what The Democracy Of Con-
necticut Have Done.

Wecopy the following from the N
Haven Register, Of a late date:
"We have elected Samuel Arnold
to Congress from this district by ABOUT
500 majority, being gain Of 1900
since the presidential election
ave have elected William D. Bish.
OPP to Congress over o. S. Perry, in a
district which gave $500 against
Buchanan in November
"We have come within a few hun
dred votes ~ofelecting our whole State
ticket, making a gain of 10000 votes
since November
"ls'NT THIS GLORIOUS ENoUGH2-
The loss of these two Congressman
will raise a howl from the Black Re.
publican ranks throughout the coun-
try. They would willingly have Civ
en- us governor, Legislature, everything
else, if they could have saved them-
selves the qualification of having a
united delegation OF blacks in Con-
gress from New England. But the
chain is broken. Two sterling men
of our faith-'pro-slavery Buchan.
iers,' our opponents call them-will be
on the floor of the next Congress- to
maintain the honor of New : Egland
and the devotion other people TO the
Union. We are proud ofthe fact that
Connecticut has sent them there.
ut was almost too much to expect
that we should elect our honored can
djGate for governor, with the the 10,
500 votes against US in November
But the vote we give him is a noble
one--and it must be particularly graf
to Mr.. Ingham. In nearly ev-
cry town he runs ahead of his ticket;
in none does he fall behind. The re-
suit is a strong tribute to his worth,
and shows the strength of his hold up
on the Democracy otthe State.
"The Legislature we lose by a
small majority, and we can almost say
we lose it needlessly. Itseems to US
that the 'cave in in Tolland county,
ought to have been avoided; and why
the 'East.side' should remain such an
Egypt we can't tell. We loose sew
oral senatorial districts by a very small
vote. However, this is the fortune of
every election. We hGve done aOeU
,nough"

Mexico.

The long reign of anarchy and ter.
TOR in the Mexican Republic. it is
hoped, has been brought to q final
close. A new Constitution, modelled
in a measure after that of our own
government, has been adopted, and
will take effect in September next.
It is Federal Republican in form
all power residing with the people.
The Legislative branch consists of one
General Assembly, which holds semi.
annual sessions, and the members Of
which are elected every two years by
the free suffrages ofthe people. The
Executive is vested in a single indi-
yidual styled the "The President of
the United States of Mexico" who
holds his Office for four years. No
ecclesiastic can become President
The judiciary is composed ofvarious
District and Circuit Courts, not dis
similar to our own. and one Supreme
Court Of final appeal. The relation
between the General Government and
the several States is about the
same as that sustained in this coun-
try. If this Constitution cannot stand,
then there is little hope for either
peace or liberty in Mexico. Her
treasury is now empty, her debts are
large, her credit limited, and her rela-
tions with Spain in a critical condi-
ton. Should she get through the
present difficulties safely, that bet
tor time" may be near at hand, tho
her past history and the general char
acter of her people do not warrant
very sanguine hopes on the part of
her well Wishers.

X. J. walkers Opinion in Re-
gard 10 Slavery i'm Kansas.

The following is an extract of a let
ter written by Hon. r. ]. Walker,
in September, 1856. In view of the
fact that Mr.. Walker has recently
been appointed Governor Of Kansas,
this extract will be perused with in
terest:
There is another reason not hereto
fore adverted to, which seems to rem
der it impracticable long to maintain
slavery in Kansas. In all the slave
States there is a large majority OF vo-
tiers who are non. slaveholders, but
they are devoted to the institutions CT
the South; they would defend them
with their lives; and on this question
the South are a united people. This
class, composed Of many small far
mers, of merchants, mechanics, over
seers and other industrial classes, con-
stitute mainly the parole OF the South,
and cheertully unite in carrying out
those laws essential to preserve the
institution. Against a powerful mi.
nority and constant agitation, slavery
cannot long exist in any State. 1t is
a we'll known fact this result would
have followed soon in several of the
slave States, but for the unanimity
speedily procured these by the Adolf
ton agitators and intermeclers Of the
North. Now, Kansas is much divi.
ded on the question of slavery,
there is a powerful minority there il
not a majority-a party not neutral
but bitterly hostile to the institution.
And for this, in addition to the rea-
sons before given, | do not believe
Kansas will become a slave State.

1t has been the good pleasure of the
the Black Republican journals to
represent Chief Justice fancy as a
large STAKEHOLDER and a man Of ultra
southern views. In allusion to this
fact the Cincinnati Enquirer has the
following:
Let the decision speak for itself;
but Mr.. fancy, personally, is opposed
to slavery, in principal and practice
Forty years ago, although never veal.
thy, he freed every negro in his pos.
ession, and has paid servants wages
ever since. They we're all valuable
and one, his body servant, has beer
the head waiter ofthe largest hotel il
Baltimore for many years.
Judge fancy has always been thu
truest friend of the black mar, and i
is related by a contemporary that the
most eloquent speech he ever made
was at the Frederick county Bar, il
defense of a little negro girl, in which
he thrilled his auditors by exalting the
happy constitution of oar courts and
the justice of the laws in allowing the
business of the circuit to be stopped
in order to give that poor little negro
her rights and her lawful protection.
And although the little creature had
most likely committed crime, Mr..
Taney's eloquent appeal rescued her
from the vengeance Of the law. Thus
have all his acts, public and private,
been characterized by justice and gen.
erosity,

The results of the late trial Of the
Rev. Mr.. Kalloch, at Boston, present
some of the sublimest features of cool
and daring impotence and pitiful de-
fusion that we have read or heard OF
since the wonderful times of old Cot.
ton Mather. Here we have three or
four credible witnesses testifying d.
rectly to the criminal proceedings
which they witnessed between this
reverend shepherd and one of the pet
lambs OF his fold; and yet he finds a
jury to whitewash him, and a faithful
flock to rush to his rescue and resolve
that he is as innocent as a child, and
as clean in his high office as the
Apostle Paul.

Kalloch be at the Great Salt Lake!-

learned man, a young man, a bold
