CHARACTER SLAVERY.
By the character of Slavery refer not to the
crueties or kindnesses of slave-masters bat only
TO its distinguishing and essential legal features
and, in doing this, shall but briefly allude to u
few of them.
/. Slavery is hereditary. Because one has sue
ceeded in enslaying the parent, therefore he has
the perfect right to enslave his posterity, and
according to the degrading and demoralizing rule
of partus sequitur centrem. Like the OK and the
horse, the owner of the dam owns the increase /;
while in every other hereditary relation the child
follows the condition of the father.
2. Slaves cannot contract legal marriage, and
there can be no such thing the lawful family
relation among them. When they follow the
instincts of religion and affection, rs best they
may, their union is subject entirely to the ire
sponsible will of others. Let him who can meas
ure the influence of sacred domistic ties upon
civilization and character characterize such legal
atheism. 1 can find no fit words
g. Slaves can hold no property. The acquisi-
tive instincts-the greatest of human civilizers-
are denied lawful exercise Says Crenshaw, JUS

again lie says.
"The general sovereignty existing in
the Government of the United States
over its territories is founded on the
Constitution, which declared that Con-
gress should have power to dispose of,
and make all needful rules and regula-
tons respecting, the territory or other
property belonging to the United States"
Again he says, (page 4240
{" 1t would seem, from these various
Congressional regulations of the terrific
ries belonging to the United States, that
Congress have the supreme power in the
government of them, depending on ,the
exercise of their sound discretion"

makes no exception of the subject of Sla-

powers of Congress, against the attacks
upon 1t which have been induced by the
heat of political excitement. 1t is true
that no power ought to be exercised RASH
ly or vindictively-it is true that the Gov
eminent ought not to obey the dictates of
party zeal or animosity-but it would be
suicidal to deny and abandon, through
fear or hope of party triumphs or tempo
rary abuses, powers essential to the prop
er conduct and success of the Govern
ment. Such power is that over the Ter
ritories. We have vast domain lying
open to the occupancy Of men from all
the ends of the earth; and it is essential
that no institutions should be permitted to
grow upon them but such as are in har-
mony with the habits and feelings of our
people, and the nature Of the existing
Governments, State and National. We

on which Mr.. CRosBIE made the foregoing
remarks, occupied the house, in its discus

Editor Pioneer and Demoerdt:-
SRI have noticed with much sorrow
and indignation, the abuse which the execu-
tive Of this territory is receiving from var
ious quarters, but more especially from the
columns of the Puget Sound Courier. In
politics am opposed to Gov. STEVENS. l
have been hearty and honest in my opposi-
ton but when ! see a man devoting soul
and body-sacri6cing ease and comfort
toiling day and night for the good of his
country-I must have heart as cold as
marble, and black as Lucifer's, to engage in
villifying him, simply because his politics
have been cast in different mould. Let
what will be said, Gov. Stevens is the man
for the times, and his untiring zeal and self
devotion, demand the admiration of every
man in the territory.
Since his return from his perilous mission
across the mountains, his labors have been
incessent. Obstacles have been surmounted
and difficulties overcome, which would have
caused mind of less energy and determine
ton to have quailed. While faplt-inders
and abusers Of the governor, have been do
ing nothing for their country-taking their
ease by their comfortable fresides-he has
known no quiet. Through drenching rains
and almost impossible roads, he has gone
from one end of the territory to the other
While his villi6ers have been reposing upon
their bed, Gov Stevens has been prosecu-
ting his journey amid mud and water, or
consuming the midnight lamp in preparing
dispatches and other official duties. am
advised by those well informed, that, du.
ring these troublesome times, the governor
seldom retires before 8 o'clock in the morn,
ing, and often devotes the live-long night
to bis arduous labors. From the best in.
formation / can get, am satisfied that
Gov. Stevens is doing all that It is in the
power of any living man to do for his coun-
try in this great emergency, aud | believe
it to be the duty Of every citizen, instead q
spending their time barking at the govern
or's heels to cooperate with him-the edi
tor Of the PHgei Sound Courier not ex
cepted. do not claim for Gov. Steven,
infallibility-to err is human. All th'
plans which he has devised for the honora
bic and speedy termination Of this war
may not be the wisest and best; but / have
yet to learn that the utility of his plans
as whole, have ever been questioned

without interference from any one, leaving
these matters to the commanding official
and the U. S. troops to settle. And after
Major Rains had become fully satisfied
that his force was entirely inadequate for
the exigency, his troops under Major Hal
Ter having been driven back by a large and
overpowering number of Indians, and all
the tribes began to assume a threatening
aspect. 1t was after all this that Major
Raines very wisely called upon the Gov
ernors of Oregon and Washington Terrific
ries for volunteers.

CoXsorDAuoS OF THE STEAMSHIP Con-
PANIEs.-The arrangement between the
Nicaragua Steamship Company and the
Pacific Mail Steamship Company we IN
derstand to be substantially this The
Nicaragua Company are to sell for fixed
sum all their ships, coal and other material
on the Pacific TO the Steamship Company,
payable part in cash and part at future
dates. The Nicaragua Company will buy
one or two ships for the Atlantic service,
including the George Law from the Mail
Company on this side. The Pacific Com
pany will then run boats weekly to San
Juan aud Panama alternately, and the
Nicaragua Company, in like manner, to
San Juan and Aspinwall. The business oi
the Nicaragua route at San Francisco is
to be transacted by the Pacific. Company
without Charge. This is saving, We un-
derstand, of some $4,000 per annum.
The gross receipts Of both routes for pas
sage and specie are TO be divided-two
thirds to the Pacific Company and one
third to the Nicaragua. Company. The
rates Of passage, we believe, are to be 500
in the. steerage, and $3.50 in the first cabin.
There is also an arrangement In regard to
freight equally advantageous to the Tran
sit Company. All runners are to be done
away with, and stringent economy intro
duced into every department, BY Topping
off all unnecessary expenses. The estimate
Of receipts made on the basis of last years
business between this port and San Fran
cisco, gives the Nicaragua Company over
two and q quarter millions per annum,
which would leave q net dividend fund of
10 to l9 per cent upon par.-M y 1fi6-

New JERSEY LEGIsLArURE.-The legisla-
ture of New Jersey organized on the 10th
inst. The annual message Of Gov. Price is
regarded as an able document. After re-
viewing state affairs, he takes up the slave

cessity of allowing the people interested,
whether in states or territories, to decide
this matter for themselves. He also en-
dorses the position Of President Pierce up

the following facts In reference to the move
meuts of troops, &C., in the direction of
White river:
a-.. PUYALLUP, Feb. 90, 1856.
Mr.. ]. W. WMEY-Lt. Col. Casey ar
rived here to-day, and is encamped near
the ruins of Mr.. Lemons former residence.
The command consists of two companies,
full, and small detachments from one or
two other companies. Capt Keys, of the
Sd artillery, with two mountain howitzers,
also accompanies the command. The whole
command numbers about one hundred men
all told. The volunteers under Maj. Hays
are all well, and in the very best Of spirits.
A fine, substantial block-house, built by
the Pioneer company, is about completed,
located Immediately on the east bank of
the Puyallup, and commands the crossing.
The volunteers are encamped about half
mile in advance of The block-house. A
ferry boat is also nearly completed, capable
of crossing teams, horses and men, during
high stages Of water. A ferry will also be
established at the crossing Of White river.
The volunteers will probably move on to-
morrow or the next day, in the direction Of
the Muckleshoot Prairie, where it is in
tended to establish the main depot Of pro-
visions for the subsistence Of the troops du-
ring the future operations in the interior.
am informed by Col. Casey that about
20 warriors and 80 women and children
came into camp at the lower crossing of
the Puyallup and gave themselves up this
morning, and were furnished with provis-
ions and pass, and started for the reser-
vation. now in charge of Mr.. McCaw.
Capt. Maloney, with company A, 4th in
fantry, and one company Of the 9th regi-
ment, took the lower trail for White river,
and will probably arrive the-s to-day. A
large depot Of provisions will be established
by the regulars at Muckleshoot Prairie.
A large amount Of potatoes have been
found BY the volunteers and regalars near
this encampment, in caches, and you may
be assured they were q real treat to us all.
I will write you again at the first oppor-
tunity.
Previous to the receipt Of the foregoing,
we received a communication giving the
particulars Of the death Of I" Kanascut," &C.,
but being mislaid, we cannot at present give
particulars
On the 4th inst, the force under 1t. Col.
Casey had an engagement with the Indians
the particulars of which will be found be-
low, from our correspondent:
1t. Kautz was engaged in opening the
road to Muckleshoot prairie discovered
Indians-6red upon them, and his fire was
returned by the enemy. It. Kautz sta
toned his men behind drift-wood, and from
this position continued to exchange shots
until the arrival of Capt. Keyes, Sd Artil-
lery, with SO men-sent by Col. Casey to
relieve 1t. Kautz-who then assumed COM
mand. He directed 1t. Kautz to main
tain his position, while be cleared the left
bank of the river of those who were at that
time annoying the Lieutenant-but finding
