heads in shame, while only the loose and ire
ligious will rejoice at this triumph of a cold
and heartless expediency over the highest be-
hests of conscience. The political propaganda
lists of Slavery, the domestic and foreign dealers
in human flesh, and time-servers of every hue,
will be in ecstacies. For weeks to come, we
shall see in the newspapers Of the South, and
especially those which advocate the revival of
the slave trade, the most jubilant CALCULATIONS
over this triumph of their principles But all
sincere lovers of Christ and humanity who
belong to the church will sorrow in silence over
its fall
We believe that the members of no other
Protestant denomination have so much rever
ence for their church as those who pertain to
the Episcopal; and this strong attachment may
save it from any considerable schism, as a con-
sequence Of its recent action. But that the
church has weakened its hold upon its mem
bers, and lessened its capacity for doing good,
there can be no doubt. Bishop Potter aments
that in more than one county IN his diocese,
the church is now represented by only single
congregation; and we shall be surprised if his
labors in visiting his focks become more ardu-
Gus, after this abandonment of the first and
highest of Christian principles reprobation of
wrong and cruelty.

To the Editor ofze National Era

To the Editor ofthe National Era:
1t seems to be a mooted question here.
whether this Territory is still governed by the
United States, or by a confederation of the
several tribes of Indians on our borders. The
generally conceived opinion, however, is, that
the Camanches, Kiawas, Arapahoes, Apaches.
and Navahoes, exercise joint control. AS an
evidence OF the correctness of this belief. they
tax the citizens adj G6itlm, oftentimes 10 the
full extent of their movable chattels. upon
which eXactlons the soldiers look with total in
difference, and therefore we are forced 10 the
conclusion, that the United States has ceased
to exercise governing control. The fact that
late Surveyor General is now acting valet IN
an Indian Chief further confirms the oninion
1t may be that the General is an UNWILLING
servant, and simply waiting an opportunity 10

pantaloons, and shirt-his spurs and shirtcol,

unceremonious leave of Mr.. Chief. / do not
suppose the loss of his jack. knife would cause
him to linger long in the unwholesome pre
cincts of an Indian lodge, for the reason that

| ably greater than that which had taken the OPP
posite course of leaving the North to settle in
the South We are aware that within a few
years small colonies from the free States have
purchased lands and formed settlements in por-
tons of the South which have been either
abandoned and deserted, or else were never
occupied but heretofore, the Northern emf
grafton to the South has for the most part been
composed of sharp-witted men of business, of
school teachers, male and female, of profess
sional men, and of mechanics, whose superior
skill in experimenting has generally found
profitable employment. Very few common la
borers have ever gone from the North to the
South in search of employment.
We have recent striking illustration ofthe alb
surdity of the theory of the Economist, that the
condition of the South is so enviable, as compared
with that of the North. The recent census OF
South Carolina, taken during the present year,
exhibits the alarming fact that in large districts
ofthe State the white population has declined du-
ring the last ten years There has been consid-
cradle expectation of slaves to the newer South
ern States; but the increase has been so great,
twithstanding, as to cut off all hope of en-
ployment for the poor whites, and to compel
them to seek homes elsewhere. Now, if South
Carolina we're overrun with population, this
fact would be less damaging to the cause of
Slavery. But the case is quite otherwise. The
population is sparse-not more than twenty
five to the square mile-while Massachusetts
has more than hundred and twenty-five to
the square mile, and still gives sign of decay.
Her population and her wealth are yearly in
creasing. Her enterprising people emigrate,
but others from Europe are glad to take their
places, and fill the void. But in South Carroll
ma the constant increase of class of laborers
who are compelled to work without wages de-
tiers immigrants from abroad, and compels the
poor whites who were born on the soil, and who
have hitherto managed to exc out existence by
occasional jobs, to abandon their native land,
and seek employment in States whose institu-
tons foster free labor.

IowA.-Our correspondence from Iowa gives
us strong assurance that Mr.. Dodge will not be
able to dodge the real issues involved in the
contest with his Republican competitor for the
Office of Governor. Great efforts have been
made in his behalf by the Administration. No
resource of corruption or of demagoguism
has been left untried, but to no purpose.
WIsCoYsIY.-In Wisconsin, we believe that
the success of the Republicans regarded as

WASHINGTON FEMALE INSTITUTE.

We call the attention of the reader to the adj
vertisement of this Institution, which is to be
under the charge of Mrs. Eliza w. Smith, late
Principal of Mystic Hall Seminary, Massachu-
sets. The preparations for this institution are
on large and liberal scale, and the experience
of the Principal, with her accomplished Board
OF instruction, give promise of school for
young ladies of the highest type of excellence,
The Principal has taken that large and commo.
dious establishment on G street, between 18th
and 18th, in which the late Postmaster General
resided. In the rear of it are buildings express
ly constructed for the Institute, in its various
departments of mental instruction and physical
exercise, including Gymnasium and studio.
Ia the ample grounds attached to the establish.
ment, circular riding track will be prepared.
for the equestrian exercises of the pupils.
These viii be new and attractive additions to
the routine of female education in this commu
nifty, and will deserve a liberal patronage.

The Richmond Wing is insisting on the ne
cessity OF overthrowing the Democracy in that
State and throughout the Union, on the ground
that the slavehoding interest is not safe in their
hands. 1t quotes from recent letter of one Of
the Times correspondents to show that in West.
ern Virginia there is strong distrust of slave
labor on grounds of economy, and adds
Free Soilism, scantily yelled and slightly
colored-when yelled or colored at all-holds a
high head in many of the slaveholding States.
1t is quite bold in Western Virginia, defiant in
Maryland, omnipotent in Delaware, does about
as it pleases in the border counties of Ken
lucky, and holds absolute possession of an i'm
pertant portion of Missouri. Yet, many of the
prominent statesmen of the dominant party say
and maintain that the South was never as
strong and safe, with regard to the present and
