but only saw the bed truly reflected. During

The last Fayetteville Arkansian has the
following article on Congressional Inter
vention, which W. think is well-timed and
right to the point:


Z" 1t is an admitted aphorism that expc-
rience is dear school, and that fools VIII
learn in no other While the South is
clamoring for the dogma of Congressional
Intervention, the late vote in the House of
Representatives gives bitter commentary
on the practical working of that principle
Nothing could have occurred more oppor-
tunely and nothing could be more over
whelmingly convincing Of the impolicy of
the doctrine of Intervention, than the repeal
recently made of the New Mexican Slave
Code by the House of Representatives,. 1t
will be remembered that the Territorial
Legislature of New Mexico last winter en-
acted slave code, the soil, climate, and
productions of New Mexico inviting into
that region slave labor. Our recollection
is that there was but one member of the
Mexican Legislature that opposed the pas
sage Of the Slave Code. Notwithstanding
the unanimous favor with which this Code
was received by the people of the Territory,
Congress recently intervened and abolished
the Code, at least as far as it could do SO
by its action. We apprehend that when
ever Congress intervenes, it will be, as in
the case of New Mexico, for some purpose
hostile to slavery. This new revelation of
the practical workings of the principle of
Congressional Iueervention, will, we hope,
incite our readet1 70 more careful cxami-
astion of this dkctrine, and lead to their
clearer understanding of it. The point on
which the Chasl$ton Convention split was

The reduction of this Hospital outlay is to
be effected in no such way as merely reducing
the amount of the special Hospital tax. 1t
must be done by straight out abolishment
of the whole contract system. Let the Resi-
