Two European steamers arrived at New

The difficulty between England and Persia
was in process Of settlement. Fears are
entertained at Madrid OF another insurrec'
ton. England is considerably troubled by
2 rumored treaty between Persia and Russia
by which. the former cedes territory to the
latter in consideration OF military aid from
Russia. Spain has organized an expedition
of so transports and IL, 600 men to sail for
Mexico to punish that power for recent al
treatment of subjects Of Spain in aiexco.
From China the latest reports are, that Adj
miral Seymour had burnt the greater part
of the suburbs of Canton; that all Europe
ans that hav. fallen into the hands OF the
Chinese have been treacherously murdered,
and that the Chinese government seemed no
more disposed to yield to British demands
than at the commencement Of the present
difficulties. Market reports show wheat,
dull, flour unsuitable, and Indian corn quiet.

JUICE McLEAS's OPINION IN TIE DRIED
ScoTr CAsE.-In the United States Supreme
Court, March 9TH, Justice Mclean delivered
his views, arguing that slavery is limited to
the range of States where established by
mere municipal law. If Congress deem
slaves or free colored persons injurious to
the Territory they have the power to pro-
hibit them from becoming settlers therein.
The power to acquire territory brings with
it the power to govern it.
The master does not carry with him to
the Territory the law of the State from
which he removes. Hence the Missouri
Compromise is constitutional, and the pre-
sumption is in favor Of the freedom of bred
Scott and his family, who were free under
decisions for the last twenty eight years.

MISsgsorA.-The bill to enable Minnesota

MINSEsorA-The bill to enable Minnesota
to form State Government defines the
boundaries Of the proposed State. On the
West are the Big Sioux and the Red Rivers,
which divide the present Territory INTO two
nearly equal parts. It is stated that the
new State will contain nearly seventy thou
sand square miles, leaving on the Western
side of the boundary line some ninety thou
sand square miles, which is to constitute
the Territory Of Dacotah. The bill passed
provides that the people shall meet in con-
yention at the Territorial Capital on the
second Monday Of July next, to form
State Constitution it also provides that
census shall be taken in order to ascertain
the number of Representatives to which the
new State shall be entitled also that the
new State Shall be cutiiled to one representa-
tive on ADM ssion into the Union, and such
other representatives as the population Of
the State shall, according 10 the census
SHOW it would be entitled to, according to
the present ratio Of representation. Gov.
German, in his last annual message says,
from sources deemed reliable, ain able
10 state the population of the Territory at
about l5o, 200 souls" " The taxable proper
" in the Territory amounts to between
50 and 80 millions of dollars" even should
the most speedy organization be made, the
population of our territory must run up 10
25v, 900, Inhabitants, and our taxable proper
ty reach fifty OF sixty millions Of dollars, at
least, before Congress will admit US into the
Union."-lt will be seen, therefore, that
Minnesota will be considerable State from
the very day Of hcr admission into the
Cuion.

The ArronTIoEMEST BuL.-Thc Spring
field Journal, in opposition to the claim of
democratic papers generally that Gov Bis
sells veto of the npportionment bill, after
he had signed it, amounted to nothing, re-
marks:
Admitting the private Secretary of the
Governor did announce to the House, thro'
inadvertance, that Gov. Bissell had approved
Of the apportionment bill, that announce.
ment does not, of itself, amount to any,
thing. THERE'S no law which requires the
Governors approval to be announced or en-
tered upon the journal; and no advantage
can be taken of a mistaken message through
clerk when it was known and understood
that on broad constitutional grounds, the
Ill would be vetoed"
The Journal argues on the assumption
that Gov. Il. did not sign the bill, but that
his secretary had merely made the an
nouneement enormously to the house. If
this is true, We freely admit it changes the
whole aspect Of the case. But is not the
Journal in error, and if in error can spcb
an error on its part be uninten,ional,

The alormons-.-New View Of the Case

The Mormons...New View Of the Case
A friend now in Europe, says the Erenang
Post, whose attention has been drawn to the
problem of the Mormons and their relations
to the Government of the United States,
has arrived at the following results:
Ist We have no need to trouble ourselves
about the religion or the marriage customs
Of the Mormoas, because we have no right
to do SD, these not being political clements.
2d Nature provides by birth oDe female
to one males tine proportion is about sixteen
women to seventeen men, and the ratio OF
premature deaths among males in similar
excess; it is therefore impossible Tor one
man to have several wives without deprivIng
several other men OF vile.
Sd. No such sexual monopoly on one hand
aud prvation on the other was ever assented
10 or existed where there was freedom Tor
the people and equality Of condition for the
support of families.
4,h. No man will be content without a
wife, if free to take one, and no woman will
prefer to be one Of the plurality OF wives,
rather than to be wife of one man, if pru-
dcnce Of choice is Lift her.
9th. Polyeamy is not the traditional Gus
tom Of the Teut0nic or Celtic races, and is
not likely under any circumstances TO be
come so.
9Th. If these arc general truths, it follows
that as soon as wo give the Mormons Tree
dom from tue rule OF priests, elective insti-
tutiOns and the ballot, polygamy must iall ;
every man will in effect vote himself wife /;
the desires of the men and Of the women,
and the provisions of nature as to the num-
Der Of the sexes, all conspire to the enc end,
to wit-monogamy. This alone will remain,
respectable, poygany Nil! be diSsrace!ul,
and its advocates deprived vi oticc, Of place
and of influence.
Polygamy only exists anon people where
7 there is great inequality Of condition IS TO
property, ond where all political power is
held by hereditary fcw-where caste pre-
vaiis-and the ruling classes arc aboEe pub
lie opinion and law.
Mcnogamy is not the offspring Of the old
religion nor the new religion; it is the re-
( suit Of circumstances, and was practised by
the Teutonic and other European races
from the tirst--certain!y thousand years
lctore the Christian era, and has never
shown any signs of permanent change; ii
undoubtedly had lis origin IN nature, and
in tic division, isolation, general equality OF
condition and tendency 10 personal freedom
which was always strong III these races, all
in pursuance Of which circumstances polyga-
my cannot be sustained.
\ man may feel that he has as good right
10 take two wives, or twenty wives, with
their consent, as TO take one, and 1t might
be difficult 10 prove to him logically that be
Was III error, but circumstances VIZ! ineY.t1-
bly, get Linn right practically on tina, SUD
ject; only give the circumstances free scope
. IN the manner suggested.
