SLAVERY AMONG THE MExIcANs.

A letter from Albuquerque, New Mexico,
to the St. Louis Republican speaking Of
treaties concluded between the United States
and the Indians, says:
"There is one difficulty which has given.
and will give more trouble in the stability of
our treaties with the Indians here, than any
thing else, and that is, that we require them
to give up all stock and capiiyes taken aftor
certain period of our possession Of tho
country; and when they ask to have their
women and children, we reply that we can
not do it-that it would cause revolution.
There is in this country a state of things
existing which is much more worthy the ef.
forts of your philanthropists. your abolition.
lists and your nigger.loving whites, than the
question of slavery; aud that is the fact that
there are thousands, | might say, of Indian
women and children who have been stolen
from their families and sold into slavery.
worse than Southern slavery. l have seen
frequently little children, from eighteen
months to six years old, led around the couu-
try like beasts, by Mexican who had pro.
babiy stolen them from their mother not
more than week, and offered for sale from
forty to one hundred and twenty dollars.
They will go out, on the pretcncc Of trading
with the Indians, and watch the time when
the men are absent. nounoo upon tho women
and children, and take such rs they think
will sell proftably. All this is known, and
has been brought to the attention Of the au.
thorities; yet it is still encouraged and per.
mitted to be carried OH openly. I say en-.
couragcd, for it could easily be stopped.
Hence the continued war with the Mexicans,
the difficulty Of treaties being kept, aud tho
bitter feelings engcndercd."

RELIGIOUS ITEMS FROM FRANCE.

Meanwhile, we are going back very tas
to the times which we thought past forever
OF systematic persecution against Pro
testants. The following recent fact, which
| have on good authority, may show you
what we have to fear. Connected with the
whole system of the French University is I:
normal school in Paris, where all those who
wish to become professors in any college,
throughout France, must study. The can.
didates, from all provinces, are first exam.
incd by the sectional university in which
they live, and, if admitted, are allowed to
come and study in the normal school at
Paris. a few days ago, the Minister OF
Public Instruction, Fortoul, issued instruc.
tions to whom it concerns, forbidding them
to accept any candidate for the normal
school, who is either Jew or Protestant,
and in that way, excluding from the profts-
sorships, in all the French colleges, those
who do not profess the Roman Catholic
religion.
have just heard, also, that Rev. Mr..
Cook, an English Methodist preacher in
Paris, has been forbidden to preach, because
he is a foreigner. OF course, it is not his
being Il foreigner, but his preaching, which
is obnoxious to our masters.
We are having Just low a touching exam
pie of the unity of the Romish church. A
N. BouIrt published, few years ago, a
volumnous Dictionary of History and Geo.
graphy. .As soon as the book appeared,
Jealous paper denounced it as containing
many things contrary to the Roman Catho.
lie manner of understanding history. Fear
ing that such attacks might injurc his costly
enterprise, NJ. Bouillet went to the Arch
bishop of Paris, aud begged him to institute
Il committee to examine, correct, and change
in lis book, every thing contrary to the
church, and give to the cxpurgated work
his appreciation. \ committee of priests
was accordingly instituted, the book exam.

archbishop affixed to a new edition Of it.
But the Univcrs again attacked the book,
until the archbishop was obliged to publish
a charge against that paper, and remind it
of the submission it owes to the decisions
of spiritual authority. Years have passed
away; NJ. Eouillet's book was doing very
good business, even among the priests, when |
the other day comes from Rome piece of
news. The book examined, corrected, ap-

Iycwyp1ARISM IN PEHDLEToH.--We learn
from the Keuwee Courier that an attempt
was made Oh last Thursday night to set on
fire the village Of Pcndleton. The incen-
diary had made all necessary preparation,
having collected large quantity OF com
bustible matter, among which was a large
quantity Of paper. The house selected was
the carriage shop Of MIR. Sloan, from which
the fire would have been communicated to
all parts of the village. The hour selected
for this most atrocious design shows that 1t
had been prcmeditated, the fire being com,
muuica,ed when all the village was absent
at church. The only thing that saved the
village was owing to the circumstance that
Il few servants were present, and succeeded
in stopping the fire before it had done much
injury.

the host Of imitators, who have been constantly

cient to attest his brilliant success. The prompt
ness with which every new idea thathc suggests is
