elected, All Of these are Republicans.
The Mobile Mercury sagaciously charges the
Federal Government with the murder of oil those
stolen Africans, rescued from the Echo, who died
on their way back to their home. Who was it
that murdered the victims Of the middle passage
during the Echo's voyage to this country ? Let
those who advocate re opening the African Slave
trade answer to themselves, whether they are in.
noceut in the one case more than in the other.
CONDITION OF TIE NEGRo.-In twenty1four of the
thirtytwo States, negroes are allowed no political
privileges whatever that place them on an equality
with the white race. Eleven Of these twenty.four
States are free. New York practically excludes
them by a freehold qualification and a long resi-
dence before voting. Two more States-Maine
and Rhode ISLAND. exclude them by requiring all
voters to be citizens Of the United States. Mass
aciusetts and New Hampshire are about tho only
States that mako no distinction Of color or race,
and there they are not allowed to serye in the
militia.
A NEW TrRRIToRY.-Mr Colfax has introduced
into the House Of Representatives q bill sor the
organization Of the now territory Of Colona EN-
bracing all the recently discovered gold regions of
Pixies Peak and Cherry Greek. The territory will
stretch from the 1881 parallel of the Rocky Noun
tains, being from 4 to 5 degrees in width, and from
the 9th to the And parallel of latitude, making il
five degrees in length. 1t will thus be nearly
square aud will includa parts of the territory Of
Kansas, Nebraska, Utah and New Mexico, nearly
all, however, being taken from Kansas. It will
embrace within its borders not only the gold dig
gings but also the famous Peaks, the head waters
of both forks Of the Plat, of the Arkansas, and
of the Rio Grande. Also its exterior lines will be
guarded by Bent's Fort, in its southeast corner,
by Fort Massachusetts near its southern boundary,
and Fort Laramie just beyond its northern line
st. Nrain's Fort will be near its centre; D~ridger's.

100 miles, and is in the northern part Of the new
territory, and the Coochatopo pass in the South
ern.
Coloaa is the name favored 10y the settlers,

Mr.. Coifax expresses the opinion that next sum.
mer there viii be at least 10000 persons in Colony
and it being ii important that they should have Il
territorial government, he has prepared the bill.
The height Of impuience has been reached. Gov.
Stewart has issued a requisition on Gov Medary,
of Kansas, for Capt. Montgomery, who is accused
Of certain unlawful habits, among others, taking
possession of their property. 1t is quite proper
that violations Of the law should be punished. 1t
is essential to tho peace of tho Border that MUIR
derers should be punished. 1t has, however, been
the custom Of 'th9 authorities" tc reward with

have distinguished themselves as murderers in the
history of Kansas. Only now, when there is Tea.
son to believe that a number Of pro.slayory parti'

there been any symptoms Of an active desire in
official circles TO bring the red-handed men to JUS
tice. This time, the Governor Of Missouri is
greatly exercised. And the Governor OF Kansas
displays Il fatal facility for deepening the difficulty

people OF Kansas are, however, quite tired of dis

the spectacle of q company Of Dragons acting
as illustrations of the beauties Of the Admins

ANOTHER New CENT.-We have received from
Adams & Co. a specimen Of the new cent which
has Just been struck at tho Mint ia Philadelphia
1t is of the same size, and composed OF the same
metal, as the old cent, but it is much prettier in
It's device. The reverse, like the old cent, has =
wreath surrounding the words Zone cent" but the
diverse has fortunately discarded the hideous and
screeching bird of prey with which the old cent
was disfigured, and its place has the head Of an
Indian woman with a coronal Of feathers, and in
the band the word of Liberty. Around the sides
} are the words The United States Of America"
and tho date, 1859.
When the old cent was published. we remember
that we took occasion to remark that the word
0 Liberty was omitted from it, and we found in the
omission n significant sign Of the feeling and love
, of freedom in the nation. That was before the
electoral campaign of 1856, and we are happy to
state now that the time'honored and expressive
device has been restored. The motto of the Uui.
ted States of America is still L~iberty.-Erening

Among The subjects discussed in tho Cabinet
relative to our future policy with Mexico, in the
event of a recognition of the Juarez government,
is that the Marshals of the United states may
have unlimited power to pursue fugitive slaves
and seize and bring them back. So you perceive
that the opponents of slavery agitation" thrust

s RETURNED.-The party whom we stated in our
g last as having started in pursuit Of the runaway
slaves who passed near town on the following
day without the fugitives, they have eiuded them
and made good their escape. They are by this
time, no doubt, safely landed in Canada Greene

Senator Douglas has resumed his seat in the
Senate. His reception was studiously cold-few
Senators approaching to welcome his return.
There was a slight attempt at applause in the
gallery, but it was promptly checked.
