The African Slave Trade Question.

We utterly reject the groundless and slavish
idea advanced in some quarters that the ac-
ton, or rather non-action, of the Democratic
State Convention on this subject, commits or
was intended to commit members of the party
from agitating it, and advocating in the State
Legislature, and in Congress, or elsewhere,
the repeal of the laws interdicting the trade.
The Convention simply determined not to
make the issue in any of its forms, part Of
the Democratic creed but to leave each
member of the party to exercise his own pri-
vate Judgement and to freedom OF action,
entirely untrammelled by party obligations
1t is absurd to say that because the Conven-
on the subject, the members of the party are
restrained from uttering their convictions and
striving to carry them into practical operation
The course Of the Convention proves the very
reverse By refusing to lay down rule O
party action, it left to every one thefee exer-
else Of his own will, for or against the move
ment, as his Judgment might dictate. The
Convention observed silence about the State
University, Common school system, the Levee
system, the Railroad system, and many other
interesting and important subjects, about
which it would have been manifestly indis-
Greet to have established rule of party ac-
ton; and yet who will render himself ridic-
ulous by presuming to say that Democratic
members will incur the penalty of violating
party obligations if they propose to legislate
on any of these matters
Whether it will be proper or useful to bring
the subject before the next Legislature, or not,
is wholly different question. We are merely
speaking of party obligations and of what the
Democratic State Convention meant by non
action.

DAILY EVENING CITIzEN.-J. S. Byrne,
Esq, who has had experience as a journalist
and is we'll known as an able and fluent wri-
ter, has taken the editorial management of a
new daily which is published in Vicksburg
by J. NJ Sword. The citizen makes fine
appearance geographically, and is independ-
ent in politics. We append the following ex-
tract from the first number defining its
position
With reference to our position in the next
Presidential canvass, we have only to say that
no nominee of any National Convention can
obtain our support unless the platform adopt
ed shall substantially recognise the constltu-
tional rights of the South on the slavery ques-
ton. as laid down substantially by the Su-
preme Court in the Dred Scott decision, to-
wit: That slavery is recognized in the Con-
stitution, and that it is the duty of every de-
partnent OF the federal government, Congress
sional, Judicial, and Executive, to guard and
protect it ; and unless the anteeedents of the
nominee are such as to justify the belief that
he will be safe custodian of the rights OF the
South under the constitution.

The Mormons.

According to the Valley Tan, Gentle pa
per in Utah, the population of Mormons in
the United States and British American col
onies in 1853 was not less than 68, 700, of
whom $4,000 were resident in Utah, 5000 in
New York State, 1000 in California, 5000 in
Nova Scotia and the Canadas, and 5000 in
South America. In Europe there were &c.
600, of whom $4,000 were in Great Britain
and Ireland, 5000 in Scandinavia, 1000 in
Germany and Switzerland, and in France and
the rest of Europe 1000; in Australia and
Polynesia 2,400, in Africa 100; and on travel
$500 To these if we add the different schis-
matte branches, including Strangites, Rigdo-
mites, Whiteites, the whole sect was not less
than 1260o0 In 1859 there appears to have
beena decrease in the population of Utah
the number being only 31,022, of whom 81
coo were children, 1900 women, and IL 600
men capable of bearing arms. There are 388
men with 8 or more wives-of these Is have
more than 18 wives; 100 men have wives ;
LOO with 4, and 2,4oo with more than one
wife.

A PIECE OF RAscALITY.-It appears that a
sharper in Philadelphia advertised for num-
Der Of young ladies to 60 South to fill situa-
tons as teachers of music, fifteen young wo-
men were accepted by the advertiser.
1t was simply stipulated by the advertiser
that the ladies should defray in part their ex-
penses to their respective destination. On ar
irving in New York en- route for the South,
the sharper took charge of the baggage Of the
ladies', collected from them about $3.50 for
their fare in the steamship and while they
were waiting patiently at the hotel for him to
conduct them on board, he decamped with his
plumber.

The Louisiana Democracy and the
Charleston Convention.

The Baton Rouge Advocate, the metropoli
tan organ of the Louisiana Democracy and
the official journal of the State, in the course
of an able article declaratory Of the Demo-
cratic sentiment of Louisiana, says:
There can be no apprehension lest the
Charleston Convention will adopt the danger
GUS policy of ignoring the sovereignty ques-
ton. 1t will sustain the Dred Scott decision
of the Supreme Court and the Territorial
policy of the Administration. If it shirkS
either or both, its nominee will have no claims
upon the National Democracy. 1t is not Gus
tomary with our National Conventions to
dodge or ignore" any paramount issue
Should the Charleston Convention, however,
abandon the wholesome and upright usages
and conduct of its predecessors by ignoring
any prominent measure so vital to the inter-
ests and inimical to the constitutional rights of
the South, the South will resent upon its nom
inee and patriotically ignore" him, and in such
a move we expect to take sides with the DOM
inant sentiment of our fellow citizens Of the
slave States
We don't intend to take Douglas; nor do
we believe there are fifty Democrats in this
State who now differ from this declaration.
He is demagogue and enemy to the constitu-
tional guarantees of the South and il a Dem
ocrat even ON the most useless issue, he is too
tricky and suspicious to deserve the least con-
fidence.
