They get cheated out of California by

country lo‘ themselves, and expressly
exclude the slaveholder by a Constitu
tion a lew of them manufacture in a
burlesque Convention. But they get
territorial governments for New Mexico
and Utah, with non-intercentton—that is
to say, governments which afford no
guarantee to the slaveholder that he can
hold bis slaves there : but on the con
trary, with every assurance that if he
commuted the folly of carrying slaves
there, he would find neither law, nor
public opinion there to protect his right
of property. It is non-intervention post

of practical value to the Southern man.
It comes to him after there has been
practical intervention of the most un

which, forever excludes him from Cal

The reflections suggested by the pre

The maintenance by violence of the
military government extends not only
to the form of government, but also to
the civil officers whose conduct in the
past has so much increased the disgust
of the people for the anti-republican
government uuder which they have suf
fered. The division of party in the re
cent elections having been authorities
against people, resulted as such coutests
riably will, when the people know
their rights, and knowing, dare main
tain them, in the defeat of the authori
ties and must be considered a vote of
want of confidence in the military com
mander’s ministers.
The military commander’s proclama
tions, throwing the whole power and
control of the elections (including the
designation of precincts, nomination of
judges, and making returns) into the
hands of the authorities, the army ol
office holders, judges, prefects, sheriffs,
alqunziles, jailors, contractors, sutlers,
governors, interpreters, and the large
vote of the employees of the quarter
master’s department, were all in vain
brought to bear against the people.—
Yet, after a triumph over such influenc
es, the arms of the United Slates
about being turned against her citizens
to force upon them aGovernment which,
having failed to protect life, liberty,
property, or the free exercise of reli
gion, is in direct violation of the guar
anties of the treaty ol Guadaloupe Hi
tlalgo.
The lately repudiated civil authori
ties, in order to the maintenance of iheii
positions, have systematically poisoned
the public mind of the United Stales
in representing the people of New
Mexico as incapable of self-govern
ment ; and a plan is now developing it
self, backed by the bayonets of the
General Government, to torture, by acts
of oppression, the inhabitants into acts
of resistance and violence, which (acts)
are to be used as arguments to prove
their incapacity.
I have deemed it my duty to avail
my3elfof the earliest opportunity to ‘
less and dependent condition wdl the
Southern Slates be?-
But anti-slavery will not be content
simply with strengthening itself by
such new accessions to the confederacy.
Partly by stealing, and decoying the
with like antagonistic feelings to the
stitution of slavery, must add tn these
just apprehensions of the Southern pco*
pie. -
