TESTIMONY OF CoLORED RACES
The San Jose Tribune, Sacramento In
ION and other papers, are agitating the
question of repeal of the law disquali-
flying colored persons from testifying in
courts of justice. The justice of the
proposition is evident. Every person of
liberalized ideas will be sure to favor
the admission of such testimony into our
courts. Murders are invited Under pres
ent laws when they should be punished.
1t often happens tnat household or col
ony of colored persons live isolated from
the whites. In such cases they are per-
fectly at the mercy of cutthroats who
well know there are no competent wit
nesses at the scene of their depredations
to testify against them. There have
heen some liek-spittle politicians in our
Legislature who for fear of the brand of
aboltionism often bestowed by an igno-
rant, instnsate rabble, have been guilty
of enacting and perpetuating the foul
disgrace upon our statute ttols. But
the time has come when he who announ-
ces himself as opposed to the repeal of
the net only useless but outrageous law
will be suspected by an enlightened peo-
pie as being devoid of shame or engaged
in plundering or numbering those who
are cursed with a skin not like Ills own
ard blessed with a heart not half as
black.

NATIONAL, THANKSGIVING

We heartily second the suggestion con-
tanned in the following article, from the st.
Louis Hltelligeacer.
A real millennium seems to be extending
over the United States. TO the boon of
almost unexampled good crops, enjoyed
from tho Nerthern Lakes to the Southern
Gulf, and from the Atlantic to the prairics
of the knw and the Great Platte, and prom
sng to enrich labor wherever 1t has ap.
piled its sturdy hand to the plough, we are
pcrmitted by IA kind Providence to add the
priceless blessing of general health. Men
are not only furnished with plentiful har-
vests and weii-stored larders; but they are
also blessed with that abundant health which
permits the full enjoyment of the bomtics
Of nature.
Nowhere in tho United States, has there
prevailed, this year. any serious epidemic.
Cholera, yellow fcvers, typhoids, and all the
host Of dosolating diseases that have scat
tered woe in their path during the seasons
past. seem to have been banished, this year
from the land. The weeds of mourning
tina. used to lend their sombrc hue to every
section Of the Union. are now bleached OF
their blackness; and the colors Of emerald
and brown--of the green grass and OF the
ripening sheaves--take their place; and
evoke the jocund pleasures Of flushed and
happy life.
Never have we had such general national
health. Never have we had such uniform
good crops. Never have We had such good
prices Of products. Never have we had
such amount of precious metals in our
countryside basis of all sound commerce.
In fine, never before has the nation seemed
more peaceful, happy, and prosperous. 1t
we'll becomes us to have one general Thanks.
giving Day, Simultaneous throughout the
Union, to acknowledge those accumulated
and manifold blessings. Why should not
President Buchanan appoint this year, by
Day? 1t be would universally acaaiesced in
by the States, we are sure.

Important InseIlig ence from China.

We receive in the letter of our Chinese
correspondent, published in another column,
the rather startling intelligence that the
Government of the United States has deci-
ded to take possession Of the Island of For
moso, as security for the payment by the
Chinese Government of the indemnity de-
manded for damages done to the American
interests during the disturbances at Canton.
While it comes from source likely to be
well informed, we hesitate about giving full
credence to it. 1t seems improbable that
such step should be resorted to without
previous demand for indemnity, followed by
refusal to give it. The seizure Of por-
ton Of Chinese territory can be regarded by
the Chinese in no other light than as an act
Of war: and it is hardly conceivable tIat
our Government should have resolved upon
war, without preliminary effort to obtain
satisfaction by other means. The Island of
Formosa lies about ninety miles off the
southeast coast of China, embraces an area
of about $4,000 square miles. and contains
over two millions of Chinese inhabitants,
besides an unknown number of natives. who
inhabit principally the eastern portion of
the Island. The Chinese who live on the
Island are generally of bad character, as
Formosa has for long time been used as a
sort Of penal colony for the Chinese Empire;
the natives are half civilized and cruel. The
country is well watered and fertile, and pro-
duces great quantities of cotton, rice, sugar,
with wheat, maize, and various tropical
fruits.-M Y. Times.

1t should be standing rule among the
people of the East to discredit nine stories
out Of ten, respecting the incursions and
massacres of the Indians committed upon
the settlers and citizens of the west. Our
private letters show that most erroneous
opinions are entertained upon the subject.
People who never saw an Indian and only
form their notions of their conditions in the
west, from the accounts which the war Of
the revolution supplied, together with the
cruelties practised upon the old trappers,
imagine that they are the same people now,
and therefore, that their relatives in Glen
wood, or in other towns of Iowa, are con-
tinually liable to destruction. II they could
only see the harmless creatures enter our
town, and the eagerness with which the In
dams generally and especially the Squaws
cultivate the good will of the people, they
would discover that there is no more danger
to be apprehended from an Indian here,
than in the city of New York Glen,cood

Emigration to Virginia.


The Richmond Enquirer publishes IN au-
thorized denial of II current rumor, that
Gov. Wise favors the plan Of the s.IIome-
stead Aid Sucicty,"-to purchase large
tracts Of land, and settle free laborers upon
them. 1t is confident that she repro-
bates the formation Of organized societies,
whose object is Immediately to interfere
with, or to weaken or destroy our slave in
stitutious." But it proceeds to say:
''lf migrants come into this State, with
lawful interest, to settle our waste places,
to increase our population, and to develope
our resources, he would welcome them with
all his heart. Every lover Of the State must
desire to see her population increased, and
when honest, Woodworking, energetic labor
ers appear among us, they will be warmly
greeted and cheered. Let the AGRICULTURAL
list, the mechanic, the manufacturer, with or
without a capital, come, with a dctermina-
ton to stand by our institutions, sustain
our laws and also share our fortunes for
veal or woe, and the Governor and every
citizen will cherish and sustain them"
This is sensible. Ii the officials, the press
and the people Of Virginia will act steadily
and practically upon this principle for TWEEN
ty-HVe years. TIC Oiu DoHluioH VIII NJ

raj responsibility and strength, but will re-.
sumo its proper position rs prosperous,
powerful and advancing State.
But its people must not permit politicians
to delude them any longer with the bug bear
OF Abolition. If the introduction of free
labor should weaken Slavery, and finally
supplant it, this can only be because it Is
more profitable. And what is there in the
institution Of Slavery which should render it
desirable to perpetuate it at heavy loss? If
the people Of Virginia will refuse to DO
hood winked and humbuggcd by their own
political leaders, take their affairs into their
own hands, cease blindly to worship the in
stitution OF negroes, develope their material
resources, invite, encourage and secure 1
steady stream Of immigration into their
State, add constantly to the labor which il
the strength of every State they will soon
cease to care anything about Slavery, and
become perfectly contented to let it take care
Of itself. The sooner they set about ii the
better.--N. Y. Times.
