The newly acqircd country IN the North
west we take it, will be entitled 10 q ter
~ritoriaI government. Until the ratif-
cations have been exchanged, which will
require some weeks, or perhaps months,
the Political status OF the country will
remain unchanged. The Russian Gov
ernor remains in his place, and the Fur
Company, for aught VIZ know TO the con-
trary, traps the Russo-American beaver as
heretofore. 1t would appear that our
Government paid upwards of $500, 900 to
~extinguish private franchises, Of which
this company holds the most important
one. There is supposed to be a popula-
tiop of about l 5000 in the territory trans
ferred, pot Including wild Indians. There
were at ono time also several Greek
Churches, some Of which still exist ; and
there was a seminary at New A~rchaDgel,
designed moro especially for the training
of priests.
The erection of a new Territorial Gov
eminent with a designated capital, will do
much to remove the sense of Iemoteness
and isolation concerning the country in
the minds Of our people. The whole re-
gion will be thoroughly explored; excur-
sion parties will make their summer trips
TO the North. instead Of South, and moth
ing of value or interest will escape the
keen observation Of these tourists. It il
already certain that il is a more important
territorial acquisition than was Arizona,
or than the peninsula of Lower California
would be were it come into our possession.
Cynical people shrug their shoulders at
what they term the coldness and desolate.
ness of this hy~perborean region. But a
cold country IS sure to have a vigorous,
hardly race Of people, and is sooner de-
veloped han a hot one. The region about
Lake Superior Is very cold. The streams
are scaled up By frost for more than six
months of the year, and yet a population
fooks to this region Of snow aud ice, aud
are content with the short summers aud
long winters, for the opportunities to de-
velop the great natural wealth of the coun-
try. The streams ofNorthern Maine and
New Brunswick, are icebound more than
half the year, aud the cold of winter is
intense. But a vigorous population in
wealth and number from year to year.
W. are not 10 lose sightof the fact, also
that the climate along the coast line of this
new territory is greatly modified by the
influence of a gulf stream setting across
the Northern Pacific from the direction oil
Japan, touching the Northwest coast, and
then flowing down parallel with the coast
for nearly 1000 miles. And yet with al
the softcniEg Influences ofthis gulfstrcam
We are still somewhat surprised to learr
on the authority os the Smithsonian In
stitution that the climate of much of the
coast line Of this new purchase is not NOR,

We have a sample ola clumsy, expen

NEW York, April 18.-The Tribune's
correspondent at Constantinople, under
date Of March 23d says France is in full
sympathy with Russia in favor of the an
nexation Of Crete to Greece, aud the in
dependence of Egypt. The withdraw of
the Egyptian forces is threatened. The
Turks are in despair. The leading
Greeks declare that d revolution in Thes.
sally is sure, and that Garibaldi will aid It.
CHICAGO, April 19.-Gen. Sheridan
writes to a gentleman in this city, that a
large portion Of Louisiana has been inun-

there by the crevasscs. He suggests that
articles Of relief for the destitute be for
warded to New Orleans, and thence be
distributed where necessary.

CIyIs.-The Pacific Christian Advocate,
after quoting quite largely, from our CORES
pendent Civis, turns round and attempts to
be very severe and witty at his expense, be-
cause ciyis took exceptions to some of the
sentiments expressed by one of the students
Of the Santiam Academy in q piece he spoke
at the close of its last ~semi-annual session
The words on which the editor plays are
misprints, and are SO evidently such We
wonder that a mar of his ~pretensions should
seizo them as saliant points of attack, and
make them the occasion Of vigorous bal
Characteristic onslaught.

The Colony OfLiberiR.


