IL The National Intelligencer has the fol-
lowing condemnatory notice Of Governor
Lanes coup d'etat:
RuaoRED TROUBLES IN New MEXICO
The reader will peruse with no little sur
prise the subioined report from New Mexi-
co. giving an account of what appears 10 be
a most gratituous adventure on the part Of
the Governor Of that Territory, and one
which, it seems, was not more in favor with
the experienced Commander of the Ninth
Military Department than with the Mexi-
can authorities whose jurisdiction the Gov
ernor SO summarily assaulted:
"NEw ORLEANS, April 2l.-Accounts
from New Mexico state that Governor Lane
has issued proclamation claiming Morel;
Valley as portion of the American terri
tory. The Governor asserts that the Val
ley was left out by neglect of Commissions,
Bartlett, in conducting the negotiations.
He therefore gave directions to Col. Sum.
mer TO proceed with an armed force and Sc
cure it. The Colonel, however, it is stat
ed, refused to obey the instructions. Ii
the mean time, the Mexican authorities
having received information Of the claim
made by Gov. Lane, Immediately sent
body of several hundred troops, who hut
orders to resist the American authorities i
they attempted TO take passion of the Val
ley, which is claimed as a portion Of tn,
Mexican possessions. Considerable excite
ment prevailed, and it was feared that col
lision would take place.

Col, Benton-Pacific Road.

We observe that Col. Benton is 10 speak
at Kansas, to-day, on the subject of the
Pacific Rail Road. The announcement is
made in the ''St. Louis Democrat" but we
have not heard of Col. Benton's passing up
the river. He is devoted 10 this great national
enterprise, and as he understands the subject
more thoroughly, perhaps, than any living
man, and has the capacity to make himself
understood, we shall lock- for his forthcom-
ing speech with interest. The whole coun-
try is interested, in this work, and Missou-
ri is doubly interested hence every one
should take lively interest in its advance
ment. If sufficient time is given, Col. Ben
ton will have a large crowd to hear him.
1--WE learn since the above was in
type that Col. Benton passed up on the
Clara" Tuesday evening.

Plank Road.

The Plank Road is progressing. The
work of laying the Plank was commenced
at this end of the route last week, and it is
expected five miles out will be completed
and toll gate erected by the first or mid
die of next month. The present rainy
weather retards the work, but the contrac-
tors are on the ground, pushing it forward
Several miles of Plank are laid at different
points on the route, and but for the difficult
ty of procuring laborers, the work would
have been greatly more advanced. The
contractors are paying high wages, but can
not procure as many hands as could be work.

prospects of Slavery.

The institution Of Afric n slavery is eve
ny day becoming more and more isolated; and,
by consequence, the section in which it ex-
lists, and to which it gives prosperity and
peculiar characteristics, is being gradually
removed from the pale of sympathy and
social intimacy with the rest of the world.
Everywhere slavery is denounced, and the
STAKEHOLDER regarded as an inhuman tyrant.
What will be the effect of this upon the
permanency Of the institution, and how
should it dispose shareholders 10 their out
side enemies? The influence of slavery in
the National Government has certainly been
for long time on the wane. The last
eventful struggle is of yesterday, and the
resultes forever condemned it TO political in
feriority. A wall has been built up around
it, and its u,talHy must henceforward increase
rather by The perfect,o' and energy Of its in
ternal organization, than By the expansion Of
, its domain.
In conformity with this institutions are
steadily advancing in stability and prosperi-
ty at home. The once unshorn face Of ma
ture now blooms with splendid harvests; the
distant valleys are welded with iron nup-
tials; earth gives up her buried wealth; each
share the products of all; while year after
year discovers new resources, whose devel-
opment hold up a future of unexampled
wealth and power. More than all, and as
the legitimate result of incessant vitupera-
ton and persecution, her people are learn
ing to regard slavery in its true light. Not
as thing of expediency, nor necessary
evil, nor an institution less bad than North
ern or British slavery, but as positively good
in ITSELF and productive Of the most benef-
cent results to both governing and governed.
Sustained and confirmed by this conviction,
it has partaken of higher life, and receiv-
ed stronger assurance of its perpetuity.
But if not by the expansion of area, GER
tainly by the diffusion of her grand product,
the South is growing more powerful abroad.
There is not an additional bale of cotton
which leaves our shores, but renders the
world more tributary to her labor, and more
dependent upon its successful permanency.
Defying all competition, whitening the
wharves Of every port, and clothing alike
the peasant and the prince, whithersoever it
goes, cotton fights and conquers for South
ern slavery. 1t closes the question by its
actual and widespread blessings.

Brunswick-High Water Editor Blue


We made avery unfortunate hit few
weeks since, in our efforts to give an unim-
portant piece of news, in reference to the
town of Brunswick, but were not aware Of
the fact until the last "Brunswicker," where
of DIR. Blue is Editor, arrived. We are
pleased to learn the "ravages Of the high
water" have been of advantage to the town,
but can see no sense or reason in Editor
Blue getting his back up, because we stated
a fact, viz: that the inroads the river was
making upon the river bank, had determined
the business men 10 locate farther back; this
we then understood, and still understand, is
true--and we think the town will be bene-
fited. But why should the Editor get in a
passion, because we said this, and be guilty
of the school-boy habit, calling names?-
The time was Doctor, when you lived on
high and dry situations such as Glasgow
aad Monticello, that you enjoyed the repu
tation of jocundity-you laughed and grew
fat, but since you have been "Pollywog.

