some ten millions in 1860; though all the
time there will be, as now, stream o
rash Ndventurers heading away from IN,
diggings, declaring that there is no gol,
there. or next TO none.
Not gold alone, but lead iron, and {

discovered here, and other valuable min

the English vocabulary, from one end to

A reference 10 the Journal ofthe Ohio

still pending in Congress, will show where
Mr.. Dcnnison stood then. In a series of
resolutions introduced by him in the Sen

preamble as follows:
lst. That slavery should, by the posi-
tive onactments Of Congress, be forever
excluded from all territories now owned,
or that may hereafter be owned, by the
United States.
I'd. That II is the duty Of Congress to
use all proper and Constitutional means
/ for the abolition Of slavery In the District
Of Columbia, ut the earliest practicable
period.
Cd. That Congress should, without de-
lay, suppress and abolish within the Dis
triot Of Columbia, the slave trade In oven
form In which that trade has presented ol

4th. That no more efiootual provision
ought TO be made by law, for the recap
