The Free Labor Triumph in st. Louis.
Thrice, in three years have the Free Soil
party of st. Louis thrown down the guage to
the slavery propogandists, and thrice have
they emerged from the conflict with victory
and honor. All nationalities participated in
the victory of yesterday Henceforward let
us recognise an inviolable fraternity, until the
high places of the nation are purged of Pro
Slavery Democracy. The tide is rolled back
forever from the frontiers of this State. Last
summer the Lethean flood of niggerism almost
closed above our heads Friends at home de-
sponded, and friends abroad despaired. We
showed, by incontestible proof, that the result
of that election was not fact bat fraud !;
but yet we experienced how hard it is to reas-
sure dispirited host. The event of yester-
day shines like fixed star through the clouds
and mists. The city of st. Louis belongs no
more to the Pro-Slavery faction than the rock
and fortress of Gibralter to the Spaniards.
Never can the principles of free soil, free
speech, and free labor be dislodged from the
right bank of the Mississippi.
OF the Free Democratic German Press
powerful in influence and talent-we can only
say that never before did it give more en-
phatic expression or more pointed direction
to the sentiments of the German population
of st Louis. Were we to indite more for
NAL eulogy, it might be construed as an as
sumption on our part, to exercise the Office of
censor, and distribute praise and blame-an
assumption which good taste must condemn
when equals and fellow soldiers are speaking
of one anOther.-St. Louis Dem.

The Democratic Split In pennsylvan,

The Democratic Split I'm Pennsylvania.
The New York Times of Thursday, has an
editorial on the Democratic split in Pennsyl-
vania, which it regards as significant 1t
says:
What has happened in Pennsylvania will
happen in every northern and western State,
where the same provocation may be given
1t is utterly impossible to force the Democracy
into the position which Mr.. Buchanan seems
determined it shall occupy. Illinois will not
consent to it for moment. Her sentiments
on that subject has been very distinctly pro.
nounced already, and there has been no want
of a purpose or wish to recede from it. The
recent debate in the Senate disclosed the de-
termination of the leaders Of the Administra-
ton party to insist upon Congressional inter-
vention for the protection of slavery in the
Territories. 1t was distinctly avowed that
no man not sound on this point, or who held
with Douglas that the people of the Terrific
ries must have just as complete control over
slave property as over any other property,
could hope for the Charleston nomination /;
and with the two-thir rule, which gives a
minority absolute control of the Convention,
and which has been from the beginning the
favorite weapon of conspirators in the Demo
cratic ranks, they will very possibly be able to
accomplish that object; but against any NOM
ination which may be made on any such basis,
and against any platform which may be adopt
ed in conformity Herewith, the Democracy of
the North will inevitably rebel We shall
have repetition of 1S4S. The Pennsylvania
movement is the beginning the first step in
that direction-and it will certainly be imi-
tated by every State.

UnfavOrable from the Gold Mines.

AS we have frequently given assurances
that the Gazette would give the latest, most
reliable, and, in fact, all the news from the
Gold Mines, or elsewhere, it is proper that we
should give some recent reports that have
reached us.
We are informed that Mr.. Talbot Faireigh,
brother of VIM. G.. Fairleigh, of the firm of
Tootle g. Fairleigh, of this city, has just ar
rived from Cherry Creek whittier he emigra-
ted last fall, in October, or November, as no
ticed by us at the time, and where he spent
the winter. We have not seen Mr.. F., but
are reliably informed that he says the mines
won't pay, don't pay, and have not paid. He
is surprised at the rush in that direction, and
predicts the greatest amount of suffering
among those who are going out so lily pre-
pared, and especially among those going with
hand carts.
Mr. JAS R. Campbell, of Holt county, has
also written back to the Forest City Monitor
that the mines are not paying so far as his OBJ
servation goes, but thinks there may be dis
coveries made in the mountains which will
prove rich. Mr. VIM. Zook, of the same
county, has also returned, making similar
report. These are all young gentlemen of in
telligence and respectability.
We have recently given some very encour-
aging news from the mines, and have always
given the authority for these reports We
now give this adverse news that those who
read our paper may be in possession of all
the information which has been elected.
The reports are thus conflicting, as to the
richness of the mines, but all concur that
there is gold there; the color is found every
where. A few months will determine the
matter-S. Joseph's Gazette.

John minor Bolts on slavery.

The Richmond Enquirer having attacked
the Hon. John Minor Bolts, ON account of a
speech made at Powhatan Court House in
1850, and having called for correct copy of
that speech, Mr.. Bolts has sent them one ewith
the following endorsement: : 10 ,~r.-.'.rs
''No garbling. I hope the readers of the
Enquirer will be informed that l have sup
piled the document called for j. M. B."
The Enquirer then makes the subjoined ex-
tract from this speech:
81 am one, of those who think slavery, in
the abstract, is much to be deprecated; and
while 1 think that, as at present organized in
the Southern States, it is humanizing, civil
izing, and Christianizing institution, as all
must agree who will take the pains to compare
the present condition Of our slaves with the
original African race !; yet regard it as great
calamity that it ever should have been entail
ed on us; and should look upon that man
as the first and greatest benefactor of his
country, whose wisdom could point out to us
some pratical and satisfactory means by which
We could, through our own instrumentality,
and without interference from our neighbors,
provide for the ultimate emancipation and re-
moval Of all slaves in the country. speak of
this as desirable thing, especially to the
owners of slaves, who, think, are the chief
sufferers, but, at the same time, fear it is
perfectly Utopian to attempt it but have
seen too much difference between the enter
prise, the industry, and the prosperity of the
free and the Slave States, to doubt the advan-
tage we would derive from it if it could be ac-
complished."

