In reference to the Colorado question in

the State Legislature, which numbers 80 on
joint ballot, and that on account Of divi-
sion in the Union party on Sand Creek and
the running Of Sand Creek ticket by
EVANS, CHAFTEE 4 Co, there are In the
Legislature IA Democrats and II Republic
cans, and who were formerly Democrats,
and who will unite with the IA Copperhsads
in the election Of Copperhsad to the United
States Senate. Besides, the Legislature is
represented, by reliable men, to DO corrupt
and unsafe in matters of State legislation.
It is also claimed by citizens Of Colorado,
that before they are compelled To support a
State government, the Indian difficulties
which now impose tax Of from Is to 20
cents per pound upon aour aud other staples
should be stopped permanently by the
General Government.
