BLACK LAW OF INplANA.--rhe following are the provisions forming part of the new Constitution oI Indiana, which were submitted to a separate vote at the recent election. and adopted as part of the instrument by majority larger than that given for the Constitution-it is said by 30,0o0 Sec. l. No negro or mulatto shall come into, or settle in this State, after the adoption of this Constitution.
 Sec. ?. All contracts made with any negro or mulatto coming into thS State contrary 10 the fore going section, shai be void: and all persons " 1o shall employ, or otherwise encourage such negro mulati0 to remain in the Stcte, shall be fined in any sum not less than ten dollars, nor more than five hundred dollars.
 Sec. 5. All fines which may be collected for a violation of the provisions of thus article or any law which may hereafter be passed for the pur- pose of carrying the same into execution. shali be set apart and appropriated for the colonization of such negroes and muattoes. and their descendants, as may be m the State al the adoption Of this con sttation; and may be willing 10 emigra,e.
 Sec. 4. The General Assembly shall pass laws to carry out the provisions of this article.
 It was the apprehension of the adoption of these provisions. which led to the holding of the late convention of cbiored people at Indianapolis which passed resolutions the subject of settlement and emigration. in opposition to what was then sup posed to be public sentiment on that subject.

reclension of cen. aui,man.

Gen. Quitman has, says the MisSssppian, with drawn from the canvass for reasons which he will state in a published communication. We can briefly state that he regards the late Act of the people as decisive against his policy for redressns the wrongs the State has suffered at the hands Of the Northern majority, and that he does not con slider It proper under the circumstances for him to continue in the attitude of candidate for the Chief Magistracy of the State. He has conducted the canvass with great ability, and all his speeches have been characterized by dignity and by courtesy towards those with whom he has differed Like all public men who pursue boldly the honest con vicrons of their minds, without turning to the right or to the Jeff, he has been prominent mark for the shafts of detraction; but very many who differed with him on the question of our wrongs, and the proper mooe of redressing then will unite with us in saying that more bold patriotic and honorable man coud not have been selected 10 occupy the Executive chair. He retses with the undminishad confidence of those who know him best, in the honesty of parpose, the purity of his heart, and with their admiration heightened for his noble qualities as citizen and statesman.

A late MaIseilies (French) paper has minute account of horrible instance of csnn5alism and idola,ry, thst occurred in negro settlement on She eastern coast of Africa. IL appears that the King of a negro village of GTsnd BasSs, situated on the right bank of river Of that name, made arrange ments for feast. and to concilate the idol to God which be and his tribe worshpped, procured q negro from an interior village 10 sacrifice. The captive escaped, but was TetaSen, and the account says:
