Debates, %. 95.
From the adoption of the Constitution to
the present day, it is believed there has been
no instance in the State in which the right to
vote has been denied to any person resident
within the State, on account of his color.
In view Of these facts and considerations, we
are of the opinion that our Constitution does
not discriminate between the different races of
people which constitute the inhabitants of our
State; but that the term citizens of the Uni
ted States, as used in that instrument, applies
as well to free colored persons of African de-
scent as to persons descended from white an
cestors. Our answer, therefore, is, that
Free colored male persons of African de-
scent, OF the age of twenty-one years and up
wards, having a residence established in some
town or plantation in this State, three months
| next preceding any election, and who are not
paupers, aliens, nor persons under guardian
ship, are authorized, under the provisions of the
Constitution of this State, to be electors for
Governor, Senators, and Representatives.

1t seems that Mr.. Stanly, of California, at
first refused the nomination by the Republicans
for Governor, when it was offered him verbally,
but they were determined he should stand. A
California correspondent of the Tribune says:
"Stanly's nomination is hailed by all outside
of the Democratic party proper with great sat-
isfaction. Night before last, he made q speech
in Musical Hall. A larger audience was never
congregated in San Francisco to hear a man
speak. The house was literally TANNED with
men, women, and children, while thousands
came to the door too late to get in, and went
away dissatisfied. For two hours Stanly spoke,
frequently interrupted by prolonged bursts of
applause, never suffering, during the whole
time, the attention of the audience to flag Yes
terday he went to Sacramento, and will speak
there tonight; from thence he will 20 to Ma.
rysville, and thence among the mining towns
and villages. Before he left, I placed in his
hands copy of The Impending Crisis of the
South; How to Meet It, by Hinton R. Helper,
of North Carolina-a book that will confirm
him in his Republicanisrn, and lend him weap
ons wherewith to fight in the good cause. He
will use it as text book, a code mecum of Re.
publicanism, as he stumps it throughout the
State. And here, by the way, would remark,
with regard to this most timely and extraordi.
nary publication, that do not believe there ia
more valuable work of the kind in anv Ian
guage. Dark and muddy must be the intellect
of that man who can carefully read the Crisis
and not arise Republican,"

We copy the following from the Baltimore
San:
Governor Walker, in his official dispatches
recently received, says that in one point he has
been grossly misrepresented, namely: as de.
string that every man should vote, who hap.
pened to be in the Territory on the day of the
election, for the ratification of the Constitution.
This, he remarks, would be desirable, if there
we're CONCLUSIVE evidence that all such persons
were actual bona Jfde settlers; but the only
sufficient and usual proof of such fact would
be some previous residence. On this point,
which is one of detail, he had never proposed
to make suggestions to the Convention, al
though, when asked his opinion by the mem
bers of that body, he had indicated a previous
residence of three or elk months, and that the
same qualifications should be adopted in the
Constitution in regard not only to that but to
all future elections; and, in his judgment, one
or other of these terms of residence will be
adopted by the Convention, from which he an.
tcipates cordial cooperation. 1t is somewhat
extraordinary he adds, that while this accu.
sation of letting every man vote who may hap.
pen to be in the Territory on the day Of elec->
ton has been preferred in the South as indica
ting desire on my part to let in the Abolition
Migrants and interlopers to control the result,
the Republicans of Kansas have drawn an en-.
tirely different conclusion, viz; that design.
ed in this manner to bring many thousand Mis-.
sourians into the Territory, to decide the con-
test"

The CENTRAL AMERICAN TREATY.-Lord
Palmerston has been making an exposition, in
Parliament, of the motives of the British gov
ernmGnt IN rejecting the Central American
treaty. He throws the Onus entirely on the
alterations made by the United States Senate,
and particularly upon the amendment which
ignores the convention between Honduras and
Great Britain, for the ceSsion of the Bay Isl.
ands, requiring the cession to be made uncondi-
tIonal. He says counter proposition has been
made TO this government, and that the matter
is still under negotiation. 1t will be recollect-
ed that Washington reports have confidently
stated that the administration has refused TO re-
open negotiations.

