The American aud Republican vote combined
barely exceeded Tic Democratic vote by 1o4.
Since then, many of those calling themselves
Americans hare gone over to I'll. pro-siayery
pnrty. Lust Spring The arerage Republican ma
jor;ty was only LEO, in poll Of $4,000 votes.
If the Republicans hold their own this Spriug,
against the combination organized to overthrow
them, they will Luye done exceedingly well.
Ten Thousand dollars were sent lust week from
this city TO the dirt-catcrs Of Connecticut, to
purchase the vena1 md retain the watering.
Tho money was raised By levyips blacl-.nait
upon tho Office holders and corruplion;sts. You
cannot imagine the effort the Administration is
making to break the New England phalaDx
Lincoln has done q nub'e work iu arousins the
people to their duty, in his recent tour through
the State. Tom Corwin hns been 1nyited 10
spend next week up there. No stone will be
left unturued to save the State from falling into
tho hands Of the Shamocracy.
Two bills have been reported from the Judi
ciary Committee, Of which Hickman is chair
man, that are likely to attract large share Of
public attention. The first bill is on the sub
ject Of Polygamy in Utah, the substance Of
which is us follows:
Wasn..s r., relyEasny,s souest to e,o.
privilege Of sclfsovernmett qutscs such N
a1ntnsion ee that such provisions
pEoaea 5e isss t*a nor Sors .Ssn T. usss d.

There are two Popular Sovereignty Demo-
erats on the Committee, Hickman and Reynolds,
and one American, Nelson; two National demo-
Gratis. Houston Of Ala. and Taylor Of Louisiana !;
also four Republicans, among whom is kellogg;
Of Illinois. The two National Democrats op.
pose the bill. All the others are fur it. Tic
Nationals are in favor Of the twin relics Of
barbarism, polyga1ny and slavery" The Re-
publicaus want to cut up this foul excrcseuce by
hn md NJ fhn Aaoe 1r-
respect The sentiments Of the Christian aad
civilized world, or he removed from American
soil The bill will pass tho House. What will
the Democratic Senate do with it, Kill it,
presume.
The other measure is to repeal the slayc code
Of New Mexico. Republican members Of Con-
gress have never been able to Eet hold ofan OIL
cial copy Of the slave code Of that Territory un-
til within few weeks. Mr.. Bingham Of Ohio,
who is OH the Judiciary Committee, has submit
ted bill annulling that black and barbarous
conspiracy against the rights Of human nature,
which has received the sanction Of all the Com
mittce save the two frc.caters aforesaid, aud
the House will be brought to face The music b.
fore long. The orgaric law Of New Mexico ex-
prcssly reserves to Congress the right TO make
nall aud void any act OF its Territorial Lesisiu-
ture, which they shall see fit to veto.
Ono Of the provisions in the black code pro-
rides TINT any free colored person, found in The
an osraer, shall be taken up as an astray, lodged
in jail. advertised by the Sheriff for an owner,
and if none appears, shall be sold to the highest
bidder US slave for life and his posterity nfter
him or her, and the proceeds shall be paid into
the county treasury. Another section iorbids the
emancipation Of s!aves under severe penalties.
Other sections fine, imprison aad condemn to
the Pcnitcntiary any American citizen who shall
oppose slavery in New Mexico, or write, speak
or print against the internal institution. An
other section throws y bite men into the pcpi-
tentiary who shall advise or nd cotorcd man
10 escape or regain his freedom. To believe in
the Declaration Of Independence, as Republic
cans understand it, is u peEitensiasy offence:
But there is ono section that caps the climax Of
this Democratic code. It provides that any
employer who hires tc1:ts men to work for him,
shall have the legal and perfect right
except that be shall not take life or
break their limbs; and the white free laborcrs
so beaten, shau hdce no re3rtSs at lsto! Think
of that Democratic law, - "Hud-siils" who
work for wages. Tie Democratic Legislature
Of a Democratic Territory has made it legal for
a boss to log his white workmen. ANY white
,nan who employs another white man TO labor
for him, has lawful right to kick, cuf. caue
and cow-tide the workman It his pleasure, But
nll this is in harmonious conformity with the
modern Democratic idca that tue capitalist has
q perfect right to osna Lis taborers. nann that
o.cns slaves Gas right to horsew hip them when
lie pleascs; mud this New Mexican Democratic
Law merely extends the same Democratic prisi-
lese to the boss which is enjoyed by the siave-
master. What ~ inestimably precious privilege
il is to be Dcmocrat-espeeiallyi if the person
he poor. II be il rich, be enjoys the luxury Of
licking his laborer; if he be poor he can expert
ence the felicity Of being pounded. i wonder
fus md bcncticent institution is Democracy, and
how peculiarly adopted 10 u free country?
Mr.. Hickman, from the Judiciary Committee,
reported resolution, which wa, adopted calling
on the Sec, etary Of tue Interior for statement
Of the accounts Of NJ. Fine, late u $. Marshal
for Illinois, and fer information As to whether

+ Three Of The contested election cases arc ripe
for trial before the House. The Committee has
riyeu them pretty thorough examination. i
