Editors in Trouble.

These latter days seem to be prolific Of
editorial rencounters. Elsewhere in this
paper, will be found an account of an edi-
torial fracas at Louisville, KY. On the
morning of the 4th of August, JAMES NJ.
BRowN, of the Oskaloosa Herald, killed
man in self-defence. The cause of the d.
ficulty, was some very severe structures upon
drinking saloon in that place. On the Sd
day of August, fight between two editors
occurred at Camden, N. j., in which one Of
the parties was dangerously wounded. The
fraternity is evidently getting pugnacious.
We have serious intentions of procuring a
a ga pop gun" So look out.

An administration paper in Michigan, in
the exuberence of its everlasting mental,
moral and political insanity, INDUCES in
the following laudatory blathersna of
the s'powers that be-"
eve have an Administration at Washington and a
Territorial Government in Kansas ,corthy Of the
best days Of the Republic"
That's rather mixed! Such logic belongs
to the s'free and casy' .slittle joker" sort.
That editor is manifestly experimenting up
on the best method of turning such perfect
fools as himself into political philosophers.
For him, the road to that particular kind of
seems to be straight and easy.

Mime so,a Con..i.a,isnal C.nven,,on.


The Democrats seem to be badly disap-
pointed at the turn things have taken in
Minnesota. After all the favors that have
been heapcd upon that Territory, by the
PIERCE and BUCHANAN Administration-af-
ter these marks of paternal affectfon-Min-
nesota choosing to become Republican
State, is considered by the Democracy of
that section, to be specimen of outrageous
ingratitude, and 'sdouble-dyed treason."-
With Indignation, they have thrown aside
kindness, and are now laboring to coerce
her into adopting the so-called Democratic
doctrine as her political creed. The num-
Der of delegates elected to the Constitution
al Convention, were ffty-six Republicans
and about 80 Democrats. When the latter
found themselves unable to govern the con-
vention, they adjourned and formed con-
vention of their own. This is the same
policy that was pursued by the Democrats
in this State two years ago, when the mi
nority of the Legislature undertook to de-
feat the election of United States Sena-
tor. Thus ii is with this party everywhere.
If they cannot rule by fair means, they will
endeavor to accomplish the same ends by
foul. The St. Paul Times, of a late date,
says that the ''Democratic delegates meet
every day in the Council Chamber, in what
they call ssConvcntion.' Thus they have
done for two weeks, parleying, fustioning
and adjourning from day to day. Some Of
the self-styled members have yet to be
sworn in. No permanent organization has
vet been effected. They have not called the
roll, for there is no roll to call. Forty
three members were all they could muster,
until they procured several half-breeds and
other interlopers-thesc latter without GER
tifcates, Of course, and unable to obtain
them, unless they forge them.
With this addition to their number, they
vet have not quorum. Pcrceiving this di-
lcmma, the Times says that Judge Serburne
in the presence of three or.four other Judg-
es, an ex- Governor, and lawyers innumera-
BILE, stated that they it was not necessary to
have quorum; that they could proceed to
business, and draft constitution without a
majority? This is bran-ncw law, and we
hope the people of Minnesota and law-mak-
crs abroad will make note of it.
Thus stands the two bodies. The Con-
vention has moved straight on, lcgitimatcly
and determinedly, yet with caution, and the
new Constitution begins to assume tangi-
bic shape under their prudent moulding
The Democratic meeting is not whit fur
ther advanced than it was two weeks ago
except forging half dozen extra certificate
and is not organised!

Missouri.

From q letter from one Missourian to
another, communicated to the Boston Tray
eller, we extract the following paragraph:
sit is idle to think Missouri will continue
a slave State. 1t is impossible. Destiny
the irresistible thread of opposing inhu-
ences, in unmistakable lettering has alrea-
DIV declared otherwise. Kansas is virtually
free now. e-fourths of our borders
are already pressed by the flooding emigra-
ton from free States. If some of it has
passed our boundary into Kansas and Ne
braska, checked by the inferiority of soil,
timber, climate and government, it is turn
ing back upon us, like suddenly impeded
flood. Under these girding influences, sla-
very in Missouri must perish. 1t is destiny,
and above, far above, partizan control. In
this way it will gradually disappear, with
out any violent disruption of the relation of
master and slave, and in this way it ought
to be allowed to disappear without in the
least impeding the gradual and steady iniu-
ences now brightning the institution, and
driving it over the border.
s'Though born and bred in slave State,
and STAKEHOLDER myself, l do not regret
the gradual process Of emancipation going
on around me. 1t is for my interest, and
the common interest of the State. 1t will
break down the opposition in the Northern
States to the great central railroad to the
Pacific, through Missouri. 1t will no longer
be considered as running through a slave
State, and will be taken out of the boiling
cauldron of slavery politics. 1t will no long
er be presented as sectional, but as GEN.
trail, national railroad. The northern States
are majority, and. if we treat them right, the
road is ours, for it will also be the nations
road over the continent.
''Sectionalism can alone kill it; the peo-
pie of Missouri can kill sectionalism, at
least among themselves. Let US do it; and
let Missouri take not the position assigned
her by politicians-the outpost, the battle
ground of slavery-but the proud position
God has designed-the heart of the nation,
fed by the great waters of the Mississippi,
and a continental railroad"

