An Indian Slave State.

The Memphis Enquirer, of July 9th joy
fully halls a proposition of Mr.. Folsom, a
prominent man among the Choctaw Indians,
to erect the Indian territory west of Arkan-
sas, between the Red and the Arkansas riy-
ers, and extending westward to the one
hundredth degree of west longitude, into a
new Slave State. Utah is to come in with
polygamy and other rascalities as one Slave
State; then this new State of Aboriginal
Patriarehs, with all the gross vices. drunk
enness and filth of those Indian tribes on
the frontiers of Arkansas; and then DR..
Ross, and his fellow Pro-slavery descend
ants of white fathers and slave mothers,
might organize negro Slave State-all for
the benefit of the institution. Anything to
hold up the tottering fabric of oppression.
The Indian savage owes undying hatred to
the Slave Power, for its wrongs to his race,
in Florida, Georgia, de-; but he is easily
persuaded to like slaveholding, since it graf
ifes his laziness, and enables him to drink
whisky, gorge his stomach, and sleep, by
turns, This favorite mode of life, without
the trouble of either hunting or laboring
for his own subsistence

Chas. Sumner in London.

BAYARD TAYLOR, writing to the Tribune
from London, has the following in reference
to Charles Sumner:
Mr.. Sumner is here, at Maurigy's Hotel,
in Regent street. have not yet seen him,
but some friends tell me he is looking WELL
No American has ever been more popular
in England than Mr.. Sumner, and he is at
present floating on the top wave of London
society. / heard the other day good story
of his arrival here. He entered his name
upon the book as simply '.Mn Sumner,
Boston," and was accordingly set down by
the host and his fiunkies as an ordinary traY-
eler. The next morning one of the latter
came to Mr.. Summers room In some ex-
element, and said: Lord Brougham is
down stairs, sir, asking for you" To the
walters amazement, Mr.. s. quietly said,
without exhibiting the least surprise: VERY
well; show him up" Not long afterward
the former came, still more excited: ''Sir,
the Lord Chief Justice has called, and he
asks for yoaf'' s'Show him up," was again
the cool reply. After his Lordship had de-
parted the waiter came once more, bewilder-
ed and little aggravated: .'Sir, sir, the
Lord Chancellor Of England has called to
see you!'' 'sShow him up" repeated Mr.
s. These astonishishing facts were no
doubt at once communicated to the land
lord, for the next days Aorning Post an
nounced the arrival of s'His Excellency the
Honorable Mr.. Sumner at Maurigy's Hotel.