The Doom OF Our WORLD.-What this
change is to be we dare not even conjecture
but we see in the heavens themselves some
traces of destructive elemepts, and some indi.
cations of their power. The fragments of bro
ken planets-the descent of meleoric stones
upon our globe-the wheeling comets welding
their loose materials at the solar furnace-the
volcanic eruptions of our own sate!ite-the a 0.
pearance OF new stars and the disappearance o
of others-are all foreshadows of that impend
ing cenvulsOn to which the system OF the world
is dooI>ed. Thus placed ON a planet which il

The SLAvE-TRADE, CooLIEs, &C,-The high
price of sugar,-the poverty stricken condition
OF Jamaica, aud other British colonies,-tho
dim prospects of the future as to labor in the
Tropics, &C., has been leading, it would seem,
the London Times into some rather extraordi-
nary remarks upon the Slave and Coolie Trade,
and the Treaty with Brazil, Great Britain has,
10 suppress the slave trade,-in consequence Of
which, she passed the act of l545, enabling her
cruisers TO stop and search Brazilian vessels eff
the Brazil coast. These remarks of the British
press we call extraordinary, because they indi-
cate change of policy upon the part of a lead
ing organ OF the British public, and DISPOSE
ton to take the back-track upon the slave-trade,
and to encourage the Coolie trade.
What most strikes US upon reading these ar
tcles IN the Times, is the quasi confession OF
The British organ, that the British West India
Abolition policy has been failure, and that, as
IN the tropics, only under forced labor tropical
productions can be raised, new system of Afri.
can labor must be projected, or the Coole trade
must be invigOrated or started atresh. The
suOterrdneGn logic of the artcles,-so to speak,
lis III favor of the restoration of forced labor
from Africa or Asia,-where labor is abunda nt
to make up for the abolition of slavery ia the
British and French isands,-and the abolition
OF the slaVe-trade in Brazl,--forced, we say
for the system of apprenticing ignorant ant
stupid Africans, or the scarcely less ignoran
Coolies of Asia,-is but slavery,-temeorar,
slavery though it may be,-in another form
and under another name.
The contrast which almost contiguous States
such as Jamaica and EIayti (free) present OF
one side, and Cuba and Louisiana (slave) on the
other,-with the now enormous price of cottor
"a necessary now of British exstence) and til,
high price of labor in the tropics, in conse
quence of the difficulty of getting laborers, are
all evidently stirring up new and fresh foun
tain ut thought in the British mind.-N. YorI
Express.

a View of the Country.

A long railroad ride Of about 2600 miles
within the last ten days past, says the editor Of
the New York Express, enables US to guess at
the prospects of the crops, especially in the
Western States The whole country, every
where there, seems to be in its richest green,
and the grass crops promise to be more abun-
dant than ever. The fields, the woods, never
seemed more beautiful or bountful,-bu never
theless, the season is backward, aud from three
to four weeks backward too. The wheat in
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois seems TO have suffer-
ed from the hard winter, and there has not been
sun enough upon it to decide the character OF
the crop. Wheat, however, in the spring and
early summer, loves cool air and moist sky,
and if the hot sun now pours down its rays
upon it,-as is promising,-what has been lost
by the severity of the winter may soon be re,
gained.
The high price of grain, and of food of all
sorts, have very apparently induced the farmer
to make all available outlays for his crops
More fields are doubtless put under cultivation
than were ever put under the plough before
The planter is exerting all his faculties to seed
and sow as much as possible, in order TO be in
for the tempting prices that now stimulate him
90 work. Hence, even if the crops should be
short, it is believed the greater breadth of seed
ing and planting would make up whatever de-
fciency there may be, if any.
The exceeding beauty of the whole country,
Just now, its rich, teeming, velyeIy yerdure, un-
der the restraining influence of the backward
spring, and the rains. is beyond all power OF de-
scription. The green prairies of Illinois. on
which large herds Of cattle are frisking apd
faitening, are to the eye, just now, gardens OF
Eden-Paradiscs even. AS the railroad trav-
eler flies through the woods of Indiana, and as
his eye first lights upon the Prairies of Illinois,
he fances he has fitted, all of sudden, from
the forests of " Young America" to the vener.
able, antiquated, and hoary fields Of Austrian
Gallicia, or Rhenish Germany, or French Nor.
mandy. The new world of Ohio and Indiana
is replaced in a few hours only by the old-look-
ing world of Illinois. These Praires, now in
all their green, knde aud inflame the imagi-
nation,-and, at first, make man wonder how
he can be content to live elsewhere than in
these Prairies,-but nature wearies at last
even by it's own beautiful mono tony. Broad
expanse in rest, and in silence, does not satisfy
mans craving appetite for action.
We dwell upon this neversurpassed verdure
Of the country just now, in order TO convey the
ilea that one great crop. that of hay. is now
about secure,--and that, apart from the dam
ages of the winter, the moisture which has
given this promise of hay crop, promises well,
exceedingly well, for the heat The crops
being the lite of our railroads, and our ships
too,-in the absence of which tending East
ward their great interests are now suffering,
cyen 2Go0 miles guess Of railroad traveller
may be worth the having.
