Mayor were on the Temperance
ticket, and that large majority of the Aldermen are
wellknown and pledged opponents Of the rum traffic

congratulate the people of the city and nelghbor
hood upon the prospect of rodeemng spot within
the shadow of the Great Metropolis from the fearful
blight of intemperance Should the people be able to
give one year of strict temperance example, their
criminal and pauper records would be inyincible ar
gument for eternal Punishment OF alcohol We do
hope that the active zeal Of the friends Of Temper
ance which they have thus displayed at the polls,
will not be suffered abate, but that the warfare
against rum and its legitimate fruits of paupersm
and all manner Of crime will not abate until the
great destroyer is for ever oyerthrown. Temper
