Mathews, | J. C. Rhodes, A. Read, and A. C. Ed munds : gen/., ,_Your respectful communica tion, requesting the publication of the Lectures upon Electrophysiology, which during the present session, I have had the privilege of delivering to the Medical Class, whose wishes, in the prem ises, you so kindly represent,—has been received and would have met with ear lier attention but for the hurry and anxiety neeessai-ily connected with a pre mature departure for home, and a final separation from an Institution with which, for the last eighteen collegiate years, I have been so intimately, and so pleasantly connected. Anxious, at all times, to gratify the laudable desires of the young and as piring, with whom for the greater por tion of my life, I have had the lot to be associated, I can only say that I will en deavor, at as early a day as may comport with my other engagements, to prepare for publication in some appropriate form, the subject of the Lectures, upon the theme suggested ar.d which has just passed in review before the t lass, with the hope that it may elicit thought.and provoke enquiry upon a subject which 1 honestly believe should demand the careful attention of the Physiologist and the Physician. Now, Gentlemen,allow me in conclu sion of tiiis hasty note, to ask you to perform for me—to the entire Body of esteemed young men whom you repre sent, a brief but interesting duty, which I would have gladly discharged person ally, but which my hasty and unex pected departure, lias denied me the privilege of attempting. Please say to them, thee, that I cannot fail to have highly appreciated the courtesy and universal respect which they have been pleased to show me, during all past in tercourse, and that while I leave this college under the pressure of an emer gency which has, — under existing circum stances, —left me no other alternative , in or der to meet the claims of honor and m tegnty—l shall always be happy to meet any of them in after life, although I should never again be their instructor, and sincerely desire their happiness for both worlds. I only ask a kind remembrance when j I am far away, or when my labors are I ended, and it is announced that I an* no 1 more. With kindest regard, gents [for yours - selves individually believe me, Truly, Yours. &c. A. Means. A New FllUbnsterltig Expedition. Correspondents at Washington state! that an uuusual number of those restless j and adventurous spirits, known as filli-j busters, are now assembled at the Capi-! tal, and that rumors are afloat of a! movement to extend the area of free dom in an entirely new direction. Thej arrival of the Ex-Dictator of Mexico, j Comonfort who has been driven from I his country by a successful revolution, j seems to have given a nefr impulse to the spirit of territorial aggrandisement American, especially Southern, eyes having long been turned in that direc tion, this late event has quickened the public interest, and caused many to look , with longing eyes to some future con tingency that may result in the practi cal incorporation of that country with our own. We are inclined to think there is more | reality than fancy in this matter. In- \ definite extension is evidently a charac- j to istic of the Anglo-Saxon race ; and a people confessedly unable to govern j themselves by any system whatever, certainly afford a strong temptation for the indulgence of this propensity, es pecially when the change, unlike most (filibustering experiments, is likely to be effected without serious opposition; from the party to be annexed. VV e nave, stirring times and important events be fore us, and in the early future.— Sac. Republican. Selfishness fobs its own grave, -ells its boneßto the doctor, and its s to the devil!

We at last | II congratulate the South that the mo-j , mentus question of the Labor Supply has' 1 taken a practical shape. The soldier j ; [ State of Mississippi has followed, Ala-! 1 1 bamais about to join in, and the great, | ■ earnest and daring peoplo of Texas, j , I whose spirit of independence, undulated j ! and unadulterated by the Union, was ■; distilled through the history of the! .' American Revolution, and doubly recti- j , i fled in her own triumph over Mexico ; ' j Texas, the lineal offspring of two wars ■ j for liberty—the child of San Jacinto t j and grand—daughter of Yorktown— , j born in battle and bred to arms—-Texas will be as ready as ever with assistance ') to the South and resistance to bet ene i! mies. So vital to our section is the 1 1 prompt introduction of African labor " j that we hail with enthusiasm every 1 j movement for its consummation. For i this purpose two programmes have L been recently proposed. One is that of Mr. St. Paul in our own Legislature, ' and the other that of Mr. Hughes in i Mississippi. We shall await with no common solicitfide the details of Mr. St. Paul’s plan, and, in the meantime, we cordially sympathize with his intentions 1 and applaud his pluck, f So far as we understand Mr. Hughes's method for supplying African labor, it is as practicable. His bill for the Char -1 tor of the African Labor Immigration Company, was introduced into the Mis . sissippi Legislature on Wednesday (Nov. 19) evening, and referred to the Jiidiea : ry Committee ; hut on the next morn i ing the session closed, and adjournment > prevented further action. A new bill, , fitted for popular discussion, is prepared 1 and about to be submitted to the press I and people of tiie State, in order that at . the next Legislature, expected to meet j this year, the Charter may be granted and the Company go into business, so | • that the high probabilities are that the! next year cotton picked by Congoes,! Eboes, I’apoes, and Bongoes will be sold on Carondelet street. In law: the position of the Mississip t pi Company is simply this : j 1. Laborers are either voluntary or! involuntary. Involuntary laborers for' - life are absolute slaves in law. Involuntary laborers for a term of i j years, or persons held to service under! ! laws of a State but not for life are statu- \ I I libers. -| 2. Arrivals from a foreign country are l either voluntary or involuntary. Mi-! | gration is voluntary, and importation) involuntary arrival. (Gibbons vs. Ogden ■(i Wheaton’s Rep. 217,and :j Story Com. |Con.,S. 1831.) Hence, as property or I involuntary laborers, Africans arc- eith-1 j er absolute slaves or statu-libers, and may! i arrive either voluntarily or involuntari-j ! iy- i The criminal clause of the United ! States Slave Trade Acts is tiiis : “ That! | from and after the first of January,lßoß, j j it shall not be lawful to import or bring! | into the United States or the Territories : thereof, any negro, mulatto cr person of color, with intent to hold, sell,or dis i pose of such negro, mulatto or person i of color, as a slave, or to be held to ser ! vice or labor.” (Act March 2, 1807.) j It is, therefore, evident, that what j the Slave Trade Acts prohibit is the in voluntary arrival of the African invol untary laborers, whether absolute slaves or statM-Übers. The statues, in short, forbid theim ! pol lution of Africans as property, whetb i er absolute slaves or statu libers. The Mississippi Company do not pro ! pose the involuntary arrival of involun j tary laborers, for that is the importa i tion of absolute slaves, or statu-libers,and ! is in violation of the United States laws. ! The Company propose to procure the voluntary arrival of voluntary laborers, j or the immigration of Africans by their ! own act, obligated to labor for a term of years. This, of course, is neither a vio lation nor an evasion of the United States law : because they simply pro i- hibit the involuntary arrival of involun tary laborers, or the importation of As ; ricans as property. Butgthe Company . propose the immigration of Africans, who, by their own free will, are obliged to labor for a term of years. This is ] not, and cannot be prohibited by Con-1 . gross—because, in the famous Died ’; Scott case, the Supreme Court have es-; j pecially decided in reference to Africans! j under the Constitution, that “ the only two ] revisions which [mintto them,and) ’| include them, treat them as property,! j and make it the duty of Government to j protect it ; no other power in relation! to this race is to he found in tire Con-' a itution ; and as it is a government oL ;'jr . - .