California Gold in I722.

The fact of the existence of gold in Califor-
mia, was known as early as 1922, if Shelvocke
may be credited, who alludes to the existence
of gold at "Puerto Seguro," about two
leagues north-eastward of Cape St. Lucas
This voyager, at page 400 of his Voyage
Round the World" in 1719 and '22, London
Ed. Svo, 1926, says: 1.-The soil about Puer-
to Seguro (and very likely in most of the val
lies) is a rich black mould, which, as you turn
it fresh up to the sun, appears as if inter-
mingled with gold dust, some of which we
endeavored to wash and purify from the dirt,
but though we were little prejuced against
the thoughts that it could be possible that this
metal should be so promiscuously and univer-
sally mingled with common earth, yet we en-
deavored to cleanse and wash the earth from
some Of it, and the more we did the more it
appeared like gold; but in order to be further
satisfied, brought away some of it, which
we lost in our confusion in China But be
that, as it will, it is very probable that this
country abounds in metals of all sorts, though
the inhabitants had no utensils or ornaments
of any metal whatsoever which is no wonder,
since they are so perfectly ignorant in all arts.

Desperate Fight on q Steamer.

From the Louisville Democrat, March GOTH
We are called on to record one of the most
bloody affrays that has occurred in our city
for some time. 1t occurred on the steamboat
David Tatum, while lying at the wharf yester-
day morning. There was party on board
the boat bound for Pixies Peak, among whom
was James Philips, from Scott county. Phil
ips sat down on the bench near the boilers,
where the deck passengers eat their meals
When they came to eat breakfast they asked
Philips to get up. He was under the influence
of liquor, and refused. Words passed, and
the parties were soon engaged in a fight
Knives and pistols were drawn, and freely
used. One deck hand, named Bob Jones, was
shot in the thigh; another named Ed. Wall,
cut in the arm man named Patrick O'Neil
was cut in the hand, and slightly scratched IN
the leg by bullet. But the most seriously
of all who were wounded, was JAMES Philips,
the creator Of the disturbance; he received
stap in the right breast. The wound is be-
tween the sixth and seventh ribs, and is about
one inch and half in length the lung is cut
in shocking manner 1t is the opinion of the
doctor that he cannot live. Wall and Jones
have been arrested by officer Blgh. We un-
derstand that after Wall had Philips, he threw
the knife in the river. 1t is described as a
most murderous weapon. Mr.. Bligh took
Wall to the hospital, where Philips had been
conveyed, that he might be identified. Phil
ips recognized Wall, and selected him from
among two others, as the one who had cut
him. They were then conveyed to Jail; Phil
ips feeling convinced that he could not live, has
given statement of the facts, of which the
above is the substance.

Congregational Clergymen of the town, also
participated in the services. This Church
edifce is 35 by SO feet, with 19 feet posts,
and surmounted by fine tower The build
ingis very we'll finished, painted and furnish
ed. The AZ seven feet pews, are capable of

Sermon Rev. H. NJ. Nichols of Saltwater -
Dedicatory Prayer, Rev. G. II. Marshall of
Hudson, Wis There was also preaching in
the evening by Rev. G. II. Marshall.
This building is a fine frame structure,
80 by SO, surmounted with tasty spire, ,and
will cost when completed about $4,000. Of
this, the sum of $500 was received from the
Building Fund, and not a dollar of debt has
been incurred. s.....u ...
1t is the only church in the village, and the
people have taken considerable interest in the
enterprise. 1t is the outpost of the church in
this direction, being the most northern Or
ganization in Minnesota in the valley of the ST.
Croix. Here is church about year old,
and a congregation Of $50. Their house has
been built without pastor Rev. Nelson
Clark, formerly of Quincy, Massachusetts, is
expected to take charge of the church in the
spring.

; A New YoEker's Opinion.

