New Mexico and slavery.

The Legislature of New Mexico, consist
ing of half breeched Indians and Span
iards, have passed a law establishing
Slavery therein, and prohibiting emancipa.
ton under heavy penalties. And yet this
is the very territory of which Mr.. Clay in
1856, pending the compromise measures,
declared that we acquired it subject to the
laws of Mexico, and therefore it was free
His emphatic declaration was that 1.-THE
laws of Nature and of Natures God as
well as the Ter loci of the land also ex-
elude Slavery" from the Territory. Air.
Webster also asserted that to apply the
Wiimot Proviso to New Mexico would
be simply to "re-enact the laws of God, :"
and triumphantly declared that mo man
would venture farthing now for a great
inheritance to be bestowed on him when
slavery shall be established in New Mex
ico." And yet in less than ten years the
predictions of these eminent statesmen are
successfully confroverteI by the actual
fact, and the wisdom of the Democratic
State Convention of Indiana in January
1849 vinlicated, when they declared "that

prevent that introduction of slavery with

would have been devoted to freedom; As
it is, the contest is yet to come which
shall decide whether slavery or freedom
shall appropriate it. When the tide oil
emigration from the North pours into it
as sooner or latter it will, we shall look
for its ultimate diScnthralment. Mean

Cuba and the Florida Canal.

We find in the National MteH;gencer a
communication from gentleman of Mis-
sissippi, suggesting what. seems to us an
easy solution of the Caba question 1t be-
ing constantly asserted that Cuba is the
Key ofMe Gulfof Meri,o." and that it is
necessary to have it in order to insure n
ready and safe passage for our commerce,
the Mississippi gentleman seems to have
looked about to see whether some other
door cannot be opened, of which we have
already the key in our own pocket. AMI
sure enough he finds Just what he wants in
the proposed ship canal across the pcnin-
sula of Florida
This canal once male, and our CON-
mcrce need fear nothing from Cuba, be-
sides having all the advantage of shorter
passage through much easier and less
dangerous navigation. This canal has
long been advocated on the latter grounds
alone-and if we now add the consider
alton OF military and naval advantages, to
SECURE which it is said we must have Cuba
at any price, it makes strong case ofpref.
erence over the proposed purchase oil
seizure of that gem of akey, and all 9th
little keys, making intlccl, a big bunch
lying near the door of the Gulf.
We beg Mr.. Buchanan to look at the
economy of the thing-if. indeed, the
homely virtue of that name has any
charms for him. He proposes to spent
thirty millions just to open negotiations
for Cuba. Let us spend ten millions t.
open the canal and the whole thing will
be better done, besides securing many col
lateral advantages not contemplated, ant
avoiding many dangers and troubles ne
cessarily involved in Mr.. BIS very bunglin;
project.
And when our Southern friends, who Sc
often complain of our efforts to get tn
General Government to improve our Riv
ers and Harbors, come forward in Con
gross with proposition to carry thi
great improvement in the South, we thinl
they will find northern votes ready to cup
port them; that Illinois and Michigan an,
Wisconsin will forget the Southern OPP

acter of the Florida Canal, will support
