Black Republicanism.

This is senseless epithet, made use
Of by brainless politicians to stigmatizo
TIE principles of the Republican party.
IF the appelation Black were properly
applied in the premises, it would fall on
the other side, as facts and figures will
clearly demonstrate. 1t would be quite
as pertinent for Congo African to per-
sist in calling European "black," az
the modern democracy to keep repeat
ing "Black Republicanism." Let us
look at a few facts:
There are now sixteen Republican
States, viz: Maine, New Hampshire,
Vermont, Rhode Island, Massachusetts,
Connecticut, New York, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota.
The above States, by the census of the
U. S., are found to contain phite pop
ulation of $780, $50.
The democratic States are as follows :
Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mis-
sissippi, Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas,
Missouri, Tennessee, Kentucky, Califor-
MIA, Florida, Delaware.
The foregoing sixteen democratic
States, by the same census authority,
have a population Of 6 ,421,4l8.
From these statistics it will be seen
the Republican states have a loAite pop
ulation of more than two to one, over
the democratic states. 1t would be well
for those who are fond of applying the
epithet "black republicanism," to study
the figures. If there is any sympathy
or affinity between the dark skin Of the
n egro race and political parties, it GER
tainly rests on the democracy. For
wherever the negro element is most
largely diffused in the population of
state, there the democracy has the
strongest political hold on the people,
Figures and statistics have their uses,
and if the democracy would heed these
more, they would see how unmeaningly
and ignorantly they persist in employ
ing a cant phrase-which, lift have any
Specification at all, attaches to them
selves.

PUzzLING.-The New York Tribune
says the U. S. Patent office has recent,
ly been greatlyperplexed, i'll consequence
OF the application OF slave for patent
OF a new agricultural implement. The
fact that the slave was the inventor is
established beyond question, but I'M
tortunatel y the famous bred Scott de-
cision interferes with the inventive
genius ofthe slave. The slave ofcourse,
IN the Judgement of the law, is not a
man; his mechanical powers and his
intellect belong to another. The Pat.
ent Office gravely concluded the Union
must be preserved at all hazards, there
fore decided the negro had no business
to make the application, and denied him
the benefit of a patent. What business
has negro to think in this country
The owner of the slave has taken the
matter in hand, and concludes that
since the negro is his property, he has a
right to whatever may be the product
OF such property-therefore now de-
mands the patent in his own name
The final determination of the Patent
Office in the premises, has not yet been
made known; doubtless the matter will
be SO adjusted as to save the Union.

NEW REVISED STATUTES. Some dis
appointed persons have taken to fault.
hndlng with the printing, paper and
binding of the new Revised Statutes
also pretend to have discovered some
discrepancies and conflicting provisions.
The book makes volume of about 1900
pages, is printed ON fair paper, with
good type, and respectfully bound. It's
cost to the State is one dollar and si1t,,
taoo cents per volume. No disinterested
man who has any acquaintance with the
business of printing, will say the State
paid too much for the work. No iob.
blng establishment could make money
out of the printing Of the Statutes at the
price allowed. AS to the alledped con.
tilctlng provisions in the statutes. The
gentleman who superintendent the print.
ing is not responsible for them; besides
they are of such a character az need
work no injury, and will be remedied
on the meeting Of the Legislature.

squatter Sovereignty Abandone d.

The Wanted, much praised and loudly
proclaimed doctrine of popular sover.
eighty, is being disowned by large sec.
ton OF the democratic party; also,
it is confidently asserted, the Pres
ident himself repudiates it. The
doctrine of popular sovereignty can
be maintained with no show of con-
sistency, by the endorsers of the bred
Scott decision. The latter is in direct
conflict with the former, and is so re-
garded by the most CONSTANT southern
statesmen. These two antagonisms in
political ethics cannot be reconciled !;
hence popular sovereignty will most
likely be formally discarded from the
Presidential platform of the democracy
in 1860. A correspondent of the Mont
gomery (Alabama) advertiser says Mr..
Buchanan recently declared, in the
presence Of number of members of
Congress from Alabama, that popular
sovereignty IS doctrine infinitely eoorse
than The Vihnot ProUiso."
The Washington Union, which is the
accredited organ Of the national admin
istration, lays down the democratic
doctrine as follows:
"a citizen of Virginia, may, under
the law, take his slaves into the public
territories. OF course, he introduces
them there as slaves. They are held
by him as slaves-they exist as slaves.
This Is so because they are taken as
property into the territory by virtue Of
law and there is no authority III the
local government to declare them free.
They have legal existence as property
under the decision of the Supreme
Court Of the United States"

VThe Squatters who have congrega
ted in and about Pixies Peak gold mines
are taking the steps preliminary to the
formation of Territory to be named
Co9oraia. Although the population i.
yet quite limited, not it is said exceed
ing 1000, it is expected to number many
thousands next season, if the gold pros.
poets continue to prove as encouraging
as in the past few months. The great
distance of the people from the seat Of
the territorial governme hts of Kansas
and Nebraska, is the reason assigned for
the necessity of distinct territorial or.
ganization.

