departure from the law Of equality,
which has been so generally adhered
TO in our history.
If information submitted in connoc-
ton with this bill is reliable, Colorado,
instead of increasing. has declined in
population. AT an election for mem
bers Of a Territorial Legislature held
in 1864, the number Of votes cast was
6,l92 while at the irregular election
held ln 1865, which is assumed ms O
basis for legislative action at this time
the aggregate Of votes was 5,9O5
Sincerely anxious for the welfare anC
prosperity of every Territory anc
State, as well as for the prosperity
and welfare of the whole Union, | re
grct this apparent decline Of popula
ton in Colorado, but il is manifest
that it is due to emigration, which il
going out from that Territory to Other
regions within the United States
which either are in factor are believed
by the inhabitants of Colorado TO be
richer in mineral wealth and agricul
tural resources. IT. however, Colora
do has not really declined in popula
ton, another census or another elcc
ton under the authority of Congress
would place the question beyond doubt
and cause bnt little delay in the ulti
mate admission nf the Territory as {
State, fdesired by the people. Tht
tenor Of these objections furnishes tn,
reply which may be excepted to 81
argument in favor of the measure, dc
Iprived from the enabling act whicl
was passed by Congress on the 21s
day of March, 1864. Although Con
gress then supposed that the condition
Of the Territory was such as to war
rant its admission as n State, the re
suit of two years experience shows
that every reason which existed fol
the institution of a Territorial insteaC
ola State government in Colorado, a
its first organization, still continues il
force.
The condition of the Union at th,
presentmomentis is calculated to inspir,
caution in regard to the admission o
new States. Eleven of the old States
have been for some time, and still re
main, unrepresented in Congress. i
is common interest Of all the States
as well as those represented as
those unrepresented, that the integri
ty and harmony of the Union shoulC
be restored as completely as possible
so that all those who are expected L
bear the burthens of Federal Govern
ment shall be consulted concerning
the admission of new States, aid thai
in the meantime no new State shal
be prematurely and unnecessarily ad
mitted to participation in the politi
cal power which the Federal Govern
ment wields-not for the benefit o
any individual State or section, bu
for the common safety, welfare, ant
happiness Of the whole country.

SILENCE IN NATURE.-It is a remarH
able and very instructive fact thd
many of the most important opera
tions of nature are carried on in I'd
broken silence. There is no rushin
sound when the broad tide of sunligl|
breaks on a dark world and floods
with glory, as one bright wave aftd
another falls from the fountain, mi
lions of miles away. There is NJ
creaking Of heavy axles or groanin
of cumbrous machinery as the soil
earth wheels on its way, and ever
planet and system performs its rev
Iiutions. The great trees bring fort
their boughs and shadow the cart
beneath them-the plants cover then
selves with buds, and the buds burs
into flowers, but the whole transa,
lion is unhcard. The change frol
snow and winter winds to the bio
SONS and fruits and sunshine Of sun
mer, is seen in its slo1 development
but there is scarcely a sonnd to te
of the mighty transformation. Th
solemn chant of the ocean, as it raise
its unchanged and unceasing voic,
the roar of the hurricane, and th
soft notes of the breeze, the rushin
of the mountain river, and the thur
der of the black browed storm-a
this is the music of nature-a grca
and swelling anthem of praise, break
ing in on the universal calm. Their
is a lesson forus here. The mighties

THE DIFERENCE.-The dis-union OF

picking the stars out of tho flag, rcnd

and digging mines beneath the great
