ENLARGED Liberty.

When we hear white men utterlng sentl-
men;s adverse to our ideas OF nationality we,
should do the same, and i'll this case there is
no more excuse. The black republicans have
no right to find fault with anybody for assail-
ing our institutions, or the memory of our
patriots. No one, in this respect, has exceed

has been reserved to this late day-to black
member Of the Black "Republican' party
to the city of Boston, and to the propagators
of civil war to apply this epithet so the
immortal Washington. One Of the most
distinguished citizens of Boston lately presi-
ded at public meeting in Faneui Hall and
listened famav to rciterations of this epthet
from the lips Of black philanthropist merely
remarkng to ''the gentleman" that some
allowance should be made for the antecedents
and education of Washington, and some
thing for the times in which he lived !.
Our fellow citizens will scarcely credit it,
that language such as this was not only per
mitted, but applauded in Old Faneuil Hall.
And it would be entirely unworthy OF atten-
ton if it had not been countenanced by po-
Htieal party which not only assas lis by
omen war, but is at this moment organizing
its efforts to obtain the control Of the Gov

The Portland, Me- ArguS, states that the
Black Republicans OF Norway, in that State

upon its front but sixteen stars, to designate

Mr.. Editor:-In your last weeks issue |
see an article copied from the State Tribune,
which says that no bill was passed by the
late Legislature as can Act in relation to
forced sales of mining claims in certain
cases.
Your humble servant stands among those
who maintain that the legislature cannot pass
any constitutional law whatever in relation
thereto. Uncle Sam is the bona tidc owner
of all the mining ground in this State-it is
public land to all intents and purposes; and
what right has the State to medde with it,
either in the enactment of laws to dispossess
men of that possession given, tactly it is true,
by the United States, or to pass laws taxing
this ground or mining claims?
Men have been, by form of State law, de-
prived of their claims, but it is the strong
man against the weak one--the latter com
PEELED to give way because he has not the
means to carry on the contest to higher
tribunal having the last right to settle the
question. But it is a palpably plain point of
law, most assuredy to be decided against
these usurpers of Uncle Sans rights, some
of these days.
The democrats of this place lave not yet
made the first move towards organization.-
Can you not stir up the party to move? 1t
is high time surely. The man with the tall
glazed hat passed through your village this

The Cause of the Row.

An enthusiastic correspondent of the Pa
c;fc writing from New Haven, Conn, gives
one some idea of the manner in which Kan
sas hes been, and is now being, colonized.-
One can easily see how all these difficulties
have been famed into existence by this sys-
tematic crusade of the abolitionists.
1t must be great sacrifice of principle in
these great moralists, when they deny them
selves the prviledge of revoluionizing the
southern States. They have the same right
to emigrate to Mississippi that they have to
Oregon or Kansas.
1--WE make the following extract from the
letter:
"Connecticut has done her share towards
the settlement of California, and the estab-
lishment of its various institutions and it does
not mean to be behind other states in efforts
to make Kansas forever free. \ company of
about hundred colonists from New Haven
and vicinity has been organized and sent on
its way. with the prayers and good wishes
and benefactions of the whole community.
In connection with their departure, public
meetings have been held of unusual interest;
the first, on the evening Of the Sabbath, gave
opportunity for expressions of Christian at
tachment and of sincere regard for the Com
pany and the cause they espousc. few
days after, second meeting was held in the
North church, which was crowded, though
fee was charged for admission This meeting
listened to an address from Rev. II. w. Beech
er, at the close of which subscriptions were
made to furnish the colony with 'Sharpe's
Rifles" and in the course of few minutes,
twenty-seven were pledged by those present,
besides twenty-five which Mr.. Beecher offer
ed in the name of his own church. The
bidding was commenced by the venerable
Prof Sliman, who said he wished to head
the list, and give one Sharpe's rifle. Rev.
Mr.. Dutton said one of the colonists was
deacon of his church, and he wished to pre-
sent to him bible and a rife. And so the
bidding went on

The late elections throughout this State
sufficiently indicate the opinion of the people,
as to the usefulness of the order-they stamp
it failure. OF course Mr.. c. will be stig-

do not wish him credited, when he speaks