Kansas and Oregon.

There is an evident disposition in
Congress to admit Oregon into the I'm
ion under an entirely different rule from
that which is applied to Kansas. Ore
gon, with less population than Kansas
and with not more than one-half the
number required to entitle it to rep.
resentatiye in Congress, will be recon-
mended for admission into the Union.
No man in Congress or out of Congress,
can render a valid reason why this dis
elimination should be made between the
two territories. The whole secret OF
the matter is, Oregon is democratic, and
would furnish two additional Senators
in Congress, while Kansas is republican,
and would be quite sure to furnish two
Republican Senators. Hence the ad-
mission Of Oregon, is looked upon with
favor by the ADMINISTRATION, and Kan
sas is not. The vote in the Committee
on Territories Of the House on the 18th
inst, is significant Of the policy 70 be
pursued. A correspondent of the New
Y ork Tribune has the following:
The House Committee on Territories
had meeting this morning and rejected
by avote of five against four, Mr.. Grows
proposed amendment to the Senate's
Oregon bill, to repeal that clause Of the
English Kansas bill, which prohibits the
people of Kansas from calling Con
venticn to form Constitution until they
have sufficient population for a repre-
sentative to Congress according to the
Federal ratio. The bill, as it came from
the Senate, was then ordered to be re-
ported

MURDER OF AN OVERLAND MAIL PAR
TY BY THE INDIANs.--The mail party
which left Albuquerque on the 18th inst.
for Neosho, had some of their animals
stolen by the Camanche Indians; but
they were pursued, and the animals re-
covered. The Indians thereupon large
reinforced themselves and attacked the
mail party, which, after several repulses
they succeeded in overpowering.
The entire party, consisting of FIVE or
SIX men, were massacred, and all the
outfit, including the mail, was DESTROYED.
The Pueblos state that the mail men
fought long and well before they were
overcome by the greatly superior num-
bers of the enemy.

CLIMATE OF Pixies PEAK.--A cores
pondent of the N. Y. Tribune from
Fixes Peak gold region, describes the
climate and country as follows:
"The climate is delightful, the scener,
beautiful and diversified the soil in the
valleys is a black, sandy loan, and yer,
productive; the Summer season is warn
and pleasant, the Winters are about tn,
same as in the Western States. Gener
ally, improvements are going on rapidly
IN both city and farming business
Where three months ago could only be
heard the sharp crack Of the rifle, and
shrill whOop of the Indian, you now car
hear onl y the sound of the white mans
ak and the pleasant music Of the an.
viii"
Another correspondent gives the fol-
lowing account of mining operations in
the vicinity of Pixies Peak:
'The gold mining has improved since
| last wrote to you. Twenty dollars
have, oflate, been taken out here to the
man in day with long toms. There is
party Of men here that have, to man,
averaged SO a day for the last six
weeks. Every day men are arriving
Nine of us have laid off a town; some
buildings have been put up, and more
will be put up this Winter There is
plenty of good timber in this region, and
the land, for farming purposes is excel
lent in the fiat bottom. This is a good
farming country, and there is plenty of
gold, and for these reasons, it is bound
to be arich country. You can find gold
anywhere you may choose to look for it.
Old California miners say that this is
the richest country in the world"
Our readers can take these statements
with whatever allowance they think
proper. THERE'S however, "a very general
agreement in the accounts, as to the
of the mines in western
Kansas.

COnstitutionality of the Slave Trade.

A SLAYER called the Wa2aderer, recent
ly landed cargo Of slaves, some $50 in
number on the coast Of Georgia, from
whence they were distributed over the
country. 1t is stated that leading south
erners will make up case arising from
this transaction, with the view of testing
the constitutionality of the laws Of the
United States, prohibiting the slave
trade. The plianey of the present U.
S. Supreme Court is relied upon TO dis
cover some flaw in the U. s. laws, SO as
to render them a nudity. There is, to
say the least, an inconsistency in pun
lshing the traffic in slaves as piracy,
outside the limits Of the U. s., and at
the same time protecting the traffic, and
declaring it legal, within our borders.
The barbarism and cruelty of the slave
trade, is if possible more aggravated in
our own country than on the coast Of
Africa. Nor does this view of the case
at all excuse the infamy of the domestic
slave trade at home. The bred Scott
decision is working great revolutions in
this democratic country ; it has shivered
popular sovereignty changed the policy
OF the democratic party, and is destined
to make still greater oyerturns, if not
arrested in its progress.