-
OF course our readers have heard of
the Colony of Liberia. It was founded
forty or fifty years ago by great and good
men, among whom Henry Clay was prom
inent. A government which in its gen.
eral features resembles that of the United
States, has been in successful operation
there for several years; and the colony is
doing fully as we'll as those contemplated
under whose immediate auspices it was
projected.
Recently while Congress was trying to
lick an appropriation bill into shape, some
ardent piggeV-loyer moved that $50, 900 be
appropriated for the purpose Ofaiding the
American Colonization Society by furnish
ing conveyance and support to such par
ties as may desire 10 emigrate to the Re-
public of Liberia. An animated discus
son Immediately sprang up, in the course
of which 1t was charged by Democrats,
and admitted by Abolitionists, that the
Congress of Liberia had recently passed
laws forever prohibiting white men from
votingl While We of the United States
were engaged in the most bloody civil
war on record war for the emancipa-
ton aud enfrauchisement of the negro
a war in which hundreds of thousands of
lives were sacrificed, countless hosts of
women made widows, children fatherless,
and billions of treasure expended-these
negroes of Liberia were passing laws de-
nying to white men the privilege of vo-
ting! w do not, however, wish to be
understood as censuring these sable Ii.
berian Legislators. We think that of the
two nations they acted the more wisely.
PROFESSIONALLY they only exercised .
natural right which every political com.
munity pOssesscs-that of declaring who
shall, and who shall not participate in ma.
king their laws. There is no question thai
these colored Legislators have exhibited
more real sound sense in Distinguishing
the white race, than the abolItionists o.
our W country in en~fraachising the ne
gro RAGS,
We cannot close without directing at
tention to one other feature of this trans
action. Congress, it is plain, or rather
the Radical portion thereof, are anxiou,
not only to feed, and clothe, and educate
and liberate, and enfranchise the negro
but to vote large sums wherewith to sepC
him off, buy twenty-five acres of land foi
him, and sustain him six months after hi
arrival in Liberia. They are willing t,
tax the white laborcrs of this nation fo
these purposes; but they extend no sucl
kindness to the poor white men and wo
men of our land. On the contrary, wheI
it was moved by Senator TrumbulI to ap
propriate something for those of tn
South who are absolutely starving, tn,
appropriation failed solely through RAD
cal opposition. They are willing to al,
lazy, worthless negroes in every conceive
bic manner; but not one cent will the.
vote to supply the necessities of the fam
ine-stricken white widows and orphans Q
the South. Such is, and such eyer wi
be Radicalism. How any honest, hu
name, and fair-minded map can remai
attached to such a party We are at a los
to divine.

The First Kentucky Resolution Of 1893.

Resolred, That the several States composing the
United States, are not united on the principle Of
unlimited submission to their General Government,
but that by a compact, under the style and title of
= Constitution for the United States, and of amend
ments thereto, they constituted q General Govern
ment for special purposes-delegated to that Gov
eminent certain definite powers, reserving, each
State TO itself, the residuary mass of right to their
self-gOyernment; and that whenever the General
Government assumes undelegated power, its acts
areunauthoritative, void, and Of no force; that to
this compact each State aeceded as a State, and is
an integral party, its eo-States forming, as TO it
self, the ether party that the Government Great
ed by this compact was not made the exclusive
or hnal Judge of the extent of the powers delegated
TO itself, since that would have made its discretion
and not the Constitution, the measure of its pow
ers but that, as in all other cases of compact
aRoaS Poseers Aarinq no eoRmon Judge, each party
kGs an equal right 70 jSdge for itseV, as reH cffR-
fractions as Of te node and measure Of redress.

While all are excited in relation TO our
Railroad matters on one thing all should
agree. That is, that the Land Grant must
BE resumed, and a re-grant made to some
Company that viii secure our State and peo-
pie in their rights in the future. Every per-
son now can see that our law making the
: rant to tho various Railroad Comps "ies in
The State was loosely drawn, and the result
has been that we have been completely

The above are our sentiments exactly.
Let the lands now held by the D. l. 8. C.
Railroad Company be resumed by the State,
aud re-grauted under a new act Of the lrgis
la.ure to the company that can give the best
guarantees for the speedy completion Of tn.
road, and upon express conditions that the
road will be built upon snch line - will
result, in the most benefit to the government
land lying contiguous to aud Interpreted
with the railroad lands. The people DO not
wsnt legislation which will give the railroad
company the lands, and at The same time
allow them to build the road upon such line

railroad selections were made, raised to s.
50 per acre, and all persons who have set

hope our legislature will lave too much hon.

waited long and patiently for the compile

Or. Livingston, the explorer Of South Afri-
ca, it would seem that he has been recently
heard from safe and sound. The reports of
his mishap Was doubted by many, chiefly
upon the ground that the negroes we're such
liars that it was pretty safe to assume that
they would never tell the truth, if there WAS
