The Southern democracts did not get Gen. Cass, their Northern President, uor any part of California; but they get wonderful acquisition! non-in tervention, with a Northern interpre tation, applied to New Mexico and Utah. They get cheated out of California by a set of free soil squatters, who vote the 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 poned till it has uot even the shadow of practical value to the Southern man. It comes to him after there has been practical intervention of the most un warrantable kind, sanctioned by the Executive, and confirmed by Congress, which, forever excludes him from Cal ifornia, and wili, by like process, forev exclude him from all other government territory. The reflections suggested by the pre sent attitude of affairs, and the future prospects of the South, bring us to the . following conclusions. | First. The grea\and increasing pow er, wealth, population, and resources, ; of the non-slaveholding portion of this Confederated Republic, in which with the uuiforin, determined spirit of hostility to slavery which the anti-slave ry Stales. have exhibited, and the sure tendency, if not the avowed purpose, of their policy to destroy the institu tion. The future holds out -to the Southern man a dismal prospect of hopeless struggles, on the part of the doomed South, while she remains in the Uuion, against the ttumerous powerful and con stantly increasing free-soil States. The fiat has gone forth. There shall the slaveholding States are, and will be, be no more territorial extension of Slave-J as long as they remain members of it, ry. No more slavisholding Stales sitall J a helpless minority, against whose pecu- bc admitted into the Union.

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.
