we would prefer to reach. The leprosy OF
Slavery is upon us as nation-and as a
national evil none is greatcr-.bcnce no in
dvidual of this great Confedcracy is void
of an interest and concern as to its imme-
date influence, or its ultimate tendencies.
To suppose that such frightfu volcano
in our midst bctokenng no distant eruption,
can leave us rs people or as individuals
in state of Indifference and unconccrn, is
at once proposterous and absurd. Wise
men and good citizens will rather prefer
sagely and gravcly to explore the reality
and magnitude of the impending evil, and
in the spirit Of concord devise means to
divert or escape its dcsalatons.
If Slavery is an element Of political and
social discord, threatening the safety and
and quieiudc Of many millions of our citi-
Gems, then certainly it becomes u question
with which statesmen have TO do. II it
becomes a question for statesmen and in
voluntary acts of legislation, then it enters
into a composition f a complex character
with a nation possessing such n diversity of
character habits and pursuits as ours
Hence, somo ono particular party moro
than m other will cling pcrtnacously to
the cherished old curse, and vencratc it
for its antiquity perhaps, while some other
party will with equal patriotism and zeal
disclose the danger to which all are cy1os-
ed. This is our candid conclusion. And
from this position of fixed facts we can
discern nothing clearer in the regions of
thought, reason, and influence, than that
70 iticaIly this grave question stands out
with reference to party dcsignations-thus,
Pro. Slavery and Anti.Slavcry. do not
say that these terms become absolutely
necessary in common parlauce in their ap-
plcation to either party, to make ourselves
understood. But do mean that the great
distinctive element so vastly in contrast as
Slavery and Liberty, is the intuitivo gen.
ius that c! aractcrizcs tho one from the
other. We hope to lock at this in detail,
as leisure may permit. As ever

The rush for the new diggings in Western
Utah has already commenced. Small com
panies, on foot and on horseback, leave our
city daily for the promised land. with the
most sanguine expectations, which we fear
may not be realized. The accounts that reach
us from the diSSings scarcely justify persons
moving over thus carly. Provisions are scarce
and high, accommodations scant and Of an in.
different character. the Valleys covered with
snow and unfit for prospecting, water scarce
and the weather too cold to work to advan
tage. The miners are idle at present, so we
are informed, and but little can be done for q
month or two, before tho weather mod
crates and the snow melts. The mines cover
\ large extent Of country, and the claims ar.
but few, and until prospecting parties car
prosecute their labors to advantage 1t is folly
10 commence them.

Tue PRoSPEcr.-In the Electoral College
the slave States have one hundred and twenty
votes, and the non.slaveholding have ono hun.
dred and eighty three-a large majority
necessary to a choice, one hundred and fifty

fought between the Democrats and Black Re
publicans, if the South Americans make
no nominations and dissolve their organiza.
ton, every Southern State will 60 Democratic
California and Oregon are certain to give their
vote to the Democratic candidates From the
other free States we have only to get twenty.
five votes to secure the victory. New Jersey,
Indiana and Illinois the Democracy have
fair prospect of carrying. The vote of either
New York or Pennsylvania will be sufficient,
and We therefore regard the election Of thu
nominees Of the Charleston Convention as Ger.
tain, it matters not who may be our standard
bearers.

10 its final SUCCESS Senator Gwin, like every one
else is human aud liable to be mistaken. We think
he is in this case, aud have simply said so.-ShdSd
WerdM.
The Herald mistakes u.s. We did not OBJ
jcct to its criticising the conduct Of Dr. Gwin,
nor question its right to do so. We simply
administered gentle reproof to the Herald
for misrepresenting, unintcntionally, perhaps,
a distinguished Democrat. The Herald as
serted, rather rashly we think, that DR.. Gwin
advanced an extreme Southern view in his
hate speech in the Senate. We think differ
emily Wohave read the speech carefully and
have failed to discover anything in it of an
"extreme Southern" character. 1t ispatriot'
&c, Union.loving in an eminent degree, and de-
precatcs sectional strife and snimoSitieS We
certainly differ widely from the Herald in our
estimate Of it, and may misapprehend it; il
so; the HsrGld may convince Us of our error
by fairly quoting " the extreme Southern view
advanced by Dr.. Gwin." Will it obIige US by
publishing the extract? II would mortify US
exceedingly were we even innocenty to sane
ton . "measure or declaration injurious to
the Democratic party" and the Herald inti-
mates that we have done so by indorsing DR.
OWNS speech. Please enlighten US on this
point.

There is no punishment known to the laws
Of the United States severer than death-that
is, there is no death under our laws BY pro.
cess which includes the idea Of torture. A
paricide is simply hanged. just as any other
murderer is. High treason is punished IN the
same way. If Aaron Burr had been convicted
Of treason, at Richmond, in 1907, he would
only have been hanged. If Arnold had been
caught, he would have been put to death by
the same process, we presume Being q de.
sertcr as well as a traitor, shooting would
have been too good for him, probably.
