New Territories.

The filling up of Kansas with Free
State population was the most glorious
achievement which the historians of this
country viii be able to record, within the
period of the last quarter of century, to
say the least. TWAS new exhibition of
popular power. It was the salutary cor
receive of bad legislation. 1t was the
guaranty of the extension of the area of
free institutions. such as no ordinance OF
Congress has power to secure. Il was the
strong point Of freedom coming into col
lision with the weak point of slavery,
and the resulting success was not thing
OF accident, but logical conclusion, sure
to follow every experiment of the Kind.
It is getting to be so understood on all
hands; and hence there is wariness
about organizing new territories, and a
| dissemination to admit new States, lately
manifested on the administration side,
which contrast strongly with the bragga-
docio eargerness shown in former times
| by the same party.
| Arizona has been looked forward to as
the theatre for fulfilling the pro-slavery
hopes so cruelty quenched in Kansas.
The Southern Convention year ago, re-
commended its organization into Terri.
tory and so did Mr. Buchanan in his an
nual message. Shareholders in Kansas,
Missouri, and in many parts of the South,
are said to be ready to hasten hitheT,
armed aud equipped as the peculiar
institution requires. And yet the Terri
torial Committees of Congress have re-
| fused to repor: the bill for its organiza-
ton. Dacotah appears to be forgotten en-
tirely. Nevada has been favorabiy repor-
ted on in the House. As this Territory is
to take large slice from Utah, and is
thought likely to afford considerable aSsis-
lance in the management Of that rebel
lious Territory, its organization may be adj
vocated on peculiar grounds. But if our
citizens, to any respectable number, are
taking up their permanent residence In
any of these out-of-the-way localities, it
seems but right and proper that they
should have the protection and other ben
efits of Territorial government It may
be poor policy in them to leave the older
States for the shardships of frontier life,
but that is their lookout They plainly
have the right to do so, which carries with
it the claim to that security Of life and
property. which is co-extensive, or should
be, with our public domain. Besides, cir
eumstances render this emigration of i'm
mediate national importance. In order
to facilitate the necessary communication
with our brethren on the Pacific coast, tire
| quires that settlements should extend
westward as far as possible. For mail
routes, for teiegrsphs, for railroads all
of which must be supplied soon-this ad-
vance of population is desiderstum.
But while We can not compel It, we ought
not, on the other hand, to seek to prevent
it. Let things take their natural course.
/ Wherever American communities spring
up on American soil, they are entitled to
that measure of governmental privileges.
and protection which is best fitted for
their condition. Other considerations OF
party or section must take care of them
