A candidate for Congress, out West, sums up his
"edication" as follows:

KENTUCKY ToBAcco.-The Louisville Journal, in
referring to some troubles with the tobacco inspec'
rors OF that city, states that the tobacco crop for
last season, sold at that place, amounted to the ag'
2regate value of over two millions of dollars, and
insists that that is too large an interest to be light.

The CooLIE TRADE.-The Rev. W. G. Burns, in
a letter dated from Swatow, gives an account OF
the Coolie Trade as carried on even by English ves-
sells, which, il the fact be rs he considers, demands
immediate attention and inquiry. 1t is unjust to
attack the French for their emigration scheme on
the African coast if we are ourselves in similar ad.
ventures in China: II have nothing of special in.
terest to add, If | except what may state about
the coolie trade, viz that it is becoming more and
more assimilated to slavery. The natives are not
only %decoyed away nnder false pretences, but are
even Kidnapped ard sold, as on the coast of Africa.

at Double Island, the case is undoubtedly so for,
when the captains of ships decline taking persons

their will, the native coolie agents take them on

afraid, when asked, to say they are unwilling to go

The last Legislature Of Minnesota, which was
Democratic, passed an act that its successor should
not assemble in two years, unless called to gether
by Gov Sibley. The returns make it very evident
that the Legislature is clearly Republican, which
renders it exceedingly probable that Gov. Sibley
will never call it together at all So that the terms
of the members elect will come and go with no
chance whatever, on their part to perform any du
ties.
Gov. Melville, of Mississippi, in his message to
the Legislature, makes a terrible thrust at North.

asserts the dignity of the State over which he pre-

from the %fanatical, abolition sources from which
they come. | have not acknowled the receipt of
these resolutions, nor will | communicate them to

A S)uTuERN VIEW OF THE REAL QUESTIONS
In a letter addressed to the Atlanta Mteliigencer,
on the 9Th OF October. 1858, by Mr.. Wright, one
Of the Democratic members of Congress from
Georgia, We find the following paragraph
"Ab inc pectore 90 | wish the Democracy could
leave of the Presidency for the present, and for
get the dead, delunct, and whoily useless contro-
veisy about ~Lecompton, and look to the great
questions which DO really concern as. Beyond all
doubt, the destiny of the South, as well as the
glory of the Union is wound up in Mexico, Cuba,
and Central America"
The view taken by Mr.. Wright, is that taken
by nine'tenths of the Southern Democra tic politi
clans, and it is upon this view that they support
Judge Douglas, Notwithstanding his opposition
70 Lecompton, and Notwithstanding his Freeport
speech. 1t is not to the present Territories of the
Union that these politicians are now looking bui
it is 10 Cuba, and Mexico, and Central America,
and They know that Judge Douglas is committed
to MI their designs. Wash. Repub 'lican.
In Western New York the Democrats were un
lucky in the names of their Congressional candi,

Skinner, Mr.. Hatch, Mr.. jerks and Mr.. TrOtt.
Who could have expected to succeed with such
unlucky nomenclatures Whether Mr.. Trott
made anything of II run, we have not yet learned,
Hatch is put back into his shell Skinner has
been literally tlayed alive by the enemy Trim

the Kansas gold region will be immense next
spring, and the St. Louis Democrat remarks that
it would not be at all surprising if a Delegate
from the Larimie Territory should be asking for a
seat on the floor of Congress before the end of 1859,
The new Territory will of course exercise 'Popu'

nave another Free State to hold the slavery
propagandists in check.