CHARLES HALLocK, Esq. Of the New York
Journal Of Commerce., writes for; the April
number of Harper, a very interesting account
Of his western tour under the, title of ''''The
Red River Trails, After calling this city
tho mecca of the Northwest" he goes on to
say: ....,r. ,r.,.....-.-.'.-.. 40 80 :. . -
"St,, Paul possesses all the characteristics
Of thriving Western cities. It looms up in
majestic proportions, like the hug ge framework
Of a leviathan, showing rather what is to be,
than that which now IS. It is simply giant
in embryo, Here stately warehouses and fine
blocks Of brick and stone buildings, noun
tains Of earth, and Alps Of rock are strangely
commingled. p Palatial structures, plank side
walks, with steps ascending and descending,
hills, guIlies, ravines, lagoons, and ridges well
graded streets, gaspipes, steamboats,, tempo
rary rickety shanties scattered here and there
without system or regularity, like drift-wood
left by a food Hdded Beau ,Brummels and
moccasined Winnebagoes, lager beer and bill
lard saloons, with an admixture of tobacco
pipes, half dimes, city and county scrip, ban
kers, and ercel estate brokers, and a general
conglomeration of all things good, bad, and
Indifferent, form one grand and magnificent
hotch- -potch that out rivals the confusion of
the diluvian period. Yet these very features
are the best evidences of the wonderful pro-
gress and enterprise of the place. q. In truth,
the camp fires of the Indians have but Just
been extinguished, and the wheels Of the draw
rumble over the fresh trails of the bear and
deer. This surpasses all expectation. How
ever, it can be accounted for in great meas
ure. Emigration tends directly to Saint Paul.
1t is the only point in this part of the country
that is known or heard of abroad Every
body comes here, stops here, and settles. it
is a great soeA, and all the springs run into
it."

MIR. Buchanan and the Charleston Con.
ventiOn.
The Washington correspondent of the Phil
adelphia Press under date of the oath inst,
writes:
understand that Mr. Buchanan is exceed
ingly elated by the "a to 81 vote, denouncing
Gov. Parker, and endorsing himself His de-
light does not merely compass what he deems
present victory, but expands to the dazzling
platform upon which the Charleston Conven-
ton will exhibit the Democratic nomination
for President. ...r..
Upon receipt of the news of his triumph in
Pennsylvania, Mr.. Buchanan, as learn from
undoubted authority, announced to his imme-
date personal and political friends, who were
present, that he would be candidate before
the Charleston Convention, that in fact he had
to be, the times demanded it, the Democracy
needed it, the country would not be content
without it, backed as he was by the Democ-
racy of Pennsylvania.
Moreover, he expressed the belief which,
no doubt in connection with the Pennsylvania
resolutions suggested the thought, that with
the persistency of the Douglas mems cranki-
ness, JEFF. Davis's individuality, Toombs' Sec
ticnalism, Hammond in his extreme antagon-
ism to Seward, and all the other ideas and
people tending to the disruption of the party,
he was the only one likely to suit the Conven-
ton, as a matter Of necessity.

During the past week prairie fires have ex-
tended in nearly every direction around our
village, illuminating the horizon and the clouds
IN the evening, sweeping over the rising
ground, and disappearing in the hollows soon
to reappear upon the rise of ground or extend
over broad expanse of level prairie in full
view of the spectators; suggesting to the i'm
agination the evolutions of an army with torch
lights, now advancing, now receding, then
taking up its line of march and steadily pro-
crossing into the distance, or advancing near
our dwellings, a road, well beaten path or fur
row, being sufficient to check its progress and
extinguish its light. Altogether, these fires
form splendid sight of an evening, one which
our eastern friends who have not been west
have never witnessed. And this, too, hap
pened this year and last in the month Of
March.--Glsncoe Register. + g" l..

Reopsening Of. the slave Trade.

That the party favorable to, the re-opening
Of the foreign slave trade is rapidly gaining
ground in the South, we have not the slightest
doubt. The measure is only the logical result
Of the doctrine, now almost universally pro-
claimed, by Southern pulpits and presses
that. slavery is itself right. The National
Era agrees with us as to the tendencies
of the public opinion at the South. 1t thus
says ---' i' E''' 1''' IL 1..-'''. '.'''' q
"There can be no doubt that the idea of
reYaVing the African slave trade is gaining
ground in the South We sincerely regret
this, but the fact cannot be disguised. Some
two months ago, we could quote strong ar
teles from ultra Southern journals against
the traffic but of late we have been sorry
to observe in the same journals an ominous ST.
lence upon the subject, while, the advocates of
free trade in negroes are earnest and ac-
tive" ~ - .-'ij 10 -'.' .-'.i q" .
A correspondent of the Journal Of Com
merce in South Carolina writes: ''' z ''''- Z.
d" Our district was somewhat excited few
weeks ago. concerning the landing of somo
$50 Africans. From what can learn, they
were brought up the Savannah River, and
landed on or near Beach Island, in this dis
trict, or at least a part of them. These ne
groes are now scattered throughout the South,
and have not been so fortunate as to see one
of them. l don't suppose that there is a
Slave State that would be willing to open the
slave trade. But as long as Congress prohib-
irs it, or tries to do it, slaves will be brought
from Africa here. 1 consider that law un-
constitutional, and have always thought it so.
Now, let Congress say to the South, IDEAL in
slavery if you wish to do so,' or, in other
words, abolish this unconstitutional law, and
every slave State will look to her interests
Immediately and take active measures to sup
press it; but SO long as Congress interferes,
there will be slaves brought from Africa
here. There are daring and adventurous
men who will always be willing to undertake
it."
This shows the argument likely to be urg-
ed upon Congress for the repeal of the law
of 1920 and that argument is not more un-
likely to prevail in the next Congress, or the
one that will follow it, than it was in 1850
that the Missouri Restriction would be repeal
ed
