SLAVERY DooMED.-slavery seer

SLAVERY DooMED.-Slavery seems
doomed to go to the wall in all direct
ions. It's downfall in the United
States, where it had, apparently, its
surest throne of power, was but the
signal for general crash. The Span
iards, next to us, the chief champions
of slavery are fast becoming "Aboli-
tionists." The Provincial Government
of Spain has given assurance that the
new draft of Constitution which they
propose, will contain a clause prohibit
ing slavery in all the Spanish possess
ions. The ratification of the clause and
the method of enforcing it, are depend
emf upon the decision of the Constitu-
ent COrtes. Counting on the adoption
of the proposal by the Cortes, of which
there can be little doubt, it insures abb
clifton whether the Cuban revolution
succeeds or fails.

Washington is to have what may tru-
ly be called Black Republican paper.
A corporation of wealthy colored men
will soon establish at that place Ma
tional Republican journal TO be devot-
ed exclusively to the interests of the
race. Fred. Douglass is to be the
editor. 1t cannot fail of success. 1t
will be the newspaper of five millions
of people. The start will be made with
a weekly issue, and a daily will soon be
demanded. The colored people of the
nation surely need representative
guiding organ, and Fred. Douglass OF
all other men is the man to lead his race
into higher life.-Er.

KANSAS SENATOR'S ABSENT.

Senators Pomeroy and Ross, of Kan
saa, were not present to vote on the
Constitutional Amendment when it
passed the Senate. Our Senators seem
TO have the happy faculty of absenting
themselves from the Senate Chamber
when any questions of importance are
likely to be voted upon. Men who
have not the nerve to be at their posts
and vote squarely on such questions, are
not qualified to represent the people OF
Kansas.
