him for the active part he had taken in making
California a free Stale; and the final result was
the election Of Col. Weller. Since that time be

the result of the ensavenlent of his ancestry for
more than thousand years, or is it a natural,
specific difference, developed in an ANALYSIS of
the elementary laws Of matter and OF mind?
In laying the foundations of new States, this
problem is worthy of the careful attention of the
proudest and wisest statesman on the floor of the
American Senate; Tor in Its solution he legislates
by its influence for the whole human race--not
only for the one thousand millions of people that
now 1--we, but for these teeming millions, as they
shall continue tocome and go while time shall
last.
That each my arrive at correct decision of

rived from standard writer's on physical, mental
and moral Science--frem such works as are used
in colleges, academies, and seminaries of learn
ing. all over the country-such works as are
placed in the hands of the student of law, of
medicine, aud of theology.
Psychologists tell us that there is no specific |
difference in the physical structure of the two |
races; that the solid parts Of their bodies are |
constituted of the same number of bones and |
joints, similarly located and distributed, that
there is not muscle, or tendon, or ligament or |
rein, or artery, or secretion, or absorbent, or 1
nerve of mo.ion or vol ion, found in the or /
gSnisln of one, that does not exist in the other;
hat each possesses the same senses Of sight of I

Nor has Congress any assurance that this war
is ended. The people of Missouri are secretly
marshalling their forces for the conflict They
have resolved to continue Slavery in the Terri
tory by force The shadow of the arm of the
General Government may be used for this pur-
pose but the propelling power is in Western
Missouri. The people there seem TO be laboring
under the strange deiason, that the safety oi
their slaves would be greatly endangered by the
re-establishment of Freedom in Kansas, not re-
fecting that Iowa bounds her on the north by
an open line. No Chinese wall separates these
sister States. The people of both States live by
each other in peace and quiet. No fears seem
TO be entertained that the people of Iowa will
steal their slaves. But strange infatnation
seems TO have seized them in regard to the peo-
pie OF Kansas; as If the more direct route to
Canada were BY the Rocky Mountains