Southern Spectators In Northern Lands

The New Orleans Delta is knocking
Toombs, Orr, Breckenridge &c Co., over
the knuckles, because Of their speculative
operations in Northern lands. 1t concludes
an article on this subject with an argument
in favor of the reopening of the slave trade.
We make the following extract:
The cause Of the development of the Free
States can be soon told. Europe has furn-
ished that section with an abundance of cheap
labor. The tide of immigration, which roll
led from the shores of the Old World and
overlooked the Northern Cities and States
on the Atlantic, naturally enough flowed
westward. There was sample room and
verge enoughp' Lands were cheap-labor
was cheap and abundant, and Federal fav ors
showered upon the Free States without stint.
On the other hand, labor in the South has
not been diffused, but concentrated. The
supply Of our great staples and the develop
ment of the country depended solely upon
the natural increase of the slave population.
Suppose the African slave trade had years
ago been re-opened. Labor would then
have been as cheap and abundant as in the
Free States, and, with more genial climate
and soil of inexhaustible fertility, the whole
South would have now been in state of
unexamled prosperity. 1t was long ago the
duty Of Southern statesmen to have advoca-
ted and insisted upon the adoption of some
measure which would have supplied all de-
fciencies of kind.
The facts disclosed in the Statement Of the
Herald and the Times should wake up the
South. 1t is time that the Breckenridges,
the Orrs, the Slidels, the Woodwards, the
Aikens, and the Toombs, who thus, by their
pernicious example render futile the efforts
of better man to protect and build up the
South-who refuse to lend the aid of their
political and personal influence towards fur
nishing supply of labor which is essential
to our prosperity, but on the contrary, by
acts like these lead the North to believe that
they have no confidence in slavery and its
power to develop and enrich the section in
which they live-itis time, We say, that the
people should discard such leaders and call
to their assistance more reliable men. Let
them look to it in time.

1t is as yet uncertain, who is elected dele
gate to Congress from this Territory. The
contest lies between CHAPMAN and FERGu-
son. We believe that from the Counties
heard from, FERGusoS is about 200 ahead,
but it is thought that in the counties to hear
from, CmArxAN will &c. almost the entire
vote, or at least enough to elect him. Be
this as it may, We are certain that Chaplain
win ret the certificate, if the vote Of certain
counties hare to be thrown out-ride the
last canvass, two years ago.

slavery In Oregon.

A gentleman in Oregon writes to the New
Orleans Delta as follows: ...
"Oreson will be the next slave State,
was in the whole political campaign, and
nothing but slavery seems to be the co.
Mark nv word, her constitution will be
adopted with the slave clause. It is one
sided question. The inhabitants are all
Missourians or Kcntuckians, and 60 their
death on the cd sle."
To which the Dayton Empire takes ex-
ceptions, and says, s'the African race can
not prosper in latitute so high as Oregon;
hence slavery is just about a, likely to be-
come fixture there as on the gudgeon of the
North Pole, and no MORE"

California,
California.
The Alta Californian Of the 4th of Jul,

The Alta Californian of the 4th of July,
says:
Our markets are beautifully supplied
with meats, vegetables and fruits of every
kind-watermelons, cantelopes, fresh figs,
plums, cherries, strawberries, raspberries,
bananas, mangoes, &C., in abundance.
Mining is carried on as successfully as
ever, and new discoveries are constantly
being chronicled.. Attention of capitalists
is still being directed to the quartz enter
prises, and veins long since abandoned for
want of money to explore them are being
worked to advantage.
The season of harvest is now at hand, and
already grain, barley and oats have made
their appearance in the market. From ap-
pearance and the complexion of the daily
receipts the yield this year, within the vicin-
ity Of San Francisco, is abundant. Very
little wheat has come to hand yet, and no
competition for some time yet can interfere
with the trade in breadstuffs. The feeling
in the money market, this steamer, is deci-
dedly easier, and capital, it is stated, went
begging on the streets to-day; and it would
almost seem that the commissions in mcrcan-
tile matters which took place within the
fortnight, have left behind them traces of a
satisfactory nature, in that people believe
that the worst is over.
Politics have been all the engrossing
theme of conversation during the two weeks
which have elapsed since the departure Of
the last mail steamer. The election Of del
cgates to the Democratic State Convention
has already taken place in most Of the lar
ger counties, and at no previous period in
the history of the State has there been wit
messed so much excitement at primary meet
ings of the Democracy. The struggle was
between the administration and Broderick
wings of the Democracy, John B. Weller
being the Gubernatorial candidate of the
former, and McCorkle of the latter. The
Weller delegates are greatly in the ma ori-
ty, and there is now no doubt that he will
60 into the State Convention with numer-
zeal force sufficient to give him the nomina-
ton on the first ballot.
The Republicans held their Convention at
the Capitol on the 9Th, and it is expected
that full delegations will be present.

CT The instructions to Gov. Cumming,
of Utah, have been completed. They are
brief and specific. He is to see that the
laws of the United States are faithfully ex-
ecuted. No man in Utah Is to be affected
for his political or religious opinions, but
held responsible for his conduct. Should
the civil authorities be unable to enforce
the laws, the military force is then to be
supplied. While Gov. CTS powers are am
pie for all practical purposes, much is con-
ided to his discretion.

O. The most remarkable dogma in the
Jewish creed is undoubtedly the belief of
the coming and redeen,ing Messiah. This
belief, whether derived from the early proph-
ecy Of Moses, or from any other source, is
most firmly fixed in the jewish mind, and
has been infexibly adhered to through all
the fortunes of the race. 1t still makes the
hope and the consolation Of the descendants
of Abraham, and it is remarkable that a
similar belief was entertained BY the Per-
slams. The Jewish doctrine Of the creation
and Of The fall Of man, by the instrumental
ity Of an evil spirit, also correspondents
with the Persian doctrine.
