extract from an editorial Of the latter as late
as the 18th of January, 1853:
at is fortunate for the country that schea
men seek to BETRAY their party and their
PRINCIPLES, by resort to shallow soph-
iStries, ,quibbles and technicalties, they are
almost sure to be disarmed and oyerpowered
by sO,rpons ,obich they themselves have fur
nished. frp If THERE SHOULD BE MEN WHO

the arguments which he has repeatedly made
against the course he is now pursuing" ).

eral Government in all its departments, to
protect, when necessary, the rights OF
persons and property in the Territories, and
wherever else its constitutional authority ex-
tends.

tory, having an adequate population, form

commences, and being consummated by admis-
sion into the Union, they stand on an equal
footing with the people Of other States and

THE SLAVE TRADE IN TExAs.-The Pales-
tine (Texas) Advocate of the 14th, says -
"We are reliably informed that about ten days
ago cargo OF native Africans were landed
within few miles of Galveston, and eighty
of them were sold in that city at $500 each.
A pretty round price for an average. This
news is reliable"
The Gonzales Enquirer of 7th says 1--WE
hear good deal being said about cargo Of
Africans having been landed in one of the
lower bays recently. The negroes are said
to be young and likely, and are held at from
$500 tc $500. Several of our citizens talk
of going down to make purchases"