KENTucKIAKs.-The Kentuckians are
known as hearty, bold and disinterested
people, fond of sport, and in love with their
State. The New Englanders and New
Workers say they never met a Kcntuckian
who did not think his State terrestrial
paradise; his wife is always the prettiest, his
horse the best, his house the most comforta-
BILE in the Union. They certainly are most
amiable companions, and their healthy and
athletic appearance leaves no doubt that on
the turf and the battlefield, they are ahead
of either the Westerners or Southerners.-
The estates are here larger than in the
East; but of course the Dollar is also
scarcer. The population raises principally
cattle, horses and pigs; some hemp, flax and
tobacco are cultivated, and great deal of
wheat and Indian corn. All this is done
with the help OF slaves, who in this State, as
in Virginia and Maryland, are generally
better treated and fed than further down in
the South, on the cotton, rice and sugar
plantations. The Kentuckians like to be
cheerful and to be surrounded by sprghtly
countenances. Therefore he is kind to his
slaves; and it is easy'to deal with him. From
his fathers he has inherited the sturdy
feelings of Independence. The hardest
sons Of Virginia had explored this country,
and settled down on the fertile soil.

C. H. Green, Esq,
-. ,. Editor "Glasgow Times"
DEAR SIR:-Of course cannot but feel
honored by the very complimentary terms
in which both you and the Editor of the
"St. Louis News" have spoken of me, in
connection with our approaching Congress
ional election, and greatly regret that ii
would be quite out of my power to be q
candidate, should it be the pleasure Of the
Wings of the District to offer me that po-
sitiuB.
trust feel as sensibly as any one the
obligation we are all under to make our prl-
yate interest and personal convenience yield
to greater public good-but there are cir
cumstances under which citizen may with
propriety withhold himself from public SER
vice-and every one must judge Of this
matter fer himself, subject, however, 10 a
just responsibility. In thus declining to
become a candidate, have the qualification
of knowing that there is no lack of Wing
material in our District, and that we shall
have no difficulty in providing, (as it will be
our duty to provide,) Wing candidate,
who will do.honor to our party, while can
didate, andsgood service to the country,
when elected. As soon as our candidate is
finally agreed upon, and in the field, it will
be the duty of every Wing, to do his utter
most for the good old cause; and in this
contest, l shall be found in the ranks, live
Whig--never despairing Of the Right, nc
matter what the odds against it may be
and struggling manfully for the triumph Of
Wing Men, and Wing Principles.

IRELAND lMPRovING.-A cores pondent
of the NewYork Courier says: Allis now
activity in spring labor. A change is visible
in regard TO cultivation; stock farming and
grazing succeed potatoe patches in the south
west, and flax cultivation greatly increasing,
and wheat growing proporlionably diminish
ing. That the country is rising-preparing
for prosperous advance, no one now doubts,
while rail ways and mining operations, as
well as an increase in most of the branches
of commerce, prove that the improvement is
not IN agriculture alone.

IL The Editor of the "Brunswicker'
calls the "Times" ''little stern wheel pa
per-" We suppose the term "stern Wheel
is applied in malice, because "One Dollar
propels the "Times" to the fresdes OF so
many persons who do not like to pay 1.-TWO
Dollars" for the "side-wheel' paper, the
Brunswicker." We are not vain of the
size of the Times" but it will certainly
bear comparison with the mammoth "Bruns-
wicker" Indeed we think one main cause
of DIR. Blues sourness Of temper arises
from the twichings Of conscience, for re-

Third District-Convention.

The wings of this District are turning
their attention to the approaching election.
The District being new, the wings have not
yet become acquainted, and for this reason,
it would be well to hold Convention, in
order that they might form personal ac-
quaintance, and effect more thorough or
ganzation. This is important, TO insure a
full vote for our Candidate, whoever he may
be-and as 10 who he may be, we care not
so that he is q whole wing, with the ability
and disposition to conduct the canvass ener-
getically, and reflect honor upon himself
and our State, If elected. There is nc
installing the wing feeling Of the District,
as to duty, and the inclination to perform
that duty; their voice is "still for war" in
behalf of their Principles and Policy, and
the only thing necessary to bring out their
entire force is a suitable standard-bearer
for the approaching contest. Shall we have
Convention for the purpose OF nominating
q candidate, getting better acquainted, and
adopting a thorough organization? We
should like to meet the Wigs in Conven-
ton, interchange views and sentiments, and
give and receive personal pledges to send a
Wing to Congress from this District
The wings of several counties have spoken,
and we would be pleased to hear from cur
wing friends in the other counties of the
District. We shall be pleased to give pub
licity 10 their views,
