Under this bead, the Times Of yesterday,
pours forth doleful jeremiad, based on a
, newspaper rurnor that the Legislature Of
New Mexico has passed an act establishing
slavery in that Territory. Wen, what OF
it? BY the compromise acts Of 1850,
which were supported by CLAY, WEBSTER,
CAss, DOUGLAS, FILLMORE, Dickinson, and
others, and became laws solely through the
power Of their influence and advocacy, the
people Of New Mexico were declared 10 be
the sole judges Of the expediency Of estab-
fishing or prohibiting slavery within that
Territory. Acting under the powers granted
them at that time, they have chosen 10 es-
tablish and protect the institution. II is
an injury, they alone will suffer by the act
II a benefit, to them will enure all the advan.
tages. What business--what right--has
the editor Of the Times here in Minnesota,
or man in Maine, or New York, or Geor.
gia, to attempt to mould or interfere with
the local institutions OF that far distant Ter
ritory. 1t resolves itself into the impudent
assertion, on their part, OF more superior
knowledge Of the local wants OF New Mexi-
co, than that possessed by the people resi-
dent therein.
The Legislature OF Kansas, acting under
similar grant Of powers TO that conferred
upon the people Of New Mexico, has pro-
hibited slavery. Yet, according to the doc.
trine of the Times, the people of Kansas
before doing 80, should have asked the con.
sent Of the shareholders Of Louisiana or
Georgia. In both cases. in the abolition Of
slavery in Kansas and its establishment in
New Mexico, the right OF self government
IN the territories has been INDICATED. And,
yet strange to say, the exercise Of this right
proyokes the ire equally OF the ultraists Of
the South and the Black Republicans of the
North, who appears to have united on the
doctrine Of Congressional Intervention and
domination over the people Of the Terrific
ries.
We are glad TO see the Times raise this
issue. We are as willing to maintain
the right Of the people Of New Mexico to
establish slavery, as we are to, defend the
people of Kansas in prohibiting il.

We publish IN another column letter
from Scott county, Of u cheering political
character, and which We insert with great
pleasure. We have one regret however, and
that IL. that the writer should have deemed
it proper TO refer. even by inference, to past
differences in that county, within the Demo
cratic organization All such disagrecabe
topics should be buried in the past as the only
method Of securing harmony in the future.
At the last election, the Democracy OF
three counties in the State were divided in
their support of candidates, owing to diff
culties originating In the nominating con.
ven,ions by this division, in those three
counties-- Rice. Scott, and Dakota VIZ lost
thrce Senators and five Representatives. II
il had not been for this loss. both houses OF
the Legislature would have been strongly
Democratic.
Now we submit to every sincere and hon
cat Democrat, that immediate measures
should bc taken to unite the Democracy Of
Rice, Scott, and Dakota, within one organize
ton. Let il not be deferred until the can.

II In now said that there will BE- no extra
session Of Congress, ~ the President relies
on the various mail contractors To wait tor
the sums due them, after the first Of July,
until the meeting Of the next Congress 10
December.
The cause Of the failure Of the Postal ap-
preparation bill may be briefly stated as
follows: The Senate tackled on 10 the bill
an amendment raising the rates Of postage.
The bill then went to the House, when Mr..
Gaow submitted the following resolution a.
question OF order:

the Post Once Department for the year ending
j0th Of June, 1880, with the Senate amend
ments thereto, be returned 10 the SENATE, ~
section thirteenth Of ssid amendments Ia In the
nature Of revsnas bill.
Mr.. q. referred TO the article in the con
stitution which prohibits the Senate from
originating q revenue bill, and contended
that the amendments Of the Senate
increasing the rates Of postage did increase
the revenue Of the Post Office Department
which Congress appropriated 10 the same
manner that il did the revenue from other
sources.
A debate took place in the House, but
the resolution was sdopted-aycs III. nays

ate, when an exciting debate occurred on
the powers Of the two Houses. Many OF
the Senators in fact majority-contcnd

Thus IL Slavery continually encroaching up
ON the rights Of Freedom. WIo SAYS the great
battle between these conflicting elements In
our nation is at an end TINES.
WEBSTER, in defining "balder,lash" to
mean "a jargon Of words, jumhled together
without judgment" doubtless had in view
Just such nonsense as the above, elected
from the Time, at the dircful prospect of the
people OF New Mexico establishing African
slavery in their midst. let US look for
moment and ace il Slavery is continually
encroaching upon the rights OF Freedom.
When the Federal Constitution was
adopted. there was but one Free State in the
Union. the remaining twelve of the old
thirteen being slave States. Now there are
eighteen Free States and but fifteen Slave
States. thus is slavery continually en-
croachlng upon Freedom! r. There are now
five organlz,i Territories, in one OF which
there Is faint, very faint, prospect Of the
establishment Of slavery. while the other
four are morally certain to be Free States.
Thus is Slavery enerosching upon Free.

member, with the exception Of. perhaps, hal,
a DOZEN, represented Slave State consti,-
uency now, in the Senate and House. the

eucrosching upon Freedom" For long
time after the organization OF the govern
ment, the Save States possessed the uumer-
ical strength to elect President, unaided
by single Free State vote now. this con-
dition Of affairs is reversed. and the Free
States are able. without q single electoral
vote from the South. to choose the Chief
